Chapter 033 Chapter 33
Chapter 33
The M City Government is auctioning the land mainly because the general election is coming the year after next, and the land auctioned can bring a prosperous economy to the local area for at least one or two years.
Although it may seem like one or two years is a little short, it is fine as long as it fits his political cycle.
The mayor of City M is now in his last term in the city. He was re-elected in previous terms. He has reached the last term stipulated by the Constitution, so he naturally wants to gain enough capital and work towards the next level.
The land being auctioned this time is his stepping stone.
His political achievements must be good, and the city government must have enough funds to improve the lives of citizens. When the time comes for elections, he will be welcomed wherever he goes with the endorsement of these achievements.
For this purpose, the mayor created quite a lot of hype for this land auction, attracting various real estate giants.
The more people bid, the more it comes. It's not excessive for the special economic zone of City M to produce several land kings at once.
But even if the mayor had imagined the best case scenario, he would not have dared to imagine the current situation.
The mayor looked at the young man below with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Mr. Mayor, Mr. Xie arrived here by private plane an hour before the auction. According to what I know, it was Mr. Shen Guofu's son, Mr. Xie's junior fellow apprentice, who sent a message to Mr. Xie, and that's why Mr. Xie suddenly came to the auction."
The secretary whispered to the mayor.
The mayor looked at Xie Yuanzhi below, his mouth corners were harder to suppress than AK, but he said in a steady voice: "Shen Guofu is the real estate developer who has become famous recently? It seems that his harvest today will be like that of a farmer in autumn."
The secretary secretly complained in his heart: "Mr. Mayor, you didn't have any impression of Shen Guofu before."
But it is obvious that politicians can throw their shameless faces on the ground at any time and anywhere, and the mayor is no exception. He walked up to the podium with a smile.
He kept his figure very well, which formed a sharp contrast with some of the citizens who came to join in the fun, making many people feel good about him.
A politician who knows how to manage his body will always have a much higher support rate than a politician with a big belly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the auction in City M..."
The mayor smiled as he spoke his opening words and gave his speech, closely linking the development of the entire city of M with this auction, and the group he was targeting was quite precise.
This auction has two main purposes. One is his political achievements, and the other is to make these businessmen take more money out of their pockets.
Therefore, the mayor's speech closely followed the two key points of the economic prosperity of City M and the city's welfare, which immediately won the hearts of the citizens and businessmen present.
The mayor's eyes lit up when he saw the young man below whispering a few words to the boy next to him and then taking out a new auction card.
"Mr. Mayor, it seems that Mr. Xie is quite optimistic about the development of the M City you mentioned."
The secretary complimented him subtly.
The mayor smiled, his expression unchanged, but he was still a little nervous after the auction began.
——Until Mr. Xie bought three pieces of land in one go.
It was the first time that the secretary saw the mayor smiling so happily.
After all, this mayor, who pays great attention to his personal image, even showed his crow's feet when he laughed.
*
“Mr. Xie, you…” Shen Guofu watched Xie Yuanzhi whisper a few words to his son and then took three pieces of land in one breath. Others knew that it must be his son who said something. He first glared at Shen Nanye fiercely, and then he was a little at a loss.
"Dad, I didn't ask my senior brother to buy land for me. It was my senior brother who was willing to do so." Shen Nanye explained with a smile, not taking Shen Guofu's light glare to heart at all.
"I knew you were messing around with that online shopping platform of yours again. Do you think your dad doesn't understand? Now the online shopping platforms have divided into three parts. The remaining ones are all losing money. Each one is throwing billions at you. If you want to play around, your dad will set you up in a local area. At least our family can afford the losses. But you want to expand to the whole country in one go. Aren't you waiting to lose our entire family business?"
It's not that Shen Guofu doesn't support his son, but the idea proposed by his son is really outrageous. Even if he, as a father, has a thick filter, he can't give away his entire family business.
After finally persuading his son to come back, he thought that the little bastard had finally given up on taking action, but who would have thought that he would turn around and ask his senior brother for investment.
