Chapter 220: The Jia Zhang Clan Is Up to Mischief Again

After Yang Qing left, Director Wang looked at Xu Huizhen and then asked solemnly.

"Huizhen, do you think what he said is true or false?"

Xu Huizhen shook her head.

"Auntie, I can't take credit for this idea; he's the one I brought here."

"But it's unlikely he's trying to trick us!"

"Ah, how so?"

Director Wang asked doubtfully.

Xu Huizhen took a deep breath.

"Because the underwear factory that Chen Xueru set up was his idea."

"You don't need me to say how profitable the underwear factory is now."

"With such huge profits, he could easily give them up; Auntie, do you think a Long-term Rental is worth him putting in all this effort?"

"This persuasiveness is still quite strong."

"The underwear factory is his idea?"

Xu Huizhen nodded.

"Certainly, not only Chen Xueru's underwear factory, but also the shelf vegetables and mushrooms I grow are his ideas."

"In Hongxing Jiedao, everything that's been done behind the scenes is also his idea."

"The auntie was so shocked she instinctively slapped her own leg."

"He's a talent."

"Xu Huizhen then added fuel to the fire."

"Besides that, I heard he didn't even know how to read before; starting self-study last year, he's almost finished high school knowledge now."

"In Hongxing Jiedao, he's called a genius."

"Auntie, competing against someone like him, we're afraid we'll lose badly."

"By then, we might have to hand over all our Jiedao's business and beg him to develop it."

"Just as he said, in the Jiedao he cooperates with, we can completely solve Jingcheng's housing demand."

"Then, it will inevitably cause population loss in our Jiedao."

"With fewer people, many businesses will become difficult."

"By then, one side will be bustling, the other side desolate."

"This comparison will make the gap clear."

"Business activity likes to cluster; once this gap appears, the desolate side will become even more desolate, the bustling side even more bustling."

"She openly said she wouldn't get involved in Yang Qing's affairs, but saying these words directly pushed Director Wang toward Yang Qing."

"Director Wang is a bit old and doesn't understand all the twists and turns; after being startled by Yang Qing and Xu Huizhen, she dares not make a decision lightly."

"She follows the principle of reporting upward when she can't figure things out."

"She went straight to her superiors."

"The district of Zhengyang Gate and Hongxing Jiedao are not the same district."

"The district chief has long envied Hongxing Jiedao."

"If it weren't for the sudden appearance of an underwear factory, he would have gone to lure Director Wang over."

"As for Yang Qing, this oddball, he knows nothing about it."

"The confidentiality work upstairs is still done very well."

"After hearing Director Wang's report, he finally understood why Hongxing Jiedao was so special: it was because someone like this was hidden inside."

"From the level of secrecy, this person must not be ordinary; otherwise, he wouldn't be unaware."

"After all, he's also an official in Jingcheng."

"I think we can do this; if we don't, other Jiedao in their district will."

"If they do this across the whole district, it will indeed cause our population loss."

"I've also heard about the Long-term Rental project; in fact, the whole Jingcheng is now watching this project."

"Because she solved a major problem in Jingcheng: the housing shortage."

"Now, due to nationwide disasters, neither the government nor enterprises have money for housing construction."

"Moreover, judging by the current national situation, the financial difficulties will last at least three to year-year."

"That means at least five years later, there might be a chance to increase housing construction."

"If anything else happens during that period, this timeline might be pushed back even further."

"So the Long-term Rental project, which uses private funds to build housing, is supported not only by the district but also by Jingcheng."

"Even in the future, this project will be promoted nationwide."

"Now, if we can hop on this bandwagon, it should be all benefit and no harm."

"After hearing the district chief say that, Director Wang also felt a huge weight lift off her heart."

"Then I'll go back and discuss this with him."

"The district chief nodded."

"Go ahead; the sooner the better."

"The next day, Xu Huizhen went to find Yang Qing to discuss cooperation."

"Yang Qing ran to the Jiedao trying to bring Director Wang on board."

