Chapter 385 An Unexpected Encounter with an Acquaintance



"I know what I'm doing."

Wang Qian reached out and patted Huang Bo on the shoulder. "If it were anyone else, I would definitely follow the procedures strictly, but Qingqing is different. I trust her!"

He said it very sincerely.

Trust is mutual!

He only gave Xu Qingqing a prepayment of 20,000 yuan.

According to the agreement, if he does not pay the second installment after the first phase of work is completed, Xu Qingqing should stop working.

Even with the pressure of a shortage of funds, Xu Qingqing kept working hard to finish the project, which shows how sincere she was and how much she trusted him.

If he can't even trust the other party, then he's truly judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.

"Thanks!"

Xu Qingqing gave her a grateful look.

But after glancing at Huang Bo beside her, she shook her head. "No need. Lawyer Huang is right. Friendship is friendship, and work is work. You are a businessman. If you always act impulsively, you will easily suffer losses and be cheated."

"That's settled then!"

Wang Qian's attitude toward this matter was very firm: "Moreover, it won't be long before we have even bigger projects to cooperate on."

Are you sure you want to cooperate with me?

Xu Qingqing was overjoyed.

The reason she worked so hard and was willing to take out bank loans to make up for the installments Wang Qian hadn't paid on time was largely because Wang Qian had previously said that if this project was completed well, he would give her an even bigger project in the future.

She had previously thought that Wang Qian was just making empty promises to persuade her to complete the project.

Now it seems that it must be true.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to take over once you finish the project here."

A hint of anticipation rose in Wang Qian's eyes.

His bet with the Liu family has been settled.

Once he can step through that door, he can unleash his full potential and make a big splash.

Xu Qingqing's Sky Pavilion Construction Company will also come in handy.

"Could you tell me more about it?"

Xu Qingqing said with great interest, "You told me in advance so I could be mentally prepared."

"I'm sorry, I only said 'should.' I won't reveal it until I'm absolutely certain."

Not wanting to continue on this topic, Wang Qian quickly changed the subject, saying, "Since that's the case, you go ahead with your work, I'll head back to the county town first."

"Well... okay!"

Xu Qingqing was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't pursue the matter further. She simply said, "If there's a chance to collaborate, don't forget me."

"Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Wang Qian reiterated his assurance.

Afterwards, he went home with Huang Bo, had breakfast, said goodbye to his family, and then went to the bus station in their Xieyang Village.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, your business is so big now, why don't you buy a luxury car and drive it yourself?"

On the way, Huang Bo asked, "You keep going back and forth to the city like this. It's so inconvenient not having your own car."

"I know!"

Wang Qian nodded. "I was planning to buy one, but I haven't gotten my driver's license yet, so I'm not considering it for now."

He wasn't particularly attached to cars.

Even if I were to buy one, I wouldn't buy anything too expensive.

His past life of extravagance and debauchery made him realize that no matter how glamorous the appearance, practicality is more important.

"Alright, then hurry up and buy it. I can drive it around occasionally," Huang Bo said with a smile.

Then he added, "By the way, aren't you going to find me a suitable location for my law firm?"

"I'll find you a place once I've finished dealing with the important things I have to do," Wang Qian hurriedly assured him.

Huang Bo was someone he had summoned to Nanming County, so naturally he would help the other party handle these matters.

The most important point,

Huang Bo agreed to come, largely because of him.

Otherwise, Nanming County would only be considered a fourth or fifth-tier city in the country, and the prospects for development in such a small place would not be very promising.

As they chatted, the two arrived at the station.

"Hey? Xiao Qian, what are you doing here?"

A rough yet familiar voice came from ahead.

"Brother Long?"

Wang Qian glanced at the person who spoke and was also somewhat surprised.

A burly, rugged-looking young man strode quickly toward him from the front.

It was Yang Shenglong, whom we hadn't seen in a long time!

Behind Yang Shenglong was a tall, beautiful woman.

It was Yang Shenglong's younger sister, Yang Ju.

"Xiao Qian, I was just about to go to the county town to find you."

The two brothers approached, and Yang Shenglong scratched his head, saying awkwardly, "Because of my mother's matter, my work has been delayed for so long. You're not going to fire me, are you?"

"Brother Long, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Wang Qian's face darkened. "No matter how important the work is, it's not as important as saving lives."

Then, he glanced back and forth between Yang Shenglong and Yang Ju, frowning as he asked, "How did Auntie's surgery go?"

Even if the surgery is successful, the two of them should stay home to take care of each other.

But now they're all at the train station, which is a bit unexpected.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Qian. My mother's surgery was very successful, and she's now at home recuperating. She should be fully recovered in a while." Yang Ju gave Wang Qian a grateful look.

"Where are you going?" Wang Qian asked.

"I'm going back to work in the city!"

Yang Shenglong quickly added, "And while you're at it, see my sister off."

"Where is Xiaoju going?" Wang Qian pressed.

"Go out and find work!"

Yang Shenglong was a little embarrassed. "Luckily, you lent us 20,000 yuan this time, so my mother was able to have the surgery. Now that the surgery is over, my siblings and I definitely have to find a way to pay you back."

Yang Ju quickly chimed in, "Don't worry, Brother Qian, we'll pay you back as soon as possible."

"So where are you planning to go?" Wang Qian continued to ask.

"I'm planning to go to the coastal areas."

A hint of confusion flashed in Yang Ju's eyes, but as if she didn't want to disappoint Wang Qian, she forced a smile.

"I heard that many factories have opened there, and they are recruiting a lot of workers with high wages."

"If you work hard and put in overtime every day, you can even earn more than a thousand yuan a month."

As if to prove her point, Yang Ju nudged Yang Shenglong with her shoulder and elbow, "Brother, did my cousin say this when she came home for Chinese New Year last time?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Yang Shenglong quickly chimed in, "I have a cousin named Zhang Xiaoxiao. She was abducted by human traffickers a few years ago, but she suddenly came back last year. She said she got a job in a factory on the coast with a high salary, and she came specifically to ask Xiaoju to go with her."

"Then why didn't you go back then?" Wang Qian asked with interest.

In that era, the coastal areas were indeed the pioneers of economic take-off, which laid the foundation for the annual migrant worker surge that occurred in the inland areas in the following decades.

but,

Even in the earlier factories along the coast, the wages of ordinary employees ranged from two hundred to one thousand yuan.

Those that can reach a thousand are already considered top-tier.

The price is generally between two hundred and five hundred.

Yang Shenglong's cousin actually said there was more than a thousand.

He was genuinely curious about what kind of job it was that paid such a high salary.
