Chapter 163 Enjoy Happiness
"Your name is Tang Yuan too."
Zheng Man knew the existence of "Tangyuan". Although they didn't communicate much, she always heard this name from Wen Jiaqi. She said that their situations were very similar, but for many years, she couldn't find any similarities between them.
Not now either.
But she saw another Tang Garden.
"Yes, my name is Tang Yuan. My name is exactly the same as hers," Tang Yuan looked at her. "I can see that you have lived a good life these years. Has the value of your house in Hong Kong increased?"
It was Tang Yuan who helped Zheng Man buy the house in Hong Kong.
When Zheng Man heard this question, her eyes suddenly sore and she nodded: "It has appreciated, but my sister and I mainly live in Shenzhen now. We rent out our house in Hong Kong. One year's rent is more than enough to cover our living expenses."
"It's great, life is so relaxing like this," Tang Yuan narrowed his eyes, "Isn't this how life should be like?"
"Yes, in the early years, my dream was to live such a good life." Zheng Man looked at Tang Yuan and described her situation over the years word by word, as if she wanted to say out what had been hidden in her heart for many years.
She didn't consider what the situation was between Tang Yuan and Wen Jiaqi, nor did she consider anything else. The moment she recognized Tang Yuan, all her doubts over the years had completely dissipated.
She talked about her house in Hong Kong, her parents' happiness in their later years, their natural death, her life over the years, and she also talked about how she bought several houses in Shenzhen.
When she got older, she could live happily just collecting rent even if she did nothing.
Finally, she looked at Tang Yuan and said, "Can I transfer a house to you?"
Tang Yuan laughed: "Why would I need your house? Wouldn't it be better for you to continue collecting rent?"
"Then I'll write a will," Zheng Man looked at her, "and when I'm gone, all those houses will belong to you."
"It's still early, why are you thinking about these things? Don't act like we won't have time to talk later," Tang Yuan looked at her helplessly, "I tell you, you are enjoying life now, but at my age, I can already enjoy life."
Tang Yuan pointed at herself and took out her ID to show Zheng Man her age.
She could never have imagined that she could enjoy a happy life at such a young age.
Even if she has nothing else, she can spend the share from the beverage factory happily. Is there anything happier than collecting dividends without doing anything?
The two chatted for a long time, until late at night.
Not everyone knew her situation. Xue Shiqi did not recognize her, nor did she intend to recognize her.
Knowing too much about some things can be a burden to one. Tang Yuan did not deliberately talk to Xue Shiqi and did not give her a chance to recognize him. However, Xue Shiqi was not very free either. She only stayed for one day and returned to Hong Kong the next day to handle company matters.
Xue Shiqi's business is also quite big and she has become famous both at home and abroad in recent years. The only thing that has not changed is that she still likes to knit sweaters.
Most of the sweaters that Zheng Man and her friends wore were knitted by Xue Shiqi herself.
Since machines were able to knit sweaters, although handmade sweaters could still be sold, Xue Shiqi no longer had the heart to run a small sweater business. Except for her close friends, no one else could wear the sweaters she knitted.
As she grew older, she changed a lot, but some things remained the same. At least she did not change her original intention and still enjoyed the joy of knitting sweaters.
Similarly, there are some familiar people that you don't necessarily have to meet.
Tang Yuan received a video.
In the video, several old ladies were sitting together playing mahjong. They were none other than those she was familiar with, including the grandma and grandpa, Aunt Wei, the second aunt, etc. Standing next to them was Shen Wenyu, who was not that old.
The system explained the situation to her.
"In the 1980s, the country gradually opened up and no restrictions were imposed on doing business. I found another place and built a building. I brought them all in to work. The salary was not too high, but it was basically a little higher than the average salary. I also paid pensions for them. Now that I'm retired, the pensions are enough for my life. When I have nothing to do, I like to get together and play mahjong."
"That's great. It would be nice to play mahjong in old age." Tang Yuan watched the video twice more.
"There are also Sun Dong and his group. After they were released, they started raising chickens and are still the largest chicken farmers in the area," the system said, looking at Tang Yuan and solemnly said, "I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize, just think of me as their colleague for a few years," Tang Yuan put down his phone and looked at the system. "To be honest, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but after meeting you, I knew in my heart that this was the best outcome. If I didn't leave, they wouldn't survive, right?"
"And Amy..."
"It's a pity that Amy went there too late, otherwise she would have survived." Tang Yuan sighed.
The system looked at Tang Yuan carefully.
Tang Yuan smiled: "Really, I have adapted to it."
"Do you still like selling things? I can take you to sell things and make money." The system said sincerely.
Before Tang Yuan could say anything, there was a knock on the door, and a group of people rushed in.
