On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a new year brings a new look.

Nothing much happened today, so we all sat together at the door and chatted.

Last night, I really managed to get those two brothers from my second uncle's family completely under my thumb.

When they got up early in the morning, the two brothers were still dizzy. While they were eating, their wives were laughing at them, saying that the two of them had managed to get someone drunk.

My second aunt was also having a good time. Yesterday, my second uncle told her the whole story, which really opened her eyes.

My second uncle's exact words were, "Just you wait and see, from now on, all my sons will come home early every year because a true dragon has emerged in our family."

“In the past few years, the second son’s family would avoid coming back if they could, because the family here is full of peasants and there is no one who can help. So the second son simply stopped coming back.”

“Things are different now. My fifth brother’s son, Ah Long, is doing very well in Shenzhen. He can afford a car worth tens of millions of yuan. You can imagine how big his business is.”

"With the cousin relationship, who would go to the trouble of seeking help from afar?"

If Zhang Long heard what his second uncle said, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.

Zhang Long didn't go live today either. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it's better to spend more time with your parents.

Just then, Zhang Long's phone rang. He took it out, glanced at it, and answered it.

"Uncle Hu, you even called me personally, I'm really flattered."

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone, whom Zhang Long called Uncle Hu, said irritably, "It's the New Year, and you don't even call me to wish me a Happy New Year. I have to call you."

"Oh, this is a misunderstanding. I didn't call yesterday because you must have been busy last night, Uncle Hu. I was just planning to call at noon."

"It was the same last year. I tried for more than two hours straight but couldn't get through. This year, Uncle Hu, you've gone even further. Doesn't that mean you're even busier?"

While Zhang Long was on the phone, his hands didn't stop moving; he took a piece of charred firewood from the brazier and poked it at the ground.

Just then, a discordant voice rang out: "Why are you so handsy?"

"You're not the only one sitting here warming yourself by the fire. Don't other people need to warm themselves by the fire too?"

The speaker was Zhang Qing, who was now among the crowd. Jun Ge, being on the first day of the Lunar New Year, didn't want to bother with him.

So none of the people present paid him any attention, which made Zhang Qing, who considered himself a successful person, extremely angry.

Zhang Long's little action just gave him an excuse to vent his anger.

Zhang Long glanced at him, then threw down the firewood, covered his phone with his hand, and walked to the side to talk.

Uncle Hu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's wrong on your end?"

"Why is it so noisy?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just had nothing to do today, so I was sitting by the fire at the door."

"Mainly because there aren't many entertainment options in the countryside, and I'm not interested in playing mahjong."

"Hehe, you're still the same as ever. I heard your business is booming lately. How about moving your headquarters to Shanghai?"

"With Uncle Hu around, no one dares to touch you in this small corner of Shanghai."

"Haha, Uncle Hu, I'll consider it this year."

"Alright, come over to our house when you have time. Your Aunt Li and Xin Xin miss you a lot!"

"By the way, Xin Xin is graduating this year. I originally wanted her to work in the public sector, but she insists on going to your company. I can't persuade her otherwise. You can decide what to do yourself!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Long was completely bewildered.

He met Xin Xin when he first arrived in Shanghai to buy a house and complete a system task.

It's a very cliché hero saves the damsel in distress story, plus Zhang Long has been optimized by the system and is now very handsome.

Hu Xinxin, who was a junior in college at the time, naturally fell for him. Zhang Long was preoccupied with making money and had no interest in dating.

Hu Xinxin's unusual behavior was quickly noticed by her doting father, who thought his daughter had been bullied. So he had someone investigate and found out about Zhang Long.

It turned out that his daughter's love was unrequited, a discovery that infuriated Mr. Hu.

Later, it was discovered that this person was quite interesting. Usually, poor people who suddenly become rich have a strong desire to consume and can't control themselves from buying things. But this young man had no such thoughts at all. As soon as he had money, he invested it in the real estate market and bought shops.

At the beginning of last year, I started a fruit company, but the results were mediocre. Unexpectedly, I changed my strategy at the end of the year and suddenly it took off.

This made Mr. Hu even more interested. His daughter liked this man, and he and his wife were satisfied, but he just couldn't understand. What should he do?

It wasn't that Zhang Long was slow to understand; it was just that he had too many concerns back then. He had just been reborn and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy himself yet, so how could he give up the whole forest for one tree?

So they had no choice but to make a strategic retreat, hiding in the Shenzhen area, hoping that time would make them forget everything.

At the same time, he wanted Hu Xinxin to calm down, but he didn't expect her to actually want to follow him to his company.

He returned to his seat and sighed.

It seems the good days are coming to an end soon; the last semester of my senior year will basically be an internship.

Kang asked curiously, "Ah Long, who was that just now?"

"Why are you sighing after finishing the phone call!"

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

"Hey, Kang, I'm fine. That person was an elder you might not know well. If I tell you his name, Jun might recognize him."

"Oh, who is it?"

"Tell me about it?"

"Do you think I know?"

When Jun Ge heard Zhang Long mention himself, he became interested.

"Hu Kaiyang!"

"Hu Kaiyang?"
