Gu Zuozuo stopped focusing on them. Her company in Hong Kong was moving to invest in mainland China, which alarmed the higher-ups. Wang Erzhu even stormed into the Prince's Mansion.
"You still have the mood to grow flowers?"
Gu Zuozuo put down the small shovel in her hand and tilted her head to look at him.
"Otherwise what? What, you came here to help?"
You don't visit a temple without a reason; this guy's visit is definitely not for anything good.
Wang Erzhu touched his nose and handed her a document.
"You're really well-informed! The higher-ups just had the idea of opening up the economy, and you've already started making big moves."
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs-up.
"What's this? Is it another mission?"
She knew that the pass that would give her such power wouldn't be easy to obtain. Ever since she returned to the capital, this person from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs had been coming over every few days to give her tasks to choose from, and each one was something that ordinary people couldn't complete.
If it weren't for the generous reward, she wouldn't have bothered with him at all.
"How could that be? Am I that kind of person? Besides, you should take on responsibilities according to your abilities. Look at you, you've done a great job. By the way, what's going on between you and your parents? Why are they saying that they'll only have one adopted daughter in their lives?"
This news shocked countless people.
Others may not know, but the entire upper echelons of the capital are unaware of this young lady's abilities?
The fact that people kept sending their younger relatives out to wander aimlessly around the Prince's Mansion street during this period shows how much they valued her abilities.
If it weren't for the fact that this great-aunt's information had been personally upgraded to the highest level by Number Two before her death, her doorstep would probably have been worn down by suitors.
Even the tiny bit that leaked out was treasured by those people, who all wanted to take this pearl back to their own homes. Only the Gu family couple wished they could push her as far away as possible.
Gu Zuozuo smiled with relief; without expectations, there would be no disappointment.
"It's okay, even without parents, I am still me."
Wang Erzhu raised an eyebrow, it seemed there was something they outsiders didn't know.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Here's your reward from the last mission, want to see?"
Seeing that he was keeping her in suspense, Gu Zuozuo opened the door with curiosity.
"It's just land, right? Besides that, I don't know anything else... Holy crap! Echoing Mountain!"
Isn't this a royal park?
"Give me this mountain?"
Gu Zuozuo's big eyes sparkled.
"You wish! This is only a seventy-year operating right!"
Gu Zuozuo spread her hands, "I don't want it. I just want something that belongs entirely to me."
She has a strong possessive streak when it comes to her things. Even though she knows that the seventy-year operating rights can maximize her profits, she really doesn't want anything that doesn't belong to her in the end.
Imagine working so hard to build it into a 5A-level project, only to have it taken back after only a few years of making money—she wouldn't stand for that.
Wang Erzhu almost rolled his eyes in anger.
"You're not happy with the seventy-year usage right? I'm already twenty-four this year, and you'll be almost a hundred in seventy years. What are you reluctant to give up?"
"No, making money requires a large investment. I'm stingy, I'm frugal, I'm stingy."
She had already planned out the future themes of her industry.
Real estate is secondary; technology is primary.
She didn't just let all those high-tech gadgets she checked in sit in the space collecting dust; she had to make them serve their purpose, right?
Wang Erzhu laughed smugly and handed her another document.
"I told you, you definitely wouldn't like the Xiangshan plan, so I specially prepared another one for you."
"Knowing that your company is moving to the mainland is a big deal, and it's a huge boost to those of us who support economic opening up! This is the document that will allow you to move smoothly all the way."
"Old fox!"
I understand now. They're using her as an experimental subject, like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey, hoping she'll be used as a test subject, a stepping stone.
"Knowing you is the worst thing that could have happened to me in eight lifetimes."
When Wang Erzhu quit, where did he go wrong?
He had to clean up so many messes for this old lady, having to watch those greedy people cause her trouble while also talking himself hoarse to get her benefits.
Wang Erzhu felt wronged, but before he could speak, a translucent white pill appeared in front of him.
Gu Zuozuo's smiling voice came at the same time.
"High-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill, something you've been longing for for two years but haven't been able to obtain."
