Chapter 261 Returning to the Capital
During their brief stay in Shenzhen, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi experienced many interesting and meaningful things together.
A few days later, they once again participated in a grand land auction.
Inside that spacious and brightly lit conference hall, developers from all over the world gathered to engage in round after round of fierce bidding.
The bidding process for each piece of land was like a thrilling war, with prices constantly rising and the atmosphere so tense it was suffocating.
However, it is precisely this competitive atmosphere that makes each successful auction of land a milestone in the city's development, witnessing the city striding towards higher and farther goals.
Meanwhile, the city's skyline is changing at an astonishing pace over time.
Those towering skyscrapers sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
They are scattered in various corners of the city, forming a beautiful picture of modern urban life, fully demonstrating the boundless prosperity and vitality of Shenzhen.
This charming and opportunity-filled city is full of new stories unfolding every day, radiating youthful vitality.
After staying there for several days, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi packed their bags and embarked on their journey to Huacheng without stopping.
The scenery along the way was picturesque and breathtaking.
As they drove slowly into Huacheng and onto the wide, flat streets, their eyes were inadvertently drawn to several eye-catching signs along the roadside—the words "Zhaoshi Real Estate Development Co., Ltd." were prominently displayed. These signs stood tall on the bustling construction sites, silently proclaiming to people that the Zhaoshi Group had firmly established itself in Huacheng and was gradually growing stronger.
Upon arriving in Huacheng, Zhao Yuan first led Zhao Zhaodi to the headquarters of the Zhao Group located there.
Upon entering the gate, a magnificent office building immediately comes into view, with exquisite and elegant interior decoration, and employees working busily and orderly.
The two carefully inspected each department, learned about the company's operations, and offered valuable suggestions for future development plans.
Subsequently, they tirelessly visited several stores of "Zhaoshi Kitchen Huacheng Branch".
Each branch maintains a consistent style and high-quality service standards, yet each has its own unique characteristics, attracting a constant stream of customers.
Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi carefully inspected the quality of the dishes, the hygiene of the environment, and the service attitude of the staff to ensure that the brand image remains consistent.
Finally, they also made a special trip to several construction sites to inspect them.
The construction site was bustling with activity as machines roared and workers toiled away, their sweat pouring down their faces.
Zhao Yuan inquired in detail about the project's progress, the implementation of safety measures, and other related issues, and instructed the person in charge to ensure the project's quality and timely delivery.
Zhao Zhaodi followed closely behind Zhao Yuan, walking carefully across the dusty construction site.
She stared intently, carefully examining the progress and quality of each project.
The workers were busy at work, their clothes soaked with sweat, but their tools never stopped.
Witnessing this scene, Zhao Zhaodi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration.
These hardworking and honest workers have created one amazing architectural miracle after another with their own hands.
When the two finally finished their inspection of the construction site, Zhao Yuan led Zhao Zhaodi out of the bustling and noisy place and into an old neighborhood that was slightly outdated but full of life.
The air here is thick with the aroma of cooking, and the streets are lined with numerous snack shops, each with its own unique character.
An enticing aroma wafted over, causing Zhao Zhaodi to swallow hard.
Zhao Yuan smiled and introduced to Zhao Zhaodi:
“Zhao Di, don’t be fooled by how inconspicuous this place may seem. It actually hides a huge business opportunity! If our Zhao’s Kitchen could open a branch here, combining traditional cuisine with modern business models, we’d definitely be able to create our own unique food culture. You’re young, you have your own perspective. You need to step outside your original perspective and build upon my foundation.”
As Zhao Zhaodi listened to Zhao Yuan's words, she nodded frequently in agreement.
After a brief stay in Huacheng, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi embarked on their journey home in just one day.
They rushed back to Huzhou without stopping, and after a short rest, they continued on to Jinyang County.
Along the way, the two conducted a pre-holiday inspection of their family's businesses, experiencing the fatigue and exhaustion of the journey.
Finally, after a long journey, they passed through the bustling city of Shanghai and set off for the capital once again.
As night fell and the city lights began to twinkle, Zhao Zhaodi and Zhao Yuan finally returned to the capital. The clock had already struck 7:00 PM.
Dragging her slightly weary body, Zhao Zhaodi stepped into the house and saw her mother, Lin Fangfang, come to greet her.
Before she could even put down her luggage, Lin Fangfang eagerly told Zhao Di:
"My dear daughter, many of your classmates have come to visit you these past few days!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
After a quick wash, the family sat around the dining table to enjoy dinner.
During the meal, Zhao Zhaodi enjoyed the delicious food while listening to her father recount various interesting stories that had happened during their recent trip.
After dinner, Zhao Zhaodi rested for a while and then remembered that she needed to call her good friend Yan Meili.
She dialed Yan Meili's home phone number, and soon, a familiar and friendly voice came from the other end of the line.
"Hey, Zhao Di, you're back from your hometown?"
Yan Meili's tone revealed her excitement.
"Yeah, I just got back."
Zhao Zhaodi responded with a smile.
"Oh, you're finally back! We've all been waiting for you like the stars and the moon have been watching. I'll call Jingjing and the others right away, we definitely have to get together before the New Year!"
Yan Meili said happily.
“Great! That’s wonderful!” Zhao Zhaodi replied happily.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhaodi began to look forward to the upcoming reunion, imagining the joyful scene of gathering with her long-lost classmates.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves and spilled into the courtyard. Zhao Zhaodi had just finished breakfast and was quickly clearing the table of dishes.
Dad and Grandpa drove to work this morning, leaving the gate to the yard open.
Not long after, a clear bicycle bell rang out from afar.
In the blink of an eye, three bicycles drove into the yard. After the bicycles came to a stop, the three young men got off one after another.
