Rebirth: 1977

When the nanny saw Xia Yingying leave on her own, she swallowed the words on her lips. She had tried her best and she could report to the madam.

What surprised her was how Miss Yingying had become even more unreasonable and irritable than before.

As for the talk of firing her, it's just hearsay. A nanny like that in the home of a leader will not be easily replaced unless she has made any mistakes.

She was not afraid that the young lady would be able to take charge of the matter.

Hearing the phone still ringing, she hurried over to answer it:

"Hello, this is Xia Mansion."

She said respectfully.

Anyone who could make this call is either a member of the Xia family or a wealthy or powerful relative or friend of the Xia family.

"Hello, is this Miss Xia Yingying's home?" A man's polite and respectful voice came out.

It was an unfamiliar voice, and the outsider had a heavy accent. Aunt Sun was puzzled and looked at the young lady who was crossing the yard. From her back, it could be seen that she was angry at the moment.

There was a loud bang of a door closing, and outside, it was the sound of Xia Yingying instructing the driver to drive.

The nanny responded politely:

"Yes, may I ask who you are? Is there anything you need from my young lady? She just went out for something."

Hou Yong on the other end of the phone understood what was going on. The person who answered the phone was the nanny of Leader Xia's family. He hurriedly said:

"Help me stop Miss Xia and ask her to answer my call. Thank you."

The gate that Aunt Sun reached through the cobblestone path in the yard was tightly closed.

"I'm sorry, our lady has already gone out. She left in a car and there is no way to catch up with her.

I don't know who you are? When our lady gets home, I will tell her and ask her to call you back."

The babysitter replied respectfully.

Before Xia Yingying returned to Beijing, she wanted to stay at home for a while, but she had made a bold statement that she would get a 100 million yuan project this year, and she also ambitiously wanted to earn 3 million yuan in business commission as soon as possible.

Of course, both she and Hou Yong were worried that she would miss the opportunity while in Beijing, so she left her home landline number with Hou Yong before returning to Beijing.

Now, there is a 50 million engineering project, and Hou Yong has already taken care of everything that needs to be taken care of. As long as Xia Yingying invites the project manager of the Urban Construction Bureau to have a meal, and the client sits down for a cup of tea, the project can be easily won.

Who knew that when the call came, Xia Yingying had already gone out, and it was useless for Hou Yong to be anxious at this time.

No matter how anxious Hou Yong was, it was of no use. Fortunately, he still had ten days to prepare.

Apart from the five days Xia Yingying was delayed on the road, Hou Yong still had five days to contact Xia Yingying.

Xia Minglei did not receive any call from his daughter, and until the two-day exchange meeting ended, he did not receive any call from his family. Thinking that his daughter would have been on the train by then, she did not contact her family again.

After seeing Yuan Shikang off, he started to get busy with his work. He saw Xia Zijian several times in the city government compound, and he always spoke to him calmly.

But he did not mention Xia Yingying. Before his daughter came back, everything he said was empty.

I can only lower my posture and appease this son-in-law.

Ye Yiling told her son that Xia Minglei came to apologize and send a red envelope. Everyone knew that those reasons were too far-fetched and were just a delaying tactic used by Xia Minglei.

He probably just wanted to reconcile the young couple.

It's not surprising to see that he has changed his attitude towards me now. At this point, I can only wait and see.

He just wanted to see when Xia Yingying would return to Pengcheng.

What means will Xia Minglei use to make her go home then?

If Xia Yingying really returns home, can they return to the starting point? Xia Zijian has given up hope.

Before returning to Jinling after the exchange meeting, Yuan Shikang came to say goodbye to Ye Tianshui.

Ye Tianshui took out the draft project application and said sincerely:

"Uncle Yuan, please take a look at this application first. Is there anything else that needs to be revised?

I don't have that much time to go through the process again and again. If you find any omissions, we can discuss and modify them.

Once you approve it, we will go back and go through the formal procedures. After the provincial government signs and stamps its seal on this project application and formally approves the project, please report to me the land price that Yuan Cheng and Kokang are optimistic about, and I will transfer the money immediately.

I have sent people to handle all the formalities, and I hope the provincial and municipal governments will fully cooperate.

This project is quite large and involves a wide range of areas, so please, Uncle Yuan, personally coordinate it.”

Yuan Shikang didn't expect Ye Tianshui to be so efficient. He planned to do all the preparatory work, which would take at least several months.

It would be great if the project could be successfully launched in October.

"Xiao Shui, have you finished writing the application?" He was surprised and happy, and hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully.

With information like this, no one would be careless, no matter how good the relationship is.

The project investment application was only two sheets of paper, but Yuan Shikang read it over and over again three times before he let out a sigh of relief and put it down:

"Xiaoshui, you've given a very comprehensive account, and I can't offer any suggestions.

That’s it. This project involves many important technologies that are lacking in our country, and the higher-ups will also attach great importance to it.

The provincial government can only do the work of transmitting information up and down. After I get it back, I must report to the higher authorities and then convene an enlarged meeting of the provincial government.

In your application, you said that the investment amount for this project would be 500 million marks, mainly used to purchase imported production lines.

For such a large investment, our government must give you the green light and provide full support.

So, for the land you want, I can make a promise to you on behalf of the provincial and local governments and give it to you in the form of allocation to reduce your investment pressure.

In addition, the bank will also open up channels for interest-free loans to you.

To be honest, Xiaoshui, the successful approval of this project has solved a major technical problem for the country.

It has also created tens of thousands of jobs in our province and city.

It benefits the country and the people!"

Yuan Shikang was an expert in industry, having risen through the ranks from the county industrial bureau to his current position as provincial governor. He was able to see beyond the surface of things and see the deeper and more far-reaching future and the huge benefits that would come from it.

"Xiaoshui, you have made a great contribution to the country. I must report this to the higher-ups. You have made an invaluable contribution to the introduction of this technology into the country!"

When Yuan Shikang listened to Ye Tianshui talking about this project, he was excited, but he was not as shocked as when he saw the words on paper.

"Uncle Yuan, I don't want to take advantage of the public when investing in any project.

The land price is still calculated based on the local market price. I bought it, applied for the land certificate and the property certificate for the factory built on the land.

The procedures are clear, and the rights, responsibilities and benefits are also clear.

Because it is a joint-stock enterprise, the equity must be clear and the public and private sectors must be clearly distinguished from the beginning.

In the future, problems and conflicts will not easily arise between enterprises and the government.

As for bank loans, I will not reject your kindness now. If necessary, I will process it according to government policy.

You can also enjoy other preferential policies equally. I don’t want to cause you unnecessary trouble.”
