Cheng Su couldn’t understand what Ning Ge ant, but as soon as Ning Ge spoke, the way Cheng Yaoguang and the others looked at Cheng Su changed slightly.
In the interaction between people, no matter how pure, there will always be so interests involved, and the establishnt of connections usually requires soone to link people, and a bridge needs to be built.
At the mont, if the Cheng family wants to establish this connection with the Ning family, Cheng Su, who knows both families, is the bridge to connect them.
Old Master Cheng reminisced about the days of fighting the invaders, feeling sentintal, and looked at Ning Ge, "Is your grandfather still in good health?"
"Everyone is doing well," Ning Ge replied with a smile.
"Since we fought the invaders together, dad, why don’t you call the old chief to say hello?" Cheng Yaoguang said with a smile.
Old Master Cheng then looked at Ning Ge, "Is it convenient?"
Ning Ge nodded. There was a phone in the room, and he dialed a long-distance number, bringing a hush over the room.
When the call connected, Ning Ge spoke a few words, then handed the phone to Old Master Cheng with both hands.
Old Master Cheng took it, cleared his throat gently, then smiled into the receiver, "Old Chief, it’s ..."
The call lasted about half an hour. Old Master Cheng introduced himself, praised Ning Ge repeatedly, and reminisced about the past. At the most emotional points, tears welled up in his eyes.
Cheng Su glanced at Ning Ge, wondering what the aning of all this was.
After hanging up, Old Master Cheng was still emotional, noticing everyone was silent, he said, "Look at , I’m really getting old, can’t even speak about the past without getting choked up."
"Old Master, it’s a happy occasion, look at what you’re saying," everyone comforted him.
"Yes, today is indeed a happy day." Old Master Cheng held Ning Ge’s hand and said, "Ning Boy, in the future, bring your grandfather to Guangcheng to visit more often, let’s get together. Your grandfather is right, we, the Old Red Army soldiers, are getting fewer and fewer!"
"Sure."
"Dad, we can also go to Beijing for a visit," Cheng Yaoguang said with a smile.
"Yes, yes."
Ning Ge said, "When you co to Beijing, we’ll host a welco reception for you!"
"Good, that sounds great!" Old Master Cheng was very pleased and said, "Everyone must be hungry, co on, let’s eat and chat while we dine."
Everyone stood up and took their seats.
Cheng Su was still arranged to sit next to the old master, with Ning Ge right next to her, while Ying Xiaoya was seated beside Cheng Yaozu, with whom she was chatting happily earlier.
Cheng Su noticed this and slightly curled her lips into a smile.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Cheng Yaoguang asked Cheng Su again about their land purchase plans, what were they planning to do?
"We don’t have any big plans. We just see the future developnt of Guangcheng. The Guangcheng of the future is bound to be more prosperous than it is now, so we have the thought of buying two plots of land to hold on to. It’s just that we don’t know what we can buy with such little money," Cheng Su said.
"For what purpose?"
"The purpose isn’t clear yet, as funds are limited. I’m managing a restaurant, and if it grows, I might open a hotel here soday," Cheng Su continued, "But the premise is to have our own land. If that doesn’t work out, we can hold on to it for a few years. After all, the land is there, it won’t disappear. In a few years, the land price might just double."
As he listened, a bright gleam flashed briefly in Cheng Yaoguang’s eyes. He picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"You sound pretty confident that our Guangcheng will definitely develop," Cheng Yaozong said with a smile, "Do you know where you want to buy yet?"