Shen Guofu really wanted to pull Shen Nanye over and slap him on the butt a few times.
Shen Nanye obviously knew about the Xie family's affairs, so why did he bother his senior brother at this time?
It was still unknown what the Xie family's attitude towards Xie Yuanzhi was. If such a large amount of money was sent out and Xie Yuanzhi had difficulty in making a living in the Xie family, Shen Guofu would have to slap himself in the face even if he died.
Seeing that Shen Guofu's eyes were becoming more and more unfriendly, Shen Nanye quietly shrank behind Xie Yuanzhi and asked his senior brother to help him block the fierce gaze of his own father.
“Uncle Shen, it’s okay. These pieces of land are not a big deal. I came here just to relax. It’s useless to buy a few pieces of land and leave them there. It’s just right to give them to Nan Ye. Just think of it as my support for him. Of course, if the business fails, this kid has to come and work for me.”
Xie Yuanzhi explained that these pieces of land were not a big deal for the Xie family, and then, after seeing that Shen Guofu still had an embarrassed look on his face, he rubbed Shen Nanye’s head like a puppy as a joke.
"Ah! Brother, my hairstyle! I just spent thousands of dollars on this hairstyle!"
Ana Shen yelled fiercely, but still didn’t move away from behind Xie Yuanzhi.
Shen Guofu felt relieved when he saw the two brothers playing around. Although he felt a little jealous of Xie Yuanzhi's relaxed look as if he was buying a piece of land, Shen Guofu felt relieved knowing that this incident had no impact on Xie Yuanzhi.
But the look he gave Ana Shen was still somewhat unfriendly.
"Let this kid go for now. When he fails, he will know what shame is. Fortunately, the Shen family can afford these pieces of land."
Shen Guofu comforted himself in this way, but when he saw those pieces of land, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Shen Guofu was happy, but the four families who were also at the scene and saw the two brothers fighting were not very friendly in their eyes.
The four families of Li, Zhao, Zhou and Sun were sitting in their seats. They came as representatives of local real estate developers, so they were sitting in the second row and could just see Shen Guofu sitting in the second row.
——And Xie Yuanzhi who made them grit their teeth.
The last time they met, he had defeated them with just a few casual words.
This time, they just raised their hands a few times and took the land they liked.
He didn't even look up at them.
In the past, these four families might have just gotten by like that, the gap between them and the Xie family is really too big.
But the current Xie Yuanzhi is not a genuine member of the Xie family. Seeing that Xie Yuanzhi was still calm, the four families gritted their teeth.
It's a pity that the Xie family did not formally introduce the authentic Xie family bloodline, but it is not entirely true to say that they do not value it. After all, the Xie family bloodline is now studying various courses, as if he wants to make up for all the educational resources of the past few decades.
But if he valued it, why did Xie Yuanzhi still occupy an important position in the group, and no one objected? Even the current head of the Xie family personally took Xie Yuanzhi to the group several times.
When these four companies saw the intelligence sent back from the capital, they felt like their brain CPUs were about to burn out.
They judge others by themselves and think that if their children are not their blood, they will definitely not provide so many resources. No matter how outstanding the child is, they will not let the child continue to stay in the company.
Could it be that the person in charge of the Xie family is trying to win over Xie Yuanzhi and make him work for the real bloodline of the Xie family?
After all, if you want to inherit the Xie Group, you must have the blood of the Xie family.
But now it seems that Xie Yuanzhi has ample funds - he even has enough spare money to buy a piece of land for his junior brother and let him do whatever he wants.
Zhou's father looked at Shen Guofu's hypocritical excuses and Shen Nanye's shameless smugness, and wished that it was his son who was in that position now.
"Go home and encourage that kid to study hard! Not to mention bringing back an investor like Xie Yuanzhi to the Zhou family, at least you have to get along well with the brothers. Now he hangs out with a bunch of bad friends every day..."
