Chapter 12
First Meeting with Sachiko

On Saturday, Moma brought Coco to Shun De.

They didn't have a grand ceremony.

They just invited a few respected elders to perform the ritual.

Kang Er Zheng and Kang Er Li were officially added to the Kang family's genealogy.

"It's been so long since I came back to Yangcheng, it's changed so much," Moma sighed, looking at the surroundings.

After the ancestral recognition, Moma wanted to explore Yangcheng.

Kang Er Zheng took her around.

Moma was shocked by how much Yangcheng had changed.

"Mom, China is developing very fast now, especially Yangcheng, Magic City, and Pengcheng, it's changing by the day," Kang Er Zheng said with a smile.

He knew that after joining the WTO in 2003, development would accelerate even further.

"Yeah, I think it's about to catch up with Hong Kong," Moma said with a smile.

Although Hong Kong is a global metropolis.

It's too restricted, with little room for future development.

It mainly relies on finance and real estate.

Population and land resources are also crucial factors limiting Hong Kong's development.

The population of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen is easily in the millions.

In the future, which of these cities, Pengcheng, Yangcheng, Magic City, Beijing, etc., will have a population of less than ten million?

The economies of these latter cities will surpass Hong Kong.

"Yangcheng has a lot of room for development, although it's far behind Hong Kong now, I think it can surpass Hong Kong in twenty years," Kang Er Zheng said.

"Mom, how about you stay in Yangcheng?" Kang Er Zheng suggested.

"No, it's better to stay in Hong Kong," Moma shook her head.

The gap between Yangcheng and Hong Kong is still significant.

Many people are still trying to sneak into Hong Kong.

"Then Coco, forget it, she's better off studying in Hong Kong," Kang Er Zheng thought for a moment and said.

Hong Kong's educational resources are much better than Yangcheng's current ones.

"Coco will stay home with me, don't take her away," Moma warned.

"Mom, don't worry, Coco will stay home with you, I'm afraid if I bring her over, she'll drive me crazy," Kang Er Zheng was also troubled by his unruly sister.

Although he could control her, if she stayed for too long, she wouldn't be afraid of him.

It's better to keep her in check every now and then.

"How's the renovation of the Kang family's house going?" Moma asked.

"It's in progress, construction started a week ago, they're all staying in different places, they can move back when the renovation is finished," Kang Er Zheng said.

"Right, Mom, I also bought a house next to the West Gate Mansion, you can come here for a vacation when you have time, and interact with your brother and the others," Kang Er Zheng said.

"Okay, I can come here to visit when I have time," Moma nodded.

Although she was born here, she went to Hong Kong to develop in her twenties.

She has lived in Hong Kong for over thirty years, longer than Yangcheng.

She's used to living in Hong Kong and doesn't want to stay in Yangcheng.

She can come back to visit when she misses it.

"Brother, I'm hungry," Coco yelled.

"I know," Kang Er Zheng glared at her.

"Let's go eat some local delicacies, there are so many delicious things in Yangcheng, I've been eating for so long, there are still many delicious things I haven't tried," Kang Er Zheng said as he drove.

For convenience, he bought a low-key luxury car in Yangcheng, it cost 600,000 yuan, people who don't know luxury cars can't tell it's a luxury car.

"What's delicious?" Coco asked curiously.

"What do you want to eat?" Kang Er Zheng asked.

"Anything, as long as it's delicious," Coco said.

"I'm missing you," Kang Er Zheng was exasperated by her.

They went to a five-star hotel.

Coco didn't hold back, ordering whatever she wanted to eat.

Moma spent a few days in Yangcheng.

Kang Er Zheng accompanied them for a few days.

They mainly visited ancient architecture, museums, and scenery.

Hong Kong's amusement park is bigger and more fun.

At this time, Yangcheng's famous amusement park hadn't opened yet.

"Huh? Is that Ayao?" Kang Er Zheng saw someone wearing a shirt, whose back looked like Ayao, as he was driving back to the hotel.

There was a tall, elegantly dressed woman beside him.

