Chapter 504 Xu Ce Returns to China
Xu Hanqi wrote a letter to Shen Qingran every two weeks, telling her about his daily life and hinting that he missed her very much.
Shen Qingran received some of the letters, but since it cost three or four dollars to send a letter from China to the United States, she thought it was too expensive. So in a year, she only replied to Xu Hanqi three letters.
In response to Xu Hanqi's hint, Shen Qingran frankly stated that she did not want to have a love relationship without a happy ending, nor would she marry outside her family, and her husband must live in the same city as her.
Xu Hanqi wrote back to Shen Qingran, saying that he would find a way to return to China and asked her not to agree to be someone else's girlfriend, and to discuss everything after they met.
When Xu Hanqi received the first reply from Shen Qingran, he urged Xu Ce to return to China.
San Ye is the major shareholder of Xu Ce's restaurant and Wen Xin's clothing store. After deducting various expenses, he needs to hand over 70% of the profits every month.
Because the two of them are hard-working and have business acumen, they can make a lot of money for the Third Master every year.
Xu Ce's eldest son Xu Hanhua works in a financial company on Wall Street. He helps his third uncle manage some of the assets and has made some money through the stock market in recent years.
In the eyes of the Third Master, the value of Xu Ce's family is a hundred times greater than that of his subordinates who only know how to fight, drink and make trouble.
Anyone who dares to target Xu Ce's family will be dealt with by the Third Master in order to protect his own "cash cow".
After receiving the reply from his father, Xu Ce told his third uncle that he wanted to return to China.
The Third Master disagreed and refused to let him leave, saying that the restaurant's profits were not as good as last year. He would only give him half a month's vacation if he could increase the profits.
In order to return to China, Xu Ce has been trying every means to increase the restaurant's profits for nearly a year, and finally in December, he met San Ye's requirements.
After Xu Ce's repeated requests, the Third Master approved him for two months of vacation, but only he and Xu Hanqi could return to China, while Wen Xin and Xu Hanhua's family had to stay.
Xu Ce tried many methods and was even willing to give up 9% of his family's assets in the United States, but the Third Master still did not agree to let him take his whole family away.
He had no choice but to return to China with Xu Hanqi first, and make plans for other matters later...
On January 80, 1, Xu Ce finally returned to his long-lost motherland.
When he left the airport, he was filled with emotion. He had previously thought that life abroad would be better than at home, but after he went there, he realized that his life was even more humble than when he was at home.
If he could go back in time, he would definitely not take his wife and children abroad, but stay with his parents and live a simple life, which is better than living under someone else's roof and living in fear in the United States...
Jiangcheng currently does not have an international airport, so Xu Ce and his team’s flight stops at Kyoto Airport.
When Xu Hanqi thought that this was where Shen Qingran went to school, he suggested going to Huaqing University to find Shen Qingran first, and then take the train back to Jiangcheng.
As a person who had experienced this, Xu Ce understood the urgency of young people when dating, and agreed to Xu Hanhua's proposal.
Xu Ce didn't want to be an eyesore, so after exchanging some domestic currency at the airport, he found a guesthouse near Huaqing University to rest. He asked Xu Hanqi to find someone himself and they could have dinner together later.
Shen Qingran didn't tell Xu Hanqi which class she was in.
Xu Hanqi stuffed a candy he brought back from the United States into the announcer's pocket at the radio station and asked them to help him shout and have Shen Qingran wait for him downstairs at the radio station.
The announcer saw that Xu Hanqi was handsome, capable, and the candy he gave was imported goods sold in big stores, so he agreed to help him.
"Student Shen Qingran from the Department of Architecture, please go downstairs at the radio station. Your friends are waiting for you."
Shen Qingran was about to go to the library to borrow a book. When she heard what was said on the radio, she wondered who was looking for her.
Seeing a familiar figure from afar, Shen Qingran thought she was dazzled. When she got closer and confirmed it was Xu Hanqi, she was surprised and delighted: "Why are you here?!"
Xu Hanqi: "I said I would come back to China to find you, so of course I have to keep my word."
Shen Qingran smiled happily: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"
Xu Hanqi: "If you are willing to be my girlfriend, I will stay for two months. If you are willing to marry me, I will not leave."
Shen Qingran: "Slippery! Did you come back alone?"
Xu Hanqi: "My dad came back with me. He was a little tired and was resting in the guesthouse outside the school."
Shen Qingran: "It's almost time for dinner. I'll treat you to Kyoto cuisine."
Xu Hanqi: "Okay, I've eaten Kyoto cuisine before, so I'm in for a treat today."
Shen Qingran invited Xu Hanqi and Xu Ce to eat roast duck. After ordering the dishes and paying, Xu Hanqi was the first to stuff the money into the waiter's hand.
Shen Qingran: "Didn't we agree that I would treat you?"
Xu Hanqi: "I was just joking with you at school. How can I, a grown man, let a girl like you pay? If you really want to treat me, how about cooking a few dishes for me in the future when you have the chance?"
Shen Qingran remembered what her mother said, that in front of a man, one should not be in a hurry to show oneself, let alone display one's talents without reservation. One should leave opportunities to men, so that the family will be happy and one can be freed from endless housework.
"I do not know how to cook."
Xu Hanqi: "...It's okay, I can cook a little bit, and I'll cook it for you when the time comes."
Shen Qingran smiled sweetly: "You are getting off topic, try these dishes and see if they are delicious."
Xu Hanqi tasted a piece of roast duck and praised it for being delicious, saying it was more delicious than the roast chicken he had eaten in the United States. It was very delicious when dipped in the sauce.
Shen Qingran: "I also think that domestic roast duck tastes better, but now many people have a special admiration for foreign food. No matter whether it tastes good or not, as long as they can buy some, they feel proud.
Uncle Xu has many years of experience in restaurant management. If he returns to China to open an American-style restaurant, the business will definitely be very good. Moreover, as returned overseas Chinese, the government has support policies and can help you solve the venue problem. "
Xu Ce was a little tempted, but when he thought of the Third Master, his heart sank.
He wanted to return to China to do business, but the Third Master probably wouldn't agree. Even if he did, the conditions would be very harsh.
Xu Ce: "Your suggestion is very good. I'll think about it. When will you have a holiday?"
Shen Qingran: "At the end of January."
Xu Ce: "Let's go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow. When you get back, come to my house. I'll cook a few dishes to thank you. Without you, I wouldn't be able to contact my family so smoothly."
Shen Qingran: "Uncle Xu, you're welcome. It's just a small favor."
Xu Hanqi: "You don't want to go to my house, can I go to yours?"
Shen Qingran: "...My parents said that if I want to date someone, I need to go through many trials and tribulations. If you are mentally prepared, the door of my house is always open to you."
Xu Hanqi: "I believe that with my sincerity, I will be able to impress the uncles and aunts."
Shen Qingran did not undermine Xu Hanqi's confidence. Her parents had high expectations for their son-in-law and would not "marry" her off just because of a few sweet words...
