Li Yang couldn’t answer.
How would he know if Jiang Banxia is good at it, but thinking about it, she probably isn’t bad.
Finally, the reply to Xiangnu: My son and she are just ordinary friends. Of course, I wouldn’t rule out that kid hiding a relationship. Any new updates, I’ll let you know first thing.
Only then did Xiangnu let it go.
Unknowingly, August 3rd had arrived.
On this day, early in the morning, Li Yang received a phone call saying his notification letter had arrived.
By the ti he and his family ca downstairs, Jiang Banxia’s family of four had also arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Then, Wang Cuiping and Dou Ying were already prepared with their phones, capturing the entire process of receiving the notification letter.
After returning ho, Li Likun hurriedly wiped the living room table, even though it was very clean.
This honor was truly earned, so Li Yang confidently opened it.
Throughout the process, Xue Ning and Wang Cuiping recorded everything, even using two caras for filming.
The notification letter itself was a beautiful piece of art; for undergraduates, it had a hard badge from the university hall, along with a map inside.
After the unboxing ended, Li Yang didn’t bother with it; after all, his parents and Xue Ning should appreciate it properly.
At this ti, Jiang Banxia had already sent a picture, asking: "How is it? Isn’t it cool?"
The picture showed her holding the notification letter, taken in the living room.
Li Yang posted a badge in return.
This badge was given by the Guanghua School of Managent, but Jiang Banxia’s finance departnt wasn’t under it; they were just in the sa faculty.
"[Angry] [Angry], lend the badge..."
Everything else was similar, but even an extra plastic button could make a difference at this mont.
Li Yang replied: "Borrowing from others is embarrassing."
"Then what should I do? Should I repeat a year?"
"Haha, I think it’s a good idea... You can co next year as my junior. I’ll look after you."
As for Jiang Banxia, repeating a year was out of the question; she’d attend first and deal with it later.
The two had just finished chatting when they saw each other’s parents posting updates on their social dia.
Li Likun and Wang Cuiping initially didn’t know how to use WeChat, but within this short month, they beca more proficient than anyone.
They posted several updates in a row, all boasting about the notification letter.
Clicking on mom’s video, the opening line was: "My son has received the Jing University notification letter..."
Li Likun was much more reserved; his video began with: "The Li Family’s ancestors finally proved effective; those years of burning paper weren’t in vain. Oh right, they burned Old Wang’s yellow paper..."
His dad definitely got sponsored!
With the notification letter arrived, many things could imdiately be arranged.
Likewise, Li Yang and Jiang Banxia needed to perform a few rounds.
Taking photos at school and collecting bonuses.
Attending etings at the Education Bureau and collecting bonuses.
Finally, the Green Water Group; Bai Qing personally took out four hundred thousand and handed it out at the Education Bureau site.
However, she didn’t co personally but asked Yang Shanshan to handle it.
Posing for photos and group pictures kept them busy all day. Li Yang, being the top scorer, received an additional reward of twenty thousand, totaling three hundred thousand overall.
...
At the construction site, Li Yijun looked at Li Lifa and Li Lilou, handed each a cigarette, and said: "Uncles, I’m transferring this site to soone else, and I won’t be able to help you much in the future. Besides, Yangyang’s family has invited back for the graduation banquet. You two should co back with ."
Li Yijun thought Li Yang was having these two suffer a bit.
Indeed, they were slacking, their work pace much slower than others, and their work was shoddy.
Often, he had to call people for repairs; watching them for over a month had been exhausting.
Anyway, this month had been tough for them, and they hadn’t earned much.
Considering they were only a few hours from pouring concrete, and their work wasn’t even two-thirds done, with many areas not up to standard, hiring people was necessary.
Moreover, the cost of hiring was on them.
After all, that section was contracted to them—a floor for more than two thousand yuan; if the job wasn’t done, it was their responsibility.
Doing it themselves was the most cost-effective; combined, they could’ve earned nearly twenty thousand yuan a month, but they’d made barely ten thousand, running into debt.
Upon hearing they had to go back, Li Lifa and the two imdiately refused.
Returning ho ant contributing a share; otherwise, neighbors would gossip.
If they didn’t return, they had an excuse: busy work at the site, couldn’t leave, and whether they made up the contribution later, who would know?
If they didn’t give the contribution then and there, the whole town would know—how embarrassing would that be?
Moreover, contributions couldn’t be skimpy; they needed at least two thousand as a baseline.
Asking them to fork out two thousand? More painful than asking for their lives.
"Jun, our work here isn’t finished."
Li Lifa found an excuse.
Li Yijun said helplessly: "Uncles, when I was here, everything was negotiable, but with not here, how can I speak for you?"
"No worries, we’ll work diligently; no one will criticize us."
Li Lifa still insisted, even uttering such shaless words.
Diligent?
If you were diligent, dogs would attend school.
