The hotel we had dinner at was chosen by my fourth uncle. It was the best hotel in the whole town.
Chen Xiao answered two calls in front of him, but when he turned around and was about to go back, he ran into Uncle Xiao who was holding the phone and cursing at the door of the hotel.
Chen Xiao hesitated and waited for a while. After Uncle Xiao finished his call, he walked over.
Seeing Chen Xiao, Uncle Xiao was stunned, his expression was a little embarrassed.
"Uncle, who are you calling?" Chen asked with a smile.
Uncle K's face looked a little ugly.
"Who else could it be?"
"This little girl, she said your cousin is here and asked her to come over for dinner, but she refused to obey."
"This girl's temper has become wild. I really regret it now. I should have firmly opposed her and her mother's involvement in that pyramid scheme."
"Now, not only have I lost all my family's money, but I've also ruined my life."
Chen 꼎 took a look inside the hotel.
"The food might not be ready yet, let's smoke a cigarette together."
Uncle 꺘 took the cigarette and asked with a smile, "Since you're pregnant, you usually don't dare to smoke, right?"
Chen nodded.
"I don't smoke anymore at home."
Uncle 꺘 nodded and sighed, "Just quit if you can. It's not good for your health."
"But for a big boss like you, imposing martial law isn't that easy. If you don't smoke when attending various events, you'll hardly fit in."
Chen smiled, he didn't mind this.
With his current status, few people can force him to smoke.
He only lights one when he's thinking about something.
"Uncle, don't be too anxious. Chen Wan is still young. She might grow up by herself in the future."
"She's still young. People her age are already looking for husbands."
"This child is just ignorant."
"Little one, you have to be considerate of your uncle about what I told you before."
Chen nodded. "Don't worry. I'll investigate the situation first, and then have a good chat with my cousin."
"Then thank you, uncle."
Chen 꼎 put out his cigarette.
"Okay, let's go in and eat."
…
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen drove his parents back to his hometown to visit the graves of his grandparents in the countryside.
To be honest, Chen Xiaoxiao hasn't been back to this place for several years since he moved his parents out of the village for the first time.
Looking at the familiar village, Chen felt some emotion.
After so many years, these small mountain villages seemed to have been forgotten by the world, without any change.
There are almost no shortcuts for young people in small mountain villages to go out.
And Chen Xiao, for example, seems to have become the idol and goal of all young people in the town.
After returning from the grave, the secret guards who were sent out to investigate came back.
The other party found the location of my cousin Chen Wan and also brought some news.
Chen 꼎 listened silently, nodded, and the secret guard left.
His face looked a little ugly. This little cousin of his was even more unreasonable than he had thought.
No wonder Uncle 꺘 was so angry.
But will it really be effective if I talk to the other person directly?
Even my parents can't do anything about it, so what can I, as his cousin, do?
Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
On this day at the beginning of the year, Chen attended the city's entrepreneurs' group meeting as scheduled.
As soon as he entered, the originally noisy venue became quiet in an instant.
The next second, a large group of people stood up.
These people are basically small bosses from the city, and the gap between them and Chen is too big.
Originally, many people were reluctant to come.
Holding meetings every year and discussing experiences every year is actually meaningless.
But when I heard that Chen was determined to show up, that's why so many people showed up.
Even many bosses specifically canceled their original schedules just to come and meet Chen 꼎.
Of course, it would be even better if we could establish a relationship and have some business cooperation.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
"Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm from Luocheng. I own a pig farm. We are actually fellow villagers."
"Hello, Mr. Chen. I've heard a lot about you. I'm glad to finally meet you in person today."
Chen smiled and shook hands with everyone. It took him almost half an hour just to greet everyone.
The city leader nearby was not angry, but waited with a smile on his face.
After the greetings were finally over, everyone took their seats again.
After a while, the mayor, who was in charge of the city's economy, came in and everyone stood up and applauded.
"Sit down, everyone. Don't be so polite. You are the real protagonists today."
Chen Xiao had met Mayor Tang once before.
When discussing the cooperation in establishing a logistics center, Chen had a good impression of the other party.
After Mayor Tang took his seat, he did not give any long speech. Instead, he said a few polite words with a smile and then got straight to the point.
"Everyone is familiar with this kind of symposium, so let's get straight to the point."
"The reason we invite everyone here is to allow some of our local entrepreneurs and bosses to sit together and get closer to each other."
"Secondly, the city hopes to learn from you all. You are all business people and have your own unique perspectives on business development."
"So, everyone can talk about your ideas for the future development of Qingping City."
"It's a symposium, a symposium, anyone can speak freely."
"Of course, you are all bosses and entrepreneurs. I hope that you can not only offer advice and suggestions for the future development of Qingping City, but also contribute to it..."
"Okay, that's all I have to say. I'll leave the field to you all."
After Mayor Tang finished speaking, the scene fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Finally, everyone's eyes turned to Chen 꼎.
After all, Chen 꼎 is the most famous person at the scene.
Mayor Tang looked at Chen Xiao and said, "Mr. Chen, how about you start by saying a few words?"
Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "Mayor Tang, this is my first time attending a symposium like this. I don't know much about the relevant situation."
"How about this, let everyone speak first, and then I'll listen for a while and think about it carefully. What do you think?"
Mayor Tang smiled and nodded.
"Of course."
Mayor Tang then looked around the scene and named an acquaintance.
"Mr. Sun, why don't you speak first?"
Mr. Sun, who was named, was a fat man. He was not at all stage-frightened and started talking with a smile.
"Since Mayor Tang mentioned me, I'll say a few words first. I hope you'll forgive me if I'm not very good at it."
"As everyone knows, I, Old Sun, am in the tile business."
"In the past two years, the national real estate market has been booming, so the tiles produced by our factory have sold quite well."
"It's just that we're not a famous brand. Compared to some big domestic brands, we're still quite a bit behind."
"Here's what I think. Can our city think of a way to promote our own local brand more?"
"After all, if our companies grow and develop, they can attract more local labor and solve the employment problem."
Chen Xiao wanted to laugh after hearing this.
Mr. Sun is also a wonderful person.
It seems like he is making suggestions, but in fact he is asking for benefits for himself in a roundabout way.
