Chapter 473 What's a little hardship?



The aroma of stewed chicken with potatoes was so enticing that even the soldiers in front of us came looking for it.

Although the cafeteria food included meat at every meal, it couldn't compare to Ye Yun's special cooking, especially since it was Gu Jin, an expert at stewing chicken, personally preparing it.

The soldier held a bowl in one hand and shoveled rice into his mouth with the other, saying between bites, "Oh my god, it's so delicious..."

He ate two bowls of rice.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng had originally planned to invite him over to eat together, so he steamed his rice.

Gu Yingying, on the other hand, stared at the soldier with a serious look in her eyes, her face furrowed, watching as he ate two bowls of potatoes and chicken all by himself.

The soldier put down his rice bowl, let out a burp, and said, "I'm done eating. I'm going back to the workshop now."

As soon as he left, Gu Yingying glared angrily at Ye Yun, her face stern as she asked, "Ye Yun, doesn't your factory provide meals for its workers?"

Ye Yun raised her eyebrows slightly.

Qin Zheng smiled and retorted, "Don't you dare wrong my wife."

Seeing that Qin Zheng was still protecting Ye Yun, Gu Yingying snorted angrily and went forward to shovel all the potatoes from Ye Yun's bowl into her own.

Ye Yun: "..."

Ye Yun was speechless with astonishment.

Are these girls so close that they can share food from the same bowl?

"By the way, Qin Zheng, what have you thought about what I told you last time?" Gu Jin's gaze fell casually on Qin Zheng as she asked.

Ye Yun snapped out of her daze and looked at Qin Zheng beside her with a puzzled expression.

Is there anything she doesn't know?

“Oh, Gu Jin wanted to get me to go it alone before. He calculated our savings and wanted to get a piece of land in the provincial capital, to do real estate.” Qin Zheng explained what Gu Jin had mentioned, and added, “I saw you were quite busy at that time, so I didn’t bother you with these little things.”

Ye Yun scoffed and waved her hand, saying, "It was just something I mentioned casually, nothing to worry about."

"So, what's your decision?"

Qin Zheng thought for two seconds after hearing her question, then nodded seriously: "I think it's feasible. Although we don't have a lot of funds right now, we can still acquire a small piece of land."

"When it comes to business, you always have to start small."

"The country is currently developing vigorously, and we must seize this opportunity. Land will not wait for anyone. If we do not take it, someone else will snatch it up first. We cannot wait until we have enough funds before we take action, otherwise the good land will be gone, and no matter how much money we have saved, it will be useless."

Ye Yun nodded.

Standing at the forefront of national development dividends, even a pig can fly.

So she supported Qin Zheng's decision without hesitation, patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead and do it. I'll invest in you. The garment factory is doing quite well. I'll give you my little savings later. You and Gu Jin can choose a good location."

"real?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jin's eyes lit up with a bright light.

Gu Yingying couldn't stand him sticking so close to Ye Yun, so she pouted and said, "Brother, I'll give you my little treasure too!"

Gu Jin immediately clicked her tongue, "Why are you making trouble? With your little savings, even mice would shake their heads. You might as well save it to buy yourself a couple of similar new outfits for the New Year."

"What did you say?"

Gu Yingying was also unwilling, and glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes: "Gu Jin! Don't look down on me, my little treasure trove is full!"

Gu Jin scoffed dismissively, "How much?"

Gu Yingying: "Twenty-one thousand eight!"

"How many?!"

Gu Jin's eyes widened suddenly, and she jumped up from the stool in shock, clutching the bowl.

Qin Zheng's brow twitched, "..."

Ye Yun's mouth opened slightly, "..."

Is this what a rich second generation looks like?

No, Gu Jin was also a rich second generation, but back then he was just as poor as Qin Zheng!

“I’m not like him at all. I get red envelopes during holidays, lucky money during Chinese New Year, and pocket money every month. My grandparents also help me out, and my parents always give me some money when they come back. I’m nothing like him.”

Gu Yingying glanced at Gu Jin with disdain, then pouted, "I only see my parents a few times a year or two, where am I supposed to get money from?"

"Sis, are you really my sister?"

Gu Jin looked Gu Yingying up and down in disbelief, over and over again, and asked with extreme resentment, "We were born of the same parents, so why is there such a big difference in how we are treated?"

"Who knows?"

Gu Ying rolled her eyes.

Gu Jin clicked his tongue, then instantly put on a grinning face. "Little sister, you just said you'd give your little savings to your brother, does that still stand?"

Gu Yingying gave a cold snort.

"It depends on your performance."

"Little sister, good little sister!" Gu Jin sidled up to Gu Yingying, grinning mischievously. "How about I steal your brother Qin Zheng's underwear for you someday?"

Qin Zheng's brow twitched, and he almost couldn't resist the urge to kick Gu Jin directly.

Gu Yingying's gaze swept between Qin Zheng and Ye Yun with great interest, then she suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "Great!"

"Brother, you're sneaking a peek! By the way, what do Qin Zheng's underwear look like? What color are they? Can I steal a white one? I want to hang it on the window to ward off evil spirits!"

Qin Zheng could no longer contain himself. "Can you guys talk about this kind of thing somewhere else, in front of the person in question?"

Ye Yun was shocked and covered her mouth, asking, "So you're really planning to let Gu Jin steal your underwear?"

Gu Jin coughed, patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "Xiao Yun'er, that's 21,800 yuan. A pair of underwear for 21,800 yuan, it's a profit no matter how you look at it!"
