Qian Duoduo whispered to Lu Yuan, "This secretary's name is really unique!"
Lu Yuan looked at Qian Duoduo with a puzzled expression, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, and asked softly, "Why would you say that?"
Qian Duoduo glanced cautiously at the closed door and whispered to Lu Yuan, "Think about it, this secretary is named Gou Qiang, that sounds pretty ominous!"
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He quickly followed Qian Duoduo's gaze and, sensing with his spatial ability that Gou Qiang was indeed not behind the door, breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hint of reproach, "You, this girl, are really audacious! How dare you make such a joke about someone's name? Aren't you afraid of leaving a bad impression on Uncle Jiang?"
Qian Duoduo didn't care at all and replied with a smile, "Hehe, isn't it because you're here? With you backing me up, what am I afraid of!" After saying that, the two of them picked up a cup of steaming hot tea and sat comfortably in their seats.
Not long after, a crisp and urgent knocking sounded suddenly. Yang Wei was the first to push the door open and enter, followed by a small old man in a clean and crisp iron-gray Zhongshan suit, with his hair neatly combed and not a single strand out of place, and a serious yet handsome face.
The old man had barely stepped into the room when his gaze immediately locked onto Lu Yuan. A warm and friendly smile spread across his face as he said enthusiastically, "Oh, Yuanzi! When did you arrive in Guangzhou? Why did it take you so long to think of your Uncle Jiang?"
Lu Yuan, with a bright smile on his face, strode forward, opened his arms warmly, and gave Jiang Bohan a tight hug. Then he said happily, "Uncle Jiang, look at what you're saying. I'm just accompanying my wife to Guangzhou to take care of some business!"
Jiang Bohan smiled and turned his gaze to Qian Duoduo, who was standing next to Lu Yuan and chatting happily. His eyes showed satisfaction. He praised her with a smile, "Yuanzi's wife is really good. She looks like a gentle and kind girl!"
Hearing Jiang Bohan's praise, Qian Duoduo blushed slightly, looking a little shy, but still sweetly greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Jiang!"
With a smile on his face, Jiang Bohan walked calmly to the head of the table, then turned and waved gently to Lu Yuan, gesturing for them to sit down. He said in a gentle tone, "Please, don't be shy, have a seat."
Just then, Gou Qiang led several waiters in. Jiang Bohan said to Gou Qiang with a smile, "Oh dear, this is really difficult! I don't know what my niece-in-law likes to eat, so I asked Gou Qiang to help me order two dishes that the girls might like." After saying that, he looked at Qian Duoduo apologetically.
Qian Duoduo nodded politely in thanks. Actually, she didn't have a particularly strong liking for these dishes. After all, before transmigrating into this book, she had tasted countless unique and creative dishes, which were far more exciting than what she was seeing now! However, being in this world, she naturally wouldn't be too picky and instead adopted a casual attitude.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's calm demeanor, Jiang Bohan nodded in approval. This young girl had a good temperament. During the meal, he and Lu Yuan chatted about their past and present lives. Qian Duoduo listened obediently, occasionally interjecting, but without being offensive. This made Jiang Bohan's praise for his friend's daughter-in-law rise even higher.
After everyone had finished eating, Jiang Bohan said with a smile, "My niece-in-law is making quite a splash in Shenzhen!"
Qian Duoduo smiled brightly and said softly, "Uncle Jiang, you flatter me! Actually, my sister-in-law is the mayor of Pengcheng, and her main job is urban construction. As for me, I happened to buy two plots of land some time ago, and I also bought some other small pieces of land. I did this purely to help my sister-in-law and hopefully make some achievements for her."
Hearing this, Jiang Bohan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a kind and amiable smile, and he replied, "Haha, you little girl, you really are a very honest person!"
A little embarrassed by the compliment, Qian Duoduo chuckled softly and replied, "How could I dare to lie in front of you!"
Jiang Bohan burst into hearty laughter, the sound echoing in the room. After laughing, he looked at Qian Duoduo and Lu Yuan and teased, "Alright, alright, you two little devils, stop beating around the bush. You've gone in circles 800 times already, just tell me, what do you want from me?"
At this moment, Lu Yuan, who had been standing to the side with a smile, spoke up: "Hehe, Uncle Jiang, it's like this. I brought Duoduo here to meet you today mainly so that she can get acquainted with you. Also, I'd like to ask you to help get the approval procedures for the land that Duoduo bought before approved."
After listening, Jiang Bohan still smiled, but his tone became slightly serious: "Yes, this matter is handled by a specialist."
Lu Yuan quickly explained, "We naturally understand, Uncle Jiang. We met with the comrade in charge of this yesterday. But who knew that he insisted on drinking with Duoduo, and Duoduo got completely drunk and ended up in the hospital." As he spoke, Lu Yuan helplessly spread his hands and shook his head.
Jiang Bohan was taken aback: "Is that so?"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "It happened yesterday."
Jiang Bohan nodded and asked, "What was the approved purpose of your land?"
Qian Duoduo said seriously, "Initially, I planned to build a shopping mall and hotel to complement the Oriental Garden project on this land. However, the vice governor blocked the project, so I had to change the location of the shopping mall and hotel project to a fishing village by the sea. This only requires approval from the leaders in Pengcheng City. Now I plan to use this land for another purpose."
Jiang Bohan listened and nodded, without commenting much on the matter. Finally, he asked, "What are you going to do?"
Qian Duoduo glanced at Lu Yuan and, after receiving a nod of approval, continued, "Our country is in dire need of rebuilding and urgently needs knowledgeable and capable people to build our nation. However, we cannot neglect the education of the next generation, so I want to use this land to build a private school."
Jiang Bohan was taken aback. A private school? He wanted to object, but then he thought that most of the residents in Dongfang Huating were office workers from Hong Kong or abroad, many of whom brought their families. So, the education of these children must also be something that these parents had to consider.
