Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Seeing Acquaintances Again

It hadn’t been long before a few SUVs approached.

Seeing Ji Yang standing by the roadside, the motorcade stopped.

"Hello, old classmate," Sun Xiaozhen said with a smile as she approached.

Ji Yang had just greeted her when he saw another young girl getting out of her car.

"Ji, we meet again," the girl smiled at Ji Yang.

"You... Sun Xiaoxiao."

Ji Yang recognized her right away; she was one of the girls he had saved, and he had carried her for a long time.

Back then, Sun Xiaoxiao looked quite scruffy, but now she was completely transformed, fashionably dressed and well-groomed, looking very beautiful.

"Didn’t recognize me, did you?" Sun Xiaoxiao chuckled.

Her smile made her even more beautiful.

Sun Xiaozhen joked, "Don’t drool, Xiaoxiao is a beauty."

The classmates who came along laughed.

Sun Xiaozhen added, "Since you know each other, let me introduce her again; Xiaoxiao is my uncle’s daughter."

Ji Yang looked towards Sun Xiaozhen, this beautiful but modest classmate. He had not known she had connections like these before.

However, seeing the wealthy classmates able to hang out with her, Ji Yang understood why; people of certain levels do tend to stick together, and there was some truth to that.

"Are you completely healed?"

Ji Yang asked Sun Xiaoxiao.

"I’ve been fine for a while now, and so have they."

"How about those two who were unconscious?"

"Don’t worry, they’re all better now. You really saved their lives this time."

Ji Yang smiled, "That’s good to hear."

After saying this, he hugged a few classmates and then said, "I’ll arrange for your accommodation first."

He had made a phone call earlier and arranged some things.

When the cars arrived at the guest house, Cao Li had been waiting there.

"Chief Ji, everything is arranged."

The guest house staff led everyone to check in while Ji Yang sat in the lobby on a sofa.

Cao Li came over with a smile and said, "Don’t worry, their accommodation will definitely satisfy them."

The guest house seemed more formal now, and Ji Yang wasn’t too worried.

"How is your work going now?"

The guest house had somewhat of a leased nature to it.

Cao Li said, "Chief Ji, I heard that the village will fully lease out the guest house next."

"What do you think?" Cao Li wasn’t really a village official, just in charge of the place, struggling with her employment issues. Without the guest house, Cao Li didn’t even know what she would do.

Cao Li gave a wry smile, "Chief Ji, you know my situation. I came from the countryside and have only worked here. I don’t know much about the outside world, and passing the civil service exam is out of the question. This is all I know how to do."

"Could you take over the lease of this guest house?" Ji Yang asked.

"Although internal staff are given priority, I don’t have that much money."

Ji Yang looked around and said, "Tell me how much you need when the time comes, and I’ll help you solve it. I think it’s better for you to lease the guest house."

Cao Li’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

"The next step is to move the village office to a new site. This place is further from there, and when they say lease, they actually mean to sell it off. Talk to them and buy this place. After re-decorating, it will surely be profitable."

"Buy it?"

Ji Yang nodded, "Yes, just let me know how much you’re short."

"Chief Ji..."

Mixed emotions crossed Cao Li’s face. She had been sleepless for days over this matter, uncertain what she would do if she had to leave.

Of course, the village was also developing. The new leaders were setting up bathing centers that needed people. One of her subordinates had become a supervisor there, but she didn’t want to work in such a place.

But if this place really was leased out, she definitely wouldn’t have a job anymore and wouldn’t know what to do.

Now, with Ji Yang’s full support, if she could get this place going, it might turn out quite well.

Ji Yang then said, "This guest house was carefully built by Lu Shijie and the others. The environment and facilities are good. I’ll speak for you, buy this place, and after some adjustments, it will certainly be a good project."

"But I can’t afford it."

"Don’t worry, I believe in your ability."

Cao Li had always leaned on him, and during this critical time, Ji Yang could only help her as much as possible.

Cao Li looked at Ji Yang, and a decision formed in her heart.

"Alright, I’ll talk to them and see how much it would cost to buy it."

"This place is ultimately in a rural area, and everyone’s focus is on the new site. The committee has consistently intended to sell it; a few million should suffice to secure it."

Cao Li wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent. Now she had realized that this place would belong to Ji Yang in the future, and her job was to manage it well for him.

Ji Yang smiled and said, "The people coming this time are my classmates. Maybe I won’t even need to invest; they might contribute. In any case, you will be one of the shareholders and responsible for managing this place."

Cao Li smiled, "Chief Ji, I will listen to you in everything."

"Good. We’ll also need quite a few people here, and those who have been trained can be given higher pay. Keep as many as you can."
