Gu Yingying's face gradually wrinkled.

Something seems off.

After thinking about it, Ye Yun felt it made sense and nodded, "Okay, then I agree."

This time, Qin Zheng was utterly shocked.

Qin Zheng stared at her in astonishment, his eyes wide. "Wife, you're not kidding, are you?"

Ye Yun shrugged, her tone innocent: "A pair of shorts that cost less than two cents to make is worth 21,800 yuan. It's a profit no matter how you look at it, that's what Gu Jin said!"

Qin Zheng, "..."

That makes so much sense that he had no rebuttal.

Gu Ying, standing to the side, looked at Ye Yun's calm expression, her delicate face scrunched up in a frown, wondering whether Ye Yun had gained or lost.

She was clearly trying to provoke Ye Yun.

But why did Ye Yun accept it so readily, even as if she were taking advantage of her?

...

Let's get right to it.

Qin Zheng and Gu Jin have always been action-oriented.

Within half a month, they found a suitable location: an abandoned factory area in the eastern part of the provincial capital.

That place was originally a state-owned farm, which housed various kinds of factories, including a machinery factory, a winery, and so on.

Later, with policy reforms, more talented people emerged in big cities, and private enterprises sprang up everywhere. These small state-owned factories gradually declined and eventually dissolved.

The land then became wasteland.

This year, the land use rights were released by the relevant departments, and Qin Zheng and Gu Jin, having heard the news, promptly seized the opportunity to acquire it.

Next came preparing building materials and hiring a suitable construction team.

It's not that I can't afford it in the city; the provincial capital offers better value for money.

Jinqiao County has many factories, including garment factories, textile factories, machinery factories, and furniture factories. Even the city proper has to give way to this county. Therefore, Gu Jin and Qin Zheng never included the city proper in their business plans.

Furthermore, the few remaining plots of land available for development in the city have already been occupied by Lao Gao.

They and Lao Gao are essentially the same company. They earn the same amount as Lao Gao, so there's no need for them to start a separate business and compete with Lao Gao for business.

So they went directly to the provincial capital.

Policy developments have made the current era a goldmine; whoever gets to pick it up will have to act the fastest.

Qin Zheng has been busy traveling between the county town and the provincial capital recently.

He would get up and leave before dawn, but no matter how late it was, even if it was under the stars and moon, he would rush back to the garment factory just to be with Ye Yun.

According to him, business is secondary; staying with his wife is the most important thing.

What does it matter if he has to work a little harder than being able to sleep with his wife every night?
