Chen Shichao was pleased by his wife and children's surprise. At that moment, he felt much less drunk and seemed to sober up.
The vehicle continued to move slowly, and Chen Shichao continued to chat with the two men.
"After three years of university and three years of studying hotel management, I finally understand what it means for knowledge to be power."
Getting into university really changed everything. Not only did I learn a lot of knowledge, but more importantly, I broadened my horizons. Do you know the general development direction of China's catering industry in the future?
After asking the two a question, Chen Shichao continued talking about how China's catering industry is rapidly developing towards aspects such as branding, diversification, internet integration, health, and experiential consumption.
His words were well-organized and supported by evidence, with professional terms flowing out one after another, and long passages were filled with his understanding and planning for future development.
It's said that the most charming men are those who are earnest and ambitious, and Chen Shichao was no exception. The charm that came with his intelligence made him very handsome, even drawing admiring glances from Liu Yue, who was listening nearby.
Finally, when Chen Shichao made the final decision, setting his future development direction as saving money, accumulating capital, upgrading industries, and exploring larger markets, Liu Yue responded with a smile.
"Shichao, whatever you do, I will support you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shichao was deeply moved and looked at Liu Yue with affection.
"Yueyue..."
"Cough cough."
Since they hadn't arrived home yet and there was still a third wheel in the car, Chen Shichao and Liu Yue couldn't continue their sweet nothings.
Seeing the occasional glances exchanged by her parents, Chen Bing silently turned her head to look out the car window.
Although Shangping County is just an inconspicuous little county on the North China Plain, it still has a population of over 700,000. At night, the commercial street is brightly lit, and pedestrians come and go.
Because it was during the National Day Golden Week holiday, Shangping County, which is known for its tourism industry, saw an increase in tourists.
The number of tourists has actually been relatively small in the past two years. I remember that the tourism industry in this small county will only see explosive growth after the pandemic.
During holidays, hotels throughout the county will be fully booked.
A hotel...
"In the future, let's not just focus on catering, but also add accommodation, leisure and entertainment, and concierge services, and develop it into a specialized hotel."
Upon hearing Chen Bing's words, Chen Shichao chuckled.
"That costs a lot of money, and your dad can't afford it in the short term. But maybe in another ten or twenty years..."
Oh, I see.
Chen Bing was silently pondering to himself. Although his family was already quite wealthy, and it seemed he no longer needed to get involved, how could he, as a son, not support his father, who possessed such a generous spirit?
After returning home that evening, while Liu Yue was taking a shower, Chen Bing called Chen Shichao to her room and showed him the small fortune she had made a year ago when Bitcoin's value was at its first peak...
...
Shang Zhengxin's career was progressing smoothly, and Chen Shichao was also beginning to make his mark in the business world. This was excellent, very good. It seemed that he too would soon be able to live the luxurious and extravagant life of a wealthy second-generation heir.
Nine-year-old Chen Bing, who is in the fourth grade of elementary school, sighed, "The rich life that is just around the corner is going to suffocate me."
"Chen Bing, you sighed again."
"Why did you say 'again'?" Chen Bing lowered the arm that was supporting her chin and turned to look at Shang Yunmiao, who was smiling at her.
"Why don't you say 'again'? Chen Bing, aren't you always sighing? If you keep sighing, then..."
"Happiness is about to slip away, isn't it? I remember the first time I heard you say that was when I was in kindergarten." Chen Bing picked up where Shang Yunmiao left off, and then asked, "Do I look like I'm unhappy?"
Brother Fu, I'm clearly all smiles, okay? My sigh is just me venting my excess happiness and generously sharing it with others, alright?
"If you didn't sigh, I think you would definitely be happier than you are now."
After Chen Bing interrupted her, Shang Yunmiao was quite unhappy and expressed her dissatisfaction by directly turning her head straight, her high ponytail flying and drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
But after thinking about it, she realized that it wouldn't be good to just throw a tantrum. Although she and Chen Bing were quite close, she didn't want to upset him, so she turned back to answer him.
Chen Bing was unaware of Shang Yunmiao's ulterior motives; she simply thought it looked quite pretty as her hair swayed back and forth.
"Can you shake your head again and show me?"
Shang Yunmiao: (′д｀ )…彡…彡
Chen Bing, whose face was slapped by the ponytail, smiled awkwardly, thinking that nine-year-old Shang Yunmiao was no longer as easy to fool as before, and no longer so obedient to her.
Along with her psychological growth, her appearance has also changed. A few days ago, when she measured her height at home, she was already 1.27 meters tall.
Although there is still an eleven-centimeter gap between her and Chen Bing's 1.38 meters, considering that girls enter puberty and develop earlier than boys, Chen Bing is slightly worried about whether she can still be taller than Shang Yunmiao in the next two or three years.
It would be too embarrassing if your younger brother surpassed you in height.
Besides her height, the little girl's appearance has also changed somewhat.
First, she cut off a large section of her long black hair that used to reach her thighs. Now it only reaches a little below her shoulders. She usually ties it into a pretty high ponytail with a hair tie, which looks good, but Chen Bing still feels a little regretful after losing her big bun and pigtails.
After putting her arm on the table, Chen Bing lazily leaned over it and began to admire Shang Yunmiao's profile.
First of all, her eyes are still the same size as when she was a child, and her eyebrows are beautifully curved like willow leaves. Her chubby cheeks from childhood have developed some curves and are no longer as round, making her even more adorable and pretty.
Although she's not as fat as before, her skin's whiteness hasn't changed much, and she still blushes easily just like before.
If these are all normal, what a cute fourth-grade girl would look like, then the kind of richness, love, and gentleness she exudes cannot be acquired simply through her appearance.
With her beautiful clothes, clean and tidy appearance, and the wisdom and clarity brought by her highly educated family, this little girl stood out in the class like a lotus emerging from the water.
If we were to describe it from the side, it would probably be the kind of feeling that makes people think of a little princess as soon as they see her.
"Chen Bing...don't keep looking at me..."
"Sigh~" Hurt by a single sentence from his daughter whom he had raised, the old father turned away sadly, gazing at the birds flying freely outside the window and falling into silence.
Once children grow up, they fly away like birds, leaving parents with only loneliness and sorrow.
For some reason, I felt like an old father whose daughter had grown up.
