Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

Seeing Captain Zheng's sharp gaze, Wang Jiu knew what he was thinking, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he said:

"You can handle it yourselves, just pay attention to the dimensions."

"Yes, Chief Wang!"

……

On the way back to Liangjia Village, Liang Jing expressed her gratitude to Wang Jiu:

"Uncle Wang, thank you so much for coming today, otherwise I don't know how I would have gotten out of this situation..."

Hearing Liang Jing's words, Wang Jiu felt embarrassed and said, "Xiao Jing, if you say that again, I'll be so ashamed I'll want to disappear."

"I've managed the security in the village so badly that I'm ashamed to be the station chief."

“Brother Wang, the security in the village has improved a lot now, and it will definitely get better and better in the future. Don’t worry about what happened today.”

Liang Ming, who was standing to the side, said to Wang Jiu.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Wang Jiu's expression softened somewhat.

At this point, Liang Jing changed the subject and asked Liang Ming:

"Brother, what brings you here to pick me up today?"

"The college entrance exam is just a few months away. As your older brother, is it wrong for me to show concern for your studies?"

Liang Ming asked with a smile.

He said this, but his gaze was somewhat profound.

In his previous life, after Liang Ming and Song Mei got married, everything changed in their family.

Not only were her parents' savings squeezed out by Song Mei, but her younger sister, Liang Jing, was also secretly sent by Song Mei to live in the village middle school.

The student dormitory conditions at the rural middle school were very poor, and my younger sister, Liang Jing, couldn't get used to living there. She didn't sleep well, which affected her academic performance, and she naturally failed the college entrance examination.

In her past life, her younger sister Liang Jing failed to get into her ideal university, Handong University of Political Science and Law. She was depressed for several years during her university years, and then one wrong step led to another.

In this life, Liang Ming will ensure his sister has no regrets about her college entrance exams...

"You know my academic performance; getting into university is a piece of cake for me."

Liang Jing said with a confident expression.

Hearing his sister's words, Liang Ming smiled and nodded:

"I know about your grades!"

"But studying requires using your brain. In the next few months, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

Hearing her brother's words, Liang Jing smiled broadly and said, "Thank you, brother."

As they spoke, the three of them had already returned to Liangjia Village.

"Little sister, pour Brother Wang a glass of water. I'm going into the kitchen to make dinner."

After returning home, Liang Ming asked Liang Jing to entertain Wang Jiu while he went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Since it's a celebration of Wang Jiu's promotion, the dishes should naturally have auspicious meanings.

Let's start with "Great Roc Spreading Its Wings" (braised chicken wings) and "Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate" (sweet and sour carp).

Then, let's have a "Soaring to Success" (braised pig's feet) and a "Prosperous Journey" (stir-fried mixed vegetables).

Finally, let's have a "Soaring to the Clouds" (vegetable and meatball soup).

With chicken, fish, vegetables, and soup, this rural promotion banquet was all set up.

"It's time to eat."

When Liang Ming finished cooking dinner and came out, Liang Min and her husband, along with her aunt Liang Juan, had already returned and were chatting with Wang Jiu.

After seeing that Liang Ming had prepared dinner, Li Lan warmly greeted Wang Jiu, saying:

"Director Wang, the food my son Xiaoming cooks is so delicious, even the chefs at restaurants can't compare to him. You'd better make sure you eat your fill tonight."

"Mom, Uncle Wang isn't a duck. If you fill his stomach too much, he'll get sick."

Liang Jing, who was standing to the side, said with a smile.

Everyone burst into laughter at this remark.

Everyone sat around the small dining table in the courtyard, enjoying the delicious food.

"Brother Liang, if it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to improve. I, Wang Jiu, owe you a huge favor!"

Seeing that Liang Ming had almost finished eating, Wang Jiu picked up his wine glass and said with a grateful expression:

"This glass of wine is for you."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming quickly raised his wine glass and said, "Brother Wang, you are a good comrade and you are willing to do things for the people."

"Otherwise, even if I have some good suggestions, it won't help if you don't take them to heart."

"So your progress today is all due to your own efforts, and has nothing to do with me."

Liang Ming's words were not insincere; he genuinely believed that Wang Jiu was a trustworthy person, which was why he helped him in this way.

Seeing Liang Ming's humility, Wang Jiu felt even more that this young man had a bright future ahead of him.

After clinking glasses, the two drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother Wang, it's already May, and the rainy season is just around the corner. It seems there are many hillsides to the north of our Taoyuan Township?"

At this moment, Liang Ming suddenly thought of something and asked Wang Jiu.

Wang Jiu was taken aback upon hearing this.

He didn't understand why Liang Ming suddenly brought this up.

"Brother Liang, you mean..."

Liang Ming didn't say it directly, but shook his head and said, "Brother Wang, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. There are some things you have to figure out for yourself."

Seeing Liang Ming acting strangely, Wang Jiu had no choice but to start thinking about it seriously on his own.

rainy season?

hillside?

In just three breaths, Wang Jiu woke up with a start and said to Liang Ming:

"Brother Liang, you mean to say..."

Liang Ming waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Brother Wang, some things are better left unsaid. If you understand them, just prepare in advance."

"After all, it's something that might not happen. If you bring it up, it will hinder your progress."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Wang Jiu also realized what was happening and nodded, saying:

"Brother Liang, I'll remember this."

"Whether this happens or not, I will remember your kindness."

Liang Ming waved his hand and said, "We're all friends, what's all this talk about feelings?"

Seeing Liang Ming and Wang Jiu chatting like they were speaking in cryptic language, Liang Jing looked puzzled:

"Brother, what are you and Uncle Wang talking about? What rainy season, hillside..."

Liang Ming and Wang Jiu exchanged a glance and said in unison:

"Don't worry about children's business."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jing pouted immediately: "Fine, don't tell me then, I don't care to hear it."

Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner very much.

……

At the home of Li Jin, the principal of the county's No. 1 Middle School.

"Cousin, did you call me over tonight because the school cafeteria renovation project has been approved and I'm going to work on it?"

Li Jin's cousin, Li Fu, said with a big smile.

However, Li Fu was a burly man with thick eyebrows, a face full of pockmarks, and a somewhat fierce and ugly smile.

Hearing his cousin Li Fu's hopeful words, Li Jin hesitated for a moment.

But remembering what Liang Ming had told him, Li Jin said seriously:

“Cousin Li Fu, we can’t give you the renovation and expansion project for the school cafeteria at our county’s No. 1 Middle School directly.”

"The school is planning to hold a public tender. If you want to do this project, you have to participate in the bidding process, just like other construction teams."

Upon hearing this, Li Fu's smile froze:

"Cousin, you're kidding me, right?"

Li Jin stared directly at Li Fu without saying a word.

"Li Fu then realized that Li Jin was not joking, and his expression turned rather unpleasant. He said: "

"Cousin, how could you go back on your word? You clearly promised to do it for me."

At this point, he looked directly at Li Jin and asked, "Did someone say something to you?"

Li Fu knew very well that his construction team would not be qualified if the bidding process were conducted normally.

"You don't need to know that," Li Jin said after a second of silence.

Seeing his cousin's reaction, Li Fu knew...

Someone must be talking badly about his construction team behind his back!

A wicked person's path to wealth is like killing their parents!

Li Fu cursed inwardly, "Once I find out who's been talking badly about me, I'll kill them!"
