Chapter 561

"Chen Yang, let's remarry?"

After a night of intimacy, Lin Wei suddenly proposed remarriage to Chen Yang. She felt that to regain the outside world's trust in Qingshui City, the only way was to repair her relationship with Chen Yang. Remarriage was the most effective method at this stage.

As long as the news of their remarriage spreads, everyone will have a new interpretation of the equity change of Old Hundred Meat Industry Limited Company.

Chen Yang was surprised by Lin Wei's sudden change. He retorted, "Wife, if I don't agree, will you make me immediately put on my pants and get lost?"

Lin Wei originally thought Chen Yang would agree without hesitation, but he actually wanted to refuse! She struggled to suppress her urge to hit him, and spoke calmly: "You've always wanted to remarry, haven't you? Now I agree, and you're backing out. Were you just acting all along?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I really did want to remarry you before, but I've changed my mind. I don't know if you truly want to remarry me or if it's for the benefit of the Lin and Hu families."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei fell silent instantly.

Seeing her hesitate, Chen Yang immediately confirmed his suspicion. He then said, "Your personality is too domineering; you rarely consider my feelings. Even if we remarried, we'd still end up arguing, and then divorce again in the midst of the argument."

Lin Wei frowned, displeased, and said, "Chen Yang, I've always been like this. Why could you accept me before but not now? Or do you have someone new?"

Seeing her overthink again, Chen Yang sighed and said, "Our problems have nothing to do with other women. Most importantly, what place do I hold in your heart now? When I clash with your family, will you side with me?"

Lin Wei was momentarily stunned by Chen Yang's question, because her purpose for remarriage was solely for the benefit of the Lin family in Qingshui City.

Faced with Chen Yang's questioning, she wanted to tell a lie, but the words died on her lips.

"If you don't want to remarry, then get out of my bed right now!" Lin Wei felt a sudden surge of unnamed anger. Chen Yang used to be completely obedient to her, but now he's totally changed.

Chen Yang didn't want their relationship to become too strained, so he spoke gently: "Wife, don't be angry. Even if we don't remarry, I'll continue to treat you well as always."

Lin Wei snorted, "I don't need that. Also, don't call me wife anymore. At most I'm just your ex-wife." Having said that, she shoved Chen Yang off the bed with force.

After getting up from the bedroom wooden floor, Chen Yang kept dressing while assuring Lin Wei, "Wife, rest assured, I will definitely continue to treat you well as always."

"Get lost!" Lin Wei saw Chen Yang had dressed but wasn't leaving, so she threw two pillows at him.

Seeing this, Chen Yang worried she might explode into violence, so he quickly slipped out of the bedroom and ran out of the Lin family villa as fast as he could.

Only after returning to the annex of the East Jiang Business Alliance did Chen Yang finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, ever since Lin Wei forcibly took his phone yesterday, Chen Yang had abandoned the idea of remarriage.

He noticed Lin Wei's controlling nature growing stronger. To achieve her goals, she no longer considered his feelings. If they remarried under these circumstances, he would only become a stepping stone on the Lin and Hu families' political path.

What frightened Chen Yang most was the possibility that, if he ever lost his usefulness, he would be discarded once again.

They were, after all, still people from two different worlds.

To avoid embarrassment, Chen Yang decided to temporarily leave Jiangmen Dao. He moved his belongings to the hillside villa that Zhao Xiaoli bought for him in Jiangbei New.

This hillside villa was also developed by Wu Shi Real Estate, located between the Dongjiang River and Xingcheng University. Driving to the summit, one can overlook the vast Dongjiang River to the front and admire Xingcheng University and its surrounding cultural scenery to the back. Compared to Jiangmen Dao, the scenery here is better and travel is more convenient.

Of course, housing prices are also higher. The villas on Jiangmen Dao are brand new, costing only 1.5 million each. Here it's a second-hand house that others have lived in for eight years, yet it costs 4 million.

Because the original owner maintained it well, Chen Yang does not plan to renovate the villa's interior structure again; he just has Zhao Xiaoli replace all the appliances inside with new ones.

To prevent disturbances, Chen Yang arranged four bodyguards to handle security inside and outside the villa.

Besides that, he also hired two nannies to take care of his daily life.

After packing his luggage, Chen Yang started calling the members of the East Jiang Business Alliance. Although he refused Lin Wei's remarriage request, he still had to fulfill what he promised her and Lin Jianguo.

Chen Yang first called Zhou Baolin: "Director Zhou, Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd. is about to go public, and my trading company will also expand its investment in Qingshui City; your company could actually consider expanding business there."

Zhou Benlin said with some difficulty: "General Manager Chen, I know you're forced to come as an emissary. The problem is, they treat you, their own, this badly; will they be good to us outsiders?"

Chen Yang immediately explained: "Quitting Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd. was actually my idea. You know, I now have an additional listed company, and I don't have much energy to spare for the IPO plan of Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd. To avoid affecting Qingshui City's development, I reluctantly gave it up."

Zhou Baolin was silent for a moment on his end, then said to Chen Yang: "General Manager Chen, I'll first go with the group to tour Lianzhou City. If there's no suitable investment opportunity there, I'll then go to Qingshui City to have a look."

Seeing that he was still resistant, Chen Yang also didn't want to force him.

Afterwards, Chen Yang called the others as well, and the results were much the same.

This, however, put Chen Yang in a difficult spot.

He had already promised Lin Wei and Lin Jianguo to bring some investment to Qingshui City. If in the end nobody goes, Lin Wei will only misunderstand him even more.

Chen Yang merely didn't want to remarry, and he had no intention of becoming enemies with Lin Wei.

After thinking it over, Chen Yang simply drove to the Xingcheng Women's Prison and had Ma Haiyan arrange a meeting with Yexin.

As long as he could persuade Yexin, Chen Yang could at least get the Xinghui Financial Investment Company to increase its investment in Qingshui City.

But after hearing Chen Yang's statement, Yexin also refused the suggestion to invest in Qingshui City.

"Chen Yang, you're really despicable! They treat you like that, yet you still repay hatred with kindness?"

"Sister Yexin, Qingshui City is after all my hometown; if its development is too poor, how will people view me?"

"Then why don't you just invest directly? Why make me do the foolish thing of throwing a meat bun at a dog?"

"If I go invest, wouldn't I truly become a simp? Or you go instead! As an exchange, I can increase investment in Xinan City."

"No way! Xinan City currently has nothing to do with me either. If it weren't for Yao Xia still being somewhat useful, I would have withdrawn my investment there long ago!"
