After settling his uncle and Chen Yue, Chen Yang hurried home.
He had stayed at his aunt's house last night and felt uncomfortable, so tonight he had to be with his wife and children.
Other people who were reborn would make a fortune and have many lovers, but Chen Yang didn't know why, he just wanted to live a small life with his wife and children every day.
Of course, making money was a must; without it, it wouldn't be so easy to live a comfortable little life.
Moreover, doing big business and accelerating China's reform and opening up was also Chen Yang's wish.
In the historical process of reform and opening up, if he, Chen Yang, could leave a brilliant mark and be remembered in history, it seemed like a good choice.
Men, after all, always have some unrealistic ambitions and ideals.
Who hadn't pointed to the sky as a child and said they wanted to be a scientist, an astronaut, or how they would contribute to the country?
Of course, children in later generations might not say that anymore. Due to the rampant spread of the internet, they were exposed too early to things that should only be encountered by adults.
They would always face the camera with expectant faces and say to street photographers, "I want to be an influencer, I want to be a star, I want to be a trainee for two and a half years..."
Yes, the economy had developed, but people's minds had become less pure.
A celebrity could earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions for a TV series, while a national researcher might not even afford a house. Who would want to be a scientist then?
A quick search revealed that an influencer could evade tens of millions or even billions in taxes. Ordinary people, let alone in a lifetime, could not earn that much even in dozens or hundreds of lifetimes without eating or drinking.
Chen Yang felt that before all this happened, he should at least do something.
Not to mention anything else, earning more money, cultivating more talent for the country, sponsoring more students, building more schools, and subsidizing teachers in remote areas were things he could do.
When money reached a certain amount, it was just a number for a person.
Chen Yang had experienced what it felt like to be a billionaire in his previous life, and he didn't feel happier than he was now.
With his wife and children by his side, he already possessed the greatest happiness.
When he had built his business to a certain scale, could steadily earn considerable profits, and had the ability to change a place or even influence a region,
he would choose to permanently set aside a portion of his money to fund impoverished students, subsidize teachers who persevered in remote areas, and retain talents who were preparing to go to the United States for green cards.
At least, such a large country, a country with nearly one-fifth of the world's population, should not be held back by a small chip.
Of course, he wouldn't donate this money to the Red Cross. He would establish such an institution within his future companies.
All subsidiaries under his company would have to establish a charity organization to use a portion of their annual profits to attract talent and nurture the next generation.
The finances of the subsidiaries, the head office, all employees, and the public would jointly supervise the flow of these funds to ensure that they truly assisted those in need and truly retained and nurtured talent.
This idea actually came to Chen Yang when the old village head led the villagers to protect him from being bullied by thugs from a neighboring village who were trying to snatch their fish business shortly after he was reborn.
These were such lovely people living around him, he wanted to lead them to a better life together.
There were too many children in China like Shen Pandi who couldn't afford to study or go to school, and whose parents didn't value education.
Who dared to say that among those who were forced to drop out of school for various reasons, there wouldn't be talents who could become great contributors like Elder Yuan, Elder Qian, and Elder Deng?
Even if they couldn't become such great figures, at least they should be given a fair chance to compete, shouldn't they?
The previous idea, coupled with hearing his uncle recount past events today, made Chen Yang reaffirm this idea in his heart.
He was now full of motivation.
His own family, and the small life he shared with his wife and children, were already enjoyable.
But this was not a reason to slack off; he wanted to lead the people of Shenjiba, and even the entire Liuhe County, to prosperity.
He could also help many children who couldn't afford to complete their studies due to poverty, to pursue their dreams of education. There were so many things he could do.
Chen Yang didn't know if he would forget his original intention after many years, but at this moment, his resolve to do business and build industries was incredibly firm.
Only by earning enough money could he have the ability to do these things.
Not to mention anything else, what Ren Lao Ma did with Ant Forest was quite good, allowing a group of people to tap their fingers and build a forest in the Northwest.
Whether it was a lot or a little, even if it was just one tree, it was better than nothing.
Do not commit evil deeds for trifling reasons, nor neglect good deeds for trifling reasons. A person lives for a lifetime, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Chen Yang felt that since he had embarked on the path of getting rich and supporting his family, and had the foresight of future development, as long as he didn't act foolishly, making a lot of money and surpassing his previous life was inevitable.
If he was willing to work hard, surpassing Xu Yuan Da, Wang Wan Da, Ma A Li, and Ma Qi E was not impossible, even though he might not have their background.
But with his methods and vision, as long as no one deliberately targeted him, it was entirely possible to make a breakthrough and achieve some of the things he envisioned.
"He's not tall, but his ambitions are quite grand. This is nothing yet, as if China can't function without you."
Chen Yang thought while riding his bicycle and almost crashed into a utility pole.
Lying on the ground, the bicycle's spokes spun with a whirring sound for several circles. Chen Yang didn't rush to get up. Looking at the starry sky, he gave a self-deprecating smile.
Now, he finally felt like a young man. After leading Shen Xue and the children to live the good life they deserved, he felt his motivation dwindle.
In the end, his old mindset from his previous life still affected him, giving him a sense of contentment with moderate wealth.
But now it was different; he not only wanted to lead his wife and children to a good life, but he also had more ambitious goals and grander ideals.
Chen Yang smiled. He lay on the ground with the bicycle still on him, laughing like an idiot.
After a long while, feeling the ground was a bit cold, he slowly got up, holding his aching back.
At this moment, he gave a victory sign to the sky.
"I will achieve all of this. This country will be a little different because of my rebirth."

ps: I've wanted to write this section for a long time, but I didn't know what was missing in my writing recently. After Chen Yang began to live a happy little life, I felt the plot had become bland.
I don't know if I influenced Chen Yang or if Chen Yang influenced me. I am a person who is content with modest wealth.
Perhaps Chen Yang has achieved the life I dream of: a wife, children, and a warm hearth, which has made me a little lax. I am also someone who truly hopes to resonate with the words I write.
This chapter has a bit of personal indulgence, but it is also a resonance of my own emotions. I wish our motherland prosperity and strength, and I wish all Chinese people no disasters or misfortunes. I also hope that the readers who are still following this book can be happy and have harmonious families in their real lives.
Next, I hope to write the book better, revitalize the plot, and I also hope for everyone's continued support. Please click "urge update" and send a few free small gifts. Thank you!
