Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

Monday.

Zhong Xiaoai arrived at the Provincial Government Office ahead of schedule.

She pushed open the office door; there were only a few people inside.

The documents on the table were already laid out, the thermos was filled with boiling water, and the street outside the window had just returned to its bustling state.

Zhong Xiaoai put down her handbag and sat down to review today's work schedule.

She went to Suda New Town twice in the past few days.

The first time was on the opening day, after get off work on a weekday.

There were quite a few people in the mall that day because it was the opening day.

Zhong Xiaoai only had a quick look around, ate her meal, and came back, so she didn't learn much about it.

Moreover, there were a lot of people, and Zhong Xiaoai didn't enjoy her visit as much as she wanted, so she had already decided to go again.

The second time was on the weekend.

Zhong Xiaoai didn't have many friends in Jingzhou.

Most of her university classmates were doing internships, and the few classmates who were close to Chung Hsiao-ai were not in Jingzhou.

Chung Ho-ping doesn't have time to rest on weekends either, as he's basically busy with work.

There aren't many places in Jingzhou suitable for her to while away the time by herself.

Zhong Xiaoai thought for a long time.

In the end, we went to Suda New Town.

I thought the crowds at Suda New Town on the weekend might not be as large as on the opening day.

Who knew?

The weekend at Suda New Town was basically the same as on opening day.

As soon as she stepped through the gate, she was startled by the flow of people coming and going.

An event was being held in the atrium on the first floor, with a large crowd gathered in front of the stage, long queues in the food and beverage area, and people constantly going up and down the escalator on the second floor.

We spent two hours browsing.

Zhong Xiaoai bought several books, had a meal at the mall, and didn't leave until evening.

As soon as Zhong Xiaoai arrived at the office today, she discovered...

The discussion about Suda New Town is still ongoing.

"Xiao Ai, did you go to Suda New Town again this weekend?"

The female colleague sitting opposite her put down her newspaper and asked directly.

Zhong Xiaoai raised her head.

How did you know?

"The newspaper said there were even more people over the weekend; several people from the office went."

The female colleague pushed the newspaper forward a little.

"I also heard that the owner of Suda New City is from Handong University. Do you know him?"

The people in the office immediately stopped what they were doing and all looked over.

Several colleagues in the office knew that Zhong Xiaoai was Zhong Heping's younger sister and that she was a graduate of Handong University.

Zhong Xiaoai did not expect the topic to turn to her.

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"know."

"Do you really know him?"

"Of course it's true."

My female colleague became interested.

"Are you classmates with him?"

I guess so.

"Then tell me quickly, what kind of person is he?"

Someone nearby chimed in.

"The newspaper only said he was the owner of the Speedata Group, without writing much more. He shouldn't be very old, right?"

"It's definitely not big."

Another woman said, "I saw him on TV yesterday, standing next to Secretary Chen. He looked to be no more than thirty years old."

"The Secretary Chen you're talking about, is it Chen Jianguo, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City?"

"Who else could it be but him?"

"Don't you know he's still in college?"

"Really? How come I didn't know about this?"

"Then your information is outdated. This news has already spread throughout Jingzhou."

The office quickly became lively.

Some say Liang Cheng is a capable businessman, having turned Suda Group into a landmark enterprise in Jingzhou in just a few years.

Some people say he's very bold, daring to invest such a large project in a place like the southern suburbs.

Some people say that many provincial leaders visited Suda New City before its opening, and since it was able to open smoothly in the end, it must have had strong connections behind it.

Zhong Xiaoai listened to these discussions but did not respond immediately.

She knew Liang Cheng did have connections, but to attribute Suda New City's success solely to connections would be to underestimate him.

When she first met Liang Cheng at school, he was already different from ordinary students.

He is quick to understand problems and speaks with tact.

While others are still debating whether or not something should be done.

He often starts thinking about what the consequences will be after he finishes doing it.

