With these things in mind, Huo Zhekun felt more confident.
Although somewhat resentful, one has to admit that the student has surpassed the teacher.
But I'm mostly relieved, thankfully it's his son.
"Yes!" Huo Zhekun nodded. "You wrote it very thoroughly, even including the types of enterprises to be attracted for investment. It's very comprehensive and has been a great help to me. I believe that as long as I put my heart into it, I will definitely achieve excellent results."
“Yes, Father, so go for it.” Huo Yingjie encouraged him. If you can’t succeed after making such thorough preparations, then it can only mean that you lack the ability!
Without ability and political awareness, even if it is forced into place, it will be like a house with an unstable foundation; the higher the house, the faster it will collapse.
While Huo Zhekun anxiously awaited the policies and documents, Huo Yingjie was busy with his studies.
While busy with her studies, taking care of her child, and also thinking about her braised meat business, He Tiantian was fortunate to have Huo Yingjie's help, which made things proceed in an orderly manner.
As for the evenings, He Tiantian would secretly drag Huo Yingjie along to go swimming every few days, which was very enjoyable.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
By November, it was already autumn. The days were still warm, but the nights were very cold.
Something strange happened again.
He Tiantian was shivering from the cold at night, but when she went swimming, she found that the water was warmer than the shore.
He Tiantian was somewhat at a loss. The superpower left to her by the Snake King was truly bizarre; it was even worse than the space at her ankle! It could be used as a convenient travel case.
Swimming, aside from rescuing people in the water, seems to have no other use.
Sigh, it's not even worth mentioning.
At least a chicken rib is tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away. As for swimming skills, He Tiantian felt that it wouldn't be a pity to give them up. She could swim before, although her posture was not very standard or beautiful, but it was enough to keep her alive.
These things didn't bother He Tiantian for long, because she had more important things to do.
One afternoon in mid-November, Sun Shih-hao and Qian Shih-kun came together to visit He Tian-tian and Huo Ying-jie.
"Uncle Qian, Uncle Sun, please come in and sit down." He Tiantian said happily, "During the summer vacation, I went to Qijia Village and learned from Secretary Qi that you had returned to Nanshi. However, I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and I also have to go to school, so I couldn't visit you. Please forgive me."
Qian Shikun smiled and said, "We haven't been back for long either. Our house was old and dilapidated and needed repairs. Now that it's finally finished, we came over to sit for a while."
Qian Shikun is a seasoned veteran. He knows that by befriending He Tiantian, he can then befriend Huo Yingjie and Huo Zhekun.
In this way, if they encounter any difficulties in the southern part of the city, they can still find someone to help them.
There's an old saying that goes, "Holding a pig's head, you can't find a temple."
This statement vividly illustrates the importance of interpersonal relationships.
"Are there any difficulties? If so, just let me know, and I'll definitely help if I can," He Tiantian said with a smile, noting that both of them were capable.
Qian Shikun used to be involved in organized crime, but now that he's older, he probably won't go down that path again. As for Sun Sihao, his family used to own a trading company; he's quick-witted and knows how to do business.
Even if cooperation is not possible, it is always better to be on good terms than to be on bad terms.
“Over the years, in Qijia Village, we not only had enough to eat, but we also received some money at the end of the year. Before we came back, Secretary Qi gave us another sum of money, which we used to renovate our house. Since we didn’t have jobs, we started a small business,” Sun Sihao said. He added that he hadn’t come before because he didn’t want to come empty-handed.
Although they have lived a comfortable life in Qijia Village over the years, it has not diminished their pride.
"Doing business?" He Tiantian asked in surprise, "What kind of business do you do?"
If possible, we could cooperate with them!
These two people are of good character and very capable.
“Although things are much more relaxed now than before, without any official documents, we’re still operating in secret,” Sun Sihao said. However, he had a feeling that business restrictions wouldn’t be as severe as before.
"Hehe, look at all the shops on the street, don't be afraid," He Tiantian encouraged. "Even if something happens, the law won't punish everyone, you can just quit."
“That’s what we thought too,” Sun Sihao said. “So we got two tricycles to collect eggs, vegetables, cabbages, radishes and the like from the surrounding rural areas and sell them in the county town. No tickets are needed, just cash, so business is pretty good.”
“This is indeed a good business. Although it’s hard work, it’s enough to support my family,” He Tiantian said. “Uncle Qian and Uncle Sun, don’t go back home at noon. Have lunch at my house. I also have some business to discuss with you two.”
Qian Shikun and Sun Sihao's eyes revealed surprise.
This trip was definitely the right one.
"Sweetie, tell us, what kind of business do you want to do?" Qian Shikun asked. He Tiantian's grandmother is a big shot abroad and has plenty of funds. This must be a big business, unlike their previous small-scale ventures.
Even if they make a small profit, it'll be better than their current little business!
At the same time, they saw hope in He Tiantian's attitude.
The Huo family is an official family, and the fact that their daughters-in-law all want to do business proves that doing business is no longer something that people are as ashamed of as before.
"You'll find out by noon," He Tiantian said. "But the timing isn't right yet; we'll have to wait a bit longer."
“Sure, we’re doing this small-scale business for now. If there’s ever a chance to do business together, just call us and we’ll do our best,” Qian Shikun said with a smile. They were over fifty, and they wanted to work for a few more years to earn some money for their retirement.
"Hehe, definitely, definitely," He Tiantian said with a smile.
Huo Yingjie brought in some meat and grain from outside and came over to greet the guests.
Huo Yingjie chatted with Sun Sihao and Qian Shikun, while He Tiantian went to cook.
There was braised pig's head in the refrigerator, so He Tiantian cut up a plate of it for lunch and also asked them about the feasibility of their business.
Sure enough, at lunchtime, Qian Shikun and Sun Sihao praised it highly.
"Sweetie, are you thinking of starting a braised meat business?" Sun Sihao guessed a bit after finishing his meal.
She was indeed shrewd; Sun Sihao had guessed it before she even said anything.
“Yes!” He Tiantian said, “The reason we’re not opening now isn’t because we’re afraid of having fewer customers, but because we’re afraid of not being able to supply raw materials. So we’re waiting to see if the policies are relaxed a bit more so that we can directly buy live pigs, chickens, and ducks from the countryside.”
“That’s true. Before liberation, it was easy to do. As long as you had money, you could buy them. Rural people would raise two or three more pigs and chickens and ducks to supplement their household income,” Sun Sihao said. Indeed, we can’t rush things. “However, I always feel that the previous situation will not last. Perhaps soon, the policy will be relaxed, and these things will no longer be a problem.”
