Chapter 581: How Did He Get Rich?

"President Li, you’re so bad..."

The woman said coquettishly, teasingly resisting while her slender, fair arms rested on his shoulders, her passionate red lips closing in.

Li Guangyuan was about to taste the flavor of her lipstick when suddenly a cold voice sounded, "Li Guangyuan..."

The voice was calm and without waves, yet it carried a chilling coldness, seemingly capable of freezing him to the bone.

Li Guangyuan shivered and opened his eyes, only then realizing it was just a dream.

Setting aside that voice, Li Guangyuan could still feel the sensation of warm fragrance and soft jade in his arms.

Those women’s bodies are so soft, and they smell so good, and when they call me President Li, their voices are gentle and soft, like little cat paws scratching at my heart.

Li Guangyuan didn’t get up but lay there, staring at the ceiling.

So this is the life of the wealthy, huh? Being rich is really nice; no wonder everyone wants money.

But money is really hard to earn, and the money he painstakingly earns always ends up being taken by his mom to give to others.

Wait, how was he wealthy in the dream?

Li Guangyuan tried hard to recall, thinking of the overflowing money box and the bustling shop.

What kind of business was his shop doing?

At that time, he was focused only on the money box and didn’t pay attention to the business inside the shop.

Heaven was clearly hinting at him how to make money, so why didn’t he pay attention?

Li Guangyuan was full of regret.

Next time there’s a chance, he must carefully see how the money is earned.

While he was thinking, there was a commotion outside the door, along with his son calling him daddy.

Li Guangyuan sat up quickly, saw Lin Jiayi had returned with his son, and then lay back down again.

......

After Lin Jiadong left, Lin Chuxia went to Old Sir He’s place.

Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia both wanted Old Sir He to go to the Qin Family’s for New Year, but Old Sir He insisted on not agreeing, stating bluntly that being alone is peaceful and free.

Lin Chuxia could somewhat understand Old Sir He’s thoughts, but seeing the old man all alone in the small courtyard still made her feel quite uneasy.

Just as she entered the house and was seen by Old Sir He, he began to scold her without hesitation.

"During the festive season, instead of staying home properly, you’re running around everywhere? Where’s Qin Yang? How could he let you out alone?"

Lin Chuxia placed the delicious food she brought from home on the table.

"Master, I’m not a china doll, why do I need someone to watch me wherever I go? This is called infringing on personal freedom, you know?"

Old Sir He glared, "I don’t know, what, are you going to arrest me? Why are you running around in such cold weather?"

"I wanted you to spend Spring Festival with us, but you wouldn’t. I think you just want me to run around back and forth."

Lin Chuxia knew Old Sir He was concerned about her and deliberately spoke in jest.

Old Sir He knew this girl was intentionally giving him trouble, thinking that if she does so on the first day of the year, it’d be a good omen; this way she’d trouble him all year.

He stopped bantering with her, "When are you going back to Yan City after the New Year?"

"Master, you’ve only been here for a few days and already want to go back? You were so against going to Yan City initially, have you forgotten so soon?"

"I haven’t forgotten, but the acupuncture for Minister Wei’s spouse still needs to be continued; the next acupuncture is on the eighth. I’m thinking if you’re busy, just send me back first, since treating patients can’t be interrupted halfway. Unlike doing other things, especially if it’s about tuning up someone’s body; if it’s finally going smoothly, interrupting it would ruin all previous efforts."

So that’s the matter.

Lin Chuxia thought for a moment and then directly said, "We’ll go back together on the seventh. The mall and restaurant are almost ready to open."

Perfect timing for Qin Juan and Qin Jianjun to join them.

"Alright, you handle the arrangements."

Old Sir He, having finished talking, couldn’t resist the smell of the food. He took some wine and started drinking with the meat Lin Chuxia had brought.

After a while, Qin Jianjun also came over.

He was surprised to see Lin Chuxia was there too and greeted her, then placed the good food and drinks he brought from home on Old Sir He’s table.

He planned to stay with Old Sir He for the night but ended up being impatiently chased away by Old Sir He.

..................

After the fifth day, the New Year was pretty much over.

If it were previous years, the celebration might continue for a few more days, at least until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Nowadays in Qin Family Village, they cultivate vegetable greenhouses, so even during the festive days, some families still need to take care of their greenhouses.

Once the fifth day is over, everyone started getting busy again.

That’s how off-season vegetable greenhouses are: the earlier you plant, the earlier you earn money.

Everyone already tasted the benefits last year, so this year they were even more motivated.

On the seventh day, Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia tidied up simply, brought along Qin Juan and Qin Jianjun, and went to the small courtyard to pick up Old Sir He, setting off lively back to Yan City.

Minister Wei is a local, and the family spent the festival in the apartment complex for families.

Upon hearing Lin Chuxia and the others had returned, Sister-in-law Gong and Minister Wei promptly went to visit.

Ideally, since Minister Wei is not only older but also Qin Yang’s boss, Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia should pay a New Year visit to Minister Wei’s home.

However, Minister Wei was grateful to Lin Chuxia, so upon hearing they returned, he couldn’t wait to drop by.

After undergoing Old Sir He’s tune-up, Sister-in-law Gong looked vastly different.

After this New Year, her face visibly gained some flesh, and even her hair seemed denser and shinier than before.

"You can tell Sister-in-law celebrated the New Year well, huh? Minister Wei must have bought you plenty of meat, right?" Lin Chuxia teased.

Sister-in-law Gong laughed and gently touched her cheek, "It actually has nothing to do with Old Wei buying meat or not. In the past, we also bought a lot of meat during the festival, but I couldn’t eat oily food due to my poor appetite. Forget fatty meat, I didn’t even dare eat more than a bit of lean meat. After Old He tuned up my body, this year during the festival, the aroma of meat enticed me so much that I started with one or two pieces, then three or four. Now for each meal, not eating much of them, but eating a few pieces of chicken, fish, lean pork is no problem. You know, for many years I haven’t been able to enjoy the taste of food, but recently I find meals increasingly delicious."

Not only does she eat more, but she also feels more energetic.

In the past, she was always sluggish and had no energy, unwilling to take even a step.

Now her energy level is so high that she could even stay up on New Year’s Eve later than her Old Wei.

Minister Wei pointed at Sister-in-law Gong and said, "You don’t know, your sister-in-law used to eat like a cat, just a few bites. Now her appetite is almost as big as mine, and if this keeps up, I’m worried the ration tickets won’t be enough for us."

That remark had everyone laughing heartily.

Sister-in-law Gong gave him a displeased glance, "You better not complain about me eating too much. Once my body fully recovers, I’ll find a job, earn my own money, and won’t rely on you."
