After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 373

Gao Second Sister was wholeheartedly trying to coax Pei JianGuo first, but she didn't know that everything she said now was being heard clearly by a big white mouse hiding in the dark.

Yuan Bao rushed back home and directly into ZhiXia's room. Pei Jing was also inside, which made the cheering Yuan Bao instantly not dare to make trouble anymore. It obediently walked over with its legs.

ZhiXia took off the thing she had tied around its neck. Inside was a small recorder. She turned on the recorder and heard everything Gao Second Sister and Pei JianGuo had said in the ward clearly.

"According to my current understanding, Gao Second Sister's next step should be to get into real estate. Pei JianGuo was transferred to the Construction Bureau by coincidence. He is muddled-headed and is likely to be used by Gao Second Sister to do some irregular things. If this is really the case, will it affect you?" ZhiXia didn't care about Pei JianGuo at all. She was just afraid that Pei Jing would be implicated.

After all, Pei Jing's current identity was somewhat special. Even if he was not involved in this matter, it would definitely have an impact on his future promotion.

Pei Jing sighed. He also knew that ZhiXia's worries were not groundless.

Pei JianGuo's biggest shortcoming was not that he was stupid but unaware of it, but that he was fickle, especially when those around him had problems, which made him even more likely to be taken advantage of and impulsive.

"Don't worry about this. I'll pay special attention to his side."

Pei JianGuo stayed in the hospital for several days, then went home to recuperate for a period of time before he could go to work.

At the same time, the date for the 1st land auction held by the government was determined.

There were also quite a few rich people in Jin City, as well as some external investors who were paying attention to this matter. But there were few who were really ready to take action.

After all, Jin City was different from Shen City. The latter was a key economic development zone with people coming and going all the time. The demand for real estate exceeded supply, so prices rose naturally fast.

But Jin City was in the early stages of development. The local rich already had their own properties. Ordinary workers might not be able to afford them. Even if they could afford them, few would buy houses recklessly. Most still relied on the housing that could be allocated by their work units.

As for the few outsiders who came to the city to make a living, most wanted to make money and go back to their hometowns to build houses. The thinking of most people was to return to their roots. Unless forced to the extreme, few would choose to leave their comfort zone.

On Pei JianGuo’s first day back at work in the government, he was called into the office by the leader.

At first, there were concerns and Pei JianGuo was excited, thinking that this was the leader's appreciation of him, so he would offer more condolences after his injury had healed.

However, the tone changed and the leader handed Pei JianGuo a post, "I heard from your former leader in the government that you have a capable aunt who, at a young age, has set up a factory. Although Hongfeng Appliances has not existed for a long time, it has been very popular in the past six months. You can hear this name wherever you go. It is said that the capable person works more. This land auction is the first one held by our Construction Bureau. We have to make it sensational. Since you have this relationship, you might as well send a post to Manager An and ask if she intends to expand into the real estate industry. This is the task assigned to our city by higher authorities, and the government has also given great support. If handled properly, it will benefit all of us."

The smile on Pei JianGuo's face froze instantly.

If it had been some time ago, he would have happily taken on this task.

But after the recent conflict, asking An ZhiXia again would be like begging her. Pei JianGuo couldn’t swallow that.

Moreover, he also knew that Qingcheng attached great importance to this real estate auction, regarding it as the capital that could help turn things around in the future. If An ZhiXia was invited, wouldn't that mean there would be one more opponent for Qingcheng?

An ZhiXia was unwilling to help on her side, and Qingcheng lost almost all the controllers she had bought, only managing to sell them to others at half the purchase price.

She did consider producing other parts on her own so that she could compete with Hongfeng Appliances, but the production of home appliances required a lot of machinery, which was another huge investment.

Gao Second Sister's funds were limited, so she didn't dare move any of it at all at the moment.

After thinking twice about it, she decided to keep enough capital for future real estate development. After making money in real estate, the loss on those controllers would be nothing.

Holding the post in his hand, Pei JianGuo struggled for a while before going to see Gao Qing to share his difficulties. After all, she was the only one he could talk to now.

