Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Du Xiaojuan was driving, Wang Dashan sat in the passenger seat, Wang Erhai and two other Shanhai Real Estate employees sat in the back.

They were on their way to Shanggou Village.

Having finally come back once, they certainly couldn't leave right after the banquet; they definitely had to return to their hometown, after all, the town was less than twenty minutes' drive from their hometown.

"Do you think I should find an excuse to decline Chunsheng's cooperation?"

Wang Dashan suddenly spoke up, asking Du Xiaojuan such a question.

He was purely doing this to avoid suspicion, to let Du Xiaojuan see his sincerity.

If it were purely cooperating with Chunsheng, he would certainly accept gladly.

But the problem was that Xiao Xueqing was the one who made the connection, and any discerning person could see that Xiao Xueqing was being overly enthusiastic toward him, making it hard not to think in that direction.

Wang Dashan was an adult now; even if he were slow, he could sense something was off.

He didn't want to be like other men, neither refusing nor accepting other women's aggressive advances, and didn't want his ambiguous attitude to affect his relationship with Du Xiaojuan.

He and Du Xiaojuan had been separated for a long time before; that experience helped him grow a lot, making him more mature, steady, and responsible.

"No need, this is a good thing for your Shanhai Real Estate."

Du Xiaojuan was very generous; she had also noticed Xiao Xueqing's excessive enthusiasm toward Wang Dashan, but she didn't let Wang Dashan miss such a money-making opportunity just for her own private interests.

She also said:

"Shanhai Real Estate now only does second-hand housing business; the product channel is too single. Not only is the risk high, but the ceiling is also low. Now is an opportunity to re-enter the new commercial housing market. As long as the cooperation with Chunsheng succeeds, Shanhai Real Estate can transform into a strategy of surrounding the cities from the countryside. You can't sell new commercial housing in first-tier cities like Guangzhou, so sell in the surrounding cities of Guangzhou. Now the country is vigorously developing real estate; for the sale of new commercial housing, various policies have been introduced to restrict the sale of second-hand housing, causing housing prices in first-tier cities to skyrocket. This will surely lead to many homebuyers who can't afford first-tier cities to overflow into surrounding second- and third-tier cities, thereby driving real estate development in those surrounding cities."

Although Du Xiaojuan wasn't in the real estate industry, her analysis, under the environment at that time, could be called extremely precise.

From 2013 to 2019, real estate still had six years of rapid development.

Especially after the 2015 monetized shantytown renovation to clear inventory, housing prices soared all the way, and real estate almost entered a state of frenzied development.

Of course, after 2019, that was a later story.

Now it was 2013; Du Xiaojuan couldn't see that far. Like the vast majority of people at the time, she wouldn't think that far ahead; as long as she could make the money right in front of her, that was enough.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, what you said makes a lot of sense. I also feel that our Shanhai Real Estate only doing second-hand housing business, even if done to the extreme, can't make much big money."

Wang Erhai very much agreed with Du Xiaojuan's view.

Wang Dashan also nodded in agreement.

How could he not want to do new commercial housing business?

It was just that because he was young and inexperienced before, cooperating with Li Mingxin and violating industry taboos, he was blacklisted by Anjia Real Estate together with other developers, so he had no choice but to open up second-hand housing channels.

"Xiao Juan, I also want to re-enter the new commercial housing market, it's just that I look at that Xiao Xueqing, she seems to have feelings for me, I'm afraid..."

Wang Dashan spoke frankly to Du Xiaojuan.

But Du Xiaojuan waved her hand, interrupting his words:

"Afraid of what? Would a Deputy County Magistrate look down on you, an outsider of the system? You're obviously thinking too much; don't be narcissistic!"

Du Xiaojuan pretended to be light-hearted, and she also said with a smile:

"If you're really afraid, then let Erhai go back to the county town to connect with Chunsheng at that time. Would she specially run to Guangzhou to bite you?"

After Du Xiaojuan said this, Wang Erhai and the other two employees in the back seat couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wang Dashan also laughed embarrassedly:

"What you said is also reasonable; I guess I was thinking too much..."

Soon, the small sedan returned to Shanggou Village.

The old house at home had already been demolished; Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan now lived at the old site of the small shop at the village entrance. There was only one bedroom and one living room here, and the bedroom was temporarily partitioned.

There was simply no place for Wang Dashan, Wang Erhai, Du Xiaojuan, and others to stay.

So after sitting at home for a while, the few people decided to return to Guangzhou.

Before leaving, Wang Dashan took out three hundred thousand:

"Dad, Mom, this is for building a house for you. I said before I'd give it before the Winter Solstice. I'm afraid I'll be busy then, so I'm giving it to you now."

Seeing Wang Dashan take the initiative to give money, Wang Zhanggen was delighted:

"My boy has become sensible indeed. Truly worthy of being my Wang Zhanggen's son!"

Wang Zhanggen accepted the money with a clear conscience.

But Li Xiulan hurriedly snatched it over and then handed it back to Wang Dashan. She looked full of worry:

"Dashan, your dad was hospitalized before and you already gave a sum of money. It hasn't been long since then, and now you're giving so much again. Is your company short on money? Keep this money for yourself..."

Wang Dashan laughed heartily and pushed the money back to his mother:

"Mom, rest assured. Your son here has made quite a lot of money now. This bit of money is nothing!"

Actually, this money wasn't Wang Dashan's own at all; it was given by Du Xiaojuan.

Du Xiaojuan gave Wang Dashan this three hundred thousand, asking him to take it home, with the purpose of making Wang Dashan stop always thinking about building a new house at home, not putting so much pressure on himself, so he could focus on work.

Originally Wang Dashan wanted to tell his parents the money was from Du Xiaojuan, but Du Xiaojuan herself took the initiative to say not to mention her. She was afraid that if this got out, others would think Wang Dashan was eating her soft rice, which would be bad for Wang Dashan's reputation.

Seeing Du Xiaojuan being so considerate of him, Wang Dashan was moved to the point of almost crying at that moment.

This is also why today at Wang Xiaohua's university entrance celebration, facing Xiao Xueqing's excessive enthusiasm, he immediately drew a boundary and sincerely confessed everything to Du Xiaojuan.

Du Xiaojuan treated him so well; if he still didn't wholeheartedly treat Du Xiaojuan well, then he wouldn't be a man.

"Dashan, Xiao Hua got a 300,000 scholarship. Using that money to build a house is about enough. I'm just afraid your company needs money..."

Li Xiulan's face was full of worry, yet she still refused to accept this sum of money.

Compared to building a new house, she was more worried about her son's future.

She wasn't like Wang Zhanggen, who cared so much about face; to tell the truth, right now she even felt that as long as there was a place to live it was fine, as for whether it was good or bad, she completely didn't care.

"It's fine, Mom, my company has sufficient funds, you don't need to worry so much."

Wang Dashan comforted her.

Du Xiaojuan then spoke up with a smile:

"Auntie, you don't need to worry about Dashan, he's a grown adult now, he has his own plans."

Wang Erhai then said with a smile:

"Mom, stop pushing it away, can't you tell? Big Brother is anxious to marry Eldest Sister-in-law, marriage requires a new house, you and Dad take the money and hurry up and build the house, otherwise how can they get married? If they don't marry, how will they give you two elders a grandson!"

Upon hearing these words, Li Xiulan's face showed sudden realization:

"So that's how it is, well then that's great, we'll accept this money, in two days I'll go hire a few more workers, hurry up and get the house built!"

When it came to building a house, Li Xiulan didn't care too much.

But when it came to Wang Dashan's marriage, a big matter, then she perked up.

She had long been looking forward to holding a grandson!
