Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 248 Establishing the Huacheng Branch Company

"Oh dear, I appreciate all the kindness from my uncles and aunts. This old house really does need a proper renovation. However, it's too much trouble for everyone to do it all. Relying solely on the villagers' help would be too much of a burden."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiandong quickly waved his hand and laughed heartily:

“It’s no trouble at all! Compared to all the benefits you’ve brought to everyone, this little thing is nothing. Everyone in the village, young and old, is truly grateful to you and has been looking for an opportunity to repay you. So, please don’t refuse; just let everyone handle it. When you return to the village with Fangfang and the children next time, you can move directly into the newly renovated old house! It’s settled then, we’ll take care of it!”

Just as the two were talking, they heard cheerful footsteps coming from the kitchen. Then, a steaming pot of braised pork, with an enticing color, was steadily placed on the table.

In an instant, the rich and mellow aroma of meat spread rapidly like an invisible torrent, filling the entire room.

The table where the children were immediately erupted in excited cheers, especially Xiao Bin, whose eyes were wide open as he stared intently at the pot of braised pork, swallowing his saliva incessantly, looking adorably drooling.

Upon seeing this, the adults couldn't help but laugh, their laughter echoing throughout the room.

For a moment, the room was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

"Zhaoyuan! My son, Gou Dan, has really done well this time! He actually got into Beijing Normal University! He'll be heading to Beijing to register in September. Once he gets there, I'll have to trouble you to look after him."

With a broad smile, Gou Dan's father, Zhao Sanhai, picked up his wine glass, walked up to Zhao Yuan, and respectfully toasted him.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan quickly stood up to greet him, took the wine glass, and said with a smile:

"Wow, Gou Dan is really something! Getting into Beijing Normal University is quite an achievement. Congratulations! Don't worry, Gou Dan, just come and find us when you get to Beijing."

At this moment, Zhao Jiandong, who was standing to the side, asked curiously:

"By the way, which university did Zhao Di apply to for the college entrance examination this year?"

Before Zhao Yuan could answer, Er Ya, who was standing next to him, couldn't wait to interject:

"If we're talking about the most outstanding person in our village, it has to be Zhao Zhaodi! She got into a university in Beijing, she's a real academic superstar!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and then they all showed expressions of envy and admiration.

Zhao Jiandong slapped his thigh excitedly and shouted:

"Oh my, this is truly a joyous occasion! Beijing University is the most prestigious university in China. Getting into it is like having one's ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke! Zhao Zhaodi has really brought great honor to our Zhao Family Village and is definitely the pride of our village! Come on, everyone, let's raise a glass and celebrate for Zhaodi!"

In an instant, the whole room was filled with laughter and blessings.

After a satisfying meal, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi smiled and waved goodbye to everyone.

Everyone warmly saw them off for a long distance, until the car gradually disappeared from sight before slowly turning away.

Zhao Yuan drove his car smoothly on the road to the Jinyang County Hotel.

The father and daughter were in high spirits throughout the journey, chatting and laughing.

Looking at his daughter, who had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, Zhao Yuan felt a surge of pride and asked softly:

"Zhaodi, it's been so long since you've seen your family and friends back home. How do you feel about coming back this time?"

Zhao Zhaodi turned her head slightly, gazing at the receding scenery outside the window, her thoughts drifting away.

After thinking for a moment, she replied:

"Dad, when we were little, we all played together, and there wasn't much difference between us. But as we grew older, everyone went down different paths in life, experiencing their own unique stories. Even so, because we grew up together, that bond is still very special. By the way, Dad, will our old house be rebuilt?"

Hearing his daughter's question, Zhaoyuan nodded and said firmly:

"Yes, the old house definitely needs to be rebuilt. Once you children have all grown up, your mother and I plan to move back to Zhaojia Village to live permanently. After all, this is our root, and we still have so many businesses here that need to be managed!"

And so, the father and daughter chatted idly about everyday matters, reminiscing about the past. Before they knew it, the car had arrived at its destination—the Jinyang County Hotel.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the thin clouds, casting a golden veil over the entire city.

Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi packed their luggage and set off on their journey to Huacheng with high spirits.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jiefang and Mu Bin had already arrived in Huacheng a few days earlier and were waiting at Huacheng Airport.

After the flight carrying Zhao Yuan and his daughter landed smoothly, Zhou Jiefang and Fu Bolin, the head of the Zhao Group's Huacheng office, quickly went to greet them.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two parties walked out of the waiting hall together, got into a car, and headed towards the city center...

In the car, Fu Bolin reported to Zhao Yuan on the current market situation in Huacheng and some potential business opportunities.

Zhao Yuan listened attentively, occasionally asking a few key questions.

Zhao Zhaodi gazed curiously at the bustling street scene outside the car window, filled with anticipation for this vibrant city.

After arriving at the booked hotel and resting briefly, Zhao Yuan immediately began inspecting the preparation sites of "Zhao's Kitchen Catering Co., Ltd." and "Zhao's Real Estate Development Co., Ltd." in Huacheng.

He carefully examined every detail, sternly pointing out any non-compliance and demanding rectification.

Zhaoyuan conducted a detailed review and rigorous assessment of the staffing of "Zhaoshi Kitchen Catering Co., Ltd. Huacheng Branch" and "Zhaoshi Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. Huacheng Branch", and conducted a detailed inspection of the company's various rules and regulations...

Zhao Zhaodi followed behind Zhao Yuan, silently watching him handle company affairs.

After a busy day at work, it was already evening. Zhao Yuan took Zhao Zhaodi and the middle and senior management staff of the Huacheng branch to dinner.

During the meal, Zhao Yuan was filled with emotion. He told Zhao Di about the difficulties of starting a business and hoped that she would study hard and achieve something in the future.

Zhao Di nodded obediently, indicating that she would definitely try her best.

At night, Zhao Yuan stood by the hotel window, gazing at the brightly lit city of Guangzhou, silently planning his future.
