Chapter 95

After chatting with Lin Bei for a while, Hu Zhenzhen felt a sense of familiarity.

But she was certain she didn't know this Lin before, and didn't know where this sense of familiarity came from.

However, Hu Zhenzhen soon stopped thinking about these things.

They finally managed to escape from the party and made it out successfully.

Hu Zhenzhen's trip was quite fruitful; not to mention anything else, she obtained the contact information of more than a dozen wealthy businessmen from the United States.

This became Hu Zhenzhen's first step in starting a business in Country M.

On the second day after the party, people started contacting her one after another, and some business opportunities that Hu Zhenzhen had never thought of came her way.

“No, Martin, you know, guns are controlled items where I'm from, I can't do that kind of business.”

Hu Zhenzhen politely declined Martin's invitation.

Looking at the row of guns on the table, her eyelids twitched violently, and she became somewhat worried about the safety of operating a movie theater here.

After all, this is a 'free and legal' place, where even robbery is considered a minor case.

Hu Zhenzhen smiled at Martin, who looked regretful, and said, "It seems I need to replace the bulletproof glass."

Martin knew she wasn't familiar with the situation here, so he joked back, "Then you'll have to replace all the windows in the house with bulletproof ones. One window alone won't block anything."

Although this was a joke, it also indirectly illustrates the environment here.

Hu Zhenzhen chuckled twice and quietly moved her plane ticket forward by one night.

She felt that the idea of ​​operating a cinema chain in the US probably needed more detailed planning.

Otherwise, if there's a robbery or vandalism, constant repairs will be a huge expense.

Thomas was a little reluctant to see her leave so suddenly.

"You must come to F country in a while, Hu, then we can discuss the cinema issue properly."

"Definitely," Hu Zhenzhen replied with a smile.

She hadn't been home for several days and was eager to return.

She posted on Weibo before boarding the plane, and when she got off the plane, she was surprised to see several young girls holding signs to pick her up at the airport.

This was the first time Hu Zhenzhen had encountered something like this, and she was stunned for a moment.

Chen Kai went to get her luggage, and Hu Zhenzhen took a photo with the little girls who came to pick her up, and bought each of them a cup of milk tea.

"Thank you everyone, but I'm not a celebrity, so please don't let me interfere with your own plans to come and greet me at the airport."

Hu Zhenzhen is very clear-headed.

While being fawned over can satisfy one's vanity, this behavior is actually quite unpleasant for fans coming to the airport.

Not only will it waste their time, but it will also cost them travel expenses.

If some of them come from out of town, this can be a considerable expense.

To prevent such a trend of insisting on picking people up at the airport from the future, Hu Zhenzhen took precautions and gave everyone a word of advice in advance.

Not only that, after Chen Kai returned, she specially asked him to call an extra driver from home to safely take all the girls home.

Only after everyone had left did Hu Zhenzhen feel relieved enough to get into her car.

As soon as the car door opened, Jiang Chen rushed over and gave Hu Zhenzhen a big hug. Only then did she realize that Xiao Chen had come to pick her up with the driver, and she smiled with delight.

"Xiao Chen! Mom misses you so much."

Jiang Chen is the person closest to Hu Zhenzhen in this world.

Xiao Chen has been by her side since she was born.

Even when Hu Zhenzhen is away on a business trip, she is only away from home for a few days. The mother and son have never been separated for a week.

It wasn't just Xiao Chen who missed her; she missed Xiao Chen too.

When she got home, Hu Zhenzhen discovered something even more surprising.

The gold ring that the gold-hunting rat found has found its owner.

When Jiang Chen told her about this, Hu Zhenzhen was still somewhat incredulous.

She had thought that all the things Jijizi had found were unclaimed, but it seems that some of them were things that someone else had lost.

"What happened? Can you tell me, Xiao Chen?"

Hu Zhenzhen was so curious about this that she sat on the sofa without even changing her clothes and listened to Xiao Chen talk about what had happened in the past few days.

“A few days ago, the old lady who broke her leg in the mall was discharged from the hospital and came to my house to thank me.”

Hu Zhenzhen wasn't home, so Jiang Chen received the grandmother alone that day.

“Her son brought her here. Since you weren’t home, Mom, I invited her in for a while.”

Jiang Chen usually acts like a little adult, so he had no problem receiving this elderly lady who came to express her gratitude all by himself.

Moreover, with Liu An and the others at home, Hu Zhenzhen felt very reassured.

"After Grandma came into the house, she told a lot of stories about her and her husband."

"She said they were childhood sweethearts, and everything went smoothly and lovingly from their marriage to the birth of their child. However, the grandfather's health was not good, and he passed away a few years before her."

"My son works abroad year-round. The only things that keep his grandmother company are the little dog she and her boss raise together and their wedding rings."

Jiang Chen took out the small box from which Hu Zhenzhen had collected the items that the Golden Rat had found.

“She said her ring was gold with a rose on it, and that reminded me of the ring my mother had mentioned.”

Jiang Chen felt uneasy after giving away the things Hu Zhenzhen had carefully kept to someone else.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I returned the ring to her without even saying goodbye."

“It’s alright,” Hu Zhenzhen said, closing the lid. “That was originally her ring, and now it’s back to its rightful owner. That’s a good thing.”

Hearing Hu Zhenzhen's words, Jiang Chen finally felt relieved.

