The high-profile leadership transition lasted for more than a month, with discussions about the new leaders everywhere. A series of new directives followed. Amidst the nationwide changes in officials of all ranks, the development policy of a county attached to a third-tier city in the north seemed insignificant in the midst of it all.

Tang Xiaoxiao took this matter very seriously. She used her connections and her memories from her previous life to determine the location of the most suitable plot of land in Bin City for building a shopping center, and then kept a close eye on it.

In early June, accurate news finally came out: the developer who acquired the land was surnamed Lin.

Tang Xiaoxiao let out a long breath.

She didn't call He Zhan to ask why. Regardless of the reason, whether he gave up voluntarily or was snatched away by someone else, missing out on this poisoned cake was a good thing.

In fact, He Zhan gave up on his own initiative.

He couldn't explain why, but after Tang Xiaoxiao's advice during the Spring Festival, he would always think of what she said after he went back home.

At the time, he didn't take it seriously. Although his sister-in-law was very capable, she couldn't possibly know everything. She was getting on in years, and she had only really been a force to be reckoned with in the business world for the past two years. In terms of experience and insight, He Zhan really didn't think he was inferior to Tang Xiaoxiao.

But the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, especially after he went back to the old house and analyzed Tang Xiaoxiao's rise to power with Grandpa He. Both of them found it unbelievable.

It seems like she's taking steady steps, but business is never smooth sailing, especially since Tang Xiaoxiao had no prior experience and started her business right after graduating from university.

Whether choosing a development path, finding partners, or investing in and developing projects, she has never made a mistake. It is quite unusual for a young woman who started from scratch and had no one to guide her to have such a smooth journey.

Perhaps it's true that she was born with a gift from God; she was just luckier than others. But luck is also a kind of ability.

All the projects she favored became huge hits, so... why did she so explicitly point out the ones she didn't have a good outlook on?

Although nothing is absolute, He Zhan had a feeling that listening to his sister-in-law was the right thing to do.

Once such a thought arose, it was unstoppable, especially when he remembered the century-old ginseng and lingzhi that he still treasured in his own safe.

This sister-in-law is quite mysterious...

There are plenty of investment opportunities, and missing this one wouldn't be a big loss. He's waited so many years, so one more won't hurt. So, as the bidding process approached, He Zhan made up his mind and told his staff to abandon the project completely.

......

Tang Xiaoxiao had no idea how much internal struggle He Zhan went through.

Even Tang Xinxin didn't know. He Zhan was already troubled enough; there was no need to make his beloved wife worry about such a thing.

An'an and Nao Nao were already able to roll over, because Tang Xiaoxiao often mixed spiritual spring water into their bottles to feed them. The two little ones grew faster than ordinary babies. Their two almost identical little faces were just like Tang Xiaoxiao's, exquisite and beautiful beyond words. They were also very strong, with particularly powerful little arms and legs.

So the couple felt they could take them on a long trip.

Han Shiping and Guo Mingli returned to D City after the full moon celebration. It had been more than three months since they had seen their two little grandchildren, and they missed them terribly.

Tang Xiaoxiao also felt that she had been staying at home for a while and wanted to go out for a change of scenery, so she decided early on to take this opportunity to stay in D City for a few days.
