Chapter 230 Housing Prices Doubled
Upon hearing that Zhang Wenyu was going to Shenzhen, Deng Xiuzhen panicked: Was he going to return to the old ways of her past life? Was the karmic entanglement between Wenjing and Zhang Wenyu impossible to untie?
No! Things have to change! We have to find a way to block the two of them from getting together!
After thinking for a moment, Deng Xiuzhen guessed that this family wouldn't stay in the hospital for long and would probably leave soon. She needed to get some information before they left, such as what Zhang Wenyu was doing in Shenzhen and where his company was located.
After some following and eavesdropping, she actually overheard the gist of it: the company Zhang Wenyu was going to work for was called Zhenxing Technology Co., Ltd., and it seemed he was going to be a manager or something; she vaguely heard a recruitment notice...
recruitment?
Deng Xiuzhen's heart skipped a beat.
In her previous life, Wenjing met Zhang Wenyu when she was applying for a job. At the time, Zhang Wenyu was an assistant manager at the company.
After Wenjing got the job, she excitedly called Deng Xiuzhen to tell her that she had found a job and met an excellent young man. He was a very nice person, warm and helpful, and also young and promising. He had already entered the leadership position at a young age, and he was also good-looking...
Deng Xiuzhen was happy at that time. What parent doesn't want their children to have a good life?
What does it mean to live well? It means finding a good job and a good partner.
Deng Xiuzhen looked up at Zhang Wenyu: If we disregard his character, Zhang Wenyu is indeed quite good-looking. He's not particularly handsome, but he's tall, clean-cut, and has a refined demeanor. Moreover, he excels at his job and seems to have a bright future ahead of him.
Zhang Wenyu's family had been at the station for quite some time, but Deng Xiuzhen was still in a daze.
It wasn't until Qin Yanlin pulled her that she snapped out of her thoughts: "What?"
“I’m hungry…” Qin Yanlin looked at her with a pitiful expression.
Deng Xiuzhen sighed and took Qin Yanlin to buy something to eat.
Back at the hotel after dinner, Deng Xiuzhen was still lost in thought: Wenjing was graduating soon and would need to find a job quickly, and her major was perfect for a tech company. What if Wenjing applied to Zhenxing Technology Company? What if the company recruited from the school?
No! We absolutely cannot let them get together!
They had no connection in their past lives, yet their lives turned out so badly. Now, they're arguing on a train, Mao Dongzhu getting hit by a car, and Mao Dongzhu pretending to be poor—if they were to get together, wouldn't there be a complete uproar?
I need to call Wenjing and tell her not to apply to Zhenxing Technology Company, and to avoid anyone named Zhang Wenyu if she runs into him.
Taking out her phone, Deng Xiuzhen hesitated: to prevent Wenjing from going to the company and avoiding Zhang Wenyu, she had to give a clear explanation, otherwise Wenjing wouldn't take it to heart.
They might also be driven by their innate curiosity to actively seek out the reason, only to find themselves delivered to Zhang Wenyu's doorstep and deceived by his outward appearance.
If Wenjing were to recount what happened along the way, given her straightforward, stubborn, and enthusiastic personality, she might remind her classmates and acquaintances, which could very well lead to some trouble...
How can we solve this problem completely?
Deng Xiuzhen racked her brains.
Finally, I came up with a plan: I called Zhang Liuying and asked her to inquire about Zhenxing Technology Company for me, and also to keep an eye on Qin Wenjing and make sure she didn't get together with Zhang Wenyu from Zhenxing Technology Company!
As for the reason, Deng Xiuzhen recounted in detail what had happened between her and Zhang Wenyu's mother, Mao Dongzhu, without reservation.
Zhang Liuying felt the matter was a bit tricky, but she still agreed and promised to do it.
Deng Xiuzhen had confidence in Zhang Liuying's competence and credibility. With Zhang Liuying's assurance, Deng Xiuzhen returned to Pucheng with peace of mind.
Of course, another important reason is that Deng Xiuzhen felt she had done everything she could. If she still couldn't stop it, then it meant that she couldn't stop it. So, all she could do was make sure she wouldn't be a fool and get involved in their affairs.
As soon as they exited the station, Fang Mei and Qi Guomin ran over, clearly having been waiting for a while.
"Come on, let's have a simple meal at my house first, and then we'll take you home. The house is all cleaned up, and the quilts are brand new, washed and sun-dried." Fang Mei warmly took Deng Xiuzhen's hand.
Qi Guomin took the items from their hands and led Deng Xiuzhen and the others to his private car.
"Wow, life's getting better and better, you've even bought a BMW," Deng Xiuzhen joked.
"It's all thanks to you." Seeing Deng Xiuzhen's joke, Fang Mei's laughter was more genuine than before. After hearing Deng Xiuzhen recount what had happened, and actually seeing Qin Yanlin's demented state, she was worried.
In those days, the New Year's dinner table was lavish, with only a few dishes like chicken, duck, fish, and meat. But Fang Mei's family's banquet for guests included everything from birds in the sky to animals on the ground to fish in the water. The scale of the banquet was almost like that of entertaining a top leader.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Deng Xiuzhen was so moved that she almost burst into tears: all she had done was settle the material payment that Qin Yanlin owed her in a timely manner, how could she be so kind to them?
Looking back at the culprit who withheld the payment for materials, he was now staring at her with gleam in his eyes, waiting for her to say that she could eat it.
"Eat," Deng Xiuzhen said calmly.
As soon as Deng Xiuzhen finished speaking, Qin Yanlin, as if he hadn't eaten for days, wolfed down his food impatiently.
"Did something happen on the road?" Fang Mei asked Deng Xiuzhen, looking at Qin Yanlin with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing serious. He's just like this now, like a little kid. Luckily, he's obedient and doesn't cause trouble." Deng Xiuzhen recounted what happened on her way back while eating.
"Where are the uncle, aunt, and child?" Deng Xiuzhen asked, not seeing the two elderly people.
“Mom and Dad went on a trip, and the child isn’t coming home from school.” Fang Mei paused and asked, “Is he coming back to stay permanently, or what are he planning to do?”
"I mainly want to go home to see him, and also see if I can help him recover at home. I don't have any other plans for now." Deng Xiuzhen suddenly remembered something and asked, "What's the housing market like in Pucheng lately?"
"House prices? House prices have doubled. Because of the house prices, my business has expanded a lot. Sister Deng, thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, my company would have gone bankrupt and I wouldn't have been able to catch this good thing!" Qi Guomin, who had been silent until now, interjected gratefully when the topic of houses came up.
"House prices in Shenzhen have also risen sharply, and I've even heard that they'll skyrocket, though I don't know if it's true. But if it doesn't affect my business, investing my spare cash in real estate might make me money." Touched by Qi Guomin and Fang Mei's friendship, Deng Xiuzhen wanted to share some information with them. But she phrased it tactfully, not because she was worried about being held responsible if house prices didn't rise, but because she genuinely wasn't sure.
Following the trajectory of the previous life, housing prices will continue to rise and fall.
But the time when the stock price fell instead of rising made her realize that some things don't necessarily follow the trajectory of her past life, but can change due to various factors.
