There is a mountain in her arms

When Gu Yanbang came to pick up Jiang Yichen, Chi Yuan also followed him.

"This is?"

"Hello uncle, I'm Chi Yuan."

"Chi family in Jingcheng?"

"Not bad!"

"Oh it's you!"

Gu Yanbang had known that they knew each other for a long time, but he didn't expect that they were still in contact, and he didn't expect that the Chi family was a family that valued friendship.

"You want to come too?"

"Chencheng doesn't want me to show up, can I go with you?"

Gu Yanbang was a little hesitant, but he agreed when he thought that Chi Yuan's presence might increase the weight.

Gu Yanbang took the two of them directly to the district chief's office. At first, Gu Jili thought it was just a visit from a junior.

"Xiao Bang, why are you here suddenly? Who are these two children?"

"Uncle, this is my goddaughter Jiang Yicheng, and this is the young master of the Chi family. I am here for her this time, and I am here to see you through the back door."

Gu Yanbang was born in a military family, so he would not beat around the bush. Moreover, his uncle was a politician, so he could not beat him with his cunning mind.

"what's up?"

Gu Jili's eyes suddenly darkened, and he sat down slowly. Although the corners of his mouth were raised, there was a cold light in his eyes.

It turns out that people who go into politics must have a cool head.

"Hello, I'm sorry to meet you in this way. Although I don't care, but my time is very tight, so I can only take a shortcut."

Gu Yanbang was thinking about how to bring up this topic, but Jiang Yichen took the lead.

"Oh! Can you tell me what it is first?"

Gu Jili had heard that Gu Yanbang had a pair of good children, but he didn't expect that they would come to him now. He felt a little unhappy.

In a family like theirs, every move of each person will affect the family's reputation, so they will not allow their descendants to cause trouble outside in the name of the family.

Gu Yanbang's behavior of acting first and reporting later was severely criticized by his father at the time. However, Gu Yanbang said firmly that he would not use the name of the Gu family to make profits for them, so the matter was suppressed.

But now...

"I'm here for the food factory in Baige Village, Shahe Town. This is my plan. Please take a look at it first."

Jiang Yichen could sense his displeasure, but he still put a plan on his desk in a proper manner.

Gu Jili was a little surprised to hear this, but he still gave face to Gu Yanbang and picked up the plan to take a look.

Ten minutes later, Gu Jili put down the plan in his hand and calculated the feasibility of this matter in his mind.

The plan stated two points: first, she could pay the workers their overdue wages; second, she could also purchase the factory's equipment at a discount; but the prerequisite for both of these was that she had to be given the ownership of the land.

"Do you know that this costs a lot of money?"

Gu Jili looked at her inquiringly.

"Of course I know."

“What about the workers?”

"District Chief Gu, I spent so much money just to buy this piece of land, not to invite a bunch of ancestors to come back and raise it."

Jiang Yicheng's straightforward words surprised Gu Jili.

"What if I insist that you resettle those people before I give you the property rights?"

"It's not impossible. Then please pay off the wages they owe me. I don't want the equipment anymore."

Jiang Yichen’s meaning was very clear. I only want the land, but if you insist on giving her people, she will not take on the other two things.

"You know that's impossible. The most critical issue right now is money. The government has been dragging it on until now because it can't come up with that much money."

"I'm not a sucker. As long as I'm willing to spend time, I can choose another place to build one myself."

The initiative is now in Jiang Yichen's hands. The most important thing is that no one has taken over for such a long time, and the workers have made trouble many times.

"Since you still have to recruit people, why can't you accept them?"

"I said I'm not a sucker who can't afford to support my ancestors. I have investigated this group of people. Most of them have worked in the food factory for their entire lives, so they must be of one mind. What I need is someone who is young, strong, careful at work and obedient to management. Most importantly, the person I recruit must be agile and have no diseases."

Gu Jili fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat undecided.

"Besides, the money I use to buy the equipment is enough for you to appease them. And I heard that the government now has certain support and preferential policies for new enterprises. I wonder what benefits I will get if I set up a factory here?"

"Taxes can be reduced or exempted in the first three years. If the business is on the right track, taxes will be collected year by year until normal tax rates are restored."

"anything else?"

Jiang Yichen felt that this was not very friendly to her, and Gu Jili looked at her deeply.

"What else do you want?"

"For example, the government will promote my company for free! I hope you can help solve the problems that hinder the development of my company. Of course, this does not include my own financial problems."

In other words, she will find the funding herself, and apart from taxes and promotion, she just hopes that no one else will hinder her business.

"I can't answer you now. We need to hold a meeting to reach a consensus."

"Of course! If this goes well, I believe we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Jiang Yicheng and Chi Yuan left first, and Gu Yanbang was kept by Gu Jili.

