Hu Zhenzhen transmigrated into a book and became the vicious stepmother of the male lead, a movie star. In the original story, she became a widow the day after marrying the male lead's father. ...
Chapter 8
[Congratulations on discovering your second-stage goal: the richest mom in school!]
Hu Zhenzhen's expression remained unchanged, as if she was listening attentively to Jiang Xin's introduction of the school.
When she received the title of "Mother of the Most Extravagant Family in the Funeral Hall," she had some doubts. Now, Little Golden Egg's words seem to confirm her previous suspicions.
The main quest was related to her life, so Hu Zhenzhen naturally took it seriously.
Now that we have a clue, the first step is to strengthen our connection with the school.
"The parent-teacher meeting is next Thursday, right?"
Hu Zhenzhen confirmed with Jiang Xin, "Will they be discussing the supervisory committee at the meeting?"
Jiang Xin looked somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected her to know this.
"That's right. Sometimes it's difficult for the school to take care of everything, so please elect a representative to supervise us. Each class will elect a supervisor. If any problems are found, you can report them directly to the principal."
This is a special case for this school.
After all, half of the students come from wealthy families, so they are more concerned about their children's situation at school.
Hu Zhenzhen realized this was a good opportunity.
What qualifications are required for parent representatives?
Jiang Xin's expression became somewhat subtle. She looked at the milk tea in her hand and decided to tell the truth.
"As you know about the school's situation, the parent oversight association was formed spontaneously, so the parents have to bear the costs themselves, and it also needs to be convincing and trusted by other parents."
The first condition can be met by parents who have more money.
It's not easy to win people's hearts.
However, it wasn't impossible; Hu Zhenzhen had a plan in mind.
Primary school students have fewer classes and usually finish school around 3 p.m.
Hu Zhenzhen simply ate out and booked a beauty treatment, waiting for Jiang Chen to get out of school.
Lying in the beauty salon with her eyes closed, Hu Zhenzhen's mind was still racing, as she began to think about how to complete the second stage of the main quest.
Of course, the parent-child tasks also need to be completed, otherwise, with only one million in hand, nothing can be accomplished.
[Xiao Jin, what's the next parent-child task?]
[Host, the reward for getting the male lead to introduce you to others is ten million.]
Ten million is exactly what Hu Zhenzhen needs now. To gain influence among parents, in addition to having money in public, she also needs sufficient reputation and business support.
Hu Zhenzhen is now an empty shell, and she still needs to use this money to arm herself.
"Miss, let me apply a warm compress to your eyes now. Please relax your eyes."
The beauty salon staff spoke very gently. Hu Zhenzhen hummed in response and suddenly remembered a good business that could bring women closer together.
[Xiao Jin, I still have two chances to win the prize, right?]
The little golden egg thoughtfully opened the lottery interface directly. [Yes, host, would you like to participate in the lottery now?]
Hu Zhenzhen subconsciously pressed the lottery button, and the huge lottery draw machine spun rapidly.
[Ding ding ding ding~ Congratulations! You've won the toilet gift pack!]
restroom?
How can there be such a strange thing?
Hu Zhenzhen almost opened her eyes, but fortunately the staff reminded her in time, "Please relax, guest, and don't open your eyes."
She then remembered that she was still wearing an eye mask and calmed down again.
[Xiao Jin, what's the toilet gift pack?]
Xiao Jin unfolded the gift package details for her: "All the toilets on the main street in downtown S will be yours; you can decorate and arrange their locations as you wish."
No, why would she need so many public toilets?
Hu Zhenzhen was at her wits' end. "Aren't these things usually funded directly by the government for urban planning?"
"That's right," Little Golden Egg nodded seriously, displaying a contract. "So please sign this contract, host. That way, you'll become the biggest investor in S City's public toilet expansion plan!"
Despite being called an investment, building public toilets, a non-profit structure, seems more like a charitable activity aimed at cultivating good relations with the government.
Hu Zhenzhen carefully examined the contract, signed her name, and asked curiously.
Don't these kinds of things usually require several meetings in person to make a decision?
[Please rest assured, host. The system follows all proper procedures. After you sign, official personnel will contact you to discuss cooperation.]
It turns out that it's not something you can get immediately.
Hu Zhenzhen seemed thoughtful, then asked again, "Did the Woshan Villa go through the same process?"
Explaining it to her one sentence at a time was too slow, so Xiao Jin simply pulled up the system records to show her.
[January 7th, purchased the villa. Chen Kai and his team were hired that same month; salaries and renovation costs were paid in full on January 15th. Renovation was completed on May 1st. On June 13th, the host drew the villa and officially moved in.]
Although she only won the villa in June, it had actually been waiting for its owner in the system since January.
Hu Zhenzhen then understood why Chen Kai didn't seem to be a stranger to her at all.
It turns out that in their memory, she had already been employed for half a year.
Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock at the door. "Excuse me, boss, some government officials are here to discuss investment."
Chen Kai's voice rang out.
"They arrived so quickly!" Hu Zhenzhen removed the two eye masks from her eyes. "Now? Where are they?"
"We're already at the Woshan Villa."
"Let's go back now," Hu Zhenzhen quickly tidied herself up and bought a VIP annual card so she could come back again in the future.
