I am doing well in the Siheyuan

After the test drive, Ye Ming made this comment.

Ran Qiuye had a smile on her face, and it was hard to tell whether she agreed with Ye Ming or was satisfied with the car.

The neighbors around were talking about it:

"Is it really that bad? Then I won't buy it."

"Come on, you can't even afford a bicycle, and you can say that. Aren't you afraid of making a fuss?"

"Didn't he just buy all four houses from Shazhu's family a while ago? How did he still have money to buy a car?"

"Who knows? Everyone says he is corrupt, but which official dares to act as high-profile as he does?"

There were unknown whispers from the crowd.

Ye Ming did not make any excuses.

After the car door closed lightly, he took Ran Qiuye's hand and walked into the courtyard.

If he hadn't considered that his child was growing up and reaching school age, he might not have bought a car.

Ran Qiuye is still the one who prepares three meals a day at home.

"Lou Xiao'e is coming back!"

Taking the rice served by Ran Qiuye, Ye Ming mentioned Lou Xiaoe's recent situation.

Now business in the south is back on track.

The land that he instigated Lou Xiao'e to buy has now increased in value more than tenfold.

He founded Jiachen Construction Group, which was known externally as Loujia.

Today, the company has become the leading construction giant in the South, and its influence even extends to Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, due to concerns about losses, Lou Xiao'e was unable to work with Ye Ming to invest in a small fishing village on the southern coast.

"Then I'll go with you to pick her up."

Ran Qiuye didn't say much. She knew everything about Ye Ming and Lou Xiao'e's business cooperation and had full trust in her husband.

Having not seen Lou Xiao'e for many years, she was looking forward to seeing what she looked like now.

Seeing Ye Ming picking up food for the child, Ran Qiuye also put the dish into Ye Ming's bowl.

"I want to go too. I haven't seen Aunt Lou in years."

Xiao Xin also interrupted.

"Okay, I'll let you experience the new car tomorrow."

The next day.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Ye Ming and Ran Qiuye drove to the Sijiucheng Airport.

At the exit, Ye Ming was holding a pick-up sign with Lou Xiaoe's name on it.

Video calls were not yet popular in that era, and after not seeing each other for several years, I didn’t know what the other person would become like.

"Aunt Lou!"

After twenty minutes of waiting, a dignified and beautiful woman walked out of the airport, and Xiaoxin immediately ran towards her happily.

"Are you Xiaoxin? You've grown so big and become more and more beautiful."

Lou Xiao'e was also very happy to see Xiaoxin.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Ye Ming greeted with a smile.

"It's been a while since I left Beijing, but you're still the same, you haven't changed at all."

Although it has been hard living alone in Hong Kong these years, it is not without hope.

Lou Xiao'e hid her inner feelings very well.

On the side, Ran Qiuye winked knowingly and considerately took the pick-up sign for Ye Ming.

"You've changed so much."

After not seeing her for many years, Lou Xiao'e has become more fashionable and neat, and is no longer the little girl who would secretly wipe her tears.

After exchanging a few words with Ye Ming, Lou Xiao'e also hugged Ran Qiuye, and they understood each other.

After taking Lou Xiao'e's luggage, Ye Ming led everyone out of the airport.

At the same time, Su Meng and her mother, Teacher Liu, who lived in the same courtyard, also walked out of the airport, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a protruding belly.

This person is none other than Uncle Liu, who fled to Hong Kong a few years ago and has now become a multi-millionaire.

As soon as he got out of the airport, Uncle Liu called a taxi.

When he heard that we were going home for dinner, he suggested:

“Forget it, I’d better not go back and cause trouble for my brother-in-law. It’s also troublesome to cook for myself.

Mengmeng, you pick a place, and I'll pay for the money. Just order whatever you want to eat."

"Okay, uncle!"

Su Meng agreed immediately after hearing this.

"How can I feel so embarrassed to spend this money in vain."

Teacher Liu looked embarrassed.

"It's a rare opportunity for us to get together, so listen to me."

Uncle Liu doesn't care about this expense now.

Teacher Liu no longer insisted.

The three of them came to a small restaurant called Fulong Hotel.

Seeing the size of the store, Uncle Liu frowned slightly.

"It's such a small place, why don't we go to a bigger restaurant?"

Uncle Liu seemed a little dissatisfied.

"There's no other choice nearby, so let's eat here first. Seeing so many people, it should taste good."

"so be it!"

Although Uncle Liu was a little unconvinced, he still agreed.

This Fulon Restaurant is run by Qin Jingru. Since He Yuzhu took over as the head chef, the business has become increasingly prosperous. Even Qin Huairu quit her factory job and came to the restaurant to help.

At this moment, she was cleaning up the leftovers after the guests left.

In the box, "What kind of job does Mengmeng do now?"

After sitting down, Uncle Liu asked about Su Meng's recent situation.

Su Meng poured a cup of tea for Uncle Liu.

"I haven't started working yet. I'm currently studying at university. After graduation, I plan to work at the Cultural Bureau."

Most of the first batch of college graduates were assigned to work in similar government departments.

The working environment is comfortable and the salary is quite good.

A position that others only dream of.

However, my uncle has a unique view on this.

"Frankly speaking, I don't recommend Mengmeng to work in the Cultural Bureau. Life there is too restrictive and there is limited room for advancement."

Uncle Liu shook his head to express his objection.

"Even if you are successful in the Cultural Bureau and promoted to the level of section chief before the age of 30, how much salary can you get? In this era, wealth determines status! Whoever can seize the opportunity to make money will be the best among the crowd."

“Compared to politics, doing business has more advantages.”

As Uncle Liu spoke, he placed his wallet in the middle of the dining table.

Inside the wallet, stacks of blue-gray bills look like a grinning smile.

Although according to Uncle Liu, going to college is not a necessary thing - two years is like enjoying a feast left over by others, but even though the feast is leftovers, its richness is still eye-catching.

However, this naturally cannot be said directly in front of Su Meng's parents. After all, receiving higher education is the bottom line.

"In my opinion, it would be better for Su Meng to help me run my business after graduation. My business is in urgent need of manpower."

Uncle Liu's words did make sense. Su Meng was moved after hearing them. She tilted her head and asked:

"Is this possible?"

"Why not?" Uncle Liu straightened his back. "Nowadays, society is full of opportunities. There are only a handful of people in the mainland who earn 10,000 yuan. In Hong Kong, you have to be careful when speaking."

“For example, Jiachen Construction Company seized a good opportunity and purchased a lot of land along the southern coast.

Once the policy changed, the value of those plots of land increased tenfold or more, and now ranks among the top ten assets in Hong Kong.”

Su Meng and Teacher Liu looked at each other. They had never heard of these things.

The world outside is so wonderful, how can people who have not experienced the world understand it?
