They had been busy for over an hour.
It was only after Tang Qing had sent everyone off that only his family and the performance group remained in the gymnasium, working overtime to dismantle the stage and various sheds, while also loading all the backstage costumes and props into the trucks.
They would likely be busy until late into the night.
"Tangtang, keep it up,"
Tang Qing’s father approached him and offered encouragement. The annual meeting had revealed to him just how extensive his son’s business empire was. He couldn’t think of anything else to say except to support his son’s decisions.
"Absolutely,"
Tang Qing smiled brilliantly.
Career, when accompanied by the understanding and support of family, turns into a source of joy.
"Tangtang, let’s have a competition. By this time next year, let’s see whose company has the highest market value between us," Tang Kai walked up, smiling. This was family banter, but also a form of encouragement.
"No problem."
......
Outside the gymnasium.
Rong Ying and a group of entertainment reporters felt an urge to kill.
Because as soon as Tang Qing appeared, they were stared down by a group of menacing tough men, forbidding them from filming. As for other celebrities, they could do as they pleased with no restrictions, fulfilling the original promise.
The men in black had secured some interview time.
Though brief, it was enough to do their job.
But.
Now their interest in Tang Qing was greater than in any of those celebrities.
A young man whose assets were soaring toward ten billion RMB, a future tycoon.
A singer whose voice touched the soul.
A man so charming he could instantly gain countless followers.
They felt that Tang Qing was the real focus for this news piece, yet, they didn’t manage to capture his face in photos nor record his voice, speaking of which, the live effects had also stunned them.
This evening.
There was far more stimulating news than about a few celebrities.
But.
It couldn’t be reported.
No photos.
No recordings.
Who would believe it just from words alone?
They were incredibly frustrated.
...
The next day.
Early morning.
Tang Qing hurried to Tianfu Hotel.
The celebrities had left last night, and today Chai Ren and others were also returning, as well as Pu Chaodong and his group who were on the morning flight back to Shanghai Stock Market. It could be said that the annual meeting came in a rush and went in a rush, just like Chinese New Year.
The older generation spent the whole year alone at home.
Only lively for a few days over the New Year, and after that, the children would leave and the house would become quiet again. Tang Qing heard that next year, Lin Jiaxue’s parents planned to bring her grandparents over to make it easier to take care of them.
Only his own grandparents no longer had the chance to meet again.
Qingyan City Airport.
Just bade farewell to Pu Chaodong and others returning to Shanghai.
Chai Ren and his group were also about to board the plane.
"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the premiere is spotless," Zheng Lin said cheerfully.
"Thanks, I don’t have time over Chinese New Year, so I’ve already sent gifts for the elders of your two families to Beijing. You can pick them up at the Xidan Fruit Wine sales point." Tang Qing could only make phone calls during Chinese New Year, how could he possibly go to Beijing for New Year’s visits.
It’s a hassle and embarrassing.
He had sent some wine and tea, along with some seafood, though for him, the total cost of these items probably didn’t exceed two hundred RMB. Yet, one might not be able to buy them outside even for hundreds of thousands.
As for Bao Kaiyu and Zhai Zhihua,
Tang Qing merely sent them some fruit wine and tea leaves, but he did not specify that they were for their elders, after all, he really didn’t have much interaction with the two.
"Haha, I knew Little Tang was generous. I’ll go get it as soon as I return," Zheng Lin said joyfully.
Seeing how happy Zheng Lin was, Tang Qing couldn’t help but say, "There’s some for you too, don’t hide it away, okay?"
"How dare I," Zheng Lin replied with a bitter smile, knowing if he hid it and got caught, his grandfather would definitely beat him, probably taking even more away. With that in mind, Zheng Lin was already planning how to preserve his own share.
Chai Ren added from the side, "Little Tang, see you next year. Let’s settle down at the beginning of the year and go check out the villa locations in Hai Province together." 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
"Okay, I’ll wait for your news."
"..."
They exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Lin Jiaxue also bade farewell to Zhan Xi and the others.
Watching them walk into the airport,
Tang Qing wrapped his arm around Lin Jiaxue’s waist.
"Let’s go back."
"Mm."
...
In the following days,
Tang Qing became busy again.
Previously, he had been touring around, visiting the company’s management, but now he had to truly handle some matters, like year-end reports, spreadsheets, human resources, strategy—it was all quite chaotic and kept Tang Qing rather busy.
But it was only for a few days a year.
Just persisting through it was enough.
Each day at a company,
he finally managed to handle all affairs.
The rest no longer needed his attention, and he could enjoy a peaceful Chinese New Year.
This year, both families discussed it and decided not to return to the village, but instead bring Lin Jiaxue’s grandparents over, as the village couldn’t accommodate them and the conditions couldn’t compare to here. Secondly, both families’ stores needed to open during the Spring Festival.
Chinese New Year.
It was the peak season for both the jewelry and restaurant businesses.
No one wanted to miss a week’s business.
Although Tang Qing was wealthy, this wasn’t a reason for them to rest at will. Thus, Lin’s father drove back to the village on the third day after the annual meeting, preparing to fetch Lin Jiaxue’s grandparents.
...
On January 25th,
Tang Qing met up with Han Leng and Sun Chao and they enjoyed a meal together.
Han Leng’s sports goods business was doing very well and made quite a bit of money, but he still hadn’t fully paid back the three million he had borrowed from Tang Qing. Tang Qing wasn’t in a hurry for him to repay, telling him to take his time, and if he needed to expand, not to rush with the repayment.
For Han Leng, the discharged Special Forces soldier and his semi-mentor, Tang Qing had great respect.
Fenghua Asset Management Company.
This lending-focused company now had tremendous influence among Qingyan City’s business owners, saving many companies, though not making much money due to the low interest.
But it was very important to Tang Qing.
Because his loan task funds were all handled through this company.
Therefore, making or not making money didn’t matter to him, and he didn’t want to close it down. In fact, he even allocated over eight hundred million RMB last year to assist the development of various small and mid-sized enterprises, achieving notable results.
Almost stringent risk control.
Weeded out those bosses looking to cash out and flee.
The remaining ones were serious business owners, leading to very few bad debts.
Borrowers could generally repay on time, those who couldn’t would mortgage their company or factory, and then the company would be packaged and sold. Tang Qing didn’t operate them himself; these assorted small businesses were too inconsequential to be interesting.
Sun Chao also continued to work in Qingyan City,
serving as the training camp instructor at the Security Company.
Mainly responsible for the skill restoration and regular training of new soldiers, living a 9-to-5 life with considerable treatment, and still able to go home and take care of his mother, it was a perfect job for Sun Chao.