However, Gao Second Sister had ideas of her own. "Since that’s the case, just don't give it to her. Leaders won't know anyway. They will definitely think she is not interested herself. JianGuo, don't think I’m being petty. I just don't want to see you so embarrassed."

Pei JianGuo smiled and said fondly, "I know you mean well, but I have to not only deliver this post but also make sure she agrees to participate."

Otherwise, why would the leader give him this task in the first place?

It was precisely because of the relationship between them that the leader wanted him to persuade An ZhiXia to come and participate, and even hoped that she could win the bid.

Pei JianGuo had been in the workplace for so many years after all. He could see through the leader's intentions.

Although there were several Hong Kong investors, it was well known that while Hong Kong investors had money, they were hard to deal with, while An ZhiXia’s Hongfeng Appliances was right there in Jin City. She herself was the major shareholder of Huasheng Hotel. As the big boss behind the Shen City Jiaoyan, all this was common knowledge.

The An family had once been a prominent local clan. If she succeeded in attracting investment, not only was she rich, she would definitely be more cooperative, and would try her best to cooperate with the government’s planning.

As for those Hong Kong investors, who knew if they would cooperate with the government? Relying on their wealth, they might even make all kinds of demands.

The land for this auction was located in downtown Jin City. The Construction Bureau had completed the planning, intending to turn the land into a large shopping mall to attract more visitors.

Once the flow of people increased, development would naturally get better and better.

Seeing Gao Second Sister bow her head in thought, Pei JianGuo took out another post from his bag, "Don't worry, I got one for you too. Although the leader hopes that my aunt can win the bid, since it's an investment promotion event after all, the final price will definitely determine the winner."

Upon hearing this, Gao Second Sister became even more embarrassed. "Of course I know that. That's why I'm worried. After my brother was cheated on those fan controllers, my brother and I have very limited funds left. I don't know if there will be another chance in the future if we lose the bid."

Pei JianGuo smiled and comforted her without realizing what she meant, "Don't worry about this. If the planning this time is very successful, there will only be more such opportunities in the future. Even if we don't succeed this time, there will always be a next time."

Gao Second Sister was so annoyed. This idiot didn't get her hint at all.

But she still had to maintain her image of being kind and generous in front of Pei JianGuo and couldn't ask him directly for help.

She must not give An ZhiXia the post either.

An ZhiXia already had such great achievements in the home appliance industry. Why did she have to come and compete with her for real estate too?!

Although it wasn't hers yet, one more competitor meant her chances could only be lower.

But before she could do anything, Gao Second Sister and her brother Gao Dalin were arrested the day before their scheduled licensing.

Pei JianGuo was still busy running around for them. It was only then that he realized that Gao Second Sister and Gao Dalin's money was obtained through smuggling.

When the four special economic zones first opened up, there were quite a few who got rich like this too.

Pei JianGuo's superiors told him that if he wanted to keep his position, he should keep his distance from Gao Second Sister as much as possible.

Because this time, senior officials wanted to investigate Gao Second Sister.

ZhiXia was at home talking to Pei Jing on the phone.

He told her that Gao Second Sister had been taken care of. With all the daring things the siblings were involved in illegal business, and the amount was considerable. Moreover, legal institutions were still lacking at present, and everything would be subject to severe penalties. The hope for them to get out was small. In more serious cases, the death penalty might even be sentenced.

The first land auction held by the government ended, and the winner was a Hong Kong businessman. Know Xia was in this circle and it was not difficult to hear about such things, but she did not take it to heart.

A person's energy is always limited, Gao Dalin and his sister have gone in, she still decided to put more mind on the appliance factory.

Once met the leader of the government department in Huasheng after eating. He asked if she was not interested in real estate. She then knew that Pei JianGuo had sent her a post for the last auction, but she did not receive it.

She knew the reason without thinking since Gao Second Sister had not had an accident yet.

But she did not know whether Gao Second Sister destroyed the post and Pei JianGuo chose to cover up, or thought that Pei JianGuo deliberately held a grudge against her. After all, the two had disagreed more than once.

She would not cover up for Pei JianGuo and told the leader straightforwardly that she did not receive the post.

It could be seen that the leader's face turned gloomy instantly.

