"How is this my business?" Shen Huanxi asked, then responded, "Oh, yes, Chen Shuisheng!"

If she wanted to win the quarry project, she had to deal with two main competitors, Luo Bo and Su Liming.

The backer behind Luo Bo is Chen Shuisheng.

Zhang Baozhu was a little surprised to see Shen Huanxi's reaction.

"Did Comrade Xiao tell you when he did these things?"

"No." Shen Huanxi shook his head.

"He didn't even tell you that he helped you expand sea buckthorn cultivation?"

"No." Shen Huanxi shook her head again. She just asked Xiao Shanhe to help her manage the sea buckthorn juice business, and only let him supervise when he was free. After all, her colleagues were there.

Xiao Shanhe is a disabled person, and she didn't want him to overwork himself. However, he actually did so much for her, even better than she could do herself.

Zhang Baozhu smiled.

"You are a good comrade, and Comrade Xiao is also a good comrade. When your business is on the rise and you are bidding for such a critical project, you can still put these aside and put Comrade Xiao's treatment first, and you may even lose the opportunity to expand your business.

But Comrade Xiao is worthy of your efforts. Look, he is willing to do so much for you. I heard that he has no interest in doing business, but this time he cares more than anyone else and does such a good job for you. In order to let you have no worries when you go to the provincial capital, he didn't even tell you in advance.

Although both of you are remarried and have re-formed your family, I think you deserve it, and so does he. Your marriage is something that many people envy, it's like a match made in heaven..."

Perhaps out of emotion, Zhang Baozhu said a lot.

Shen Huanxi looked at her expression, saw the envy in her eyes, and reached out and patted the back of her hand.

"Baozhu, who says a second marriage is not happier than the first? I am the best example. After you get rid of Chen Shuisheng, you can pursue love and start your next marriage. You are such a good person, you will definitely find the right person to spend your life with."

"Then I'll borrow your good words. You are a blessed person. We are good friends. I hope your good fortune can be passed on to me."

"Well, all the blessings will be passed on to you." Shen Huanxi saw the hopeful smile on Zhang Baozhu's face and smiled too.

She also hopes that her friends can live well.

"Oh, by the way, Baozhu, I almost forgot to ask you, you have so much evidence, have you divorced?"

"Not yet." Zhang Baozhu shook her head.

"Why don't you leave yet?" Shen Huanxi didn't understand.

Zhang Baozhu has been tortured by Chen Shuisheng for so many years, and has always wanted to divorce and has been worried about divorce. Now that there is such a good opportunity, why is she still dragging her feet?

"I have to repay Comrade Xiao. Although he found these evidences to help you deal with Luo Bo, he also helped me. So Comrade Xiao came to talk to me later, and I decided to postpone the divorce. As for the specific plan, since it involves the bidding for the quarry, I think it would be better for you to go back and ask Comrade Xiao. He knows better than me. Oh, there is one more thing I almost forgot to tell you."

"What is it?"

"It's Comrade Xiao's ex-wife Lan Linxiang. Are you familiar with her?"

"She... isn't very familiar to me." Shen Huanxi couldn't say that she was reborn and was very familiar with Lan Linxiang.

And it's also weird that she says she is very familiar with her husband's ex-wife.

"I'm not familiar with her. I did hear some things. I heard that she and her current husband are not living in harmony. She and her husband have had several disagreements over child-rearing and business matters, and she also can't handle the relationship with her brother-in-law. Her husband is very disappointed in her and wanted to take back some of her power in the company a few months ago.

Because of this, she panicked. In order to prove that she had the ability to help the Su family, she did a lot of dirty things and even cooperated with some gangsters. Aren't there many people who also have their eyes on the quarry you're interested in?

That Lan Linxiang, the Su family obviously has connections in the Investment Promotion Bureau, but in order to prove that she can get this project without relying on the Su family's connections, she actually found some hooligans to threaten those who also had their eyes on the project. Do you think this woman is bad..."

