Chapter 465: Lin Wei's Promotion

Sun Changqing didn't expect Chen Yang to borrow money so quickly; a single phone call settled it.

"Chen Yang, I need to remind you, the East Jiang New City project is highly valued by the province; you must not cause any trouble again."

"Mayor Sun, rest assured, since I've taken on this project, I won't let it fail."

Seeing Chen Yang's attitude return to how it was at the beginning, Sun Changqing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That evening, Chen Yang announced on the Ordinary People Financial Investment Company's website that Phase One and Phase Two of the East Jiang New City project would proceed simultaneously.

At the same time, Chen Yang also announced the news that the company had secured 500 million yuan in financing from Xinghui Financial Investment Company.

After the news came out, Chen Yang's phone started ringing nonstop; all were people with various connections seeking to discuss cooperation with him.

Chen Yang handed over all business related to the East Jiang New City project to Liu Shijie's Sunshine Real Estate and Zhao Feiyang's maternal grandfather's Wu Clan Real Estate for handling.

He himself then returned to Qingshui City to seek tranquility.

However, this tranquil period only lasted two days before Zhang Chunhua's phone rang again.

"Chen Yang, I heard you've returned to Qingshui; Secretary Kong asked me to invite you to the municipal committee."

"Chief Secretary Zhang, how did Secretary Kong know I've come back?"

"Hehe, someone leaked me an important piece of information. When you weren't in Qingshui, my sister-in-law usually got off work a little late. After you returned, she's been punctual."

Chen Yang was somewhat speechless; Kong Jie, in order to catch him, had actually planted an undercover agent beside Lin Wei.

Actually, Kong Jie really doesn't need to rush about the May First Road Commercial Street matter; once the leasing work for Qinghe Building is finished, Chen Yang will naturally assign Zhang Linlin to take charge of that project.

But since Kong Jie had Zhang Chunhua pass along the message, he still had to go in person.

After driving to the Qingshui Municipal Committee compound, he discovered that East Sun County Party Secretary Gong Wen had also come. When they met, the other was just leaving Kong Jie's office after reporting work.

"Secretary Gong, long time no see!"

"Mr. Chen, can we talk privately?"

Seeing Gong Wen's solemn expression, Chen Yang immediately nodded and followed him to the corner of the municipal committee office.

"Secretary Gong, what matter is so mysterious?"

"Mr. Chen, it's like this. The Party Secretary of Double Phoenix Town, Hu Tianyu, has performed outstandingly these past years; the county plans to promote him to deputy county governor. Before stepping down, he recommended Town Mayor Lin to the county committee as the new candidate for Town Party Secretary. What do you think?"

Chen Yang never expected Hu Tianyu to recommend Lin Wei as the Party Secretary of Double Phoenix Town, nor did he expect Gong Wen to come to him to discuss this.

"Secretary Gong, my wife has only just assumed the position of town mayor not long ago; to take on the town party secretary role so quickly—wouldn't that be too fast?"

Gong Wen said: "The town party secretary and the town mayor are of equal rank. As long as ability is not an issue, the mayor can also hold the town party secretary position."

Chen Yang felt his explanation was rather far-fetched. But who wouldn't want his wife to get promoted faster?

Thus, Chen Yang directly asked Gong Wen: "Secretary Gong, are you wanting me to invest in Qingshui County, and therefore—"

Gong Wen shook his head: "Double Phoenix Town is all your investment; letting Lin Wei concurrently serve as town party secretary can ensure sustained, stable development there."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

After Gong Wen finished discussing Lin Wei's matter with Chen Yang, he left directly.

Chen Yang slowly walked into Kong Jie's office.

"Chen Yang, when do you plan to take over the May First Road project?"

"Senior leader, let's wait until the leasing work for Qinghe Building is finished before talking about this project!"

Kong Jie frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Chen Yang's answer. After a while, he said: "The work on Qinghe Building and the May First Road project can proceed simultaneously. Since you're not short of funds, it's better to settle this sooner!"

Chen Yang lacks not money but people. Before the leasing work for Qinghe Building is completed, he truly cannot find anyone to help manage the renovation of the May First Road Commercial Street project.

"Senior leader, I can take on the project. But you also know I don't have enough staff; I can't devote myself wholeheartedly to handling this work!"

Kong Jie said: "First secure the project; the manpower issue can be discussed later."

Chen Yang could only agree.

That evening, as Lin Wei was returning home, she suddenly jumped onto Chen Yang.

"Honey, let me tell you good news: the county is preparing to let me take over Secretary Hu's position."

"Wow, wife, you're amazing! You got promoted so quickly."

Lin Wei sighed: "I'm just lucky. Most of the investment in Double Phoenix Town comes from you. People respect me because they're giving you face."

"However, after I become town party secretary, having a child might have to wait a while."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang felt as if struck by thunder. Had he known this would be the outcome, he shouldn't have agreed to Gong Wen.

"Wife, being town party secretary and having a child aren't conflicting, are they?"

Lin Wei shook her head and explained: "The town party secretary's work is very busy; if I were pregnant, I couldn't fully devote myself to work. So I'd rather wait a bit before considering having a child."

Chen Yang said angrily: "For your sake, your mother couldn't even look after your sister-in-law, running all the way back to boil medicine for you. And this is how you repay her?"

Chen Yang's face turned slightly red as he whispered: "I have been taking the medicine diligently!"

Seeing Chen Yang unmoved, she said again: "Honey, I haven't told the family about Qingqing's matter. If you support my career this time, I can let bygones be bygones for her."

From the recent attitude of the Lin family toward him, Chen Yang guessed that Lin Wei was concealing Liu Qingqing's pregnancy. But he never imagined that, for her own advancement, Lin Wei would tolerate the child in Liu Qingqing's womb.

"Wife, regardless of whether the child in Qingqing's belly is mine or not, I still hope you can give the Chen family an heir."

Lin Wei indifferently told Chen Yang: "Honey, once my work stabilizes, having a child later won't be too late."

Seeing her resolve set, Chen Yang could only agree.

Lin Wei happily kissed Chen Yang, and their two long-suppressed souls quickly merged into one.

Of course, this was a union with Lin Wei taking precautionary measures.

Her infertility hasn't been completely cured, but she also doesn't want to take risks.

After a night of passion, Lin Wei returned to her original workaholic state.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang could only return alone to Xingcheng.

After returning to his own villa, he instinctively dialed Guo Jin's phone.

"Manager Guo, have you found that friend of mine? How is she doing?"

General Manager Chen, Miss Liu is doing well. She lives in the property of your Everyman Financial Investment Company in Hong Kong.

The property in Hong Kong?

Chen Yang suddenly recalled that Su Mingyue had mentioned to him earlier that she wanted to invest in real estate in Hong Kong. He never expected that her purpose in buying a house was to provide accommodation for Liu Qingqing.
