Upon learning that Qi Taiguo was once again out on a mission, Old Zhou and the others felt quite disappointed as well. They had come back to catch up with old comrades but unfortunately missed him.
However, with Cheng Su around, everyone started talking about their lives and developments over the past few years.
As Cheng Su listened to Old Zhou and the others talk about the development of the Special Zone, she realized that they had seized the opportunity, which was why they had prospered quickly.
"At first, we didnāt know any better and ended up being scammed out of quite a bit of money. We had to start over again, and those days were tough. For half a year, the two of us never had a full meal. It was hard!" Sister-in-law Zhou sighed.
Cheng Su patted her chubby hand adorned with a large gold ring and said, "Thatās how life is. You have to go through ups and downs and endure hardships to grow. Thereās an old saying that goes, āA fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.ā Who would dare to cheat you now? If anything, youād be the ones deceiving others!"
Old Zhou burst into laughter, "Sister-in-law, you still have such a way with words."
Sister-in-law Zhou playfully scolded her, "We donāt do that kind of mean-spirited stuff!"
"Right, we donāt. Weāre just making money," Cheng Su smiled and said, "Now that your business is there, have you thought about settling down there?"
"Weāve thought about it. Weāve even bought a house, but we canāt bear to leave you old comrades!" Sister-in-law Zhou said.
Cheng Su let out a sound of acknowledgment and said, "Let me tell you, future development will only get better. Technology will advance, and transportation will become incredibly convenient. Meeting up wonāt be hard at all! No matter if itās east, west, south, or north, you can hop on a plane and be there in no time!"
"Absolutely, Iāve seen it rise with my own eyes over the past few years!" Old Zhou added, "This time back, Qing City has changed a lot too!"
"Itās a sign that the whole era is developing!" Cheng Su laughed, "This year, Iāve also moved some of my business to Guangcheng."
"Oh?" Old Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou exchanged a glance, "Guangcheng is quite close to the Special Zone!"
"Yes. I fancy its prosperity!" Cheng Su thought for a moment, then said, "Commander Zhou, Sister-in-law, now that youāre established in the Special Zone, manage it well, and your future achievements will certainly be greater. With capital, itās worth buying some land. Whether you build on it or sell it in the future, it will be a fixed asset. If your company grows into a large group, youāll surely need to mentor juniors like us!"
Sister-in-law Zhou said, "I donāt really understand business, I just listen to him!"
Old Zhou had a lot of faith in Cheng Suās words. He responded, "Sister-in-law, do you think thereās potential in land speculation?"
Cheng Suās eyes glinted, and she said, "These days, I guess there are more and more people getting into land speculation, right? The era has developed, and more people are venturing out into the world. There wonāt be a shortage of those settling down in foreign lands like you. Iāve bought two lots in Guangcheng myself, just waiting for luck!"
Old Zhouās eyes narrowed slightly, observing Cheng Suās calm demeanor, and he started contemplating internally.
Back when they decided to dive into the sea of business, it was Cheng Suās suggestion. He thought it wouldnāt matter if things didnāt work out, given there was nothing to lose. Although they went through a downturn, they ultimately succeeded, proving Cheng Suās views and analyses were correct.
Now, she was talking about land speculation. Having been part of the business world for several years, Old Zhouās perspective was not what it used to be. He knew that when she spoke like this, it probably wasnāt baseless, but rather a real opportunity.
"Sister-in-law always has a unique perspective. Iāll definitely have to consult you for advice. By the way, tonight, weāre hosting a dinner at your restaurant, inviting everyone over. Sister-in-law, Taiguoās not here, you must do us the honor. I have a lot of business lessons I want to learn from you!" Old Zhou laughed.
Cheng Su modestly accepted the invitation.
