~7 min read 1,290 words

"It really makes me look a bit ignorant." The woman gave a wry smile.

"This place is reforming and opening up, which is a big opportunity for us businessmen. But for a big star like you, it's actually an opportunity."

Zhou Xianyong found his cigarette and lighter; he didn't smoke that diligently, he had only lit this one all night.

"I also arrived at night, you come over, accompany me to walk around and see the mainland, if you are willing, I can invest and set up a film and television company here, and hand it over to you then."

"Really?" The woman was surprised and couldn't believe it.

Zhou Xianyong leaned against the head of the bed: "I, Zhou Xianyong, say what I mean, I never lie to people, especially women."

The woman hesitated: "But I heard that the mainland has very strict control over entertainment culture, will they allow us to open an entertainment company over there?"

"This should be true." Zhou Xianyong thought for a while: "However, this second uncle of mine has a grandson who has great ability here; I'll chat with him tomorrow and ask him about the policies, maybe he has a way."

Being tricked out by Zhou Andong today and freezing for several hours, but it wasn't without any gain.

At least, he had a preliminary understanding of this nephew of his, Zhou Andong, which was that his energy was not small.

That Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo could mobilize the army, their background must not be small.

Zhou Andong was brothers with them, and even went to their home to visit the old master, this was not just a friendship relationship.

"What does this nephew of yours do?"

The woman asked tentatively; this was Zhou Xianyong's private family matter after all.

If he told her, it would prove that Zhou Xianyong had a good impression of her, and she also had a chance to become the young mistress of the Zhou family.

Zhou Xianyong didn't answer her, but asked: "Do you know RT-Mart?"

"I know." The woman said: "Invested by the Jinwan Group, from opening until now, every Sunday, as long as I have time, I will go shopping.

The things inside are very complete, and also very cheap, especially the shopping environment and service, it's too comfortable. I really never thought before that shopping in a supermarket could be so pleasant and enjoyable, much better than Carrefour."

Zhou Xianyong laughed out loud: "The parent company of RT-Mart is in the mainland, it's an enterprise under my nephew, and our Jinwan Group is cooperating with him."

"Ah?"

The woman was truly shocked, because RT-Mart, whether it was decoration, management, or service, was too advanced.

Even the famous Carrefour couldn't compare, but such a retail enterprise was actually from the mainland, it was too unbelievable.

"Are you very surprised?"

Zhou Xianyong was in a particularly good mood, and the depression of being stood up by Zhou Andong had also dissipated at this time.

"Did you drink the Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaomei I brought back from the UK last time?"

"No!" The woman said: "You told me that this wine is very popular in the upper class in the UK, and it's not easy to buy in the market, so I treasured it, and will drink it when there are distinguished guests in the future."

Zhou Xianyong, leaning against the head of the bed, sat up straight, then reached out and took the ashtray on the bedside table.

"You don't need to treasure it anymore, drink it if you want, this wine will soon be available in the Wanwan market."

The woman was stunned: "Will it soon be available in the Wanwan market?"

"Yes!" Zhou Xianyong flicked the ash and said with a smile: "Because Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaomei are brewed by the winery under my nephew, and then exported to the UK, and sought after by the British royal family.

The Jinwan Group has already negotiated the agency rights, and after the New Year, it will be available in all hotels under the Jinwan Group, as well as RT-Mart."

The woman couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the Zhou family is a wealthy family in Wanwan.

I didn't expect that the relatives who had been separated for many years were also a wealthy family in the mainland.

……………………

February 8, 1994, the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve!

The morning sun passed through the clouds and sprinkled on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light.

A green-skinned train coming from the north, clattering, slowly drove into Jingcheng Railway Station.

"Woo—"

After the melodious whistle, the train slowly stopped, and soon the passengers got off one after another.

They were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, wearing hats and gloves, facing the cold wind, and stepped onto this strange yet familiar land.

On the platform, the snow had already been cleaned up cleanly, and the staff were busily directing the passengers' travel.

Their faces were filled with enthusiastic smiles, making people feel incomparably warm.

Some naughty children were playing and running on the platform, and immediately after, they would be scolded by their mothers.

Zhou Anlei carried a black bag and got off the train, followed by Fat Sister and Mingming.

After all, they couldn't stay in Jingcheng for more than two days, and had to go back on the third day, so they just simply brought a few changes of underwear.

"Hoo!"

Zhou Anlei stood on the platform, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the beauty of this city.

He knew that when he stepped onto this land of Jingcheng, his life had completely changed.

For the future, he had new hope and opportunities.

"Leizi!" Fat Sister called out softly.

Zhou Anlei came back to his senses, looked at Fat Sister, then looked at Mingming, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go."

After saying this, he grabbed Fat Sister's hand and walked forward with big strides.

Mingming followed behind, trotting all the way, muttering: "Can you slow down."

A family of three came out of the exit and heard someone shout from the side.

"Boss Zhou!"

Zhou Anlei turned his head to look, and recognized at a glance that it was Wang Wentian, Zhou Andong's bodyguard, who also often went to the steamed bun shop to eat.

"Old Wang!" Zhou Anlei greeted with a smile.

Wang Wentian took the bag from Zhou Anlei's hand: "Let's go, the car is over there."

……………………

When Zhou Andong got up, it was already past ten o'clock, and the shouting of children came from outside.

He sat up on the bed, found a cigarette and lit it, and had only taken a few puffs when he heard the knocking on the door.

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law wants you to get up."

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Uncle, Aunt wants you to get up quickly."

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Big Uncle, Big Aunt wants you to get up quickly."

"..."

"Got it, stop knocking."

Zhou Andong pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray, shouted weakly, and then got out of bed to get dressed.

When he opened the door, he saw Old Fourth and Yuan Haoyu, that little fatty, leading a group of little ones, standing neatly at the door.

Zhou Andong said dumbfoundedly: "What are you standing here for, aren't you cold?"

"Hee hee!" Old Fourth stretched out his little hand: "Happy New Year, Big Brother, give me a red envelope."

"Uncle!" The little fatty also stretched out his hand: "Happy New Year, give me a red envelope."

Immediately after, a group of little ones behind also stretched out their little hands, looking at him expectantly.
