She found it difficult to bring this up.
"It’s my fortune."
Yin Shixiu said casually, then looked at Qian Guoliang, "Speaking of the road construction in Su Family Village, it’s truly thanks to Uncle Qian’s help. On behalf of the Su Family, thank you."
"Indeed, Su Family Village is a bit backward. In such a situation, it should have been reported sooner."
Qian Guoliang said, "But it will be fine in the future. Once the governnt allocates the funds, the villagers in Su Family Village should be overjoyed."
"What funds?"
Yin Shixiu asked casually.
Although the plan hadn’t been implented yet, there was basically no room for error, so Qian Guoliang told Yin Shixiu.
The governnt is allocating funds to assist a large state-owned enterprise in establishing a crop research base, with the land located in Su Family Village.
This ans Su Family Village is about to be redeveloped, and besides distributing houses by household, the original farmland in Su Family Village will be purchased at a high price.
Upon hearing this, Yin Shixiu finally understood why Su Jianyi and his wife were so desperate to reclaim the land ownership.
Turns out this was the plan they had in mind.
"This matter hasn’t been implented yet, so don’t leak it for now."
"Don’t worry, Uncle Qian." Yin Shixiu said, then pursed his lips and continued, "Actually, Uncle Qian, I already know about this."
"Huh? How did you know?"
Qian Guoliang was extrely surprised.
The matter of Su Jian Village’s redevelopnt was not yet released by the governnt because if it didn’t succeed, it would be the governnt’s loss of face.
How did Yin Shixiu know?
Seeing Qian Guoliang’s surprised expression, he lightly explained, "Uncle Qian seems to have forgotten, Xiao ng’s uncle is Secretary Su."
"...Su Jianyi?"
"Yes, Su Jianyi ca to our ho yesterday to argue with my father-in-law and mother-in-law about this land issue..."
Yin Shixiu shrugged his shoulders and stopped speaking, but Qian Guoliang’s curiosity couldn’t be contained, so he asked a few more questions.
His responses were still concise but delivered perfectly, causing him to have more prejudices against the so-called Secretary Su...
"This Su Jianyi certainly knows how to play the ga in officialdom..."
"If I hadn’t chatted with you, Shixiu, I might not have realized how bad his temper could be."
"Uncle Qian, you have sharp eyes. You must have known what kind of person Su Jianyi is at a glance."
Qian Guoliang already admired Yin Shixiu, and now with Yin Shixiu praising him, he couldn’t help but smile broadly.
"Uncle Qian, to be honest, I dislike politics the most. Handling political affairs every day gives headaches... But I’m curious, do all governnt officials in City Hall have a lot of power?"
"Why do you say that?"
Qian Guoliang asked, puzzled.
"Otherwise, how could Xiao ng’s uncle say that whatever he wants the governnt to do, the governnt will do?"
Yin Shixiu looked puzzled.
Qian Guoliang paused, "Did he really say that?"
Yin Shixiu shrugged, "Didn’t he? That single sentence gave my father-in-law and mother-in-law quite a scare."
Qian Guoliang fell silent and after a while, glanced at Yin Shixiu... and smiled.
He pointed at him, "You know, Uncle Yin wasn’t wrong, you’re really cut out for politics; what are you doing in business?"
"Seems like Su Jianyi really ticked you off..."
Yin Shixiu picked up his tea, took a sip, and then leisurely said, "Uncle Qian, to be frank, Xiao ng and I returned to Chengdu as ordinary people. When an official threatens..."
"Shixiu, don’t worry, Uncle Qian will make sure justice is served for you."
Yin Shixiu remained calm as Su Xiaong and Mrs. Qian returned from the yard.
"What are you two gentlen talking about?"
Mrs. Qian, holding Shuangshuang, sat down and couldn’t help but complain to Yin Shixiu, "Your son is really not easy to get close to..."
Su Xiaong glanced at the slightly lancholy-looking Prince Huang in her arms and chuckled quietly.
Probably unsettled by the unfamiliar environnt, he seed a bit gloomy.
Yin Shixiu took Prince Huang from Su Xiaong’s arms, holding him under the armpits to stand him on his lap.
Prince Huang looked at Yin Shixiu with his big eyes and suddenly called out, "Pa!"
The sudden call, which had already filled the previously delighted Yin Shixiu with excitent, once again stirred his heart.
"Is he calling Daddy?" Mrs. Qian asked in surprise.
"...Probably."
Yin Shixiu said as Su Xiaong saw his pretended calmness and couldn’t help but find it amusing. This man sure knew how to be reserved, yet in front of Uncle Qian and Aunt Qian, he was pretending to be composed!
