Chapter 197: 197 Once investment +1

Calling Aunt Xiaoxing to Yan Yueqing?!

Did he mistake her for someone else?

Most of the people present thought so.

Only Lin Qiming and the Old Master Yan, as if sensing something, looked over together.

Yan Yueqing was also surprised, "Do you know me?"

Not calling her Aunt Yueqing, but Aunt Xiaoxing... Could it be that this kid knows about her story when she was Jiang Xiaoxing?

Chu Fengteng was polite, "Seven years ago, my father was kidnapped while buying medicine in the border area. Thanks to Aunt Xiaoxing’s help, he was able to escape. Later, when she saw my father’s Chinese medicine shop struggling, she generously invested and suggested that we start from the direction of medicinal cuisine, and that’s how the Food Supplement Shop came to be..."

Upon hearing this, Jun Yan looked at her with admiration, "Godmother is amazing! She was investing and doing business seven years ago!"

Tang Tang exclaimed, "Seven years ago? But Uncle Lin said this is a new shop~ It doesn’t look like it’s been open for seven years."

"Because it’s a chain store, like KFC~" Jun Yan explained to his sister, "This store started in the capital, and this one in City C is a branch."

"Ah, I see~" Tang Tang pondered thoughtfully, "Being able to open so many shops, your family must be really impressive!"

Dad taught her from a young age not to aim too high, to follow through with everything she starts and not to hold onto several things at once, or she would end up not doing well in any of them!

Like when he is filming a movie, for instance, there might be tight connections in between, but there would never be a situation where he is shooting two overlapping movies at the same time.

With Director Tang’s teaching, Tang Tang subconsciously believed: being able to open many shops is a clear sign of strength!

Indeed, being able to secure a position in high-end dining in the capital and to choose a new location to open a branch every year, the Food Supplement Shop was certainly excellent.

Chu Fengteng, hearing this, neither showed arrogance nor false modesty, "The Food Supplement Shop’s success today is thanks to the effort of every employee, it’s not just my family’s achievement. Among them, the person we are most grateful to is Aunt Xiaoxing, who extended a helping hand during our most difficult time."

As he spoke, he took out a pocket watch and showed her the photo inside, "This is a photo of Aunt Xiaoxing holding me, taken seven years ago."

Yan Yueqing took a look, and indeed it was her!

Back then, she had just come of age, hadn’t she? Her face was brimming with youth, and she looked very pleasing to the eye.

She was holding the five-year-old Chu Fengteng and smiling broadly!

As the photo surfaced, the memories in her mind began to clear like fog, revealing traces of the past.

She was taken back to the Jiang family at fifteen and after three years of learning, returned to Hua Country with a mission set by her mother.

Jiang Yu said, "If you want to make money, you first have to learn how to spend it. Within a year, whether it’s through investment or entrepreneurship, spend these ten billion first!"

She agreed readily and indeed, according to the agreement, she spent all the money within the allotted time.

But when it was time to go back and present her results, she played truant~~~

She sent a text to her mother: "The world is so big, I want to go out and wander~~~"

Jiang Yu, seeing right through her reluctance to return to the Jiang family, didn’t push further but sent people to look for her!

And so, in this game of hide and seek, she met Su Zihu...

The Chu Feng Teng’s family was the first project she invested in after returning to Hua Country.

"I remember now," Yan Yueqing nodded. "Your family is a lineage of Chinese medicine practitioners. By the time it reached your father’s generation, because many of the Chinese medicine shares were taken by Neon Country, he faced difficulties purchasing the medicines. That’s why he went to the border to source medicines, and ended up getting kidnapped..."

Chu Fengteng brightened up upon realizing that she remembered, "Yes!"

The century-old family of traditional Chinese medicine had been struggling because patients increasingly favored Western medicine, including narrowing channels for medicinal products... Chu Leh had almost reached the point of not being able to sustain it toward the later stages.

He had been torn between preserving his heritage and improving the living standards for his wife and child, unwilling to forget his roots...

Then, Jiang Xiaoxing appeared.

At that time, she wasn’t concerned with anything fancy. The Chu family needed money, so she gave it!

If it hadn’t been for the mission requiring at least investments into five businesses, Jiang Xiaoxing would have given them the entire billion.

If I remember correctly, she invested around fifty million...

In Western medicine, that amount might only suffice for one or two research projects, but in traditional Chinese medicine, it could actually save lives!

She didn’t expect the Chu family to achieve great things in the future. As long as they held true to their principles and passed on the ancestral art, that was already very admirable~

Before leaving, she casually remarked, "Chinese medicine is so bitter. If you could make it taste better, it might become more popular!"

Being a foodie herself, she naturally thought about eating! But she didn’t expect that Chu Leh would take her words to heart and shift from treating patients to food-based supplements.

As food is pivotal to people, this unexpected gamble paid off!

The Food Supplement Shop is now incredibly popular!

Now Chu Leh runs the Food Supplement Shop while teaching Chu Fengteng traditional Chinese medicine.

The Food Supplement Shop is what the Chu family depends on for their livelihood.

Yet, privately... he still hopes his son will continue the tradition of Chinese medicine.

Fortunately, Chu Fengteng has a great talent for it. At just twelve years old, he could already diagnose by taking one’s pulse independently.

For some minor ailments, he could formulate a couple of prescriptions and apply a few acupuncture needles to cure them.

All the familiar uncles and aunties in the capital adore the young miracle worker of the Chu family!

Chu Fengteng, gentle and courteous, said, "Thanks to Aunt Xiaoxing’s guidance, our family went from a small clinic on the brink of death to the now exceedingly popular Food Supplement Shop. My father also remains true to his original aspiration, delving deep into traditional Chinese medicine! Recalling the frustration of gathering herbs back then, he uses most of the profits to acquire some pharmaceutical factories and herbalists, and he spares no effort in assisting the many declining inheritors of traditional Chinese medicine."

Yan Yueqing nodded in admiration, "This is all the result of your hard work!"

Chu Fengteng smiled shyly, "No! My father often teaches me not to forget who lent the Chu family a hand in our most difficult time! Aunt Xiaoxing... His biggest regret is that he lost contact with you afterwards! This is also why the Food Supplement Shop opens a new branch in a bustling city every year."

"What?" Yan Yueqing was confused, "It can’t be that it was all to find me, could it?"

You’re sharp, Aunt Xiaoxing!"" Chu Fengteng did not skimp on his praise for her, "We expanded from the capital to the Magic Capital... Every time we choose a location, we prioritize those more developed cities... My father said, a person like Aunt Xiaoxing must belong to a prominent family hidden in a major city! As long as our Food Supplement Shop grows big and well-known enough, one day you are bound to visit us!"

Tang Tang was very touched upon hearing this, "Brother Fengteng’s family truly knows how to repay kindness."

Chu Fengteng, a gentleman through and through, replied, "It is only right!"

Old Master Yan was somewhat surprised, "So the money you took was really for investing?"

Old Master Yan was aware of the billion in pocket money Jiang Yu had given her, as well as the task she had set for Yueqing to spend it.

A few days ago when he asked her about it, her subconscious reply was that she had invested it, but Old Master Yan didn’t quite believe her.

He hadn’t expected that someone from the investments would show up so soon.
