Chapter 448: Inviting Su Mingyue as a Guest

Because the Xingcheng City Government's demolition and relocation work for the old city renovation project of Dongjiang First Bridge still needed some time, Sun Changqing let Chen Yang go to Hong Kong first to prepare funds.

Chen Yang's money was all sitting in his HSBC bank account, so no preparation was needed. He had Su Mingyue go apply for the foreign exchange transfer procedures, then he drove back to Jiangmen Dao.

It just happened to be the weekend, so Lin Jianguo and his son specially drove over to see their respective wives, and Lin Wei, this busy person, also came along.

Seeing his wife tanned like an African, Chen Yang teased Hu Qingwan, saying, "Mom, can this wife be returned?"

Hu Qingwan shook her head firmly and said, "Goods once shipped are not returnable!"

Lin Wei fiercely pinched Chen Yang, then complained to Hu Qingwan, "Mom, you just despise me like that!"

Hu Qingwan snorted lightly and said, "You don't listen at all, what good are you?"

Lin Wei stuck out her tongue, then pulled Chen Yang back to their own villa.

"Honey, Secretary Gong talked with me a while ago, hoping you could go to Dongyang County City to invest in a few projects. Do you have any spare money?"

Chen Yang put his arm around her slender waist and softly said, "As long as the project benefits my wife, I'll scrape together money even if I have none."

Lin Wei rested her head on Chen Yang's chest, closed her eyes, and sighed, "Honey, you're now the famous God of Wealth of Dongjiang Province. Wherever I go, people warmly greet me. Both openly and secretly, they all hope to get benefits from you."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "Just tell them that as long as it gets you promoted quickly, money is no problem."

Lin Wei, hearing that, fiercely pinched Chen Yang again and said unhappily, "What kind of idea is that? If I have to spend money to get promoted, I'd rather just be an ordinary civil servant."

Chen Yang said to her, "If I didn't spend money investing in Shuangfeng Town, would Secretary Gong be so courteous to you?"

Lin Wei rebutted, "That's different. The Shuangfeng Town project can achieve a win-win for investors and farmers. My work is also recognized by the county."

Chen Yang said, "If I put the money for the vegetable greenhouse investment elsewhere, the profits would definitely be higher. I put it in Shuangfeng Town solely because of you. I believe Secretary Gong knows this reason, which is why he's being courteous to you."

Lin Wei did not deny this. No matter how good the project, without investment it's in vain. Her advantage in Dongyang County indeed comes from the substantial funds Chen Yang controls.

"Honey, thank you!"

Chen Yang stroked Lin Wei's soft hair and gently said, "Talking about this between husband and wife is too formal. When you become a high official in the future, I, as your husband, will also bask in reflected glory."

Lin Wei sighed and said, "The higher the position, the greater the responsibility. I don't even know if I'll ever be able to make you proud."

"Come on! You'll definitely make it!" Chen Yang loudly encouraged Lin Wei. He knew his wife's future prospects; at worst she'd be a county party secretary. That position, with Chen Yang's support, is already quite remarkable.

After receiving Chen Yang's encouragement, Lin Wei happily laughed.

After a while, she asked Chen Yang again, "Is Su Su still in Xingcheng?"

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Su Mingyue is handling the procedures for transferring funds from Hong Kong to the mainland; she may still need to stay in Xingcheng for a while."

Lin Wei said, "Then let her come over tonight! I have something I want to say to her."

Chen Yang looked at Lin Wei, puzzled, and said, "You're best friends; do I really need to pass along messages for this kind of thing?"

Lin Wei laughed and said, "You're the owner of this villa; inviting her over as a guest, I naturally need to ask for your opinion!"

Chen Yang rolled his eyes. Lin Wei listening to his opinion? I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!

Seeing Chen Yang not speaking, Lin Wei directly picked up her phone and called Su Mingyue, telling her to come to Jiangmen Dao for dinner after finishing work.

At seven o'clock sharp, Su Mingyue arrived at Chen Yang's villa in Shen Anna's car.

Lin Wei warmly received Su Mingyue and formally introduced her to her own family.

Since it was her first time meeting the Hu family, Su Mingyue appeared quite reserved. Apart from saying a few words to Lin Wei, she spent the rest of the time eating silently.

After dinner, Lin Wei pulled Su Mingyue over to Chen Yang's villa next door.

After Hu Qingwan saw them leave, she suddenly asked Chen Yang, "Little Su is so pretty; she must have a boyfriend, right?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "She's still single."

Hu Qingwan feigned incomprehension and said, "Such an outstanding girl—how could she possibly still be single?"

Chen Yang sensed Hu Qingwan's tone was off and immediately said, "Whether Su Mingyue wants to date is her freedom; as her boss, I have no right to interfere."

Hu Qingwan didn't continue questioning but instead reminded Chen Yang, "You're already a well-known entrepreneur across the province; it's best to keep a certain distance from female colleagues. Those gossip media love to stir things up; even if you're married, it's no problem, but I fear delaying that girl's purity."

Chen Yang, who would not fail to understand Hu Qingwan's meaning, immediately said, "Mom, I really am just classmates and colleagues with Su Mingyue. Besides work, we rarely hang out privately."

Hu Qingwan nodded satisfiedly and said to Chen Yang, "You and Wei Wei should have a kid sooner; only then will your feelings be truly perfect."

Chen Yang, hearing that, gave a helpless smile and said, "Mom, I can't manage that on my own!"

Hu Qingwan snapped, "A real man should be able to toughen up!"

Chen Yang smiled without speaking. If he really dared to use force on Lin Wei, Lin Jianguo and his son would have already beaten him to the ground.

Moreover, Lin Wei has studied martial arts, so he would only be on the receiving end of force.

Just as Chen Yang didn't know how to extricate himself, Zhu Zhu's phone suddenly rang.

"Chen Yang, are you still in Shencheng?"

"I'm in Xingcheng, can't get away for now. What's up?"

"I've invited world-renowned designer Smith Luo to design the Commoners' Commercial Building for you. If you have time, I plan to bring him over to talk."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang instantly felt a mix of laughter and tears. Turns out this was Zhu Zhu's surprise for him. He had thought she might offer herself instead……

Rash!

Since Zhu Zhu had already hired a professional design team, Chen Yang no longer needed to have Hu Haiquan recruit people.

He said to Zhu Zhu, "Miss Zhu, you guys first go check out the construction site of the Commoners' Commercial Building tomorrow. I'll arrange for someone to get in touch with you."

Zhu Zhu indicated she had no objection.

After Chen Yang thought for a while, he immediately called Hu Haiquan and told him that Zhu Zhu wanted to bring internationally renowned designer Shi Mi Si Luo to design the ordinary people's commercial building. The latter was very excited.
