Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 65 Liu Hongchang's Future Plans
"Boom!"

The thunder roared, the wind howled, and the summer rain came quickly and urgently.

"It's raining. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to go back today." Liu Meng leaned on the back of the bed and said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang took the anti-inflammatory and swelling ointment and applied it to her. He looked up at her and said with a smile, "We have to go back eventually."

"If people don't want to keep us, God will. How can I not go back? I don't think my parents will come back today." Liu Meng said expectantly.

Liu Hongchang shook his head.

Liu Meng wrinkled his nose and said depressedly: "In ancient times, today would be my wedding night. You are so cruel."

"A concubine?" Liu Hongchang asked with a smile.

Liu Meng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, it is my concubine, you are amazing!"

"Okay, I'll be fine tomorrow." After applying the ointment, Liu Hongchang sat up and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go make dinner."

Liu Meng nodded and smiled, "I've been hungry for a long time. Can't you see that I'm exhausted?"

So the two of them cleaned up and went to the kitchen downstairs. Liu Meng's family did not burn coal, but gas, which was very convenient to use.

Because there were only two of them, Liu Hongchang didn't cook any dishes. He just cooked two bowls of shredded pork noodles, and they tasted quite good.

While they were eating, they heard people talking outside. The two looked at each other, and Liu Meng said in fear: "Fortunately..."

"Do you still want me to stay now?" Liu Hongchang said with a wicked smile.

Liu Meng curled her lips, stood up to open the door, and said with a faint smile: "If you want to stay, I have an excuse to tell my parents."

"Forget it, wait until my new house is renovated, then it will be convenient for you to live there often." Liu Hongchang shook his head.

Liu Meng nodded slightly and said nothing. She was somewhat disappointed that Liu Hongchang couldn't accompany her today.

After all, for women, today is the most memorable and memorable one.

When the door was opened, a strong wind blew into the living room. Outside, the rain was pouring down with a crackling sound.

"Are you back so soon?" Liu Meng asked with a smile.

Liu Shutian nodded, followed by Liu Meng's third brother Liu Zhen, and Qin Shujuan holding the youngest Liu Fang in her arms.

Liu Meng has four siblings. The eldest, Liu Cheng, went to serve in the army. Liu Meng is the second oldest. The third oldest, Liu Zhen, is in junior high school, and Liu Fang has just started elementary school.

Liu Shutian's family were not surprised to see Liu Hongchang, as they knew he would come over to cook today.

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Qin." Liu Hongchang stepped forward to greet them and took Liu Fang from Qin Shujuan.

Liu Shutian asked with a smile: "I heard from Xiaomeng that you plan to quit your job and start a business at the end of the year. Do you have any plans?"

"Yes, I want to go to the south first to try some connections." Liu Hongchang replied with a smile.

Qin Shujuan smiled and said, "Your uncle Liu has many students in the south. If you have any difficulties, remember to let us know and we will help you if we can."

Liu Meng closed the door, and the sound of wind and rain suddenly became much quieter. The family came to the dining table in the living room and sat down to talk.

"Yes, don't be too formal." Liu Shutian said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Liu, Aunt Qin, I am sorry to trouble you today."

"Brother Hongchang, I want to eat noodles too." Liu Fang in his arms said tenderly.

This girl, like her sister, has been a beauty since she was young. She is delicate and has a rosy face, which makes her very cute.

Liu Meng was surprised and asked, "Aren't you going to Uncle Zhao's house for a family dinner? Can you still eat now?"

"It was too hot, so we didn't eat much." Qin Shujuan continued. She didn't have the nerve to say that the food cooked by the Zhao family was not delicious.

Ever since they had eaten the food cooked by Liu Hongchang, their family's appetites became more picky and they started to be more particular about the food.

Liu Shutian said with a smile: "Cook a bowl of noodles for each of us. Hong Chang's cooking skills are really amazing. Everything he cooks is delicious."

"Let Hongchang finish eating the noodles first before cooking. You guys aren't in a hurry, are you?" Liu Meng said with a smile.

