Since Chen Yibing announced that she was waiting for Wang Shouyun that day, her life seemed to be on a normal track.
After the peace negotiations between China and Japan began, the post-war reconstruction work also began one after another. A large number of remains and limbs of soldiers and civilians were waiting for people to claim them. The remains of soldiers were uniformly buried by the military department. Martyrs Cemetery, but many of the bodies of innocent people affected by the war are unclaimed. Some were shot dead on the road by stray bullets while escaping, and some were crushed to death in their own homes by collapsed houses. Their entire families died. Here, it became a body without an owner and no one to care for it.
Because Xicheng District closed the iron gates before the war, the Chinese people in Dongcheng District had nowhere to escape. Some people chose to escape from the city, and a large number of people chose to stick to their homes. As a result, a large number of people died in own home.
Compared with the powerful Ministry of Industry and Industry, although the weak municipal government is in charge of the civil affairs of Dongcheng District, its finances are simply not enough to pay for a large amount of reconstruction work. Although patriots have called for donations, it is a drop in the bucket. Compared with Dongcheng District's Individual donations pale in comparison to the reconstruction effort.
Chen Yibing naturally donated money on her own initiative. When Wang Shouyun passed away, her righteous deeds won the people of Heisei a lot of praise for this strong wife of the former teacher. The common people also spontaneously organized activities to commemorate General Wang Shouyun. Chen Mansion received many letters of thanks from progressive college students and ordinary people every day, and some even delivered fruits and vegetables to the door.
There are also large-scale poems praising and mourning Wang Shouyun in newspapers. People in Pingcheng mourn in various ways the general who heroically protected Pingcheng during the war.
But these honors and condolences are undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Chen Yibing.
The city government quickly auctioned off the empty properties that no one inherited. Not only can the money be used for post-disaster reconstruction, but those who auctioned off the ownerless properties can also carry out new construction on their own, and can Saves the city a lot of money.
Although this policy had mixed reputations, it was still implemented. Zhang Shaobai had long planned to get involved in real estate. However, the big real estate developers in Pingcheng at that time were all foreigners who had settled in Pingcheng in the early years. Those foreigners hoarded large areas of land. They took advantage of the innate conditions and developed many villas for foreigners and wealthy people to live in. , as well as high-end apartments, are very popular.
Zhang Shaobai's relationship with Chen Yibin has become increasingly deep in recent years, and he is much more sincere than when he pretended to pursue her. At that time, his main purpose in pursuing Chen Yibin was actually for the huge benefits she could bring, but in After his pursuit failed, the cooperation between the two allowed him to understand Chen Yibing more deeply. He went from wanting to conquer her into his own hands to treating her as a friend now. He is the one who treats Chen Yibing as an equal, and Not a vassal standing under his wing.
Zhang Shaobai came to visit Chen Yibin, not only to check on her state of mind these days, but also to talk to her about the development work of the two newly acquired lands. He wanted to listen to her suggestions. After doubling the sales of the Lou Garden and earning 300,000 yuan, her vision in investment was very praised.
When Zhang Shaobai entered the house, Chen Yibin was holding Xiao Lezhao in the living room to bask in the sun. The child did not know that she had lost her father when she was born. The living room was still filled with her joyful and carefree laughter. When she heard the child's The laughter made Zhang Shaobai feel a lot better.
Wang Lezhao is Wang Shouyun’s only flesh and blood in this world. Thinking of this, Zhang Shaobai also felt sad for Wang Shouyun. The friendly relationship between Zhang Shaobai and Wang Shouyun was before Chen Yibing, and Wang Shouyun was under Zou Shixiong. The relationship with Zhang Shaobai was good at that time. At that time, Wang Shouyun was ordered by Zou Shixiong to cooperate with Zhang Shaobai to sell tobacco and soil. Wang Shouyun did not support this at first, but the huge profits from tobacco and soil made Zou Shixiong jealous. The military expenditure that could not be paid and those who were waiting for him were The well-fed soldiers forced Wang Shouyun to compromise. However, after Wang Shouyun earned his first pot of gold, he invested the money in other areas, and he was still making money steadily, so he later became He could donate 70,000 yuan to Zheng Yuanshan to fight against the Japanese in Chahar. Otherwise, how could he have saved so many yuan just by earning his own salary.
But in Zhang Shaobai's view, Wang Shouyun's persistence was simply ridiculous. Not to mention, even Song Dinghai cooperated with him in the tobacco business in private, and then raised a large amount of funds to bribe those Did the warlords in various provinces switch sides to him? Otherwise, if the wars were fought one by one, how could Song Dinghai unify the country? But with the battle against the Japanese in Pingcheng going like this, what's the use of Song Dinghai's thin reputation of unifying the country? Song Dinghai's hesitant war dispersed several of his elite troops and killed more than 10,000 of his elite troops. Even a promising young general like Wang Shouyun was lost in the war. , Song Dinghai, does he really think this is good?
Zhang Shaobai thought of the secret letters he received from Song Dinghai during the battle of Pingcheng and the various compromising attitudes towards the Japanese. Song Dinghai might have thought that as long as he was the nominal leader of the country, he could Do a lot of things. Zhang Shaobai knew that he had little education, and he thought it was nonsense when college students shouted about democracy. But how could Song Dinghai, who came to power shouting for democracy, have any democracy?