"Xiao Bang, where did you find your goddaughter? In time, she will surely become a famous figure."

"Haha! It's thanks to her that I was transferred back to Beijing this time."

"Oh! What happened?"

Gu Jili suddenly became interested in her and was no longer in a hurry to start the meeting.

Gu Yanbang wanted to help Jiang Yicheng accomplish this, so he told him what happened.

"Her grandparents must be wise people to raise a child like her."

"Of course. Her parents are respectable too."

Gu Yanbang simply told her about her parents, and Gu Jili's opinion of her changed greatly at this time.

"I didn't expect she was a martyr's daughter. Don't worry, since she is so courageous, I won't interfere in this matter. But I still have to listen to other people's opinions. After all, I don't have the final say here."

Gu Jili was also very optimistic about Jiang Yichen. When he heard that she was a sophomore in high school, he understood why she said time was tight.

"Once this matter is settled, you can take her to visit the family."

"Uncle, let's not do that. She doesn't want to get involved in family affairs. When she adopted them as her godchildren, she said that she only recognized my husband and me. In fact, it was because her brother lacked parental love and was very dependent on my husband and me that she agreed."

Gu Yanbang always thought that Jiang Yichen was very independent, but Jiang Fengying guessed it and told him.

"That's actually the case. Since their father saved you, you should treat them well. We can't have ungrateful people in the Gu family. If this is what she meant, I respect her and won't tell your father."

Gu Jili is an upright man, and it is because of his character that he has been re-elected.

I have made up my mind that I will still take care of him secretly. After all, he is one of my own kids now, right?

Gu Yanbang understood what was going on and said goodbye and left.

Chi Yuan and Jiang Yicheng were waiting in the car. Gu Yanbang said with a smile as soon as he got in.

"Go back and wait for news! It's probably close to the truth."

"Thank you, godfather!"

"I didn't do anything. You're on your own. I'll be back soon. Will you come with me?"

"I have other things to do these days. If the dust settles here, I will come visit again when I have sorted it out."

"Okay, whatever you want!"

Gu Yanbang sent them to the gate of Shuimeng Garden and glanced at Chi Yuan when he left.

Gu Jili told him that Chi Yuan would go into politics in the future, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for him to get in touch with Jiang Yichen at this moment.

"Congratulations, you are one step closer to your goal."

"Hehe, this is just a small goal in my life. I want to be a strong woman."

Seeing Jiang Yichen smile, Chi Yuan was also happy for her.

"Hey! I want to go back and have some sleep first. I haven't slept well in the past two days."

"Yeah! Let's go."

Jiang Yichen slept until the afternoon, and when she woke up she was still a little dazed.

"Dong dong!"

"Chencheng, are you awake?"

Chi Yuan knocked on the door gently, and Jiang Yicheng came over in a daze to open the door.

"Would you like to eat? I'm ready."

Ikegaki asked her softly with a smile on his face.

"Okay! I'll be there in a minute."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yichen felt as if she was controlled by his smile and had lost her ability to think. The words that came out of her mouth made her close the door in embarrassment.

Seeing the door in front of him close, Chi Yuan was inexplicably grateful for his foresight. It turned out that he was right to listen to his grandfather!

Jiang Yichen didn't know that after Chi Yuan confirmed his feelings, he mobilized his entire family to work with him to find a way to win her heart.

After clearing away the frustration in his heart, Jiang Yichen became the rational and sober Jiang Yichen again.

After finishing her dinner quietly and refusing Chi Yuan's talk, she decisively went home to think about what to do next.

The next morning, she quietly left Shuimengyuan and went to Zhuangzi.

Tang Chao was a little surprised that Chi Yuan didn't go with her, and couldn't help but blurt out.

"Sister Jiang, you came here alone, didn't Brother Chi see you off?"

"Why do you ask?"

"He has always been concerned about you. Every time you come to Beijing, doesn't he always stay with you?"

Tang Chao's words once again sounded the alarm for her. When did she get used to his presence?

"He is him, and I am me. Everyone has their own business. We can't just revolve around one person."

Tang Chao was a little confused by Jiang Yichen's unreasonable words, and he asked her cautiously.

"Did you two quarrel?"

"No! Are you free?"

"No, I'm busy. I was just about to ask you! We have already negotiated with the army about this batch of watermelons. Do you want to keep some for the factory?"

Seeing that Jiang Yichen was a little angry, Tang Chao immediately got to the point.

"No need. Even if all the watermelons in the farm are sold out, I can still get them from other places."

"Eh? There is one more thing. This year, the income of the farm has all come from Mr. Zhao's flowers and trees. Now that the space has been taken up by the fruits, he has no place to plant more flowers. I have inquired about it. There is a small piece of sloping land not far from here. I don't know why there is no grass growing around it, so no one wants it."