The other three families also made grinding sounds. It seemed that those four students would be in trouble again when they got home.
When no one noticed, Xie Yuanzhi and Shen Nanye glanced at the four places at the same time.
'It seems like there is still some money to be made from these four companies?'
No matter how angry those four families were, all those plots of land were taken by Xie Yuanzhi. They could only watch Xie Yuanzhi reap great rewards at the auction, and was even invited by the mayor to the stage to give a speech as a representative of outstanding businessmen.
Xie Yuanzhi also seemed to be quite adapted to the occasion, and his official speech made him sound more like a politician than the mayor next to him.
——He even praised the mayor subtly in his words, and the secretary beside him was so green-eyed when he saw this. He had not cultivated to this level!
Gu Benti writes materials for the leaders every day. Fortunately, he received the certificate of outstanding citizen awarded by the mayor with a smile. Although it is only an honorary title, it is quite interesting.
In the eyes of outsiders, the handsome young man and the mayor standing together directly became the headline of the next day's newspaper.
[Woohoo! The host is pretty good. He has triggered a wave of emotions just after returning. He is only a little bit away from the cheapest special product.]
The next day, 777 said happily as he watched the heated discussions on the local network.
[It seems I have to work harder, Xiaoqi, has the mission been updated? ]
Gu Youxing asked with his eyes closed while sitting in the car on the way back.
[Yes, host, but this mission may be a bit difficult. ]
There was embarrassment in 777's voice, but then it turned into joy.
[But it shouldn't be a big problem for you, the host from the doomsday world. The moral bottom line of the hosts in other worlds is too high, but it's no problem for you, the host. ]
777 sent the task list directly to Gu Youxing.
[Mission: [Frame the protagonist and make him suffer]]
Gu Youxing narrowed his eyes as he looked at the line of words in front of him.
[Xiao Qi, is this how I look to you? ]
Gu Youxing's voice sounded aggrieved and a little pitiful, which immediately made 777 panic.
[Not the host, that’s not what I meant…]
Before 777 could finish his explanation, Gu Youxing's pitiful tone instantly changed back.
He smiled and said: "Yes, I am."
*
When Zhu Fengxin welcomed Xie Yuanzhi in, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and his words became more intimate.
"I've already told you not to bring anything for me when you go out. Isn't it good to have some money to keep yourself safe? I don't need anything."
Although he said so, the joy on Zhu Fengxin's face when he took the earrings was unfaithful.
"Mom bought it when she saw it was suitable for her. You see, I didn't buy it for Dad." Xie Yuanzhi said with a smile as he took off his scarf.
"By the way, aren't you going home for lunch today?" Zhu Fengxin took Xie Yuanzhi's scarf and hung it on the hanger beside him, and asked with some concern.
Yu Caiwei has experienced enough of Xie Yuanzhi's maternal love during this period. Although Yu Caiwei does not seem to have any aggressive power, she can still hear the sarcasm in her tone.
but……
Zhu Fengxin looked at her son, who was tall and handsome, even better looking than the stars on TV, and whose naturally likable personality made her think that if she had raised such a son since childhood, she would not be willing to give him up.
This thought made Zhu Fengxin subconsciously lower her head to Yu Caiwei. Such a good son actually gave her half. She now felt like she was dreaming.
"Mom and Dad are at the company right now. There's a tailoring meeting with the mayor and others at noon today, so I came here first."
Xie Yuanzhi spoke lightly, suppressing Zhu Fengxin's uneasiness.
Jiang Zhiyuan was still a little reserved, and even stuttered when he said hello, but when he received a beautiful princess dress, he softened his tone unconsciously.
"This skirt is quite expensive, right? I'll transfer it to you for how much it costs."
Xie Yuanzhi waved his hand and said, "That's for Xinxin, not for you. Tangtang and Tiantian have the same ones. Next time the three sisters go out to play together, we can wear the same clothes. But I don't know any places around the capital that are suitable for children to play. Can I ask my sister-in-law to help prepare them?"
