Chapter 419 Dad’s Ambition

While sitting idly, Zhang Yang opened his mobile phone and swiped it casually.

"what?"

After not having been back for a long time, he found out that his parents had gone out traveling recently.

Yes, there is always work to do.

The couple doesn't need to put much thought into their restaurant. Just focus on the thriving business and replicate it one after another. At most, they can train some trustworthy people to manage it.

The couple can just sit back and relax, and be hands-off managers.

In my dad’s circle of friends, the couple looked radiant and had great temperaments. They didn’t look like their age at all, but more like middle-aged people in their early forties.

Zhang Zhaohai is young and strong, while Song Wenqin is becoming more graceful.

It is true that money can support people.

A call was made and the other end picked up immediately.

"Hey, son, is there something wrong?" Zhang Zhaohai on the opposite side asked hurriedly.

Beside Zhang Yang, the two assistants immediately fell silent.

How could they dare to say anything when their boss called their father?
"Dad, what are you busy with?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"Hiking with your mom? We're almost at the top..." Zhang Zhaohai said with a smile, "I've finally discovered the importance of health. Even if you have a fortune, it's not worth a good body. I, your dad, am determined to lose weight to the standard value by the end of the year."

Money can’t buy you a slim body in old age.

Zhang Yang was naturally happy that his father had this awareness.

Previously, although my father was in good health, and had used some Pseudo-Xiaohuan Dan to regulate his body, he looked much younger than his peers. However, he was still a bit fat, which was a common problem among middle-aged people.

Don't talk about healthy fat people.

Fat is fat.

Before, Zhang Zhaohai was so busy making money and pursuing his career that he neglected his health. Now, with several restaurants making a fortune and his family conditions improving rapidly, health and wellness has naturally become his top priority.

"It's better to be thinner. Where are we going to climb the mountain?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"In Huangshan. After climbing Huangshan, we are going to go to Hangzhou for fun." Zhang Zhaohai said.

"Hangzhou?" Zhang Yang smiled.

He is no stranger to Hangzhou, as he owns a five-star hotel there, located on the bank of the Qiantang River. His Peach Blossom Spring, which cost hundreds of millions to renovate, is also there.

"Dad, to be honest, I bought a house in Hangzhou, but I haven't seen it yet after it's been renovated. When you go back, live there for me." Zhang Yang said, "I'll help you arrange the way to Hangzhou, and someone will pick you up when the time comes."

Who will be arranged to go?
Xiang Xiaotian has been in Hangzhou for the past few months. Recently, she knew that she was returning to China and she has been clamoring to go back to the Magic City every day.

It's not appropriate to let her go.

Forget it, let’s just arrange for Yu Kelly from the InterContinental Garden Hotel to go.

"You bought a house in Hangzhou? Great, great, your parents know that you have a bright future and will achieve great things! This time we will go to your place!" Zhang Zhaohai laughed.

I could vaguely hear my parents' conversation and their sounds of surprise.

Zhang Yang smiled and chatted with Zhang Zhaohai for a few more sentences before ending the call.

In front of me, the train passed through a European-style town. It was so beautiful that the two assistants beside me couldn't help but come over.

···
Hundreds of kilometers away, Huangshan Mountain.

The top of Tiandu Peak.

Zhang Zhaohai and Song Wenqi, a couple dressed in neat and clean mountaineering clothes, looked up at the top of Tiandu Peak which was just within reach, and could not help but feel overjoyed.

"Here we are, finally here!"

Tiandu Peak, facing Lianhua Peak to the west and connected to Boyu Peak to the east, has an altitude of 1810 meters. It is known as the three main peaks of Huangshan Mountain together with Guangmingding and Lianhua Peak, and is one of the 36 major peaks.

It was called "the capital of all immortals" in ancient times, meaning the capital in heaven, so it was named "Tiandu Peak".

The couple stood on the top of the peak, looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds below. What they saw before their eyes was a vast expanse of beautiful mountains and rivers, with the mountains and rivers visible before their eyes day and night.

For a moment, my heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Especially Zhang Zhaohai, his heart was instantly filled with thousands of indescribable emotions, and his eyes were suddenly filled with tears!
After wasting decades, when you reach middle age, you have wasted most of your life.

Today I know who I am!
"Wife! I never dreamed that this day would come!" He looked at Song Wenqin, unable to control his emotions for a moment, and went forward to hug his wife.

Tourists passing by may be surprised.

Even if you reach the top of the mountain, you wouldn't have never thought of it in your dreams, right?

