To be honest, China’s reform and opening-up is great—a unprecedented, monumental undertaking, a new revolution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone grew excited—it was confirmed: Zhou Andong was about to launch an attack on Zhuo Qihua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jingyuan, Lu Qing, Jian Zhengrong, and several other leaders smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tycoon’s daughter looked at Zhou Andong with clear admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Zhou’s face lit up with joy—he was growing more and more satisfied with this grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qianyi hugged the old man’s arm, smiling at Zhou Andong on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong took the microphone and took two steps across the stage: “Our nation is undergoing an unprecedented era—a massive transformation is happening. China’s economy will surge forward; the rejuvenation of our nation is unstoppable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Opportunity, once passed, cannot be regained. The moment, once missed, cannot be recovered. Everyone here must possess clear, rational understanding and precise positioning to seize this once-in-a-millennium chance at this historic juncture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today’s China stands at the convergence point of past and future dreams. As a Chinese person, I am full of confidence in our future and the world’s prospects. Our history is one of continuously awakening, uniting, strengthening, and elevating confidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“History has proven, and will continue to prove, that we Chinese have the ability to achieve national rejuvenation, to lead and transform our times…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Applause erupted instantly—everyone was stirred to the core by Zhou Andong’s speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Qian Zhen, who whistled loudly and slammed his hands hard on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qianyi clapped until her palms turned red; the tycoon’s daughter clapped vigorously too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaders in the front row didn’t hold back their applause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Zhou Andong’s speech, every single one of them would have had their faces slapped by Zhuo Qihua—and been powerless to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Andong had fully restored their dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing leaned over and whispered to Jian Zhengrong: “Zhengrong, thanks to your suggestion that Zhou Andong speak for domestic entrepreneurs—we’d never have gotten our faces back otherwise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Zhengrong whispered back: “I didn’t expect Zhuo Qihua to spout such nonsense during his speech. But Zhou Andong’s talent is undeniable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve watched all his speech recordings and read all his articles. So under zero preparation, only he could deliver this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing chuckled: “You’ve got a great son-in-law—I’m a little envious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Zhengrong smiled smugly: “You know Da Run Fa, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!” Lu Qing nodded. “I heard it’s wildly popular in Beijing—everything’s stocked and cheap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!” Jian Zhengrong said. “Last time I returned to Beijing, I had a long talk with Zhou Andong and asked him to open a Da Run Fa in Dongguan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing said: “One store in Dongguan isn’t enough—you need one in Yangcheng too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Zhengrong smiled: “You’ll have to negotiate that with him yourself—I can’t control him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You!” Lu Qing laughed. “Fine, arrange it—tomorrow night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!” Jian Zhengrong replied, then turned his gaze to the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong held the microphone, looked down at Zhuo Qihua, still smiling below, and cursed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old bastard’s got thick skin—I’ll let you smile. Wait till I make you cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Chinese wisdom is unmatched by any other nation or race. Some people, whenever they mention the West, go ‘Oh my, this is great, that’s great, we must learn this, we must learn that.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d like to ask: where’s it great? Our Chinese chess—the general stays put in the back. Look at how foreigners play chess—messy, chaotic, clearly low-level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So don’t go on about how great the West is—take off their clothes and you’ll see they’re covered in hair, barely evolved. How civilized can they be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar of applause and laughter nearly lifted the roof off the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Qihua could no longer smile—his face turned dark.\u003C\u002Fp>",1070,"2026-06-20T01:18:52.456Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","089e3dbebd6d1dba92e461fd62d9aca6b4839c6503ba009d2c0506cf4d5553bc","my-restarted-life-1992-chapter-992","my-restarted-life-1992-chapter-990",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-restarted-life-1992-cover.jpg"]
