After receiving her graduation certificate, Guan Baiyu did not start working, but instead followed Shi Zhen back to Changxi City.
He now owns several stores and a company, earning a considerable income, so there's no need for him to find a formal job.
Even if he found a job, he would be too busy to handle everything... Even though he delegated some things at the game company to others, he didn't completely abandon his responsibilities.
Most importantly, he used to have to go to school and spend little time with Shi Zhen, but now he just wants to be with Shi Zhen.
For the past few years, Guan Baiyu and Shi Zhen have been living in the house they bought before.
In recent years, Shi Zhen has actually built some new residential buildings in Changxi City, including high-rise buildings with elevators and villas. He also kept a few houses for himself, but they didn't have time to deal with the renovations. Shi Zhen is also a sentimental person, so he has continued to live here.
Guan Baiyu had no intention of moving.
As long as I'm with Shi Zhen, it doesn't matter where I live.
The next day, Guan Baiyu went to Baishi Construction with Shi Zhen as usual.
The headquarters building of Baishi Construction is no longer a novelty in Changxi City... In recent years, other companies have built office buildings that are modeled after Baishi Construction's building, and some are even larger than Baishi Construction's building.
In addition, the office building that used to have very few people now has many people inside.
Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu went in together, and the staff inside greeted them one after another.
Guan Baiyu spent most of his time interning here, and a small portion of his time going to the provincial capital... Everyone here already knows him, and they also know that he is the company's most influential person with the strongest connections.
Zhao Qiujuan is their boss's older sister, and Duan Hongming is their boss's brother-in-law, but compared to these two... their boss clearly values Guan Baiyu, his younger brother, the most.
Their boss treats Guan Baiyu incredibly well!
Upon seeing Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu enter Shi Zhen's office, someone said to Duan Hongming, "The boss really values his brother!"
"Hmm," Duan Hongming said.
"I heard he's just a cousin, a recent graduate, and the boss values him more than you do..." The person speaking to Duan Hongming was deliberately trying to sow discord.
Duan Hongming gave the other person a cold look: "So what?"
Duan Hongming was clearly unprovoked. The man gave an awkward laugh and left.
As the man walked away, Duan Hongming looked around and felt as if he were the only one sober in a world of drunks.
It's impossible for him to be jealous of Guan Baiyu.
She's the boss's wife!
He's just an employee, why is he arguing with the boss's wife? Isn't that crazy?
He doesn't like men!
Shi Zhen was unaware of what was happening outside. He was talking to Guan Baiyu about Anshan Town—the small house he had bought to house Shi Dalin and his friends was going to be demolished.
The house was small, so the compensation for demolition at that time was not much, and this amount of money was no longer a concern for him.
Compared to the demolition and relocation, what he was really thinking about was something else: "Xiaoyu, I plan to bring my parents to live in Changxi City."
His past life experience taught him that he couldn't help his family too much.
So in recent years, he would buy gifts for Shi Dalin and the others, but not as much as he did in his previous life.
Because Zhao Meiyun did not have her leg amputated, Shi Dalin and the others are doing quite well now.
However, they are getting old, so it would be more reassuring to bring them to live with us.
Besides Shi Dalin and his family, there was also Shi Dashan's family... Shi Zhen planned to persuade them to move to Changxi City as well.
Shi Xingchao's son is about to start kindergarten, and soon he may start primary school. It would be better for him to live in Changxi City.
Most importantly, cough cough, he now has a newly built residential complex, which is perfect for Shi Xingchao to manage the property.
Shi Zhen also wanted to arrange a better job for Shi Xingchao, but Shi Xingchao was too stingy, and his miserly personality made him unable to handle many jobs.
Especially on construction sites, you often have to be generous; being too stingy can easily lead to problems.
However, it would be very suitable for him to manage the property.
As for his uncle and his family, they could choose to open a small shop or stay home to take care of their grandchildren.
Guan Baiyu had no objection to Shi Zhen's plan.
Neither Shi Dalin nor Zhao Meiyun are difficult to get along with, and they have both accepted him now.
Most importantly, Shi Zhen could not allow them to live together.
Shi Zhen added, "The property management for the new building I built is planned to be handled by Xingchao... I kept some apartments there, my sister and her family bought one, and the rest will be given to others."
Shizhen is one of the newest and largest residential complexes in Changxi City. The buildings there are eight to eighteen stories high, all equipped with elevators and underground parking!
At this time in Changxi City, there aren't many residential buildings with elevators, so this new development was snapped up as soon as it came out.
Shi Zhen himself is a developer, which is why he was able to keep some houses.
One of these houses has already been bought by Zhao Qiujuan and Duan Hongming.
They got married two years ago and lived in a house in Changxi City that Zhao Qiujuan bought after selling her house in Anshan Town.
