Chapter 221 Qin Si Nian? Liao Hong? Yang Liu?
There are no illegal buildings in the yard of the old house now. Because Professor Ouyang was in a hurry to move in, no major repairs were made.
Although the yard looked a little empty, it was much better than the messy one Gu Qingyu had seen before. It looked clean before!
Because it is an old courtyard house, the main structure and doors and windows of the house are made of solid wood. However, due to years of disrepair and the previous tenants' lack of careful maintenance, the original texture of the wood has long been lost.
Fortunately, after being re-polished by skilled craftsmen and re-brushed with tung oil, the wood of the old building finally showed its original color and pattern, and the courtyard regained its antique elegance.
"Wow, this house is much bigger than ours!" Sun Lei, who came here for the first time, said with emotion as he looked at the newly renovated Ouyang old house.
It was also the first time that Gu Qingyu saw the renovated Ouyang Mansion. He nodded and said, "Tear down those illegal structures in the yard. It looks much better!"
Gu Lei nodded and said, "That's right. Those tenants really don't take care of the yard. I was also shocked when I first came here."
Gu Qingyu said coldly after hearing this, "It's not your own thing, so you don't feel bad about using it."
Professor Ouyang knew that Gu Qingyu was speaking up for him, so he smiled and said, "Those tenants have been cleared out. From now on, I will live out my retirement in peace in this courtyard!"
Xiao Yifei was afraid that his grandfather would be sad, so he quickly comforted him, "Grandpa, I will take good care of our old house in the future!"
Professor Ouyang looked at his grandson, who was patting his chest and making a serious promise, and said with satisfaction, "Okay, okay! This house will be passed down to you from now on. You must protect it well. This is the root of our Ouyang family!"
After helping Professor Ouyang pack his luggage, Gu Qingyu and others said goodbye to Ouyang's old house and left.
On the way back, Gu Qingyu asked about Sun Lei's situation, "How is your trading company's business going recently?"
When Sun Lei heard Gu Qingyu ask this, he immediately became interested in talking. He excitedly said to Gu Qingyu, "Of course it's getting better and better. I now have more than 20 employees under me. When I go out, people call me Mr. Sun!"
Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei's smug look and said unhappily, "Virtue!"
Gu Qingyu was worried that Sun Lei might get too carried away, so she warned him, "But a tall tree attracts the wind. When you do things, be mindful of your limits and give up some benefits when necessary. Got it?"
Sun Lei knew what Gu Qingyu meant by this. He changed his playful expression and said seriously, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean!"
"Some signs of what you warned me about before have already appeared, but they are just some second- and third-rate yamen from wealthy families. I can still handle them for now!"
As if thinking of something interesting, Sun Lei couldn't help laughing out loud. "It's funny, these people want to cooperate with me, but they're unwilling to invest. They just want to get something for nothing. There's no such good thing in the world!"
Gu Qingyu didn't find it strange to hear this. She said to Sun Lei frankly, "These young masters have become accustomed to taking shortcuts by abusing their fathers' power, and they just can't change it for the time being!"
"Generally speaking, people like this aren't very threatening and are relatively easy to deal with."
However, Gu Qingyu still reminded him worriedly, "Your current scale is still small. Once your business reaches a certain scale, the interests involved will be much greater. Have you thought about what to do?"
"I understand everything you said. I've already asked someone to contact those people mentioned above!"
"I just don't know if the other party will be interested in my small business!" Sun Lei frowned and said uncertainly.
When Gu Qingyu heard Sun Lei say this, he knew that he had given deep thought to the company's future development plan.
However, compared to Sun Lei's uncertainty, Gu Qingyu was not too worried about the problem he had just thought about.
During this period, the initial original capital accumulation of many similar companies was not very visible, just like the two brothers of the Gu family churning steel!
Now the people don’t report it and the officials don’t investigate it, so the relevant departments turn a blind eye and let it go.
But once it involves political struggle, as the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole, these are all obvious evidence!
Compared with them, Sun Lei's company is far ahead of other similar companies in terms of its clean background.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu said to Sun Lei in a comforting tone, "The small scale is only temporary. We also have our own advantages!"
