Chapter 29: Urban Godly Rich System (28)

Xie Yang had just returned to Xiaoling County when she received a call from the Education Bureau.

They said the site she applied for to build the school had been approved; it was on the outskirts of Xie Family Village, a remote area with few people, and the land transfer price was extremely cheap.

It was only then that Di Lao realized: the so-called school didn't even have a shadow of existence yet!

As the only faculty member currently, would he have to go down to the fields himself to build the schoolhouse?

Xie Yang laughed happily: "Don't worry! These tasks won't fall to us; professional matters must be left to professional people to handle!"

She hired a local construction team and launched the school construction project in full swing.

Someone asked her why she didn't assemble a team herself?

She had money, so she didn't worry about not finding a high-quality construction team; why go through the trouble of assembling one herself?

With money, what kind of team couldn't she hire?

Design was left to the design team, construction to the construction team, renovation to the renovation team...

Finally, all orders for the school's curtains, uniforms, work clothes, and anything else requiring Fabric were handed over to her eldest cousin.

Xie Xudong exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

A single order from his cousin surpassed the sum of all orders from previous years!

Not only that, but the school leaders in the town, not knowing what wind they had heard, specifically came to his door to seek cooperation, saying that everything before was a misunderstanding and the uniform order was meant for him all along.

Xie Xudong: "..."

He had truly experienced the meaning of the idiom "when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

A few days ago he was worried about being idle, and a few days later he was busy flying.

Finding a moment of leisure, he pulled his cousin aside: "Yang Yang, are these work clothes for the teachers? How are they even more impressive than the uniforms of government agencies! And do students really need so many sets of uniforms? What if the parents protest and aren't willing to buy them?"

"They won't refuse! I'm giving them at cost price: sports suits for the four seasons, formal wear for spring and autumn, and windbreakers for winter—two sets per person per season. Aren't they better quality and cheaper than what you buy outside?"

"Then wouldn't you not be making any money?"

"That's right! I never intended to make money by running this school."

"..."

Xie Xudong really wanted to shake her awake: If you didn't intend to make money, why are you opening it! Are you full and bored... oh, it must be that she's stuffed with the money in her pockets!

Xie Yang wasn't just investing without profit; she was also donating money!

She donated a sprawling asphalt road to the town in her hometown;

She donated a batch of world-class medical equipment to the County hospital;

She donated a library, a Shiyan Lou, and a computer room to the village primary school;

She donated a staff dormitory comparable to a furnished apartment to the village primary school faculty...

Donating all the way, she discovered along the way that many children in the village had only ever been as far as the County, had never seen a giant panda, never been to an amusement park, and never ridden a high-speed train or airplane...

So, she found the County leaders again to approve a piece of land, intending to build a super-large global park integrating a Beijing Zoo, a botanical garden, an amusement park, a 4D cinema, and a technology experience hall.

The County leaders looked at the construction blueprint she brought and were initially troubled:

"In our small County, let alone the large amusement parks with tickets costing hundreds like in big cities, even small amusement parks don't last long. If the ticket price is set high, parents won't be willing to bring their children to play; if it's set low, long-term losses will eventually lead to operational difficulties and it won't be able to stay open..."

Xie Yang waved her hand: "It's fine, my purpose in opening this park is not for profit."

"..."

The County leader confirmed again and again: "You don't mind even if it loses money?"

"I don't mind. Which public welfare project doesn't lose money?"

"..."

After clicking his tongue in wonder, the County leader happily invited Xie Yang to go pick out the land.

There were so many idle commercial plots in the suburbs, she could pick any one!

If this project could really get off the ground, not only would it bring a significant amount of land transfer revenue to the local treasury, but once the park opened, it could also solve a wave of labor issues, bring in tax revenue, and perhaps even drive the development of the tourism industry.

These were all achievements delivered to his doorstep! How could he not be happy!

Xie Yang was also happy: the money in her hands hadn't even warmed up before it was spent, and it was spent quite worthily.

So much so that when Wu Tianyu called again to urge her to invest in a so-called "godly rich" project, this sister spread her hands and said with a hint of excitement: "Sorry, Mr. Wu, I have no money!"

"..."

No money and still this excited?

Is she sick!

"No, how could you have no money?"

Wu Tianyu had been sending people to keep an eye on the demolition progress of Wanhua Residential Quarter; the demolition compensation hadn't come down yet, but it was soon, otherwise he wouldn't have called to lobby Xie Yang at this time.

He couldn't explain why he was so fixated on cooperating with Xie Yang.

Billions were indeed a lot, but as a descendant of the Gangcheng Wu Family, he hadn't exactly never encountered larger capital pools.

Perhaps it was a feeling in the dark that made him feel he must seize this opportunity.

"Miss Xie, are you really not considering cooperating with my Wu Family?"

"It's not that I'm not considering it, it's that I really have no money to consider. I owe a mountain of debt back in my hometown, and I'm just waiting for the demolition money to come down to pay it off!"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Tianyu looked gloomy and scolded the person tracking Xie Yang: "Didn't I tell you to watch her movements twenty-four hours a day? Why didn't you tell me she went to a casino?"

"Boss, I've been wronged! I've been following her the whole time, I haven't seen her go to any casino; let alone a casino, I haven't even seen her touch a mahjong table in her hometown!"

Hearing this, Wu Tianyu frowned: "Then why did she say she owed a mountain of debt? Give me a proper report, what exactly has she been doing during this time?"

"Yes, Mr. Wu!" The man reported Xie Yang's recent activities one by one: "... Miss Xie first went to the largest villa development in the area and bought a villa with a mortgage; then she donated one million to the Education Bureau and inquired about the procedures for running a school; then she ran all over the County, successively contracting a tea mountain that couldn't sell its tea, an Orchard that couldn't sell its fruit, a Nongchang where the weeds were as high as my thighs, a breeding farm that couldn't be transferred, and two restaurants that were poorly managed and closed down... These past two days she seems to be choosing a site in the countryside to build some kind of global park..."

The more Wu Tianyu heard, the more confused he became. What was this woman doing?

Not staying in a good big city, running off to a remote small County, and then investing in a batch of broken businesses that looked like money pits at first glance. Is this an investment? This is fucking charity, right?

Xie Yang: You guessed right! But there's no prize!

She had known for a long time that someone was following her.

Her luxury car motorcade and bodyguard team were not just for show; after counter-tracking and discovering that the person following her was sent by Wu Tianyu, she remained calm on the surface, while secretly having her bodyguards audit the accounts of the Gangcheng Wu Family.

A family business that started in the underworld, its background was never clean to begin with, and even though they had been trying to whitewash it for years, there would always be some illegal remnants left behind.

Xie Yang had always upheld the principle of "if people don't offend me, I won't offend them," but if "people offend me," she was no pushover; even in that lifetime when she was bound to the Saint System, she was willing to risk everything to drag the emperor off his horse.

While people were over there collecting evidence of the Wu family's illegal activities, the projects she invested in were starting up in full swing over here.
