Chapter 333: Birthday Eve (1)
A child’s 10th birthday is a very important birthday in their life.
Of course, Chen Meng’er did not have this idea. However, whether she thought it was important or not, it was useless. As long as her family thought it was important, it was important.
Chen Meng’er was now 10 years old, she was already in junior high school.

Chen Meng’er looked at the people sitting in the living room, who looked like they were having a discussion, and felt a little helpless. She couldn’t figure it out. Was it necessary to make it so grand for her 10th birthday? Moreover, this birthday of hers wasn’t the actual date of her birth. Instead, it was the date when she was picked up by the two of them.
Therefore, this birthday was really not important to Chen Meng’er at all. However, Chen Meng’er didn’t dare to say these words. If she dared to say these words, her mother, Liu Juan, would definitely cry.
“Grandpa, Mom, Dad, and uncles, it’s just a birthday. There’s no need to make such a big fuss, right?” Chen Meng’er looked at the excited crowd and said with a headache.
“What do you mean it’s just a birthday? This is your tenth birthday. You only have one tenth birthday in your life.” Liu Juan was the first to disagree. In the past five years, Liu Juan had changed a lot. Five years ago, Liu Juan was still a peasant woman who was working in the fields with a hoe on her shoulder.
But now, Liu Juan was wearing a tailored business suit and her hair was neatly tied up. She looked like a professional woman. However, the way she looked at Chen Meng’er was still the same doting gaze she had five years ago.
Liu Juan was now an owner of a clothing factory. Back then, Chen Meng’er brought a small portion of the money she earned from the Japanese stock market back to China and started helping her parents start their own business. She had her mother, Liu Juan, learn how to make clothes with the expert clothes maker that her grandfather, Elder Liu, had hired from abroad.
Liu Juan was originally very skillful. After half a year, she was able to finish her apprenticeship. Although her clothes making skills could not be compared to that expert clothes maker, the clothes she made in the entire S province… could be considered among the top few.
After her mother, Liu Juan, learned how to make clothes, Chen Meng’er encouraged her mother to open a clothes-making shop, which was also a tailor shop. Under Chen Meng’er’s encouragement, her mother, Liu Juan, finally nodded and gave it a try.
And this one try was amazing. In just five years’ time. Liu Juan’s small clothing-making shop became a famous clothing factory in s province.
Of course, Chen Meng’er had played a big part in this. The design drawings that Chen Meng’er provided from time to time not only made Liu Juan’s clothing shop and later the clothing factory become the best in the industry, but also made the clothing expert that Elder Liu had spent a lot of money to hire, willingly become the technical director of Liu Juan’s clothing factory.
“Meng’er, your mother is right. We can’t be careless on this tenth birthday.” Chen Ping, who was wearing a decent suit, no longer looked like the person who wore a patched suit and worked in the fields five years ago. Under Chen Meng’er’s instigation, Chen Ping led the group of people from the Chen family village to help build houses. From the beginning, it was just a small matter. He helped the people in the neighboring village build tile-roofed houses and then built buildings. Under Elder Liu’s instructions, Zhuge Yu secretly helped Chen Ping a few times. He allowed him to develop from a small contractor into a small-scale construction company. There were several projects in the city; the government gave Chen Ping a pass on account of Elder Liu. Chen Ping had just become the boss of a small construction company step by step from a small contractor.
Chen Meng’er knew what Elder Liu was secretly doing. And Chen Meng’er knew the unspoken rule that existed in this society. Only with money and power could one travel around the world. So, while Chen Meng’er thanked her grandfather for his efforts, she also did her best to repay him.
