Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Is Wenhao back?"

Zhao Wenjing felt a little distressed when she saw her brother coming home exhausted. She put down her work, walked over to Zhao Wenhao, and gently patted his shoulder.

"Sister, what are we having for dinner? I'm starving!"

While complaining, Zhao Wenhao touched his stomach with his hand, as if trying to suppress his hunger.

"Yueyue is busy in the kitchen, go and see for yourself."

Zhao Wenjing replied with a smile, she knew her brother liked the food cooked by Yang Yue the most and he would enjoy eating it every time.

After a busy day, Zhao Wenhao arrived at Zhao Wenjing and Yang Yue's rental apartment. He actually had his own dorm at the company, but Zhao Wenhao still liked to come and sit there. There was a warm feeling there that made him feel relaxed and at ease.

"Sister, how's the renovation going on at the villa? It's not right for you to always live in this rental house!"

Zhao Wenhao sat down on the sofa and lay down comfortably on it, not wanting to move at all.

At the beginning of the month, the decoration was complete. Yueyue suggested that it should be aired out for a while to remove the smell. Zhao Wenjing picked up the teacup and poured a glass of water for Zhao Wenhao, then sat down.

"Oh, that's too slow."

Zhao Wenhao was too lazy to move, so he just lay there and took the cup of water from Zhao Wenjing's hand. With a "gulp", he drank half a cup of water.

He sighed, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. He thought his sister should live in a better place, rather than being squeezed into a small rental house like she was now.

"Okay, okay, stop complaining. By the way, how is your work lately?" Zhao Wenjing changed the subject and asked about her brother's work.

"Not bad, just a little busy."

Zhao Wenhao replied with a smile, he knew his sister was always worried that he was under too much pressure at work.

"That's good. Take care of yourself." Zhao Wenjing reminded.

At this time, Yang Yue brought out a plate of delicious food from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.

"It's time to eat!" Yang Yue shouted.

Zhao Wenhao smelled the fragrance and immediately jumped up from the sofa and ran to the dining table to sit down.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Zhao Wenhao exclaimed, his eyes shining.

Zhao Wenjing also walked over and sat next to her brother and began to enjoy dinner. The family sat together, eating and chatting, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"Wenhao, your villa is too big. I'm still not used to it. Why don't you keep it for yourself? I have money, so I can just buy an ordinary three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in the city."

"The house has already been given to you, so you can do whatever you want with it. However, when Yueyue and I move in, your family will be next door, so we can look after each other. What's the point of you going to the city alone to buy a house?"

Besides, I already said at Gu's house that day that I would buy you a villa. If you refuse now, what will they say in their hearts?

Zhao Wenjing wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhao Wenhao. "Sister, it's settled. Stop nagging me. Why are you like mom now, nagging me all day long?"

"In a few days, I plan to go to Hong Kong Island to do some work." Zhao Wenhao took a bite of a piece of braised pork, his mouth full of oil, "I thought, why don't you two come with me and take a trip to Hong Kong Island.

I'm busy all year round, so I don't have a moment to relax. You two could take this opportunity to rest for a few days. Of course, if Brother Qiang gets some time off, we can come too. I'll take care of the Hong Kong and Macau Pass."

"Go to Hong Kong Island?" Zhao Wenjing's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of longing.

Although she had never been to Hong Kong Island, she had often seen the prosperous scenes there on TV and in movies, and had always longed for the opportunity to experience it in person.

She couldn't help but get excited when she heard the proposal. However, she quickly regained her composure and asked curiously, "How long do you plan to stay?"

Zhao Wenhao answered while chewing his food, "About seven days. Generally speaking, ordinary people can only stay in Hong Kong Island for seven days when applying for a tourist visa.

However, if a company or organization in Hong Kong issues an invitation letter, or if you apply for a work visa, you can extend your stay."

He put down his chopsticks, took a sip of his drink, and continued, "If we want to go, we have to prepare our Hong Kong and Macau passes in advance."

After hearing this, Zhao Wenjing secretly thought about it in his heart.

Although she really wanted to visit Hong Kong Island, she hesitated when she thought that her clothing store might be affected by closing for a week.

After all, doing business requires a stable customer base and a good reputation. If you are closed for a long time, you may lose customer trust and lead to a decline in business.

So, she shook her head helplessly and said softly, "Forget it, you two can just go and have fun. I don't think Gu Qiang can ask for such a long leave."

In fact, she just made up a random excuse, hoping to let Zhao Wenhao and Yang Yue enjoy the joy of traveling alone.

Yang Yue was quite happy to hear that she could go to Hong Kong Island with her boyfriend.

Zhao Wenhao had been traveling so much over the years that he hadn't had a moment of free time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it would be a good idea for the two of them to have some fun.

"Sister, let's go together. It's not a big deal to close the store for a few days." Yang Yue immediately advised.

Zhao Wenjing chuckled, "You guys go ahead, I'll just watch from the store. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, we'll talk about it then."

Zhao Wenhao didn't care. If he went there with Yang Yue, it would be just right for them to spend some time alone.

Therefore, Zhao Wenjing was not forced.

"Sister, have you discussed it with Gu Qiang? When do you plan to get married?" Zhao Wenhao changed the subject.

Zhao Wenjing blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm asking you. What's there to be embarrassed about?" Zhao Wenhao rolled his eyes.

Zhao Wenjing responded quietly, "Gu Qiang's family wants to get engaged on May Day of next year, and then get married on October 1st. Before the wedding, both parents will meet to discuss wedding details."

Zhao Wenhao didn't have any objection. He had promised Yang Yue that they would get married next year.

But now that Zhao Wenjing is getting married, he can only postpone it for a while.

"Call home and discuss it with your parents. It would be best if the two families meet before the New Year to talk about everything that needs to be said, so that the family can prepare in advance." Zhao Wenhao suggested.

By the Chinese New Year, which is in February, the two families will always meet and communicate.

Including whether the wedding will be held in the provincial capital or in both places?

What preparations do you need to make for dowry, betrothal gifts, etc.? After all, different places have different customs, so it’s always necessary to discuss them in advance to avoid a mess when the time comes.

That was the deal. As a junior, it was not his turn to worry about Zhao Wenjing's marriage.

But thinking about his unreliable father and his mother who had no ideas, he was the only one in the family who could help.