Wen Jiaqi, Xiaomei, and "Tang Yuan" all came in with gifts.
Not only real estate in various places, but also shares in the industries under their names.
"Time is tight, but we have been preparing for this long ago," Xiaomei said first. "Since you don't want the entire industry, we won't force you. We will just transfer some of the shares to you, and that will be our salary to you."
"Many of the properties are rented out. You can collect the rent and use it as your salary."
"My business is not as extensive as theirs. It's just a few odds and ends. Please don't be disgusted by them."
As they were talking, they placed piles of contracts that needed to be signed in front of Tang Yuan and asked her to sign.
There were too many contracts, and several people and the system were urging her to sign them one by one. However, before signing, she took a closer look at the content of the share contract, which was basically only 5% or 10%.
She had been involved in these industries before, and after seeing this number, she felt relatively at ease when she signed her name.
It was not until after all the contracts were signed and the industrial information summarized by the system that she realized she had been overthinking it.
Although 5% and 10% of the profits may not seem like much, they actually total hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions. As for the other industries that she has not paid attention to, they are all original shares of some large companies. Even if it is only 1% or even 0.5% of the shares, it is still a lot.
The system even used the profits from the beverage factory to buy shares in some multinational companies, and now has a considerable stake.
After all these contracts were signed, Tang Yuan instantly became a billionaire.
This does not include various real estate properties. If all are included, the price will probably more than double.
Compared with these things, the millions that Tang Yuan had earned from selling those antiques were really just a small fraction, and it even made her lose the desire to continue selling antiques.
It's just some small change, it doesn't matter whether you sell it or not, it's not a bad idea to keep it at home and reminisce about the past.
But she didn't want to sell it, and someone wanted her to sell it.
When she received the call, she was swimming in the rooftop pool of her mansion. The 12-meter pool allowed her to do several flips back and forth. After practicing for several days, she learned many swimming styles.
After answering the phone, she lay down on the edge of the swimming pool and talked to the person on the other side.
This person was the vice president whom she thought had a good attitude before.
"Or is it that Miss Tang is not satisfied with the price she paid before?"
"Satisfied," Tang Yuan replied, "but I'm not sure how many antiques there are among the remaining things. You know, I don't know much about antiques. These things were all dug out from discarded books and newspapers. What if there isn't any..."
"It's okay, we will ask experts to appraise it. Even if there is nothing, you are still our big customer." They were reluctant to give up. After all, in the 1970s and 1980s, it was true that treasures could be unearthed in scrap yards. If there were any precious authentic items inside, it would be an opportunity for the auction company to build its reputation.
Calligraphy, paintings, and scrolls are things that are easily damaged, and during the turmoil of the 1970s and 1980s, many of them were destroyed.
Even if Tang Yuan could pick out a genuine piece, it would be a huge gain.
“If we can find the authentic ones, more people will be able to appreciate them, and they won’t be buried,” the vice president said seriously.
Tang Yuan was moved by these words.
"Then you guys decide when it's possible, and I can cooperate with you." Tang Yuan said.
"Ms. Tang, you're joking. It depends on when you are free. We can cooperate with you." The vice president's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Then let's do it in three days. I'll go to your company then." Tang Yuan confirmed the time.
"Okay, then how about we meet at the company three days later, at 10 a.m. on the 25th?" The vice president mentioned a specific time to avoid ambiguity.
Tang Yuan agreed.
After hanging up the phone, she put the phone aside and took a bath towel from the side and wrapped it around herself.
Wen Jiaqi and the others are playing mahjong again.
I heard her voice coming from the mahjong room: "Xiaoyuan, just ask the butler to bring up whatever you want to eat."
"Do you want to eat?" Tang Yuan sat on the sofa, picked up the tablet on the coffee table, and started ordering.
It's not takeout, but dining in. This building is equipped with a large professional kitchen and professional chefs that can provide meals for the owners of the building. No matter what you want to eat, it can be cooked for you.
Of course, if the owner wants something more sophisticated, he or she will need to make an appointment in advance.
If you really want, you can even have it shipped by air, or contact nearby big hotels to transfer the ingredients over. After all, the owner of this building is also a big customer of all the major hotels.
Wen Jiaqi and others ordered what they wanted to eat. Tang Yuan placed the orders one by one, ordered his favorite dishes, and finally confirmed the order.
The moment you successfully place your order, the page will show “Preparing food”.
Tang Yuan glanced at the tablet and thought to herself that such a life was truly a luxury. With such a luxurious life to live, she didn't want to go to work at all.
The joy of earning money by working cannot compare to the life we have now, which is almost like having everything provided for you.
She got up and went back to her room. The closet was full of her clothes, all tailor-made to her figure.
There are so many clothes to wear. There are so many clothes to wear!
