Chapter 68: Spider Silk and Horse Hoof Prints

  "The real estate project was launched, and it didn't actually require a lot of capital. After obtaining the land, we would take out a loan from the bank. Nowadays, contractors can get the project with their own funds in advance..."

  Jing Wen tightly hugged Xu Yi's arm, and the two strolled through the streets of Qixi County. As they walked, she detailed some operational procedures in the real estate industry and some rules that everyone followed.

  Xu gained a lot of insight, especially about the twists and turns in the industry that he had never seen before in books. It seems that just reading books is not enough; doing business well requires not only power and wealth but also a lot of practice.

  "Wenwen, you go back and have a good sleep. There's no need to rush into discussing cooperation with your family." Xu smiled, "I've got plenty of time. By the way, do you think it's necessary for us to set up our own construction company? That way, we can be more assured of the quality of the project?"

  "It's unnecessary, I think it's unnecessary."

  Jing Mingwen paused for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Xu Yi, "If you want to eat chicken, you don't have to raise a hen at home. If the construction quality is not up to standard, we will refuse to pay. Moreover, during the construction process, our company's quality supervision team will come to inspect the site from time to time."

  "And besides, the real estate industry can only last for a few decades at most, maybe 30 or 40 years, and then the company's business direction will definitely need to shift. A large company needs to have an overall plan for its future development."

  "Doing real estate is just a stepping stone for you to start your career, after all, it's not a high-end industry. Look at the big rich people abroad, which one of them achieved great success through real estate? At most, real estate only provided the first pot of gold."

  Xu Yi was stunned, these were indeed what he had thought in his heart, but he hadn't said them to Jing Xunwen. Now, on the contrary, the other party had brought them up to scold him. However, Xu Yi didn't get angry, instead, he felt that this trip to Jiangnan was really worthwhile.

  Moreover, it gives Jing Xun a sense of camaraderie from the bottom of his heart.

  Jing Wen didn't think so, however. Half a day had passed without Xī Yī saying a word to her, and she was taken aback. Only then did she recall her mother's repeated warnings: girls shouldn't appear too clever in front of boys, as men have a strong desire to conquer, and most of them keep intelligent women at arm's length.

  A truly intelligent woman will appropriately display her silly side in front of men.

  Thinking of this, Jing Xunwen's heart tightened, oh no, he had been too eager to show off just now, would he scare that little brat Xu Yi away?

  It's really true that "those who speak much will lose", the ancients were indeed not deceiving me. Fortunately, I still have a trick up my sleeve, which is to pretend to be stupid.

  "Honey, why aren't you talking? Is it because you think I'm too chatty?"

  Jing Wenmin gently shook Xuyi's arm, her voice becoming sweeter, and Xuyi chuckled and shook his head, "No, I think you're doing just fine."

  "It's true, Wenwen, I'm only now convinced that we have a common language between us. Maybe we can get along really well." Xu Yi patted Wenwen's arm, "Alright, go back and rest for now. I'll be going back to my hometown for a few days to take care of some things, and I'll come find you when I'm free."

  "You're really willing to accept me as your girlfriend."

  Jing Minwen almost couldn't believe her ears, she blankly raised her small head, blinked her eyes, and a flash of surprise flashed through her eyes. He, he, he actually acknowledged himself, which means she can compete with Mei Shufen?

  "No, if you're going back to your hometown tomorrow, I'll go too. I also want to take a look at the old mansion of your family's ancestral home." Jing Xunwen cleverly seized the opportunity, since there was such an opportunity, why not make the most of it?

  Opportunities always favor those who are prepared.

  "Alright, let's go together then, it just so happens I don't have a car."

  Xu gave a hearty laugh and pinched Jing Xianwen's buttocks hard, "Alright, go back and sleep early, we'll set off at dawn tomorrow."

  Jing Wen nodded obediently, hummed a sound from his nose, and suddenly took out the car key from his bag and put it in Xu Yi's palm. "Then you drive my car to send me home first, then you go back to the hotel, tomorrow morning come pick me up, we'll have breakfast together before leaving."

  "Get in, I'll drive you home."

  Xu Yi opened the car door and patted Jing Wen's butt, her buttocks were round and firm, it felt great to touch, and she quickly got used to this feeling.

  "Dirty old man, big dirty old man."

  Jing Wen tightly pursed her lips and gave Xu Yi a sideways glance, her charming eyes gleaming like silk.

  "A good car is just different."

  Xu Yi quickly started the car, and the Cayenne sped out rapidly. Jing Xun smiled sweetly, "Do you like it? If you do, I'll give it to you. Anyway, I was thinking of changing to a new car."

  "No need, I don't want to show off like this at home."

  Xu shook his head, the Xu family was well-known in the circle for being as clean as water. If he indulged in extravagance on this side of Jiangnan, it would be strange if Old Master Xu didn't break his legs when he returned to Beijing.

  "What's the big deal, go to Baisha City and take a stroll, the whole street is filled with high-end luxury sports cars, and then look at the identities of those car owners." Jing Xunwen hummed nonchalantly, "Besides, I gave you this car, what can others say?"

  "But I'm the eldest grandson of the Old Xu family, if Grandfather finds out that I accepted your car, he'll break my legs."