When Chen Yibing saw Zhang Shaobai coming, she handed the child to the nanny and turned around to greet Zhang Shaobai. Zhang Shaobai then calmed down and thought that Wang Shouyun had passed away. Although no one believed it, Chen Yiping I thought there was hope without a body, but the damaged helmet showed the tragic situation at that time. How could a person survive in that situation? It's nothing more than lies one after another to support Chen Yibing.
Although Zhang Shaobai looked at Chen Yibin with a sad look, he was still quite calm. However, her state continued. Zhang Shaobai was actually a little worried, but he still didn't talk about these topics first. All Chen Yibin's good friends were After being told by Huang Weitian not to mention Wang Shouyun, Zhang Shaobai naturally refused to say anything.
Zhang Shaobai first asked about Wang Lezhao's growth. When he mentioned his little daughter, Chen Yiping showed a faint smile and talked a little more.
After Zhang Shaobai chatted with her for a while, he mentioned the development of his two real estate properties. Chen Yiping thought about it and said to him: "I wonder what you think about building an apartment that ordinary people can afford?"
Zhang Shaobai heard that the construction of high-end apartments in Pingcheng was very expensive. Crystal chandeliers, American toilets, etc. were all imported. How could ordinary people afford it when it was very expensive? Unless he loses profits.
Chen Yibing saw that Zhang Shaobai was silent and knew that he was calculating the cost, so she said: "After this war, housing prices in Pingcheng will inevitably rise sharply, and the price of renting a house will also rise accordingly. In the past, renting a pavilion might have cost ten yuan. , it may cost fifteen yuan or more in the future. Brother Zhang, why not build a few apartments for rent in pavilions, and use partitions to make each room smaller. In this way, one building can generally rent for thirty to fifty thousand a year. If you build more buildings, you will receive more every year. When people in Dongcheng District are in urgent need of a large number of houses, Brother Zhang can not only gain a good reputation but also make money, so why not? ”
When Zhang Shaobai heard what she said, he also calculated an economic account in his mind and said, "It's just that the initial investment was a little more."
Chen Yibing said: "After an early investment, some manpower needs to be invested in the later stage. And as you know, the most indispensable thing in Pingcheng is manpower. Even the cleaning ladies have people lined up to do it."
Zhang Shaobai said: "Yes, I have the most people under my command. I can send some idle young people to collect rent. This can be regarded as my funds to support idle people."
Chen Yiping said: "Brother Zhang is so generous and tries to find a way out for his subordinates."
After Zhang Shaobai heard what she said, he said: "Actually, I was also touched by the students who asked for orders to go to the battlefield. How many of those students are our young Baixiang people? There are very few of them who have never gone to school. Teach them the truth and rely on their passion to come to me. I just gave them a little way out, but they actually did such heroic things. I was surprised myself."
Chen Yiping said: "This is sowing a good fruit and reaping countless blessings. Those students have learned knowledge and have the education of Principal Shen, so they naturally have the courage to be loyal and loyal."
Zhang Shaobai nodded and said: "I found that people will change a little after I have known you for a long time." Zhang Shaobai thought of his ongoing charity work and the real estate business that can gain fame and benefits. Based on his conditions, building a casino or opium den might be more in line with his status and more profitable, but he also felt that Chen Yiping's proposal was a good one. He already has enough money to provide convenience for everyone, so that when people in the future remember Zhang Shaobai, they can praise him fairly and objectively and not forget to help the people during the war.
Chen Yibing said: "Actually, if making money is convenient for everyone, they will naturally make money slowly. If you only think about it from your own perspective, how can others buy it?"
Zhang Shaobai praised her a few more times, and Chen Yibin asked him to stay for dinner. Zhang Shaobai did not refuse. When Zhang Shaobai said goodbye after the meal, he said to Chen Yibin seriously: "Jiahe, if you need my help with anything, no matter how busy you are. Xiao Meng, don’t be polite to me. You know I can still open my mouth in Pingcheng. Don’t be polite to me. Just speak up when you need me.”
When Chen Yiping heard him say such sincere words of concern, why didn't she know that he was worried that she would do something stupid after Wang Shouyun passed away? Thinking of the acquaintance between her and Zhang Shaobai in the past few years, they had been on two different paths in their previous lives. Chen Yibin was also very moved that she could gradually become a good friend in this life. Now that he cares about her so much, Chen Yibin was moved, choked up and nodded.
Zhang Shaobai saw tears in her eyes, reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "Oh, how could a good person do this?"
Chen Yiping felt sad and almost burst into tears, but she still controlled it. After Zhang Shaobai left, she cried in the room for a while before going out to see Xiao Lezhao.
After the memorial ceremony for the soldiers, Song Dinghai promoted Wang Shouyun to lieutenant general and sent some pension money and items to Chen's mansion. Although Chen Yiping did not attend the foundation laying ceremony, he was very calm. He accepted the money and belongings, and even the lieutenant general's uniform.
Just facing that military uniform, Chen Yibing could no longer hold back her emotions. In an instant, she burst into tears silently, crying with such grief.
