"Don't worry, it's okay. I asked someone to inquire, and the knife didn't hit any vital points."
After hearing this answer from me, you finally feel a little more at ease.
Yes, I was nervous too, after all, it was my first time doing something like this.
But I really didn’t want to kill him with that knife. If I really wanted to kill him, I would have gone straight to his heart.
And, it won’t be a single blow.
After a few brief exchanges with Mr. Wen, we ended the call.
Today I plan to take Xiaoman for a walk around the ancient town, and I don’t want to do anything else.
After eating the rice noodles, I took Xiaoman around the ancient town.
Xiaoman wanted to play with anything fun she saw, and I went to play with her. Anyway, I just wanted to relax today.
At noon, An Lan made a video call and we happened to be eating.
I connected to the video call, and An Lan looked like she had just woken up. She looked so attractive even without makeup.
"Why are you up so early?" I asked after saying hello to her in the video.
"It's usually around this time. It should be noon over there. Have you eaten yet?"
"Here, I'm eating." I pointed the camera of my phone at the food on the table.
At the same time, Xiaoman also came to the camera and said happily: "Mom, we are eating potato rice. Do you know potato rice?"
"I don't know, what is that?"
An Lan knew because I had taken her to eat before, but she said she didn't know, probably because she didn't want Xiaoman to be disappointed.
Xiaoman really got excited: "Haha, you didn't know, right? Then let me tell you, potatoes and rice are boiled together, and there is meat in it, and the meat is salty and delicious."
"Really? Then when mom comes back, can you take her to eat?"
"Okay! By the way, Mom, there are a lot of fun things here, let me show you..."
Xiaoman picked up the phone and scanned the ancient town outside the window.
"How's it going? Mom, does it look good?"
"Well, it's so beautiful. Do you miss your mother?"
"Think about it, mom, when will you come back?"
"My mother will be back soon after my brother is well."
"okay."
"You have to listen to dad, you know? Dad is usually busy with work, so you have to be sensible."
"Yeah, I'm obedient."
"Okay, give your phone to dad, and mom and dad will have a word."
Xiaoman then handed me the phone and continued eating.
I looked at An Lan in the picture. She was already putting on makeup. She just put her phone aside and talked to us while putting on makeup.
"It seems that you are getting along quite happily." An Lan said.
"That's necessary!"
An Lan smiled again and asked me: "Then when do you plan to find a kindergarten for Xiaoman?"
"I'll go take a look later. I plan to accompany her today."
"Aren't you very busy?"
"You have to find time to spend time with my girl even though you are busy!"
"No wonder this child likes you so much. Don't spoil her. If she makes a mistake, she will be scolded when she deserves it and beaten when she deserves it."
"I know, don't worry, she is quite sensible."
"Well, let's do that. You guys eat first, and I'm going out too."
"Okay, you have to eat on time yourself."
With that said, I asked Xiaoman to say goodbye to her mother.
After ending the video call with An Lan, before he could put down his phone, the ringtone rang.
This time it was Mr. Wen who called.
"Hey, Xiao Chen, aren't you busy now? I want to tell you something."
"You're not busy, Mr. Wen, please tell me."
"Qin Guoxing has been sentenced."
There was no disturbance in my heart at all, and I asked calmly: "What is the result?"
"The death penalty is just a two-year reprieve."
"Oh, it's okay. The death penalty is fine. A two-year reprieve is just torture for him."
Mr. Wen sighed heavily, "I didn't expect that the big tiger that has been entrenched in Anxi County for so many years has finally fallen. However, there are quite a lot of people involved. This matter is too big."
I smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, there is a saying that justice will eventually defeat darkness, and light will always come."
"Well, from now on, just feel free to build your resort town. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly."
"Okay, the progress is going very smoothly now, and construction is expected to start this month."
"That's right, but you and Qiqi should also be more careful about your affairs. You are a boy, so take the initiative."
I was really embarrassed. I wanted to tell him the truth several times, but I remembered An Siqi's commission and held back.
I responded and ended the call.
I put down the phone and turned to look out the window.
The weather, which had been gloomy all morning, seemed to have suddenly cleared up.
The air quality here is very good. Once it's sunny, the ancient town will take on a different look, very beautiful.
Come to think of it, I've been here for so long, and I really haven't had a good feel for this century-old town.
I didn’t think about Qin Guoxing anymore.
I want to forget this person, including this entanglement with him.
What I have to do from now on is to build a good resort town and strive to earn 500 million euros in six months.
I know it is difficult, but no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will fight hard for the woman I love and for our family to be reunited again.
…
In the days that followed, I focused entirely on my work, doing almost every aspect myself.
From the demolition of Tangjiawan, to the planning and design of resort towns, and the management of various relationships.
Every day is quite fulfilling, and it seems that I have suddenly returned to the passionate energy I had when I first started my business.
The company has grown day by day, from about twenty people at the beginning to almost one hundred people now.
Wang Yi is indeed a very capable person. She is not only responsible for all financial issues of the company, but also assists me in completing many tasks.
Including Xiaomi, she quickly integrated in. Some of her ideas coincided with mine, and her work efficiency was very high.
Half a month later, our resort town finally started construction.
What I estimate is that the first phase of the project will be completed within three months and officially put into operation three months later.
These three months are the most critical period, and there are many things to do.
We should not only focus on the construction of the town, but also spend time on publicity.
Fortunately, there is support from the local cultural and tourism bureau, and some publicity can be carried out through government departments.
To this end, I also set up an official Douyin account belonging to our resort town, and even found a person to be responsible for the operation of the account.
Starting from multiple routes, I think the number of passengers on the opening day directly exceeded 100,000.
This is also what I boasted about Haikou in front of many leaders in the conference room of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism. There is a reason for saying this. I need them to build the road as soon as possible and arrange a dedicated tourist line as soon as possible.
I'm just in a hurry now because I only have half a year.