But only Song Wenqin knew what emotion was contained in Zhang Zhaohai's words?
Yes!

Never dreamed of it!
The couple stood on the top of Tiandu Peak, raised their mobile phones, and took selfies with the mountains, rivers, sun and moon as the background to record the beautiful scenery at the moment.

"Let's go, this trip is worthwhile." Zhang Zhaohai laughed with a red face. "It's strange, I thought I would be out of breath after climbing the mountain, but I didn't expect that I could actually climb up. My physical strength is a bit beyond my expectations."

"It's mainly because your recent exercise has been effective." Song Wenqin said with a smile, "By the way, your son just said he bought a house in Hangzhou?"

"Not only did he buy it, I heard it's already been renovated." Zhang Zhaohai said, "I heard he's never been there once, he's really generous."

"He's careless?" Song Wenqin said with a smile, "It can only be said that my son is busy with his career and has no time to worry about these details. It just so happens that we can go and take a look this time to help him check and see how the decoration is going."

The couple talked and laughed as they took the cable car down Mount Huangshan.

It would be a lie to say that climbing the mountain is not tiring. As soon as the couple came down the mountain, they naturally went straight to the hotel to have a good rest.

Since they were not short of money, they naturally could not treat themselves badly when they went out to play, so this time the couple stayed at the Banyan Tree Huangshan Hotel, which was about a few dozen minutes' drive away from the Huangshan Scenic Area.

The suite is a townhouse suite that costs several thousand yuan a night. It has its own garden. Outside the balcony is an ancient Hui-style village nestled in the mountains and by the water, with unique scenery.

After a few minutes' drive, we arrived at Banyan Tree Huangshan Hotel.

"Finally back."

The couple put down their belongings, felt relaxed, took a shower, and then went to the hotel for dinner.

"Hey, look, it's Mr. Zhou and his friends." In the restaurant, Zhang Zhaohai glanced at the couple not far away and spoke to Song Wenqin in a low voice.

The couple in the distance looked calm, with fair complexion, and they looked like they were living a life of luxury.

It was Mr. and Mrs. Zhou whom Zhang Zhaohai and his wife met by chance in the first-class cabin of the plane.

Zhang Zhaohai and his wife became rich suddenly. Although their temperament has been catching up and initial results have been achieved, there is still a gap between their temperament and those of the old-timers who have been wealthy for many years.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou's family has been in business for generations and are said to have assets worth billions, which is simply unimaginable wealth.

"I'll go over and say hello." Zhang Zhaohai stood up and said.

He is in the catering business, and so are they.

His catering business only includes a few restaurants, but his family owns chain restaurants, hotels, etc. As the winners are the first, he naturally wants to talk more with others and learn business skills. On the other hand, he subconsciously aspires to be in the circle of entrepreneurs.

After a while, at the restaurant table.

Zhang Zhaohai walked over with a wine glass in hand and a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, we meet again."

Mr. Zhou and his wife were eating leisurely and chatting in soft voices. When they heard this, they looked up in surprise.

"Hello, Boss Zhang." Mr. Zhou smiled and recognized the man in front of him. "You and your wife are back from climbing Mount Huangshan?"

"Yes, I just finished climbing." Zhang Zhaohai said with a smile, "I just saw you from afar and thought of coming over to toast you."

Zhang Zhaohai stood and bowed slightly to show respect.

"Thank you." Mr. Zhou raised his glass and sat still. "In my early years, I also liked to climb mountains. I climbed many famous mountains and rivers at home and abroad. But my knee was injured two years ago. I can't climb anymore. I can only travel for health preservation."

"I envy you for having experienced everything, unlike me, who is only now realizing and making up for it." Zhang Zhaohai raised his glass and drank.

"By the way, Boss Zhang, you seem to be going to Hangzhou as well, right? Have you bought the tickets?" Mr. Zhou suddenly remembered something and asked casually.

"I haven't bought it yet." Zhang Zhaohai said.

"Then don't buy it. My driver has brought the car here. You can just take our car and go together." Mr. Zhou said with a smile. "It just so happens that there is someone to chat with on the way back."

Zhang Zhaohai originally wanted to decline.

But it was Mr. Zhou's words that immediately moved his heart.

Yes, it is rare to have the opportunity to chat and exchange ideas with such a wealthy person.

so··

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"Don't be polite with me. Didn't you ask me about the CEO class on the plane? I just happened to tell you about it." Mr. Zhou took a sip of his wine and said, "It's rare. I feel like you and I get along well."

"Well... Mr. Zhou, since you said so, I won't be pretentious anymore." Zhang Zhaohai said simply.

"Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow."

After a while, Zhang Zhaohai went back first.

Mr. Zhou looked at his wife who was sipping wine at the table and said with a smile, "What do you think of this Boss Zhang?"

"Flamboyant, confident, and rich, but judging by his manner of speaking, he doesn't seem to be that rich." The elegant woman said nonchalantly, "Even if he didn't become rich overnight, he's almost there."

"You mean the wealth doesn't match the temperament... a nouveau riche?" Mr. Zhou said with a smile, "So I'm curious... Anyway, the way back home is boring, and having someone like this to travel with me is quite interesting, what do you think?"

"As long as you are happy." The woman shook her head.

·
the other side.

"Take someone else's car back? Is that unnecessary?" Song Wenqin frowned.

She was a little puzzled by Zhang Zhaohai's determination to move up.

Now their family has everything they need, and their material life is abundant to the extreme. In Yinghai, they just need to guard their small piece of land and further manage and expand their own business. As for the network of personal connections, it is enough to manage the local relationships thoroughly.

Why should their family force themselves to integrate into this circle which is so far away from them?

Can a big shot with a net worth of tens of billions really treat them well?

"I don't want to blend into their circle, I just want to understand their mentality in advance, and it's good to learn from them." Zhang Zhaohai said with a smile, "They can make it this big, they must have something extraordinary. If I can really understand a little bit, it will also be beneficial to the further development of our family's industry in the future. This is called... called... yes, called pattern!"

"When we have 30 stores all over Yinghai, you can talk to me about the scale." Song Wenqin rolled her eyes at Zhang Zhaohai. "Now we only have five stores at most, and you talk to me about the scale..."

Zhang Zhaohai rubbed his hands. The lofty ambitions surging in his chest could not be expressed at all in front of his wife.

There was no words to say that night.

The next morning, after breakfast, we set off for Hangzhou.

"Boss Zhang, come in, please." Mr. Zhou politely pointed to the Lexus LM500H in front.

Zhang Zhaohai took one look at the car and his eyes immediately lit up.

Although their family already owns a Bentley, a Maybach, and even their son drives a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, they have not really bought this business MPV. Of course, it is also in the plan, but it is not so urgent.

Now that he has seen this top-of-the-line commercial vehicle known as the Leifa, he is naturally very tempted.

It’s not that I can’t afford it…
In the car, the two couples greeted each other.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were very polite, and there was nothing wrong with their etiquette, but Song Wenqin always felt... there was an indescribable feeling.

Out of place?

Or... is there always something between them?
But Zhang Zhaohai didn't think too much about it. As soon as he got in the car, he started to find topics to chat.

Mr. Zhou was quite friendly and answered every question, including many topics that interested Zhang Zhaohai.

"CEO class? No problem. If you're interested, I can recommend you." Mr. Zhou smiled. "By the way, you said a few days ago that you were going to open a restaurant in your hometown. After you opened..."

“We have opened five stores so far…” said Zhang Zhaohai.

"Five?" Mr. Zhou and his wife looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes. "That's not a rush... How many stores do you plan to open?"

"At least... at least thirty." Zhang Zhaohai said without thinking.

"Thirty? Great! When you open thirty stores, Boss Zhang, I will personally arrange for you to be a CEO." Mr. Zhou looked at Zhang Zhaohai, clapped his hands and said jokingly, "You can start from scratch and own five stores, so thirty stores will be a piece of cake for you."

"Mr. Zhou, that's an exaggeration." Zhang Zhaohai shook his head and said, "In fact, I have to thank my son for where I am today. My son is really capable."

"Your son?" Mr. and Mrs. Zhou seemed to have grasped some key point.

The answer is here...

No wonder this boss looks rich, but his temperament is a bit lacking. If he is a nouveau riche, his five restaurants are not enough to make him so rich...

It turned out that he was someone else's son.

"Boss Zhang, where is your son...working now?" Mr. Zhou asked tentatively.

"We can't explain it clearly." Zhang Zhaohai shook his head and said, "We never ask too much about our son's affairs. Anyway, since he was a child, our son has never made us worry about anything... By the way, he said yesterday that he bought a house in Hangzhou and has already renovated it, and asked us to move in."

Zhang Zhaohai looked down.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yang had just sent him a message, along with the location of the house.

However, the son also said that he didn't need to worry about anything when they got there, as someone would naturally help them arrange it.

"He also bought a house in Hangzhou?" Mr. Zhou took a curious look, then was slightly stunned, "Taohuayuan? He is indeed a young talent. He can actually afford a house there."