Neither of them were spendthrifts, and their salaries were relatively high compared to others in the area. Duan Hongming also received a year-end bonus... In just over two years, they saved up more than 100,000 yuan and used it as a down payment to buy a house in this new development in Shizhen.
Shi Zhen intended to leave the house across the street to Shi Dalin and his wife.
Zhao Qiujuan hasn't had a child yet, but she's already planned to have one after the house is renovated and she moves in... That way, Zhao Meiyun and Shi Dalin can help take care of the baby.
Zhao Meiyun had mentioned this countless times. She loved children very much and longed to help Zhao Qiujuan take care of her children every day.
Not to mention Zhao Meiyun, even Shi Dalin... Shi Dalin didn't like children much before, but now that he's older, he can't help but smile when he sees Shi Xingchao's son, and he always gives him snacks.
Shi Xingchao and his wife are really stingy with themselves, but they are a little better off with their children. However, in their opinion, there are many things that are unnecessary to buy for their children.
For example, toys... They didn't have toys when they were young, but they still lived just fine, didn't they?
However, Shi Xingchao's son did have some toys.
At this time in his previous life, Shi Zhen was rich, but Shi Xingchao and his family were not wealthy, and Shi Dashan and his wife were still living in the mountains.
At that time, Shi Xingchao worked on the construction site, and Fang Miyan cooked on the construction site... This child was brought to the construction site by her parents every day, and she was covered in dust and dirt every day.
But this life is different.
Shi Xingchao is still working as a sweater collector and distributor, and also runs a small shop. Fang Miyan sells wontons and other things at a stall in town. Most of the time, the child stays in Guanjia Village with Shi Xingchao. At least she is clean and tidy.
Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Shi have been running a stall for a long time and have a lot of money. They only have this one grandson, so how could they really let their grandson have nothing? The two of them have bought their grandson clothes and shoes quite a lot.
In addition, Shi Xinghuo also liked this nephew very much and would buy him things from time to time.
Even Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun would always stuff things into the child's mouth.
This child lacks nothing and is well-fed and chubby.
The next day, Shi Zhen went to Anshan Town.
The demolition issue is still under negotiation. Many families are dissatisfied with the demolition compensation, but Shi Zhen doesn't care and signed the papers directly.
Then he told Shi Dalin and the others to stay in Changxi City.
The house across from Zhao Qiujuan doesn't need to be bought by Shi Dalin and his family; he has already bought it and is renovating it. Shi Dalin and his family can move in directly in a few months.
Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun both agreed.
Many rural people of their age feel that taking care of their children's children is a matter of course, even a necessary thing to do, and they are full of expectations... Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun are like that.
However, Shi Dashan and his group didn't really want to go to Changxi City, thinking that this place was quite nice.
But Shi Xingchao became very interested after hearing Shi Zhen talk about managing the property... He agreed, and Shi Dashan and the others agreed as well.
As for Shi Xingxing and her husband...
Shi Zhen had previously registered a decoration company and handed it over to them to manage; they had already moved to Changxi City long ago.
“You can sell your houses here and buy in Changxi City… I have a few houses there; if you want to buy them, I’ll give you a 20% discount,” Shi Zhen said.
He sold his house to Zhao Qiujuan at a 20% discount.
“No need, we can just buy another one. We don’t need to sell this house,” Shi Xingchao said without hesitation.
Shi Zhen was somewhat surprised. After all, Shi Xingchao was a staunch non-buyer of houses in his previous life. Why did he suddenly want to buy a house in this life?
Shi Xingchao said, "Renting out this house will bring in money!"
Before, Shi Xingchao really thought that buying a house was useless.
It's better to save money than to have it.
But after they built the house... the property prices kept rising, and most importantly... the rent for the shops below their house increased year by year!
In addition, Shi Zhen had told him many times that money would become worthless in the future and that house prices would rise... Now he is willing to buy a house.
It's just... they don't want to sell the house.
"Okay, then that's settled." Shi Zhen laughed, and casually pinched the cheek of Shi Xingchao, the son who had run to his feet.
This child is completely different from the one in his previous life...
Her face was so tender.
Unfortunately, he pinched her and then ran away to play with Guan Baiyu.
After talking with Shi Xingchao, Shi Zhen took Guan Baiyu back to Changxi City.
Once in the car, Guan Baiyu grabbed Shi Zhen's hand: "Brother, you went too far! You actually laid a hand on someone!"
Shi Zhen: "Huh? Is that so?"
Guan Baiyu laughed: "So I've decided... to get physical with you too!" As he spoke, he pinched Shi Zhen's cheek.
Shi Zhen: "...Naughty!"
However... he really liked Guan Baiyu's energetic appearance!
It's a pity there are too many people on the road, so it's not a good time to kiss... He'll try to get physical with Guan Baiyu when he gets back.
It's his duty to appease a jealous lover.