Liu Shutian smiled and said, "No rush, this is a good time for us to take a break." Having said that, Liu Hongchang still finished the noodles in a few bites, then went to the kitchen to stir-fry green peppers and pork, and cook noodles.

Liu Meng came to the kitchen with the bowl, ate noodles and talked to him, looking at Liu Hongchang with eyes as gentle as water.

"Be careful, don't let Uncle Liu and Aunt Qin find out that we are doing bad things." Liu Hongchang reminded in a low voice.

Liu Meng smiled disapprovingly and said, "You are so daring, are you scared now?"

"Ha! This is something we both agree on. Don't put all the blame on me!" Liu Hongchang chuckled.

Liu Meng smiled and said, "But if you hadn't thought about me back then, would we have been able to have this relationship?"

"If you say so, I won't come here anymore. Anyway, I get everything without suffering any loss." Liu Hongchang said with a wicked smile.

"How dare you!" Liu Meng raised her eyebrows and glared at him, then her expression softened and she whispered, "Is it me who is shameless?"

"Don't say that. I still like you very much." Liu Hongchang looked at her gently and said.

Liu Meng giggled, turned her body to the side, looked shy, and ate the noodles in small bites, feeling very happy.

The two of them flirted with each other, and soon, four bowls of noodles were cooked. Liu Hongchang brought them to the living room on plates.

It was still raining heavily outside, but Liu Hongchang didn't rush to leave. He sat aside and chatted with the Liu family.

Liu Shutian is a professor who has contact with many people and gave Liu Hongchang a lot of useful information.

In general, people are still quite cautious about urban reform because they have no experience, so they are crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Liu Shutian reminded Liu Hongchang that it is best to start a small business first to accumulate experience, connections, channels, etc. Don't be too ambitious and expect to become rich overnight.

It’s not that I’m afraid of losing money, but the environment is not mature enough. No matter what industry you are in, once there is some momentum, there will be people who will be concerned and opposed, and you might get into trouble.

"In addition, although doing business in partnership with others is prone to disputes, it is also easy to share risks." Liu Shutian said earnestly.

"Especially when the business becomes bigger, you have to bring in a few people with strong backgrounds to share some of the profits. You can only gain if you give."

Liu Meng pouted and said, "Hongchang hasn't even started its business yet. Isn't it too early for you to say this now, Dad?"

"Not early. Uncle Liu is right. It's always right to consider things in advance and prepare for a rainy day." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

In fact, he understood all of Liu Shutian's suggestions. At least in the next three to five years, the environment for private enterprises was indeed not very mature.

So after Liu Hongchang went to the south, he planned to go to Hong Kong Island first to try his luck and earn some start-up capital.

Then, you can return to the mainland to operate under the name of Hong Kong capital. This will make you more popular these days, and it will seem more upscale when you say it out loud.

As for the mainland, he plans to open a high-end private restaurant in the newly purchased yard, and the decoration is also arranged in this way.

The target customers are mainly small circles and it is run as a club.

This way, you can make connections and sell wine at the same time. You can make money with less risk and develop step by step.

Of course, Liu Hongchang would not spread these ideas everywhere.

He likes to ask others for information, but rarely brags about his own affairs. There is not much benefit in talking about trivial things.

"The boss wrote that he will be retiring this year, and I don't know what he will do when he comes back." Qin Shujuan took a bite of noodles and frowned.

Liu Meng's brother Liu Cheng is actually the son of Liu Shutian and Qin Shujuan's sister Qin Shuqin.

He has a low level of education and joined the army before graduating from junior high school. He was not promoted in the army, and his job placement after retirement is probably average.

"What to do? We have to wait until he comes back to find a solution and see what he wants to do." Liu Shutian pondered.

Liu Meng continued, "He wrote to me and said that he could drive and wanted to be a driver when he came back."

"It's not difficult to be a driver, but the future prospects are limited." Liu Shutian shook his head when he heard this.

Liu Meng pouted and said, "My brother guessed that's how you guys see it, so he didn't dare to say it."
