Chapter 52: Are you doing well in a foreign land? (Seeking collection)

  Yes! Another year is about to pass, and soon it will be the Chinese New Year again. But what have I accomplished this year? Now I'm like a stray dog, hiding everywhere, not even daring to show my face. What kind of life is this? The New Year is approaching, but I don't even dare to call my parents at home. What kind of life have I led?

  Just as Tan Haotao fell into silence due to Wang Lao Wu's one sentence, Wang Lao Wu continued;

  "Big brother, with the New Year approaching, it's hard for the brothers to focus on revenge. Why don't we wait until after the holiday and then deal with those scoundrels from the Wolf Gang?"

  "Alright! Let's do as you say, and let the brothers have a good year!" Tan Haitao suddenly felt that this person had lived a very fast and meaningless life, so he agreed to Wang Lao Wu's suggestion, and hung up the phone with a hint of inexplicable sadness.

  Wang Lao Wu hung up the phone and went to play cards with his so-called brothers, feeling happy. On the way there, he couldn't help but think that someone like Tan Hai Tao, a big shot, didn't even give his brothers any gifts during Chinese New Year, while Yang, the vice boss, not only gave them red envelopes early on but also lost a lot of money to them at the gambling table. What's the reason for such a huge difference between people?

  As the Spring Festival approaches, the entire city of Weidong County is immersed in a joyful and harmonious atmosphere. Especially after the long-term scourge of Ma Jianbang was eliminated, and the new county head Wang successfully secured numerous projects that benefit the people's livelihoods from the province. This Lunar New Year is the happiest one for the people of Weidong County in many years. Many people who went out to work have decided not to leave again after learning about this situation, but instead stay and develop locally, utilizing their skills and experience learned outside to contribute to the local economy. They want to take advantage of the numerous welfare policies brought by County Head Wang to create a bright future for themselves.

  At the time of the Chinese New Year, the happiest family in Weidong County was undoubtedly Zhang Fugui's family. With Chen Li's arrival, their lives underwent a dramatic change. Within just three months, they opened four branches of their beef noodle restaurant, "Zhang's Beef Noodles". Not only did they win widespread acclaim in Weidong County, but they also became a unique landscape in the county's catering industry. Neighboring counties and cities sent people to learn from them and negotiate potential partnerships to open branches of Zhang's Beef Noodles in their areas. However, considering Chen Li's exceptional noodle-making skills couldn't be easily replicated, Zhang Fugui temporarily kept these people at bay, planning to discuss the next development plan for Zhang's Beef Noodles with Chen Li after the New Year.

  However, for Zhang Fugui, the problem he had always wanted to solve was finally solved perfectly under Chen Li's initiative and Wang Caixia's tacit consent. Before the Chinese New Year, they rented a separate room for Chen Li in a nearby place, and the whole family worked together to decorate it warmly. However, when they finished decorating the room and were about to leave, they felt reluctant to part with Chen Li, feeling empty and unwilling to separate from him. But Chen Li kept making eyes at Zhang Fugui, persuading them to return home, letting Wang Caixia scold Zhang Fugui all the way back, not even allowing him to go to bed that night, making him spend another day as a "suffering monk".

  I finally have a place to settle down! I finally took my first step in Wei Dong County! But who can share my feelings at this moment? I won't be able to live with my brother's family forever! And does Grandpa know about my situation now? Grandpa, are you doing well? Is your body still as strong as ever? Don't worry, Grandpa, everything is fine here!

  Lin Xue'er, you must wait for me. My body has started to recover slowly and my career has laid a solid foundation. I will prove to you with my own abilities within five years that Chen Li is absolutely worthy of being your husband! I must let you marry me, Chen Li, in a grand and glorious manner!

  After Zhang Fugui and his family left, Chen Li, who had been alone in a room for three months, couldn't help but think of his grandfather Chen Bingkun and Lin Xueer. However, he didn't know that under the same starry sky in Weidong County, there was another tall figure standing under the cold wind, gazing up at the stars, with thoughts of Chen Li filling her mind.

  That guy must be hating me to death right now! But how can you understand my painstaking efforts? If I didn't do this, how could I stir up the blood and abilities inherited from your uncle Zhihui in your bones? I had no choice but to do this to force you to embark on the path of kingship as soon as possible, to grow up quickly to avenge our parents' death with your own hands! Unless you really achieve that step, killing the enemy who killed our parents with your own hands, you are not qualified to be my man, Chen Qi!

  At the same time, in the highest building of the Xishan villa group in the capital city of Hua Guo, Lin Xue'er stood alone on the stargazing platform of their home, staring blankly at the northwest direction. Her mind was filled with Chen Li's deep and profound eyes, and she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, softly humming a popular song.

  Are you doing well in a foreign land?

  Are there tears to moisten both eyes?

  That unfamiliar smile of yours

  It's just an excuse for me
