Chapter 1394

Elder Yu asked, "Ruizhi, Sister Sister Ruoqiu, does that mean you are big bosses now? How much property do you have now?"

In front of Elder Yu, the two dared not lie. Yu Ruizhi thought for a moment and said, "Sister Sister Ruoqiu and I both have shares in the tourism company in Shangjun County, and then we set up a leather goods factory in Pengjiawan Town. Counting it up now, the total value should exceed 100 million. I also have a trading company in the capital, and Sister Sister Ruoqiu has a private kitchen restaurant in the capital, which is probably worth a few million. That's about all there is in total."

With Elder Yu's status, even he couldn't help but have his eyelids twitch after hearing Yu Ruizhi's words. A value exceeding 100 million? What kind of concept was this? Except for hearing figures over 100 million at State Council meetings in the past, he had never seen anyone around him with so much property.

Grandmother Yu exclaimed, "You two are so rich now?"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu nodded and said, "Second Brother's calculation should be about right."

Elder Yu said with a serious face, "You haven't been using my name to resell approval documents everywhere, have you?"

Yu Ruizhi cried out in injustice, "Grandpa, you are going to wrong me to death. When I do business outside, I never say I am a member of the Yu family. I have always been upright in my business dealings; otherwise, I wouldn't have only earned a few million after so many years, which isn't even as valuable as Sister Sister Ruoqiu's private kitchen restaurant. Later, earning so much money was all thanks to the ideas Xinghui gave me."

Elder Yu said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, is what he said true?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "When I met Brother Ruizhi, he really didn't have much money. His total assets combined were probably only two or three million. I later suggested he invest in the tourism industry in Shangjun County. Now, the tourism industry in Shangjun County is very prosperous. Counting his shares in the Shangjun County Tourism Company, the value should be over 100 million. That leather goods factory is now worth at least 20 or 30 million. All of this is money earned in the last few years."

Elder Yu still trusted Su Xinghui very much. His expression softened a little, and he nodded, saying, "You two are doing okay, not using our name to swindle people. The Yu family's name is very valuable, but this old face of mine is even more valuable. I don't want the integrity of my whole life to be ruined by unworthy descendants. Can you understand my thoughts?"

Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu both nodded solemnly. Of course, they both understood how much an old-generation revolutionary like Elder Yu valued his reputation; it was something more precious than their lives.

Elder Yu said, "Your money was earned relying on Xinghui, so helping Xinghui now is as it should be. Donating to schools is even better. You are worthy of being my grandson and granddaughter."

Yu Ruizhi said, "Grandpa, Sister Sister Ruoqiu and I are also listening to Xinghui's advice. We have established a charitable foundation and will do more charitable work in the future."

A look of gratification appeared in Elder Yu's eyes.

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said, "By the way, Grandpa, Second Brother and I also donated to build a school in your hometown. It is estimated that it will be completed in a few months. By then, the children in your hometown who cannot afford to go to school will be able to study for free. We named this school after you."

A look of longing suddenly appeared in Elder Yu's eyes: "Is what you said true? How is my hometown now?"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said, "It's okay, I guess."

Elder Yu said, "Tell the truth."

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said helplessly, "It is also very poor there now, about the same as Changshan County."

Elder Yu's expression dimmed a little: "Sigh, when we came out of there back then, it was because it was poor there. Now that we have been victorious for decades, why is it still so poor?"

Grandmother Yu gently held Elder Yu's hand, telling him not to get agitated.

Su Xinghui comforted him, "Grandpa Yu, the situation will slowly get better. Isn't the situation in the whole country changing in a good direction now?"

Elder Yu nodded, and then he said to Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu with gratification, "You two are very good, you've done well."

A look of excitement appeared on the faces of Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu. All along, they had been considered the most useless ones in the family because they neither went into politics nor became soldiers, but chose to do business. In the eyes of Elder Yu and even their parents, this was considered not attending to their proper duties.

Now, they had finally received Elder Yu's affirmation in person. How could they not be excited?

Elder Yu added, "The best thing you two have done is to become friends with Xinghui. Having a friend like him, you will benefit for a lifetime."

Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu both nodded. Indeed, having a friend like Su Xinghui was the good fortune of their lifetime. At the very least, they had already become billionaires. If it weren't for Su Xinghui, they might never have been able to reach this goal in their lifetime.

