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

"What? Auntie, you don't welcome me coming to see you?"

Liang Ming joked with a smile.

“Of course that’s not what I meant,” Liang Juan quickly said.

At this point, she glanced at Liu Guang.

She felt a little embarrassed, since Liu Guang was still helping her with the cleaning at the store.

Although the two have not yet confirmed their relationship, they are already very close.

If nothing unexpected happens, Liang Juan will likely agree to Liu Guang's request in the end.

"Liang Juan, is this the very promising nephew you've always told me about?"

Noticing Liang Juan's gaze, Liu Guang chuckled sheepishly.

At this point, he introduced himself to Liang Ming, saying:

"Hello, my name is Liu Guang, and I'm a friend of your aunt."

"Liang Ming!"

Seeing that Liu Guang had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with him, Liang Ming also extended his hand, shook hands with him, and said:

"You're my aunt's friend, so you're my elder. Should I call you Uncle Liu?"

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Liu Guang was also pleased, as he had feelings for Liang Juan.

The fact that Liang Juan's nephew was willing to address him so intimately meant that he didn't dislike him.

Both he and Liang Juan were in their thirties, and their expressions of affection were not as direct and unrestrained as those of younger people.

If I could get Liang Juan's nephew's support, perhaps the chances of me and Liang Juan ending up together would be much greater.

"of course can!"

"Xiaoming, I often hear your aunt mention you."

Liu Guang smiled and said to Liang Ming:

"You're so young, yet you've already made your first fortune by selling food and mountain products at a stall, and now you're the boss of several factories."

"You're really promising at such a young age! When I was your age, I was just a lowly clerk at the township construction station!"

"After all these years, I've only managed to get the position of office director in the county's urban construction bureau..."

"Uncle Liu, you're from the Urban Construction Bureau? No wonder you don't seem like an ordinary person; you exude an air of nobility."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming gave Liu Guang a thumbs up and said.

The two chatted for a while and quickly became as familiar as old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

Even Liang Juan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Were these two really that close?

"Xiao Ming, I had a very pleasant chat with you today. If it weren't getting late and you had to rush back to the village, I would have liked to have a few drinks with you."

Ten minutes later, Liu Guang held Liang Ming's hand and sighed.

Initially, he talked to Liang Ming only to build a good relationship with him, hoping that Liang Ming could say a few good words for him in front of Liang Juan.

But during those ten minutes of conversation, Liu Guang was surprised to find that this young man was truly extraordinary.

The breadth of knowledge he displayed in his conversation impressed Liu Guangdu.

Even some of the newly recruited college graduate cadres in his workplace might not be as good as him.

If it weren't so late, he really would have liked to find a restaurant with Liang Ming and chat over drinks.

"Uncle Liu, there's plenty of time in the future. Are we, uncle and nephew, afraid of not having enough time to talk?"

Upon hearing Liu Guang's words, Liang Ming glanced at his aunt Liang Juan standing to the side and then spoke to Liu Guang.

Although it was only a ten-minute conversation, Liang Ming gained some understanding of Liu Guang's character.

This man, just as the information Director Qian Jian helped investigate, was indeed an honest and simple person.

From now on, Aunt Liang Juan will be with him and shouldn't be bullied.

"Xiao Ming is right." Liu Guang understood Liang Ming's implication and smiled as he spoke.

Seeing Liu Guang and Liang Ming's riddle-like words, Liang Juan felt a little embarrassed.

She said to Liu Guang, "I've almost finished cleaning my shop, you can go back now."

"Oh, okay." Hearing Liang Juan's dismissal, Liu Guang quickly nodded and said, "Then I'll come again tomorrow."

Seeing Liu Guang's obedient appearance, Liang Ming chuckled inwardly.

"Wait a minute." Just as Liu Guang put down the broom and was about to leave, Liang Juan called out to him again.

"Xiao Juan, is there anything else?" Liu Guang stopped and turned to look at her, asking.

"You don't need to bring rice and vegetables tomorrow at noon. I have some at my shop. I'll cook some food, and you can eat with me."

Liang Juan glanced somewhat embarrassedly at Liang Ming beside her, and then said to Liu Guang.

Upon hearing Liang Juan's words, Liu Guang was overjoyed and quickly nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, then I'll just bring my lunchbox over tomorrow."

Although my workplace has a canteen, the food there is nowhere as delicious as this braised duck from this stall.

"We also need to bring money!" Liang Juan added.

"Huh?" Liu Guang was taken aback.

"What, you want me to treat you to braised duck?" Liang Juan retorted.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guang quickly replied, "No, no, the braised duck is on me, it's on me."

Seeing Liu Guang fawning over his aunt, Liang Ming barely suppressed a laugh.

It seems there's no need to worry about my aunt being bullied for the rest of her life.

After Liu Guang left, Liang Ming also drove his aunt back to Liangjia Village.

Dinner was ready in the courtyard and placed on a small table.

"Son, why are you and your aunt coming back so late? There were a lot of customers in the shop."

When Li Lan saw that Liang Ming and her sister-in-law Liang Juan had returned so late, she couldn't help but ask.

"I ran into Uncle Liu Guang at my aunt's shop and chatted with him for a bit..."

Liang Ming said with a smile.

"Xiaoming, you..."

Liang Juan felt a little embarrassed when she saw Liang Ming and he wanted to talk about Liu Guang.

"Uncle Liu Guang?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Min and his wife were stunned for a few seconds.

Soon, they realized it was the suitor who often helped out at Liang Juan's shop.

"Big brother, did you see Aunt's suitor?"

Liang Jing asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"What suitors? Don't talk nonsense." Liang Juan was a little embarrassed.

"Son, what's Liu Guang like?" Li Lan asked with a smile.

Liang Ming did not hide anything and told Liu Guang the details of their conversation at his aunt's braised duck shop.

Finally, he concluded, "That Uncle Liu Guang is indeed a good person, and most importantly, he listens to his aunt!"

"If I really end up with my aunt, I won't be afraid that she will be bullied."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Liang Min and his wife smiled and nodded in unison, saying, "That's good!"

"That's good!"

Seeing her brother and sister-in-law's reaction, Liang Juan became even more embarrassed.

After dinner, Liang Ming went back to his room to rest.

Silent all night.

The next day, Liang Ming spent the morning in the village checking on the construction progress of the new house.

I went up the mountain again to check on the chickens, the condition of the medicinal fields where Ama and the others were growing gastrodia elata and ginseng, and the progress of Ama's fishpond dredging.

It wasn't until almost noon that we finally drove to Liangji Bicycle Factory in the county town.

Qin Fen and several factory executives were already anxiously waiting at the entrance.

Several brand-new fixed-gear bicycles were placed on the back of the tractor and covered with red cloth.

"Boss Liang, you've finally arrived! It's almost noon, let's get going."

Upon seeing Liang Ming arrive, Qin Fen said somewhat anxiously:

"If we don't go to the county supply and marketing cooperative soon, the Second Sports Equipment Factory will use our products to compete."

Seeing Qin Fen's anxious expression, Liang Ming chuckled:

"Director Qin, don't worry. True gold fears no fire. Even if they start the competition, the quality of our factory's fixed-gear bicycles is still top-notch!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fen's expression turned somewhat grim, and he said to Liang Ming in a deep voice:

"Boss Liang, a friend of mine who still works at the Second Sports Equipment Factory secretly told me that the new factory manager and the new director of the logistics department seem to be plotting something."

"We need to get to the scene quickly, lest they scheme against us!"
