Chen Pingan rubbed his face and said, "Not really. This is a normal business investment after all!"

Chen Xiaolong lit a cigarette and said, "Don't ever think that cooperation with the Huo family is real cooperation.

You already know that our family does not touch docks and ports.

Uncle also said that it was right not to touch the port terminal, so there must be other things here that your father or my father doesn’t know.

I guess my uncle doesn't know either, he might just have a guess."

Chen Pingan took a few steps back and said, "I'm very curious. You act like you know everything, but if I ask you, you will definitely say you know nothing.

My dad said you were once a genius, why did you go to study abroad?

I know you have another company abroad, and judging from the data, it's doing pretty well.

How many things about you are there that I don’t know?”

His expression was sincere; he really wanted to know.

Chen Xiaolong waved his hand, "Oh, what genius? Listen to my dad bragging outside.

As for the company, it's not mine at all.

I'm just a figurehead, but actually the business operations are managed by my fifth uncle.

I'm just responsible for eating, drinking, having fun, picking up girls, playing games, etc."

Chen Pingan opened the window to dissipate the smell of smoke.

"I remember asking you last time what you were best at, and you haven't answered me yet."

Chen Xiaolong blinked and asked with a smile, "I still remember what you are good at. Your memory is far beyond that of ordinary people. Also, you said you are good at the financial market.

I heard this from my dad.

He's seen your deal...

I heard him say, "You are quite good, can you show me?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "Unless you tell me what you are good at, I will know how I should cooperate with you."

Chen Xiaolong scratched his head, looking embarrassed, "There's nothing particularly outstanding about me.

It means doing things more seriously.

If that counts, then I am good at what I do?"

"Are you trying to fool me?" Chen Pingan was a little unhappy. "I'm talking to you sincerely. What kind of attitude is this?"

Chen Xiaolong smiled and said, "What I said is true. It's just that I don't have any obvious shortcomings."

This was when Chen Pingan was truly shocked.

There is no such thing as a person without shortcomings!

"I don't believe it!" he said bluntly.

"Everyone has shortcomings and weaknesses. In other words, even if you are excellent in all aspects, you will always have weaknesses. So I don't believe what you said about having no shortcomings."

Chen Xiaolong sighed and said seriously: "I agree with you.

I don’t have any obvious shortcomings, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have any shortcomings.

So don't think too highly of me, or I'm worried you might feel inferior."

He took a puff of his cigarette and continued, “This evaluation is not given by me.

My dad said that.

Why else do you think I ran away?

He wanted to train me to be the head of the family, but hearing his monks chanting gave me a headache, so I had no choice but to go abroad."

"I've never met the Fifth Uncle you're talking about. Can you tell me about him?"

Chen Pingan spoke out after thinking about this topic.

Chen Xiaolong shook his head and said, "There's nothing much to say. His affairs are not something I can talk about.

When you have time, ask your uncle yourself. If you ask me, I just don’t know.”

This answer immediately made Chen Ping'an's brain start to work like crazy.

He only knew the name Chen Shaoliang and nothing else.

"Never mind, I'm just asking out of curiosity, nothing else." He explained.

Chen Xiaolong nodded, put the cigarette butt into the ashtray and turned to go into the bathroom.

……

In the hotel room, Huo Zhinian had just spoken to Huo Zhiqiang on the phone.

He had never been to Yun Province before and didn't know much about the situation here.

However, since he came here on behalf of his second brother, he would definitely not make decisions on his own.

Small things don’t matter. When it comes to real investment matters, he is just paving the way and laying the foundation.

Tomorrow's plan is to visit the local government, and more importantly, to meet my third brother-in-law Chen Shaoying.

Outsiders are unaware of this relationship.

But if he revealed his identity as a member of the Huo family, I believe that after the leader of the investment promotion department reported it, the people above would naturally understand.

What's more, after this inspection is completed and my brother-in-law returns to report on his work, he might come to Yunnan Province to become the main boss?

This is a necessary step to go further.

So, although it was the Chen family who proposed to invest this time, the premise for the second brother to agree was also because of the third sister.

Now that Chen Shaoying has made it, how can Huo Sinan be left behind?

By this time, the effect of the marriage that year had become apparent.

This is something that no one in the Chen family or the Huo family can deny.

It is difficult to say who is taking advantage of whom, but there is definitely mutual benefit.

Huo Zhinian also knew that if it weren't for his brother-in-law being here, and the Chen family's intention, and the current rumors, these factors combined together would have led to this cooperation.

He went to rest after talking to his second brother on the phone.

On the other side, Chen Shaohua went directly to the hotel where Chen Shaoying was staying.

The two brothers haven't seen each other for many years.

If he hadn't returned to the capital, Chen Shaohua might not have known that his elder brother had come to Yuncheng.

Moreover, he has a distinguished status.

Chen Shaoying was not surprised at all that Chen Shaohua called and said he wanted to come over and have a chat.

If Chen Shaohua does not use his elder brother, who is currently one of the biggest influencers in Yun Province, his ability will be limited.

He might even talk to his third brother at the right time and ask Chen Shaohua to stop thinking about becoming the head of the family.

The two brothers talked in the room until late at night, and Chen Shaohua stayed in the hotel that day.

Early the next morning, Chen Pingan and Chen Xiaolong did not receive any tasks.

The local investment promotion managers, urban construction departments, government departments, etc. who had been contacted in advance are all in place. Today is the first formal meeting between the two sides.

Little Karami is not qualified to go on stage, and the investors and local real bosses will not come out at this time.

The process is also very simple.

The investor should produce a project proposal and, if there is any other information, produce it together.

At the local level, it’s a matter of listening, watching, expressing welcome but with reservations.

Neither of them even qualified to be accompanied, so they had to act on their own.

So, when the main members of the Chen and Huo families brought professionals to report to the leaders, Chen Pingan and Chen Xiaolong had already arrived at their former home.

Early in the morning, there is usually a beautiful scene in old communities.

A group of old men and women came out to bask in the sun.

Especially in old neighborhoods like this where the residents haven't changed for decades.

Chen Pingan took Chen Xiaolong away from the old people, went upstairs and opened the door.

Chen Xiaolong did not show any surprise at this.

Chen Ping'an turned on the power and started doing some simple cleaning.

"Don't you find it strange that our family lives in this kind of neighborhood?"

Chen Xiaolong took a look and said calmly, "What's the big deal? There are old residential areas in Beijing too. In those old courtyards, each person only has three or two square meters on average.

You have quite a spacious place here.

Even in Europe, not everyone owns their own house!"
