Chapter 397 The Director is a Truly Generous Person

Two hours earlier, when Qiu Ze returned to the villa, he saw Xu Meng sitting in the living room playing with the birds.

Knowing that she went to Langdu with Shen Zhaoyi, she will definitely come back together.

Actually, when Qiu Ze met Pei Yan at the convoy that afternoon, he wondered if his sister-in-law had already arrived home, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.

What if, what if Chen Hong's words were just a joke?
Seeing is believing, right?

Now, as each case comes together, Qiu Ze feels that the real answer seems to be out in the open.

Seeing Pei Ge inquiring about his sister-in-law's whereabouts, his suspicions became even more certain.

Oh no, it seems I've actually found a perfect solution!
He began to think about his own brother, who was older or younger in the family.

Overnight, Cheng Yubai proved to be very reliable, having already arranged the time and place for dinner when Shen Zhaoyi woke up.

"You contacted someone so early in the morning?"

"To correct you, it's noon."

After saying that, Cheng Yubai got out of bed and pulled open the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight instantly flooded into the entire room.

Shen Zhaoyi found her phone, and only after turning it on did she see the time displayed on it—

13:06
Goodness, I almost fell asleep during that nap.

Helping her aching body out of bed, she washed up and waited for Cheng Yubai to feed her before finally having time to look through the messages she had ignored last night.

Aside from a lengthy explanation of her innocence, Pei Yan kept asking why she hadn't gone home.

Chen Hong, on the other hand, took the initiative to recount exactly what he had seen in the hotel two years ago.

The scene was so exciting that I still remember it vividly.

After reading the whole thing, Shen Zhaoyi finally found the answer she was looking for.

Don't worry, Sister Shen. At most, Captain Pei only unbuttoned a few buttons on his coat. It was cold, and he was wearing quite a few layers underneath!

It's also thanks to the climate.

Shen Zhaoyi finally felt relieved. She then contacted Cong Lang and said that she would try to smooth things over today and could only give him a reply in the evening.

After having a mixed breakfast and lunch, I went back to my room for a nap and finally regained my energy.

"Could you be a little more restrained next time?" she said, looking at the culprit with a warning in her voice.

Cheng Yubai found her some dried clothes and argued, "It's your body that needs exercise."

"Strong words!"

The two argued for a while, but the argument ended in a draw.

Driving to the restaurant where she was to meet Director Qin, Shen Zhaoyi asked Qin Huai what kind of official he was in the government.

"You don't even know what they do, yet you dare to place your hopes on them?"

"If you know what he does and he dares to invite you to dinner, it proves that he must have influence."

Shen Zhaoyi shared her insights.

Cheng Yubai laughed at her, saying that her brain couldn't remember anything at all.

"As I said before, Director Qin is tactful and gets along well in every department."

When it comes to connections, no one can compare to him.

Even if Old Mrs. Chen were just a nominal group leader, it wouldn't be a problem for her to do something if she wanted to.

Reminded by Cheng Yubai, Shen Zhaoyi also remembered that she seemed to have said that if things couldn't be done openly, Qin Huai could definitely get them done.

It turns out I really did meet a benefactor.

This time, Shen Zhaoyi was much more enthusiastic than last time.

Having navigated the officialdom for so many years, how could Qin Huai not see that the other party at tonight's dinner party wanted something from him?

After a few polite words and clarifying the specifics of what needed to be done, he immediately replied: "Easy, you'll see the person tomorrow."

"If there is substantial evidence, you can call the police directly. I can arrange for two reliable people to help." Qin Huaiyou was really going to help, and even planned to help contact the media to clear the convoy's name.

"The director is such a generous person!"

Shen Zhaoyi raised her glass, her words of gratitude all contained in the wine.

She downed the drink in one gulp before mentioning her "return gift."

"I heard from Yu Bai that the government plans to invest in a new tourism project in the Johor Bahru area?"

"That's right!" Qin Huai readily filled his glass. "It was brought up at the beginning of the year, but it still hasn't been implemented."

"These days, it's not easy to attract investment!"

Once he presented his needs, Shen Zhaoyi seized the opportunity and prepared to become an "angel investor."

Besides repaying Qin Huai's favor, she also had her own plans for cooperating with the government.

Tourism projects in the new district are very risky, just like Cheng Yubai's experiment, so not many people are willing to get involved.

However, with a system in place to protect against risks, these risks can actually become leverage for further investment.

However, Shen Zhaoyi had one small request.

"Can I be the one to decide who will be in charge of the project?"

Qin Huai looked troubled; he thought this was an attempt to use the opportunity to plant people in the government.

Knowing she had been misunderstood, Shen Zhaoyi calmly explained with a charade: "I'm a bit superstitious. For every project I invest in, I have to find an attractive person to be in charge, so that the results will be beautiful too."

As she said this, she glanced in Cheng Yubai's direction.

Qin Huai didn't really believe it, but as long as it wasn't about throwing money and connections into the scheme, it was fine.

As for the good-looking ones, you know what, there are actually a few in his office.

"Then it's settled. I'll bring the documents over for Miss Shen to review another day."

"no problem."

After the dinner, Shen Zhaoyi's mood visibly improved.

She sent a message to Cong Lang, asking him to meet with Old Lady Chen again first thing tomorrow morning. If things went smoothly, Pei Yan's situation might take a turn for the better in a couple of days.

We also need to remind Jiang Ye not to miss out on this wave of popularity.

Cheng Yubai watched her bustling around, feeling quite annoyed, and moved closer to draw attention back to himself.

"Are you really going to make that investment?"

"That's obvious. We've already made an appointment with Director Qin, how could we go back on our word?"

"But why must a person in charge be designated?" Cheng Yubai didn't believe that fancy explanation at all.

Shen Zhaoyi couldn't explain it. After all, with such a large transaction, it would be an unprecedented loss if they didn't find a good way to cash out.

The car fell into an eerie silence.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Cheng Yubai decided to try to find out more about Qin Huai's intentions, so that he could nip any problems in the bud.

On the way back, she originally planned to take it home again, but after receiving a phone call, Shen Zhaoyi said she would turn around and go to the villa.

I was wondering who had stolen my good fortune.

When he saw Qiu Yu's annoying face, his fists hardened.

Why are so many of them coming to join in the fun?

Smelling the gunpowder in the air, Qiu Ze had a new perspective on the results that had just been determined last night.

After leaving, Cheng Yubai clicked into the six-person group chat that had been quiet for two days and shared the news of Shen Zhaoyi's return.

If we want a lively atmosphere, Qiuyu alone won't do.

Ideally, everyone should appear together, so that no one can have the chance to have it all to themselves!
