After the Spring Festival, students gradually returned to school, with the eldest sister, Chen Chunhua, being the first to set off.
"Big sister, have you learned to drive yet?" Chen Xihua asked as she dropped her older sister off at the bus stop, only to remember something else: she really wanted to drive herself, but she wasn't old enough. She decided to buy a car for her sister first, so it would be convenient for them to go to the provincial capital during the summer vacation.
"Xiao Wu, I registered last year and passed the written test, but I failed the road test the first time. I'll retake it in May."
When Chen Chunhua answered, she looked a little embarrassed. She had passed the written test with a high score, but during the road test, she became nervous and anxious as soon as she got in the car. Especially when reversing into the parking space, she almost crashed into the guardrail.
"It's okay, sister. Just practice driving more on the weekend and don't be too nervous. There's an instructor with you anyway." Chen Xihua knew there was no shortcut to getting a driver's license.
Some girls are very relaxed and bold, but some girls do have psychological issues; they are more likely to fail the test when they get nervous. And the test at this time is for manual transmission vehicles.
In her previous life, when Chen Xihua took her driving test, although there was an automatic transmission option available, she chose the manual transmission. She was able to drive all kinds of small cars, off-road sports cars, and so on.
Two minutes later, the bus arrived. After Chen Chunhua boarded the bus, Chen Xihua led Chen Baohua home slowly.
My third and fourth sisters are very sensitive to the cold, especially in the south these days after the Spring Festival, when it's very damp and cold. They've already run back to their family's neighborhood.
"Fifth sister, when I grow up, I'll learn to drive and be your driver, just for you." Chen Baohua suddenly had a new goal, and finally nodded seriously, "Yes, that's it."
I can follow my fifth sister; wherever she goes, I can go too.
"Xiao Liu, you'll be learning to drive in the future, but I'll learn too, so you don't need to be my driver."
"Stop thinking about all that stuff. You only have one semester left before you have to go to junior high. If you don't get into the county's top high school, well..." Chen Xihua flicked his forehead with her finger.
"Fifth sister, who are you underestimating? Even if I don't come back first, I can still get second or third place." Chen Baohua rolled his eyes. He was currently the first in his class, but there were many primary schools in the county, and he didn't dare to boast that he would definitely be number one.
"Well, it's up to you then." Chen Xihua encouraged him with a smile, not finding Chen Xiaoliu arrogant or conceited at all. He wasn't usually like this; he only acted a little proud in front of her.
On the morning of the day after the Lantern Festival, Chen Xihua went to the office of Fanghua Garment Factory and sat there for half an hour. She wanted to see if Director Zhang and Sister Xiaolan had encountered any problems or had anything to say to her, as she was going back to Jiang City for class that afternoon.
"Happy New Year, Boss Xiao Wu."
Around 7 a.m., a boss named Lei called your office, saying he had something urgent to discuss with you. Zhang Xiaolan, who had just come up from the production workshop, was pleasantly surprised to see the boss's office door open and Xiao Wu, the younger sister, engrossed in designing clothes. She quickly informed him.
Zhang Xiaolan had been thinking that now that she was done with the work in the workshop, she would quickly ride her bicycle to the family quarters to tell Chen Xihua.
"Happy New Year, Sister Xiaolan! Okay, I understand, thank you." Chen Xihua looked up and smiled slightly, but her heart skipped a beat. It shouldn't be about Lei Tinghaoxuan, so it must be...
Chen Xihua first tidied up and put away the drawings that she had just basically finished. Then she stretched her arms and back, picked up the telephone receiver on her right, and slowly pressed the call button.
Beep...beep...
"Boss Xiao Wu, is that you?" Boss Lei's voice sounded a little hurried on the phone.
"It's me, Boss Lei, Happy New Year!" Although Chen Xihua could hear the other party's anxiety, she still softened her tone and said in a cheerful manner.
Mr. Lei, sitting across from her, chuckled to himself, perhaps because he heard Chen Xihua's unhurried, composed demeanor. He thought to himself that he, a man in his forties, was not as capable as a young girl.
However, Boss Lei admired Chen Xihua even more.
"Boss Xiao Wu, before the New Year, you asked me to help you buy land in Pingtang County, and I also bought a piece myself."
"However, a few days ago, someone from Jiang City contacted me, hoping I could reach you through them, and ask us to resell those two plots of land." Boss Lei had regained his composure by now, but his voice was still somewhat grave.
"Hmm, it's those richest business owners in Jiang City, right? Boss Lei, do you know why?" Chen Xihua had just guessed that it was probably related to her land purchase before the new year.
Two days after the company's summary meeting, Chen Xihua asked Boss Lei for help to buy a 2,500-square-meter piece of wasteland in the suburbs of Pingtang County.
"Yes, the Sun family and the Zhong family in Jiang City. Both of them started in the construction industry in Jiang City. The newly built large-scale commercial housing projects in Jiang City are owned by these two families."
I heard some news, and I also asked some friends in the provincial capital, that the Huo family, the richest family in Beijing, spent 200 million yuan before the Lunar New Year to win the bid for the tourism development and usage rights of Pingtang County.
The Sun family has a distant cousin who seems to work as a junior staff member in the city planning bureau in Beijing.
They must have known some inside information beforehand. The Sun and Zhong families also had their eyes on the land we bought, and land in Pingtang County is hard to buy now. Luckily, we bought it a few days in advance.
However, these two families approached me and offered 500 yuan per square meter. The Sun family was a bit tough, saying that if we didn't sell, they would prevent us from building houses and the land would become wasteland. This was the main worry for Boss Lei.
“Boss Lei, I definitely won’t sell, and I suggest you don’t either. Let’s leave them alone for now. You shouldn’t stay in the county for a while; go back to the provincial capital. Building the house should be a year or two away.” Chen Xihua was a little worried at first, but now that Boss Lei said it was being developed by the Huo family, she had no more concerns.
Luckily, she acted a few days early; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't be able to buy it now. Chen Xihua chose a great location, just outside the southwestern suburbs of Pingtang County, only two or three kilometers from the county seat, and backed by a large mountain. Her plan was to buy it and keep it for a few years, then build tourist hotels and guesthouses after the millennium.
Chen Xihua had already thought of a name for the company: Shengjing, Fanhua, and Jinghua Tourism Company. She had also asked her older sister to register the company, but it hadn't been approved yet.
The land cost 400 yuan per square meter, cheaper than in the county center, totaling one million yuan. Meanwhile, in the provincial capital, Director Yang went back for a few days and helped her buy an 800-square-meter plot of land. Because it was closer to Yun City, it cost 1,200 yuan per square meter, totaling over 970,000 yuan.
Chen Xihua's company now has less than one million yuan in its books, which is reserved for the company's working capital.
"Boss Xiao Wu, are we sure we shouldn't get involved with the Sun and Zhong families?" Boss Lei was still a little worried, afraid that the two families would cause trouble for his company or Lei Ting Hao Xuan.
