She actually found a good place while searching. However, it was a small village near the Songhua River with a small population, only about ten households in total. Each household had a large yard. More importantly, the location was quite good because she knew that 20 years later, when Shangzhi County was upgraded to a prefecture-level city, the municipal government building would be built here.
As someone who knew about future developments, her heart immediately stirred. If she could really acquire this land, she would seem to be invincible no matter what. However, land control was quite strict now, and the complete uprooting of such a village might encounter very strong opposition. Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo said to herself, "Knowing too much is also a hassle."
Leaning against her bicycle, she looked at the village not far away, frowning as she pondered how to solve this problem. Although she had sufficient funds, acquiring the entire village's land would not be easy. First, she needed to communicate and negotiate with the local government and villagers to gain their support and consent. Wen Yuzhu was the county party secretary; she could try to leverage her connections, and through him, she could also contact the provincial and municipal governments for assistance. After all, there weren't many companies with the resources to help the county develop.
Secondly, a series of issues such as land planning and environmental protection need to be considered to ensure the legality and sustainability of the project. In addition, a detailed development plan and marketing strategy are needed to fully utilize the value of this land. These things can wait until after Third Brother and his family get married; after all, it's not something to rush. Let's get things settled at the lumber mill first.
However, she still silently marked this place in her heart. Seeing that it was getting late, Qian Duoduo rode her bicycle back to Qianshan Village. To her surprise, guests came to her house today.
Seeing that familiar roguish smile, Qian Duoduo was still very happy. Although she had known for a long time that the Lu family would come to her side to propose marriage, she never expected that Lu Yiheng would actually come here in person. After all, with his current status, he could not leave Beijing casually, as he had to consider various factors. However, his coming was enough to prove that he valued her.
In truth, Qian Sheng hadn't expected Lu Yiheng and his wife to return, considering he was now a frequent face on CCTV's "News Broadcast." For someone of his stature, every trip required careful consideration and meticulous planning. Therefore, Qian Sheng was both surprised and honored when Lu Yiheng appeared at the door.
When Jin Jinxiu saw Qian Duoduo return, she immediately stepped forward and pulled her aside, asking in a low voice, "Old lady, why didn't you tell your parents who came from so far away?"
Qian Duoduo, standing close to Jin Jinxiu, whispered in reply, "I knew they were coming, but I didn't know when they would arrive. Otherwise, would I have been gone all day? Besides, with Uncle Lu's current status, could he just leave whenever he wanted? I didn't even dare to say when, and they didn't give me any information."
Qian Duoduo's explanation made Jin Jinxiu understand the reason, and she nodded in understanding. Nevertheless, Jin Jinxiu still felt somewhat nervous and uneasy. After all, the Lu family was a prominent family in Beijing, and even in China, and Lu Yiheng, as the Vice Premier of China and the head of this family, was an even more prominent figure. This marriage proposal meant that the two families were about to become in-laws, which was a major event for Jin Jinxiu.
Jin Jinxiu believed Qian Duoduo's words, after all, the old maid had been running around for the tofu shop these past two days.
When Lu Yiheng arrived, he was accompanied by a car and bodyguards, which was quite a reduction. Otherwise, given his position as the Vice Premier of China, he wouldn't have come so simply. Moreover, he was traveling in a low-key manner. Otherwise, it's estimated that leaders from the province and city would have come to Qianshan Village to report for duty.
Lu Yiheng had been chatting with Qian Sheng for a while. When he saw Qian Duoduo return, he smiled and said, "You little rascal, you've been gone for almost half a day. I've been waiting for you for a while."
Qian Duoduo took the wet towel handed to her by her fourth sister-in-law, wiped her hands, smiled sweetly at Wen Yugui, and then turned to Lu Yiheng and said, "I didn't know you and Auntie would be here at this time."
Lu Yiheng said with a smile, "I can't not come. Aunt Wen originally said she wanted to come by herself, but I think it's only important for me, the person in charge, to take this seriously."
Qian Sheng and Jin Jinxiu were both stunned by what the youngest daughter had done. What had she done to warrant such attention from the Vice Premier? Their eyes were fixed on Qian Duoduo, as if trying to see right through her.
Qian Duoduo just smiled. She was touched that Lu Yiheng had taken time out of his busy schedule to personally propose marriage and get engaged.
After seeing Lu Yiheng finish speaking, Wen Ya stood up and walked to Qian Duoduo's side, reaching out to pull her hand and saying, "I've missed you so much since you left. When you were in Beijing, you often came over, and we often met up and chatted. Now that you're gone, I feel so empty inside."
Qian Duoduo smiled and took Wen Ya's arm, saying happily, "I came back this time to take the postgraduate entrance examination."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yiheng immediately asked, "What was the result?"
Qian Duoduo looked at the old man speechlessly. Who asks about grades right away? But as the vice prime minister, she still answered seriously, "I haven't taken the exam yet. I plan to go back to Harbin the day after tomorrow and take the exam the day after that."
Lu Yiheng nodded, looked at Wen Ya, and said, "Then we've come at just the right time." Wen Ya also smiled and nodded.
After helping Wenya sit down, Qian Duoduo said, "Of course, it's perfect timing. If you had come any later, I would have left."
Qian Sheng was initially a little reserved, but upon hearing Qian Duoduo and Lu Yiheng's half-joking words, his reserve vanished instantly. He understood that the Lu family truly cared for Duoduo, otherwise Duoduo wouldn't dare to be so unrestrained.
Lu Yuan leaned over, grabbed Qian Duoduo's clothes, and tugged at them gently. Qian Duoduo felt the movement behind her and quietly turned her head. She saw Lu Yuan grinning at her with his big teeth showing. If it weren't for his handsome face, Qian Duoduo really wouldn't want to look at this cheap guy!
Lu Yuan bent down slightly and whispered in Wen Ya's ear, "I have something to say to Duo Duo." Seeing Wen Ya nod slightly, he immediately grabbed Qian Duo Duo's clothes and slowly pulled her back. If he wasn't afraid of exposing her, Qian Duo Duo would have kicked Lu Yuan.