Today's driver was still Liu An. Knowing that the boss was in a hurry to get back, he stepped on the gas and made Hu Zhenzhen realize what it meant to be worth the money.
There was a swaying sensation when accelerating, but Liu An's driving skills were good enough that even when the car picked up speed, Hu Zhenzhen, who was sitting in the back seat, didn't feel any bumps.
In just fifteen minutes, they arrived back at Woshan Villa.
"Ms. Hu? Hello!"
As soon as she entered the hall, a young girl stood up.
"This is Section Chief Ma. Today, he would like to discuss with you in detail the matter of increasing the number of public toilets."
Only then did Section Chief Ma stand up and give Hu Zhenzhen a polite smile.
"I've been wanting to meet Miss Hu for a long time. Meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed young and promising. There are very few people your age who are paying attention to social issues these days."
"You're joking," Hu Zhenzhen said with an equally polite smile. "Helping with urban development is what we should do."
She sat down on the sofa. "Please have a seat, both of you."
Chen Kai had already prepared tea and snacks in the kitchen, and they were placed on the coffee table as soon as people sat down.
Before they returned, the new nanny also served the guests tea and refreshments.
Now Chen Kai has switched to higher-grade tea leaves and brewed a new pot of tea.
The aroma of tea wafted through the air, and in the air-conditioned room, one could faintly see white steam rising from the steam.
Both sides had smiles on their faces and were having a pleasant conversation.
Section Chief Ma looks to be only in his early thirties, a promising young man. His ambition is evident from the fact that he came to talk to Hu Zhenzhen about the public toilet issue in person today.
[Xiao Jin, do I need to pay for the public restroom?]
[Please rest assured, the first payment has already been deposited into your card, and the remaining balance will be deposited in five days.]
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhenzhen immediately made her promise.
"Don't worry, the money will be transferred to the designated account within a week."
He came all this way today, and all he wanted to get was this one sentence.
Hu Zhenzhen readily agreed. Section Chief Ma had discussed similar matters with other businessmen before, and was somewhat unaccustomed to it at first.
"You can get it done within a week? Ms. Hu, I think we can confirm the time again. As long as it's within a month, that's fine. But don't make any big promises, lest we run into trouble if we can't get paid later."
What he said was true, and he genuinely cared about Hu Zhenzhen.
Hu Zhenzhen understood his concerns. "Please rest assured, I won't make empty promises. I remember the contract states that a certain percentage of the project cost needs to be paid upfront."
Chen Kai thoughtfully unfolded the contract, found the part that Hu Zhenzhen wanted to see, and handed it to her.
"Oh right, it says here that the first payment is 800,000, right?"
She handed Chen Kai a card, saying, "Please transfer the money in here to Section Chief Ma first, and I will pay the balance within seven days."
In front of Section Chief Ma, the money was directly transferred to a designated account.
"Section Chief, have we received the money?"
The secretary who came with Section Chief Ma asked him incredulously in a low voice.
Before I came, the section chief clearly said that today would be a tough battle. This kind of public welfare investment is the hardest to get. Even if someone is willing to give it, it always takes half a year to settle the debt.
Their goal is to get investors to make their first payment within two weeks.
The money arrived in my account in just three hours.
Isn't this too fast?
She felt like she was dreaming.
Section Chief Ma, standing next to him, was equally incredulous, but as a leader, he was good at maintaining his composure and didn't let anyone see his surprise.
"Miss Hu is straightforward and efficient. She is the most capable person I have ever met. If there were more businesswomen like you, I would have no worries about the development of S City."
He said those words sincerely.
With the money in hand, the construction team can start work immediately, and the construction period will naturally be shortened.
The sooner the public toilet is completed and put into use, the more credit it will receive, and Ma Zhi is grateful for it.
In return for his kindness, knowing that Hu Zhenzhen was not a local, Section Chief Ma mentioned it again before leaving.
"Ms. Hu's money will be used for the construction of public toilets in the Central Park area. A new shopping mall will be built there soon. You can go and have a look if you are interested."
These words were ostensibly just polite remarks, meant to tell Hu Zhenzhen the location of the restroom.
But Hu Zhenzhen sensed a deeper meaning: the central park was going to be developed.
However, she has no money now, so even if she knew this news, it wouldn't be of any use.
No! It's not entirely useless.
Hu Zhenzhen turned her attention to parent-child tasks, but she was still short of money...
[Xiao Jin, I want to use my remaining lottery draw chance.]
The prize pool included the new shopping mall that Section Chief Ma had mentioned.
She got excited. The refresh of the prize pool was related to the new resources she came into contact with in real life, which made things even more exciting in the future.
Hu Zhenzhen went to wash her hands, hoping to get a free shopping mall.
After burning incense and calming her mind, Hu Zhenzhen made a sincere wish to all the gods and Buddhas before pressing the lottery button.
result……
[Ding ding ding ding~ Congratulations! You've won a library!]
Well, she really doesn't have much luck winning big prizes.
Hu Zhenzhen glanced reluctantly at the grand shopping mall in the picture book.
If she doesn't win the lottery, she'll work hard to earn money and win it sooner or later!
