Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

At the end of the year, the logistics companies and electrical appliance factories in Guangdong Province will hold a summary meeting, and the development direction for the next year must also be planned in advance.

So the next day after Gu Chen and his sister received their notification letters, they took the train to Guangdong Province.

In recent years, Lin Shu's business in the provincial capital has been expanding, and he was too busy with the work in his own company and factory at the end of the year, so he did not go to Guangdong Province with the three of them this time.

In front of the train station, Lin Shu told the two children to be obedient and not to cause trouble when they got there, and also told Gu Jiu to take good care of himself and the two children.

The father and his two sons helplessly scratched their ears, which were about to be callused. They raised their wrists to check their watches and found that it was still early.

"Gu Qi, Gu Chen!"

Sun Qiming was preparing to enter the station with his parents. As he was looking around boredly, he happened to meet Gu Chen's gaze which looked hopeless.

Gu Chen immediately glared at him with a wary look on his face.

"Where are you going at the train station?" Sun Qiming smiled so hard that his teeth were showing when he first saw the Gu siblings.

Gu Jiu's family of four and their entourage turned around and saw a tall young man jogging towards them, followed by a middle-aged man and woman. Judging from the appearance of the young man and the middle-aged man, they should be father and son.

"Uncle Gu, Auntie, Gu Qi, Gu Chen, and everyone, hello. I didn't expect to meet you at the station. What a coincidence!"

Gu Jiu and Lin Shu smiled and looked at the two children with questioning eyes.

Gu Qi smiled and waved to Sun Qiming, and introduced him to his parents generously: "Dad, Mom, this is our classmate from No. 1 Middle School, Sun Qiming."

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

"Hello."

Gu Jiu politely greeted Sun's father and mother who followed behind.

Father Sun had met Gu Jiu at various provincial conferences, but now it was an accidental encounter for the children, so he didn't want to take the spotlight.

"Gu Qi, Gu Chen, where are you going by car?" Sun Qiming looked excited, with anticipation in his eyes.

Gu Chen: "Go to Guangdong Province."

"Guangdong Province?"

Sun Qiming quickly concealed the disappointment on his face and felt very sorry not to go the same way with their family.

Gu Qi glanced at the suitcase he was pushing and asked curiously, "Sun Qiming, where are you going?"

Sun Qiming soon smiled again, "I will go back to Kyoto with my parents to visit my grandparents. I may spend the New Year there this year."

"Oh, BJ can watch the snow." Gu Qi could see that Sun Qiming was not very happy. He was taught by his parents to have a strong sense of boundaries since he was a child. He would not be too interested in other people's family affairs, let alone inquire about other people's family situations.

That's very rude and can easily make people feel annoyed.

-

"Son, were those siblings just now your classmates?"

There were some things that were difficult to ask too clearly when they were in front of the train station. Once he got on the train and found a berth to sit down, Sun's father couldn't wait to know the situation.

The Gu family lives in the provincial capital, and everyone in their circle knows the Gu family.

The Sun family's home base is Kyoto, and he was just sent to H Province.

Naturally, the Sun family’s influence in the provincial capital is not as great as that of the Gu family.

Sun Qiming smiled when he heard this. "They are one grade lower than me. I will take the college entrance examination next year, and they will take it the year after."

Sun's father and mother noticed their son's expression, looked at each other, and tacitly changed the subject. They were more concerned about their son's academic performance than the friendship between classmates.

The college entrance examination is just a few months away, so every second counts in the days ahead.

"Speaking of this trip back home, you can't make up for the lessons at school, so I asked your second uncle to sign you up for a training class. After you go back and rest for a day, you can go to class. Family reunion during the Chinese New Year is important, but your studies are more important. You can't fall behind in your studies even during the Chinese New Year."

"Dad, there are only two days left for the holiday, can't you let me rest for two more days?" Sun Qiming was speechless. If he had known that he would have to attend classes even if he returned to Kyoto for the New Year, he would have simply stayed in the provincial capital for the New Year.

Spending the New Year in the provincial capital saves time wasted on the road.

Father Sun didn't want to push his child too hard, so he couldn't help but tease him, "I also want you to rest for two days, but will the college entrance examination be postponed for two days just because you want to rest?"

Sun Qiming glanced at the scenery receding outside the window. "Gu Qi and Gu Chen's parents never forced them to study. They never even enrolled them in cram schools from elementary school to high school. Aunt Lin has always advocated that you should rest and have fun during holidays, and study hard at school. You should play when you should and study when you should."

Sun's father frowned slightly. How could the children get good grades if they treated their studies in such a democratic way?

"How do they rank in the class?"

Let’s not talk about their academic performance for now. He only needs to look at their ranking to roughly know the academic performance of the two children.

Sun Qiming: "Top five in the grade."

In fact, Gu Chen is number one in the grade, while Gu Qi is a bit unstable, sometimes in the top three, sometimes in the top five.

Father Sun was a little surprised by the result. "Look, they didn't study often but they still got such good grades. How can you catch up with them if you don't work harder? What if they get into a key university and you get into a second-tier university? In the future, you will be in front of them..."

Needless to say, poor Sun Qiming felt a sense of urgency, as if if he didn't work harder, he would lose the qualification to stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Qi in the future.

On the train, when Sun Qiming was still reading by lamplight, Gu Chen and Gu Qi had already arrived at Yangcheng Railway Station with their families.

The night breeze was blowing and the temperature was very comfortable.

Without the cold wind of the provincial capital, the group only wore a thin coat.

As soon as they reached the exit, they saw Fade Chen waving at them.

Gu Chen's gaze was fixed on a young girl next to Chen Fei. His expressionless face instantly blossomed like a spring flower, and he walked towards them quickly.

"Xiao Fen!"

Gu Jiu followed behind and kept sucking his teeth, it was too shameful to watch.

"Brother Chen, we've been waiting for you for so long that we're almost starving. Now is the time to eat. Please treat us to a big meal later."

Gu Chen raised his hand and rubbed her head twice, then readily agreed, "Okay, let's eat and sprinkle some water, you can order whatever you want tonight."

Chen Fei was beside him, clicking his tongue. When Gu Jiu came closer, he joked, "Brother Jiu, Brother Chen is very rich now. I was planning to host a welcoming party for you tonight, but I didn't want him to steal the limelight. Don't force me to pay for it later."

Gu Jiu glanced at his stupid son and said nicely, "Every time we come to Yangcheng, you spend a lot of money. Now that he has grown up, it's only right for him to help out. In the future, if you need him to run errands for something, just tell him directly. Young people should exercise more."

Otherwise, all you’ll be thinking about is love affairs.

"Hahaha, Brother Jiu, you are joking. Brother Chen is very wealthy now, almost catching up with you and me. If I dare to ask him to run errands for me, I think the employees in his company will skin me alive if they find out. I don't dare."

Chen Fei shook his head and took the suitcase from Gu Jiu, then asked everyone to go to the parking lot together.
