1994: From a young man from a small town to a second-generation resident of Shanghai

Guo Yougang wanted to befriend Chen Yong, so he found a decent restaurant.

"Mr. Chen, a returned overseas student like you probably doesn't drink baijiu (Chinese liquor), right?"

"Director Guo, I usually drink red wine."

"Oh? What kind of red wine do you usually drink?"

"The world's best red wines come from the Château Lafite Rothschild region in France, where the climate is ideal and produces wines with a full-bodied flavor. The second best is Burgundy."

Upon hearing that Chen Yong was drinking red wine, Guo Yougang ordered three bottles and poured them for Chen Yong and Xiao Hong.

It's a bit of a shame that Xiao Hong wasn't dressed nicely today.

However, he didn't say much. He invited President Chen to dinner because he wanted to befriend him, in case he needed his help in the future.

Chen Yong thought he would only work there for six months at most before running away.

I'm working so hard now, putting in all my effort, just to make the stage look more authentic.

What he said is true, of course, but it will take at least a few months to see results.

By the time they realized what was happening, they had already disappeared into the vast crowd.

Guo Yougang is a heavy drinker; three bottles of red wine are not enough for him.

To appease this money-making patron, Chen Yong drank quite a bit.

Although Xiao Hong drank little, she still had two cups. She couldn't hold her liquor and was already feeling dizzy.

It was only when Chen Yong took the initiative to leave that he was able to escape Guo Yougang's urging to drink.

Xiao Hong is drunk now, and he still needs to take her back.

Chen Yong helped Xiao Hong into the car, patted her pretty face, and said, "Xiao Hong, where do you live? I'll take you home."

"Home? I can't go home today!"

Chen Hong spoke in a daze, her words unclear.

"Where else would you go if not home?" He couldn't possibly take Xiao Hong home with him; his aunt wouldn't be able to sleep there.

Even if she can fall asleep, we can't take her back.

Chen Yong now regrets letting Xiao Hong drink; she shielded him from two drinks, otherwise Chen Yong would definitely have let Guo Yougang get him drunk too.

These first-generation entrepreneurs are all really good drinkers; I'll have to be careful in the future.

"Mr. Chen, please take me to a hotel room."

Chen Yong was stunned. What kind of inappropriate words were these? He was going to take her to a hotel room?

"If I go home this drunk, my family will definitely scold me, so I'll have to sleep outside for the night."

"Oh~"

So that's how it is. Chen Yong thought Xiao Hong was going to offer herself up.

However, this woman is so beautiful, if he were to offer himself to her, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist.

Chen Yong drove to the hotel and booked a room.

The regulations on hotel rooms are not that strict now; you can book a room as long as you pay.

Chen Yong carried Xiao Hong's body, which reeked of alcohol, to the bed, took off her shoes and coat, covered her with a blanket, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, two soft hands wrapped around him from behind, and Xiao Hong's head rubbed against his back.

"Mr. Chen, please don't leave!"

Is this woman faking being drunk? Or is she just speaking the truth after drinking?

"Mr. Chen, I like you."

"Although I've never been in a relationship before, I know you've already attracted me. Can you stay with me?"

It was definitely drunken ramblings, but since Xiao Hong had taken such the initiative, what reason did he have not to be serious?

He doesn't have to take responsibility!

Chen Yong turned around, bit Xiao Hong's neck, and began to greedily suck the scent from her body.

For the first time, his hand touched Xiao Hong's crescent moon. He had been thinking about her ever since he first met her.

…………

Chen Yong was delayed at the hotel for two hours. It was his first time, so he was inevitably a little excited. Xiao Hong was still a virgin, and he was reluctant to leave, so he slept a little longer.

A small note was left for Xiao Hong on the table.

Before leaving, he even took a shower so that his aunt wouldn't find out.

When I got home, I inevitably got a scolding from my aunt: "Where have you been! I was going to take you out for dinner tonight! But you're still not back."

"Auntie, I had dinner with a client and was a little late."

"You actually have clients? You reek of alcohol. You've been drinking? Confess, where did these clients come from? You weren't out with women, were you?"

Chen Fang smelled not only alcohol on him, but also a woman's perfume.

Her nose is incredibly sensitive! Even if Chen Yong wanted to hide it, he couldn't!

"A factory from Xihu City asked me for ideas and then treated me to dinner."

"People from the factory coming to you for ideas? Is that even possible?"

"How is that impossible? I've already made 50,000 yuan from them, and another 50,000 yuan hasn't been transferred yet."

Chen Yong dared not say more, fearing that Chen Fang would call the police.

Earning 25 in one go is terrifying.

However, even 100,000 yuan scared Chen Fang. She hadn't even given Chen Yong 50,000 yuan yet.

I spent a huge sum of 48 yuan to buy him a car.

"You little brat, you even lied to your aunt!" Chen Fang angrily grabbed his ear, making Chen Yong stand on tiptoe in pain. Just then, Chen Fang was wearing a loose-fitting nightgown with a low neckline and the top button undone.

Chen Yong saw it by accident.

It's even fuller than Xiao Hong's.

"Auntie, your collar is unbuttoned."

Chen Fang still wouldn't let go, "Anyway, we're family, it's no big deal if you see it! We've already slept in the same bed."

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense! I didn't do anything!"

"Don't change the subject. Quickly tell me honestly about your business venture. Stop bragging."

"Then loosen your grip first."

Chen Fang temporarily bypassed him and heard from Chen Yong that he had indeed earned 5 yuan, and that it was in his possession.

"You really made money? Auntie isn't dreaming, is she?"

"No, I have to pinch it."

It was Chen Yong who cried out in pain, "Why did you pinch me!"

"Because I'm afraid of pain!"

"..."

Chen Yong placed the 50,000 yuan he had just earned in front of Chen Fang, which confirmed to her that Chen Yong seemed to have really made money.

She made 50,000 yuan in one go, but the guy refused to tell her what he was doing, always saying it was a trade secret and that it wasn't anything criminal.

Chen Yongqian's business is essentially just a consulting firm that has been given the added pretense of an award.

Many people have played this game: one party is willing to hit, and the other party is willing to be hit.

"No wonder he's my brother's son, he's good at making money—"

Chen Fang quickly stopped herself from saying it, almost letting it slip.

"Auntie, my dad isn't as good as me. I'm better than him now."

"I'm planning to send them 20,000 yuan tomorrow. Is that alright?"

"You're such a filial child. You earned the money yourself, so you can spend it however you want."

"My aunt is so good to me, I definitely need to discuss this with you."

Chen Fang was deeply moved. Chen Yong was filial, grateful, and truly a good child. She felt she hadn't spoiled him in vain.

…………

After returning home, Guo Yougang took the management system that Chen Yong had written for him and went to a university in their provincial capital to find a professor specializing in the relevant field.

Bashu University is also a national key university.

After the reform and opening up, there were 88 key universities, all of which later became 211 key universities.

Professor Zhang Jianqiang of the School of Management at Bashu University was greatly surprised after seeing Guo Yougang's management system. "Who did you have write your management system? This person is very capable. I am ashamed of my own abilities."

"If Professor Zhang approves of someone who studied abroad, then I'm relieved."

"Could you introduce me to him?" Zhang Jianqiang felt a surge of excitement. Getting to know such a talented person and learning a thing or two would be very beneficial for him. Those who return from overseas really do have some skills!

Knowledge can only be gained through exchange.

"Well... I don't know if he'll agree, and Mr. Chen is in Shanghai, which is quite far from here."

"Shanghai, give me an address. I'll definitely visit him when I have time to go to Shanghai."

Guo Yougang did Chen Yong a favor by giving him his office address.
