The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Thanks to Huo Jinyu, Jiang Qiyue followed his wife to the main table, where she was fed by a group of elderly men and women, and her little mouth never had a chance to stop talking.

Gao Qinghe, Jiang Baohai, and Gu Jingzhou sat at a table. After exchanging pleasantries, music filled the hall, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Grandpa Gu has a serious appearance, but the Gu family's family style is not serious at all.

After all, the young people have achieved their own success and no longer listen to the older generation; each of them has their own ideas.

Halfway through the meal, seeing many people leaving their seats and moving around, Jiang Baohai immediately joined them.

Gu Jingzhou moved to the empty seat next to Gao Qinghe and asked her how her project was going.

Gao Qinghe calmly finished the large braised lion's head meatball in her cup, waiting until Gu Jingzhou grew impatient before putting down her chopsticks, wiping her mouth with a napkin, and saying:

"Yes, I've thought it through. I'm willing to invest in this project."

"However," she added, changing the subject before Gu Jingzhou could even smile, "..."
"I think the wetland next to Quanhu Square is also quite nice."

"Also, that farmland and forest area is 1,400 acres. How could someone as lazy as me possibly manage it? It will just rot in my hands, and then you'll be disappointed."

Gu Jingzhou knew then that he had been happy too soon.

Gao Qinghe is fine when she's not talking about business, but once she does, she becomes all about profit and has no humanity!
"Tell me, what do you want?"

Gu Jingzhou didn't want to play games with her, so he asked directly.

Gao Qinghe smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that I think the wetland next to Quanhu Square is also quite nice? You can give me both projects as a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and also help me find two project managers to be in charge of these two projects. I'll make sure you have enough money."

You won't find an investor as straightforward as her anywhere else in the entire provincial capital!
“Look at those out-of-town investors, who has more cash on hand than me?” Gao Qinghe retorted.

Gu Jingzhou took a deep breath, indicating that he needed to think about it.

Gao Qinghe interrupted him directly, "Don't even think about it. Besides me, who else could accept farmland and forest land that's obviously not profitable?"

"You would offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal to anyone else, otherwise who would want it?"

"Besides me, who else would listen to your development office?"

Gao Qinghe presented Gu Jingzhou with a condition he could not refuse.

She is willing to cooperate with them; she will agree to any requests for increased public facilities or poverty alleviation projects.

"Even at a loss?"

Gao Qinghe nodded: "As long as I don't lose my underwear, it's fine."

Gu Jingzhou's lips twitched violently; those words were far too crude.

"Did you learn this from Huang Yanqiu?" he couldn't help but wonder.

Gao Qinghe rolled her eyes at him, "Don't wrong my sister, I'm just being down-to-earth."

Gu Jingzhou looked her up and down again, wondering how he could not have known that she had such a spirit of sacrifice and dedication.
Gao Qinghe shook her head. "You really don't understand me at all. I'm actually very kind and very patriotic."

Gu Jingzhou: "."

"Okay, don't worry, I definitely won't lose out."

Gao Qinghe raised her eyes and her gaze fell on the man who was dealing with the crowd.

These connections are far more valuable than those two projects.

and also!

Gao Qinghe said seriously, "I like doing good deeds and accumulating blessings for children, really."

If it were only the first half of the sentence, Gu Jingzhou might not have believed it.

But once a mother has a child, her words are absolutely 100% from the heart.

Gu Jingzhou reached out and solemnly shook Gao Qinghe's hand. "Wait for my news."

Project managers are not easy to find.

However, these two vacancies can also provide him with a lot of room for maneuver.

He will carefully select the best course of action to give Gao Qinghe the best possible outcome.

Having achieved her goal, Gao Qinghe was in a good mood and had a good appetite. In addition, the dishes at the banquet were really delicious, and she ate half a bowl more rice than usual.

