Chapter 147 Senior Brother's Support

The next morning, he handed a thick stack of plans to Hu Kang.

"Senior brother, everything is here. Take a look, and if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

Jiang Yang solemnly instructed, "However, you must keep this a secret as much as possible and conduct it privately. The fewer people who know about it, the better, to avoid unnecessary trouble, or... malicious competition."

Hu Kang was a smart man, so he naturally understood what he meant.

He nodded and solemnly assured them, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I definitely won't let too many people know about this."

Jiang Yang added, "You also need to be mentally prepared. Once the research institute is established, you will most likely become the person in charge of this area, or even... the leader!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Kang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

He grabbed Jiang Yang's hand, his voice trembling slightly: "Jiang Yang, don't worry! As long as your research institute can really open, I will do everything I can to help you!"

Jiang Yang patted him on the shoulder, his tone more relaxed: "It's alright, senior brother. When brothers team up, their strength can break metal!"

The two chatted for a few more minutes about the details of the research institute before Jiang Yang came out of the laboratory.

He ran into Zhou Limin as soon as he stepped outside.

Zhou Limin also saw him and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Jiang Yang, did you come to the lab to see Senior Brother Hu for something?"

Jiang Yang smiled and said frankly, "Senior Sister, I discussed something with Senior Brother."

Then, he told Zhou Limin in detail about his desire to start a research institute and his invitation to Hu Kang to join.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Limin's beautiful eyes widened and her mouth slightly agape, clearly astonished by his grand vision.

She never imagined that Jiang Yang harbored such grand ambitions!

It took her a while to come to her senses, and she teased, "Jiang Yang, is there... is there no field in this world that you don't want to get involved in?"

Jiang Yang's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Senior sister, the country has just begun its reform and opening up, and everything is in need of rebuilding. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If we don't seize it, wouldn't that be a terrible waste?"

Zhou Limin nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing.

She looked at Jiang Yang, her eyes filled with admiration: "Jiang Yang, I fully support your ideas! I think young people should dare to dream and act! If you don't even dare to dream, how can you possibly achieve anything?"

Jiang Yang felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard her encouragement.

He said sincerely, "Thank you, senior sister! With your support, I have even more confidence!"

"By the way, senior sister, I'm so grateful to you for helping me out at the banquet last time. I've been wanting to find a chance to thank you properly. How about... I treat you to dinner tonight?"

Zhou Limin smiled and gently shook her head: "No need for thanks. We're all fellow students, helping each other is only right. However..."

She changed the subject, her tone becoming lighter: "...As for eating, that's fine."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Jiang Yang was overjoyed.

"You decide on the location! Senior sister, whatever you want to eat, we'll eat it!"

Zhou Limin tilted her head and thought for a moment.

“I know a state-run restaurant called Yuebinlou, which serves pretty good food. My parents used to take me there often.”

“Alright! Let’s go with Yuebinlou!” Jiang Yang immediately made the decision.

"Shall we meet at the school gate after school?" Zhou Limin asked.

“Okay, it’s a deal!” Jiang Yang readily agreed.

The two exchanged a few more words, and then Zhou Limin turned and left.

Jiang Yang watched her walk away, then took out his phone and dialed Da Zhuang's number.

"Hey, Dazhuang, where are you right now?"

"Brother Yang, I just parked my car near the company!" came Da Zhuang's deep, muffled voice from the other end of the phone.

"Drive over here now and pick me up at the school gate," Jiang Yang instructed.

"Okay, Yang-ge, I'm coming right now!" Dazhuang replied.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yang stood still, waiting quietly.

Before long, a brand-new Citroën sedan came into Jiang Yang's view.

The car window rolled down, revealing Dazhuang's honest and simple face.

"Brother Yang, get in the car!"

Jiang Yang opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

"Dazhuang, is this car easy to drive?" Jiang Yang asked casually.

"So easy! So easy!" Da Zhuang grinned from ear to ear.

As he skillfully steered the car, he said, "Brother Yang, this car is really comfortable to drive, much better than those old junk cars I used to drive!"

"Thank you so much! If you hadn't found me such a great job, I probably would never have had the chance to drive such a nice car in my entire life!"

"Dazhuang, why are you being so polite with me?" Jiang Yang patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Work hard! If you work hard, even better opportunities will be waiting for you in the future!"

"Brother Yang, don't worry! I promise I'll do a good job and definitely won't let you down!"

Upon hearing this, Dazhuang immediately perked up and straightened his back a bit.

He paused, then asked, "Brother Yang, where are we going now?"

Jiang Yang shook his head: "I haven't decided yet. Just keep driving along this main road for now."

Although Dazhuang was full of doubts, he didn't ask any more questions.

He lightly pressed the accelerator, and the brand-new Citroën slowly moved forward along the wide road.

Jiang Yang leaned back slightly against the soft seat, but his gaze never left the car window.

The streets of the capital are lined with shops and bustling with pedestrians.

With the shift in national policy and the sounding of the reform and opening-up policy, all sectors of society are springing up like mushrooms after rain, eager to emerge.

As a first-tier city, Beijing naturally has a much more acute sense of smell than other places.

The whole city was in a state of vibrant energy.

Opportunities abound, and gold is everywhere.

It would be really foolish not to pick it up.

While driving, Dazhuang secretly observed Jiang Yang.

He noticed that Jiang Yang's gaze was constantly wandering around, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yang, what... what are you looking at?"

Jiang Yang turned his head and smiled slightly: "Dazhuang, if you had a business opportunity to invest in, and you only had one chance, what would you choose to do?"

Da Zhuang was stunned for a moment, not expecting Jiang Yang to ask him such a question.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly as he began to think seriously.

After a long while, he scratched his head and said somewhat uncertainly, "If it were me... I might... open a restaurant?"

Jiang Yang looked at Da Zhuang with great interest and asked, "Why did you make this choice? Tell me your reasons."

Da Zhuang felt a little embarrassed after Jiang Yang asked him that question.

He scratched his head and gave a simple, honest smile: "Brother Yang, you know I'm just a rough guy, not very educated, and I haven't seen much of the world. I don't understand those high-tech, big-business things. You want me to invest? How am I supposed to know what to invest in to make money?"

"However, as our ancestors said, 'Food is the first necessity of the people.' No matter when, people always need to eat, right? No matter how developed the country or how advanced the technology, the issue of food will always be of paramount importance. So, I thought, opening a restaurant will definitely ensure that I won't go hungry. The catering industry will never go out of style!"
