Chapter 393

Pei JianGuo, even as muddled as he was, could still clearly distinguish the relative importance of things. Without work, unless he wanted to go drink the northwest wind, he had no choice.

But Liu Chunhua didn't know, or wouldn't bother to care about such things. She only wholeheartedly wanted a child of her own.

In her heart, without a child to hold them together, her relationship with Pei JianGuo would always be unstable. What if when she grew old and lost her looks, or if later on when he was old his son drove her away? She was afraid she would only be able to tragically die on the streets.

Even if life was hard and poor, she had to have her own child.

After much reassuring, Liu Chunhua finally gradually stopped crying.

Pei JianGuo didn't look the slightest bit upset, but rather felt somewhat relieved.

She had already said she didn't plan on having any more children. And since it was his fault she miscarried, and now he wouldn't let her have a child, he always felt a little guilty deep down.

But she couldn't get pregnant. He still felt guilty, but also felt a sense of relief.

Don't blame him for being so selfish. He would treat her well in the future. He would treat her well for a lifetime.

Holding the doctor‘s diagnosis that had been prescribed to Liu Chunhua, Pei JianGuo didn't even notice she had gone to an unknown small clinic. Furthermore, what was written was that the chances of getting pregnant were low, not that she absolutely could not get pregnant.

This was also a contingency plan Liu Chunhua had long thought of. That way, even if she did get pregnant later, when Pei JianGuo went to the doctor, her path would not be completely cut off.

In the next few days, Pei JianGuo was even better to Liu Chunhua, and even started learning to do some housework, and was also more generous with money, just to make up for his faults against her. Liu Chunhua also breathed a sigh of relief. These past few days, except for when he was working, he had been home the whole time. He probably hadn't gone to take contraceptives.

Pei Jing spent a few more days at home accompanying Zhi Xia, and she also tried her best to adjust her state of mind. Although the days together were extremely blissful, she couldn’t keep him at home accompanying her forever.

Since Grandma had moved to An JingZhi’s place, Zhi Xia also went over there more diligently.

Ever since Grandpa passed away, Grandma’s health had deteriorated. Zhi Xia was really afraid that one day she would be gone too, so she could only take advantage of the time she had to accompany her more, so as not to leave behind regrets.

This year Hongfeng Appliances launched two new products, a hair dryer and a TV. Zhi Xia provided the technology for the R&D department to study. And the two foreigners in the R&D department were also very capable. Under monetary incentives, although they were still arrogant people, they also did their best.

And the two people who had been arranged to secretly study were also learning quickly. She believed they would be able to graduate before too long.

With Jiang Tao stationed there, Zhi Xia didn’t need to spend too much effort.

The only thing troubling now was Hu Zhou’s side.

After returning from Shen City, although he had Miss Yans dividends, even if he did nothing for a lifetime there was enough to squander, as a grown man being idle always made him feel uncomfortable.

Zhi Xia could also see that during the few times he had come to find her recently, he was trying to think of something to do, but the few ideas he came up with, Zhi Xia felt were not very reliable.

And at this time, Jincheng Daily reported a shocking big event.

The Hong Kong businessman who had won the bid for the real estate tender ran away because the first batch of commercial housing could not be sold out. This made things difficult for the government side.

The policies handed down by higher authorities were not completed. And because the real estate developer that won the bid did not cooperate, resulting in the change from a shopping mall to commercial housing, and now the person had also run away with the houses left unsold, leaving such a mess behind, just thinking about it made one’s scalp tingle.

For a time, everything was thrown into chaos.

After a brief integration, the government decided to open up bidding again.

But with the previous failure as an example, and the commercial housing from the first phase having already been completed, and it not being possible to demolish and rebuild, after all the losses would be too great, there were not many candidates participating in the bidding this time. Even the people the government side had contacted were politely refusing left and right. They simply didn’t want to get involved. Emerging industries were like this. Once there was a successful example to follow, others would soon emulate it. Just like appliance factories, there were already quite a few people following suit. But the difference was that they took the path Zhi Xia had originally laid out, importing parts from abroad for assembly. This not only increased costs, but also held their lifeline in someone else’s hands.

The difficulty with the real estate industry was that the commercial housing from the first phase had already been built. To take over now, they would have to take over those unsold houses as well.

Zhi Xia called Hu Zhou over to discuss views on this matter.

And Hu Zhou was no longer meeting Zhi Xia for the first time. For her proposal, he agreed without even thinking about it.

He had raised doubts about her ideas before, but clearly, every time he had been brutally slapped in the face, and she had told him with results just how correct Zhi Xia’s decisions were.

He was currently in a state of confusion. Impatient to begin with, now with someone pointing the way, whether the path led anywhere or not, he definitely wanted to give it a try.

Pei JianGuo, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time in the Construction Bureau, was called into the director's office.

He sat uneasily across from the director, and heard the other party say, "Comrade Pei, I assume you've heard about the construction of the city center land?"

"I've heard," Pei JianGuo said rather apprehensively, mainly because he didn't know what this matter had to do with him.

But he knew in his heart that the director would not call him in for no reason to talk about these things.

"You’ve been with our bureau for some time now. I’ll get straight to the point..."

When he came out of the director's office, Pei JianGuo's face was ash-colored.

For others, this might be a very good opportunity to render meritorious service, but he knew better than anyone what the situation was between him and An ZhiXia.

He didn’t necessarily mind lowering his head to look for her help, the key was that he wasn’t sure if she would give him the time of day.

It wasn’t as if there was any deep hatred between them, just some trivial matters, as well as the issue with Gao Qingcheng.

He suspected that fate was deliberately messing with him. He had been working very hard to live properly, so how could he escape An ZhiXia’s clutches?

His head was full of thoughts, but he couldn’t overcome the coercion of reality.

He could only hope that An ZhiXia would be magnanimous, and see that the matter was long past, and that she had already pressed him down. At the very least, to give him a little face and not make things too ugly.
