Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Since Li Youcai rented this old factory, Chu Xinyan has only been here a few times.

The dilapidated scenes of the past are now gone, replaced by a newly renovated market that has taken shape.

"How is it? It's looking pretty good now. Come on, I'll take you around." Li Youcai pulled Chu Xinyan and walked into the market.

Chu Xinyan saw that the previously empty workshop had now been transformed into neat and tidy compartments.

Normally, Li Youcai doesn’t talk much about what’s happening outside, and Chu Xinyan doesn’t know much about it either. She didn’t expect things to have turned out like this.

"This is the small hardware area, which will sell pots, pans, scissors, kitchen knives and other things in the future. Over there is the daily necessities area, and over there there are more..." Li Youcai led Chu Xinyan around the market, constantly introducing the results of his hard work to Chu Xinyan.

Seeing Chu Xinyan's astonished expression, Li Youcai's vanity was greatly satisfied.

"From now on, I will be the boss here, and you, Comrade Chu Xinyan, will be the boss's wife. Are you happy?" Li Youcai asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm happy." Chu Xinyan never dared to hope that her life would undergo such a huge change.

Li Youjie wore a safety helmet and a pair of white gloves, looking very professional.

Seeing Li Youcai and Chu Xinyan, he hurriedly waved and greeted them: "Brother, sister-in-law, you are here."

Li Youjie has changed a lot now. He is no longer the country boy he used to be. He has lost his youthfulness and become more mature.

"How about it? How long will it take to complete this?" asked Li Youcai.

"It's basically done. It should be all done in three days. We just need to clean it up and then we can start recruiting investors." Li Youjie replied.

"That's good. We must hurry up with the investment promotion. Have the investment promotion flyers you were asked to print been printed?" Li Youcai asked again.

"The printing factory has reprinted it and you can pick it up tomorrow." Li Youjie said again.

Seeing that his younger brother Li Youjie knew all these things, Li Youcai was still very satisfied.

"As long as you know what's going on, you can continue to be busy. I'll take your sister-in-law to take a look outside."

"Then go slowly, sister-in-law, goodbye."

Li Youcai led Chu Xinyan into the courtyard, then pointed to the west side of the courtyard and said to Chu Xinyan, "When we came here just now, the land that was under construction over there was also bought by me. I plan to build a three-story restaurant there."

"A three-story restaurant? What would that look like?" Chu Xinyan had never seen such a big restaurant, and for a moment she couldn't imagine what the restaurant Li Youcai was talking about looked like.

"What it's like? You'll know when it's built. When these businesses are up and running, money will flow into our house. You can just sit at home and count the money, swish swish swish. You'll be able to count it to your heart's content. Haha..." Li Youcai said with a smile.

"I'm not doing it!" Chu Xinyan looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one was around, she whispered, "Last time you brought back so much money, I was uneasy all year long. I didn't dare leave the house for a single moment, fearing that my house would be robbed. Now you're asking me to do this? I don't want to do it."

"Okay, it's up to you then. I'll take you to the office first. You sit there for a while. I have to go to the credit union later to talk to someone." Li Youcai said to Chu Xinyan.

"Well, if you have something to do, just go. I can do it myself." Chu Xinyan said.

"It's okay, I'll take you there first, and then we'll be in time." Li Youcai sent Chu Xinyan to the office. As soon as he entered the corridor, he saw the girls from the forest farm.

"Hello, Brother Cai!" The girls all greeted Li Youcai.

"This is my wife. You can call her sister-in-law or boss lady if you like." Li Youcai introduced Chu Xinyan to the girls in the forest farm.

Then he said to Chu Xinyan, "They all came from the forest farm and are now receiving pre-job training for waiters. When the big restaurant opens, they will be the waiters of the restaurant."

Chu Xinyan didn't expect there were so many girls here, and she felt a little reserved for a moment: "Hello."

"Hello, lady boss."

It was the first time for those girls to see Chu Xinyan, and they all stared at her with great curiosity.

"Okay, you go ahead."

Li Youcai pushed open the office door and led Chu Xinyan in.

"This whole market belongs to us, so you don't have to be so reserved. Act like a boss lady. If you need anything, just find Youjie and let him handle it for you."

"I'm going to the credit union first. Let's have lunch together at noon."

"Well, you go ahead and do your work. I'm the only one doing this." Chu Xinyan said hurriedly, fearing that she would delay Li Youcai's work.

After Li Youcai left, Chu Xinyan looked around the office. The bedding on the single iron bed was dirty, and a kettle on an iron stove in the middle was steaming.

There were a few cigarette butts in the ashtray on the desk, and a few teacups, but nothing else.

Staying alone in this office, Chu Xinyan felt both happy and a little lost.

The good news is that Li Youcai has turned over a new leaf. Not only has he quit gambling, but his business is also growing bigger and bigger.

What was disappointing was that Chu Xinyan felt like she was useless. She wanted to help Li Youcai share some of the burden, but she didn't know where to start.

At the door, several girls were peeking out and lying on the doorstep to look at Chu Xinyan.

"Boss lady, you are really beautiful."

"Hello." Seeing that it was the girls in the corridor, Chu Xinyan greeted them with a smile.

······

Li Youcai came to the credit union alone.

Because of the last robbery, the credit union has significantly increased its security force from one security guard to three.

After entering the credit union, Li Youcai said to a teller inside, "I'm looking for your president, Peng. I have an appointment with him."

"Wait a moment." The female teller got up and went to the back.

Soon, the security door opened and President Peng of the credit union walked out.

"Hello, President Peng, I'm Li Youcai, and President Wang introduced me here."

"Hello, Mr. Li, let's go sit inside."

Pengfei invited Li Youcai into a reception room and poured a glass of water for Li Youcai.

"Mr. Wang and I have known each other for many years. He briefly told me about your situation. Do you want to apply for a loan?" Peng Fei asked directly.

"Yes, I plan to use a piece of land as collateral and apply for a loan of 4 yuan from you," said Li Youcai.

A loan of 4 is not a small amount here.

Peng Fei looked at Li Youcai in surprise, then asked, "Where is the piece of land you mentioned?"

"It's on Chaoyang Street, the land of the old flour mill is about 20,000 square meters." Li Youcai said.

Pengfei knew the location of the old flour mill.

"If the land is used as collateral, then it's possible. The estimated value of the collateral should be sufficient." Pengfei quickly went over the pros and cons of the matter in his mind.
