Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1165: No Fools in the Great Family

A meal was enjoyed by both hosts and guests. Cheng Su and the others had taken a long-distance train, so they were tired and naturally needed to rest. Cheng Yaozu prepared to take them to the hotel to settle in.

Old Master Cheng said, ”We actually have space at home, why stay in a hotel?”

Cheng Su said, ”Old Master, we also need to visit distribution stores for business, so coming and going from a hotel is more convenient. Don’t worry, we’ll be back to have tea and chat with you.”

”That’s settled then, come back for a couple of chess games. Girl, your chess skills are terrible, let the old man teach you!” Old Master Cheng said.

Cheng Su immediately showed a distressed face. She did know how to play chess, having picked up a bit from the hotel chairman in her former life at the hotel.

Actually, the old master’s chess skills weren’t great either. He often regretted his moves, and no one in the Cheng family wanted to play with him. Last time, Cheng Su fell for it once. He had a childlike nature and thought his chess skills were excellent.

After bidding farewell to the family, Cheng Su and the others arrived at the hotel, where Cheng Yaozong picked up two keys from the front desk and led them upstairs, clearly familiar with the place.

Cheng Su asked and then found out that the hotel also had shares belonging to the Cheng family.

”The family mainly focuses on shopping malls, running chains. There are three in Guangcheng and some in Shanghai,” Cheng Yaozu replied. ”There are also some investments, and now Second Brother is planning to venture into real estate.”

Real estate, Cheng Su’s eyes lit up, and she felt her blood boiling all over.

Cheng Yaozu found it a bit inexplicable. He didn’t miss the excitement in her eyes. Did this girl have insights into real estate?

”Is the Lai Lai Shopping Mall in Beijing also owned by your family?” Ning Ge asked.

Cheng Yaozu nodded and said, ”It just opened early this year, and the business hasn’t fully stabilized yet. So...” He smiled at Ning Ge, ”Brother, do you have any connections or advice?”

Ning Ge thought for a moment and said, ”I have a childhood friend who opened a department store; I’ll introduce you later!”

”Great!”

See, that’s how connections work. Actually, it’s not that the Cheng family doesn’t know how to run a business; it’s just that they’re not local there. Getting to know more people can’t go wrong.

After walking for a while, Ning Ge suddenly asked, ”By the way, is the Cheng family considered the local boss here? Have you heard of Shenglong Transportation?”

”Shenglong, yes, I’ve heard a bit about it. But it’s not very noticeable, right? Their boss seems to have some connections with the underworld. He once wanted to collaborate with us, but the old master said no black involvement, so there was no contact. Why do you ask?”

Ning Ge rubbed his chin and said, ”I noticed they’ve been doing quite well in the south recently.”

Shenglong Transportation is owned by the Loo family. In the past, they were more prominent in the north, but he’s found that in recent years, Shenglong has focused significantly on their southern business.

Guangcheng is by the sea on the west side. If we talk about transportation development, nothing beats the ports. If Shenglong’s business takes off, could it be related to these factors? This time in Guangcheng, he actually wanted to investigate Shenglong’s operations in the south here.

He always felt that there was something unclear and mysterious about the Loo family’s transportation business.

”If you want to make it hard for Shenglong to operate here, even if your family doesn’t get involved with the underworld, you should have some way, right?” Ning Ge asked tentatively.

Cheng Yaozu raised an eyebrow at him and said, ”We do whatever the old master decides.”

Meaning, everything depended on the head elder of the family.

Ning Ge didn’t say anything more. The Cheng family wasn’t just any small household. It was precisely because of this that they were more cautious.

It seems that in this big family, no one is foolish, including himself and the jovial Cheng Yaozu.