"Mom, that grandma left you a letter, I'll go get it for you!"

Jiang Chen laughed and ran upstairs. A moment later, he returned with a letter.

The letter was written here by that grandmother; she folded it a few times and left it here.

Before handing it to Hu Zhenzhen, Jiang Chen had suppressed his curiosity and never opened it to look at it.

Hu Zhenzhen opened it, and he sat down next to her before he could see what was written inside.

He has already learned all the basic characters; only the rarer ones are still unfamiliar.

The old lady's handwriting was a bit messy, but Jiang Chen could still understand it. The moment he saw the contents of the letter, his face flushed.

"Xiao Chen, do you want to watch it together?"

Hu Zhenzhen's lips curled up high, "Grandma praised you a lot."

Jiang Chen's face had turned as red as a monkey's bottom in that short time.

Hu Zhenzhen deliberately teased her child by placing the letter in front of him.

"Or should Mom read it to you?"

The teasing went a bit too far, and Jiang Chen suddenly jumped up from the sofa, hurriedly made an excuse, and ran back to his room.

"Mom, I just remembered I haven't done my homework yet. I'm going to go to my room to do it!"

Jiang Chen ran very fast, and before Hu Zhenzhen could stop him, he had already run into the house.

"They run way too fast."

Hu Zhenzhen chuckled twice and continued reading the letter of praise.

The grandmother seemed to like Jiang Chen very much, and her words always revealed her appreciation and affection for him.

No wonder she used an entire sheet of paper to praise Xiao Chen.

After Jiang Chen returned the ring to her, the old lady's gratitude reached its peak.

Before coming here to express her gratitude, the old lady had already inquired about Jiang Chen's family situation.

When the old lady learned that he was living with his stepmother after his father remarried, she was worried about him.

She was relieved after hearing what kind of person Hu Zhenzhen was.

Even so, she still wrote many good things about Jiang Chen on this piece of paper, instructing Hu Zhenzhen to treat him well.

My grandmother would feel terrible if such a good child was scolded for returning the ring.

For this simple reason, she left Hu Zhenzhen such a long letter.

At the end of the letter, she mentioned something that Hu Zhenzhen had never heard of.

Her name has already appeared on the list of the richest people in the world.

Both domestically and internationally, there are specialized ranking companies that do this kind of work.

However, Hu Zhenzhen has never appeared in public and mostly operates within China, so she has never attracted the attention of the ranking companies.

Coupled with the rumors of a five-generation tycoon, everyone assumed that Hu Zhenzhen was already incredibly wealthy and that she was a tycoon even without the companies she later founded.

However, without actual companies to measure against, it's difficult to include Hu Zhenzhen in the rankings.

Only now, with both Baihua Ranch and Jianghu Film and Television on the right track, and Hu Zhenzhen's personal wealth exceeding 10 billion in the eyes of the world, has she truly made the list.

The list was only released a few days ago.

The Baifu Rich List is considered a relatively accurate ranking in China, but it is not very popular and people don't usually pay much attention to it.

Hu Zhenzhen had only just gotten off the plane and hadn't looked at the documents or her work, so naturally she didn't know about this matter.

She opened Weibo and discovered that a fan had told her about this in a private message a few days ago.

[Sister Hu, Sister Hu! You're on the list!]

People in the comments section are also talking about this.

However, other netizens did not seem very surprised.

[She only just got on the list? I thought Sister Hu was a regular on the leaderboard.]

Wait a minute, Sister Hu is in third place. Who are the first two?

I don't believe it. You try having Sister Hu add up all her assets.

[What's so surprising about this? Did you only find out today that Sister Hu is rich?]

[Haha, yeah, we can be surprised when Sister Hu builds a rocket someday.]

Hu Zhenzhen found herself increasingly both amused and exasperated as she read on.

How come the people under her Weibo posts are even more unfazed than she is?

However, she has already received the rewards for the fourth stage of the system's main quest.

Whether or not she makes it onto the rich list is no longer important to Hu Zhenzhen.

At most, it's a fleeting moment of surprise.

"Chen Kai, put this letter away and place it in my study."

Hu Zhenzhen called out to him, but found that the butler who had been guarding her was nowhere to be found.

"Chen Kai?"

Hu Zhenzhen called out twice more before she received a response.

"Wait a minute, boss!"

When Chen Kai appeared in front of her, he looked a little disheveled.

"Excuse me, boss, I had to go out to deal with an emergency."

He had a gray shoe print on his chest, which looked like he had just been in a fight.

"What happened?"

Hu Zhenzhen asked with concern, "Do you need Dr. Zhou to take a look at you?"

"It's nothing," Chen Kai waved his hand. "Some random person came in and tried to force his way into the villa, but we've already subdued him. Don't worry, boss."

Hu Zhenzhen then realized what had happened.

She was inside the house, but she didn't hear a sound at all.

Looking out the window, it's quite lively outside.

Her drivers and bodyguards all stepped in at this point, and the six of them held down different parts of the man before they were able to subdue him.

Several burly men were pressing down on the person, and Hu Zhenzhen was worried that they would cause an accident.

She has good eyesight and even spotted a sword wrapped in cloth on the ground nearby.

I don't know if the sword is real or fake. It was wrapped in a gray cloth and looked like a heavy sword that you would only see in a martial arts drama.

Hu Zhenzhen's eyelids twitched.

She seems to have some kind of sword-forging room.