"As it turned out, she wasn't there, and she hadn't come to work for two days."

"Yang Qing gritted his teeth, decided to settle things himself, anyway Director Wang said as long as he could negotiate well, everything would be fine."

They then took those words seriously.

In the following days, Yang Qing brought Wan Lei Gensheng, and the Zhengyangmen Street Office into intense negotiations.

Finally, they directly absorbed Zhengyangmen's construction team; afterwards, Xu Huizhen also gained an additional identity, becoming a member of the Zhengyangmen Street Office Long-term Rental project.

This was something Yang Qing had not anticipated.

Lei Gensheng selected some veteran workers from the Zhengyangmen Street Office construction team and pulled them into his own renovation crew, while the rest were dumped into the Hongxing Jiedao construction team.

These people had no complaints; they had long heard of the great reputation of the Hongxing Jiedao construction team.

In these times, others were starving one meal and full the next, while they ate till they were stuffed every day—you say they couldn't be envious?

After Zhengyangmen Street Office joined, Yang Qing again brought Wan Ling and Xu Huizhen to start ground promotion.

They mainly promoted the Long-term Rental project, as well as the renovation project.

Lei Gensheng, who had been full of complaints, now settled down after seeing Yang Qing's efforts.

You should know that Hongxing Jiedao still has a hundred Long-term Rental units to be renovated in the coming months.

Adding Zhengyangmen's project, their renovation team will be busy enough to last through the year.

Having absorbed Zhengyangmen Street Office, Yang Qing also did not blindly expand.

He proceeded steadily, continuing to raise the profile of the Long-term Rental project.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, May arrived.

Amid Liu Shumin's roar, Sha Zhu gained a girlfriend.

And Chen Hong's belly began to show pregnancy.

During this period, Jia Zhangshi's heart, which had calmed down because of the new house, began to stir again.

She felt uneasy seeing Qin Huairu, uneasy seeing Liu Shumin, and uneasy seeing Chen Hong.

Seeing Yang Qing made her even more uneasy.

And yet, the days of those who made her uneasy kept getting better.

Especially Qin Huairu, who lived in such a fine house, actually showed no reaction at all.

Day after day, they still gave her a cold face.

These people all deserve to die—why are they living so well? On what basis?

The flames of hatred scorched her inner self, distorting her appearance.

Today she suddenly started to find fault with Qin Huairu and Yan Yuese.

"Huairu, look, the locust flower—is it really our Jia Family's child? If not, I'll continue to bring her up."

Qin Huairu, speaking honestly, felt a bit dazed; she didn't know what scheme her mother-in-law was cooking up again, but there was certainly nothing good about it.

"No need, Yi Da Ma is handling it just fine."

She wasn't at ease with that old woman; what if she sold her own child?

Jia Zhangshi continued.

"How about Xiao Dang comes to my place for lunch today?"

Qin Huairu still shook her head.

"Mom, really not needed; Yi Da Ma is taking care of it."

Once again rejected, Jia Zhangshi's face suddenly changed.

"Yi Da Ma, Yi Da Ma, do you still know she is Yi Da Ma?"

"She's not your mother; why should our Jia Family's child be let her bring?"

"Qin Huairu, are you trying to sell our Jia Family's flesh and blood to the Yi family?"

"I tell you, I disagree."

"Child, you must give him back to me."

Qin Huairu couldn't be bothered to deal with her, she simply went into the room and shut the door.

Jia Zhangshi shouted abuse outside the door.

"Qin Huairu, you damned calamity, you killed my son and still want to sell my Jia Family's flesh and blood."

"I tell you, as long as I'm alive for one day, you won't get away with it."

"You of the Yi family, come out, control your women, and keep them away from my granddaughter."

"I tell you, if you keep scheming against my granddaughter, I'll fight you to the end."

The people in the courtyard didn't know what madness Jia Zhangshi had taken, why she suddenly wanted to raise a child?

Wasn't it her who didn't want a child back then?
