Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 298: Why Are You Back Again?

Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Why Are You Back Again?
The eldest aunt took Cheng Jinyun to her office.
On the desk of the spacious office, sat a television set, its frame showing slight signs of wear, looking about eighty percent new.
The eldest aunt couldn’t help but chide, "You have the means to buy Xiangxiang a new television. Why insist on making me find a way to get a used one?"
Her nephew didn’t seem like someone unwilling to spend money.
The eldest aunt couldn’t understand.
Cheng Jinyun explained, "I understand Nuzi’s personality. She wouldn’t like it if I gave her an expensive gift for no reason. Moreover, Xingfu Restaurant has only been open for a little over a month. Although it has been quite profitable, to outsiders it doesn’t seem like we’re at the stage where we can easily afford a new TV. If I gave her a new TV, it would only cause her trouble."
The eldest aunt thought it over carefully and realized it made sense.
After all, buying a TV not only costs money, but the most important thing is the ticket.
TV tickets are not easy to come by.
The eldest aunt no longer criticized Cheng Jinyun. When it came to being kind to Lin Xiang, he was already quite mature.
The eldest aunt found a cardboard box and had Cheng Jinyun pack the TV into it, so passersby wouldn’t see what was inside.
"By the way, the day before the National Day holiday ends, invite Xiangxiang over for a meal at home. If possible, it’s best to invite your mother too."
Cheng Jinyun nodded, "I’ll try my best."
Xingfu Restaurant.
The Lin Family, Mrs. Lin was sighing over the table full of change.
"This amount isn’t even half of what we had before. Nuzi, do you think the holiday might have put an end to our little restaurant’s good business?"
"Mom, why do you always scare yourself like this? Didn’t I say that in business, turnover inherently fluctuates, with ups and downs that we must face with a calm mind. If you worry every day about whether business will get better, I’m afraid you’ll develop nodules."
Mrs. Lin didn’t understand what nodules were; she only knew Lin Xiang didn’t want her to be anxious.
But today’s turnover barely exceeded a hundred.
After deducting various costs, net profit wasn’t even fifty yuan.
Except for the first week after opening, when daily net profit was over a hundred, it later stabilized at around eighty yuan.
Today, the net profit was only over thirty yuan.
It’s actually much better than when we just had a stall, but with a good comparison, Mrs. Lin found it hard to accept today’s earnings.
Lin Xiang didn’t persuade her further. After organizing the money, she counted the profits from the past month, planning to find a time to deposit them in the bank after the National Day holiday.
Just as Lin Xiang was about to carry the money box back to her bedroom, she heard a knock on the door.
"Who could be knocking so late?"
Lin Xiang mumbled to herself but still put down the money box and got up to open the door.
When she saw Cheng Jinyun standing at the door with a large cardboard box, Lin Xiang was full of surprise, "Brother?"
"Why are you back again?"
Again?
Cheng Jinyun twitched his mouth, "It seems like you don’t really want me to come back?"
"That’s not it. I’m just surprised you’re on vacation again."
Lin Xiang had already guessed without Cheng Jinyun explaining; he must have been on another mission.
Exchanging bonus for vacation time—there are hardly a few people in the Beijing military unit who do this.
After entering, Cheng Jinyun placed the cardboard box on the table.
From the sound of it, you could tell it was a big item, and Lin Xiang asked curiously, "What did you bring back?"
"You’ll know when you open it."
With curiosity, Lin Xiang opened the box and found a large piece of equipment.
"A TV?"
"Yes. Didn’t I promise you before that I’d get a TV within a month? I brought it back during this vacation."
It’s just that the Lin family doesn’t currently have an antenna, so even with a TV, they can’t watch it.
"Tomorrow, I’ll go buy the necessary accessories and adjust it, so you and Mom can watch TV at home."
Mrs. Lin, who was originally depressed and worried, immediately felt all her troubles vanish when she saw the TV.
She couldn’t stop touching the heavy shell of the TV, "We have a TV now?"
"Yes, we have a TV now."
"Ah Yun, this TV must have cost a lot, didn’t it?"
Cheng Jinyun shook his head, "Originally, I told Nuzi I’d try to bring home a discarded TV from the military. But later I found out that discarded military items have to be destroyed immediately and cannot leave the unit."
So he contacted his eldest aunt to find a way to get a used TV.
For the eldest aunt, giving them a new TV would have been much easier than finding a used one.
But since Cheng Jinyun asked, she had to find a way to get it ready before his vacation.
At night, Lin Xiang lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
In fact, after that day, she had already forgotten about the TV.
It was just a spontaneous thought; she hadn’t planned on making it a reality anytime soon.
But the words she casually uttered were kept in someone’s heart, a feeling both unfamiliar and irresistibly moving.
Lin Xiang had already lost count of how many times she had been moved by Cheng Jinyun’s actions.
She gently patted her cheeks, "He’s your brother, he’s your brother, he’s good to you because you’re his sister! Don’t overthink!"
She still needed to return to her world; how could she easily fall in love?
Falling in love would only slow her down in making money!
Moreover, Lin Yun was the male protagonist in the book, and his ultimate partner would undoubtedly be the female lead.
Even without this thought, she was still Cheng Jinyun’s sister.
Lin Xiang didn’t know when she finally fell asleep, but when she woke up the next morning, Mrs. Lin had already gone out.
Feeling drowsy, she yawned her way downstairs and saw Cheng Jinyun fiddling with the TV at the table.
Upon hearing footsteps on the stairs, Cheng Jinyun looked back at Lin Xiang. His face, initially expressionless, broke into a smile immediately, "Awake? I bought some meat buns while passing by the state-owned restaurant this morning; they’re still warming in the pot. Go freshen up, and I’ll get the buns for you."
Without waiting for Lin Xiang to refuse, Cheng Jinyun had already put down his tools and went to the kitchen to get breakfast for Lin Xiang.
The emotions she had finally suppressed last night surged up again, and Lin Xiang quickly went to the bathroom.
When she finished freshening up and came out, breakfast was already laid out on the table.
Four large meat buns, two boiled eggs, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of millet porridge.
Lin Xiang pushed the bowl towards Cheng Jinyun, "You eat with me too; I can’t finish all this by myself."
The buns from the state-owned restaurant were particularly solid; with her appetite, one was enough to fill her up.
Cheng Jinyun pushed the bowls and plates back, "I’ve already had breakfast with Mom; you go ahead and eat."
"Oh."
