Time flies, and it's already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. In private room 201 of the Guangfu Restaurant, Chen Youfu and his family, along with Chen Ze and his wife, are having breakfast and chatting.
"Uncle Youfu, do you know what the main purpose of the chairman's invitation to this meeting is?"
"The meeting had two purposes. The first was to get successful members of the Chen clan to donate money to repair the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. Currently, many of the painted murals on the roof of the ancestral hall are weathered, and the wood carvings in the inner hall are aging. We need to invite a professional master of ancient architecture to repair them."
"Uncle Youfu, how often is this largest ancestral hall in Yuexiu District usually repaired?"
"They are all minorly repaired every five years and majorly repaired every ten years, otherwise how could they be preserved so well?"
"What is the second objective?" Chen Ze asked curiously.
"The second objective is that Chairman Chen Daming plans to establish a Chen Family Chamber of Commerce and invite capable members of the family to join, thereby achieving the goal of mutual support and assistance."
Chen Ze nodded. It's true that when many people work together to do something, the chances of success are much higher than when one person does it alone.
In later generations, almost every province established its own chamber of commerce, but the most united chambers of commerce were the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce and the Fujian Chamber of Commerce.
Especially among Fujianese businessmen, if any member of their chamber of commerce has a project but lacks funds, they only need to make a sound in the group chat, and someone will immediately lend a helping hand.
Once a Chaoshan person makes money in a country, you'll find that a large group of Chaoshan people will flock to the country soon. They believe in sharing both the good times and the bad.
Therefore, the power of unity is always the strongest power.
Just then, Chen Youfu's phone rang. After answering the call, he got up and hurriedly left with his wife, reminding Chen Ze to come over after they finished eating before leaving.
Chen Ze looked at Chen Hao: "Aren't you going over there?"
Chen Hao crossed his legs and leisurely ate his breakfast, mumbling, "My dad can go. I'm too lazy to join in the fun. My beauty is still waiting for me to pamper her in bed."
Chen Juan, who was standing nearby, advised, "Brother, you should play around with fewer women. Be careful, or you'll get into trouble one day."
Chen Hao said in a serious tone, "What do you know? I'm doing this to help our Chen family have more descendants. If you're so capable, then marry a son-in-law who will live with you. That way, your brother won't have to work so hard every day."
Chen Juan rolled her eyes at him: "Brother Ze, I'm full and I'm leaving first. You guys take your time eating."
"Um."
Not long after Chen Juan left, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a sexy woman with long, flowing hair and a curvaceous figure walked in. As she walked, her sexy hips swayed from side to side, which was incredibly alluring.
She walked up to Chen Hao, who immediately reminded her, "Call him Brother Ze and Sister-in-law."
The woman bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Brother Ze, hello, Sister-in-law, Happy New Year to you both."
Wang Siyu and Chen Ze nodded at the same time, took out two red envelopes from their pockets and handed them over.
"Let's have fun together."
After accepting the red envelope and thanking him, the woman sat down to have breakfast with Chen Hao.
"Aze, I'm full."
After seeing that Wang Siyu had finished eating, he got up and left.
The two drove to Zhongshan 7th Road and parked their car in a parking lot.
Then, we walked towards the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall.
When they arrived at the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, they saw a long queue forming at the entrance.
Chen Ze did not queue with them but went straight in because Chen Youfu told him to go to Juxiantang to find him after he arrived.
The people in line were very dissatisfied when they saw him enter without queuing.
Many people in the crowd criticized him.
Young people these days have no manners; they don't even know how to queue.
[Exactly! That beautiful woman must be blind to fall for such a shameless man.]
"Damn it, everyone is here to donate, why isn't he in line? It's like he's going to donate tens of millions."
[At his age, do you think he could have ten million? He doesn't even have a single valuable trinket on him; he's probably a pauper, with maybe a million or so at most in his family.]
When Chen Ze reached the second door, a bald man wearing a thick gold chain didn't treat him like the others did.
He shouted loudly, "Hey, young man, look, everyone's queuing up. Don't you think it's going too far to just cut in line like that?"
Chen Ze stopped and turned to look at the bald man: "Are you talking about me?"
"Who else would you say if not yourself? Everyone else was queuing up, and you two just swaggered in."
Chen Ze smiled faintly: "The vice president told me to go in directly. If you have any objections, you can go talk to him."
"Hmph, so what if you're the vice president? President Da Ming stipulates that only those who donate more than three million can cut in line. Even if you have some connection with the vice president, you still have to abide by the rules."
Chen Ze felt that this bald man was just looking for trouble. He wondered if it was because his wife wouldn't let him sleep in the bed last night, and he was holding in a lot of anger today.
He glared at the bald man: "Uncle, don't cause trouble. Anyway, I'll definitely donate more than you."
The bald man was displeased by the young man's glare. He looked Chen Ze up and down, noticing he had no valuables, and then said, "I'll donate 500,000. How much will you donate?"
As soon as the bald man spoke, many people immediately looked at Chen Ze to see how he would respond. If he donated less money than the bald man, he would definitely be bombarded with their criticism.
Chen Ze narrowed his eyes. Was this guy going to go against him?
"Uncle, you only have 500,000, I'll donate 1 million."
The bald man patted his chest and shouted, "I'll donate 1.5 million!"
"I will donate two million."
The bald man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll donate two and a half million."