"Ayao," Kang Er Zheng called out.

The man turned around when he heard Kang Er Zheng calling Ayao.

Kang Er Zheng took a closer look and it was indeed Ayao.

Wearing glasses and his familiar hairstyle.

"Uncle!" Ayao was also surprised to see Kang Er Zheng.

He was a little flustered.

"Is this your girlfriend?" Kang Er Zheng looked at the woman next to him.

He recognized who she was.

Ayao's first wife, Sachiko.

A beautiful and graceful woman.

However, they later went their separate ways due to work.

But they both deeply loved each other.

Sachiko left Ayao a daughter, Shizuka.

A woman who is a pity.

Compared to Huang Fei, Sachiko might be more suitable for Ayao.

Sachiko is more mature and sensible, she can handle both social events and housework.

She's not like Huang Fei, who can't do anything and is a little spoiled.

Overall, Huang Fei is good, and she is a qualified wife for the Kang family.

"Yes, this is my girlfriend, Sachiko," Ayao steadied himself and introduced Sachiko.

"Sachiko, this is my uncle, Kang Er Zheng," Ayao was a little embarrassed to introduce Kang Er Zheng.

"Uncle?" Sachiko was startled.

She looked at Kang Er Zheng's young and handsome appearance and didn't expect him to be so senior.

"Hello, future niece-in-law," Kang Er Zheng said with a smile.

Sachiko and Ayao blushed when they heard Kang Er Zheng's words.

"Hello, Uncle," Sachiko also greeted him politely.

"Where are you going? Do you want to have dinner together?" Kang Er Zheng said with a smile. "Of course, if you're going for a candlelit dinner, I won't disturb you."

"Uncle, you're kidding, it's only noon, not evening yet, how can we eat candlelight dinner?" Ayao shook his head and laughed. "Where's grandma? Did she go back?"

"Yeah, I just sent them off, they should be back in Hong Kong by now," Kang Er Zheng looked at his watch, it had been over an hour, they should be back in Hong Kong by now.

"Ayao, do you want to go for dinner? I'm leaving if you don't," Kang Er Zheng asked as he got into the car.

Ayao wanted to refuse, but Sachiko directly agreed.

"Yes," Sachiko said directly.

"Get in," Kang Er Zheng pointed to the back seat.

Ayao and Sachiko sat in the back.

"Why are you going for dinner with your uncle?" Ayao asked in a low voice.

"He's your uncle, I'm going to marry you, so I have to win over your family, if we get your uncle on our side now, won't it be easier in the future?" Sachiko said softly.

"Yeah, you're right," Ayao was taken aback, then he nodded repeatedly, he thought Sachiko was right.

Uncle is one of the most important people in the family.

If he helps, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

Ayao thought Sachiko was really smart.

"Who is he? Why do you call him uncle?" Sachiko asked curiously.

"It's like this," Ayao explained to Sachiko in a low voice.

Kang Er Zheng could hear their conversation, but he didn't mind.

"Oh, I see," Sachiko widened her eyes, a little surprised.

She didn't expect Kang Er Zheng to be a true elder.

An ordinary hotel.

"Order whatever you want," Kang Er Zheng ordered two dishes, then handed them the menu. "I'll pay."

"No, no, no, Uncle, how can a junior let an elder pay for the first meeting, let us pay," Sachiko said with a smile.

"Alright," Kang Er Zheng was a little surprised, but since they wanted to pay, let them pay.

Sachiko also ordered two dishes and a soup.

Four dishes and a soup for three people is just right.

"Sachiko, right? Where are you from?" Kang Er Zheng asked.

"I'm from Magic City," Sachiko proudly introduced herself.

She was proud to be from Magic City.

"Magic City, that's great, I've been there once, they say if you want to get rich, go to Magic City," Kang Er Zheng praised.

Magic City is now a place where many people get rich.

Currently, Magic City has the highest economic output.

"Indeed, many outsiders come to Magic City to make money now," Sachiko said proudly.

"Oh, it's a pity, it's a bit difficult now," Kang Er Zheng smiled.
