Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 345: For Your Own Good

In such a rainy winter, eating hot pot is of course the choice for most people. Feng Yuxuan took them to a hot pot restaurant at noon, but this restaurant mainly serves seafood. It is considered to be a relatively high-end one among the many hot pot restaurants in the provincial capital.

'How's Godmother? I called her last time and she said she was doing well.'

'Yes, she is doing well. She misses you and wants you to visit her sometime.'

'I miss Godmother too, but I'm really busy. It may not seem like it, but I can't spare a minute. My brother also has a problem with this. He says I haven't visited him once in the three years he's been studying in the city. This year, my parents are spending more time at home, so I can't get away any more. But no matter what, when I go home at the end of the year, I will definitely visit Godmother.' Feng Yuxuan then used Feng Yiping as a shield.

As if to punctuate her words, her phone immediately rang. 'Hey, hey, speak up,' she said for a few moments, and indeed it was too noisy in the restaurant, so she gestured and went outside to answer the phone.

Shi Yijian went in with a shrimp mantis and asked Zhou Yufang, 'Your god-sister, she runs a big business at home, doesn't she?'

'It's not small, right? I heard from Yu Xuan that his brother in particular is very impressive. He owns Jia Convenience Stores, which are all over the city. There are now branches in several provinces, nearly 200 in total. I heard that he also took over a state-owned factory in the city and set up a furniture factory. It's really impressive. Even the noodle shops that Yu Xuan is in charge of now are mostly owned by his brother.'

'Oh, then their family is really something.'

Feng Yuxuan came back from the phone, 'Sorry, they still want me to make the decisions about some things in the store. Don't be polite, just dig in!'

'It's okay,' Shi Weiji said, grabbing a small colander and lifting a shrimp-like creature up to Feng Yuxuan, 'This one is really quite fat,'

'Thank you, I'll do it myself.' Feng Yuxuan dipped a ladle of lamb into the hot water.

'Your parents are doing well at home, aren't they? How can they be so heartless as to let you get so busy and take charge of so many restaurants all by yourself?' Zhou Yufang asked.

'They're not idle at home either. My father was just elected to the CPPCC, so sometimes he has to go to meetings in the county. He also has to help coordinate the two factories in the town, one of which the village also has a stake in. In addition, two more processing plants have just been built in the village and will be able to start production at the beginning of next year. They also grow some of their own food. All in all, they're busier than I am!'

'You're right!'

'But they are used to hardship. They really can't stand being idle. They are only comfortable living such a busy life. They have been to the provincial capital a few times this year, and they look even better than when they were here.'

'That's good. For them, it's probably fine to be a bit tired, as long as they are comfortable,' Zhou Yufang said.

'Your father is a member of the county political consultative conference, which is pretty good. Do you know who the county head is?' Shi Yuxian took over the conversation again.

Feng Yuxuan really didn't know. Before she came out, when she was studying, her family didn't have a TV, so she couldn't watch the county news. After she came out, she stayed in the city and couldn't watch the county news either. Plus, she never had the habit of reading newspapers, so she had no idea who the county head was.

'The county head of your county, we met when he was still the town mayor. At that time, his town was building a reservoir, and I also took some projects, so we often drank together,' Shi Weiji boasted.

'Yes, Boss Shi has been taking on projects outside the city since the 1980s and knows a lot of people,' said Zhou Yufang's boyfriend, Xiao Hu.

'And do you know Mayor Fang from the city? When she was still the principal of a primary school, I took on the project of building a small bridge at her school and got to know her very well. Now I even go to her house to visit during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.' Shi Wei could not wait to take out his phone and give Mayor Fang a call on the spot to confirm that he had a wide range of contacts and that what he had said was true.

The truth was that he had taken on a school project, but it wasn't the school where Mayor Fang had worked. He and Mayor Fang had never even met, let alone the fact that he now often visited her home. He didn't even know which way the mayor's door opened.

When she was in the city, Feng Yuxuan was very interested when she heard things like this and thought the person saying them was very impressive. However, now that her experiences and horizons were different, she now found it very boring to hear the middle-aged man in his thirties bragging in front of her.

She didn't know who the county head was, but she heard that when the meeting was held this year, the county head spoke with her father for quite some time, very warmly and politely, hoping that the family would invest more in their hometown.

She had also never met Mayor Fang, but she knew that her younger brother seemed to have some connection with the mayor's family, having visited a few times, and was also a classmate of the mayor's only daughter, so their relationship was also quite good.

So she didn't even respond to the conversation, and only asked Zhou Yufang, 'When are you and Xiao Hu planning to get married?'

'It's roughly set for next summer, and you must come then.'

'Of course.'

Shi Weiwei felt a bit defeated. Although he didn't even own a motorcycle, he felt that Feng Yuxuan's car was average, and she dressed in an average way. He knew the brand of her bag, but it was just a very common one.

Overall, she should be a country girl who had made a bit of money by chance. As for the factory she ran at home and in town, he had seen many of those, so it should be a workshop.

For a country girl with a rural household registration, the biggest official she is likely to have dealt with is the village chief, and at most she may have met the town mayor. Isn't she generally interested in this kind of stuff?

He also has no discerning eye and couldn't recognise the watch on Feng Yuxuan's wrist, which costs tens of thousands of yuan. As for household registration, well, Feng Yuxuan really doesn't even bother with the provincial city's household registration now, waiting for Feng Yiping to get her a Hong Kong household registration.

After dinner, everyone went shopping together. During the time, Feng Yuxuan's phone kept ringing, and she bought very few things. In total, she bought a set of thermal underwear. On the contrary, Xiao Hu had a lot of packages in her hands, all of which were bought by Zhou Yufang.

Along the way, Shi Wei also asked Feng Yuxuan about her situation and her family's situation in a roundabout way. Out of politeness and respect for Zhou Yufang, Feng Yuxuan occasionally talked to him a little bit, and tried to keep her family's situation as general as possible.

In front of the villagers, she still likes to brag a little bit, because they are all from the same village and don't have to be on their guard.

But in front of these people she doesn't know well, she knows how to judge the situation and not only will she not brag, she will also try to keep her words to a minimum. After all, people's hearts are full of secrets, and who knows what these people are thinking. When they don't have any money, they like to pretend to be rich, but once they really become rich, she becomes much more low-key.

They had dinner at a well-known hotel in the provincial capital that night. The food was exquisite. Feng Yuxuan accompanied them and had two glasses of wine, but then excused herself, saying that she had to drive, and never touched the glass again.

Because they were drinking Maotai, Shi Xieji had drunk quite a lot and was flushed. In a concerned tone, he said to Feng Yuxuan sitting next to him, 'Yuxuan, as a friend, I have a few things I want to say to you,'

'Yes, go ahead,' Feng Yuxuan replied, and then said to Zhou Yufang, 'This tilefish is good, try it.'

Seeing that Feng Yuxuan wasn't very interested, Shi Xie didn't get discouraged. He believed that Feng Yuxuan would become interested when he heard what he had to say next.

'Although we are a family, as a girl, I think you should think about yourself in advance. To put it simply, since your brother has opened so many companies, the noodle shop business should all be given to you, don't you think so? Your parents' factories in the town and village will definitely be passed on to your brother in the future. In the countryside nowadays, daughters definitely have no inheritance rights.'
