Lu Cheng, who was having dinner with her niece in Fuzhou, sneezed several times.
Lu Cheng was seething with anger, so she decided to have dinner with Lu Qiuying.
"It's just that Yingying brought a few suitcases home, and your grandma called to yell at her. Who is her daughter anyway..." Lu Cheng complained, rubbing the tip of her nose.
Lu Qiuying shook her head and chuckled, "You don't care about Yingying, but her grandma does. Don't you understand the bond between grandparents and grandchildren?"
Lu Cheng, "..."
She let out a soft breath, lowered her head, and drank a bowl of soup before she recovered.
Lu Cheng knew that her ex-husband was currently in the throes of a new romance, which is why she immediately booked a flight for Yingying to return to China.
She wasn't surprised at all; in fact, she felt a sense of relief.
Lu Cheng felt relaxed and carefree at this moment, regretting that she hadn't divorced him sooner.
Two incompatible people may feel they can't live without each other after a while, but it's really just a matter of getting used to each other.
“Auntie, you only returned to Beijing before the Lunar New Year. Will Grandma bombard you with phone calls?” Lu Qiuying looked at her sympathetically.
Lu Cheng shook his head, "Impossible, Yingying is such a clever little devil, she must have won over the two elders by now."
“She knows that I’m working hard to earn money so that I can give her a better life, and she supports my business venture.”
Lu Qiuying raised an eyebrow slightly, understanding Yingying's feelings.
My aunt's property development has just started pre-sales, and it's a crucial time, so she can't leave Fuzhou.
"Zhu Ling's design for the large single-level apartment is fantastic. I've reserved one for you and Yun Shen. You can just move in with your bags. I'll renovate several apartments at the same time," Lu Cheng changed the subject.
She doesn't want to talk to her niece about her ex-husband right now, not because she can't let go, but because she doesn't want to waste her energy.
I used to think that letting go of a relationship meant I didn't love the person, but now I realize it meant I didn't want to waste time and energy on it.
"Auntie, I'll pay for it myself..."
"Are you trying to insult me?" Lu Cheng immediately interrupted her, glaring at Lu Qiuying.
"Consider this my wedding gift to both of you."
"Besides, I have no money left but a house, so you can't refuse."
Lu Qiuying nodded helplessly, thinking to herself that she should ask Xiao Jin to help her aunt promote the idea that many people in their city planning department were capable of buying houses.
…
night.
Lu Qiuying then told Xiao Jin about it.
“Okay, I’ll tell them about it then. The location is great, and I expect it to sell out as soon as it opens,” Xiao Jin said with a smile.
He originally wanted to buy land and build a house next to Lu Yunshen's villa, but then he thought it would be better to live in a large single-level apartment.
After all, both of their positions require a low profile.
Xiao Jin continued, "After the renovation is complete, we'll cover all the appliances and furniture for my aunt's place."
We'll repay this favor later.
Lu Qiuying waved her hand, "There's no rush now. Let's lay low for a while."
Fuzhou is developing too fast; the higher-ups are sending people to investigate.
She received a call from Minister Hai today, which alerted everyone at the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
This shows how strict the inspection was.
Xiao Jin thought of the phone call she received from the Chen family today, and a dark look flashed in her eyes.
He didn't cause trouble for them when they targeted Lu Qiuying last time, but now he wants to make peace? Why didn't he do that earlier?
Are the Chen family trying to be opportunists now?
Xiao Jin said, "Don't come back alone recently. I'll pick you up after get off work."
His older brother suffered a loss in silence, and he's capable of anything.
After all, the Lu family's influence hadn't yet extended to Fushi, so he had fewer concerns.
Lu Qiuying propped her head up and turned to look at the person beside her.
"Do you think my dad wouldn't know about the Xiao family?"
Xiao Jin's back stiffened. So his older brother had already made a move?
Panic flashed in his eyes, "Qiuying, you..."
Lu Qiuying covered his mouth, "There's no need to apologize, it'll hurt our relationship."
"Since I chose you, I'm prepared to face it together, and so is the Lu family."
A warm feeling flowed through Xiao Jin's heart, and he nodded while holding her hand.
The Xiao family is now divided up, and they are not willing to divide the inheritance equally. They are all eyeing the properties, antiques, and paintings that his mother previously received.
Now they're not even afraid of the Lu family anymore, and they actually dare to threaten him with Lu Qiuying?
Xiao Jin used to hide his strength just so they wouldn't pay too much attention to him.
It seems that the Xiao family has become despicable; the more you back down, the more they take advantage of you.
Lu Qiuying yawned and fell asleep shortly afterward.
She's been incredibly busy lately; the latest phase of port acceptance is coming, and a lot of people from Beijing are coming.
All departments in Fukushima are making preparations for this.
Whether everyone can have a good New Year depends on this inspection.
In the following days, major newspapers in Fukushima reported on the progress of the port's acceptance inspection.
Lin Ziyan, meanwhile, was in the village signing mudflat contracts with the village secretaries.
This time, she plans to lease all the mudflats in several nearby villages and use them entirely for aquaculture.
For example, abalone, oysters, prawns, etc.
Separate areas were designated for recruitment.
The chubby girl followed her to the offices of various villages, and they also went to various mudflats to collect water and silt.
"Ayan, what are you planning to do with all this?"
"It's not just about raising fish, is it?" the chubby girl asked suspiciously, carrying her suitcase.
Mudflats are actually not suitable for raising marine fish. Lin Ziyan only used the vastness of the mudflats to create a separate environment suitable for fish to live in.
Now her ideas have changed; she wants to make the most of the nearby mudflats and expand the farming of mud crabs, oysters, and other species.
Oysters, in particular, have a farming cycle of only three months. If there are stable sales channels, the profits can be quite considerable.
Lin Ziyan briefly explained her thoughts to the chubby girl.
"You need to learn to drive, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go to the city for business in the future," she suddenly remembered and mentioned it.
The chubby girl felt a chill run down her spine, and silently nodded as she watched her drive skillfully.
What secretary can't drive?
This was something her father said to her a few nights ago.
"There are driving instructors in the county now, the company will reimburse the expenses, and there will be a bonus after you complete the course." Lin Ziyan promised her a bright future, but whether she could actually take a bite of that promise depended on how hard she tried.
The chubby girl breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll go to the county to register tomorrow and try to get my driver's license in a month... no, in a week."
Lin Ziyan turned to look at the chubby girl and continued to make empty promises, "Once you learn to drive, I'll get you a car."
The chubby girl swallowed hard; she knew that Ah Yan meant what she said.
When she got home, the chubby girl was still in a daze.
Cao De called her several times, but received no response.
"What are you staring at? The little dumpling has been looking at you, she's about to cry." Cao De tugged at her sleeve.
The chubby girl snapped out of her daze and muttered, "Ayan said she'd teach me to drive, and if I learned, she'd get me a car."
Cao De, “…”
"You don't believe me?" The chubby girl quickly picked up her daughter and kissed her several times.
The little dumpling grinned and drool dripped down its face.
Cao De quickly grabbed a small towel to wipe it clean, his eyes softening, and he said in a low voice,
"Of course I believe you, I'll go with you to learn then."
The chubby girl nodded, which made her less afraid.
She had actually wanted to sign up for a long time, but her father's words spurred her on.