Then, Gu Qingyu told Sun Lei everything he had just thought about in his mind.
After listening to Gu Qingyu's words, Sun Lei felt much more at ease and relaxed.
Sun Lei relaxed and even joked, "Qingyu, after listening to your analysis, I suddenly feel like I'm doing pretty good!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu nodded seriously at Sun Lei and said, "You did a good job!"
Sun Lei's original character was a bit arrogant, and he just said that purely to ease the atmosphere.
However, he didn't expect that Gu Qingyu really approved of what he was doing now. For a moment, Sun Lei suddenly felt like crying.
Gu Qingyu was sitting in the passenger seat and noticed Sun Lei's emotional change almost instantly.
During this period, Sun Lei made a lot of money, but received very little recognition.
However, this is the current social atmosphere. Compared with other professions, the social status of businessmen is always inferior.
"You've done a great job already. Keep it up and make yourself and Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu proud, okay?"
Sun Lei nodded with a choked voice after hearing this, and said in a relaxed and self-deprecating tone, "Don't worry, I'm planning to develop well in the future and let you cling to my thighs!"
Gu Qingyu heard the words and said, "Okay, young man, you are very confident. Then I am waiting for you to hold my thigh!"
After Sun Lei sent Gu Qingyu and the others back to the courtyard, he was about to start the car and leave when he suddenly remembered something he hadn't asked.
He stopped Gu Qingyu who was about to enter the house and asked, "Qingyu, I heard you say before that there are a pair of sisters in your dormitory. They are the daughters of the third branch of the Yuan family, right?"
"Are you talking about the sisters Yuan Lu and Yuan Man? They are indeed the daughters of the third branch of the Yuan family!"
Hearing Gu Qingyu's affirmative answer, Sun Lei frowned and lowered his head to think. It seemed that the woman was indeed a member of the Yuan family.
Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei, who was thinking silently with his head down, and asked in confusion, "Why did you think of asking about the Yuan sisters?"
Sun Lei explained to Gu Qingyu, "I'm not asking about the two sisters. I met a very strange woman in business. After asking around, I found out that she seems to have some connection with the Yuan family!"
"I remember you said that apart from the pair of sisters in your dormitory, there are no other girls in the Yuan family of this generation, right?"
Gu Qingyu was about to nod in agreement when she heard this, but suddenly she thought of the granddaughter that the Yuan family's eldest wife had just adopted.
"I just attended a classmate's engagement party and got some information. The person you're talking about should be the granddaughter that the Yuan family's eldest wife just found!"
Granddaughter?
Sun Lei was extremely surprised when he heard this!
Logically speaking, for such an important matter, the Yuan family should have released the news. How come he has never heard of this matter at all!
Sun Lei looked at Gu Qingyu puzzledly and said, "But I haven't heard of the Yuan family finding their granddaughter in the circle!"
Gu Qingyu also couldn't understand why the Yuan family didn't announce the fact that their granddaughter had been found.
"I don't know why the Yuan family didn't announce it to the public. I think it must be related to their internal struggle!"
"It's none of our business. Tell me first, why are you asking about that woman?"
Sun Lei replied sternly, "This woman named Qin Si Nian suddenly appeared recently. As soon as she appeared, she got involved with the gang of black market traders in the south of the city."
"A few of them have partnered up to form a trading company, and they've been competing with us for business lately. Many of my clients have been snatched away by them."
"That's why I asked someone to find out about that woman, and only then did I find out that she has connections from the Yuan family behind her!"
Gu Qingyu frowned upon hearing this. She looked at Sun Lei uncertainly and asked, "If I remember correctly, those people in the south of the city didn't have clean hands in their early years!"
"Then the commotion in the south of the city got so outrageous that they were severely punished two or three times, and they were forced to stay dormant. How did Qin Si Nian end up mixing with them?"
Sun Lei heard this and nodded in agreement. "You also find it strange, right? A family like the Yuan family, even if the grandchildren go out to do business, they shouldn't mix with these people."
Yes! Why are they mixed together?