Later, when Liang Cheng entered the business world, she heard some news about him.

When Speedy Beverage Factory was established, many people thought he was just using Leung Chun-fung's name to test the waters.

But the beverage factory not only didn't collapse, it actually grew step by step.

The subsequent development of Suda New City further silenced all doubts.

Her female colleague reached out and touched her arm.

"Xiao Ai, don't just listen, tell me quickly if Liang Cheng has a girlfriend."

Zhong Xiaoai was stunned for a moment.

Why are you asking this?

"I have a cousin who just graduated from university. She's good-looking and has a stable job."

The female colleague said, "If Liang Cheng doesn't have a girlfriend yet, I can introduce them."

"I have one here too."

"Don't fight over it yet. A young boss like Liang Cheng definitely doesn't lack people around him."

Several people started discussing it amongst themselves.

Zhong Xiaoai picked up the documents on the table and deliberately flipped through two pages.

"I don't know anything about his affairs either, so please don't ask me."

"Aren't you classmates?"

"Being classmates doesn't mean you know everything."

Zhong Xiaoai did not reveal Su Qingyu's name.

She knew that Liang Cheng already had a girlfriend, and she had also met Su Qingyu.

The two are a perfect match.

There's no need to discuss this in the office.

not to mention.

Her relationship with Liang Cheng was not close enough for them to freely discuss each other's private lives.

The female colleague was somewhat disappointed.

"What a pity, I thought you could give us some information."

"With such a large company as Speedata, Liang Cheng is so busy every day that he doesn't have time to date."

"Rich and young, what kind of woman can't you find?"

Laughter erupted again in the office.

Zhong Xiaoai smiled along, but in her heart she thought of Liang Cheng's appearance on the day Suda New City opened.

When the crowd was at its most crowded, he didn't stand in the most conspicuous position to receive praise, but instead went back and forth to check.

That's not something you can accomplish just by relying on family connections.

The fact that a young person can build a business to this extent speaks volumes about their ability.

Unfortunately, her brother Zhong Heping did not have a good relationship with Lu Kangcheng and Liang Qunfeng.

If there weren't such barriers between the families, she and Liang Cheng might have more in common.

At least they talked about Suda New Town.

She doesn't need to pretend she knows nothing like this anymore.

……

at the same time.

Provincial Government Building.

Zhong Heping sat behind his desk, on which was laid out a week's schedule. Documents from the Provincial Court, the Provincial Procuratorate, the Department of Justice, and several documents from the Jingzhou Municipal Government were all piled on top.

Qiu Gaofei, Shen Mingliang, Chen Lidong, and Zhou Haitao sat on either side of the reception area, and none of them spoke first.

Chung Heping picked up the schedule, glanced at it for a moment, and then put the documents down.

"There's a lot to do this week. The first thing is the coordination meeting on political and legal funding, and we can't let our guard down with the work of the Jingzhou City Government either."

"Chen Jianguo had just joined the Standing Committee, the Jingzhou leadership was still adjusting, and Yi Xuexi was about to be transferred in. At this time, everyone wanted to take advantage of the personnel changes to get their hands on things."

Shen Mingliang immediately took over the conversation.

"Governor Zhong, the Jingzhou Municipal Government has already sent over the materials for the follow-up supporting construction of the South Suburb New Area, which involves roads, water supply, and commercial management."

"Li Dakang has been running around a lot these past two days, and Chen Jianguo is also keeping an eye on several key projects. There shouldn't be any loopholes in the short term."

Zhong Heping nodded.

"Not having time doesn't mean you don't need to watch."

"Jingzhou is the face of the entire province and also the place with the fastest capital flow in the province. Chen Jianguo is now the municipal party secretary, and Li Dakang is in charge of many specific affairs. After Yi Xuexi goes there, the power in the municipal government will be redistributed."

"Our task is not to cause trouble, but to see clearly what needs to be seen."
