Chapter 326: Hu Qingwan's Worries

Chen Yang's guess was correct. When Chu Zhengyuan sent people to that real estate agency to gather evidence, the place was already emptied out.

According to descriptions from nearby neighbors, the other party had called over a dozen people and a medium-sized truck, and in just a few minutes they moved everything that could be moved.

Judging by this situation, they likely collectively relocated elsewhere to continue scamming people.

Xiao Jian suggested going to confront that middle-aged officer, but Chen Yang refused.

First, they have no direct evidence proving that the other side leaked information.

Second, the other party has worked for many years at the Deep City Police Station and, within the public security system, has some connections of their own. As long as there isn't a serious violation, even pulling in Yexin's connections might not be enough to deal with them.

On the contrary, doing so might instead earn their grudge.

Chen Yang's foothold in Deep City is still unsteady; a local policeman wanting to trip him up has too many means, whether shady or above-board, and it would be unpleasant.

So, at this stage there's no need to act impulsively.

Of course, just in case. Chen Yang still asked Xiao Jian to stay in Deep City for a while, until Su Mingyue finishes handling the shop matters, before returning to Dongjiangsheng.

As for Chu Zhengyuan, Chen Yang went and signed a long-term cooperation agreement with him. Regarding the legal affairs of Ordinary People Hong Kong Financial Investment Company's future investments in the mainland, his law firm will handle them entirely from now on.

With Xiao Jian and Chu Zhengyuan assisting Su Mingyue, Chen Yang finally felt at ease boarding a plane back to Xingcheng, and then drove from Xingcheng back to Qingshui City.

Upon hearing that Chen Yang had returned, Hu Qingwan specially called to let him and Lin Wei come to the Lin family home for dinner that evening.

To win Hu Qingwan's favor, Chen Yang brought two boxes of the Hong-style pastries that Zhu Zhu had given him to the Lin family. At the same time, he gave the longevity lock he bought in Hong Kong to Du Yue'e, as an advance gift for the baby.

"Chen Yang, every time you go to Hong Kong you bring me gifts; I don't know how to repay this kindness." Du Yue'e felt a little embarrassed. Since Chen Yang entered the Lin household, she has been constantly cared for. This warmth is something she cannot get from Lin Feng.

Of course, she also understands. Chen Yang treats her well because he values Lin Wei's face. And Lin Feng is Lin Wei's brother. Tracing it back, she still enjoys Lin Feng's blessings.

"Sister-in-law, we're all one family, no need to stand on ceremony. Besides, you help me keep an eye on the finances of Ordinary People Meat Industry Co., Ltd. —that's a great achievement too!" Chen Yang now has money; his mindset is completely different from his previous life. As long as he can spend each day happily, he feels content.

"Chen Yang, no matter what, sister-in-law still has to thank you." Du Yue'e is someone who knows her own limits. Given her education and ability, not to mention being a finance manager, she wouldn't even qualify as an ordinary accountant. The company's staff respect her solely because of Chen Yang's face.

"Alright, you two, cut the formalities." Hu Qingwan summoned Chen Yang back not to hear family gossip but to discuss something important. She earnestly told Chen Yang: "Xiao Jian said on the phone that you made over three billion from handling your stocks in Hong Kong—is that true?"

Chen Yang nodded and said to Hu Qingwan: "Mom, to be frank, my bank's cash flow now exceeds four billion."

As soon as he finished speaking, all members of the Lin family fell silent.

Since Chen Yang won the twenty-million-yuan lottery jackpot, only a few months have passed and his net worth has already increased two hundredfold!

If this gets out, even the national news broadcast might come to report his deeds.

"Chen Yang, I heard you're planning to invest in real estate in Deep City?" Hu Qingwan struggled to calm herself. Although she already knew Chen Yang had made a lot of money in the US stock market, she hadn't expected it to be over three billion. This heaven-defying money-making ability could not only benefit the Lin family, but also let the Hu family share in the gains.

Chen Yang nodded: "Mom, transferring funds from Hong Kong directly to the mainland involves complicated procedures. So I plan to use that money to invest in mainland real estate."

Hu Qingwan greatly agreed with Chen Yang's decision. Deep City is a special zone with a large transient population; investing in real estate there yields far greater returns than in Dongjiangsheng. Moreover, she summoned Chen Yang back this time also to discuss matters related to real estate.

"Chen Yang, Weiwei's paternal uncle is the Deputy Mayor of Deep City. He happens to have a real estate project in hand—are you interested?"

Chen Yang asked: "Isn't there a need to avoid conflict of interest?"

Hu Qingwan shook her head: "Your maternal grandfather has already retired. He doesn't really care about Hu family affairs anymore. As long as the procedures are legal, the rest doesn't matter."

"Alright, then I'll make another trip to Deep City." In his heart, Chen Yang was eager to invest in a real estate project of his own in Deep City. At this stage, doing real estate there carries low risk and high profit. As long as he sells before the real estate economy downturns, his current net worth could at least increase severalfold.

Hu Qingwan worried that Chen Yang might act impulsively just because of her words, and she solemnly reminded him: "The investment for this project is huge—at least over ten billion. You need to think it through."

Chen Yang said without hesitation: "Deep City's real estate has great appreciation potential; as long as the government poses no obstacle, even letting me invest twenty billion would be fine."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qingwan felt a bit impressed by her son-in-law's daring. As the son of a farmer, his business acumen surpasses that of most wealthy heirs who received higher education from childhood. She also wondered what love potion her daughter had used to lure him into the family.

"Chen Yang, you've just come back; there's no need to rush over there. The matter can be handled first by Weiwei's paternal uncle." Hu Qingwan didn't want Hu family affairs to affect the rare reunion time of her daughter and son-in-law.

If Lin Wei were pregnant, she wouldn't actually worry about Chen Yang developing his career long-term away from home. The key is that this daughter of hers is solely focused on her career and doesn't want to have children at all.

If this pushes Chen Yang to the edge and he goes out to find someone else, then she as a mother would become an accomplice!

What worries Hu Qingwan is that Xiao Jian told her that the young woman who accompanied Chen Yang on this trip to Hong Kong, as well as the people he met there, are all very beautiful.

If Lin Wei lacks a sense of crisis, over time something will surely happen.

"Weiwei, Chen Yang's career is already this successful; you don't need to strive so hard. It would be better to stay home and attend to your husband and children."

Lin Wei saw Hu Qingwan again urging her to have children and immediately protested: "Mom, Chen Yang has his career, I have my ideals; they can't be lumped together."

Hu Qingwan sighed; some things are hard to say in front of Chen Yang, so she could only swallow them.

She glanced at Lin Jianguo, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa smoking, and instantly flew into a rage.

"All you do all day is smoke; don't you know if someone in the family is pregnant?"

Lin Jianguo, who hadn't even earned the sudden blaze that burned onto himself, silently stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it into the ashtray.
