Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 168 The Mad Electricity Chapter

"Brother Yuan, tonight's performance was fantastic! You must be starving after working so late. Come on, I've prepared some food for you."

As she spoke, she gently took Zhao Yuan's hand and led him to the dining table.

Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded in response:

"Yeah, I am a little hungry. Let's eat together."

So the two sat down side by side and began to enjoy this rare moment of peace and warmth in the dead of night.

Just then, Lin Fangfang seemed to suddenly remember something and said:

"Oh, by the way, several people called to congratulate you. But since you're not back yet, I just told them and hung up. You can call them back tomorrow."

After saying that, she held a delicious pastry to Zhaoyuan's lips, her eyes full of love.

"This is just a rehearsal. The real show is tomorrow morning! That's when the phone will be bombarded with calls! Let's hurry up and get ready for bed, or in a few hours we might not even be able to sleep."

Zhao Yuan mumbled incoherently, chewing on a fragrant dumpling.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was six o'clock the next morning.

The telephone at home suddenly rang, like a firecracker that had been lit, ringing incessantly and instantly starting a frantic bombardment.

One phone call after another came in, all of them congratulating him.

"Zhaoyuan, Happy New Year!"

On the other end of the phone came Secretary Bai Bin's hearty laughter and warm greetings.

"Secretary Bai, Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Actually, I should have been the one to wish you a Happy New Year first, but since early this morning, the phone has been ringing non-stop. I haven't even been able to make a single New Year's greeting yet!"

Zhao Yuan's face was full of smiles, his tone carrying a mixture of helplessness and joy.

"Haha, it's all the same! We don't need to get bogged down in formalities. Speaking of which, your advertisement yesterday was brilliant and ingenious! I bet starting today, your company's products will be sold out completely! But don't forget, no matter how big your business gets, you should always keep an eye on the development of your hometown!"

Secretary Bai Bin earnestly gave his instructions.

"Of course! My hometown is where I was born and raised; it's my root!"

With a smile on his face and his eyes sparkling with deep longing for his hometown, Zhao Yuan continued:

"After years of development, Zhao's Kitchen has laid a solid foundation, so we plan to open a branch in the provincial capital this year. We will have to rely on Secretary Bai's guidance then! After all, the main battlefield of our Zhao's Food Factory has always been in Jinyang County and the provincial capital."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Bai Bin burst into hearty laughter and quickly replied:

"Haha, good, good, I'm relieved to hear you say that, Zhaoyuan! If you need land to expand your business, just let me know, and the Provincial Party Committee will definitely give you the green light! A boss like you who is honest and upright in doing business is exactly the kind of person we welcome and support!"

Zhao Yuan nodded gratefully and said:

"Alright, Secretary Bai, thank you in advance! I'll definitely come back to visit you and wish you a Happy New Year after I'm done with this busy period. I'll also invite Director Qi and Secretary Luo over so we can all have a good get-together and have a good time!"

The two chatted happily for a while longer until they both felt it was time to say goodbye and hang up the phone.

However, the phone rang again immediately after the call was hung up.

"Zhaoyuan, Happy New Year!"

It turned out to be a call from Zhong Weijie.

"Uncle, Happy New Year!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Yuan's face broke into a bright smile once again.

"Zhaoyuan, our sponsorship this time was a huge success! I never expected the host to even give a special introduction, that's wonderful! I already notified the warehouse staff, factory managers, deputy factory managers, and middle-level managers to come to the company to work overtime early this morning."

I reckon that as soon as the company opens today, a lot of people will flock in to buy gift boxes to give as gifts.

But don't worry, we've already made thorough preparations in advance.

I must say, you have a really keen eye! We've been working around the clock during the Spring Festival, so the warehouse is overflowing with goods right now.

Zhong Weijie said with a big smile, and you could clearly feel his great joy from his words.

"Yes, well done, thank you for your hard work, Uncle. By the way, how was your New Year celebration in Jinyang County?"

Zhao Yuan inquired with concern.

"Haha, that's great, that's great."

Zhong Weijie answered with a smile.

At this moment, Shang Haiyan answered the phone and hurriedly wished Zhaoyuan a Happy New Year:

"Mr. Zhao, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Director Shang, Happy New Year! Could you please pass on my New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt? Oh no, no, it would be more appropriate to call them Grandpa and Grandma, but that sounds too old. How about we call them Teacher Shang and his wife? Please remember to convey my New Year's wishes to Teacher Shang and his wife."

Zhao Yuan responded with a smile as well.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhao! You can call me whatever you like, it's just a title. Could you please give my regards to Lin Fangfang, Factory Director Zhong, and Aunt Zhong for the New Year?"

Shanghai Haiyan said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but tease Shang Haiyan:

"Director Shang, that won't do. How can you call her Director Zhong or Aunt Zhong? You should call her Director Zhong or Sister Zhong."

Shang Haiyan nodded as if suddenly understanding, and replied:

"Okay, I know, I'll definitely change my address. Director Zhong and I are heading to the factory right now, I bet we'll be busy from here on out."

Zhao Yuan responded:

"Okay, then you guys go ahead and get busy, goodbye."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

However, just as he put the phone down, it rang again.

And so the phone kept ringing incessantly until noon, when the surroundings finally quieted down.

At this moment, Lin Fangfang carefully carried over a steaming cup of tea, gently placed it in front of Zhao Yuan, and softly said:

"Hurry up and drink some water. You've been busy since this morning, your mouth is dry, and your throat is probably on fire. Don't rush, let's eat first. Look at you, you haven't even had breakfast yet."

Lin Fangfang's face was full of heartache.
