As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store - Chapter 677
Chapter 677: Rely On! (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Originally, Yang Yu was admiring the interior decoration of the house, but he was stunned by his wife’s words in an instant.
He walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at his wife earnestly, saying, “Although Xiao Chao is my cousin, I still hope to rely on my own hands to strive.”
“Strive? Honey, I’m not trying to dampen your enthusiasm, but as you said before, just this garden alone would take several lifetimes for us to afford!
Think about how wealthy your cousin is. He spent over 100 million buying this garden. Even if he just reveals a little bit of wealth, we can live comfortably!” Yang Yu fell silent upon hearing this. Although his wife’s words made sense, he knew he couldn’t do that.
“Wife, things aren’t as simple as you think. You heard it before, this garden belongs to his company. I guess Xiao Chao probably owns a tiny portion of it. Haven’t you noticed many of the houses here are new and untouched?
“I don’t care. Such a good opportunity must not be missed. If we really get involved in your cousin’s connections, I believe we can buy our own house in less than two years!”
“Ah…” These words were like a thorn directly piercing Yang Yu’s heart.
Thinking of how he had struggled for so many years and still rented a house, his mood suddenly became heavy.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it alone.
The room became much quieter, except for the excited voice of little Tongtong.
Soon, the cigarette in Yang Yu’s hand burned out, and he extinguished it in the ashtray, his voice somewhat low, “It’s getting late, let’s wash up and sleep. I’ll seriously consider this matter!”
His wife opened her mouth, looked at Yang Yu’s troubled face, nodded, and then took Tongtong to the bathroom.
Yang Yu also knew that his wife made sense. This is how society is now. Those with connections will never worry about making money. Now there’s a golden opportunity right in front of him, it’s just a matter of how he chooses.
When the two came out of the bathroom after showering, they found Yang Yu had already smoked three or four cigarettes while sitting on the bed.
“Go take a shower, don’t think too much. Forget what I said earlier!” Walking to Yang Yu’s side, she pinched his thick shoulder!
“Yeah!” Yang Yu nodded and extinguished the cigarette in his hand before entering the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu were sitting on the sofa chatting.
“Lin Wu, do you think I should help my third brother?” Zhou Chao asked with some confusion, scratching his head.
Hearing this, Lin Wu immediately hesitated, “Boss, this is your family matter.
How can an outsider like me interfere!”
“You can saywhateveryouwant, it’s okay!” Zhou Chao knew Lin Wu s cautiousness, fearing to say too much and upset him!
“Boss, if I say it, don’t blame me if it’s not good!” Lin Wu asked repeatedly.
Zhou Chao glanced at him, “Just say it, stop beating around the bush!”
Lin Wu coughed twice, cleared his throat, organized his words, glanced at Zhou Chao, and said, “Boss, to be honest, it depends on whether your third brother’s family is worth helping. If they’re like wolves or vampires, it’s better to stay away early on, so you don’t end up being a scapegoat.”
Zhou Chao nodded thoughtfully, “Actually, my uncles are pretty good. They
used to take care of me a lot!”
“Boss, if that’s the case, I suggest you can give them a little help, but don’t go overboard. Besides, treat the other families equally. You can’t help one and forget the other!”
Zhou Chao actually understood what Lin Wu said, but he just couldn t grasp the degree.
He would definitely lend a helping hand, but to what extent? If he couldn’t grasp this degree, he might end up harming them.
After all, being accustomed to poverty and suddenly becoming wealthy often brings about some unexpected changes, which is why Zhou Chao has been indecisive all along.
“I got it, you go rest first. It’s late now. Depending on the situation tomorrow, if everything’s fine, we’ll return to Modu!”
“Alright, Boss!” Lin Wu said and then got up to leave.
Zhou Chao leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought for a long time, before getting up and heading towards the bed!
Perhaps they were too tired from yesterday’s activities, Yang Yu and his companions slept until late morning.
When they entered the living room, they saw Zhou Chao leisurely sitting at the tea table, sipping tea and gazing at the scenery outside.
“Third Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re up!”
“Sorry, yesterday we walked all day while playing, and I didn’t expect to sleep until now!” Yang Yu said awkwardly.
“I just got up not long ago. Come over and have some tea. Lin Wu went to buy breakfast and should be back soon!”
Yang Yu nodded. Just as he took a few steps, he saw Lin Wu coming in with two large bags of items.
“Oh, you’re back just as we were talking about you!”
Lin Wu paused for a moment, not immediately understanding what was going
on.
“Sorry, I was delayed on the way, and there wasn’t much to eat around here for breakfast. I had to run an extra kilometer to buy the local specialty breakfast.
Then everyone headed to the dining room, and Lin Wu took out the breakfast items from the bags.
There were millet porridge, cake snacks, and soup dumplings!
Each person took a portion and started eating.
“Third Brother, where are you planning to go today?” After swallowing a soup dumpling, Zhou Chao looked at Yang Yu sitting opposite him and asked.
Yang Yu and his wife glanced at each other before saying, “We don’t plan to go out today. There are some things to take care of at the factory, so we re planning to head back soon.”
Zhou Chao was taken aback for a moment but didn’t pay much attention to it!
“Alright then, Third Brother, send me the location of your factory later. Whenever I have time, I’ll come visit you!”
“Sure, no problem!” Yang Yu said with a smile.
After breakfast, Yang Yu sent the location of his factory to Zhou Chao’s phone, then left with his wife and daughter in the car.
Watching the departing car, Lin Wu asked with some confusion, “Boss, why did they leave so suddenly? I thought they would stay for a few more days!” “How would I know? Maybe as Third Brother said, there’s something urgent at the factory!” Zhou Chao said flatly.
Lin Wu wore an expression of “Do you believe it? Anyway, I don t!
Zhou Chao also understood in his heart that his third brother’s departure wasn’t because of the factory’s business. After all, during their conversation last night, he learned from his brother that the factory’s business was currently sluggish, and it wouldn’t suddenly receive new orders overnight.
Picking up his phone and checking the address his brother had left him, Zhou Chao whispered, “Xiao Guo, investigate!”
“Okay, Brother Chao!”
Seeing this scene, Lin Wu rubbed his hands together and leaned over to Zhou Chao with a smile, “Boss, since you have the time, why don’t you install one for me too? Even if it’s just a system for Xiao Guo’s grandchildren!”
“What nonsense are you thinking? Even if Xiao Guo’s grandchildren’s system already surpasses all the artificial intelligence on the market, besides, why would you need to install it?”
“Boss, I have a great use for it. I’ll be able to connect to the security systems of any company under the group, and I can report real-time events to you promptly!”
Zhou Chao glanced meaningfully at Lin Wu, causing Lin Wu to feel uneasy.
But Lin Wu’s suggestion was indeed quite good, especially for those important companies under the group, such as Ocean Technology and the Steel Plant. He wouldn’t need to run around anymore. He could directly issue relevant commands through Xiao Guo!
“Pack up, let’s head back too!” Zhou Chao already had some ideas in his mind and planned to refine them further when they returned.
Watching Zhou Chao leave, Lin Wu felt uneasy. Could he at least give a definitive answer? It’s uncomfortable to neither reject nor agree, it’s really unbearable!
