After a pause, Wang Shuiqin asked sarcastically, "The Chen sisters own a conglomerate that includes not only Fanghua Clothing Company, but also real estate, tourism, entertainment, and investment companies."
Mother, how do you expect me to compare to them?
Li Juan wondered if she was hallucinating. Her eyes widened like saucers, her face filled with disbelief.
"...Impossible! You're lying to me! Shuiqin, you must be lying to me. How could those girls from the Chen family be like that?"
Wang Shuiqin's affirmative tone broke Li Juan's disbelief, "Hehehe, Mother, you've always compared yourself to Aunt Li from the Chen family."
Comparing jobs, having sons, having daughters, now, what else do you want to compare?
In our Wang family, whether you're the eldest brother or the youngest, who has the ability to set up a conglomerate with assets worth hundreds of millions for you?
Li Juan slumped into a chair in a daze, her eyes lifeless, as if she had lost all her energy.
The rest of the Wang family, including Wang's father Wang Dayou, Wang's elder brother, and Wang Xiaoqiang, were all astonished.
It turns out that the Chen family next door is no longer what it used to be!
This morning, the 5th, Chen Xihua, Chen Xiuhua, and Ning Wenfeng drove away from Gaoyang County.
The news had spread throughout the entire residential area that the Fanghua Garment Factory, located in the northwestern suburbs of the county, was actually owned by Chen Lao Er's family, Chen Xiao Wu.
Previously, when Chen Lao Er and Li Yu Mei boasted that their daughter owned a group company, the people in the family residential area were always skeptical.
This time, the news came from the Wang family. The Wang family has a daughter named Wang Shuiqin who is the workshop director at Fanghua Garment Factory, so it must be true!
When Chen Lao Er and his wife, along with Chen Baohua and his family of three, returned to the residential area from their new house, they were immediately surrounded by people from the residential area.
The men approached Chen Lao Er, pretending to be friendly, putting their arms around his shoulders, saying, "Chen Lao Er, you're quite something, you've kept it a secret for a long time."
Fanghua Garment Factory is such a big company, why do you need to open a pastry shop? You can just lie around and have endless money to spend.
"Now that you're a big boss, could you arrange for me to work as a gatekeeper at your factory, or maybe manage the warehouse?"
The older women and aunties held Li Yumei's hands and said warmly, "Yumei, you are so lucky. All five of your daughters have been admitted to university."
Now your youngest daughter has started such a big company for your family. I always thought your fifth son, Chen Xihua, was capable and destined for great things!
I heard your factory is still hiring sewing workers, and they're short-staffed. Look at me, even though I'm not as young as I used to be, I'm still the best at operating a sewing machine..."
Chen Baohua realized he was in trouble. His parents didn't know anything yet. He was worried he might slip up or say something wrong!
Wouldn't that just make us a laughingstock in front of outsiders?
They said that the sisters didn't even tell their parents that the Fanghua Garment Factory belonged to their family.
"Uncles, aunts, and uncles."
My fifth sister's factory is hiring, and there's a recruitment process. My sisters don't want my parents to work hard, so they never bother them with these things.
As he spoke, Chen Baohua took one of his parents by the hand and led them home.
He was a big, strong young man. Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, Chen Lao Er and his wife managed to slip out of the crowd and then quickly jogged home.
Just now, Chen Lao Er and Li Yu Mei were indeed completely bewildered. They knew that Xiao Wu owned a group company, but they didn't know what it did!
As soon as they got home and closed the door, Chen Lao Er and Li Yumei couldn't wait to start 'interrogating' Chen Baohua.
Well, that brat Xiao Wu, her company is right near her home, and she didn't even tell them. That's so unfair!
Chen Lao Er thought to himself: Humph, without a couple thousand or even thirty or fifty thousand in pocket money, I can't soothe his wounded heart.
Li Yumei said: This is outrageous! My daughters are really going to cause trouble. I'm only keeping it from them. As parents, we're just trying to keep them from being thieves!
Meanwhile, on the national highway from Gaoyang County to the provincial capital, just as we were about to leave Jiang City, the next section of the road became quite steep.
Between two mountains, the national highway runs halfway up the mountainside. People with a fear of heights will tremble when they look out of the car!
"Fourth Sister, stop up ahead, I'll drive!"
Ning Wenfeng suggested, "How about I drive?"
"No need, Ning, you've never driven on a road like this before!"
When we returned to Jiangshi from Yunshi, we took the coastal road, which was flatter.
"Gaoyang County has many high mountains, and the roads leading to Yunshi are also mostly mountainous."
Not only Chen Xiuhua, but even Ning Wenfeng and Chen Xihua didn't trust them to drive this stretch of road.
She herself was alright. In her previous life, she had raced cars, although it was just a hobby to look cool. Even though it wasn't the kind of racing, her driving skills were still pretty good.
Chen Xiuhua readily agreed: "Okay, Xiao Wu, you do it!"
Soon, the car stopped, and Chen Xihua and Chen Xiuhua switched places and set off again!
After driving for a few more minutes, Chen Xihua slowed down by one gear.
At this moment, Chen Xihua slowed down, and the cars behind him slowly caught up, with a large truck following closely behind.
After driving for another five minutes on the winding road, there was a narrow and sharp bend about ten meters ahead.
Out of habit, whenever someone is behind her, Chen Xihua will subconsciously pay attention and glance at the rearview mirror from time to time.
She noticed that the large truck following behind their car was moving too fast and was tailgating them too closely.
She had a bad feeling, and her heart was pounding.
Because the road is not straight and has some curves, she can see the truck driver's situation through the rearview mirror.
Suddenly, the driver's gaze turned in their direction, and he suddenly became resolute in the face of death.
Oh no, danger! There's a sharp turn ahead!
Chen Xihua shifted gears and accelerated, saying urgently, "Fourth Sister, sit tight and hold on!"
"Ah..." Inside the car, Chen Xiuhua's entire upper body slammed against the car window.
Ning Wenfeng, too, noticed something amiss with the car behind them. "Xiao Wu, watch out!"
At this moment, the truck behind also accelerated.
A series of accelerating roars rang out, a sound that, while initially exhilarating, made Chen Xihua and the other two in the car feel the oppressive force of impending death.
That person did it on purpose, it wasn't an accident. She couldn't panic; she needed to calm herself down immediately.
The Santana wasn't a dedicated racing car, so its performance was somewhat lacking, but Chen Xihua had no choice but to give it a shot.
She had to accelerate on the curve, otherwise they would be hit by the truck behind them and fall off the cliff.
If it really falls in, there won't be a trace left!
She controlled the clutch with her left foot and slammed on the accelerator with her right, and the Santana shot forward instantly, reaching the bend in a flash.
The speed reached 140 km/h, then the accelerator was released suddenly, the brakes were applied sharply, and the car turned.
With a screeching sound of tires rubbing against the ground, Santana managed to escape unscathed.
The large truck behind followed closely, crashing wildly into the bend.
The driver noticed that the car in front of him had sped up and turned to escape. He tried to brake and turn again, but it was too late.
The truck was already heavy and fast. When it braked, the entire front of the truck plunged straight down the cliff, leaving only the rear half of the truck bed on the road.
