Chapter 556 Wildfire can’t burn it all

"Really, no need. I'm fine," Cui Xiuyuan said with a self-deprecating smile. "I walked around our old mall for a long time today. Suddenly, I felt that I was so timid and afraid to do anything in the past two years. It was really ridiculous. I escaped death. What do you think I am afraid of?"

Cui Changjia felt very uncomfortable, "Brother, don't say that. You and I are different. If this project fails, I still have Zhou Qingyan behind me. I won't be affected much, but you will be the one who suffers the most."

"How can pressure be greater than death? Look at our shopping mall, which was only built two years ago, and the ruins are already covered with weeds. Wildfires cannot burn them all, and spring breezes will bring new growth. Am I born as a human being, but I am not as good as a few grasses?"

Cui Changjia had already walked to the front of the car and said, "Brother, wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Cui Xiuyuan paused for a moment, "Okay, come on, I'll wait for you on the roadside. Let's go home for lunch today. I'll call mom and ask her to make dumplings for us."

"Row."

Cui Changjia put Ding Xinglin's matter aside and drove quickly to pick up Cui Xiuyuan.

When Cui Changjia arrived, Cui Xiuyuan was squatting at the location of the main entrance in front of the shopping mall. Now the place was blocked by a piece of iron sheet. Cui Xiuyuan was standing there wearing a black down jacket and the hood on the down jacket, looking lonely and cold.

Cui Changjia parked the car next to Cui Xiuyuan. Cui Xiuyuan walked over quickly, opened the passenger door and sat in.

As soon as he got in the car, he said to Cui Changjia, "Let's give it a try this time. If we don't succeed, we'll die!"

After the heavy feeling, Cui Xiuyuan's expression became much lighter.

Cui Changjia said, "It doesn't have to be so tragic. I am still very confident."

Cui Xiuyuan joked, "The worst that can happen is that our whole family goes to work for our eldest brother-in-law!"

Cui Changjia smiled, it was impossible to work for Zhou Qingyan.

Cui Changjia remembered something and asked her elder brother, "Brother, how much do you think our factory can be valued at now?"

"If we only count the land and the building, I think it can be sold for at least five million. Our location is a bit remote, and if we move a little further in, the price will probably be doubled."

Five million, Cui Xiuyuan was still a bit conservative.

"Five million is the price this year. I heard from Zhou Qingyan that a highway will be built two kilometers west of our factory, and the upper and lower bridge entrances will be there. If it is confirmed, the price of our factory will more than double."

"Are you sure you want to build the highway entrance and exit?"

"That's almost right, brother. As long as we have this piece of land and this factory, we will never be hungry in the future."

Cui Xiuyuan felt much more at ease. "Since we have decided to do it, you should make the charter as soon as possible and we will start the work as soon as possible. I will fully cooperate with you! I will have a meeting with the finance department in the afternoon and come up with a budget. The Agricultural Bank of China has contacted me several times and asked if I want a loan. They can at least approve a low-interest loan of 2 million. It's almost January, so I will contact them."

Cui Changjia nodded, "Brother, call Tian Jinhui first and tell him about Ding Xinglin. Ding Xinglin called me this morning. I don't know why, but it seemed like they were very anxious to meet Tian Jinhui."

"Tian Jinhui really wants to open a home furnishing store, so they are in a hurry. There are only a few good locations, and whoever gets them first gets them." Cui Xiuyuan said as he took out his cell phone to contact Tian Jinhui.

Tian Jinhui and his team had already started planning to build a store, and they also needed to get to know the owners of these manufacturers. He took the initiative to ask Cui Xiuyuan for Ding Xinglin's phone number so that he could contact him.

Since Cui Xiuyuan was discharged from the hospital and returned to the factory, he rarely returned to Changsheng Community. He has only been here twice in more than two years. This place has his most painful memories, so he generally does not want to come back.

After Jiang Hongying received Cui Xiuyuan's call that he wanted to eat dumplings, she hurriedly kneaded the dough and mixed the stuffing. When the two of them came over, she had just started to wrap them. As soon as she pushed the door open, the room was filled with the fragrant smell of chives and eggs.

Jiang Hongying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You two came at the right time. Xiao Bao is about to finish school. Who of you two will pick her up?"

She was planning to pick up her children first and then make dumplings.

Cui Xiuyuan said, "I'll go pick it up."

Cui Changjia grabbed him and said, "Brother, stay at home and warm up. I'll go pick her up."

Cui Xiuyuan was freezing outside. Just now in the car, she saw him curled up like he couldn't get warm. This year, because Xiaobao was studying here, they turned on the heater, so the house was quite warm. Let him warm up at home, don't let him catch a cold in such a cold day.

Cui Xiuyuan was indeed very cold, so he did not argue with Cui Changjia.

The school is more than 300 meters away from the community. When Cui Changjia got there, Xiaobao had just finished school. He picked up the child at the gate and brought Xiaobao back. It only took him about ten minutes in total.

When Xiaobao saw Cui Xiuyuan coming, he was extremely happy. He rushed to him, calling "Dad" and asking him to hug him.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"Your dad said he missed you, so he came." Cui Changjia took off his down jacket and hung it on the rack. Just as he was about to wash his hands, he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" Cui Changjia said as he went to open the door.

The neighbor's grandmother brought over a big bowl of hot and sour soup. "Jia Jia is back. Xiao Bao loves the hot and sour soup I make. I just made it. I'll bring you a bowl."

"Thank you, grandma." Cui Changjia took it hurriedly, and then she called Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, come here and thank grandma."

Cui Xiuyuan carried Xiaobao over, and Xiaobao called out in a clear voice, "Grandma, thank you."

"Xiuyuan!" The neighbor grandmother said in surprise, "You're back too!"

"Hey, grandma," Cui Xiuyuan greeted the neighbor's grandma with a smile, "Jia Jia and I were doing some work nearby at noon, so we came back."

The neighbor's grandmother pulled Cui Xiuyuan up and down and looked him up and down, exclaiming, "Hey, he looks like a good person, and he doesn't have so many scars."

Jiang Hongying said, "I have many scars on my body, and it's not comfortable when it's cloudy or rainy."

The grandmother next door looked at Cui Xiuyuan and then at Xiaobao, then walked over to Jiang Hongying and whispered, "Xiuyuan is back, why don't I call Mingxiu and let them meet? There are some things that are better to talk about in person. If you think it's inconvenient for Xiaobao to be at home, why don't you meet at my house?"

Jiang Hongying said, "I'll ask Xiuyuan later," and then raised her voice and said, "I'll bring the dumplings to you when they're ready."

"Don't send it. I've prepared the meal. There are only me and my old man at home and we can't eat that much. Just send the bowl to me later."

Cui Changjia sent the grandma next door back home, then turned around and came back to help her mother make dumplings.

"What did the grandmother next door tell you?" Cui Changjia asked, "about introducing a girl to my brother?"