After entering the Huasheng Hotel, she knew that the person who had dinner with him today was the Hong Kong businessman who won the bid. However, it seemed that the cooperation between them was not so pleasant.

Even for government departments, the treatment of begging others to invest and others begging them to invest is worlds apart.

Moreover, whether rich or powerful, who is willing to flatter others?

Gao Dalin had always been wary of his wife in money and business. So after Gao Dalin was arrested, his wife did not commit a crime, and promptly applied for a divorce and quickly severed all ties.

Only the small building of the Gao family was sealed, which was originally sold to Gao Dalin with her bride price money, so she had nowhere to go. She knew even clearer that if she returned to her natal family, her father could sell her a second time if he could sell her a second time, maybe to an old man much older than Gao Dalin, still better than Gao Dalin.

With no one to turn to, she could only think of Pei JianGuo.

Because Gao Second Sister was arrested, and Pei JianGuo had suffered consecutive setbacks at work recently, the contradictions between Pei JianGuo and Wang Yue were also on the verge of breaking out.

He felt very upset, simply hid out and moved back to his old house, at least it could be quieter.

Liu Chunhua knew Pei JianGuo's address, so she went directly to find him.

At this time, she was still pregnant with Gao Dalin's child, already three months, and had not started to show.

She knocked on the door, and no one opened it.

But Liu Chunhua refused to give up. At this point, Pei JianGuo could not be not at home.

Moreover, in the two days after Gao Dalin was arrested, he told her that if she encountered difficulties, she could come here to find him.

Knowing that he still had to go to work during the day, Liu Chunhua deliberately chose this time when he was off work to come.

After knocking for a long time, a hoarse voice came from inside, "Coming..."

The door opened, and the smell of broken wine rushed over, making the pregnant Liu Chunhua nauseous for a moment.

Pei JianGuo's face was flushed, he opened the door and turned back again, without even saying hello.

Liu Chunhua walked in, and saw the room in a mess.

Pei JianGuo sat casually on the floor, his white shirt was already messy, and there were two bottles of wine lying around his feet.

"Oh my god, how much did you drink?" Liu Chunhua asked in surprise.

"Hehe..." Pei JianGuo was no longer sober, he laughed mockingly twice, picked up the wine bottle and took a few more sips.

"Stop drinking, how can you do this?"

Liu Chunhua hurriedly went to grab the bottle in his hand. Pei JianGuo did not compete with her and casually threw it away, smacked his lips, and lay directly on the stiff floor.

She took great pains to wake him up and help him lie down in the bedroom.

She originally came to ask him for help, but seeing him drunk like this, she guessed this trip was in vain.

Liu Chunhua looked at the mess in the living room, and out of habit of doing housework, she tidied it up.

After tidying up the living room, looking at the clean and tidy place in front of her, she felt more comfortable.

But there was still some smell of alcohol that had not dissipated, a little unpleasant.

She found a porcelain bottle, drew some water, and took a towel to the bedroom.

After drinking more than a bottle of liquor, even with a fan blowing, Pei JianGuo was covered in sweat, feeling like his whole body was on fire, and he was uncomfortable no matter how he slept, tossing and turning restlessly.

Liu Chunhua dipped the towel in cold water to wipe his face. His shirt had already been torn open by himself due to the heat, revealing a large piece of chest.

Unlike Gao Dalin's coarseness, Pei JianGuo was handsome, and even with some stubble on his chin, it did not detract from his good looks at all, but rather gave a sense of decadent beauty.

Liu Chunhua stared blankly for a moment.

Such a good man, why was he abused by that shrew Gao Second Sister?

And her, the villagers all said she was beautiful, but could only devote herself to the sloppy, ugly and unclean Gao Dalin!

As Liu Chunhua looked at him, she thought of her experiences in recent times, the scenes of being forced and repeatedly insulted by Gao Dalin, and she could not help but shed tears of grievance.

Gao Second Sister and Gao Dalin had broken the law, and she was finally liberated, but there was still this evil seed in her belly, and her future life was also desolate and at a loss, what should she do?

She hesitated repeatedly, and finally put her hand on Pei JianGuo's chest.

Perhaps this was the opportunity left to her by heaven, and it was also the only opportunity she could grasp at the moment.
