Chapter 72 Gratitude
Xu Chen recalled.

In his previous life, Xie Bingran was detained in a correctional facility for the next two years and did not attend the 08 Olympics.

Xu Chen vaguely remembered that Xie Bingran in his previous life seemed to have only come to prominence after 2010.

Now with the help of Xu Chen, Xie Bingran's timeline has changed, and he may really have a chance to compete in the Olympics in two years.

……

Li Rui held the steering wheel and drove steadily and gently.

This is in stark contrast to his usual rude and impulsive appearance.

Fourth Uncle was sitting in the back row, he turned his head and looked at Xu Chen, his mood still complicated.

He said half-jokingly to Xu Zhiquan who was sitting in the passenger seat:
"Brother, we have to reimburse Xiaochen for the 120,000 yuan fertilizer purchase fee, right?"

Xu Zhiquan laughed:

"You are in charge of the purchasing expenses. This is the account between you and Xu Chen. You two can just settle it."

Xu Zhilin smiled, turned to Xu Chen and said:
"Xiao Chen, can Fourth Uncle owe you the 120,000 first?
The company's various purchases are indeed tight, I will calculate the interest for you."

Xu Chen: "Fourth Uncle, that's what you said! I'll come back to collect the debt from you!"

My uncle at the side adjusted his glasses and said with a smile:

"Xiao Chen, you are so capable. What kind of help did you give to that Mr. Zhao? He actually gave you 120,000 worth of goods as a reward...

With your brain, you will definitely be able to get into a very good university!"

Xu Chen: "Thanks to my uncle's good words! I must get into a 985 university!"

……

It was evening when we returned to the factory.

Fourth Aunt came out from the yard, and when she saw the people getting off the car, she asked:
"Done?"

Fourth uncle looked very proud:
"Of course I did!"

Fourth Aunt was startled for a moment, then smiled and glanced at Xu Chen:
"I really didn't expect that Xiaochen would be able to handle the fertilizer issue!"

Fourth Uncle: "Besides, it didn't cost a penny!"

Fourth Aunt: "Ah?! Why?"

The fourth uncle laughed:
"Our Xiaochen is so capable that the boss of the fertilizer factory gave us goods worth 120,000 yuan for free!"

Fourth Aunt blinked her eyes, looking incredulous...

Zhang Yongqing adjusted his glasses and interrupted:

"And in the future, we can get the goods directly from the distributors, and we don't have to go to those small merchants anymore!"

Fourth Aunt: "Really?!"

Fourth Uncle showed some emotion and said:

"Yes, no one will be able to trip us up about this fertilizer issue from now on!
I was so worried this morning, but I didn’t expect that my little Chen would resolve my worries.”

Xu Chen imitated his father and laughed twice:

"Pure coincidence!"

It was indeed a coincidence.

Xu Chen suggested to Guo Liang that they do not need the 80,000 yuan and use 120,000 yuan worth of fertilizer to offset the loss. It was really a spur of the moment decision.

He just remembered that his father had mentioned that his fourth uncle was having a headache about fertilizers, and he didn't expect that he would hit upon the right opportunity and be able to help.

Everyone entered the yard, talking and laughing.

Xu Zhiquan said:

"Let's go! Let's hang up the new company's sign!"

……

My fourth uncle and third uncle came out each holding a sign.

Li Rui got two strings of bright red firecrackers from somewhere and placed them at the gate with a bamboo pole.

Two signs, "Dongchen Co., Ltd." and "Chenxin Seedlings," were hung up.

There was no ribbon-cutting or red cloth, and no auspicious day was chosen.

Everything is simple and casual, but it cannot conceal everyone's joy.

Li Rui used a lighter to light the firecrackers. The "crackling" sound could not suppress the bursts of laughter.

Xu Zhiquan took a puff of cigarette and said:

“I have good news for you in advance.

I have received an internal notice that we have actually won the bid for the Chengnan Nursery Project. However, the leaders still have internal procedures to review and approve, so it is not easy to announce it directly..."

The third uncle was delighted: "Really?!"

The fourth uncle smiled:
"Great! Our first business is finally officially opened!

With this order as a foundation, the subsequent business will come in droves.”

He turned and looked at Zhang Yongqing:
"Yongqing, we really need to get busy!"

Zhang Yongqing adjusted his glasses:

"It's good to be busy! There's something to strive for!"

Xu Zhiquan waved his hand:
"Let's go! Go drink!"

Fourth Aunt said, "Don't worry! Let's take a group photo!"

Xu Chen took out his Nokia N70, and Li Rui walked up to him and wanted to help take pictures.

Xu Chen looked up at the Accord parked at the door:
"Just put your phone in the car and take the photo! Hurry up and stand still!"

"Ten seconds left!"

Xu Chen pressed the countdown shutter and quickly ran back.

Xu Zhiquan grabbed Xu Chen and pulled him to the middle position with a smile.

The cell phone's flash flashed and an electronic shutter sounded.

Nokia, with only two million pixels, recorded the initial start of "Dongchen Group".

……

The yard was filled with seedlings and potted plants, and an area had been cleared out.

Two square wooden tables were put together, and the tables were filled with meat and vegetables.

This was ordered by Li Rui at the restaurant next door. It has a full table of fish and meat and costs only two hundred yuan.

Xu Zhiquan went to the inner room and took out two bottles of wine, which turned out to be two bottles of Guojiao.

"Second brother, this is time to open some good wine!" said the fourth uncle with a smile.

"Of course we have to open a bottle of good wine! Today is our grand opening, and Xu Chen has also helped us with the fertilizer purchases. Isn't it worth opening a bottle of good wine?"

As soon as the cork is opened, the aroma of wine hits your nose.

Fourth Uncle licked his lips, obviously craving for wine.

At the table, only the brothers Xu Zhiquan and Xu Zhilin could drink. My third uncle Zhang Yongqing's face started to turn red after he took a sip.

Xu Chen and Li Rui were both only eighteen years old, so they did not drink alcohol, not to mention that Li Rui had to drive later.

Fourth Aunt was busy greeting everyone, but Fourth Uncle stuffed a glass of wine into her mouth, which was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue.

……

After three rounds of drinks, the two brothers Xu Zhiquan and Xu Zhilin hugged each other's shoulders and became very emotional.

Third uncle Zhang Yongqing held a cup of tea and said to Xu Chen:
"Xiao Chen, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine!"

Xu Chen quickly picked up the cup:

"Uncle, you are the elder, I toast to you!"

Zhang Yongqing smiled and said:
"I have to thank you for letting me work here."

Xu Chen: "What are you talking about, Third Uncle? If you want to thank anyone, you should thank my dad."

Third uncle: "Brother-in-law told me that it was you who mentioned me to him, so he went back to his hometown and brought me out...

I have actually been idle for half a year and can’t find a job. Thank you so much! ”

Xu Chen also felt a little emotional, and clinked his cup with his uncle's:
"Don't be polite, Third Uncle. Our nursery company is now well established thanks to you!"

My third uncle smiled embarrassedly, tilted his head back and drank the cup of tea.

Li Rui also brought a cup of tea:

"Thank you, Brother Chen!

I, Li Rui, am also unable to speak and have only been here for three or two days. Mr. Xu, Fourth Uncle, Uncle Yongqing and Brother Chen are all very righteous people.

I, Li Rui, am lucky to be able to work here...

I am really grateful to Brother Chen!"

Xu Chen smiled, said nothing, and patted Li Rui on the shoulder.
