Chapter 1590: Chapter 1591: Made a Little Business

“I happened to have some business in the Western Territory, so I came by. We haven’t seen each other in over twenty years, and you’re just the same as before.”

Liu Xin said.

“It’s good that you came, it’s good that you came. Where’s your daughter? Why didn’t you bring her along?”

Cheng Rong looked beside Liu Xin and asked.

“Mengmeng is pregnant, so she can’t travel long distances.”

Liu Xin explained.

“Sigh, us women really have a tough fate. If you don’t marry a good husband, you just become a baby-making machine. So pitiful.”

Cheng Rong sighed and said, “Who’s this? Your new boyfriend?”

She suddenly looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

Xiao Chen had a handsome appearance and a graceful demeanor, always quite liked by the women.

“Don’t talk nonsense, this is my son-in-law, Jiang Meng’s husband.”

Liu Xin said.

“Hello, Aunt Cheng Rong.”

Xiao Chen greeted with a smile.

“Call me sister, not aunt. It makes me sound old.”

Cheng Rong said with a smile, “So you’re Jiang Meng’s husband. You look quite nice, but unfortunately, looks can’t be eaten.

I heard you’re a fast driver?

How did Jiang Meng end up marrying you? She is, after all, a graduate from a prestigious university.”

“That’s because she has a better eye than you.”

Xiao Chen said lightly, “She can see the good, while you can’t. By the way, aunt, I heard your daughter married well.

A young girl in her twenties marrying a handsome guy in his fifties.

That’s both handsome and wealthy.

But I wonder if your daughter is happy with that?”

He didn’t bother with subtle twists and turns, speaking plainly.

Liu Xin almost burst out laughing beside him.

Cheng Rong wanted to mock Xiao Chen, but ended up being completely countered by him.

For some money, letting her daughter marry a coal boss in his fifties, that’s really not something a caring mother should do.

“You don’t understand, I’m doing it for her good. What’s wrong with being older? As long as there’s money.”

Cheng Rong said disdainfully, “You’re still young, you don’t get it. Anyway, now that you’re here, come inside. There are a lot of young people in there.

Learn from them, you need to be ambitious.”

“Absolutely!”

Xiao Chen smiled and followed Liu Xin inside.

Truth be told, there really are quite a few young people here. It feels like a matchmaking event with all the guys and girls gathered.

Everyone sat together.

Introducing their sons and daughters, hoping to find an ideal son-in-law or daughter-in-law.

Twenty years ago, as long as someone had some skill, they aren’t doing poorly now.

Besides, this is a college reunion.

College students from twenty years ago were a big deal.

And from prestigious schools too.

That’s even more impressive.

So those present include official bigwigs, business elites, truly a high-level talent gathering.

The topics of conversation are different too.

“This is my son, Chen Xing, started his own company. I only invested ten million initially, and now his company is valued at a billion!”

“My son, Liu Guang, is also doing well. He’s the marketing director at Langpu Group.”

“My daughter…”

What was meant to be a class reunion has now turned into a boasting about kids session.

Everyone wanted to praise their sons and daughters like they were flowers.

Even the most ordinary had decent white-collar jobs.

“Liu Xin, where does your son-in-law work?”

They hadn’t really noticed Xiao Chen until now.

Cheng Rong deliberately asked.

Liu Xin was about to speak when Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Me? I’m currently living off my wife, not doing much work. But my wife is quite capable, she started a small company, it’s enough to get by.”

Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, many almost spat out their tea.

Wow, living off a woman and still speaking so boldly, that’s some audacity.

Liu Xin smiled bitterly.

Actually, in Xiao Chen’s eyes, Xinmeng Group really is a small company, so Xiao Chen wasn’t lying.

“Ahahaha, Liu Xin, your son-in-law sure is humorous.”

Cheng Rong laughed and casually changed the topic, “Everyone, have you heard? Recently, a company called Xinmeng Group emerged in the Western Territory.

My husband said this Xinmeng Group developed incredibly fast, reaching the national top twenty enterprises within just over a year.

The rapidly developing Stone God Family in the Western Territory seems to be associated with Xinmeng Group.

My husband has been wanting to connect with this Xinmeng Group, and my son-in-law also wants to reach out to their executives to see if there’s any potential business collaboration.

Do any of you have any connections?”

“Speaking of this Xinmeng Group, it’s quite mysterious. I heard they use ninety percent of their annual profits on employee welfare and social charity.

The owner only takes ten percent profit.”

“Yes, I heard that too. I can’t believe there’s still someone like that in this day and age.”

“It’s not stupidity; it’s this model they’re using to edge into the market, which is why their growth has been so rapid. Watch, once they gain control, things will change.”

“Right, right, I’ve heard that too. It’s actually nothing new. Many Internet companies operate at a loss to provide subsidies, but once they monopolize, they’ll make big bucks.”

The people here aren’t simpletons, so their observations have some merit.

Unfortunately, they don’t understand that Xinmeng Group aims beyond profits for greater goals.

Dragon Country’s international situation isn’t favorable.

Oppressed by global oligarchs and corporate giants.

It truly needs the rise of national enterprises to counteract.

Xiao Chen supports Xinmeng Group partly because of Jiang Meng’s ambitions and partly to find a reliable partner for Xiao Corporation.

And to drive the rise of more national enterprises.

During its development, Xinmeng Group has supported numerous companies.

“How can sparrows know the ambitions of swans?”

Liu Xin said disdainfully.

“What do you mean by that, Liu Xin?”

Cheng Rong frowned and asked, “From what you’re saying, you seem quite familiar with Xinmeng Group?”

“Certainly more than you.”

Liu Xin said calmly, “The mission of Xinmeng Group isn’t actually to profit but to support national enterprises.

If you truly understood Xinmeng Group, you’d realize that most of their charity money is invested in developing high-tech industries.

Molecular industries, materials industries, chip industries, and a series of high-end sectors.

They’re investing in all of them.

Their annual R&D expenses are over a hundred billion.

So, don’t look at Xinmeng Group with your small-mindedness.

Xinmeng Group is based in Longcheng, and I’m a native of Longcheng, which makes me more knowledgeable about it than you all.”

“No wonder; you talk as if you work at Xinmeng Group.”

Cheng Rong smiled and said, “Turns out you’re just a spiritual shareholder. Alright, let’s stop talking about Xinmeng Group, and let’s introduce ourselves.

Since we’re all here today, we might as well see how we can help each other in the future.

Whether in business or in life.

I’ll start by introducing my son-in-law. I bet many of you have heard of him.”