  Xu shook his head, suddenly remembering something, turned around and looked at Jing Wenwen, "Right, Wenwen, find a time to go back to your hometown and take a look. It must be that the feng shui of your ancestral tomb or old house has been tampered with, and it was done early on."

  "Husband, you still understand Feng Shui?"

  Jing Wen heard this and was stunned, only then remembering that San Shu had mentioned before that Xu Yi had a nickname in the capital city called "Xu Dao Chang". Apparently, he had told the fortune of Li Yuanqiang's wife, the deputy minister of public security, saying she would encounter a bloody disaster at 11 o'clock on a certain day. In the end, it really came true. At that time, she didn't believe San Shu's words, but now it seems this guy actually understands Feng Shui divination.

  Thinking of this, Jing Xunwen suddenly became excited, and his right hand flipped out in front of Xu Yi, "Husband, calculate it for me."

  "Wait a minute, I'm driving now, I'll enter the community and show you in a while, okay?"

  Xu smiled wryly, but he had already taken a look at Jing Yunwen's face when she was sleeping in the afternoon. Since they were preparing to cooperate with the Jing family, it was impossible not to understand Jing Yunwen's character.

  "Alright, you said it yourself."

  Jing Minwen nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. Since this guy had such a semi-divine ability, did he anticipate that he would encounter himself?

  However, she didn't ask this question out loud. Now that Xu Yi has a good impression of her, she doesn't want to scare him off. Good men are hard to find these days.

  "Alright, we're home now. Let's go and calculate our fortune, calculate our marriage destiny, and see when we'll get married."

  Jing Mingwen let out a long sigh and forcibly suppressed the curiosity in her heart for over ten minutes, feeling that she had already tried hard enough.

  "No need to calculate, your personality and fortune are all written on your face."

  Xu Yi stopped the car, turned on the interior light, and carefully looked at Jing Wenwen's face. "Wenwen, you're very much loved, but your father passed away when you were ten years old..."

  Jing Minwen's mouth was wide open in shock, what Xu Yishuo said was almost entirely accurate, it seemed like this guy knew everything about her as if he were an old friend, some things that even ordinary people wouldn't know, for example, she had been in a relationship once but broke up quickly, not even her best friends knew.

  He could tell from her face alone.

  "Wenwen, you will have a prosperous and glorious fate in the future, go back to sleep now."

  Xu patted Jing Wen's shoulder, "Tomorrow we still have to go to the countryside."

  Jing Wen followed Yu's words and got out of the car. Xu Yi waved at her and quickly turned the car around, driving away in a cloud of smoke. It wasn't until then that Jing Wen remembered Xu Yi hadn't said anything about her marriage.

  Xu Yi glanced at the rearview mirror, looking at Jing Yunwen standing tall against the wind, a wry smile spreading across his face. He didn't dare say that Jing Yunwen's future marriage was basically non-existent, even though she had a pair of twins. If he said this to her, it would be strange if she didn't blow up.

  Back at the Longquan Hotel, Xu practiced a routine of internal family boxing, and after completing a cycle of work, he hastily washed up and went to sleep.

  Guanyin Town, Longtou Village, Qixi County.

  "Xu Yi, what brings you back this time? I've already told the villagers that your family's ancestral tomb can't be moved, just keep it as it is now."

  Lao Zhi was slightly surprised by Xu Yi's arrival and poured a cup of hot tea for Xu Yi and Jing Xunwen.

  "Old Secretary, I came today to ask you something."

  Xu handed a cigarette to Lao Zhi Shu, "This time I'm working on a project with friends in Qixi County. You mentioned last time that someone who does business wanted to help our family repair the ancestral tomb. Although my grandfather was not very happy about it, after all, he had good intentions. I think this is an opportunity to thank him and also explore potential business cooperation. Do you think he's interested?"

  "My grandfather was busy with work before and didn't have time to take care of the folks back home, now that I have the opportunity to develop my career here in my hometown, I naturally can't forget about the folks back home."

  Xu smiled and said, "Old Secretary, when my project starts, you count the young people in the village who are willing to go to the construction site to work. They can earn some money."

  "Xu Yi, thank you on behalf of our fellow villagers."

  Lao Zhi was delighted to respond, "That businessman doesn't know where he's from, afraid it won't be easy to find him. On the other hand, I remember the name of that earth fairy."

  "A Dixian is a Feng Shui master who specializes in finding auspicious locations for people."

  Jing Mingwen saw Xu's puzzled expression and immediately explained, "Moreover, I heard that some unit leaders will even invite a high-ranking immortal to arrange the office."

  "Oh, I see, so it's a Feng Shui master."

  Xu smiled and nodded, "Old Secretary, is that immortal from a nearby village?"

  "It's not the local immortal of our town, everyone knows what those few local immortals are capable of." Old Branch Secretary shook his head, "I heard that the name of the immortal master is Wang Dong, he himself boasts to be a disciple of Yangming Mountain."

  "What is Yangmingshan?"

  Xu Yiyi was stunned and turned her head to take a look at Jing Wen.

  Jing Minwen's eyebrows furrowed. P.S., I ask all readers to click on it, and the doctor will thank you.
