Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When they arrived, Jiang Sheng’s second uncle led his wife and Jiang Shi out of the car. His wife and his daughter were both shocked when they saw the house. The house was not something they could afford.

The house was minimalistic, but it was beautiful. The lawn was very well-kept. The surroundings were quiet, and the faint fragrance of flowers permeated the fresh air. They could see the sea from the house.

“This house is amazing! I like it a lot!” Jiang Shi, who could not stop smiling since she met Jiang Feng, exclaimed.

“Second Uncle, Second Aunt, tell me if you need anything. There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me. You helped my family when I was young, and it’s only right that I look after you now,” Jiang Feng said as he brought the luggage into the house.

“Alright, alright. Little Feng, you’re too kind. We’re fine. Jiang Shi and I brought everything we needed. Moreover, you seem to have everything here. I don’t even need some of the things I brought anymore,” Jiang Feng’s second aunt said. Then, she thought of something else before she added, “Little Feng, if you’re busy, you can leave first. We’ll handle everything here. I still want to visit your parents later.”

Jiang Feng shook his head. “I’m not busy now. Moreover, I still want to speak to Second Uncle.”

“Let’s speak now,” Jiang Sheng’s second uncle said, feeling worried.

Jiang Sheng’s second aunt brought out the tea and snacks before she asked, “Little Feng, are you hungry? I have some snacks here.”

“Second Aunt, it’s fine. I’m not hungry. You can go and do what you need to do.”

“Alright, then both of you should speak,” Jiang Sheng’s second aunt said before returning to her bedroom.

Jiang Sheng’s second uncle looked at Jiang Feng solemnly and said, “Little Feng, go ahead.”

“Second Uncle, do you still have connections in the real estate industry? I want to invest in real estate,” Jiang Feng said with a serious expression on his face.

Jiang Sheng’s second uncle was stunned. He did not expect this. He wondered if he had heard wrong so he asked again, “Little Feng, what did you say?”

“I want to invest in real estate,” Jiang Feng said again patiently.

“There are many dirty tricks in this industry. You might lose money. Little Feng, have you thought about this?” Jiang Feng’s second uncle asked, still shocked.He did not understand why Jiang Feng suddenly wanted to enter the real estate industry. It was not an easy industry to enter. He felt that Jiang Feng was still inexperienced and that Jiang Feng might suffer a loss.

After a moment, Jiang Sheng’s second uncle said, “Put everything else aside, just the government policies alone are very strict. A few years ago, a restriction was imposed on the purchases of land and houses. Then, there were also forced demolitions and so on. All of these have caused the industry to suffer. The overall economy is also going down, and it’s the same for the industry. At the same time, the price of real estate continues to rise. Many people can’t afford to buy houses, and they’re hoping for the price to fall. All in all, it’s not as easy to earn money.”

Jiang Sheng’s second uncle continued to say, “Moreover, banks are also very strict with their loans. Not to mention the increase in interest rates and the lengthening of the loan direction, the qualifications to have your loan approved are very strict as well. Even if the loan is approved, it’d take a while for it to be processed. By the time you’re done with everything, you’ll already be exhausted. How are you going to invest?”

Jiang Feng had already thought about everything. He only said, “Second Uncle, I’ll help you rebuild your company. You should resign from your current job. Think about it. My plan can’t be explained in just a few words…”

Jiang Feng’s second uncle was stunned. He could not help but feel skeptical when he heard his nephew say that he was going to help him to rebuild his company. He had once thought about rebuilding his company as well, but he was only rewarded with disappointment.

“Trust me, Second Uncle. If we work together, we’ll definitely be able to do it. I have several hundred million in funds now. I plan to buy a piece of land first, and slowly buy more in the future…”

Jiang Sheng’s second uncle shook his head. “Little Feng, you’re unfamiliar with the industry so you don’t know the dark side of it and you don’t know how scary it is. You have no idea what I’ve seen in the course of my career.” A hint of desolation could be seen in his eyes as he continued to say, “There was once when I went to discuss cooperation with a company. The owner was very driven and was about the same age as you. Anyway, due to some circumstances, we didn’t end up cooperating in the end. Nonetheless, we were on quite good terms. After a few years, I thought about him and wanted to invite him out for a meal. However, I found out that his company went bankrupt, and later on, I saw on the news that he was driven to commit suicide…”

“Second Uncle, we are not the same people. I’ve thought about this, and I’ve made plans as well. I even prepared for the worst. Even if I fail, what matters is that I tried. I’ll be satisfied with that, and I won’t let my failure drag me down,” Jiang Feng said, trying to persuade his second uncle.

Jiang Feng’s second uncle still could not make up his mind. He truly felt that there was no hope and that it was just a foolish endeavor. After a moment, he said, “Little Feng, I think things are good now. I don’t want to drag you down with me. Since I lost my company, it means that my time in the industry had come to an end. Moreover, it also means that I don’t have sufficient ability.”

“Second Uncle, are you really satisfied? You’ve worked hard most of your life to build your company. Are you willing to give up just like that? You can’t display your ability and potential now in your current job? You could’ve been a powerhouse in the industry,” Jiang Feng said, feeling slightly anxious. He was trying to goad his second uncle since it was useless trying to persuade him with a soft approach.

Jiang Sheng’s second uncle felt very conflicted. When he lost his company, he was in despair. He was old, and his body no longer allowed him to continue like he was young. As such, he could only give up. However, Jiang Feng was young and had an enterprising spirit. Even if Jiang Feng failed, it was fine since he had years ahead of him to try again. It was clear to him that Jiang Feng had already made up his mind. He could not quash Jiang Feng’s spirit, and it was true that the young should gain experience. Perhaps, the only thing he could do is to help Jiang Feng as much as he could.

Jiang Feng said again, “Second Uncle, I’ve thought about everything. The only thing I need now is your help.”

Finally, Jiang Sheng’s second uncle mustered up his courage and agreed. “Alright, let’s rebuild the company!”