"Turns out it was her..." Shen Huanxi thought of the gangster who blocked him and threatened him in the alley that day.

She also told Xiao Shanhe at the time that it could be anyone who found those people, Luo Bo, Lan Linxiang, or someone else, it wouldn't be strange.

The result is orchid fragrance.

Shen Huanxi frowned in thought while Zhang Baozhu continued talking.

"There are quite a few people in my circle who know Lan Linxiang. Lan Linxiang always thinks that her second marriage is better than her first. I don't think so. Isn't it good for Comrade Xiao to think about his wife all the time? Comrade Xiao and you don't have any conflicts.

Comrade Lan, what's the point of marrying a rich man? You still won't be happy. The men in the Su family are rich, but in reality, how can Su Liming really like Lan Linxiang? Isn't it because he thinks it's good for him to marry Lan Linxiang? So, Lan Linxiang didn't perform well, and the two of them had conflicts.

I remember meeting Lan Linxiang when she just married Su Liming. She was really young, beautiful and glamorous then. Now when I see her again, she looks very old and doesn't even look like a lady anymore. Sometimes it's really bad for a woman if she chooses the wrong man."

"Yeah." Shen Huanxi nodded.

She recalled the day she met Lan Linxiang and how haggard she looked. At first she thought she was busy with her business, but now she realized that she had been through so much and that her situation in the Su family was like that.

It's not anyone else's fault. It was she who gave up Xiao Shanhe and chose Su Liming.

Su Liming is a very realistic man who only cares about etiquette. He even treats marriage as a business and calculates profits and losses. Could he marry Lan Linxiang just because of love?

Of course, there are many reasons why Shen Huanxi feels that Su Liming is not as good as Xiao Shanhe. The most important one is not only that Xiao Shanhe is really good to his wife, but also because of his ideals and aspirations. He was born in this land and is concerned about this country.

He is willing to devote the rest of his life to building his hometown and his motherland. Just based on this sincere and innocent heart, the businessman Su Liming cannot compare to him.

"Shanhe also has evidence that Lan Linxiang is colluding with gangsters?" Shen Huanxi suddenly thought of something.

Zhang Baozhu chuckled.

"You finally asked this question. I think you are tired after going to the provincial capital. You are confused and can't grasp the key points after coming back. Don't worry, I am telling you this now. Comrade Xiao must have obtained evidence. However, the evidence cannot be used now. Comrade Xiao said that it should be used at the right time... Oh, time is running out. If you are away for too long, will your family look for you?"

When Shen Huanxi heard this, she looked at her watch and realized that she had indeed stayed in the teahouse for too long.

It seems that Zhang Baozhu and Xiao Shanhe were in close contact during this period, and Zhang Baozhu had second-hand information from Xiao Shanhe. Shen Huanxi felt that if he wanted to know something, it would be better to go back to Xiao Shanhe, so he parted ways with Zhang Baozhu.

After returning home, I chatted with Xiao Shanhe and learned that Xiao Shanhe did not let Zhang Baozhu get a divorce now, nor did he expose Lan Linxiang's affairs now, because he wanted to "use the best steel on the blade."

On the day of the bidding conference, Luo Bo was arrested by the police just because he walked up to Shen Huanxi and said that women could not do business. Chen Shuisheng was also arrested in front of many people at the bidding conference. The charges were engaging in illegal activities, bribery, and collusion between officials and businessmen.

Lan Linxiang worked hard for a long time just to prove her ability to Su Liming. When she met Shen Huanxi at the bidding meeting, she even ran over to chat with Shen Huanxi.

She didn't dare talk about her children. No matter whether it was Shen Huanxi's own two daughters or her two stepchildren, Shen Huanxi raised them better and more outstandingly than she did.

Lan Linxiang then talked about her husband. She had been in anxiety after marrying Su Liming, and always liked to compare herself with Shen Huanxi, eager to prove that she married Shen Huanxi well, so she went to Shen Huanxi and told him how good her life was after marriage.

