…
It was four in the morning, and it was still dark.
A-Kang arrived at Mu-Chen's house, drove Mu-Chen's big SUV, and the four of them set off.
Leaving the paved road and traversing the winding county road, the journey was bumpy, and it took two hours before the eastern sky finally began to brighten.
As the first rays of dawn appeared, the sky gradually turned red.
Along the way, Mu Chen, in the passenger seat, gazed at the swirling white mist in the mountains and the rows of stilted houses built against the mountainside. He marveled at this pristine landscape and thought to himself: After the millennium, this area will become more and more beautiful.
A-Kang, who was driving, noticed the cold sweat on Mu-Chen's forehead and tried his best to avoid areas with large potholes.
"Ah Chen, we'll be merging with the provincial highway in a few kilometers. The road conditions will be much better then. Just bear with it a little longer."
"It's okay, just focus on driving, don't worry about me."
Arui had already put two layers of fleece in the passenger seat, but the county road was too bad, and her brother was still in pain.
Ah Zhuang said angrily, "If it weren't for Mu Laosan and Mu Laoda beating you so badly back then, you wouldn't have all these old injuries."
Mu Chen did indeed have many old fractures, and ninety percent of these old injuries were inflicted by Mu Lao San and Mu Lao Da.
Hearing this, Arui felt very uncomfortable. She felt sorry for her brother and hated her father and third uncle.
"Alright, enough of this so early in the morning. Let's set off some cannons and have some fun when Boss Mu and Boss Mu get killed. Wouldn't that be awesome?"
"That's great, I like it this way."
Ah Zhuang was so happy that he started to imagine the scene. Anyway, they were starting to have money now. When the day Ah Chen mentioned came, they would definitely call a bunch of lads and use cannons to bombard him for three days and three nights to celebrate and shout: "Old Mu is dead!"
A-Kang, who was driving, glanced at A-Rui in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and then said to Mu-Chen, "A-Chen, old injuries are the most tormenting. After we get to the provincial capital, why don't we go to a big hospital to get an X-ray?"
"No need. The place where I was injured is exactly the same ribs that Mu Laoda and Mu Laosan broke a few years ago. The herbs that Grandma and the others gave me are quite effective. It won't be so serious in a few days."
A-Kang nodded, though he didn't say it aloud, he secretly thought that if he ever encountered Mu Laosan in the future, he would definitely find an excuse to break a few of his ribs to avenge A-Chen.
Once we got onto the provincial highway, the road surface was indeed much better.
A-Zhuang asked, "A-Chen, we don't know the way. If we get to the provincial capital, which is the largest city in our Qiancheng, we'll get lost. What should we do?"
"I know the way!"
Whether it was Azhuang, Arui, or Akang, who frequently traveled to and from the county town, it was their first time going to the provincial capital.
As they entered the city, A-Zhuang looked around at the buildings that were more than ten stories high, the roads that were much wider than those in the county town, and the number of cars that were much greater. He wished he had more eyes.
Arui was the same, but she wasn't as excited as Azhuang because she saw that her brother in the passenger seat was very calm.
As for Ah Kang, he was constantly on edge after entering the city, and almost collided with other vehicles several times.
However, many drivers recognized the value of their car and kept their distance well in advance, fearing that a collision would leave them bankrupt.
"Ah Chen, have we entered the city center?"
The prosperity around them far exceeded A-Kang and A-Zhuang's imagination.
In the bustling city, they found themselves in the car, but like headless flies, not knowing where to go.
"Turn left ahead, then turn right at the first traffic light. Remember, don't run a red light."
Mu Chen gave directions.
On the way into the city, he had already explained the rules of traffic lights to A-Kang.
Soon, guided by Mu Chen, they arrived at the city center of Lin City—the fountain. After finding a place to park, Mu Chen took them to have lunch first.
Inside the restaurant, A-Zhuang looked around and then whispered to Mu-Chen, "A-Chen, the food here is so expensive! I just calculated it, and the dishes we ordered cost more than forty yuan. In our county, this would only cost twenty yuan at most."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Keep your voice down. If others hear this, we'll really look like country bumpkins who've never seen the world."
Lunch was finished quickly.
When Mu Chen saw what A Rui was wearing, he pulled her into the clothing store next door without thinking and found several of the latest styles for her to try on. She changed from head to toe, and everything was brand new.
"Brother, this is the sixth set already."
Arui was shy and seemed a little uncomfortable with this outfit.
Little did she know how stunning she looked in this outfit, leaving all the shop assistants speechless.
Arui is tall with beautiful calves and slender arms. Paired with this youthful and fashionable outfit, she is simply a perfect girl.
Ah Kang at the door was completely mesmerized. He had fallen in love with Ah Rui the moment he saw her, and he never expected her to be even more beautiful now.
Ah Zhuang looked at his outfit and instantly felt incredibly unfashionable.
Mu Chen had A Rui turn around once, then said, "Just wear this outfit, don't change it!"
Then they asked the waiter to pack up the second and third sets they had just seen.
There are over six hundred in total.
As for Arui's previous clothes, Mu Chen simply threw them away.
Now, Arui felt a little sorry for him. She followed Mu Chen, being pulled by the prince, and became even more shy under the surprised gazes directed at her.
But more than anything, it felt cramped.
She dared not let go of her brother's hand, for fear of getting lost in the crowd.
"Ah Chen, it's already twelve o'clock! Where are we going?" Ah Zhuang asked.
Mu Chen said, "Isn't A-Kang here to sign a contract with an investment company? Let's go straight there. I also happen to have something to do."
"Tangtang Investment Company?"
A-Zhuang became interested, but Mu-Chen told him not to talk nonsense when he got to the company, especially about his affairs.
Ah Zhuang nodded emphatically.
Mu Chen felt a different kind of emotion as he went to his own company.
Although he had reviewed all the materials since the establishment of Tangtang Investment Company, it was still not as good as seeing it with his own eyes.
The company is located in one of the few high-rise buildings with elevators, some over ten stories high, in the city center.
World Trade Center.
It's actually just a building with less than twenty floors, but in this day and age, its location in the city center, with its elegant environment and convenient transportation, is indeed the best in Lincheng.
Mu Chen and the others entered the elevator. Both A Kang and A Zhuang were clearly a little scared and didn't know how to operate it.
Arui clung tightly to Mu Chen's arm.
"Don't be afraid, everything will be alright!"
Mu Chen pressed the number 12, the elevator doors closed, and it started moving.
Mu Chen's every move shocked A Kang and A Zhuang once again. At this moment, they realized that they knew nothing and were incredibly ignorant.
bite--
The door opened.
A-Zhuang and A-Kang looked around, while A-Rui was also full of surprise. The three of them were both unfamiliar with and curious about everything in front of them.
Who are you looking for?
As soon as I entered the gates of Tangtang Capital, the receptionist got up lazily and looked very arrogant when I asked her questions.
