She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

That evening, Wang Jiaojiao and Wang Xin escorted the Lu family members back.

Upon reaching the entrance, Wang Xin looked towards the gate.

After waiting for a long time without seeing Qin Yu, Wang Xin disappointedly lowered the curtain.

Wang Jiaojiao saw this, but could only pull Wang Xin back.

Wang Xin thought that she would no longer have an excuse to contact Qin Yu.

Unexpectedly, Old Master Wang finished the jar of wine that the Lu family had given him.

I really like this wine.

They were actually urging them to find the Lu family for the secret to brewing wine.

He once again had an excuse to follow Qin Yu around every day.

At this moment, however, Qin Yu was still focused on his own affairs.

After the New Year, Qin Yu also got busy.

Xu Shaoting planned to leave on the fifth day of the second lunar month because of matters in Yuzhou.

Before that, Qin Yu had consulted with Xu Shaoting about the matter.

They wanted Xu Shaoting to step in and find out about Zhao Lin's land purchase.

"You're going to build houses for those workers?"

Xu Shaoting never expected that Qin Yu would think this way.

In his eyes, those workers were already receiving the best treatment.

Even after traveling all over the country for so long, I have never heard of such a benefit.

Wages were the priority, and holiday gifts were something he had never even considered.

"I don't quite understand what you're thinking?"

They never even considered building houses for them.

"This isn't building a house, this is a living Bodhisattva!"

There's absolutely no way that's possible!

Qin Yu was not angry because of Xu Shaoting's words.

A confident smile graced her fair face.

It may be difficult for them to understand.

However, it has already been implemented in the future.

She knew about the housing allocation process.

This is a welfare housing unit provided by the work unit, but it is not entirely owned by them.

"Don't worry, we'll allocate housing to those who do well and stay long enough, and they'll dedicate themselves to the factory."

"For them, moving out of the poor and remote area and buying a house is the biggest expense. It would be a waste for them to do a lifetime of hard labor in order to buy a house."

"Providing them with welfare housing only means giving them preferential treatment in housing, not that they own the housing entirely. They can only be allocated a housing quota after working in the union for a certain number of years. This also avoids worker mobility."

Qin Yu gave a detailed analysis.

Xu Shaoting gradually relaxed his brows.

I felt that Qin Yu's idea, though bold, was highly feasible.

This will only make them work even harder for the factory in the future.

This saves them the time of traveling back and forth, as well as the cost of renting expensive accommodations.

"That's certainly a good idea, but it will also cost us a lot of money."

Xu Shaoting is a businessman who only cares about how much profit he makes.

Welfare was already unfamiliar to him, let alone a benefit like housing allocation.

It sounds like they're doing good deeds!

"I don't need a big house, this kind of house is fine!"

As Qin Yu spoke, he took out the blueprints.

It's a simple courtyard with two rooms, a storage room, a kitchen, and a main hall, all by itself.

This house is already better than most people's houses.

"That's easy!"

Xu Shaoting looked at the blueprints from left to right and gave her a positive answer.

"A simple house in a great location, who wouldn't want one!"

"What's more, there's a chance to get it for free."

Xu Shaoting gave Qin Yu an approving look.

"You really are a living bodhisattva!"

Xu Shaoting couldn't help but tease him.

Qin Yu smiled but remained silent.

She's no living saint.

This matter has two sides.

It's about mutual benefit, not just for her sake.

Factory workers work year after year, and when they reach a certain state of mind...

They might find their work annoying, their work distance too far, or their work meaningless.

I get annoyed with my work environment when I'm waiting for heavy snow or rain.

Instead, give them a big pie in front of them, so they know that one day they will be able to eat it.

Only then will life have something to look forward to.

If you just say you can live in a house like this for free, who wouldn't want to work hard?

With their attitude, I can at least avoid a lot of trouble!

To put it more broadly...

These people all moved to nearby villages, and then proposed to the county magistrate that the two villages be merged to build a place called New Rural Area.

It not only enabled the construction of official roads, but also solved a large part of the people's livelihood issues.

The county magistrate was overjoyed; in modern times, this would be considered an outstanding young entrepreneur.

When the population reaches a certain level, it is no longer called a town.

In the end, she wasn't a living saint either.

Her ultimate goal was to get them all to move out.

She used all the surrounding land to hire people to cultivate it, and planned to turn the rest into her own agritainment estate.

Therefore, all of this is inevitable.

Everything she does is for her own benefit!

"Since you put it that way, I will go to the county magistrate tomorrow and designate a piece of land."

Xu Shaoting naturally agreed.

If it weren't for anything else, but because these people could bring him profit, he shouldn't stop them.

Ultimately, it's all for the good of the factory, so there's no reason not to agree.

Seeing that Xu Shaoting had agreed, the two exchanged a few more words.

Xu Shaoting hesitated for a long time, not daring to look her in the eye.

"I......"

Hearing Xu Shaoting's hesitant words, Qin Yu thought he had encountered some trouble.

Ask the man.

"You? Where are you in trouble?"

Qin Yu asked, but the man didn't seem to be in any trouble, which puzzled him.

Xu Shaoting wanted to tell Qin Yu that he was about to get engaged.

But when the words were on the tip of my tongue, I didn't know how to say them.

"My father wanted to find me a marriage partner!"

After Xu Shaoting finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yu's face.

It was as if they needed to see some different expression on the woman's face to understand.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't receive a single word of response from the woman.

Qin Yu lowered his eyes, thinking to himself, "Isn't this a good thing?"

And she had also heard some of it.

"Actually, I've heard about it from Manager Du. I heard that the girl is both beautiful and has a wonderful personality. Getting engaged is a good thing!"

Ever since Qin Yu learned of Xu Shaoting's feelings for her...

She firmly rejected him.

He also said that if he felt that their cooperation was also affected, he could end the cooperation.

Although it was clear that Xu Shaoting was unwilling, and even his gaze towards her was filled with mixed feelings.

At one point, I even doubted whether I hadn't rejected him thoroughly enough.

Now that she's heard about the engagement, she's naturally overjoyed.

"Actually, I..."

Xu Shaoting wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw the coldness in Qin Yu's eyes.

I remembered that she had said before that she wanted to end the partnership.

He immediately swallowed what he was about to say.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, he told his father that if he couldn't give away the lanterns, he would have to accept them.

Now he knows he shouldn't have said another word.

Thinking of this, he knew he couldn't say anything more and could only swallow the few words that came out of his throat.

"Actually, I've met her before. Just as you said, she's gentle and generous!"

Xu Shaoting said no more and accepted the agreement.
