At 35, Jiang Xiaoli went wild skiing with friends, only to die in an avalanche. She woke up to find herself back at 16, a year when her beloved mother was still alive!
Given a second chance, ...
Li Guizhi explained to her with a smile, "They're all in a hurry to grow up now. When they get older, they'll like pink and tender colors again."
Xu Feng couldn't help but pinch Jiang Xiaoli's chubby little face, "Little Pear is so cute like this, don't grow up, okay?"
Jiang Xiaoli covered her face and hid behind Xiao Muyu. "How can that be? If you don't grow up, won't you become the Child Granny of Tianshan Mountain?"
"Hahaha." Xu Feng laughed uncontrollably, wiping away her tears of laughter. "Little Pear, when you get to my age, you'll think that the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny isn't so bad after all."
The group inspected both houses inside and out, and Li Guizhi and Xu Feng took out paper and pen to write down the missing household items.
Jiang Xiaoli reminded, "Mom, why don't you get a set of the essentials for Zong Jiayu as well? He's been too busy to come and look at houses lately."
Li Guizhi took her hand and said, "Come on, take me to see the small ancestral house. I'll know where it is."
She turned to Xu Feng and said, "Jincheng, Feng'er, Xiaoyu, wait at home for a while. We'll go over there and take a look. We'll come back and call you in a bit."
Xu Feng stood up and waved her hand, "Let's go take a look together, and let Lao Xiao help us see what boys need. There might be some things we can't even think of."
The group arrived at Zong Jiayu's house together. His house was decorated mainly in gray tones, giving it a calm and sophisticated look.
As soon as Li Guizhi entered the house, she laughed and said, "This looks like a boy's house, look how dusty it is."
Xiao Jincheng had a slightly different opinion, "Sister-in-law, isn't this great? Xiao Zong looks very steady and not flashy at all."
Li Guizhi nodded, "That's true, Xiao Zong is indeed steady."
After noting down the household items Zong Jia and the house needed in his notebook, Xiao Jincheng treated the group to a simple meal.
After the meal, the two groups parted ways.
Li Guizhi and her friends went shopping, while Jiang Xiaoli and Xiao Jincheng came to meet some bosses.
The place Xiao Jincheng and the others had arranged to meet was a teahouse, decorated in a simple and elegant Chinese style, with pleasant incense burning.
Inside a private tea room, three middle-aged men were drinking tea and chatting.
Jiang Xiaoli sat down next to Xiao Jincheng.
Manager Han greeted her with a smile, "Little Pear is here. I specially ordered you some fruit and flower tea. Try it and see if you like it."
"Thank you, Uncle Han." She took the teacup and took a sip. The fruit and flower tea had a sweet and sour taste. "It's delicious."
A middle-aged man in a casual jacket patted Xiao Jincheng on the shoulder. "Jincheng, is this the little strategist you told Han Chen about?"
Xiao Jincheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, Brother Zhou, let me introduce you and Brother Wang. This is my niece, Jiang Xiaoli. You can just call her Xiaoli. Don't let her young age fool you, she's very smart, just like her father!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, revealing two cute dimples, "Hello, Uncle Zhou and Uncle Wang."
Another middle-aged man with slightly darker skin nodded slightly, "The young girl looks quite spirited."
After chatting for a while, Zhou Bang got down to business, "Xiao Li, could you tell us more about your shopping mall project?"
Jiang Xiaoli put down her teacup. "Okay, the commercial complex that I proposed to Uncle Xiao before refers to combining functions such as commerce, office, residence, hotel, exhibition, catering, conference, and entertainment in the city, and establishing a dynamic relationship of mutual dependence and mutual benefit among the various parts, thereby forming a multifunctional, efficient, complex and unified complex."
Simply put, it's about creating a "city within a city" that integrates retail, business offices, hotels and restaurants, comprehensive entertainment, and residential apartments.
Wang Xiong and Zhou Bangcai exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Wang Xiong tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times. "Xiao Li, do you know how difficult it is to build a 'city within a city' like this?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "Uncle Wang, of course, there are many difficulties involved, but our country is in a period of rapid development. Construction is happening everywhere in the city and the country. I think any project that is beneficial to the city's development must be supported by the government. What do you think?"
"Hahaha!" Han Chen laughed out loud. "Xiao Li is right! I think the leaders can calculate better than us how many jobs a commercial complex like this can provide and how much economic growth it can generate."
Zhou Bangcai nodded secretly, "If this project is successful, it will definitely be a landmark project in Xi'an."
Jiang Xiaoli took a sip of herbal tea. "Uncles, if this project is successfully implemented in Xi'an, then we can follow this model in other cities. Once we get started, then..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but it was enough to make the seasoned businessmen, who had been in business for many years, start to have all sorts of thoughts.
Wang Xiong slammed his hand on the table. "This is so exciting!"
He then frowned and shook his hand in the air, "Ouch, that really hurts."
"Hahaha." His action made everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Xiao Jincheng refilled their teacups. "I thought Xiao Lizi's idea had great potential, and I was thinking of inviting you guys to work on this project together. I wonder if you guys are interested?"
The three people present were silent for a while before Han Chen spoke first, "Old Xiao, we've been working together for so long, and I have great trust in your abilities and character. I'm willing to invest, but you know I still have three residential projects on hand, so I can't contribute too much."
Xiao Jincheng raised his teacup and clinked it with his. "Old Han, I understand. I'm very happy that you can join us."
Zhou Bangcai clasped his hands together and pondered for a long time before asking, "Jincheng, you've got your eye on that piece of land next to the stadium, right?"
Xiao Jincheng nodded, "Yes, there are two plots of land over there. One is smaller, only about ten mu, but I'm interested in the larger one on the east side, which is over 70 mu."
Zhou Bangcai immediately made the decision: "If we're going to do it, let's do it big. Let's acquire both plots of land. I'm investing in this project."
Wang Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "I'm investing too! But as you guys know, I lost a lot of money this year by following the trend to go to Hainan Province. I'll just follow you guys and get a little bit of the soup."
Xiao Jincheng grinned from ear to ear, "Brother Zhou, Brother Wang, Lao Han, with you guys joining me, my confidence has really soared! This project is definitely going to succeed!"
Several people raised their glasses in celebration, and Zhou Bang patted Xiao Jincheng on the shoulder, saying, "Jincheng, having a niece like Xiaoli is a blessing for you!"
Xiao Jincheng glanced at Jiang Xiaoli with a smile, "That's right, Xiaoli is truly my lucky star."
"Haha, you're absolutely right!" Han Chen laughed and replied, "Xiao Li is also my lucky star! Brother Zhou, you don't know, the interior design Xiao Li did for my new project is amazing! It completely blows away the high-priced designers in Hong Kong."
