Chapter 60

"Well then, you young people chat, I'm an old man and need to rest." Jin Chengyou smiled and said, "When you get old, your energy just can't keep up. Back in the day, I..."

Jin Li gave a bitter smile, nodded to Xu Junran and her husband, and helped the old man upstairs.

In the living room, only Xu Junran, the Cao brothers, and a bewildered Lin Yuqing were left.

Cao Junming personally went to the kitchen, took out a few dishes, and brought out two bottles of white wine, pouring a glass for everyone, including Lin Yuqing.

"Sit down, we're all family here." The oldest, Cao Junming, pointed to the sofa and said to Cao Junwei and Lin Yuqing.

Lin Yuqing sat down next to Xu Junran, while Cao Junwei sat beside his brother.

"Junran, tell us, what are your plans for going to Lingnan this time?" Cao Junming looked into Xu Junran's eyes and asked seriously.

For some reason, this time he felt that Xu Junran had changed a lot after returning to his hometown. The old Sixth Brother he used to know, even if he had thoughts, would keep them to himself, working hard but appearing somewhat weak, and even if he was wronged, he wouldn't tell anyone, just enduring silently. But this time, when he saw Xu Junran again, although the intimate feeling between them was still there, Cao Junming clearly felt that Xu Junran had changed a lot.

At the very least, the current Xu Junran had a commanding presence, not only being well-organized but also, most importantly, having the sharpness of a politician.

If Cao Junming hadn't come from a political family, it would have been hard for him to discern this change in Xu Junran.

The current Xu Junran acted more like an official, his methods still somewhat naive but his considerations very comprehensive, making it hard to associate him with a young man in his early twenties who had just graduated from university. If he hadn't known him before, he might have even suspected that the current Xu Junran was already in his forties or fifties.

But this change in Xu Junran made Cao Junming feel even more uncomfortable.

He only had one younger brother, Cao Junwei, and the rest were sisters. In fact, Cao Junming had once had another younger brother, but he died in a northern rural area due to lack of medical care during the countryside movement. That brother looked a lot like Xu Junran and was very smart and sensible.

Because of this, Cao Junming and Cao Junwei were very close to Xu Junran, treating him like a younger brother.

Xu Junran didn't know about this, only the Cao family did.

"Right, Junran, it's not that Brother Wei is criticizing you, but doing business isn't like studying; just working hard isn't enough," Cao Junwei earnestly told Xu Junran. He had also heard from Lin Yuqing about Xu Junran's plans. While he was somewhat tempted by the construction company idea, he didn't dare to make a rash decision. He thought he was bold enough as a businessman, but Xu Junran's boldness surpassed his, almost seeming unrealistic.

Lin Yuqing also looked at Xu Junran with a worried expression.

Xu Junran smiled slightly and said to Cao Junming, "Brother, what do you think about the future development prospects of Pengfei City and the entire Lingnan region?"

Cao Junming was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Within twenty years, as long as the old man is still around, the economy of Lingnan will inevitably develop rapidly."

The "old man" he referred to was the wise elder who had led China's reform and opening up through several ups and downs.

Xu Junran was stunned, unable to speak for a long time as he looked at Cao Junming.

No wonder Cao Junming would become one of the giants in the future; with such foresight, he had the right to aspire to the top.

Pengfei City was currently just a pilot area for a national policy, and Lingnan Province was not one of the more developed regions along China's coast. Although the reform and opening up had been going on for several years, the changes there were not significant, and there were many problems, leading to much skepticism. Some even doubted how long the special economic zones would last.

But only Xu Junran knew that these special economic zones not only continued but became more prosperous, with more and more zones appearing across the country. The economy entered a high-speed development track, and Lingnan became one of the most developed regions in China, with Pengfei City becoming one of the four most prosperous cities in China.

All of this would happen over the next thirty years.

But Cao Junming had already foreseen this.

Some people are naturally suited for politics, and Xu Junran had to admit this.

"How is the old man's health?" Xu Junran asked Cao Junming. He knew that this brother was the one who made the final decisions. If he agreed, Xu Junran could fully implement his plans and establish his own network and foundation in the upcoming wave of development in China.

Xu Junran, being as smart as he was, understood that the next ten years would be a transitional period for China's economic development, with countless opportunities. Whoever seized these opportunities would almost certainly secure their first pot of gold, whether in politics or economics.

Cao Junming, also a brilliant person, immediately understood Xu Junran's meaning.

As long as the old man was still alive, the reform and opening up in Lingnan was inevitable, and prosperity was just a matter of time.

"So, your idea is to take advantage of this opportunity to start that construction company?" Cao Junming looked at Xu Junran and asked.

Xu Junran nodded, "Yes, I originally planned to ask Brother Two for help, but now I think it's not appropriate. As you said, Brother Two's father was just promoted there, and if we do this, it might not be good for him."

Cao Junming said, "Yes, so what are your plans?"

Xu Junran chuckled and looked at Cao Junwei, who was listening to their conversation, "Isn't there a suitable candidate right here?"

Cao Junwei was taken aback, then shook his head vigorously and shouted, "What are you doing? I'm telling you, my business is doing well, don't try to drag me into your schemes."

Cao Junming frowned and softly scolded, "Shut up! You've been running around using Dad's name, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet!"

Hearing his brother's scolding, Cao Junwei shrank back, not daring to speak again.

Xu Junran smiled and continued to Cao Junming, "Brother Wei's business as a middleman isn't a long-term solution. You can see that the country's policies are likely to change in the next few years, and with the old man's position, you and your brother will definitely be closely watched. If you get criticized for being a middleman, it might not be good for the old man."

Cao Junming nodded, "I've thought about the problems you mentioned. I was planning to talk to this rascal, but he's always avoiding me, and I can't catch him."

Saying this, he reached out and slapped Cao Junwei on the back of the head, "Can't you give me a break? Middleman? I think you're just causing trouble."

"Causing trouble?"

Xu Junran suddenly thought of a popular term from the future and started coughing uncontrollably.