As a result, when it was hot and Xiao Shanhe came with a thermos to bring hot tea to Shen Huanxi, Su Liming happened to come. He said with a stern face that Lan Linxiang had put too much energy into the quarry project and delayed other things. He made Lan Linxiang lose face in front of Shen Huanxi and Xiao Shanhe on the spot.

This was not enough. After a while, the police came and arrested her directly on charges of colluding with hooligans and provoking trouble.

Due to a series of operations by Luo Bo, Chen Shuisheng and Lan Linxiang before, many competitors of this project were scared away, and among those who insisted on bidding, only Shen Huanxi was the most powerful.

Moreover, Shen Huanxi and Zhao Mingyue met the quarry workers on the day they went to buy train tickets. They talked a lot that day, which resonated deeply with the female workers and their female families. After bidding for the quarry, they would be responsible for the employment of the quarry workers. Those women all supported Shen Huanxi, so they went to the scene together on the day of the bidding meeting to support Shen Huanxi.

Under the dual influence of objective conditions and public opinion, this project fell into Shen Huanxi's hands. Shen Huanxi finally understood what "good steel is used on the blade" meant. Isn't this it?

Later, the sentencing results of Luo Bo, Chen Shuisheng and Lan Linxiang were announced. The three were sentenced to three years, five years and two years respectively.

Although it didn't take long, Jiang Xiaomei and Zhang Baozhu finally succeeded in their divorce, and with the help of Xiao Shanhe, they both took away a large part of the assets, and Chen Shuisheng was almost left with nothing.

Later, after Lan Linxiang was released from prison, she received a divorce agreement from Su Liming. Of course, this is a story for later.

…

After the quarry was taken over, Shen Huanxi's sea buckthorn business was in full swing. Of course, she did not forget that her most important task was to prevent and control sand. She was a member of the Three Norths and she could not forget her original intention.

She will devote all her passion to the vigorous cause of sand prevention.

The Three Norths Project spanned two centuries, a full sixty to seventy years. In the early stages, it had no economic benefits at all. Many predecessors sacrificed their lives and devoted their lives to this great cause.

The Three Norths Project is great, and these predecessors are also great.

Shen Huanxi's power is limited. She can only try her best to contribute to the construction of this project and use her own strength to try her best to help every person in the Three Norths, so that more people in the Three Norths will no longer be simple sacrifices when building the Three Norths project. Therefore, she must strive to prevent and resist sand while developing economic benefits.

She arranged all the plans. She wanted to grow not only sea buckthorn, but also apples and medicinal herbs...

At the same time, Xiao Shanhe's trip to the United States for medical treatment was also arranged.

The doctor examined him and said it would take him a year to recover.

In the long journey of life, a year is not very long, and Shen Huanxi insisted that he go for treatment as soon as possible.

During this year, she traveled back and forth to the United States many times. She needed to take care of her husband, but she also couldn't give up her career.

Fortunately, Xiao Shanhe helped her recruit two important generals, Pan Jianguo and Chen Wenfang, who helped Shen Huanxi a lot, so that she no longer had to worry about anything and could travel between China and the United States without worry, and could also take her four children out to see the world.

At this time in his previous life, the country's medical conditions were not as advanced as they are today, and could not yet catch up with the world's best. Therefore, Xiao Shanhe's legs had not received systematic treatment, but he could still stand up with difficulty and walk independently with the help of crutches.

He was sent abroad to seek professional medical treatment, and he was finally able to stand up! It only took him a year, and he was able to walk briskly like a normal person, as if he had never been injured.

After he recovered, he returned to the institute and devoted himself to the pursuit of his life.

Sometimes, the couple would sit together in the study at home. Shen Huanxi would draw drawings and make further vegetation planting plans, while Xiao Shanhe would draw his design drawings.

Neither of them spoke, but they felt an indescribable comfort and tacit understanding with each other.

