Now Bai Zhe has moved his family to Chenxincun. After Li Ke sent Bai Zhe back, he went back by himself.
Her mother is still in Wenwu County and is reluctant to part with the small courtyard where she has lived for twenty years.
Li Ke promised Bai Zhe that after a period of time, after clearing his mother's ideological work, he would sell the small courtyard and move in together.
Gao Huilin and Jiang Qian immediately moved all their personal belongings over. Bai Zhe originally wanted to hire a nanny, but gave up the idea after the two tried to dissuade them.
In Jiang Qian's words, this is our shared home anyway, and it is also a pleasure to be able to do some housework after work.
If anyone doesn’t want to clean in the future, you can ask a housekeeper to clean your living area alone. This way, you can seek common ground while reserving differences.
Of course, Tang Yiran didn't have time to live here often. She rented Bai Zhe's house just to increase her presence.
Bai Zhe also promised them that they can stay here as long as they want. If one day you get tired of living there and want to buy a house to live outside, you can do so at any time, and we are also willing to provide them with part of the funds as their house purchase fund.
Speaking of houses, we have to talk about the developers who have been harassing Bai Zhe in recent times.
In fact, the word harassment is not quite accurate. It should be that he wanted to give Bai Zhe gifts all-pervasively for the purpose of developing real estate around Lishui Development Zone.
Lishui has now entered the urban area, and the increase in land value is certain.
They are actually engaged in reselling land under the guise of real estate development. Once they buy the land, they can build a few buildings and wait for the land to appreciate in value to earn a considerable price difference.
But Bai Zhe's attitude has always been very firm. Before the No. 2 Development Zone is completed, other areas will not be moved.
The reason for doing this is entirely to find a justifiable excuse for the development of the development zone. Bai Zhe's real idea is that if the land is easily sold to them, it will not be the management committee that has the final say on whether to develop it, but them. They can start construction whenever they want. If they occupy the manhole and don't shit, the management committee will have nothing to do with them.
Furthermore, there is an idiom called "Sit on the ground and raise the price", which refers to this situation.
With such a good location, they charge exorbitant prices, and even if they meet good developers, they will only be turned away.
Without the entry of good funds, the development of Lishui Town will be hindered.
Even if someone reluctantly comes in with funds, it is their personal pockets that end up being bulging, but those who buy houses are the ones who suffer the most.
Having seen this kind of thing happen too often, Bai Zhe naturally didn't want to become a pawn of capitalism.
Therefore, Bai Zhe has been waiting for a capable and responsible entrepreneur to join the development of Lishui. Not to mention giving gifts to Bai Zhe, he would be willing to accept Bai Zhe's backing.
Now that Qin Zhongwei has gone to the National Development and Reform Commission, it is not difficult for Bai Zhe to imagine that Lishui's future will be a city of emerging industrial economy, with highways, high-speed rails, and the Grand Canal, all of which will be implemented one by one.
Bai Zhe has thought about this issue carefully. The development of Lishui must be achieved step by step, and special efforts must be made in development planning to lay a solid foundation for future development and avoid obstacles and lack of funds that will be encountered later.
To use the most intuitive analogy, if area No. 2 falls into private hands, and houses are built haphazardly just to get subsidies, in the face of huge compensation payments, which company would dare to enter easily?
Let’s not talk about the distance. Let’s just talk about the South-to-North Water Diversion National Project, which was officially launched last year. It is still in the surveying and mapping stage. When the survey reaches Lishui and finds that there are many commercial houses, the people from the Surveying and Mapping Bureau will directly choose to bypass Lishui and pass through Wenwu County.
Needless to say here about the huge value brought about by the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
At that time, the great man personally guided the construction of Lishui Canal, which was only more than ten kilometers away from the Lishui Government.
If Bai Zhe missed a good opportunity due to his early work mistakes, wouldn't he become a sinner for the ages?
If he wants to avoid the tragedy in advance, Bai Zhe needs to do a lot of work in the early stage.
Just as she was sitting at the dinner table, picking up her rice bowl, the restaurant phone rang, and Jiang Qian quickly answered it.
After the call was connected, Jiang Qian listened and asked Bai Zhe, covering the phone:
"It's Qi Chao's call. He said he wanted to report to you about his work. I wanted to ask if it's convenient for you."
Bai Zhe put down the bowl and stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here, it's not inconvenient to talk about work."
Then he put the phone to his ear and Bai Zhe said calmly: "Go on, I'm listening."
Now Bai Zhe has developed a habit of turning off his mobile phone after get off work, in order to avoid bosses who want to make private appointments with Bai Zhe.
Whether it’s work or personal matters, everyone around you knows your home phone number.
"Brother Zhe, I want to meet and chat with you. Do you have time?"
Bai Zhe's eyes moved and he said, "We are eating right now, why don't you come directly to the house."
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
"No outsiders allowed..."
The last sentence was said by Bai Zhe and Qi Chao together.
The two of them smiled knowingly, and Qi Chao said: "I knew it, and there is no need to explain it in the future. Hang up first, and we will talk about it later when we meet."
"Um."
…
Qi Chao still drove his Camry and pressed the doorbell in front of the door. Bai Zhe sat in the living room and glanced at the surveillance camera, only to see someone following him.
This person is none other than Chen Xiaoshui.
It seems that as soon as the three-day period is up, Chen Xiaoshui's driver's license has been obtained, and Qi Chao is here to deliver the work.
Pressing the remote control casually, the iron door slowly opened. Qi Chao waved to Chen Xiaoshui, and the two of them walked in.
