Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 615

Chapter 615: Chapter 615: Mockery

He Shichang felt a bit of regret.

In the past two years, Qin Family Village had nearly driven the entire economy of Ancheng County, and anything related to Qin Family Village, he had always supported vigorously.

But this time, it was foreign investment, so he abandoned Wang Cheng and thought that no matter what, Wang Cheng belonged to Lin Chuxia, who was partially part of Qin Family Village, so ultimately, Qin Family Village would back him up.

At most, if Wang Cheng needed land, the county could approve some land for him in the territory of Qin Family Village.

Even if it bent the rules a little, that would be fine.

Who knew Wang Cheng couldn’t secure the vegetable station, and there were no further moves.

Meanwhile, the foreign-invested company that did secure the vegetable station seemed to have vanished.

"Old Bai, are you calling me today because you have some news? If you have any news, you can’t keep it from your old buddy."

"I do have some news for you," Bai Qifeng said lightly. "Lin Chuxia, also known as Mr. Lin of Xiyang, came to me some time ago for land, wanting to build a Sino-foreign joint garment factory. I’ve already helped her apply for the land. It shouldn’t be long before construction starts. Once the factory is built, our city will have a Sino-foreign joint venture. But if you’re quick, maybe your Ancheng County will be the first in our city to have such a joint venture. Old He, I’m looking forward to you proving me right."

"Lin Chuxia wants to build a garment factory in the city? Why would she want to set it up in the city? An City is her home, how could she..."

He Shichang abruptly paused, "Are you saying the land she asked you for recently?"

"Yes, I heard she wanted to build in An City but faced setbacks, so she came back to find me. Alas, this is why you still need to rely on us old acquaintances. It’s just a matter of a word. Old He, I’ve told you before, back when I left, that if you supported Lin Chuxia well, you wouldn’t have to worry about your performance while in office. Why did it still..."

Bai Qifeng’s words weren’t intended to mock him.

In his current position, it didn’t make much difference whether Lin Chuxia’s garment factory was built in Yan City or An City.

The ones most affected would be the top officials of An City and Yan City.

He Shichang was utterly stunned by what he heard, to the point he didn’t even remember hanging up the phone.

After hanging up, he took a while to gather himself before calling in the staff member. "Have you found out what project Walson Company is undertaking after buying the An City Vegetable Station? If necessary, you can contact their person in charge and inform them that whatever investment they make, our county government will provide full support."

The staff member was also in a difficult position, as the county leaders had asked several times, and he had been keeping an eye on it.

But just keeping an eye on it doesn’t guarantee results.

.....................

Lin Chuxia had no idea what effect her choices had on these leaders.

Finally, there was news from Sun Bingnan.

He had gone to Yan City personally for this matter to speak with Lin Chuxia face to face.

"I went to the address you provided, and it was similar to what Mr. Lin had mentioned earlier. Almost twenty years ago, that village became nearly vacant. The families left there weren’t among the original ones, and for the whereabouts of the original families, I’ve tried asking around, but eventually, all leads went cold."

Essentially, no useful information was gathered.

This wasn’t unexpected for Lin Chuxia.

Firstly, it had been too long ago. Secondly, back then, communication wasn’t developed. Once people moved away, many lost contact entirely. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Thank you, Third Brother. I understand. I appreciate you going out of your way."

"Oh, don’t thank me. I couldn’t find anything useful and feared you’d be disappointed."

He truly didn’t want her to work so hard anymore.

Lin Chuxia kissed Qin Yang on the cheek, "Thank you, hubby. I know."

Her casual response told Qin Yang she hadn’t taken his words to heart.

But he understood her character, so he reached out to gently touch her belly, "Tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up."

"Okay, sure."

"Also, you can delegate the garment factory tasks to others. Some things aren’t an absolute necessity," he said, sitting across from Lin Chuxia and locking eyes with her, "Xiaxia, your hard work really makes me feel inadequate."

In the past, he would think that if he worked a little harder and advanced a bit more, his wife might find things easier.

Now that he had reached the Deputy Minister position, he realized his wife seemed busier than ever.

Even with her big belly, she was worried about so many things.

Looking into those deep dark eyes, Lin Chuxia saw the emotions churning and felt a sudden flutter in her heart.

She gently cradled his face with her hands and spoke earnestly, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll have Wang Tianxue and my brother-in-law handle the garment factory matters. They both have experience in that field, and also..."

Her tone shifted, eyes lit with a smile, and she suddenly leaned in to kiss him hard, "And besides, my man is amazing. How could he feel inadequate? Isn’t that right, Minister Qin?"

Qin Yang pulled her into his embrace and kissed her back, "No matter how amazing I am, I’m not as great as Mr. Lin."

Lin Chuxia’s belly was very large, so Qin Yang didn’t dare use too much force. When he embraced her fully, there was still a round belly between them, as if he was holding the whole world in his arms.