Shen Huanxi was very bored that day and suddenly asked Xiao Shanhe whether he had fallen in love with her after being married for so long, or whether he was so nice to her just because he thought they were a good match.

Xiao Shanhe told her a story.

He said that he once had a dream, in which he spent decades in the future devoting his entire life to orbital power. He achieved many results and was well-known in the industry. However, before he achieved success, many people did not understand him. They all said that he could have chosen a better path, but he chose such a difficult path.

But that was his passion.

In addition to dreaming of many people's misunderstanding, he also dreamed that there was a woman he had only met once who understood him, encouraged him, and appreciated him. That affirmation was the motivation that supported him during a very difficult period.

The woman could understand his innocent heart in fighting for his motherland, but that was something few people could understand in an era when many people were chasing fame and fortune.

Later, he tried hard to find the woman, just wanting to thank her in person, but unfortunately when he found her, she had already passed away and was all alone, so he attended her funeral as a way to repay her for her support.

Shen Huanxi was stunned when he heard Xiao Shanhe's dream...

Isn’t that the strange woman in Xiao Shanhe’s dream her?

When she died in her previous life, Chang'an Changning had already passed away. She was alone and helpless, with no one to see her off. In the end, it was Xiao Shanhe...

She was reborn in this life, and she couldn't figure out why he would do these things for her when they were not related. Now she realized that she had encouraged and affirmed him when she met him by chance.

And he kept remembering it.

Shen Huanxi knows that she is a person who respects dreams very much. She respects her own dreams and also respects the dreams of others.

She thought and thought, trying hard to recall, and finally she remembered that in her previous life, when she was thirty years old, she did meet a man in a teahouse. At that time, he was drawing something on a paper, and people around him whispered that he could obviously make money but insisted on holding on to something illusory. At that time, she did casually say that she supported him.

After all, that matter was too small and played only a tiny role in Shen Huanxi's life, so she quickly forgot about it. Now, after hearing what Xiao Shanhe said, she reluctantly remembered it.

No wonder when she saw Xiao Shanhe for the first time in this life, she felt he looked familiar even though they had never met before. It turned out that they had indeed met in their previous life.

The kindness she said casually in her previous life determined his future in that life and also determined their fate in this life.

Shen Huanxi finally understood the cause and effect of this.

"Huanxi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Shanhe asked when he saw Shen Huanxi looking dazed.

Shen Huanxi came to his senses and shook his head quickly.

"I have nothing...but I also have something. So, when I went to the provincial capital to find a travel agency more than a year ago, you helped me take care of the sea buckthorn business. It was not because it was my business, but because what I was doing was contributing to the motherland? What you were thinking about in your heart was the motherland, right!?" Shen Huanxi thought of what Xiao Shanhe said, and she understood his "innocent heart".

Xiao Shanhe chuckled.

"Why wouldn't you want to? Even though we are in different fields, we have the same aspirations, so we can better understand each other, support each other, accompany each other and live together?"

When Shen Huanxi heard what Xiao Shanhe said, he was suddenly stunned.

Yes, they all love this land and are willing to devote the rest of their lives to their motherland. It is because they have such sincere hearts that they can be together for a long time and be suitable for each other.

Why should she care about his starting point? After all, no matter what his starting point was, it showed that he really loved her, understood her, and supported her.

It's because they are the same people.

How fortunate we are to have someone we love and understand in this life, to have ideals and ambitions, and to have the opportunity to realize them.

Shen Huan loves her children, her home, and the land beneath her feet. She has been working hard for these things, and therefore her life is shining.

So is Xiao Shanhe.

In this life, Shen Huanxi made many correct choices.

She always felt that the most correct thing she did was to choose Xiao Shanhe.

Only by choosing her, they can become even more shining.

Shen Huanxi held Xiao Shanhe's hand, and the couple smiled at each other. They were lucky and worthwhile to have each other in this life.