"No grass growing? Where? Take me to see."

Jiang Yichen was a little curious. This wasn't the Great Northern Wilderness, but there was actually a place with no grass growing.

Seeing that she was interested, Tang Chao hurriedly drove her there. It was indeed not far, just a matter of stepping on the accelerator.

"Tang Chao, when the factory is back on track, I will reward you with a new car."

"Sister Jiang, you are so generous. But forget about the new car. A new car costs tens of thousands! And you have to have connections. Otherwise, I would be very satisfied if you could just give me a house."

"Well, I'll give you a surprise then."

Tang Chao thought Jiang Yicheng was joking and didn't take it seriously. He took Jiang Yicheng to the place he mentioned.

"It's this sloping land. Because there is no grass growing around it, no one is willing to plant anything on it for fear that the crops will be wasted."

Jiang Yicheng walked to the barren land to check the soil and got an idea. He walked up the slope again, dug it up with a stone, picked up a piece of hard soil, crushed it carefully and looked at it, and was surprised.

It turns out that the land under the slope is strongly alkaline, so no grass grows, but the soil on this slope is slightly acidic.

In her previous life, as a flower arranger, she had dealt with people who grew flowers and trees when she went to farm them. This was what others told her.

"We can take this piece of land. I have a way to change the properties of its soil. From now on, let Mr. Zhao plant flowers here. You can assign people to him."

"it is good!"

Tang Chao was very happy to have a large income again. He happily followed Jiang Yicheng for a walk and then went back to make arrangements.

This year, the village had no other income except for growing flowers. The people in the village were also worried, but when they saw the bumper harvest of watermelons, everyone was grinning from ear to ear.

Jiang Yichen simply stayed at the manor for two days. That day, Chi Yuan brought Gu Yanbang here.

"Chengcheng, my uncle agreed. I went looking for you but couldn't find you, and I happened to meet Chi Yuan, so he brought me here. This is the Zhuangzi that An An mentioned, it's pretty good."

"Captain Gu?"

"Yu Guang, why are you here?"

"Not only me, but Tangyuan is also here."

"Haha! What a coincidence! Chengcheng is the daughter of Captain Jiang."

"What? The young boss is Captain Jiang's daughter? That's great! If Captain Jiang is still alive, he would be happy too."

"Chengcheng, this Uncle Yu Guang used to be a soldier under your father."

"Uncle Guang, I'm sorry, I don't know."

"I've never seen you before. I only knew that the battalion commander had a very cute daughter. I didn't expect that she has grown up so fast. Great! Great!"

The 1.80-meter-tall big guy actually shed tears. Jiang Yichen didn't know what to say, and Gu Yanbang scolded him.

"Why are you crying, man? It's shameful!"

"No, the wind and sand blinded me. I didn't cry!"

Gu Yanbang said a few words to him, and then he left in a hurry. He was still busy in the field! He also wanted to tell Tangyuan the good news.

"I really didn't expect to meet my old brothers here. We haven't seen each other for many years since the disaster relief."

"Godfather, how about I take you around the farm? There's a mountain behind it. If you're interested, you can go up there. The people here are all veterans, and they go there often."

"Oh! Then turn around."

Gu Yanbang became interested and followed Jiang Yicheng. Chi Yuan hadn't said a word since he came, and Jiang Yicheng didn't take the initiative to talk to him.

Chi Yuan was a little flustered, not knowing what went wrong. But he was always calm, secretly observing her every move, thinking about how to solve it.

When Jiang Yichen took Gu Yanbang to visit Zhuangzi, he seemed to see two familiar people again.

"Are they Li Xun and Chu Zhonghui? Why are they here too? I heard that Li Xun retired from the army, and it turns out to be true."

"Godfather, you know both of them."

"Yes! I have seen them in a martial arts training exercise before. They are the leaders of the special forces' sharp knife battalion."

"So amazing? I only heard that Uncle Xun suffered from severe stress-related sequelae after a border war. Because he could no longer go to the battlefield, he took the initiative to retire."

"What about Chu Zhonghui?"

When Jiang Yicheng heard this, he turned his attention to Chi Yuan.

"He left for family reasons. He was the eldest son in the family, but after he joined the army, the responsibility of supporting his parents fell on his younger brother. Unfortunately, his younger brother fell into the water and died in an accident. His sister-in-law remarried with the child, and his parents fell ill in bed due to the grief of losing their son. Later, the village sent him an urgent telegram, so he retired from the army and went back to take care of the elderly until they both died of illness. He took all the blame on himself over the years, and his life was not easy. It was Uncle Xun who asked him to come."

Gu Yanbang didn't expect things to turn out this way and felt sorry for the two of them.
