Chapter 237 Deciding to Return to Xia City
"If you have made up your mind, I respect your choice." Bian Chengjun said to Chen Rou.
"Teacher Bian, how could you let her go alone?" Zhang Ke looked disapproving.
"It's her own choice." Bian Chengjun frowned. "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. She's done much better at the research center these past six months than she did at school."
"I believe Chen Rou can play a greater role in the research center led by Hao."
Hao Zhiguo nodded. "I heard from the person in charge of the planting project that Comrade Chen Rou is doing a very good job. We also need such talents."
Yang Qing was a little curious. "Leader Hao, if you are transferred back to Xia City, will the research center go with you? What about the work here?"
"I will move the research center back. I originally brought this team here from Xia City, so of course I have to take them with me," Hao Zhiguo said. "Someone will take over the work here. We've also recruited some locals in the past six months. If they want to stay in Ming City, they will continue to be in charge."
Yang Qing nodded. That was true. Leader Hao had spent several years to build this research center. It was impossible for it to stay here and benefit others.
At the Xia City Research Center, they can play their role again and benefit more people.
"That's all for today. You all go back and think about it." Hao Zhiguo stood up and everyone dispersed.
Yang Qing and Leng Yi were about to leave when Chen Rou called out to Yang Qing, "Yang Qing, wait a moment!"
Yang Qing turned to look at her, and Leng Yi tactfully stepped aside.
"I've decided to go to Xia City with Leader Hao. If you want to come back, maybe we can meet again in the future." Chen Rou looked at Yang Qing. "I'm very grateful for your enlightenment. After these six months, I realized that a woman can realize her own value without a man."
"Of course I'm still envious that you have a husband who loves you, and I hope we can still be friends in the future."
Yang Qing smiled, "There's no deep hatred between us, and I'm not your enemy. In this apocalyptic world, survival is difficult for everyone, so don't fight to the death for a man."
"Leader Hao is a good leader. You can rest assured when working under him. Just do your job well and he will not treat you unfairly."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then we may meet again in Xia City if we are lucky."
"Okay!" Yang Qing smiled.
Seeing Chen Rou like this, Yang Qing was happy for her.
Zhang Ke looked at the two of them and felt a little uncomfortable.
They reconciled and let go of their past, but I felt like a clown.
Just as Yang Qing was about to leave, Zhang Ke called her back.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Yang Qing looked at him indifferently.
"No..." Zhang Ke didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Since there's nothing more to say, I'll be leaving. Zhang Ke, follow Teacher Bian closely, and you'll achieve something great. It's the end of the world now, and talents like you are needed everywhere."
"Don't dwell on the past or cling to someone. Look forward. Only by looking forward can you see a different landscape."
Zhang Ke was speechless looking at Yang Qing like this. He knew that she had always been excellent and he was not worthy of her.
"I will..."
Yang Qing smiled and waved, "Goodbye then!"
Yang Qing and Leng Yi returned home, and Li Liang and Lin Feng also came back. Because Leader Hao was leaving and entering the eternal night, there were also major changes in their work, so they also came back to discuss with Yang Qing and others whether to stay or leave.
Yang Qing then told the story of the reconstruction of the new urban area of Xia City.
"What do you think?" Yang Qing looked at Leng Yi.
"I'll go with you. Wherever you go, I'll go." Leng Yi held her hand. Wherever she was, that was home.
"Me too, I'll follow Qingqing." Lu Lin said.
Li Liang glanced at Lu Lin and said, "My hometown is also in Xia City. If possible, I would like to go home too."
"I want to too, but how can we earn such high points? Without a house, we don't even have a place to live." Lin Feng said.
"Leader Hao said that the first phase of the project is about to be topped out, and the second phase has just started construction, so if you use building materials, you can redeem points first, and the points will be higher than other materials."
"The reason why the points are high is because this property has permanent ownership, which is equivalent to buying a house. Even before the apocalypse, the housing prices in Xia City were very high, so it's normal that the points are high."
"I know there's a river in Mingcheng. Due to the previous high temperatures, the river water has almost dried up, but there's a lot of river sand in the river that can be used."
"You know Xia City is a coastal city with many beaches, but the salt content of the sand is too high to be used in construction. It will corrode steel bars."
"So we need to take advantage of this opportunity to dig up more river sand from the river in Mingcheng and transport it to Xia City to exchange for points."
"The locals of Mingcheng probably won't leave. Fewer people are going to dig river sand. As for Xia City, the tsunami survivors have been scattered everywhere. Without channels, it's unclear how reconstruction can be done."
"We can quickly dig the river sand before others react. Otherwise, when more people know about it, we won't be able to dig it up."
Everyone nodded. They didn't expect Yang Qing to consider so much at once.
"Hey, I have a question. If you can earn points, would you like to buy your own house, or stay with us?"
Yang Qing looked at Leng Yi and said, "I prefer to move to a villa. I like a quieter and more independent life. Buildings are too crowded and noisy."
Leng Yi nodded, "I like the villa too."
"But if you stay with us, the property rights of the villa will be ours, and you will have no share. Of course, we will also pay the bulk of the points." Yang Qing looked at Li Liang and Lin Feng again.
"If you want your own property, then live separately from us. You can earn points on your own. It would be best if you can trade it for a villa, but if not, you can trade it for a suite. Then you will be homeowners and won't have to rely on us anymore."
"Think about it carefully," Yang Qing said. "There's still time to consider. Before we go to Xia City, let's go dig river sand together and exchange it for points."
"Okay, let's listen to my sister-in-law." Li Liang and Lin Feng both nodded.
No matter whether we live separately in the future or not, we can't stop working. Even if we live in a villa with them, we can't live there for free, right?
After deciding to return to Xia City, Li Liang and Lin Feng quit their security jobs in the compound.
I have contacted Leader Hao and they are allowed to stay in the three-bedroom apartment for another month and can pay the rent.
Yang Qing also went to talk to Xie Yunfang and Bian Chengjun about his decision, and he still wanted to return to Xia City.
Although Xie Yunfang felt it was a pity, she still respected her decision.
"Here are a few books related to Traditional Chinese Medicine, two of which I wrote myself." Xie Yunfang placed the books in Yang Qing's hands. "Don't waste the knowledge you've learned. You can help more people in the future."
"I understand, teacher." Yang Qing nodded. "I'll go to the provincial capital to see you when I have time."
"If you encounter any problems at work, you can come to the provincial capital to find me." Bian Chengjun said with a smile, "You haven't lost your professional skills, so don't fall behind in the future."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Teacher Bian, I won't lose it. If I have land in the future, I will try all kinds of Chinese medicine."
In fact, she has already planted a lot of Chinese medicinal herbs in her space, but they just don’t know it.