Of course Jiang Zhiyuan nodded. He had been promoted to a better position thanks to his relationship with the Xie family. He had been worrying about how to repay the Xie family.
The gift for Xie Qisheng had been prepared long ago, but he was worried about what gift to thank Xie Yuanzhi for. Fortunately, Xie Yuanzhi gave him an excuse and he would send it over together with the gift for the trip.
"Okay Zhiyuan, stop saying those sour words and come over to eat. The grain pigs we slaughtered today are much better than the feed pigs you can eat."
Zhu Fengxin clapped his hands and called his two sons to come over for dinner.
"Today, when I was collecting pigs, I bought a food-producing pig from a fellow villager next to the farm. The family originally wanted to keep it for themselves, but I paid them generously and they knew me, so they sold the pig."
As Zhu Fengxin was speaking, Jiang Facai came out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on his apron and sitting down next to the table with an awkward smile.
Jiang Facai is the shyest one in the family of three, and Xie Yuanzhi is considerate of Jiang Facai. He never forcefully pulls Jiang Facai into the topic from beginning to end, which makes Jiang Facai feel relieved, and he keeps putting the meat on the public chopsticks into Xie Yuanzhi's bowl.
Xie Yuanzhi was not pretentious. He would eat what he could, and if he couldn't, he would say he was almost full.
Jiang Zhiyuan was also persuading his father, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite good.
It was not until Xie Yuanzhi left with a lot of food in big and small bags that the family of three all had smiles on their faces.
Following the principle that the person who cooks does not have to wash the dishes, Jiang Zhiyuan was instructed to put the dishes into the dishwasher, while Zhu Fengxin sat in front of the counter, took the rag and wiped the table.
Jiang Facai sat in his original position, feeling a little idle for a moment. When people are idle, some thoughts will unconsciously appear in their minds.
"Feng Xin, should we send some meat to Ping An as well?"
As soon as Jiang Facai said this, Zhu Fengxin stopped wiping the table and started wiping it again.
"What are you sending? Didn't you just ask Yuanzhi to bring some back to him? He can have it at dinner time."
Zhu Fengxin said indifferently.
"Aren't I afraid that Ping An might have some complaints?"
Jiang Facai rubbed his thighs nervously with his hands, and there was some embarrassment in his tone.
However, this sentence directly ignited Zhu Fengxin's anger. She threw the rag on the table, put her hands on her hips and started cursing.
"What can he have any opinion about! He has only come back once in a month. He didn't reply to our WeChat messages. If I ask him, he is studying. If he is really studying, it's fine. He has time to have dinner with Xie's family every day, but he doesn't have time to reply to our WeChat messages, right?"
Zhu Fengxin's eyes sparkled as he spoke, "I know you're saying I'm biased, Jiang Facai, but look at what Yuanzhi did, and then look at Ping An. I'm not telling Ping An to learn from Yuanzhi, but at least reply to our WeChat messages. I'm not saying anything soft, but replying to WeChat messages will really make it difficult for him!"
When Jiang Facai saw his wife like this, he was suddenly at a loss, but he was not good at speaking, so he could only walk around the table in circles.
Jiang Zhiyuan stayed in the kitchen, carefully arranging the dishes one by one, as quiet as if he were dead.
If he goes out now, he will be the one to be scolded.
"Dad, I'd rather die than let my friend die, so you can go with peace of mind."
Jiang Zhiyuan thought to himself.
But he also agreed with his mother.
Not to mention that Jiang Ping'an is like Xie Yuanzhi, who comes every few days to bring some fruits and gifts or something, he should at least come back. Besides, with Jiang Ping'an's current status, can calling a driver over take his life?
Although Xie Yuanzhi didn't tell them what he was going to do in City M, they were tactful enough not to ask. After all, they were not that close. But when Xie Yuanzhi came back, he brought a gift for his mother!
Now, if I don’t reply to WeChat messages, I am studying, and I have time to accompany Yu Caiwei to choose jewelry.
