I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 104 He Really Did It for Her

"Lu Ye, then I thank you for your kindness," Qiao Qingyu said fiercely. "I love farming, and the 3000 acres of wasteland are my plan. I don’t want you to use your power to interfere. Do you hear me? Also, you’ve been quite hateful with your out-of-context remarks, but I did kick you, so let’s call it even and not bring it up again. If you dare to speak like that in the future, Lu Xiaopang, it won’t be as simple as just a kick."

Lu Ye’s face gradually darkened.

"Qiao Qingyu, does He Xiuyu know about your contracting of the wasteland?" he asked.

"Of course he knows," she replied, "and he’s very supportive. By the way, I’ve also set up a Breeding Laboratory at the Tenghai Research Base. Now that you’ve been transferred to Yushu County, your diversified business company may have dealings with us in the future..."

Lu Ye’s expression fluctuated.

She had actually set up a Breeding Laboratory; she was really going to go all the way with farming.

But she mentioned they might have future business dealings.

He was somewhat pleased at the thought, but then the idea that He Xiuyu actually agreed to her contracting of the wasteland dampened his spirits again. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said with scorn, "He Xiuyu really is selfish. He doesn’t seem to care about his new wife at all. Is it because he doesn’t give you money to spend? No matter what, I’m your relative on your mother’s side. If he bullies you, I’ll never let him off."

"Lu Xiaopang, what is this nonsense you’re spouting? Did you not understand what I just said? This is something I want to do myself, I like it very much, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Okay, let’s now discuss the matter of your experimental field directly managed by the provincial city."

"...I was the one who reported it. The leader has already approved it. As for your side, we can negotiate a compensation..."

Qiao Qingyu’s anger flared up. She had talked to him for so long, and this bastard didn’t understand a thing.

"I don’t care how you do it, but I absolutely disagree. As for how you report to the leaders above, that’s your business."

"But everyone in the Commune agrees," Lu Ye said slyly. "Aren’t you going to offend them like this?"

"They are the ones who broke the spirit of the contract first, how am I the one offending them? Isn’t there any reason left in this world?" Qiao Qingyu’s face hardened and her tone was sharp.

At that moment, several people at the door exchanged awkward looks, slightly embarrassed. Qiao Qingyu’s words did make sense. They were going back on their word, but the opportunity was so great, hanging a connection with the provincial city was something beyond their wildest dreams.

They didn’t understand why Qiao Qingyu was so stubborn. Why wouldn’t she agree?

Seeing Qiao Qingyu’s serious face, Lu Ye was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had seen her so earnest, and he felt unaccustomed.

After a few moments, he averted his gaze and said, looking down, "Since you don’t agree, I will explain to the higher-ups."

He had gone to great lengths to secure this project, all for Qiao Qingyu. Yet not only had she shown no appreciation, but she also became so angry, and her expression was very serious, looking like she was ready to take him to court.

That was not his intention; everything he did was for her.

With that thought, he added, "I have my own plans for Xiaxi Commune, and I won’t make things difficult for you."

Qiao Qingyu was amused by his nerve, "Lu Xiaopang, the trouble was caused by you in the first place. How can you make it sound like you’re solving the problem for me? Can’t you be any less shameless?"

Lu Ye paused for a moment and then he laughed.

He couldn’t help it; although he was very angry, he still couldn’t get mad at Qiao Qingyu.

He also felt a sense of relief, "I didn’t think things through. I hope you’re not angry."

Qiao Qingyu waved her hand dismissively, "For the sake of Grandpa Lu, I won’t hold it against you."

Then she asked with concern, "I haven’t seen Grandpa Lu for a long time, how is he doing now?"

"He’s in good health," said Lu Ye. "He’s even planning to take time off to visit the Qiao Family Team by the end of the year."

"Grandpa Lu is a good person," Qiao Qingyu said with a meaningful tone. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Lu Ye’s gaze returned to Qiao Qingyu, his hands clenched tightly at his sides. He thought that four years was neither too long nor too short. He felt he had changed a lot, but this King Qiao seemed to remain the same.

No, there had been some changes; her temperament was different, her manner of speaking had changed as well.

Could it be because she had married a cultured man?

Lu Ye gathered the pile of stuff on the desk and said to Qiao Qingyu, "We are going to have a meeting. You should attend."

"I don’t think I should. The content of your meeting is surely unrelated to me," she replied.

"You might want to listen in. After all, you are now the first person in Yushu County to cooperate with the Commune in contracting land, and it’s wasteland at that. And these lands are now sprouting and growing vibrantly, so the county is sure to grant you some benefits."

Qiao Qingyu curled the corners of her mouth, "That’s more like it."

In the end, even if she gained strength from it, the ultimate beneficiaries would be everyone living on this land.

She naturally didn’t want to struggle alone like a fool.

Although Lu Ye was young, he did things methodically. After speaking with the provincial city’s leaders, he had arranged to convert 800 acres of thousand silk hemp in Xiaxi Commune into an experimental field directly managed by the provincial city.

Next, they would arrange to drill wells between these two wastelands.

The county’s Agricultural Machinery Bureau would also provide some agricultural machinery.

Regardless, Lu Ye’s operation left both parties very satisfied.

Mr. Qian was extremely happy, practically floating as he walked.

Because from what he heard from a leader who had come with Lu Ye, he had no problems to worry about. He could comfortably work here and still had a chance to climb up despite his age.

Mr. Qian understood this very clearly.

Moreover, he could see that even though Qiao Qingyu had kicked Lu Ye unconscious, the young man didn’t hold a grudge. Instead, he had helped them a lot, so he wasn’t worried.

In high spirits, he had a tractor take Qiao Qingyu back to the Base’s residential compound.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye stood at the Commune’s gate, watching the direction Qiao Qingyu had left for a long while before getting in a car back to Yushu County.

The Xiaxi Commune was slightly farther from the new residential compound of the Base; however, it took only about half an hour by tractor.

At the gate, the security guard informed Qiao Qingyu that Director Xie had come looking for her and told him to relay that Chief Engineer He’s home phone line had long-distance service activated.

He handed Qiao Qingyu a piece of paper with instructions for making long-distance calls.

She thanked the security guard and hurried home in high spirits—almost running...

She wanted to call her family immediately.

Then she would give her uncle their new phone number.
