I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 361: It’s Not That I Look Down on You, But You Really Don’t Have That Brainpower

Chapter 361: Chapter 361: It’s Not That I Look Down on You, But You Really Don’t Have That Brainpower

Qiao Qingyu learned what she knew from Lu Ye.

He told her that Mr. Sun had made a self-criticism at an internal meeting, saying that he had failed to discipline his children properly, among many other things, and then the issue was downplayed and passed.

However, that reporter was said to have been transferred.

Originally, the reporter was going to be fired, but he didn’t care and directly went to Brother Sun’s workplace, squatting at the entrance, insisting that if Brother Sun didn’t help him, he’d expose all of his affairs, since if he was going down, he wouldn’t let Brother Sun have it easy either.

That was quite a do-or-die attitude.

So, the reporter was quietly transferred to another unit.

It was said that Mr. Sun had severely scolded Brother Sun, who in turn scolded Sun Xiuyuan.

Although it wasn’t covered by the daily newspaper, Qiao Qingyu did not feel satisfied with such an outcome because Sun Xiuyuan did not suffer any real consequences, just a scolding by her father and brother.

The reporter received a benefit, merely acknowledging a problem with his article, so it was left at that.

But one day, Sun Xiuyuan and Qiao Qingyu crossed paths, and Qiao Qingyu glanced at her then continued walking forward, not expecting to be intercepted by Sun Xiuyuan stepping forward.

Looking around at the quite surroundings, Sun Xiuyuan spoke with chilliness in her voice, "Qiao Qingyu, I’ll remember this. A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years."

Qiao Qingyu raised an eyebrow and then chuckled, "Sun Xiuyuan, I don’t mean to belittle you, but you really don’t have the brains. So I advise you to behave and not provoke me, otherwise you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!"

Then Qiao Qingyu strode away.

Sun Xiuyuan was initially too stunned to react, but once she did, her face turned from green to white to green again in anger. She had never before suffered such a great insult and provocation. If it wasn’t for some classmates passing by, she really wanted to catch up and fight Qiao Qingyu.

But Qiao Qingyu had no time to deal with her.

She hurried outside because Wu Hong had arrived.

Wu Hong was currently in Xichuan, getting ready to build the third-largest bicycle factory in China.

So his project in Xichuan was very important, and everyone treated him with the respect due a god of wealth.

Although Xichuan was near the sandstorm belt, it was also close to the Central Plains, with convenient road and rail transport. The construction of the bicycle factory would signify a qualitative leap for the local economy and for the whole of West City.

Qiao Qingyu just hadn’t expected that Wu Hong would come to see her. When she arrived at the student union office, there he was, sitting in the conference room, leisurely sipping his tea.

He smiled upon seeing Qiao Qingyu entering.

He was a very polite gentleman; standing up, he was accompanied by a man in his twenties, looking like his secretary. After a brief introduction, he didn’t address her as Comrade Qiao Qingyu, nor did he call her Qingyu.

He smiled and said, "You must be surprised that I came to find you at school."

"Indeed, I am. I thought there would be no need to see each other after our last meeting."

Qiao Qingyu was blunt and straightforward.

In this matter, she stood firmly beside her grandpa.

Wu Tai was certified and had been deemed reliable through decades of scrutiny; he was Wu Xiucai’s relative. But aside from him, she didn’t want any contact with anyone related to Wu Xiujie.

Wu Hong smiled gently, "Actually, this is our most normal interaction. However, I currently have a proposal in mind, and after much thought, I believe that discussing it with you might achieve a better outcome."

Qiao Qingyu’s eyes roved as she asked, "What is it?"

"The bicycle factory I am jointly investing in with Xichuan has already been approved. Everything is proceeding smoothly, and the production line has been arranged. Once the factory is built, it will be ready for testing and installation." freewёbnoνel.com

He paused there, and Qiao Qingyu did not interrupt him but waited quietly for what was to come.

Wu Hong continued, "The infrastructure in Xichuan is actually not very good. The roads in particular are in poor condition. I am planning to do something about the transportation routes."

"...Then you should contact the infrastructure department of Xichuan, there’s really no need to involve me, right?"

"I can’t take on all the road construction myself, and there are certainly official regulations for infrastructure projects. I just want to do something practical."

He added, "The proposed site for the joint venture bicycle factory is on the outskirts of Xichuan City, not far from Yushu County. I’ve conducted field inspections and one of the main routes in poor condition leads to your Tenghai Research Base. That road project was shelved due to budget constraints. I was thinking, perhaps I could do something for your Agricultural Base."

At last, Wu Hong directly stated his intention.

Of course, whether his motive was true or not, Wu Hong knew, and Qiao Qingyu could mostly guess that this was related to Han Lishi from Xiwatun.

But road construction was something Qiao Qingyu had already considered last year, which was not a small matter requiring substantial funds.

Wu Hong watched Qiao Qingyu’s expression and gave a nod inwardly, realizing his proposal had quickly moved her.

"...For this, I am planning to set up a cement factory. If the plan is feasible, we can start building the road after May."

Qiao Qingyu asked with some curiosity, "Mr. Wu, why would you do this?"

"I won’t dress it up; it’s simply gratitude for taking care of Rongrong. It’s not my idea, but Liu Ge’s. Since she wants it, I will make it happen."

Qiao Qingyu wasn’t sure whether to believe him or not, but merely curled her lips noncommittally and then said with a hint of regret, "Road construction is no small matter; it’s fundamental and very significant. Especially the road leading to Tenghai needs to be coordinated with Tenghai Base or go through Yushu County and even Xiaxi Commune. All this requires communication with local governments. But building a road is a good thing, and I guess there shouldn’t be too many problems."

Wu Hong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He had his own ulterior motives. The Zhang Family had returned, with many tasks to accomplish, all intertwined with the law of cause and effect.

Building roads and bridges are all about accumulating merit. He could build roads and bridges anywhere, but doing so at the Tenghai Research Base, Yushu County, and the transportation hub of Xichuan would be of great benefit to him.

That road would pass through Xiwatun, and using the opportunity, he could see for himself what the situation was there.

Whether it was worth the effort to deal with that old lady on behalf of the Zhang Family.

Of course, that was just one aspect; the most crucial thing was to seize this chance to establish ties with both He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu, which was incredibly important.
