"How about this, little aunt," Chen Lu said loudly, "I'll invest in building a new hospital. What do you say, you be the院长 (dean)?"
"Lulu, don't take it seriously. I was just joking with Cheng Feng. You introducing me to this director, I'm already worried I won't do a good job, and you want me to be a dean..."
After ending the call, Chen Lu sent me another message, asking me to take a look at the man in the black suit in the passenger seat.
I said, "He looks very handsome. What's up?"
Chen Lu said, "His name is Zhou Tong. He's my cousin and also a shareholder in our company. He owns several companies, with a net worth of not too high, but around two to three hundred million. Most importantly, he has an excellent character. He's already thirty-three and has never been in a relationship. He was studying life sciences overseas before. Perhaps you and your little aunt can find some common ground."
I immediately understood Chen Lu's intentions. I started chatting with the man in the black suit in the passenger seat, steering the conversation towards life sciences and medicine. After that, my little aunt and he connected automatically and chatted the entire way.
When we arrived, my little aunt had even forgotten about my existence. She was beaming, almost ready to go home with him directly.
I smiled helplessly, pulled my little aunt over, and whispered, "Little aunt, mind your image. Be more reserved."
"Oh my...!" My little aunt patted my shoulder. "Reserved? Can reserve be exchanged for money? Can reserve be eaten?"
I rolled my eyes. How did I end up with such an unreserved relative?
I got out of the car with Zhou Tong, but Chen Lu called, saying her dad hadn't returned home yet. I said we could go check out the villa rented for my little aunt first.
It wasn't far from here. Upon entering the villa, which was a detached house, its exterior was simple, but the interior was a hidden gem. As we went in, there was a small path leading directly to the basement, a space like a warehouse. There was a large storage room with fine wines, and a small laboratory whose purpose was unknown.
"This is a villa under the Chen Corporation," Zhou Tong introduced. "The renovation materials inside were all imported from abroad, costing over 25 million yuan in total."
My little aunt swallowed, "The renovation is more expensive than the villa... How much is the rent? I can't afford anything too expensive."
"Don't worry, the rent is the same as an ordinary residence in the same area, 2500 yuan per month, including water, electricity, and heating," Zhou Tong said.
To be honest, if it were before, my little aunt wouldn't even accept this price, mainly considering saving money for me. But now, I had grown up, and she finally dared to spend money on herself. She hesitantly agreed, and even quietly asked me if I wanted to come and live with her, saying it would be a waste for her to live in such a large room alone.
I waved my hand, "I have plenty of places to live. You don't need to worry about me. Just make sure you're comfortable living here."
Leaving Zhou Tong to introduce the new house to my little aunt, I returned to Chen Lu's home with the fox spirit. Her dad still hadn't returned. I went to visit her bedroom first. After my visit, Chen Lu's father "timely" returned.
During a simple yet elegant family lunch, Chen Jianguo "reported" on the group's recent work. With Shabia as their backing, although the group's book capital hadn't significantly increased, the "opportunities" had become much more abundant. Merchants from within the province had already started approaching the Chen family for cooperation.
"Cheng Feng, do you have any instructions for us this time?" Chen Jianguo asked with a smile.
"Uncle, you jest. How dare I instruct you? But I do have an idea. It's like this, I want to buy a piece of land and start a pharmaceutical company. I plan to invest capital to establish a company focusing on the pharmaceutical industry. What do you think?" I explained the idea I had on the way. I felt that my little aunt, as an attending physician, was a bit mismatched with Zhou Tong. If it were a hospital, as my little aunt said, she couldn't run it alone; it required experience. So, as a compromise, a pharmaceutical company would be suitable and wouldn't deviate too far from her profession.
Chen Jianguo pondered for a moment. "I do have some friends in this area who can help with contacts. Don't worry about the capital; I'll handle it."
"Then thank you, Uncle Chen," I said. "My company doesn't need to be too large. We can focus on basic medical equipment and some other pharmaceutical businesses. We'll take it slow."
"No problem at all," Uncle Chen said with a smile.
After resolving my little aunt's "worries," at three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Lu, the fox spirit, and I took the high-speed train to Fucheng. We met Song Miaomiao for dinner and encouraged her to study hard. With only six months left until the college entrance examination, Song Miaomiao's grades were average. She would have no problem getting into a university within the province. As for after graduation, there was no need for her to worry at all; Chen Lu could easily arrange something.