For some reason, Gu Qingyu suddenly thought of the group of people he met in the staff quarters of the Red Star Food Factory.
She had a feeling that this Qin Si Nian might be the Yang Liu who hired someone to kill someone and finally disappeared in Xinhu?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu suddenly looked up at Sun Lei and asked, "Since you have asked someone to investigate Qin Si Nian's situation, what was her name before she returned to the Yuan family?"
"What a coincidence! Qin Si Nian's original name was Liao Hong, and she's also from Xinhu City in your Jiang Province."
Liao Hong? Her name isn't Yang Liu!
Gu Qingyu rubbed her eyebrows with a headache. Could it be that she had guessed wrong before?
No, how could there be such a coincidence in this world? The incident with Accountant Yuan is definitely related to the Yuan family!
Gu Qingyu, still unwilling to give up, looked at Sun Lei and asked again, "Have you found out about Liao Hong's situation?"
Sun Lei looked at Gu Qingyu with confusion, not understanding why the other party suddenly paid more attention to Qin Si Nian than him.
Although he was puzzled, Sun Lei believed that Gu Qingyu's question was not without reason and there must be a reason that he didn't know, so he answered honestly.
"I've inquired about it. Liao Hong signed up for the Up to the Countryside Movement in 69 and went to another place. She didn't return to Xinhu until the policy on educated youth was relaxed in 75!"
"Not long after she returned to Xinhu, she was found by the Yuan family, who had been searching for their granddaughter, and brought back to Jing City!"
Judging from the information Sun Lei obtained through investigation, this Qin Si Nian does not seem to be the missing Yang Liu. Could it be that she was wrong in her guess?
Sun Lei looked at Gu Qingyu frowning and thinking, and asked curiously, "Qingyu, is there something wrong with this Qin Si Nian?"
Gu Qingyu recovered after hearing this and shook his head at Sun Lei. "I don't have any questions for now. I'll ask someone to check it out first!"
Seeing that Gu Qingyu didn't seem to be interested in discussing the matter in detail, Sun Lei asked, "Do you want me to contact them under the pretext of doing business?"
Gu Qingyu shook his head when he heard this. "Stop it! Just do your business honestly and don't get involved in these things. Got it?"
After thinking about it, Gu Qingyu warned Sun Lei worriedly, "Those people in the south of the city are ruthless and cruel. They'll just take away the clients. Don't get into any more conflicts with them. Got it?"
"It's just right. Taking advantage of this incident, we can also make a change and start the department store we planned earlier!"
Since Gu Qingyu repeatedly told him not to interfere in this matter, Sun Lei was a man who listened to advice!
"Okay, I understand. I'll go prepare for the department store and supermarket business when I get back."
Gu Qingyu and Sun Lei discussed the department store and supermarket matters for a while before sending Sun Lei away.
Seeing Sun Lei driving away, Gu Lei came up to Gu Qingyu and asked with concern, "I saw that you looked not well just now. Did something happen?"
Gu Qingyu shook his head upon hearing this. "It's nothing serious, I just have some doubts that I haven't figured out yet!"
The two of them walked into the house together, but Gu Qingyu's mind was still on Qin Si Nian.
After thinking for a long time, Tian Gu Qingyu still didn't believe that there was no relationship between Qin Si Nian and Yang Liu.
Since she doesn't believe Sun Lei's investigation results, then she will investigate it herself!
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu suddenly stopped and said to Gu Lei beside him, "Leizi, there is something I want to figure out. Can you help me go out for a while?"
Gu Lei also stopped when he heard that, turned to look at Gu Qingyu and asked, "What's the matter, Qingyu?"
"If you have any problems, just leave them to me. I promise to make everything clear to you!" Gu Lei promised, patting his chest.
Do it as soon as you think of it. Gu Qingyu waved at Gu Lei, asking him to lean closer and listen, and then he explained it in detail to him.
After saying that, Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei and asked, "Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I will personally visit all the places you mentioned and make sure I investigate them thoroughly for you!"
Gu Qingyu nodded after hearing this, and added, "It would be difficult for you to find out about this matter alone. I have some connections in Xinhu. You can ask them for help when necessary."
