"Xiaomei, you have to take care of your work. If you are not doing well, then we can retire early due to illness. You don't have to worry about the procedures for retirement due to illness. I will find someone to help you with it."

Du Shaojie didn't want to express his opinion at first, but when he heard that Xiaomei was starting to be excluded in the unit, he became a little unhappy.

My sister and brother-in-law don't need to work to support the family. The money in the family is enough for them to spend their entire lives. What's more, my brother-in-law owns several teahouses. He can earn at least one or two million a year.

Since you don't have to worry about money, why bother with that?

"Brother, I'm doing well, why should I retire due to illness? Forget it, let's not talk about it. I'll think about it again."

Xiaomei's stubbornness came back again, but she soon realized that she shouldn't have spoken to her brother like that, and she rounded up her words.

Du Shaojie didn't bother to argue with her. He nodded and stood up to say goodbye.

the next day.

He asked Zou Xiaohe to book a plane ticket, which was for three days later, so they could leave after some preparation in the next few days.

When the day came, Du Shaojie took Zou Xiaohe, Luo Qin and others and flew to Xijiang. When Xiaomei went to the airport to see them off, she still looked conflicted.

After returning to her hometown after a long absence, Wang Yuxiu looked radiant and in much better condition than when she was in Guangzhou.

Du Shaojie felt a little guilty, but his business focus was in the south, and he was worried about his mother living alone in Xijiang, so this matter was difficult to handle.

He has several houses in Xijiang. Although the living conditions are average, it is better than living in a hotel.

After taking a short rest that day, he accompanied Wang Yuxiu to visit her father's grave the next day. This was the most important thing in Wang Yuxiu's mind, and in fact, this matter played a big part in the reason why she insisted on coming back.

in the afternoon.

Wang Yuxiu said she wanted to go to Chunfeng Lane, so Du Shaojie accompanied her.

After the renovation, Chunfeng Lane no longer looks like its original appearance. The road has become wider, and the bungalows and small courtyards are no longer visible. Instead, there are rows of buildings.

His family also has a resettlement house here, but Du Shaojie was too lazy to rent it out, so he just left it there after renovating it. The local store is responsible for its maintenance and cleaning.

"Xiao Jie, this place is pretty good, how about we move in?"

Wang Yuxiu has feelings for this area. Although it has changed a lot after the demolition, she still wants to come back and live there.

Du Shaojie had no objection, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zou Xiaohe opened the door and asked, and was told that it was Wang Yuxiu's old neighbor.

Wang Yuxiu quickly let the person in. Fortunately, the house was fully furnished with appliances, otherwise there would be no place to sit. Du Shaojie stayed with him for a while. He had an impression of the person who came, but he had not had much contact with him before and was not familiar with him.

Wang Yuxiu was quite happy. As they chatted, the aunt explained her purpose.

"I just happened to see you guys coming back. Well, Sister Wang, my family has been having some difficulties recently."

The visitor changed the subject and asked to borrow money. Not only Du Shaojie, but even Wang Yuxiu was stunned.

She and the other party were just nodding acquaintances, and they hadn't seen each other for many years. Why did she ask for money right away? And she asked for 10 yuan right away, and she wasn't afraid that she couldn't pay it back?

"Mom, you guys chat, I'm going out for a walk, don't forget to have dinner tonight."

Du Shaojie smiled and was too lazy to expose the aunt's little thoughts. He knew that his mother would handle the matter.

Then he winked at Xu Youlian, and Xu Youlian understood and stayed.

Xu Youlian and Peng Yongjun have not left yet. They will wait until their successors arrive and have adapted for a period of time before leaving.

Du Shaojie and others went downstairs, and on the way they met old acquaintances who greeted them, and he responded to them one by one. Then he took a car to go out for a walk, and didn't go to [Xichuan Restaurant] until 7:.

They had dinner here in the evening, and Wang Yuxiu also came later.

"Mom, how did you get rid of her in the end?"

After sitting down, Du Shaojie asked Wang Yuxiu.

"Just send her off. I don't have any friendship with her. She didn't help us when our family was in trouble. What's so bad about refusing?"

Wang Yuxiu speaks quickly and speaks from her heart.

She was not stupid. She knew that the other person was obviously trying to take advantage of her, so she would definitely not lend him money. But she still felt a little uncomfortable. Time had passed, and some lost things could probably not be found again.

Wang Yuxiu never mentioned moving to Chunfeng Lane again, as if she had forgotten about it.

The next day.

Du Shaojie went to visit the school where he attended as a child. The school had changed in appearance, but it was still in the original location.

He donated 500 million yuan each to primary and secondary schools to improve teaching conditions.

The city insisted on holding a donation ceremony, and Du Shaojie couldn't refuse, so he asked Luo Qin to attend on his behalf, and he himself did not show up.

He doesn’t know any of the city leaders now. Lu Yimin has been transferred to another place a long time ago, and Liu Ying has retired. He is even more unwilling to be in the limelight.

After a few days, he simply took his mother to the mountains for a trip.

