CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 210: HOW IS THIS DECEIVING OR CHEATING?

Many people have some understanding of the domestic situation and know that the development in the country is now quite good, especially in the major cities, which have been built beautifully and prosperously, not inferior to cities abroad.

In fact, after 2010, more and more people choose to return to the country every year, and a decade later, being an overseas returnee has no longer become an enviable identity, with many scientists and elite talents from various countries going to China to develop.

However, now it is 2010, and the economic conditions and various aspects of the country naturally cannot be compared to those of ten years later, let alone the United States.

In the evening, at Yi Anguo’s villa in Silicon Valley, USA, Chen Xuejiao said with a smile to Yi Anguo, "Uncle Yi, I really didn’t expect that your persuasion skills are so strong! The effect is just amazing!"

"After your speech ended, many people signed contracts with us and are willing to serve back home."

"Before, our people spent a lot of effort and promised many conditions, but the results were not ideal at all, and they simply didn’t believe us."

"It’s normal for people to have concerns and thoughts. Everyone has a selfish side and thinks that whether they develop back home or not won’t affect the country’s development and certainly won’t affect anything nationally!" Yi Anguo said with a smile.

"As for the great rejuvenation of our Chinese nation, to them, whether they contribute or not makes no difference."

"Everyone holds this thought, so they believe that there is nothing wrong with not returning home to develop and staying in the United States, with no psychological burden at all."

"Not to say that everyone is patriotic, but at least most people have a heart of patriotism."

"I just stimulated their patriotism and promised various benefits, allowing them to put down their mental burdens."

"They can serve the country and receive substantial returns, earning no less than in the US, so of course they will be tempted, and it makes sense for them to be willing to return home to develop."

Chen Xuejiao said with a helpless, bitter smile: "We’ve often said such things to them before, and we’ve also promised them many conditions."

"But why weren’t they at all tempted? So I think your speech played a significant role."

Yi Anguo shook his head and said: "I have done my best, but as for how effective it is, I have no confidence in my heart."

"Now that you say the effect is good, I’m relieved. At least this trip to the US wasn’t in vain."

"Chinese New Year is coming soon; wrap up the work here in the US quickly. Last year, you didn’t return home for the festival. If you don’t return this year, your old dad might not even be able to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner, suspecting I have eaten you."

Chen Xuejiao smiled brightly and said, "Then why don’t you just eat me and see what my dad would do to you?"

Yi Anguo imagined this and laughed, saying, "If I did that, I’d be at a loss. I already call him Brother Ou out of respect for your dad."

"If I really ate you, wouldn’t I have to call him Uncle when I see your dad afterwards? I don’t want to do such a losing thing!"

Chen Xuejiao said begrudgingly, "Uncle Yi! You’re so bad! I’ve helped you with so many things, being a talented woman of beauty and wit! You clearly got a big bargain, so why do you still feel at a loss? Who else is like you!"

"A deal is a deal; you indeed helped me a lot, but that doesn’t mean I have to lose out. It’s your dad I have to call Uncle." Yi Anguo said with a cheerful smile.

"And did you ever ask your dad if he wants me to call him Uncle?"

Chen Xuejiao smiled bitterly and was speechless. Does this kind of thing even need to be asked? Of course, her dad wouldn’t want that.

Unless Yi Anguo was willing to explicitly and honestly marry her in the proper way.

But that is something that is absolutely impossible. Yi Anguo would never give up other women for her alone.

Chen Xuejiao is not much younger than Yi Anguo herself, but because of her father’s relationship, she had to call Yi Anguo Uncle Yi!

Although she could have avoided calling him Uncle Yi and just called him Mr. Yi when at work, but off work, in private, she still felt calling him Uncle Yi was a bit closer.

Initially, Chen Xuejiao approached Yi Anguo proactively entirely for the sake of her family’s real estate development company to get through hard times, because her father Ou Xiaolong had angered Yi Anguo, making two previously good relations become somewhat estranged.

If her family’s company couldn’t get help from Yi Anguo, it would have been impossible to get through the financial crisis, the company would go bankrupt, and they’d owe massive debts.

Since Chen Xuejiao needed a favor, she naturally had to put herself in the lowest position possible.

Approaching Yi Anguo as a junior, asking for his help, was something Chen Xuejiao had considered for a long time as the best approach.

In fact, it proved that her approach was quite good indeed. Yi Anguo not only gave a hand to Chen’s real estate company, helping them get through the crisis but also engaged in deep cooperation with them, letting Chen’s real estate company not only survive the financial crisis but develop better than before.
