Chapter 799 Strange Illness! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In 1986, Wu Aiguo's family spent the Mid-Autumn Festival at his father-in-law's house in the provincial capital.

As mentioned earlier, the success of buying up Hong Kong Island properties at rock-bottom prices helped his father-in-law advance further.

In recent years, my father-in-law has been in charge of implementing the major industrial projects acquired at rock-bottom prices in the industrial park of the provincial capital.

Because of this, Wu Aiguo's father-in-law made many phone calls to bother him.

There's nothing we can do about it; Wu Aiguo is just exceptionally good at this.

The industrial projects acquired within the county have all been implemented and have quickly commenced production, generating significant economic and social benefits.

Meanwhile, in the provincial capital, various unexpected situations kept arising during the implementation process, which greatly displeased the father-in-law.

Wu Aiguo was not surprised at all by this.

Everyone knows that these real estate projects acquired at rock-bottom prices, once implemented, will mean a continuous stream of wealth.

Moreover, it will create numerous jobs, generate other related benefits, and even elevate the overall economy of Jiangxi Province.

In this process, there are far too many forces trying to get a share of the pie.

Even forces from the capital city might extend their reach.

Wu Aiguo was quite accommodating to his father-in-law's request for advice.

If something can be explained clearly, then it should be explained without any ambiguity.

He knew that his father-in-law had shielded him from a lot of trouble.

The county's acquisition of real estate projects at rock-bottom prices was implemented quickly and generated huge economic benefits, which naturally attracted some greed.

My father-in-law helped me out, blocking a lot of such people.

This would save Wu Aiguo a lot of trouble.

Although he is not afraid of those who reach out for money, less trouble might be a good thing for him and the county.

And so, he gave his father-in-law the best reward.

If we can help my father-in-law complete the acquisition of real estate at rock-bottom prices as soon as possible, his status will be completely different.

To ensure his father-in-law had the energy and health to work, he brought out his own concoction of the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill" made with spiritual spring water.

Sure enough, when I saw my father-in-law and mother-in-law again after half a year, they were in very good spirits and physical condition.

Obviously, they weren't foolish enough to give all the supplementary pills made with spiritual spring water to their children and grandchildren.

What a joke! If his brothers-in-law didn't even have this much sense, Wu Aiguo would have to consider completely severing ties with them.

The father-in-law is the towering tree of the Shen family!

As for the eldest and second brothers-in-law, the Shi Quan Da Bu Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) sold normally in county pharmacies is basically sufficient.

They don't practice martial arts, so their energy consumption is not high!

My brother-in-law has already entered the ranks of mid-level officers in the military, and since it's not a special forces unit, the intensity of his training has naturally decreased.

Don't assume that the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill" he devised based on the county's environment, local specialties, and water sources is of mediocre effect; the truth is quite the opposite.

For ordinary people, and for those who haven't reached a certain level of skill in martial arts, this is enough to nourish their body's energy and replenish what they've lost.

If you overdo the nourishment and don't keep up with the exercise, you'll really get a nosebleed.

Otherwise, given Xiao Rizi's shrewdness, why would she be so eager to go to the county to pay a high price for a prescription?
That's a million dollars!
This price was definitely not low in 1986.

Of course, no one in the county was willing to sell voluntarily.

There's no other reason than that I've gained confidence!

The industrial factories acquired from Hong Kong Island at bargain prices have now become the economic engine of the county, steadily generating foreign exchange earnings. At least, before the county embarked on large-scale infrastructure development, these returns were more than enough to satisfy everyone, from top to bottom.

If there are any more, even the county won't be able to protect them!
Under such circumstances, unless the owner offers an irresistible price that the county cannot refuse, a mere million dollars is still not enough.

Unfortunately, the business officials from the province didn't care about the county's reaction.

This incident caused quite a stir in the county.

Fortunately, Xiao Ri was badly tricked this time, otherwise Wu Aiguo would not have agreed so easily.

The arrival of Wu Aiguo's family made his father-in-law and mother-in-law very happy.

In particular, the arrival of the three little ones, whose height and weight are comparable to adults, made the two elders beam with joy.

When my sister-in-law, who had arrived a day earlier, saw me, she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Speaking of which, this guy is the quintessential second-generation rich kid.

She took every opportunity to beg her father-in-law to transfer her and her husband to relevant units in the provincial capital.

Now, she is a proud resident of the provincial capital!

Sure enough, his sense of superiority rose again when he faced Wu Aiguo's family.

One minute they're talking about how generous the company's Mid-Autumn Festival benefits were, and how there were so many nice things that people in smaller places had never even seen before.

A moment later, he brought up the provincial key high school where several of his nephews and nieces had transferred, mentioning how famous it was and how strong its teaching staff was, and so on.

It's like how her nephews and nieces, who are still in school, can quickly catch up with the average level of key high schools after entering them.

Not only that, he also subtly boasted to his younger sister Shen Ying that her three children would definitely be able to get jobs in provincial capital units after graduation.

Wu Aiguo found it hilarious!

Speaking of which, it sounds like the sister-in-law and her husband's transfer to the provincial capital didn't alleviate the pressure on the father-in-law.

I guess it's only because he's always been around the two elders that he's well-liked; otherwise, how many people could stand such nagging?
During a casual chat with my father-in-law, he revealed something funny: the provincial capital's commercial system official who facilitated the acquisition of the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill" formula and related formulas has gotten into trouble.

It wasn't any other problem, but after returning to the provincial capital, I fell ill with a strange disease.

As he said this, the father-in-law glanced at Wu Aiguo, intentionally or unintentionally.

Wu Aiguo knew what was going on, but pretended not to know anything.

When it comes to acting skills, he fears no one!

Fortunately, the father-in-law didn't want to investigate further. Instead, he jokingly recounted the details of the man's strange illness.

There are no other problems, except that I keep getting sores on my scalp and pus oozing from the soles of my feet.

No matter what methods were used, it didn't get better.

In such a situation, regardless of whether the person is unwilling, they will ultimately have no choice but to retire early.

Otherwise, it's easy for people to associate it with something negative.

Once the news gets out, it will easily spark heated discussions among the public.

Because of this incident, the provincial government has become quite wary and averse to cooperating with Xiao Rizi.

If any big shot were to contract such a strange illness, their career would essentially be over, unless the illness quickly improves before it becomes a major public health issue.

If something like that really happens, life will probably be even harder to endure.
