"I have to go; otherwise, people will say we're being pretentious," she said.
I put on the suit I had worn for five years and noticed in the mirror that the cuffs were frayed.
When we arrived at my uncle's house, several cars were already parked in the yard. Zhi Qiang's Mercedes was the most eye-catching, next to a brand new BMW X5.
"Is that Zhi Qiang's new purchase?" I asked Li Xuemei.
"I heard it's for his wife," Li Xuemei replied, her tone laced with envy.
In the living room, Zhi Qiang was sitting in the center of the sofa, surrounded by a circle of relatives. He wore a tailored suit and had a gold watch on his wrist, gesturing dramatically as he spoke.
"The real estate market is still good, especially in our small city, which is just starting to develop," Zhi Qiang said, holding a teacup and speaking confidently. "I'm planning to acquire a few more plots of land to develop residential complexes."
"Zhi Qiang, how much do you need to invest for that?" Uncle San asked.
"Not much; for the first phase, let's say around fifty million," Zhi Qiang said casually.
Fifty million! I listened from the corner, feeling a storm brewing inside me.
"Zhi Qiang, do you think we could invest some money alongside you?" Second Aunt said, rubbing her hands together. "We have some savings and want to find a reliable investment."
"Of course! But the entry threshold is a bit high; you need at least five hundred thousand to start," Zhi Qiang replied with a smile.
"Five hundred thousand..." The relatives exchanged glances, their eyes filled with longing.
I sat in the corner, initially ignored by everyone. Suddenly, Zhi Qiang turned towards me. "By the way, my brother is starting a business too!"
"Zhi Yuan is starting a business? What kind?" Everyone immediately looked at me.
"My brother is self-employed now; he delivers takeout!" Zhi Qiang said with a laugh. "It's a promising industry!"
The room fell silent instantly.
"Deliver... takeout?" Second Aunt said, somewhat incredulous.
"Yes! With the rise of Internet +, the takeout industry has great prospects!" Zhi Qiang continued. "My brother has vision!"
"As long as you work pragmatically, even delivering takeout can earn big money!"
