Returning to 1990: I Rely on Entrepreneurship to Get Rich

Renowned economist Ma Yunfei is reborn to the year 1990. To his surprise, he finds himself with a beautiful wife and an obedient daughter. He vows to become the world's richest man and create a...

Chapter 202 Demotion

Xia Jiu sighed and said, "Daughter, don't worry, Dad will find you another boyfriend, this time you'll be satisfied."

"Dad, don't worry about me. From now on, I'll take care of my own personal matters."

“Daughter, you work at the company all day and don’t meet any people outside. Where are you going to find a boyfriend? Dad has many friends outside. I’ll ask someone to introduce you to a good one.”

"Dad, look at you, first you introduced me to a bookworm, then you introduced me to an illegitimate child, one worse than the other, let's just forget about it."

“Honey, I’ll introduce you to another one. If that doesn’t work out either, then I’m not going to support you anymore.”

Summer thought to herself: Even if you introduce me to a hundred more, I'll ruin them all.

She was very grateful to Ma Yunfei for giving her two good ideas, which helped her turn down two blind dates.

The next day, as soon as Xia Tian got up, she suddenly missed Ma Yunfei, so she called the Qinglong Town Post Office and asked them to call Ma Yunfei to answer the phone.

When the post office staff arrived at the sales outlet, Chen Yuyan said, "My husband went out on business."

At this time, Ma Yunfei had just returned to Qinglong Town. He first went to the Baixing Restaurant to find out about the situation in the town.

The Baixing Restaurant is bustling with customers and is very well-informed.

The young widow greeted him, "Little brother, you're back."

"Sister Meng, there hasn't been any news from Qinglong Town these past two days, has there?"

The young widow whispered, "Little brother, the town has been in an uproar these past two days. I heard that Gu Le has been transferred to another town as deputy mayor, a demotion of half a rank. His family is packing their bags and preparing to move. Also, I heard that Li Sha and Er Lv officially broke up. Er Lv couldn't understand it and attempted suicide by cutting his wrists. He was in the town hospital and hasn't been discharged yet."

Ma Yunfei asked in surprise, "Erlu actually committed suicide? It's probably just a fake suicide."

"Young man, I heard that he cut his wrist with a knife. The wound was very deep, and the blood filled half a basin. He almost lost his life."

Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "To risk one's life for a woman, that's just too pathetic."

The young widow, with a solemn expression, said, "Little brother, I used to look down on Erlu, but after hearing that he committed suicide because of love, I have a slightly better impression of him. I think Erlu is a devoted person."

Ma Yunfei dismissed the idea, mocking, "I don't believe Erlv really committed suicide. Maybe he was trying to create a false sense of justice, but he accidentally went too far."

"No way?"

“Sister Meng, based on my understanding of Erlv, he is not that infatuated. Besides, Erlv is very afraid of death.”

The young widow sighed and said, "If it was a fake suicide, it almost became real. If he had really died, Erlu probably wouldn't be able to close his eyes in peace. Little brother, no matter what, Erlu is your brother. You have to go see him, even if it's just to make it look like it."

Ma Yunfei nodded.

The young widow brought over a bowl of porridge and three vegetable buns.

Ma Yunfei ate breakfast in a hurry. He didn't go to the health center, but went to Gu Le's house instead.

Gu Le and Liu Fei were packing their luggage, both of them sweating profusely.

Ma Yunfei quickly said, "Godfather, Godmother, you two take a rest. I'll go and call a few people to help pack your luggage."

Liu Fei pursed her lips and said, "Son, you're the one who cares about us the most. Your godfather was dismissed from his post and demoted to a deputy mayor in another place. As soon as the news came out, all those people who used to fawn over him disappeared. I went to the town government to find a few people to help me, but one said he was busy, another said he had something to do, and not a single person was willing to help."

Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "Mom, this is normal. As the saying goes, 'The world is cold and indifferent,' which is exactly the point."

"Son, haven't you heard that your godfather has been demoted to the position of deputy mayor of another town?"

“I just got back early this morning. I heard about it as soon as I arrived in Qinglong Town, so I rushed over immediately.”

“Son, your godfather can no longer help you. To you, we are of no value anymore.”

"Mom, how can you say that? Over the past three months, you and Godfather have taken such good care of me and shown me such tenderness. I will never forget your kindness."

"My son, you are such a good person."

Gu Le stared at Ma Yunfei with a sinister look and said, "Little Ma, I had a plan to arrange a job for you, but it's too late now. Once I leave, I can't keep my word."

"Godfather, I am very grateful for your kind intentions. I am content and thankful."

Ma Yunfei ran to the sales station, called two migrant workers, and helped Gu Lejia pack his luggage.

Chen Yuyan also arrived and helped Liu Fei pack some of her belongings.

After a busy day, I finally finished tidying up by evening.

Ma Yunfei asked, "Godfather, when are you planning to take up your new post?"

"Now that everything is packed, we'll leave tomorrow morning. I need to go and get a car."

"Godfather, don't worry about the car. I'll take care of everything."

Ma Yunfei knew very well that people these days were easily swayed, and since Gu Le had already stepped down from the stage, no one wanted to pay attention to him anymore.

But Ma Yunfei was different. Ma Yunfei paid the transport team leader a salary, and as long as he gave the order, the truck would arrive immediately.

Ma Yunfei went to the transport team, but didn't mention Gu Le's move. He just said that they needed to haul some things to a nearby town.

The transport team leader immediately dispatched a vehicle.

The next morning, Ma Yunfei arrived at Gu Le's house in his car.

He then called over several migrant workers, who quickly loaded the items onto the truck.

Ma Yunfei said, "Godfather, Godmother, I'll take you to your new post, and then I'll come back with you in the car."

Gu Le was very moved. He held Ma Yunfei's hand tightly and said apologetically, "Little Ma, if I had known you were so loyal to me, I should have sought more benefits for you."

Liu Fei said apologetically, "Xiao Ma, thinking about the past, I have wronged you in many ways. It was all because of my nephew Er Lv who spread rumors in front of me, causing you a lot of grievances. I didn't expect you to not blame me at all."

Last night, Chen Yuyan told Ma Yunfei that there were already four million in her savings account.

All this money came from the yam business.

If it weren't for Gu Le and Liu Fei, he wouldn't have earned his first pot of gold.

Regardless, Ma Yunfei should thank Gu Le and Liu Fei.

The town where Gu Le served as deputy mayor is more than 100 kilometers away from Qinglong Town, a two-hour drive away.

Poor Gu Le arrived in this town and there was still no house arranged for him. He could only unload his luggage in a warehouse of the town government.

The couple are temporarily staying at the town's guesthouse.

Ma Yunfei heard that there were already three deputy mayors in this town, and Gu Le was ranked fourth. His position was too low. No wonder people didn't treat him well and didn't take him seriously at all.