Seeing this, Gu Jingzhou sighed softly and silently instructed the housekeeper to pack an extra portion for her in the kitchen and put it in the car.

Gao Qinghe: "Gu Jingzhou, I think you look especially handsome today!" Gu Jingzhou smiled politely: "Thank you."

The banquet is over.

Huo Jinyu wanted to invite her granddaughter's family to return to the old house for the night.

Gao Qinghe declined, saying that it would be inconvenient for her child to go to kindergarten the next day.

Huo Jinyu hugged Jiang Qiyue reluctantly and told Gao Qinghe to bring the child to the old house to play when she had time on the weekend.

"Almost forgot."

Huo Jinyu leaned out of the car and said with a smile, "Your eldest cousin is getting married after National Day. I'm letting you know in advance. Please tell your mother that you two must come to attend."

Gao Qinghe has never met her eldest cousin before, and every time she goes to the old house, she perfectly misses his vacation.

Nod to indicate that you understand.

"Don't worry, Grandma, I'll let Mom and Dad know. They'll definitely come."

Huo Jinyu smiled and nodded, then got into her car and left first.

After the guests left, Gao Qinghe and her family of three also prepared to leave.

Workaholic Gu Wen only arrived at this time with her child.

"Gu Nanxing!"

Jiang Qiyue leaned against the window frame and shouted out her classmate's name.

The little boy, who was running behind his mother, looked up in surprise, searched around, and finally saw Jiang Qiyue waving from the car.

He was extremely surprised, grabbed his mother's foot, and pointed to the car:
"Mom, it's Jiang Qiyue!"

Gu Wen was surprised. Her aloof, beautiful neighbor with her nose in the air? What was she doing here?

Gao Qinghe twitched the corners of her mouth and gestured to Jiang Baohai in the back seat to bring her daughter, who was about to climb out of the car window, back inside.

"Aren't you going to say hello?" Jiang Baohai asked tentatively.

Gao Qinghe scoffed, "We're not even that close, why bother greeting each other?"

Jiang Baohai raised an eyebrow and promptly shut up.

Gao Qinghe stepped on the gas and smoothly drove past Gu Wen and her son, leaving the Gu family home.

Jiang Qiyue was very curious and tugged at her father's clothes, "Dad, why is Gu Nanxing here?"

Jiang Baohai thought for a moment and said, "Because this is his mother's home."

Jiang Qiyue said "Oh," and felt that the world was so small, with everyone around her being someone she knew.

Jiang Qiyue fell asleep shortly after starting the car.

Jiang Baohai had drunk some wine and was feeling drowsy. The father and daughter lay down together and fell asleep in a ball.

Gao Qinghe parked the car, opened the back door, and shouted loudly, "Jiang Baohai!"

The sleeping man suddenly sat up with a start, looking around: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Gao Qinghe took a deep breath, reached out and picked up her daughter who was too loud to wake, tossed the car keys to Jiang Baohai, and went home.

Oh well, I've been criticized again.

Jiang Baohai lowered his head and sniffed his collar. Fortunately, there wasn't a strong smell of smoke or alcohol.

Hmm, the perfume I wore today smells pretty good~
The family of three returned home late at night.

Qi Lianxin was worried that her granddaughter was still awake. When she saw her daughter-in-law carrying her granddaughter into the room, she took the granddaughter and brought her back to the room to sleep.

The little girl was extremely sleepy. She groggily opened her eyes, called out "Grandma," tilted her head, and fell asleep again.

While grumbling about why the two adults didn't bring the child back sooner, Qi Lianxin gently helped her granddaughter change into her pajamas, wiped her face and feet, and only took her back to her room after making her feel comfortable.

Jiang Baohai took a long shower, spent half an hour in the living room letting the cool breeze dissipate the smell, and then tiptoed into the bedroom.

He tentatively lay down beside his wife, and seeing that she didn't react, he felt relieved and fell into a sweet sleep, holding her close. (End of Chapter)