The conditions in the mountains have improved a bit. There are resorts, holiday villas and holiday hotels. You don't have to live in a tent and count the stars.

However, he seemed to have underestimated his popularity. As soon as he settled in the holiday villa, local leaders came to visit him. "Mr. Du, the county plans to focus on developing the tourism industry. We plan to build a national standard alpine ski resort, as well as a resort, outdoor tourist area, horse farm and other projects.

At present, the ski resort has signed a contract with Yihai International Company, which is willing to invest, and the project has already started. The other projects also have good prospects. Is Mr. Du interested in investing?"

The county leaders came to visit in order to solicit investment.

Du Shaojie was not averse to this matter. At that time, in order to develop the economy, they had to seek foreign aid. Otherwise, relying solely on their own financial resources, many things would only remain on paper.

Moreover, the county's tourism economy was developing well, and when he came here, at least half of the holiday villa was rented out.

"I'm here with my family this time. Let's go in a few days. I'll take some time to investigate, okay?"

Du Shaojie did not refuse. They were not big projects. If he liked one, he might invest.

It was just that he brought Wang Yuxiu out today to relax, and he didn't want to spoil the fun because of these things.

"Okay, okay, we welcome Mr. Du to come for inspection at any time."

The county leader was knowledgeable and tactful, and said something with a smile.

In order not to disturb Du Shaojie and his family's interest, the other party said that they would invite Du Shaojie to dinner in a few days.

As for the next itinerary, that was easy. The next day, people from the ranch came to Du Shaojie with horses and invited them to go play in the deep mountains for two days.

You can drive in the mountains, but it's not as comfortable as riding a horse.

Considering Wang Yuxiu's health, Du Shaojie asked the new driver to drive her, Luo Qin and Li Yimei to the alpine pasture, while he and Zou Xiaohe and others rode there on horseback.

It was quite enjoyable, but the thighs were a little painful.

However, the feeling of riding a horse is completely different from that of riding a car. The view is wider. Walking under the blue sky and white clouds, there are green grass and wild flowers everywhere, and the distant mountains are shaded by green trees. I feel very happy.

After walking for about two hours, we arrived at our destination.

In order to welcome the guests from afar, the ranch sent people to slaughter two sheep and prepare to treat everyone with ancient delicacies.

"Roasted Lamb?"

Du Shaojie became interested and walked aside to watch.

But he didn't intervene. It would be impolite to intervene at this moment, and he knew the rules.

"Boss Du, someone is coming from the village."

He was watching with great interest when Zou Xiaohe stepped forward and reminded him.

Du Shaojie turned his head and saw a group of people walking towards him.

When I got to the front and introduced them, I found that all the township leaders were here. Fortunately, they were just here to take a look, and they were mainly worried that the ranch’s reception work was not in place.

At noon, they had hand-pulled meat and hand-pulled rice. The township leaders and Du Shaojie drank a few glasses of wine and then said goodbye and left.

We had roasted whole lamb for dinner. The rich aroma whetted everyone’s appetite, and we went down the mountain after eating and drinking our fill.

During this season, it doesn’t get dark until around ten or eleven o’clock.

Du Shaojie had a car, and the village also specially reserved a van. The two cars returned to the holiday villa in just one hour.

The accommodation conditions on the mountain were too poor, and he came back to live here mainly because of his mother's health.

After two days of playing in the mountains, Wang Yuxiu wanted to visit some old friends, so she returned to the city first. Du Shaojie then went to inspect the local tourism projects accompanied by the county leaders.

"Leader Wu, the tourism resources here are quite good. Please introduce the horse farm project to me."

Du Shaojie followed the county leaders for a day and returned to the city in the evening, where everyone had dinner together.

He had some ideas about investment, and he chatted with Wu Yuqian while drinking. He was not interested in other projects, but only in the horse farm project.

“At the time, this project was an equestrian club project, but later many people suggested that the equestrian club was not suitable, so it was changed to a horse farm.

This project includes a horse racing venue, horse stables, and tourist villas. After completion, it can host horse racing performances, equestrian performances, equestrian teaching, etc. ”

Wu Yuqian said a lot, but Du Shaojie only remembered that the county would allocate a piece of land for the construction of a villa area.

This so-called tourist villa area is actually used as a safety net. In case the horse farm suffers losses, some of the losses can be recovered from the villa area project.

After listening to this, Du Shaojie nodded and thought this project was good.

In his opinion, the horse farm is used to "attract traffic", and the real money-making ones are the tourist villas and the restaurants in them.

Of course, if he invests in this project, it will basically be absorbed internally and it doesn’t matter whether it is profitable or not.

In the future, every summer, we can arrange for company executives and employees who have made outstanding contributions to come here for vacation. In addition, it can also be used to receive relatives and friends.

Not to mention Du Shaojie himself, after the project is completed, he will be a frequent visitor here.

“What kind of preferential terms can the county offer?”

Although he had already made up his mind, Du Shaojie still wanted to get more discounts. (End of this chapter)