Li Yijun sighed and said, "Two uncles, I’m putting it bluntly here. I’m leaving this construction site, and whatever happens after has nothing to do with . Tomorrow I’ll clear all the accounts, settle everything cleanly on the spot."
"We know."
Li Yijun reminded them again, "This construction schedule is too tight. I’m really worried that you uncles won’t be able to handle it physically. Why don’t you co with and go back?"
Li Lilou chid in at this mont, effectively killing the negotiation.
"A tight schedule is good, a tight schedule ans making money!"
Li Yijun was speechless on the spot.
So be it.
Anyway, he’s going back to the county, preparing to work on two plots of land over there.
Before, he had no connections. Even if he bit the bullet and got the land, without a guarantor, the bank wouldn’t lend much money, and he’d be stuck with the land?
Besides, the money he had wasn’t enough to buy land, he’d have to borrow from others, and the interest on borrowed money was higher than the bank’s.
But now, he’s got connections. Xian Er has contacted him, and Li Yang told him the county has great potential, and coincidentally, a good piece of land is up for bidding at the end of August, so he started transferring his work on this construction site a month ago.
There are plenty of people willing to take over.
After all, the most challenging foundation work has been done, and the main structure is almost complete, they can just wait for the roof to be finished.
In the past, when people called him the boss, it was just talk; essentially, he was still a foreman.
But now, it’s different. He’s truly going to be the big boss!
With soone backing him, he isn’t afraid of getting land and failing to borrow money.
As long as the first project gets off the ground, he can borrow money for subsequent land purchases.
Success ans becoming a billionaire!
As for failure? He started fighting when he was a teenager; over the years, he’s never lacked the spirit of adventure.
He doesn’t need to consider failure!
Any failure can’t be worse than when he first entered society at fourteen; he slept under a bridge for half a year.
Li Yang’s golden na is really useful. County Er told him that Li Yang made various commitnts at the eting, promising to return and build their hotown. He hinted that his brother taught him...
This also laid the foundation for Li Yijun’s ability to communicate with County Er.
Even if Li Yang doesn’t return, proving this could count as successful education promotion.
The next day, Li Yijun rarely settled all the money in advance. Those willing to leave could go imdiately, rest at ho for a month or two, and then have work to do.
He also clarified for those unwilling to go, that any troubles afterward would have nothing to do with him.
There are plenty of troubles on any construction site; he doesn’t want to create more chaos after leaving.
Anyway, a new foreman can always fill the gap.
On the third day, he packed up and left directly.
Of course, he couldn’t leave his sister-in-law behind.
On the way back, the young woman asked, "Yijun, where will I stay when I go back? Don’t you have a house in Qingshui Bay? I’ll stay there."
Li Yijun said, "Is that place okay? Yangyang’s family lives there, your sister will definitely go there often in the future."
"Then where do I stay?"
"I also have a house in Blue Sky Garden. Why don’t you stay there first? Once Shihe Mansion is built, I’ll get you a large flat."
"What about the money?"
"Am I short of money for you? I’m going back this ti to raise funds. You use your own money first, and I’ll reimburse you double later."
...
Li Likun and Wang Cuiping are planning to return to their hotown.
After all, Li Yang’s graduation banquet is different from the previous scholar banquet.
Last ti, it was just relatives. This ti, not only neighbors will co, but perhaps everyone in town will show up.
Arranging things half a month in advance is quite normal.
Not to ntion the need to attend Jiang Banxia’s graduation banquet halfway; the old couple really can’t stay in the city anymore. If their own graduation banquet isn’t done well, they’ll feel uncomfortable for a lifeti.
If it’s a wedding, they can be casual, but to do it well, they could always have another one.
Graduation banquets are different; Li Yang is their only child.
"Ningning, your dad and I plan to go back to our hotown. Would you and Yangyang want to co back with us?"
Xue Ning decisively replied, "I can’t really go; sotis I need to attend etings at school, especially this year. I’m teaching the senior year, they’re about to start school."
Wang Cuiping then turned to Li Yang, "Yangyang, how about coming back with us?"
Mostly because Wang Cuiping knows Xue Ning’s cooking ability...
She’s worried her son will suffer here.
Li Yang was about to speak when he felt Xue Ning’s foot under the table kick him lightly.
"Mom, I need to pass the third subject, just in the next couple of days. After that, there’s the fourth subject. Let finish, and then I’ll co back. If I don’t get my driving license before school starts, I’ll have no ti later."
Xue Ning’s foot beca gentle.
Reasonable and justified.
Wang Cuiping said, "Alright, you two rember to eat out. Don’t cook yourselves, okay?"
Xue Ning lowered her head.
This was the biggest disapproval for her.
But it was also true.
"Ningning, you’re the older one, take care of Yangyang for us. If this kid doesn’t co ho at night, call us directly."
