Gao Baoliang's revenge was just as straightforward.

With just a pack of cigarettes, he managed to win over the water truck driver, leaving Chen Hao and Lin Tao soaked to the bone.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning laughed so hard he almost fell over. It seems that when it comes to revenge, he still has to learn from Gao Baoliang!

Of course, that's a joke. Real revenge means attacking the other party's weak points.

Chen Hao's biggest pain point is probably how to gain a foothold in the capital.

The more he tried to work hard, the more Jiang Ning would try to trip him up.

They will probably never know that Jiang Ning had heard their bottom price before the bidding, which is why she was able to easily win the 009 plot of land by a difference of two million.

Soon, Fuqiang Company held another board meeting and unanimously passed a resolution to build a five-star hotel.

Luo Guangming instructed the design department to quickly begin work, conduct geological exploration of plot 009, and produce planning maps.

There are 20 acres of land there, which will not only be used to build a hotel, but also a commercial street, a large shopping mall, and a supermarket.

There might even be apartment buildings.

These all require careful planning in advance.

They can't just build whatever they want; the planning map needs to be reviewed by the urban planning department before subsequent work can proceed.

In short, once this piece of land is secured, a series of tasks will follow.

In addition to undertaking engineering projects, Luo Guangming also had to build hotels, making him extremely busy all of a sudden.

After Jiang Ning finished buying the land, he basically stopped getting involved in the affairs of Fuqiang Company, only occasionally attending board meetings.

Her main focus is still on import and export trade.

As soon as she got back to work, Ross called, asking her how she was going with her decision regarding the imported cars.

Jiang Ning then remembered that she had promised Ross she would give it a good consideration.

"I read your analysis report, and the prospects are indeed very good, with a business volume of several hundred million a year. Unfortunately, I just spent more than fifty million, and I really don't have any money on hand."

It was only then that she realized how little money she had.

In this era, business opportunities abound, and with her past life's experience, wealth should flow to her like water.

It's a pity that even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.

Ross chuckled: "This little thing is no problem for you. Just find a few more car manufacturers to cooperate with and have them provide the funding."

Jiang Ning felt that his suggestion wasn't impossible. Some of the cake would have to be shared, but it was better than nothing.

"Okay, I'll try to contact them."

Jiang Ning agreed. After hanging up the phone, she immediately called Wang Meizhu in.

As if she already knew, Wang Meizhu showed her the materials she had prepared.

“These car manufacturers are all interested in cooperating with foreign companies. Should we arrange a meeting?” Wang Meizhu asked after she finished reading.

Jiang Ning nodded, "That's good. Let's arrange individual meetings. I'll talk to them one by one."

Wang Meizhu, dressed in a proper business suit and high heels, went out to make the arrangements.

Just as Jiang Ning was reviewing the documents, the phone rang again. This time it was Wang Xiufen calling.

"Ningning, Lulu suddenly had a stomachache and was bleeding. I couldn't find Baoliang, so I had to call you..."

She spoke urgently and somewhat incoherently.

Jiang Ning took a breath and quickly said to her:

"Call a car right now and take her to the People's Hospital for emergency treatment. I'll be there soon. I'll also notify Gao Baoliang."

After hanging up the phone, she quickly slung her bag over her shoulder and headed outside.

When I passed by Wang Meizhu's office, I told her that I had to leave early because of an urgent matter and that I shouldn't arrange any dinner parties for that evening.

After leaving the house, she quickly hailed a taxi and headed to the People's Hospital.

Over there, after telling Ji Min to stay home and watch TV, Wang Xiufen helped Yang Lu into a taxi.

When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Ning had just arrived as well. She quickly registered for an emergency room appointment and helped Yang Lu into the emergency room.

After a preliminary examination, the emergency room doctor concluded...

"These are symptoms of threatened miscarriage. You should go to the OB-GYN as soon as possible."

Yang Lu was stunned. How could she be pregnant?

Because of the family planning policy, they usually take good care of themselves!

There was no time to think about it anymore, and Jiang Ning helped her to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

The OB-GYN had her do blood tests and an ultrasound, and clearly told her that she was pregnant and had been pregnant for more than two months.

This bleeding isn't a serious problem; some medication should be enough to keep the pregnancy going.

Wang Xiufen laughed when she heard that.

"Oh my, this is great news! Binbin is going to have a little sister!"

Yang Lu's cheeks flushed red, and she seemed somewhat at a loss.

"With family planning policies so strict, will the neighborhood committee force me to have an abortion?"

Jiang Ning immediately denied it.

"Don't scare yourself. At most, you'll have to pay a small fine for having a second child. Since you're not working, the fine shouldn't be much, and you'll definitely be able to keep the baby."

She then relaxed.

After all, it was a life, and she really wanted to keep her.

However, for safety reasons, the doctor advised her to stay in bed for a month to protect the pregnancy.

When Gao Baoliang got home, he also rushed back after hearing the news. He was so happy to hear that his wife was pregnant again that he almost picked her up and spun her around.

Yang Lu stopped him in time.

"Don't touch me, I need to stay in bed for a month! We were so stupid, we didn't even know we were pregnant. I even washed the sheets and blankets today. I guess I was just exhausted, that's why I had these signs of miscarriage."

Gao Baoliang quickly and gently helped her to the bed and laid her down.

"Don't worry, I won't go anywhere for the next month. I'll stay home and take care of you."
