Chapter 1745: Chapter 647: She Actually Agreed to Let Him... (Super Chapter)

"Group company?"

Although Lin Guowei works in car repair, he’s heard this term before, and immediately asks, "How big is your group company? What branches does it have?"

Zhang Jingdong patiently replies, "My group company was founded not long ago, so it’s not very big yet. It has a clothing branch, a real estate branch, an entertainment branch, a cellphone branch, and I’ve also bought some shares of Alibaba Company."

His elder cousin Wang Liang can’t help but exclaim, "Alibaba Company? Are you talking about Ma Yun’s Alibaba?"

"That’s right."

Lin Huiru then asks, "Son, do you know this company?"

"Of course, Taobao Website belongs to their company."

Lin Shengguo then says, "Jingdong, your company has so many divisions. You set all this up in just one year? That’s unbelievable!"

Zhang Jingdong knows he’s questioning the truth of the matter, because all his companies are in Jiangdu, and even if he were bragging, they wouldn’t be able to verify anything.

So he smiles and says, "The main thing is that our company’s cash flow is quite abundant at the moment, and this money can’t just sit on the account, can it? After all, only using money to make more money allows us to keep earning, so we set up these branches."

"Besides these branches in the provincial capital, I’ve been preparing two projects in our county these past few days. Do you know Wu Jianguo? One of my projects is invested in him and he’s helping to manage it."

Zhao Liang perks up at the mention of Wu Jianguo’s name, "Are you talking about Wu Jianguo, the owner of our market?"

"That’s right, he does have a market." Saying this, Zhang Jingdong pretends to suddenly realize, "Oh right, Fourth Uncle, your vegetable shop is at his market, isn’t it?"

Zhao Liang nods, "That’s right."

Taking the chance, Zhang Jingdong says, "It seems I found the right person. Now, Fourth Uncle, if you have anything you need, just go to him and say I sent you; he’ll definitely take care of it!"

Zhao Liang has been worried about the location of their shop lately.

Because of its great location, his vegetable shop has always been envied by others, and every year they pay Wu Jianguo a good amount of benefits to secure the spot.

But recently, it’s been said that a relative of Wu Jianguo wants to do business in the market and has their eyes on his vegetable shop.

Previously, Zhao Liang called Wu Jianguo several times, but Wu Jianguo either responded ambiguously or simply didn’t take the calls, causing Zhao Liang much distress.

Now hearing Zhang Jingdong’s words, he both treats it as a last resort and wants to seize the chance to verify if Zhang Jingdong’s earlier claims are genuine.

So he says, "Jingdong, since you say so, indeed there’s something. Here’s the situation..."

He explains the situation to Zhang Jingdong in detail.

After listening, Zhang Jingdong casually says, "You should have mentioned this earlier—let me call him right now..."

With that, he takes out his cellphone and dials Wu Jianguo.

The call connects after just one ring, and Zhang Jingdong quickly speaks to prevent being called "Uncle," "President Wu, what are you up to now?"

Wu Jianguo instantly understands he shouldn’t call him Uncle, so he replies, "I’ve just finished the planning document for our mall and was wondering when to show it to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liang and the others are completely convinced about Zhang Jingdong’s previous claims and realize their nephew truly has made it big.

Zhang Jingdong says, "Let’s not talk about that now. Tell me, is there a shop owner named Zhao Liang at your market?"

"...Yes, what’s up? Do you know him?"

"He’s my Fourth Uncle."

Suddenly Wu Jianguo’s voice sounds a bit flustered, "Oh, you should have mentioned this earlier. Yes, I understand what you want to discuss. It’s entirely my fault, rest assured, I’ll arrange it right away."

"In the future, that location will always be your Fourth Uncle’s, and I’ll waive all market fees for him too."

"Additionally, any other requests your Fourth Uncle has, just let me know—I’ll meet them all!"

Zhang Jingdong: "Okay, since your attitude’s pretty decent, we’ll settle it like this, and then hand the plan to President Wang."

"Sure, sure..."

Zhang Jingdong chats with him a bit more before ending the call.

By now, Zhao Liang and the others have a remarkable look in their eyes when staring at him.

There’s shock, admiration, and pride...

After all, in Zhao Liang and their eyes, Wu Jianguo is a very influential figure in their county, yet Zhang Jingdong just admonished him on the call like he was a younger generation, and Wu Jianguo wasn’t the least bit angry. Instead, he seemed anxious, afraid of upsetting Zhang Jingdong.

This single point made them wholly believe their eldest nephew truly became a major boss!

Zhao Liang then exclaims, "Jingdong, you’ve really made it; look at how Wu Jianguo speaks so respectfully to you. You’ve become incredible!"

Afterward, Lin Huiru and the others also shower Zhang Jingdong with praise, complimenting Lin Huiqin and Zhang Huaimin as well.

As a result, during the meal, their family understandably sat in the most central position.

By nearly 9 p.m., the gathering finally concluded.

On the way back, Zhang Huaimin sincerely says, "Son, thank you. If it weren’t for you, your mom and I might never have enjoyed today’s moments."

Zhang Jingdong turns to glimpse at his father, then says, "Dad, you’re wrong about that. If it weren’t for you and my mom, I wouldn’t exist."

"Without the upbringing I had, I wouldn’t be who I am today."

"So ultimately, it’s the flowers you and mom planted now bearing fruit."

Lin Huiqin smiles contentedly, "My son truly knows how to speak."
