Yu Xiangwen was a very gentlemanly man. He took good care of Chu Yu at the dinner table, washing the dishes and chopsticks for her, and serving her food and water. You really couldn't tell that he was involved in organized crime.
Frankly speaking, Chu Yu even felt that Yu Xiangwen was more suited to business. With his ability to remain calm and collected under pressure, becoming a cunning and shrewd businessman wouldn't be difficult for him.
The restaurant was indeed very good; Chu Yu ate heartily and had a very pleasant meal.
"I ate at several local restaurants a few days ago, but none of them tasted as good as this one."
"Of course, this restaurant is a secret of mine and Longcheng's, and we've never brought anyone else here."
Chu Yu was a little suspicious of Yu Xiangwen's words, mainly because the man always spoke in a nonchalant manner, making it difficult to tell whether he was telling the truth or not.
Chu Yu subconsciously looked at Long Cheng, who, being simple-minded, immediately echoed:
"That's right, we used to eat here before we became famous. After we became big shots, we came less often, but we still often patronized Aunt Guang's business. When we're not busy, we'll come here for a meal and reminisce about our younger days."
Chu Yu almost choked on her sourness. How old is Long Cheng?
These gangsters started out early. Lung Cheng started as a thug at the age of 14 and climbed to his current position step by step through his own abilities.
He's at most 25 years old this year, where does his youth come from?
Chu Yu's expression made Long Cheng feel like a fool.
"Little girl, you better believe me!"
Chu Yu suppressed a laugh, "You're only a few years older than me? Alright, with that face of yours, you're obviously just pretending to be profound, you're actually not that old."
Long Cheng didn't care to hear that. He was the big boss of Xinyi City. What did he mean by pretending to be profound? The moment he stood outside, he could terrify people. It was only because Chu Yu wasn't afraid of him that he was so powerful.
"Don't just talk about me. You just graduated this year, right? How old are you? Are you even 22 yet? You should at least call me 'brother'!"
Brother Long? Chu Yu thought the title was a bit cringeworthy; it would be better to just call him Boss.
Yu Xiangwen saw through her thoughts, suppressed a laugh, and poured her a glass of cola.
"Come on, let's have a drink, the three of us!"
Long Cheng raised his glass and clinked it with his. "To be honest, Chu Yu's social circle is completely different from ours. I, Long Cheng, am usually so aggressive and ruthless. This is the first time I've made a friend who is such a top student."
That's right. It's precisely because there's no overlap that I feel more relaxed when interacting with Chu Yu, like entering another unfamiliar world. In this world, Long Cheng isn't a big shot, there's no need for gang fights or knife fights, and Yu Xiangwen doesn't need to deal with those bloody businesses.
They felt exceptionally relaxed when they were with Chu Yu.
Chu Yu could roughly guess what they were thinking. Sometimes fate led them down this path. Although Long Cheng and Yu Xiangwen were gang leaders, they weren't entirely good people, but they weren't inherently bad. Naturally, they were better suited to be gang leaders than others.
Imagine if the boss of Xinyi City were someone else, the entire city would be much more chaotic than it is now.
With Lung Shing in charge, the entire gangster community in Hong Kong is fortunate to be led by him. The Hong Kong police are aware of this as well. Although they cause trouble for Sun Yee Cheng, they also negotiate with him, maintaining a strange balance between the two sides.
"Chu Yu, we've entrusted all the money in Xinyi City to you. Find a way to spend it and earn some more," Long Cheng said.
Chu Yu couldn't refuse, and besides, she really needed the money.
As for whether she will run away with this huge sum of money?
Long Cheng and Yu Xiangwen weren't worried, Chu Yu wasn't worried, and nobody was worried. Who would dare to run away with Xinyi City's money? As it stands, nobody has that guts, and Chu Yu certainly isn't that kind of person.
Over dinner, the three reached an agreement: Chu Yu would use Xinyi City's money to invest in the real estate and automotive industries.
As for the shares...
Chu Yu wouldn't let Xin Yicheng suffer any losses, and Xin Yicheng wasn't worried that she wouldn't give them dividends.
In short, the three of them had a tacit understanding that even if Xinyi City was not among Chu Yu's shareholders, Chu Yu would still plan the money properly.
Chu Yu came to Gangcheng this time intending to bring her family to celebrate the Spring Festival. She never expected to encounter Mao Xia's situation, and even less did she expect that Xinyicheng would take a liking to the car business and give her a sum of start-up capital.
The funding problem was solved unintentionally, which was also beyond Chu Yu's expectations.
With the money from Xinyi City, Chu Yu's game of musical chairs in the South China Sea will only get better.
Over the next few days, Chu Yu took her family around to see if there was anything else they could buy.
In this era, the mainland lacked resources, but Hong Kong had everything. Mainlanders rarely came to Hong Kong, and they really wanted to empty the city. In the end, Shu Hui and Shen Jun even wanted to take home appliances, and each of them bought a rice cooker. They even bought gold by the pound.
Shu Hui bought some gold jewelry for her three daughters, saying it would be part of their dowries.
Shen Jun bought Chu Yu necklaces, earrings, rings, and a small diamond ring for her to wear and play with.
Chu Yu smiled. She had two mothers who loved her in this life, so she hadn't lived in vain.
What is happiness? This is happiness, isn't it? I thought my mother was dead, but unexpectedly, she was reincarnated in this era. In the vast sea of people, I was able to meet my mother again. The fate of two lifetimes has fulfilled the bond between mother and daughter in two lifetimes.
As Chu Yu approached the mall entrance, she saw a little girl handing out samples.
The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw that she was dressed fashionably and was pretty, and she happily pulled her along.
"Sister, I work part-time. Our brand is having a promotion where you can try our cosmetics for free. Why don't you all try them out? It would be a favor, okay?"