Elder Yu said, "Now that you are considered rich, remember one thing: be benevolent while being rich."

Elder Yu's words made the two nod solemnly again. In fact, Elder Yu had instilled such principles in them since they were young; otherwise, they wouldn't be the way they are now, and perhaps they would have long since become playboys.

Seeing their appearance, Elder Yu nodded with a smile, then looked at Su Xinghui and said, "Xinghui, thank you for teaching me the Five Animal Frolics. I feel much better after practicing it. My legs and feet always had some pain before, especially where I was injured, but now the pain has lessened a lot, and walking is much lighter."

Grandmother Yu also said, "Yes, Xinghui, thank you. I have also practiced these Five Animal Frolics, and it feels very good."

Su Xinghui said, "Grandpa Yu, Grandma Yu, since you feel good after practicing, you must persist. You don't need to practice too much every day; practicing for half an hour each morning and evening is fine. If you persist for a long time, it will definitely prolong your life."

The old couple both nodded and agreed.

This afternoon, Elder Yu's children and grandchildren in the capital all returned for a meal. Now it is during the Chinese New Year, and those who work in other places have returned to the capital. These days, they return to Elder Yu's place every afternoon for a meal. This can be considered letting Elder Yu enjoy some family happiness.

Elder Yu also kept Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya for the meal. This was a very rare phenomenon. Elder Yu actually kept two people to eat at his place, and they were such young people. His children and grandchildren who didn't know Su Xinghui were all very curious, but the Yu family's upbringing was very strict, so no one dared to ask anything during the meal.

Elder Yu has one daughter and three sons. His eldest daughter, Yu Jingxian, and several grandchildren are still in Hudong accompanying Gu Shanmin. His eldest son, Yu Yan'an, is the Minister of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry and has been in the capital for many years. His second son, Yu Kangzhan, was also a department director of a certain ministry and commission before, and is now the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of a certain city in a certain province. His third son, Yu Jiefang, is a division commander of a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army. They are all taking advantage of the New Year to return to the capital to accompany the old man.

Yu Yan'an's eldest son, Yu Ruijian, is a regimental commander of a certain unit in the Southern Military Region. He has considerable talent in military affairs, and the commander of the Southern Military Region is also an old subordinate of Elder Yu, who takes good care of him. This is why he became a regimental commander of a field army in his thirties, which can be considered to have a bright future in the military system.

The children of Yu Kangzhan and Yu Jiefang are some working and some in college, and they are in all walks of life. Among them, the one with the highest rank is Yu Kangzhan's eldest son, Yu Junchu. He is just thirty years old this year and is already a deputy division-level official of the Communist Youth League Committee of Jiangyou Province.

Yu Ruizhi's wife is named Liao Rong. She is the granddaughter of an old subordinate of Elder Yu. That old subordinate sacrificed his life during the War of Liberation, and Elder Yu takes good care of his descendants. Yu Ruizhi and Liao Rong can be considered to have grown up together. The two were childhood sweethearts, and naturally got together after growing up.

Liao Rong gave birth to a son for Yu Ruizhi, named Yu Haowen, who is only five or six years old this year. This afternoon, he and his mother also returned to Elder Yu's place for a meal.

With so many people eating, they sat at several tables. Elder Yu and his wife sat at the head of an eight-immortal table. Elder Yu let his three sons and his eldest grandson, Yu Ruijian, and second grandson, Yu Ruizhi, accompany them at this table. For the last seat, he let Su Xinghui sit there.

Originally, Elder Yu also wanted Lu Xiaoya to sit at this table, but Lu Xiaoya politely declined Elder Yu's kindness. She sat with Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, so this seat was taken by Yu Ruizhi.

Yu Yan'an sat on the right hand side of Elder Yu and his wife. He pulled Su Xinghui to sit on his lower hand, let his two younger brothers sit opposite, and his two sons sit opposite Elder Yu and his wife. This made Su Xinghui feel a bit fearful and uneasy.

After the food and wine were served, Elder Yu said to Yu Yan'an, "Yan'an, introduce Xinghui's identity to everyone."

Yu Yan'an then said to his two younger brothers and eldest son, "This is Su Xinghui. His current identity is the Party Secretary of Matou Town, Changshan County, Hudong Province, and he is the son-in-law of Vice Governor Lu."
