Chapter 452 Comrades-in-Arms?!
Zhou Huaibin asked,
"Yuemin, how did you manage to get the advertisement onto the Spring Festival Gala stage? That's the national television station."
Zhong Yuemin smiled,
“Brother, I’m providing the costumes for free, so they don’t have to spend a single penny. Why wouldn’t they be willing? Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala; they’re actually quite poor with limited funds. My free sponsorship is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.”
"Will this work?" the sister-in-law asked.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you all just say the host's clothes were nice?!"
Zhong Yuemin said,
"For the first Spring Festival Gala, tonight on New Year's Eve, there are probably millions of families like us who will gather together to eat New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Gala. If even 1% of them have the intention to buy tickets, I can make a fortune."
Everyone thought about it and agreed, praising Yuemin for his intelligence.
Zhou Huaibin couldn't help but ask,
"Yuemin, we all know you have businesses in Hong Kong Island. What kind of businesses are you doing there now? How large are they?"
This is something everyone is concerned about, and they all cast curious glances at it.
Zhong Yuemin looked at his wife and asked, "Didn't you tell our parents, my older brother, and my second older brother?"
"I won't talk nonsense!" Xiaobai shook her head. "I'm not going to keep it a secret."
He couldn't help but smile; she was surprisingly obedient.
“Our parents, eldest brother and second brother are not outsiders, it’s okay. I have involvement in real estate, construction, television stations, entertainment in Hong Kong Island... I personally have assets of two or three billion.”
"How many?!"
I said dollars!
Everyone was astonished, including Xiaobai. They knew he was rich, but they never imagined he was this rich!
"Oh my God!"
It took Chen Yijun a while to react, "Yuemin, how...how did you earn so much money?"
"Mom, I've been fortunate to live in such a good time!" I didn't say much more, nor could I.
"Nothing can happen, right?"
"No, the policies will only become more and more open in the future. I'm starting to gradually move my business to the mainland now. In the future, our country will become the most important economy in the world. When the time is right, I'll take my parents, my older brother, my second older brother... and you all to Hong Kong Island for a trip."
Zhou Zhennan said,
"Old Zhong, you've raised a fine son!"
The two clinked glasses again!
On New Year's Eve, after midnight, firecrackers went off one after another outside. Zhong Yuemin and Xiaobai were already in bed; the children were fast asleep.
The daughter-in-law's face was flushed, and her breathing was disordered; clearly,
Having just survived a major battle, she nestled against the man's chest.
"There's no peace and quiet even on New Year's Eve!" Yet, his words were full of satisfaction.
"New year, new look, let's set a good example."
"They always find excuses!"

During the first month of the lunar calendar, it's time to visit relatives. In the latter half, I had a good get-together with a bunch of buddies including Kuiyong, Jianguo, Ermao, and Ningqun.
Kui Yong, Er Mao, and others returned to Beijing from northern Shaanxi a few years ago. Kui Yong has now found a job driving a taxi, a good job, better than that of an ordinary worker.
"Yuemin, I have to thank you properly for making me able to drive a taxi."
"Thank me? I didn't help at all, why are you thanking me?"
"It has something to do with you. Do you remember that supply and marketing cooperative director, Huang Damin?"
He thought for a moment, then vaguely remembered, "What's wrong?"
"Director Huang is now the deputy manager of the city's taxi company. When I applied for a driver's job, there were so many people there. I definitely wouldn't have gotten a chance since I don't have any connections or background. But by sheer coincidence, someone recognized me. My brother's job was also something I helped out with back then, so we have some connection."
Li Kuiyong said,
"Manager Huang even asked me about your situation, and that's how I got a spot."
"Sure, please say hello to Manager Huang for me. By the way, did your wife come back too? What kind of work is she doing now?"
"It's hard to find a job if you're idle at home."
Li Kuiyong said,
"Now, a large number of educated youth have returned to the city. Even these native Beijingers can't find work, let alone my wife, who is from out of town. Everyone is just waiting at home for arrangements from above!"
"That'll be a long time coming!"
Zhong Yuemin said,
“It’s better to rely on yourself than on others, Kuiyong. Now that the policy has been relaxed, the country is encouraging entrepreneurship to solve the employment problem of educated youth returning to the city. It’s a great opportunity. Your street office should also have preferential policies.”
"I've heard of it, but we've never done any business, let alone started a business. What kind of business would we be in?"
"I have an idea for you. I've started a clothing business, and I have plenty of stock. If your wife is willing, she can open a store near your neighborhood office to sell clothes. Clothes come first in all aspects of life, from food and clothing to housing and transportation. They are consumables and necessities, so they won't be bad."
"Open a clothing store?"
"Yes, it's relatively easy and the hours are flexible. I'll think about it!"
"This...this will have to trouble you again."
“It’s no trouble at all… Every extra piece of clothing you sell in your store is a way for me to make money. If you don’t open, someone else will.”
"Okay, I'll discuss it with my wife when I get back, and then I'll give you an answer."
"it is good!"
"By the way, Yuemin, what about Xiao Jiu... he's been in Hong Kong all these years, when will he be able to come back?"
"Let's wait a bit longer; the timing isn't right now!"
During the crackdown, old grievances were brought up. Coming back now would just be walking right into a trap.
The party ended, and everyone was quite tipsy. At the hotel entrance, his wife picked him up in her car and helped him to the passenger seat.
"Why did you drink so much? Do you still think you're a young man?"
"It's rare for everyone to get together, so we're happy."
The car was on the road. It was snowing today, and the roads were slippery and difficult to drive on. When they reached an intersection and were going straight, a black Citroën sedan suddenly cut in from the side. Just as they were about to collide, Zhou Xiaobai slammed on the brakes. The front left side of his car grazed the rear of the Citroën.
Zhou Xiaobai's face turned pale.
"How does this person drive?"
The Citroën driver got out of the car, and two other people got out of the back seat. They started accusing the driver, banging on the car window.
"Get down, get down! Can't you even drive? Damn it, you're blind..."
Zhong Yuemin unbuckled his seatbelt.
"Yuemin, don't get out of the car, there are too many of them."
"It's okay, stay in the car and don't get out."
As soon as he got out of the car, he intended to talk to them politely, but the two men resorted to vulgar insults and physical violence. He didn't back down, punching each of them in the stomach, sending them sprawling to the ground in agony. "Ugh, ugh, ugh..."
"You're Zhong Yuemin?!"
The driver recognized him; Zhong Yuemin thought the face sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
"you are?"
"Me, Liu Jianguo? I don't remember. We fought side by side when we were fighting the monkeys in the south."
He remembered that Liu Jianguo was from the tank company, the same branch of service as Yuan Jun. He did know him; the two of them had given each other a big hug. He never expected to meet him here.
Looking at the two men on the ground, he said apologetically, "Are your two buddies alright? I went a little too far."
"it's okay no problem……"
Liu Jianguo waved his hand.
"Stop howling on the ground, go back to the car and rest. With this bad temper, you're not as skilled as others, you deserve it!"
When the two underlings saw that their older brother knew someone, they knew they would get beaten up for nothing, so they sullenly returned to the back seat of the car.
