Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

Chapter 292 Stay true to your original aspirations and remain steadfast!

Old Li, who started by selling plastic flowers, was already a renowned patriotic businessman in Hong Kong during the 1950s and 60s. Because of his close ties with Beijing, he faced suppression from the British, who refused to sell him land, even if he had the money. He gradually withdrew from the Hong Kong real estate market. Old Li seized the opportunity, acquiring large amounts of land. By the early 1970s, he owned 6.3 million square feet of buildings, founded Cheung Kong Holdings, and laid the foundation for his later rise to become one of the four major families in Hong Kong's real estate industry.

Kwok, an employee of Sun Hung Kai Properties, and Li, another employee who spun out from Sun Hung Kai, founded their own company, Henderson Land Development. Both of them keenly sensed the impending boom in the real estate industry and made a major foray into real estate, not only purchasing new land but also acquiring old buildings, renovating them, and reselling them. The combined building area of ​​the two was in no way inferior to that of Li, who started slightly earlier.

There's also Old Zheng from New World Development. Although he started out selling gold and silver jewelry and it's his main business, he hasn't neglected real estate either.

Compared to these four companies, his real estate company started relatively late and lacked a strong foundation and background. However, this did not affect the speed and scale of his land acquisitions. He had a keen eye for the future and had no reason to lag behind others, not even the four major families. No, wait, it should be called the "Five Tigers."

And his real estate company is the 'head of the Five Tigers'!

During the Spring Festival of 77, he got engaged to Xiaobai. They didn't invite many people, just some close relatives from both families. His maternal grandparents, his eldest and second uncles, and his cousin all came. They didn't go to a hotel; they just stayed in their own courtyard. He and his father, two roughnecks, weren't good at cooking, so they left it to his mother-in-law, his aunts, and several other women to do the cooking in the kitchen.

Some took charge of cooking, others chopped vegetables, and still others started the fire.

"Xiaobai, don't go into the kitchen, you'll choke. You're the main character today, we can't let you do any work. Go outside and talk to Yuemin."

"It's alright, Auntie!"

Zhou Xiaobai smiled sweetly, "I'll lend you a hand."

He rolled up his sleeves and started picking vegetables.

Looking at her beautiful, pretty, and well-mannered daughter, the second aunt felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. She was very pleased with her nephew's wife.

"Yuemin is so lucky to have married such a wonderful girl as Xiaobai. You couldn't find one like her even with a lantern."

The atmosphere in the kitchen was harmonious. Outside in the courtyard, Zheng Tong, Yuan Jun, and others had also arrived. Yuan Jun remarked:

"Yuemin, you're not a good friend of mine. We're brothers who will go through thick and thin together, brothers for life. But you're the first to betray us and leave our single life. You've actually gotten married. My heart is cold."

Ning Wei joked.

“Brother Jun, you’re wrong. Everyone here today has a partner. Brother Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun are together, and Brother Jianguo is not only married but also has a child. If you ask me, you’re the one who’s left the group.”

Everyone burst into laughter!

"Hey, I'm talking to Ning Wei!"

Yuan Jun said:

"It's been over a year since we last met, and your tongue has gotten sharper and sharper. What do you mean I've left the team? I've stayed true to my principles and remained consistent. Unlike you guys, who can't resist women and are easily swayed by sweet talk, becoming 'traitors'. Forget it, forget it. The path of a hero is destined to be lonely and tragic. I won't argue with you mortals."
