After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

The years pass by like a mayfly from morning to night. In the blink of an eye, it is another busy year.

Jiang Yan stood in front of the window of the company's office, holding the People's Daily of that day in his hand. There was a report on real estate development in the south in the newspaper.

"Allowing the transfer of land use rights for a fee..." These words echoed in his mind again and again.

"Old Jiang, please sign the freight settlement form for this batch of goods," Qin Song pushed the door open and came in with a stack of documents in his hand.

Jiang Yan took the receipt but didn't sign it immediately. Instead, he pointed at the newspaper and asked, "Lao Qin, have you read this?"

Qin Song leaned over and took a quick look, then laughed, "Real estate? Isn't that what those big bosses in the south do?"

Jiang Yan sat back in his leather chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "I'm thinking, maybe we should make some changes."

"What's changed?" Qin Song looked up in confusion.

"Real estate," Jiang Yan spat out these three words, his eyes gleaming. "Shenzhen and Shanghai are already hot. I heard that a piece of land can be resold several times over. As the capital, Beijing will sooner or later usher in a construction boom."

Qin Song frowned. "Old Jiang, we're doing well in the transportation business, making a profit of one to eight hundred thousand a year. Why would we want to venture into an unfamiliar industry?"

Jiang Yan stood up and paced back and forth in the office. "Lao Qin, we've been in the transportation business for so many years, and the market has stabilized. Furthermore, there are now many new transport teams emerging in Beijing, and the price war is making profits increasingly thinner. Real estate is different; it's a golden industry for at least the next twenty years."

Qin Song still shook his head, "It's too risky! We don't understand construction, and we don't understand policy. What if we get caught..."

"I'm not saying we'll start right away," Jiang Yan paused, his tone firm. "I plan to investigate first, learn from their experience, and get a feel for the situation. You take care of the transport team first, and I'll make a decision once I've figured it out."

In the following months, Jiang Yan spent most of his time learning new knowledge.

One evening, as the sun set, the golden afterglow sprinkled on the calm waters of Shichahai, reflecting a rippling ripple.

Jiang Yan pushed open the familiar red-painted gate of the courtyard, and the door hinges made a familiar "creaking" sound.

In the yard, the nanny Aunt Wang was hanging out to dry the freshly washed clothes. When she saw him come back, she quickly put down the work in her hands.

"Mr. Jiang is back," Aunt Wang greeted with a smile. "Xiao Sheng is in high spirits today, babbling non-stop."

Xiaosheng is the son of Jiang Yan and Shen Xiaoxia, and his full name is Jiang Musheng.

Jiang Yan smiled gently and took off his coat and hung it on the hanger by the door. "Where's Xia Xia?"

"She's playing with Xiaosheng in the inner room," Aunt Wang pointed towards the main room. "It seems Xiaosheng can call me 'Dad' today. She's so happy!"

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Yan's eyes lit up and he walked towards the inner room in two steps. As soon as he reached the corridor, he heard the baby's giggling and Shen Xiaoxia's gentle voice coming from inside.

"Xiao Sheng is awesome, can you call me 'Mom' again?"

Pushing open the door, Jiang Yan saw Shen Xiaoxia sitting on the floor covered with a thick cotton mat, teasing their one-year-old son.

The little guy was wearing red clothes, and had two big eyes like black grapes embedded in his round face. When he saw Jiang Yan come in, he immediately waved his little hands and made a "ba ba" sound with his mouth.

"Did you hear that? He really can call me daddy!" Shen Xiaoxia looked up, her eyes sparkling with joy. She was wearing simple home clothes at the moment, her hair was casually tied behind her head, and her face was without makeup, she still looked like a girl.

"Really?" Jiang Yan's heart warmed up, and he quickly stepped forward and took his son from Shen Xiaoxia.

The little guy had a faint scent of milk on him, and his soft little body twisted in his arms. His little hands grabbed his tie and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Oh, you can't eat this," Jiang Yan smiled and rescued the tie from the little guy's mouth, then gently rubbed his son's face with his beard, making little Mu Sheng giggle.

Shen Xiaoxia watched the heartwarming interaction between the father and son, her eyes filled with tenderness. She stood up and straightened her clothes. "Are you hungry? I'll ask Aunt Wang to heat up some food."

"No rush," Jiang Yan held his son and sat on the mat, "We'll eat later."

Shen Xiaoxia looked at him, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Jiang Yan teased his son, "Nothing major happened at the transport team today. Qin Song handled it very well. Seeing that nothing was wrong, I wanted to come back early to accompany you."

Shen Xiaoxia nodded, poured him a cup of warm tea and handed it to him, "How is the transportation team's business recently?"

"Not bad, but the competition is getting more and more fierce." Jiang Yan took a sip of tea, frowning slightly. "Now there are more people doing transportation, and the profit margin has been squeezed a lot. I'm considering..."

Before he could finish his words, little Mu Sheng in his arms suddenly twisted his body, his little face wrinkled into a ball, and he hummed in dissatisfaction.

Seeing her son's expression, Shen Xiaoxia knew that he had urinated. She smiled and took the child from Jiang Yan's arms, "Aunt Li, Xiaosheng needs a diaper change!"

The family hired two nannies, one to take care of the daily life of the two, and the other to help Shen Xiaoxia take care of the children.

Aunt Li, the babysitter, came over and skillfully took Xiao Sheng to the next room for treatment.

For a moment, only the couple were left in the room.

Jiang Yan looked at Shen Xiaoxia's figure, his eyes filled with tenderness. He reached out and held Shen Xiaoxia's hand, "Xia Xia, thank you for your hard work."

He is very busy with work, so most of Xiao Musheng's affairs are handled by Shen Xiaoxia.

Shen Xiaoxia held his hand back, a smile in her eyes, "Xiaosheng is usually very well behaved, and with Aunt Li helping me, it's not particularly tiring. But you, on the other hand, have been so busy lately that you've lost weight."

Jiang Yan touched his face and asked, "You haven't lost weight, have you?"

Seeing his movements, Shen Xiaoxia also pinched his face and said with a smile, "A little bit!"

Jiang Yan took out a brown paper bag from his briefcase. "By the way, I met some friends today and got some information. Take a look."

Shen Xiaoxia took the paper bag curiously and opened it. Inside was a stack of documents about Beijing's land planning and real estate development. She quickly glanced through a few pages, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "You want to invest in real estate?"

Jiang Yan nodded, his eyes flashing with eagerness. "Xia Xia, now that the policy has been relaxed, allowing private participation in real estate development, I've observed for a long time that the demand for housing in Beijing is growing. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Shen Xiaoxia flipped through the documents thoughtfully. Although she knew that the real estate industry was indeed a good direction, she said, "But we don't understand this industry at all. Will the risks be too great?"

"So I made some preparations," Jiang Yan pulled a notebook from the bottom of the paper bag. "Over the past six months, I've visited almost every residential complex under construction in Beijing and talked to many people in the industry. Look, this is the information and market analysis I compiled."

Shen Xiaoxia opened the notebook and saw it was filled with various data, charts, and hand-drawn maps. The handwriting was neat and clear. She looked up at Jiang Yan in surprise, "When did you do this?"

"Some of it was done at the company, and some was done at night after you and Xiaosheng fell asleep," Jiang Yan smiled. "Sometimes when the transport team was on their way, I would stop by the various construction sites."