After eating, Bai Zhe asked Qin Shuya and the others to go back to their rooms to rest, leaving only his mother watching TV in the living room.
Qi Chao is not an outsider, but sometimes he shouldn't be too ostentatious.
As soon as he entered the door, his mother cordially welcomed Qi Chao into the living room, saying that she wanted to wash fruits for Qi Chao to eat.
After his mother went to the kitchen, Qi Chao took out Chen Xiaoshui's driver's license, slapped it hard in front of Bai Zhe, turned around and sat down opposite Bai Zhe.
"Brother, how efficient is your work? You didn't disappoint Secretary Bai, did you?"
"good."
Bai Zhe picked it up and took a look, then looked up at Chen Xiaoshui who was still standing in front of the door and didn't dare to go in. He pointed at the sofa and said, "Come and sit here, don't stand."
After cleaning up, Chen Xiaoshui seemed to be a different person.
He is not handsome by any means, but at least he has shaved his hair short and put on clean clothes. He is more energetic, but there is still timidity and caution in his eyes.
Seeing Bai Zhe's kind expression, Chen Xiaoshui looked at Qi Chao hesitantly.
This guy is so realistic, even after being led by Qi Chao for several days, he still looks at his eyes.
Qi Chao smiled and scolded: "Your great benefactor has already spoken, why do you still want to see me? Come and sit."
"Thanks."
Nodding heavily, Chen Xiaoshui walked to the sofa, bowed to Bai Zhe first, then stood in front of Qi Chao and stopped moving.
Maybe Chen Xiaoshui was not used to the unfamiliar environment, so he didn't dare to sit down on the sofa at all.
Qi Chao was about to scold him when Bai Zhe smiled and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't make it difficult for him."
As he spoke, he looked up at Chen Xiaoshui and asked, "Can you drive now?"
"meeting."
Cherish words like gold.
Qi Chao added: "You don't know, this guy is very talented in driving. He can learn it as soon as he learns it. I just let him drive it when I came here. It's very smooth."
Bai Zhe nodded: "That's good."
Then Qi Chao breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"Brother Zhe, what kind of eyes do you have? How did you tell that he is suitable to be a driver?"
Bai Zhe smiled faintly: "Haha, this is normal. He happens to have no job, and I happen to be short of a driver. This is God's will. No one can predict the future."
"Qi Chao, come and eat some fruit." Mom put a plate of apples on the coffee table.
Qi Chao quickly raised his buttocks and said politely: "Auntie, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not an outsider."
My mother smiled and said, "Auntie is not the only one who has to worry about what you said."
Qi Chao smiled, reached for the apple and ate it.
Mom looked at Chen Xiaoshui again and asked Bai Zhe, "Who is he?"
Bai Zhe smiled and said, "Mom, this is the driver I just found. Just call him Xiao Shui."
"Oh, Xiao Shui..."
As she spoke, my mother personally took a big apple and stuffed it into Chen Xiaoshui's hand.
"Son, take it quickly. Being a driver for Bai Zhe is very hard."
Facing his mother's kind care, Chen Xiaoshui felt his hands reaching out, looked up at his mother and shook his head.
"I'm not hungry……"
Bai Zhe stood up and said to Chen Xiaoshui, "If my mother gives it to you, just take it."
Chen Xiaoshui took the apple with both hands and bowed to his mother: "Thank you."
Bai Zhe was very satisfied with his reaction. At least through mind reading, he understood that this child was not the kind of homeless man who was hungry and unscrupulous. At least he knew how to keep his duty.
This is very important for a driver.
"Mom, Xiaoshui doesn't have a home. You should arrange a room for him now and let him live at home from now on. It will be more convenient to pick him up and drop him off. In addition, he can help with the rough work at home, which will save you a lot of trouble. .”
Mom nodded in agreement, looked at Chen Xiaoshui and said, "Okay, he seems to be a poor child, and he knows the rules so well, come with me."
Chen Xiaoshui bowed to Bai Zhe and Qi Chao respectively, and then followed his mother towards a guest room on the first floor.
This is the first time that Chen Xiaoshui feels like home since he has grown up. Everything is fresh in his eyes, and he always has to take a second look before reluctantly turning away.
His mother introduced him to the guest room and explained everything about his daily life. Chen Xiaoshui bowed to show that he understood. This move made his mother very happy.
Qi Chao was eating the apple and seemed hesitant to speak. Bai Zhe understood his thoughts and asked directly with a smile: "You came all the way here not just to bring Chen Xiaoshui, right?"
Qi Chao smiled helplessly: "I can't hide anything from you. I do have something I need to ask you for advice."
"you say."
Bai Zhe leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs.
Qi Chao pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it's about the company's development direction."
After saying that, he put down the apple core, took out a paper towel and wiped his hands, and said: "I have been thinking these past few days that it is difficult for our company to grow and develop with catering alone. It is better to develop other projects to alleviate the financial constraints. question."
Bai Zhe looked at Qi Chao without moving and asked, "What do you think? Tell me everything and I will listen."
"Actually, my idea is not too mature yet and needs your approval. I am considering that the Lishui Hotel has been replaced by us, and the momentum of our development in Lishui can attract many migrant workers. If it is so good, If the resources are not utilized, I always feel it is a waste.”
After talking for a long time, he was still beating around the bush, and Bai Zhe frowned slightly.
Because at this moment, he already knew Qi Chao's thoughts. He was planning to open an entertainment club in Lishui.
This idea was exactly the same as Jin Shanshan's, and Bai Zhe immediately became more vigilant.
Could it be that Qi Chao was also bewitched by someone?
