Chen Haoxuan's business was growing larger and larger, and he could only follow in Chen Haorong's footsteps, which severely impacted his self-esteem. He wanted to surpass Chen Haoxuan and take over his business, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't outdo him. He couldn't come up with profitable ideas or find partners for collaboration. The more Chen Haorong thought about it, the more frustrated he felt, so he decided to go out and drink.
Chen Haoxuan purchased tens of thousands of Fish Fry and placed them in the Fish Pond. There were various types of Fish Fry, with the majority being grass carp, and he hired three fish farming experts to help take care of them.
After contracting the Fish Pond, Chen Haoxuan started other businesses as well. He printed a large number of business cards in the county town and had Chen Yuebin distribute them everywhere. He was buying bamboo. Many people were purchasing bamboo at different prices, but Chen Haoxuan had his advantages: he had a good reputation and conducted cash transactions, offering prices that were slightly higher than others.
To save money, Chen Haoxuan hired two Dongfeng Trucks to help load his goods, paying them once. If there was no business, the two drivers could do whatever they wanted.
It seemed that Chen Haoxuan was aiming for big profits; he contracted the Fish Pond, bought bamboo and stones, and then went to the city to purchase machines for making dolls and ten truckloads of fabric. He hired ten women from the village who knew how to sew clothes and paid them by piecework.
Now it was May, and Children's Day was approaching. Every holiday was an opportunity for profit. Just like now, Chen Haoxuan wanted to make some cute dolls to sell during Children's Day.
Time passed quickly, and a month-long break was coming to an end. Chen Haoxuan entrusted his business to Chen Yuebin for management. However, he did not hand over the stone purchasing business; instead, he instructed him to notify the villagers that stones would be purchased every Saturday from now on, with no purchases at other times.
Chen Haoxuan asked Lin Hao and others to look after his home since there were still many valuable stones there. He also instructed Lin Hao and the others to patrol the Fish Pond on the mountain from time to time, including at night.
After giving these instructions, Chen Haoxuan returned to New City. During his time in Chen Family Village, he earned over two hundred thousand Renminbi. If he included the unsold stones and the investment in Fish Fry in the Fish Pond, he had made nearly five hundred thousand Renminbi.
Chen Haoxuan had bet with Chen Haorong that he would earn one hundred thousand Renminbi within a year. Now, Chen Haoxuan had made fifty thousand Renminbi in just one month, far exceeding their bet in both time and amount. He should have taken several hundred thousand Renminbi to avenge the humiliation he suffered earlier; why didn't he do that?
In fact, Chen Haoxuan thought this way: if he was going to do something, he would do it big; he wouldn't humiliate Chen Haorong directly but instead make him feel insignificant along with his family. Chen Haoxuan wanted to make money; he wanted to buy luxury cars and build villas while leaving Chen Haorong far behind.
When returning to New City, Chen Haoxuan did not ride his motorcycle; he gave it to Chen Yuebin as a benefit. He took the bus back and immediately saw Zhou Kexin and others in his newly rented warehouse—Yang Lin, Liu Junfeng… all his friends from New City University were gathered there. This was all thanks to Zhang Qing; it was he who spread the news of Chen Haoxuan's return.
In the warehouse rented by Chen Haoxuan, Hua Lingwei couldn't help but take Chen Haoxuan's hand as soon as she saw him, playfully saying, "Chen Haoxuan, you're amazing! You've built such a big business in just a month." While Chen Haoxuan was in Chen Family Village, Hua Lingwei followed his progress closely every day. She either chatted with him or inquired about him from the merchants he collaborated with. Hearing those merchants praise Chen Haoxuan as a business genius made her feel a sense of accomplishment since she had introduced him to them.
"Hehe... this is all your credit. Without your help, my development wouldn't have gone so smoothly," Chen Haoxuan joked with Hua Lingwei. He genuinely appreciated her; if it weren't for Hua Lingwei introducing many merchants to him, his progress would not have been so rapid unless he had sold some of the technologies from Future Century.
"I'm not that great; I just helped you make some connections. By the way, you said you had a gift for me. Where's my gift?" Hua Lingwei extended her delicate little hand and smiled.
Chen Haoxuan took a figurine out of his bag and handed it to Hua Lingwei. "Here, this is a gift for you. See if you like it."
Hua Lingwei happily accepted it and, upon seeing the exquisite statue, couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow—Chen Haoxuan, where did you buy this statue? It's so delicate!"
Chen Haoxuan smiled mysteriously. "Take a closer look at the statue's appearance."
"Hey—why does this statue look so familiar?" Hua Lingwei remarked.
Zhou Kexin leaned over, and when she saw the statue in Hua Lingwei's hand, she felt a pang of jealousy. She realized that the statue was carved to resemble Hua Lingwei perfectly; it looked lifelike as if it were an exact likeness. This made Zhou Kexin understand that Hua Lingwei held a significant place in Chen Haoxuan's heart. Zhou Kexin lightly reminded Hua Lingwei, "It's carved to be you; of course, it looks familiar!"
"That's right! This is me! No wonder I felt it was so familiar! It's beautiful; I love it! Thank you, Chen Haoxuan," Hua Lingwei said joyfully. In her excitement, she impulsively stood on her tiptoes and quickly kissed Chen Haoxuan on the cheek. Afterward, she regretted it; how could she be so impulsive? Chen Haoxuan was the boy her best friend Zhou Kexin liked.
Hua Lingwei turned to look at Zhou Kexin beside her, and sure enough, Zhou Kexin had a stern expression on her face, clearly feeling jealous.
"It's just a carving; there's no need for such huge gratitude!" Chen Haoxuan laughed.
On the other side, Chen Yina had a similar expression to Zhou Kexin's; she was also feeling jealous. Having grown up with Chen Haoxuan and secretly liked him for many years without ever kissing him, she felt envious while also admiring Hua Lingwei's courage.
"Your hands are so skillful, you've carved this stone to look just like me," Hua Lingwei shyly said. The stone that Chen Haoxuan gave him was entirely pure white, resembling a sacred object.
Chen Haoxuan knew that women are creatures who easily get jealous, so he had prepared several gifts in advance. Zhou Kexin also received one, and even Yang Lin got one. Chen Haoxuan took out a small bamboo flute from his bag, which he had made by hand.
