I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 381: Phoenix and Wild Chicken

The people sent by Wu Hong were all dressed in work clothes, carrying instruments, and wearing safety helmets.

Compared to them, the others were phoenixes, and their construction crew was mere wild fowl.

If they could follow and learn, that would be truly great.

"...Can we go in and learn? Will they teach us?" Li Tie asked nervously.

"I’ll get in touch with Wu Hong, and if they agree, you all must be humble. Even if they ask you to work voluntarily, don’t complain. The skills you learn are your own. After the village roads are finished, you can go take a certification test and register a construction company. Won’t your team be set up by then?"

"A... certification test, a... company?" Li Tie stuttered, nervously rubbing his hands. "Is that possible? Who dares to set up a company? That’s terrifying."

"Uncle Li, you’ve managed to start a construction crew and built so many houses, how could you not take one more step forward?" Qiao Qingyu asked with a beaming smile.

"Why not, how could we not?" Qiao Zhihai stretched out his hand and punched Li Tie lightly. "Just listen to what my niece says; don’t doubt yourself."

Finally, Li Tie smiled.

"Alright, alright. I won’t go back to the county for now; I’ll wait for your news."

They just rented a small house in the county. All these people were from their village, with a few from other villages. When there was work, they would call for people to organize. Normally when there was no work, they had to go work in the fields.

Those left behind to watch the houses took on small jobs like building stoves and repairing chimneys in the county.

The weather was cold now, and the houses couldn’t be built immediately.

Qiao Qingyu located Wu Hong’s contact number and was about to go to the village office to make a call, when at that moment the cashier from the family team called out from the doorway, "Qiao Genbao, is your sister at home? Chief Engineer He is calling."

"She’s at home, she’s at home," hurried Qiao Genbao. "Sis, hurry up, your brother-in-law is calling. Does he have something to do with you?"

What else could it be? He just missed her and was urging her to come home.

Half a month’s time wasn’t that long when she was in Xichuan, but now that she was at Qiao Family Team, time seemed to drag on.

On the other end of the phone, He Xiuyu’s voice was a little hoarse, "Qingyu, when will you come back?"

"I’ll need another three to five days," Qiao Qingyu calculated.

"Is there no set date? Let me know when you’re sure, and I’ll come pick you up."

"No need, I’ll head to school first when I return. You and Rongrong don’t have to bother."

"I’m coming," He Xiuyu insisted in a low voice. "I miss you."

A layer of sweet and sour sensation rose in Qiao Qingyu’s heart, lingering gently.

Her voice softened unconsciously, "I miss you too."

A gentle hum from the other end of the phone—the huskiness in his voice was palpable, but it was clear that he indeed missed her.

Qiao Qingyu then asked, "Your voice sounds hoarse. You haven’t caught a cold, have you?"

"No, I’ve been working overtime these days."

"Take care of yourself, and the same goes for your researchers. Health is the capital of the revolution."

"I know. Sales for the Light Industry Workshop’s cassette players are good; we’re planning to build a basketball court and a sports center for everyone."

As He Xiuyu mentioned this, a hint of pleasure could be heard in his voice.

Qiao Qingyu felt happy for him and shared some updates about her side, "He Xiuyu, I’m going to Beijing and then straight back to Xichuan. Do you have anything to do in Beijing?"

"Nothing. But Juanjuan has already sold three pots of Soothing Grass. She told me she’s made three bank books and deposited the money."

"Tell her to keep a low profile."

"I’ve already advised her when she called me."

Two people chatted softly and tenderly. Qiao Qingyu originally intended to call Wu Hong, but by now she had completely forgotten about it.

...

During this time, Wu Hong wasn’t at his company; he took someone from the Zhang Family to Xiwatun.

Members of the same kind quickly caught each other’s aura when meeting.

A few glances were enough to roughly gauge each other’s abilities.

What Wu Hong hadn’t expected was that the young girl lying on the kang was actually the most powerful.

He directly said, "...I’d like to invite you both to join us. Together, we can break the barrier of this world, and we’ll be able to enter a higher-level world..."

Han Liuya stared intently at Wu Hong. "Is what you’re saying true?"

"There’s no need to lie to you. To be honest, there are fewer and fewer humans with our abilities. We should really stick together."

"Do you know what the higher-level world is like?" Han Liuya asked curiously.

"I don’t know. But my ancestors did indeed go there; unfortunately, it’s a one-way ticket. They can’t come back or make contact."

"I don’t care about going to another world, but if you can help me with one thing, my grandmother and I will definitely agree to join you."

Han Lishi was about to speak, but after a moment’s thought, she closed her mouth.

Sometimes fate like this should not be obstructed, otherwise, it could lead to complications.

Wu Hong smiled lightly and asked, "Miss Han, what are your conditions?"

"You’ve seen my condition. Even if I join you, I won’t be of much use. I need a healthy body."

"Do you want us to treat you? That we can do."

The person from the Zhang Family beside him said, "Our medical level is the most advanced in this world. We will do our utmost to treat you."

"I won’t be treated. This body is my burden. I need someone else’s."

"You want to possess a body?" Wu Hong asked in shock.

Another person from the Zhang Family frowned. "Possession is against the heavens’ will."

Wu Hong saw Han Liuya coldly smiling. Her aura was indeed strong, but somewhat gloomy, and he asked, "Whose body do you want?"

"Tenghai Research Base’s Qiao Qingyu. Oh, she’s related to your family, right?"

"You want her body?" This time Wu Hong was truly shocked, disbelieving as he looked at Han Liuya.

His ancestor had calculated that for He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu, all they could do was befriend them, letting their great destinies slowly influence them, so perhaps some things could be achieved with less effort.

But this young girl fancifully wished to take Qiao Qingyu’s body.

"Miss Han, this is not right. Taking someone’s body against their will is against the heavens, and even if you succeed, you will not live past forty, and it will end in disaster," Wu Hong stated frankly.

Han Lishi’s pupils contracted; this was also her concern.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Can you read fortunes?"

"I know a little, not an expert, but this outcome is what our Zhang Family ancestors and I have directly told."
