At Commander Yao's signal, Political Commissar Li took out two documents from his bag.
"Comrade Jiang, this is your donation receipt, and below is a detailed list of the primary school construction."
"The remaining money will be used specifically for this purpose. We guarantee that every penny of your donation will be used effectively!"
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment upon hearing this; she hadn't expected it either.
The two leaders came here today just to ask for her opinion.
“Commander, Political Commissar, I am donating this money simply to do my part.”
"As for how this money will be used, I trust the organization."
A simple sentence conveyed his attitude.
This also put the two leaders at ease.
Commander Yao laughed heartily, "Alright, then it's settled! I'll make the arrangements later."
Jiang Si had no objection.
But she had one request: "Commander, Political Commissar, I don't want anyone else to know about this donation..."
"I understand, I understand." Commander Yao gave her a reassuring look.
After saying that, he pointed at Huo Tingzhou and said, "This kid went to my office early this morning. To be honest, I've been in the Fourth Division for so long, and this is the first time I've seen him talk so much."
"It's one thing that he talks a lot, but this kid also made a whole bunch of demands of me."
Having said that, Commander Yao didn't hold back anymore.
“Xiao Jiang, the kid has already told us about your desire to invest in the farm, and we understand your concerns.”
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment. What did she say?
What are your concerns?
Commander Yao gave him a knowing look and said, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it directly."
"No matter how many shares you ultimately subscribe to, I assure you that no one will make a fuss about it."
The Red Committee has jurisdiction over everything, but it can't control their troops.
Anyone who dares to jeopardize the Fourth Division's livelihood at this time should face their wrath!
Of course, the necessary confidentiality measures still need to be taken.
Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have chosen this time to come today.
Commander Yao said, "Xiao Jiang, your share purchase agreement, including the subsequent dividends, will be handled by a designated person."
Political Commissar Li nodded in agreement, "These details will be included in the confidentiality clause to ensure they won't affect your life, so please rest assured."
Jiang Si truly hadn't expected to receive such personal assurances from the two leaders.
She never expected that Huo Tingzhou would do so much behind the scenes after simply saying "oh" that day.
At that moment, she finally understood: "Just do it, leave the rest to me!"
Just how valuable is this statement?
With all her worries perfectly resolved, Jiang Si could now focus on her pregnancy.
Two days later, a bus drove into the military compound.
Within half a day, the news that the military had assigned two units to assist in the construction of the farm quickly spread throughout the family compound.
Jiang Si had been supervising the construction at home for the past two days, so she only heard the news from Xu Mingjuan on the second day.
"I heard that all the experts who came this time are well-known in Beijing. There are about twenty of them in total, and they brought more than half a car full of measuring tools."
"Their arrival will certainly make the residential compound lively."
Jiang Si poured her a glass of lemonade. "What's all the commotion about?"
"It's all about subscribing to shares."
Xu Mingjuan didn't stand on ceremony, took the bottle and gulped down a large mouthful, then continued the conversation from before.
Simply put, the family compound is now divided into two factions.
Those who want to invest and those who don't are arguing about it every day.
In any case, neither of them can convince the other.
Jiang Si just smiled when she heard this; she wouldn't get involved in such matters.
But she was curious, "Sister-in-law, are you planning to vote?"
Xu Mingjuan frankly said, "I do intend to invest, but I haven't decided how much to invest."
Having lived in the Fourth Division for so many years, she had long considered this place her home.
So whether she makes a profit or a loss, she's going to invest some this time.
It would be best if there were dividends.
If not, then consider it as sharing hardships.
But these were all her own thoughts; she had no intention of advising others.
So as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Mingjuan immediately added, "Si Meizi, I didn't mean to persuade you to vote."
“I know,” Jiang Si smiled.
Having known her for so long, how could she not know Xu's personality?
At that moment, Xu Mingjuan suddenly looked over.
Thinking about what she had heard in the family compound, she said seriously, "Si sister, whether to vote or not, how much to vote, is not mandatory. Don't worry too much because of your identity as a 'red capitalist'."
Jiang Si understood what she meant and nodded.
Jiang Si couldn't say exactly how much to invest.
But whether she votes or not, she can still bring it up.
"Sister-in-law, I'm actually planning to invest too, but like you, I haven't decided how much to invest yet."
Jiang Si wasn't lying; she could only confirm this after seeing the final design drawings.
Xu Mingjuan wasn't too surprised by this answer.
As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
They can get along well, which means that, to some extent, they are the same type of people.
"It's good that you know what's going on."
As she spoke, Xu Mingjuan glanced at the attic of Jiang Si's house.
Her attic also collapsed this time, but it wasn't as bad.
That's why I took half a day off today, hoping to learn from your experience.
When they went upstairs, they exclaimed, "You've made quite a few changes to this attic!"
Jiang Si nodded, "It has to be changed, otherwise it will cause trouble later."
