Lin Chuxia silently gave a thumbs up.
Brilliant, simply brilliant.
When it comes to using underhanded tactics, Jia Liang is truly skillful.
"And then?" She couldn’t believe Zhang Wenbin got in trouble without Jia Liang’s involvement.
"Zhang Wenbin hadn’t had any work for half a year, his finances were already tight. This explosion cost him a lot to repair the house, the glass, and other aspects, making him urgently need money. Jia Liang then had one of his buddies approach Zhang Wenbin to tempt him into selling tapes. You know how high the profits from those tapes are. Previously, Zhang Wenbin didn’t have the connections, but now he did, and with one step, he fell right into the trap."
"That simple?" Lin Chuxia felt that the pit seemed a bit shallow, not like Jia Liang’s style.
What they didn’t know was that Jia Liang not only set this trap for Zhang Wenbin, but beforehand he also had people frequently pick up goods from him. In a mere half month, Zhang Wenbin became An City’s biggest yellow tape dealer, with a quantity and amount high enough for him to be sentenced to several years.
How joyful it was when making money, how desperate it was when being sentenced.

Lin Chuxia stayed a few more days in Ancheng County, wandering through streets and alleys, even going to the small market on West Street, but she didn’t encounter that figure again.
Perhaps she really was mistaken.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of March, spring was in full bloom, and the construction on the building site could commence.
During this time, Lin Chuxia re-planned a bit.
The whole building was divided into five parts, with the top layer being independent, serving as the headquarters for Xiyang.
The lower four floors were divided into two parts: one part as a hotel, and the other part a supermarket on the first floor, a mall on the second and third floors, and commercial use on the fourth floor.
After the general design plan was created, Zhuang Yang reviewed it with Lin Chuxia.
Since it was a commercial building, the design didn’t need to be flashy, with practicality and comfort being the priorities.
Additionally, the Xiyang Group’s procedures were beginning, and she planned to formally inaugurate the Xiyang Group when the building was completed.
She assigned the task to Wang Tianyu to handle the relevant procedures.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion, and she devoted more time to Qi Qi.
Children grow so quickly, especially within the first year, they change almost daily.
Each day brings new revelations.
At nine months old, Qi Qi could already say "mama" and "papa".
The little one inherited her mother’s fair complexion, looking as white and tender as a snowdrift.
Her large eyes were particularly dark.
Whenever she called out "mama" with those wet, dark eyes wide open, Lin Chuxia’s heart melted.
It’s no exaggeration to say that she would give her life for her at that moment.
Not to mention Qin Yang, who was utterly smitten with his daughter.
The shutter of the family camera was almost sparking from his constant pressing, all to capture more of his daughter’s beautiful moments.
Zhuang Jingshu had gone abroad during this time to integrate some businesses over there, planning to develop domestically afterward.
It’s said she has two uncles and cousins over there, but it seems they have no plan to return to develop in the country, accustomed to life abroad, despite the rapid domestic development, it still lags behind.
The Zhuang Family’s business over there is doing well, and they have no intention of further expanding by riding the wave of reform and opening up.
Before leaving, Zhuang Jingshu asked Lin Chuxia if she wanted to join her to meet those people or perhaps go on a trip.
Lin Chuxia declined.
Firstly, she had quite a few things on hand, especially as minor adjustments to the Xiyang Building’s renovations might arise anytime needing her confirmation.
Moreover, the procedures for the Xiyang Group required her personal review and signature.
Also, Qi Qi was still young and couldn’t handle long trips.
"Big Sister is going into labor, let’s go to the hospital."
While handing over the jacket, Qin Yang was given Little Qi Qi and dressed her in a thick outfit.
Upon hearing that Big Sister was in labor, Qin Yang put on his coat and went outside to start the car.
The family of three almost rushed to the People’s Hospital at utmost speed.
Once inside, they headed straight to the delivery room, but encountered Doctor Wang before reaching the door.
When Lin Chuxia was pregnant, Doctor Wang was in charge, and she found him not only skillful but also patient. So, when Qin Juan got pregnant, Lin Chuxia recommended him to her, making him Qin Juan’s attending doctor.
Big Sister was in labor, yet the attending doctor was outside.
Upon seeing Doctor Wang, Lin Chuxia’s mind went blank.
Doctor Wang, however, calmly looked at Lin Chuxia, "Mr. Lin, are you here to visit your sister-in-law?"
Lin Chuxia nodded, "Doctor Wang, hasn’t my sister-in-law given birth yet?"
Since it takes time from the onset of labor to delivery, it seems the cervix might not yet be dilated.
Yet Doctor Wang smilingly said, "Congratulations, you have a big nephew. They’re in the ward now; you can go directly there. It’s the same room you stayed in back then."
"Already born?"
"That fast?"
Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang almost spoke in unison.
They had rushed over as soon as they received the call, and it had been less than half an hour.
Lin Chuxia thought she was fast when she gave birth to Qi Qi, after all, she drank spiritual spring water every day, and had Old Sir He’s herbal medicine treatment.
Even Doctor Wang said her labor was short.
