At 2 p.m., they finally set off. Mr. Tang, with tears in his eyes, saw them off for a long distance. The two siblings were quite happy at first, because they were going out to play. They were humming songs and dancing around, without any sadness about parting.
But once they left Pingjiang city, seeing the completely different scenery around them and the increasingly dark sky outside the car, the brother and sister panicked.
"Mom, isn't Grandpa coming with us?" Roubao asked worriedly.
She loves her maternal grandfather the most; she misses him if she doesn't see him for a day. According to her usual routine, her grandfather would pick her up from school, and then they would have dinner at his place. He would play with her, and her parents would pick her and her brother up in the evening. During summer vacation, she would stay at her grandfather's place. The restaurant there had lots of delicious food and was a lot of fun.
"Isn't Uncle coming either?" Meatball was also disappointed; he liked playing with his uncle.
Tang Yuanyuan's uncle is Yu Changbai, her half-brother. He was kidnapped by her older sister Yu Moli and had his fingers cut off. He was a very pitiful child. His biological father, Yu Wuwei, and biological mother, Tang Sumei, were both imprisoned. Yu Changbai was only eight years old at the time. Tang Yuanyuan and her father took him in and he stayed with the Tang family ever since.
This kid is quite clever and has excellent grades. He was admitted to FD University, one of the top universities in the country. With his score, he could have easily gone to Tsinghua or Peking University, but Yu Changbai was unwilling to go to Kyoto and chose the Department of Finance at FD University instead.
During his school years, he often came back to the store to help out and would also encourage impoverished students from the school to work and study at the store. These students worked very hard and were the future pillars of society. Mr. Tang paid them by the hour. The standard wage was six yuan per hour, but he paid seven yuan. He also specially instructed the chef to make oily dishes for these students, with lots of meat, oil, and vegetables. One meal could sustain them for a day.
Mr. Tang acted out of kindness and did not expect anything in return, but the students remembered it all. Everyone who was able to get into FD University was a talented person. Their poverty was only temporary. After graduation, these students became elites in various industries and secretly gave Mr. Tang a lot of help.
Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance on your own hands.
Mr. Tang didn't understand these principles; he just acted on his kind instincts. Although he would encounter bad people like Yu Wuwei and Tang Sumei, most of his customers were grateful and repaying kindness. That's why his Baiweiju restaurant became more and more prosperous. Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is the only way to make money!
After graduating, Yu Changbai started his own venture capital company with just a few employees. He rented a few rooms as offices and didn't have any factories or stores. But in just a few years, Yu Changbai became a billionaire.
The ten million yuan she borrowed from Tang Yuanyuan was long ago repaid, and she even made a considerable profit. Tang Yuanyuan had been worried about this for a long time. Ye Qingqing explained to her what venture capital was, and she was finally relieved. As long as she didn't break the law, everything would be fine. If she went bankrupt, she could just go home and work. It wasn't a big deal.
"My uncle and grandfather have to work and don't have time to spend with us," Tang Yuanyuan explained.
The brother and sister pouted; their excitement had worn off. Now they didn't want to go to their grandmother's anymore; they just wanted to go home to their grandfather and uncle's house.
Fortunately, the brother and sister only made a fuss for a while. After dinner, they went to sleep. The next day, they accepted reality and stopped making a fuss. They were not in good spirits and were listless. The next afternoon, they finally arrived at Tiedan's house.
Tie Dan's mother was waiting at the village entrance early in the morning. The whole family had come, along with other villagers. Dozens of people had gathered, making it a very grand occasion. Tie Dan was the most promising and capable person within a hundred miles, and everyone wanted to curry favor with him and get some credit.
