Chapter 582: Changes in Twin Phoenix Town

After not seeing each other for a while, Lin Wei's mental condition was much worse than before.

When Chen Yang went to Jiangmen Dao to see her, she was in the study writing documents, and the child was placed in the living room for the nanny to watch.

She said she was coming for a vacation, but in fact she just changed her workplace.

Chen Yang merely glanced at her, then returned to the living room to hold Chen Shengli and go outside to bask in the sun.

As he went out, he happened to run into Lin Jianguo and Hu Qingwan returning from outside.

"Chen Yang, persuade Weiwei not to be obsessed with work all day, as if the world would stop turning without her." Hu Qingwan complained to her former son-in-law, dissatisfied.

Chen Yang gave a wry smile: "Mom, I couldn't control her before, and now I can even less."

Hu Qingwan sighed: "You two were doing fine, how did it end up like this?"

Chen Yang did not respond. Although he bears some responsibility, if the elders of the Hu and Lin families had not interfered, things would not have come to this point.

Seeing Chen Yang silent, Hu Qingwan continued: "Chen Yang, you should remarry. Even if not for Weiwei, think about the child."

Chen Yang shook his head: "Mom, I think this is fine as it is. No matter what I do outside, it won't affect you. If you encounter any trouble, I won't stand by."

Hu Qingwan, hearing that, guessed Chen Yang was still holding a grudge over the elders' affairs, and didn't want to say more. She fell silent for a moment, then said: "Over in Goat City, I've already greeted your uncle and told him not to make things difficult for you. If you have any needs, you can also go discuss with him."

Chen Yang immediately thanked her. However, with his connection to Deputy Governor Luo and the Chu Family, he actually no longer needed Lin Wei's maternal uncle's help.

Actually, as long as the other side stops causing him trouble, that would be the best outcome.

At this moment, Lin Jianguo also spoke. He asked Chen Yang solemnly: "Are your layouts in Deep City and Goat City preparations for moving the Ordinary People's Agricultural Products Trading Company to the south?"

Chen Yang shook his head. Although he had considered moving the company headquarters to Deep City, that was based on the premise that Xingcheng was no longer viable.

After all, Deep City has as many enterprises as cow hairs, and many policies may not cover the Ordinary People's Agricultural Products Trading Company. In Xingcheng, however, they are undoubtedly star enterprises; every move attracts attention from the province and the city.

"Dad, it's actually the same wherever we go public; the key is to strengthen the company itself. Without achievements, no matter where we are, we won't be valued."

Lin Jianguo deeply felt Chen Yang's words. Liu Jianghua and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission had previously hinted several times that he should move the Ordinary People's Meat Industry Limited Company to Xingcheng.

After Chen Yang announced his withdrawal, they never brought it up again.

It is obvious they no longer have confidence in the prospects of the Ordinary People's Meat Industry Limited Company.

Moreover, the new management of the Ordinary People's Meat Industry Limited Company is also unremarkable. After so long, they still haven't developed a new market. The company's product exports still rely on Chen Yang's Agricultural Products Trading Company.

For this reason, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Kong Jie has privately complained to him many times.

Faced with Kong Jie's dissatisfaction, Lin Jianguo is also helpless. Regarding his daughter and son-in-law's marriage, and the change of control of the Ordinary People's Meat Industry Limited Company, he has never had a say from beginning to end.

"Chen Yang, if it weren't for you, you should still return to the Ordinary People's Meat Industry Limited Company! I heard the workers there only obey you."

Chen Yang gave a wry smile: "Dad, I really don't have time to manage that now. Moreover, as long as the Ordinary People's Meat Industry Limited Company doesn't cut off the agricultural products company's exclusive sales rights, I believe things will only get better from now on."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Chen Yang, Lin Jianguo could only return to his villa with Hu Qingwan.

Chen Yang held the child and walked around the garden a few times, then finally returned to Lin Wei's room.

At this moment, Lin Wei had finished her work. She had the nanny take the child to Lin Jianguo's villa, then pulled Chen Yang into her bedroom.

After a bout of passion, Lin Wei lay in Chen Yang's arms and began to complain: "I work early and late every day, yet the economic development of Twin Phoenix Town remains stagnant. Recently, many young workers have gone south. Calling them to do ideological work is useless. If this continues, I can't keep doing this job."

Chen Yang laughed: "People move to higher ground, water flows downward. The income in Deep City is now several times that of the family; anyone with hope for life wants to earn more money."

Lin Wei objected: "The wages in Deep City are generally just over a thousand. If they worked steadily with me, they might not earn less than working there."

Chen Yang laughed helplessly: "Over a thousand is the upper limit in Twin Phoenix Town, but the lower limit in Deep City. How can you compare the best with the worst?"

Lin Wei lightly pinched Chen Yang, annoyed: "Can't you say something to make me happy?"

Chen Yang spoke seriously: "Wife, you need to consider the feelings of ordinary people. They leave their hometowns to work in the south, also hoping to live better. Twin Phoenix Town is considered relatively developed in Dongyang County, but how many households in the town can actually build new houses? If they don't go outside to seek opportunities, not to mention building new houses, even making a living is a problem."

Lin Wei instantly fell silent. Her vegetable greenhouse plan had succeeded in Twin Phoenix Town, but only those ordinary people who received policy compensation could afford to build new houses there; most still live in dilapidated earthen brick houses.

"Chen Yang, do you have any way to further increase everyone's income?"

"None!" Chen Yang said bluntly: "At present, the average income of ordinary people in Qingshui City is low; if Twin Phoenix Town exceeded the city, where would Secretary Kong and your dad save face?"

Lin Wei thought for a moment and agreed it made sense. The average wage in Qingshui City is only a few hundred yuan per month; if Twin Phoenix Town's income exceeded the city's, the problem would blow up!

Seeing Lin Wei silent, Chen Yang added: "I've recently made a lot of money in the stock market; if you really want to challenge this, I can invest another hundred million in Twin Phoenix Town."

Hearing that, Lin Wei happily kissed Chen Yang's face: "Let's keep that hundred million for now. Most of the town's young labor force has left; pouring in more money wouldn't change anything and would only give corrupt people loopholes to exploit."

"Fine, just tell me when you need it." Chen Yang had originally just wanted to please Lin Wei. Since she wasn't in a hurry, he naturally didn't mind either.

"I need it now." Lin Wei gave a wicked laugh, straddled Chen Yang, and began exercising again.

Half an hour later, Lin Wei finally walked into the bathroom satisfied.
