As soon as Xiao Jincheng went upstairs, he heard a familiar voice and immediately smiled.
"Little Pear, what brings you here? Isn't today the midterm exam?"
Jiang Xiaoli winked at him, "Our teacher thought that if I took the exam, others wouldn't have a chance to get first place, so he simply gave me a holiday."
"Hahaha!" Xiao Jincheng laughed and rubbed her head. "Come on, let's go to the office. I just wanted to have a chat with you."
Jiang Xiaoli followed him to his office and sat down. "Uncle Xiao, is there any progress on the commercial complex project?"
Xiao Jincheng nodded. "Yes, it's news about that piece of land. I asked about it several times before, but the higher-ups always made excuses, saying that some cultural industry was planned for that area in the future. They just kept brushing me off. This time, Zhou Bang went to ask and got some news."
She raised an eyebrow. "This Uncle Zhou has a lot of influence, doesn't he? How so?"
Xiao Jincheng chuckled, "If he didn't have the ability, I wouldn't have approached him, right? The higher-ups have loosened the restrictions, but if we want to build commercial and residential apartments on it, we have to change the land use to mixed-use, and the price isn't cheap, they're asking for 700,000 yuan per mu."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but frown. "When I was looking at the place a while ago, Zong Jiayu inquired about a piece of land in the south of the city that was acquired by a foreign businessman for less than 400,000 yuan."
"Haha, Little Pear, there's a lot more to this than meets the eye! But since Zhou Bangcai did it this way, I've changed my mind. Their influence is only effective in Xi'an. I'll work with them on this project, but when we expand to other places, I'll have to make the decisions myself." Xiao Jincheng exhaled a smoke ring.
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, Uncle Xiao, as long as this project is successful, leaders from other places will have to offer preferential terms to invite you to invest."
"Haha, I don't dare to think about things that far ahead. Let's focus on doing the things in front of us well first."
A thought suddenly occurred to her, "Uncle Xiao, how much of this project do you plan to give them?"
Xiao Jincheng stubbed out his cigarette. "The investment for this project is tentatively set at 200 million yuan, and additional investment can be made later. Let's see how much they can contribute. If I'm not mistaken, each of them has about 10 to 20 million yuan at their disposal. Hehe, I've already told them that I have a big shot from another province who wants to invest the majority of the shares."
"Haha, Uncle Xiao, that was a brilliant move!" Jiang Xiaoli laughed out loud at his action.
Xiao Jincheng sighed helplessly, "We were all friends who played together at the same table. If someone suddenly becomes rich, then this table will have to be disbanded. Not to mention that Wang Xiong lost at least 50 million yuan in Hainan Province this year."
She nodded. "You're right to be cautious."
"Well, the problem now is that I want to find a top-notch architectural design team. Little Pear, do you have any good suggestions?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled wryly, "Uncle Xiao, I can barely come up with ideas for interior design, but I'm completely clueless about architectural design. However, I think you could try to find a solution at an architectural design institute."
Xiao Jincheng muttered, "Architectural Design Institute?"
“Yes, actually we have many great architectural design masters in China. You can go to big cities like Kyoto and Shanghai to take a look,” she suggested.
Xiao Jincheng's gaze remained fixed on her. "Little Pear, once the land deal is almost finalized, how about Uncle takes you on a trip?"
Jiang Xiaoli burst out laughing, "Haha, Uncle Xiao, I don't have any objections. Why don't you ask Aunt Xu and my mom? If they agree, then I have no objections."
Xiao Jincheng touched his nose guiltily, "Oh, is that so? Hehe, let me sort out the land issue first."
He then pulled out a few documents. "Little Pear, come on, take a look. If there are no problems, have your mom sign them when we get back."
She opened it and looked at it, then quickly waved her hand in refusal, "Uncle Xiao, you're giving me too much!"
Xiao Jincheng's newly established real estate company actually gave her 20% of the shares!
Xiao Jincheng held her hand down. "Just this once. If the company doesn't do well in the future, I'll let it go. But if it does, I won't care about the additional investment!"
A warm feeling washed over Jiang Xiaoli. "Uncle Xiao, you've been incredibly generous."
She returned home and gave the share transfer agreement to Li Guizhi.
Li Guizhi slapped her hand in exasperation, "How could you accept shares in your Uncle Xiao's company! I won't sign this!"
She rubbed her little hands together, "Mom, I don't want it either, but..."
She told Li Guizhi everything about the relationship between Jiang Weimin and Xiao Jincheng, as well as her recent collaboration with Xiao Jincheng.
After a long pause, Li Guizhi sighed, "Sigh, your Uncle Xiao has always been like this. You used to be very resistant, so I didn't want to get too close to them. Now that you've changed your mind, I'll listen to you."
After she finished speaking, she signed her name in the place she had marked beforehand.
She held her daughter's hand tightly, saying, "Xiaoli, Mom is just keeping these for you for now. I'll transfer them all to you when you come of age. The thought of having companies, food factories, and shares under my name makes me uneasy."
Jiang Xiaoli leaned against her with a grin, "It's the same whether it's under your name or mine, so don't worry, our lives will only get better and better in the future."
Li Guizhi smiled and nodded, "It's good as it is now. Your mother isn't someone with great ambitions. As long as you grow up healthy, excel in your studies, and have a bright future, I'll be content."
She sat up straight and looked at her mother disapprovingly. "Mom, you're only in your early thirties. You have so much wonderful time ahead of you to enjoy. You really don't need to put all your energy into me. You're not just my mom, you're an independent individual too. It's okay if you can't think of anything right now. As time goes by, when you discover what hobbies you have or what you want to pursue, I will definitely be your most loyal supporter!"
Li Guizhi looked at her daughter tenderly and patted her head. "Okay, okay! Mom understands!"
After lunch, Li Guizhi and Xu Feng arranged to go to the tailor shop to pick up the curtains and bedding they had ordered.
Jiang Xiaoli decided to become their little shadow, saying, "With so much stuff, I'll be your helper!"
Xu Feng chuckled and pinched her arm. "Little Pear, what can you lift with your skinny arms and legs?"
She raised her arm, straining to muster even the slightest, barely perceptible muscle. "Auntie, I can do it!"
Li Guizhi took her hand and said, "Okay, let's go, stop fooling around."
The three arrived at the tailor shop in the fabric market. Li Guizhi and Xu Feng carefully checked their belongings to see if there were any problems.
Jiang Xiaoli opened the snakeskin bag, and they checked one item at a time before putting another inside.
