Chapter 166: Warning

Since the feasibility was confirmed, Wan Ling quickly, based on Chen Hong's guidance, wrote the feasibility report on the Long-term Rental.

Holding this report, Wan Ling nervously came to Director Wang's door.

She hesitated for a long time, and still didn't dare to knock.

Chen Hong, watching anxiously from the side, walked over and knocked for her, then left.

Seeing this, Wan Ling became both anxious and flustered.

You killed me, you killed me.

"Please come in."

Director Wang heard the knocking and called for the person to come in.

Wan Ling heard the voice, also knew she couldn't hide, pushed the door and entered.

Director Wang saw it was Wan Ling, was stunned for a moment, then greeted.

"Wan Ling, what's up?"

Wan Ling trembled, stammered, and handed over the project proposal.

"That, that… Director… I… I… I have… there is… a… project… I want… you… you to look at."

Director Wang, seeing her so nervous, comforted.

"Don't be nervous, being able to actively participate in Jiedao development is a great thing; aside from Chen Hong, you're the bravest person."

Wan Ling, hearing that, felt relieved, hurriedly put down the project proposal; Director Wang took it and began to look.

The waiting was agonizing; Wan Ling's heart was filled with anxiety.

Director Wang, however, the more he looked, the more familiar it became; the approach of this project, how could it look more and more like Yang Qing's handiwork?

She lifted her head and glanced at Wan Ling, thinking of something.

"Wan Ling, I still need to think this over carefully; can I give you a reply later?"

Wan Ling, nervously at a loss, felt a bit better upon hearing that.

"Can… can… be…"

Director Wang gave a slight smile.

"Alright, then you go back first; I'll think it over."

Wan Ling hurriedly said.

"Then I'll be going."

Then she fled, as if escaping.

Director Wang saw this, smiled a bit, then worried whether this girl could get the job done.

Wan Ling quickly met up with Chen Hong; Chen Hong asked about what happened, then went back to work.

Not long after, Chen Hong was summoned by Director Wang.

Upon entering, Chen Hong saw the project proposal on the desk.

She greeted, feeling a bit guilty.

"Auntie Wang, you called me?"

Director Wang pointed at the project proposal on the desk.

"Is this what you taught Wan Ling?"

Chen Hong replied awkwardly.

"She asked me to give her ideas; we discussed it together."

Director Wang snorted.

"This is Yang Qing's idea, right?"

"Ah! Auntie Wang, how did you know?"

As soon as Chen Hong spoke, she realized she had let the secret slip.

"This is our idea; I also consulted Yang Qing, and he refined it for us."

Director Wang rubbed his brow, speaking with a slight headache.

"Can't he just stay out of trouble?"

"Can't things be fine as they are?"

"Don't keep stirring up these troublemaking tricks."

Chen Hong felt this time things were going to go bad.

"I understand, Auntie Wang; I'll go tell him."

Then she pointed at the project on the desk.

"Is this project not doable anymore?"

She felt Wan Ling would be heartbroken.

Director Wang also felt uneasy.

The key issue lies here; Yang Qing's ideas always hit their pain points.

Family farms solve disaster relief issues; the breeding center was proposed under the banner of eliminating the four pests; the agricultural technology station is an innovative agricultural trial; I've heard that in Eastern Europe they're also trying this, putting them at the forefront of the world.

Now comes another Long-term Rental project, addressing the pain point of population swelling.

Although due to the implementation of workforce streamlining, the housing shortage problem has been temporarily alleviated.

However, Hongxing Jiedao itself is in a densely populated area; they basically haven't placed a few workers who moved to the city after 1958.

Housing demand remains strong.

So, they still really need this project.

Moreover, looking long-term, the demand for this will only grow larger.

To do or not to do?

From her personal point of view, during her term, the housing issue can be endured and then pass; not doing it is fine, not doing is good.

From the Jiedao's perspective, this matter should be dealt with early rather than delayed; otherwise, within five years, the housing problem will become the main issue the Jiedao has to face.

Thinking about this, Director Wang's heart felt even more torn.

Seeing Chen Hong ask, she replied in an annoyed tone.

"Let me think and then speak; go on, tell Yang Qing not to stir up trouble for me again—I'll personally go deal with him."

Chen Hong left Aunt Wang's door, her heart still thumping.

This time Aunt Wang was really angry.

Even if she's angry, as long as my husband brings benefit to the Jiedao, out of this little bit of affection you won't feel embarrassed to make things difficult for him anymore.

Chen Hong left the Jiedao office and arrived at the Taming Center.

Now the Taming Center, besides cats, has added some dogs.

At the same time, because they have money, they hired a few more people to help.

They all have expertise in this area.

Chen Hong looked around; everything was developing according to Yang Qing's plan, slowly but making progress every day.

One day it will astonish everyone.

Seeing there was nothing urgent, she returned home.

Yang Qing did not go out today.

Now it's the height of summer heat; the heat makes him not want to go out, mainly because his wife earns too much money, so his motivation suddenly isn't as strong.

When Chen Hong returned, she happened to see Yang Qing fussing with stamps.

Sheet after sheet, it's already a thick stack.

Yang Qing ultimately still didn't let go of the stamps.

If he really can't escape from sixty-six years ago, these things would be left as the family's inheritance for his wife and children.

By then, to avoid implicating them and cutting ties with them, this would be the only thing he could leave them.

After living with Chen Hong for so long, he too has found his conscience; he no longer just thinks of using Chen Hong to ward off disaster, but starts considering her future.

Chen Hong didn't know his thoughts, and still thought he was wasting money.

"Why buy so many stamps? We can't possibly use them all."

Yang Qing sealed them layer by layer with oil paper, then stuffed them into the hidden compartment of the bunk bed.

"This is the marriage fund I'm preparing for the child."

"When he comes of age, these stamps will be valuable."

"Not mentioning great wealth and honor, marrying a wife is still no problem."

Chen Hong said doubtfully.

"Really? Is it that valuable?"

"Of course it's real."

"When new stamps come out in the future, you buy a set and store them, especially misprints and those with special significance."

"Just buy them; you'll definitely not be wrong."

Stamps from ten years ago are the ones that are valuable; 'All the Land Red' is among the most famous high-value stamps.

Producing a few editions can outweigh a lifetime of struggle for future generations.

Chen Hong didn't understand these things and didn't want to; when Yang Qing said these words, it made Chen Hong feel awkward.

"Today Aunt Wang saw the Long-term Rental and gave me a scolding."

"She also told me to tell you, don't stir up trouble anymore, otherwise she'll come deal with you."

Yang Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Ah, I also don't want to say it."

"It's as if I've gained some benefit."

While saying that, Yang Qing's heart trembled.

This shows that the higher-ups have settled the matter regarding him.

That is, they don't want to let him mess around anymore.
