Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?
Chapter 141: Just Think of It as Poverty Alleviation
Doesn't he know he has no sense of boundaries?
Li Qingwen slowly stood up and left the table: "I'm going to toast the leaders."
At the main table, the old lady was chatting with several shareholders about Huayu’s current business situation, and she only said one sentence when she mentioned her old man.
"When the old man passed away, Huayu almost perished with him. If it weren't for Chunsheng, there would be no Huayu today."
Old Yu watched Zhou Chunsheng carry on step by step and felt very much the same way. Now that Zhou Xixiang is able to help Old Zhou take on this vast turmoil, he feels especially gratified.
He said: "For the younger generation now, we still have to look up to Xixiang. We are relieved that Huayu has him taking over."
After hearing this, Lao Liang continued Lao Yu's words and said, "In fact, the second young master's ability is also very outstanding. I think no matter who takes over Huayu in the future, it won't be a problem."
Old Yu glanced sideways, disapproving. In his opinion, Zhou Yongan's changeable temper and personality meant that he could not be given too much hope. The future of Huayu would definitely depend on Zhou Xixiang taking over.
Just then, Li Qingwen approached with a glass of wine and greeted several shareholders.
When Old Yu saw her, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This daughter-in-law was much more pleasing to the eye than Zhou Laoer: "Qingwen, why didn't you sit at our table? Where have you been?"
Li Qingwen avoided the topic and said, "Uncle Yu, Uncle Liang, did you watch the stage performance? We have specially arranged a good seat for you. Don't miss the magic show later."
Old Yu nodded: "There are so many things this year. I think they even prepared a lottery ticket for everyone, right?"
Lao Liang: "Such a unique gift, low price, and full of expectations, whose idea was it? Since it saves the company money, you must give him a bonus."
Li Qingwen: "Then I would like to thank Uncle Liang on behalf of Xiao Jian from the Administration Department!"
He raised his glass and moved closer to clink it with the two shareholders, then Li Qingwen tilted his head back and drank the red wine in his hand.
"Old Yu, why didn't you bring your daughter with you today? I guess she has graduated from college by now?" The old lady suddenly spoke and looked at them.
Old Yu smiled widely: "My daughter will graduate in June, and she doesn't like crowded occasions."
The old lady said: "We, Yongan, have only graduated for two years. These young people should see each other more often, just like you and Chunsheng. Only by communicating more can we create wealth together."
Wing On...
Old Yu picked up his wine glass and laughed awkwardly: "I came home during the winter vacation and didn't even eat breakfast. I just played games when I woke up. I'm not doing my job. Forget it."
The old lady said, "Then you should let her out. She will soon be employed. Old Yu, don't spoil your daughter too much. It is said that the behavior of children is the fault of their parents."
"We are planning to send her to study abroad. She is still a long way from finding a job for now, so we'll see." Old Yu was not interested and didn't want to involve his daughter with Zhou Laoer.
After Li Qingwen finished toasting to the shareholders, he couldn't help but greet his grandmother, so he poured some wine and walked up to the old lady.
Before she could speak, a voice came over.
"Madam, long time no see!" The man was about fifty years old, a little fat, but his clothes were elegant and decent. He wore a dark blue suit, which showed the stability and maturity of a middle-aged man.
"Madam, you are in good health. I haven't seen you for a year. I want to test you. Do you still recognize me?" The man smiled jokingly, his smile was warm and sincere, and his eyes sparkled with a shrewd light.
"Zhang...Bao, Mr. Bao, how could I forget him, the person in charge of the infrastructure department of Lixin Real Estate." The old lady looked at him with sharp eyes and smiled slightly.
The man whose name was called accurately nodded vigorously, his tone full of flattery: "Seeing that the old lady is still in such good spirits, I feel relieved. Our Lixin Real Estate is thanks to Huayu's help. We have never forgotten the old lady's kindness over the years. You are the savior of our Lixin Real Estate!"
After saying this, he glanced at Li Qingwen who was standing next to the old lady, and then he suddenly spoke as if he remembered something:
"For example, recently, we had a Lijia Village project in Raocheng that we hadn't been able to reach an agreement on. But now, with the old lady's encouragement, we have reached an agreement with more than half of the villagers and are about to start construction."
Hearing the words "Lijia Village", Li Qingwen raised his eyes sensitively.
She looked at Mr. Zhang, her voice a little nervous: "The Lijia Village you are talking about is..."
"It's Lijia Village under the Yixin District of Raocheng. I heard it's the hometown of the old lady's granddaughter-in-law. The old lady must have done it for her granddaughter-in-law—"
Li Qingwen's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Mr. Zhang with his eyes fixed on him. His voice trembled, "What do you mean by starting construction?"
Grandma, do you know what Mr. Zhang means? A feeling of uneasiness surged in my heart.
The middle-aged man named Zhang Bao did not answer directly, but asked Li Qingwen again: "I heard that Raocheng is rich in porcelain, fireworks, and tea. I wonder what the second young lady's family does?"
Li Qingwen's throat tightened and his lower abdomen began to feel warm and painful due to the alcohol he had drunk.
Mr. Zhang didn't hear the answer for a long time, so he said to himself: "I think Lijia Village is quite poor. I went there once when signing the contract. The village is full of farmers who usually make a living by farming in the mountains."
"But the Second Young Madam is so beautiful and she is Huayu's granddaughter-in-law. There must be some entrepreneurs in your family, right? Or are they all local government officials?"
"If we can introduce each other, our work in Raocheng may be smoother in the future."
At this moment, Li Qingwen was as dumbfounded as a sculpture, unable to utter a word, and just stood there silently.
There is a feeling of being played around by others.
The old lady had a faint smile on her face. She waited for a while, and when everyone looked over, she replied on behalf of her granddaughter-in-law: "Mr. Bao, you think too highly of my granddaughter-in-law. Her family is farmers, and they have nothing to do with business or government officials."
"Ah... Really? I thought a wealthy family like the Zhou family would be very particular about marrying someone of equal status."
The old lady looked helpless: "What can we do? My grandson likes her, and she is beautiful. Young people nowadays talk about love all the time. We can't break up a couple."
Mr. Zhang echoed, "The old lady is still open-minded."
The old lady shook her head slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in her tone: "The novelty will wear off. For me, I will just regard it as poverty alleviation."
These words were heard by everyone at the main table, and everyone's eyes were directed to the lonely Li Qingwen.
This gentle and quiet woman in a simple and elegant dress had a faint sadness on her face, like a piece of porcelain that would break at any time. She looked so pitiful that I felt even more sorry for her.
She made fun of her granddaughter-in-law's family background to her face, and commented on her and her grandson's marriage as a poverty alleviation measure... It seems that Old Madam Zhou really dislikes this granddaughter-in-law.
This perception was planted in many people's minds. Smart people understood what the old lady meant. Old Yu and Old Liang looked at her with sympathy. Several branch presidents and company representatives also looked slightly embarrassed.
Li Qingwen's hand holding the wine glass was very weak, and her eyelids were trembling slightly. She didn't know how she was still standing. She stared at Mr. Zhang with a pair of misty eyes and continued to ask the question she didn't hear the answer to just now.
"Mr. Zhang, what is the Lijia Village project?"
Mr. Zhang did not hesitate any longer and responded, "The road in Lijia Village is going to be widened and a new community will be built. The surrounding houses will all be demolished and rebuilt."
