Super Rich from Winning a Lottery-Chapter 388 - 261: Lingering Satisfaction

To be honest, although Sister-in-law Mao Hong treated Yi Anguo’s family very well and really looked after them a lot,

Sister-in-law Mao Hong was Sister-in-law Mao Hong; before Yi Anguo made it big, those two paternal nieces really didn’t think much of him.

First of all, there was no way they’d call him Uncle Anguo. They followed his parents’ way of calling him Anguo directly, and absolutely would not add the word "Uncle."

But that was actually normal too. Many of Yi Anguo’s paternal nephews and nieces called him that way as well. After all, a lot of them were older than he was, and they’d been used to calling him by his name since they were small.

Yi Anguo could understand that, and he wasn’t about to fuss with them over this kind of thing.

But in fact, this so‑called "habit" was just an excuse; at the root of it, they just looked down on him.

Now that Yi Anguo had struck it rich, become wealthy, influential, and established, those nephews and nieces who had long been used to calling him Anguo without the "Uncle"—once they saw him, they switched straight from calling him Anguo to calling him Uncle Anguo.

Some went further and directly called him "Uncle," as if they felt that "Uncle Anguo" still didn’t fully show their respect for him.

Their purpose in currying favor with this paternal uncle, Yi Anguo, was of course to hope that he would look after them, bring them along to make money and get rich together.

Even if a little bit slipped through the cracks of Yi Anguo’s fingers, it would be enough for them to earn plenty.

"Our Lixin has started running long‑haul freight trucks. You’ve got so many companies under your name, you definitely need long‑distance transport for goods, right? Have your company contract his truck and him as a driver, let him specialize in doing deliveries for your company, and that’s it," said Yi Huilian. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Our company has its own logistics fleet and its own logistics company. We basically don’t need to hire outside trucks for deliveries," said Yi Anguo with a wry smile.

"How about this—you talk to Lixin and let him join our company’s logistics fleet. I’ll make him a team leader. Once he gains more experience, he can be promoted to deputy manager, or even manager."

Yi Huilian thought for a moment, then asked, "If he’s a team leader, how much would he get a month? And what about the truck he has now?"

"I don’t know the exact figure either, but it should be decent," said Yi Anguo helplessly.

"As for his truck, we can appraise it and sell it to the company."

It was fine to give them some appropriate help, but directly handing them cash was definitely out of the question. If he had to give money, it should go to Sister-in-law Mao Hong; there was no reason to give it to the two nieces.

If he gave money to those two, then would he have to give to the other nieces too? What about the nieces on the maternal side? And the other relatives? Should he give to them as well?

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to give, but that there was no basis for giving. Even if he gave them all money, that might not actually bring any benefit, and they might not all remember his kindness.

What’s more, people don’t resent having little; they resent things being uneven. If he didn’t give money to any of them, they wouldn’t have much to say. But if he started handing out money to everyone, they’d start arguing about who got more, who got less, and on what basis it was given.

And if you give money to the nieces, do you then have to give money to their children too?

It would be never‑ending; it was simply impossible to give to everyone.

"Our Lixin wants to set up a logistics company. Can’t you invest some money? You put in more, and he can work for you while running it," said Yi Huilian.

"Yeah! I want to go back to Shenzhen with my husband and open a Hunan restaurant, a bigger one, and turn it into a chain," said Yi Huijun quickly, chiming in.

"Uncle Anguo! You invest a bit for us too!"

"Sure. Although my company doesn’t invest in the food and beverage industry, and it doesn’t invest in logistics either, I can make an exception for you. But you have to first come up with a feasible proposal, a development plan. My company’s professionals will study it and determine whether the project is worth investing in, and whether it has prospects for the future. Only then can I decide whether to invest and how much to invest," said Yi Anguo after thinking for a moment.

He didn’t want to directly turn down the two nieces’ requests in front of Sister-in-law Mao Hong, so he agreed.

Besides, if their ventures really were worth investing in, then putting some money in wouldn’t be a problem.

From what he remembered, both of their husbands were decent people, with at least some capability.

It was just that, before his rebirth, Yi Anguo had rarely come back to his hometown for many years, so he wasn’t very clear about what had happened with those two afterwards.

On account of Sister-in-law Mao Hong, he’d help if he could.

Yi Anguo went back to the villa in his home village to take a look, but he didn’t stay in the village; he went back to stay at the resort hotel. After all, staying at the hotel was more convenient, and it’s not like he was staying long term.

Besides, the resort hotel was his own property too, so of course the service was more attentive and much more convenient.

During this period, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Zhao Liying happened not to be filming at Jian’an Film and Television City, which also spared him quite a bit of trouble.

During this stretch back in his hometown of Jian’an, everyone had a great time. The kids were happy, the women were happy, and even Yi Anguo himself felt quite cheerful.

The Fairy Maiden Peak tourist resort area had a heavy flow of visitors. The summer was rather hot, but the resort at the foot of the mountain was very cool. Everyone could also swim in the artificial lake at the foot of the mountain. The water in the lake was flowing spring water, diverted down from a reservoir up on the mountain. It was crystal clear and very cool. Soaking in the cool spring water in the sweltering summer heat was incredibly comfortable.

People who liked fishing could also fish by the lakeside. Many thatched huts had been built out of straw along the shore. Sitting in a thatched hut fishing was very cool; you couldn’t feel the heat at all.

On top of that, mountain breezes kept blowing by in gusts, and the mountain wind on your body felt very refreshing. It also happened to be the season when honey peaches were ripe, and there were Kyoho grapes as well.

Plus it was right when students were on summer vacation. So the Fairy Maiden Peak Scenic Tourist Resort attracted a huge number of visitors coming to travel and escape the summer heat.

Most of these people were from the urban area of Jian’an City, and many others were from the provincial capital’s urban districts.

Although there were quite a few people from nearby towns and townships as well, they basically wouldn’t stay overnight at the resort. They went home in the evening.

In the evenings, the resort would also hold song‑and‑dance parties, and sometimes barbecue parties too, giving everyone someplace to relax and have fun at night, so they wouldn’t be stuck just resting and sleeping in their hotel rooms once it got dark.

Plus, the nearby Jian’an Film and Television City was there. Some actors and stars from Jian’an Film and Television City would often come to the Fairy Maiden Peak resort to have fun.

Some cast members were actually staying at the resort hotel in the scenic area to begin with. This also attracted quite a number of fans of those actors and stars, as well as a lot of media reporters.

And since Fairy Maiden Peak Scenic Area was newly developed, combined with heavy advertising on the provincial satellite TV station and also online promotion, plenty of people knew about it, and quite a lot of tourists came—not only from Xijiang Province, but from all over the country.

Still, even though it had gained a bit of name recognition, compared to the nationally famous scenic spots, its reputation was still too small.

So while there were many visitors, it didn’t feel overcrowded. At least it was within the scenic area’s reception capacity.

Happy times always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, everyone had actually stayed back in Jian’an’s hometown for almost half a month.

In the end, they left Jian’an reluctantly and returned to Shenzhen.
