Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Money Is Meant to Be Spent

After Le Jianjun left, Ji Yang sat there, lost in thought.

The responsibility for the township’s guarantee was now lifted, but there were still some issues. The banks were still under pressure to recover loans. As far as the banks were concerned, nothing had changed.

Thinking that everyone had significant influence, including the ability to sway the banks, Ji Yang decided not to worry about it. As long as it wasn’t his problem anymore, that was fine.

With nothing pressing to do for the moment, Ji Yang’s office felt quite nice. The warm sun shined on him. Winter had arrived, and many tasks had entered the year-end summary stage. Ji Yang began to consider the next steps for economic development.

He then thought about Qian Huifang’s project. Their real estate project had already entered the pre-sale phase, and reportedly the results were good; many homes had been sold in advance.

With their project, Huancheng Township now had a highlight. It was an achievement Ji Yang could proudly speak of since taking his position.

There were also the Wu Family Sisters’ project—a lavender estate of ten thousand acres—underway, and the mountain-top resort "Bird’s Nest Hotel" was also doing well. It promised to be a tourist attraction in the next stage.

Capital was invested, and everyone worked hard, which put Ji Yang in a good mood.

Of course, if the four women weren’t so often together, leaving him no chance, Ji Yang would feel even better.

Thinking of how those four women had become so close, from who-knows-when, Ji Yang just shook his head.

Now, Ji Yang didn’t even know how to face them.

Lighting a cigarette, Ji Yang booted up his computer.

Even after he had allocated twenty million yuan for Wu Mi to invest in a battery factory, he still had around a hundred million yuan in stock market assets.

With the funds just sitting there, Ji Yang had thoughts of a better use. He didn’t need so much money for himself, so why not give half to his family to improve their living conditions?

Ji Yang was curious about how every stock he bought seemed to rise after some time. Now with so much money, Ji Yang felt uneasy. He had already contacted the bank to help transfer half of it to his mother’s account.

Actually, these matters needn’t be so complicated, but Ji Yang still decided to let everyone know, even calling the county discipline inspection commission to explain and request an investigation into the matter.

Ji Yang, once bitten, was twice shy. He understood that to navigate the official terrain, it was necessary to plug any potential loopholes. The best way was to let departments like the discipline inspection commission know his financial situation.

Ji Yang kept evidence of every transaction; though stock trades and bank records were traceable, he still made efforts to retain additional proofs.

Transferring the money was easy, and soon he had transferred fifty million yuan to his mother.

Just as Ji Yang finished this, his mother called.

"Yang, why is there money transferred to my card?" Li Shujuan naturally cared deeply about her son’s affairs.

Ji Yang explained the situation broadly and said, "The discipline inspection commission knows about this money, so you can use it without worries. We aren’t short on cash now."

"You can’t do anything foolish."

"Don’t worry, really, there’s no issue."

After further explanation, Ji Yang managed to reassure his mother.

Looking at the remaining fifty million yuan, Ji Yang continued his investing habits and found a state-owned enterprise stock, one that had plummeted to nearly a single yuan per share, and bought in with all of his capital.

With Ji Yang’s fifty million yuan investment, the price of that stock even rallied a bit.

After handling this, Ji Yang no longer paid much attention to such affairs. He didn’t rely on the stocks for a quick rise.

Lately, Ji Yang hadn’t been writing much fiction. Previously, it was a way to earn money, but now with an abundance of cash, he no longer knew how to spend it; writing had become a hobby rather than a means to make money.

He wasn’t updating his novel quickly, just posting daily. However, he noticed his novel’s readership had significantly increased, and its performance improved by the day.

What Ji Yang didn’t know was that his money transfer had stirred up some commotion in the county. In the realms of officialdom, there are no absolute secrets. His wealth was common knowledge, and some even studied his means of acquiring money. Now that he transferred so much to his mother, it had drawn people’s attention anew.

However, be it the discipline inspection commission or the auditing department, they had reviewed Ji Yang’s financial situation countless times. Each investigation confirmed that his assets were from clear and legitimate income, so they stopped prying into his affairs.

Another thing Ji Yang was unaware of: each time he reported his financial status, the discipline inspection commission maintained a special finance dossier exclusively about him. It logged his income details, effectively allowing the commission to monitor his financial situation. If anyone reported anything, the commission could immediately clarify the origins of his funds, solving a significant problem for him.