My mother has never been treated like this since she was a child!
Outside, Zhu Fengxin was still complaining: "...I know that Ping An and Yuan Zhi shouldn't be compared together, but Ping An can't even compare to Zhi Yuan! Xin Xin goes back to her grandmother's house, and he comes over every few days. Isn't Zhi Yuan busy? Why is he so busy!"
"When Yuan Zhi first saw me, I was embarrassed, but he came to my rescue first. He is still the child!"
Jiang Facai walked around the table faster. He was also the one present. At that time, Zhu Fengxin casually said that his name sounded unsophisticated, and Yuan Zhi praised his wife's name for being nice, saying something like "the young phoenix is newer than the old phoenix."
He didn't understand what it meant until he got home and realized that it was a compliment. He was also happy. Who wouldn't be happy to be praised?
But think about it, Jiang Pingan was there at that time, and he really didn't say a word.
Finally, Zhu Fengxin vented his emotions, picked up the rag on the table and started to wipe the table. Jiang Facai was afraid that he would be an eyesore to Zhu Fengxin if he was idle, so he turned on the mop at home and started mopping the floor.
All of this was captured by the surveillance cameras installed by the Jiang family themselves.
[Host, the Jiang family is quarreling. ]
777 said with a cheerful tone.
The monitoring certainly cannot be shown to the host, after all, it violates the rules of the system, but providing a little intelligence is not a big problem.
[Because of the comparison between me and Jiang Pingan? ]
Gu was lucky enough to sit in a luxury car. The driver in front of him wore white gloves. The car drove fast and steadily. There was no disgusting smell of cigarettes in the car, only a faint and pleasant bamboo fragrance.
This car belongs to Xie Yuanzhi as a means of transportation, so everything on the car is designed according to Xie Yuanzhi's preferences, including the driver's appearance and the incense in the car.
[As expected of the host, you guessed it right. 】
777 said happily: [The Jiang family is very dissatisfied with Jiang Pingan now, host, this is your chance. ]
Gu Youxing said calmly: [It's just a momentary dissatisfaction. It's Jiang Pingan who has lived in the Jiang family for more than 20 years, not Xie Yuanzhi. Just like the Xie family treats Xie Yuanzhi better than Jiang Pingan, feelings are not something that can be replaced in one or two months.]
[Then host, your efforts have been in vain, haven't you? ]
777 said a little dazedly.
[There is no such thing as wasted effort in relationships. Besides, my target is not the emotional values of the Jiang family. The fluctuations are too small.]
Gu Youxing tilted his head and looked out the window and said: [Jiang Pingan, no, Xie Pingyuan is the protagonist of this world, isn't he? ]
777 understood instantly: [Xie Pingyuan must be angry when he saw his home was robbed. With his explosive personality, he will definitely make a scene! ]
777 said excitedly.
[This is a good way to complete the task! I just framed Xie Pingyuan and he didn't even know about it.]
[The income is too little, if you want to complete the task, you need to be perfect.] Gu Youxing said.
【？ 】
Gu Youxing clicked on the three plots of land that had been auctioned before on his mobile phone and clicked on one of the agricultural lands.
[The several tasks I completed in the ancient world before seemed to have accelerated the progress of world integration? ]
777 sent a check mark without knowing what was going on.
Gu Youxing narrowed his eyes.
[The leader of the main body has been parachuted into the Environmental Observation Bureau and is now worried about his performance. ]
*
"M City, huh? Oh, Xiao Gu, you've worked so hard. Why are you still worrying about this when you can go out and study and have fun? I know you're a very reliable kid. Don't worry, I'll definitely remember this achievement for you. We can talk about it face to face later."
Yang Lishan hung up the phone and retrieved the environmental observation data of City M from the system.
One set of data highlighted in red made Yang Lishan's mouth curl up involuntarily. Then he coughed twice, pretending to be serious but a little panicked, and opened the door of the office.
"Call Dr. Miley over immediately, there are major changes in the space observation data!"
