Xiao Dang and Huai Zeng were rescued, but both contracted a disease from their clients. When Qin Huairu heard this news, she fainted on the spot! The police took Qin Huairu to the hospital, and now her illness could no longer be hidden.
The three of them embraced each other and cried, their sorrow palpable. News of their plight quickly spread through Tongluo Alley, and soon the three of them became objects of disdain. Meanwhile, due to numerous complaints against Qin Huairu from the steel mill, the factory decided to force her into early retirement.
Originally, Qin Huairu only needed to work for five more years to retire with full benefits. Now, with this forced retirement, she would only receive half of her pension! Qin Huairu was unwilling to accept this, but she had no choice. The factory presented her with two options: either retire early and receive half of her pension or be dismissed for severely damaging the factory's reputation.
Faced with this ultimatum, Qin Huairu had no choice but to opt for early retirement.
When Wang Jiefang was informed that Qin Huairu was kneeling at the entrance of Shiwei Xian with Xiao Dang and Huai Zeng, begging for them to be reinstated, he was not surprised at all by her actions. He didn’t even bother to meet them; he simply ordered them to be removed.
He explained to the onlookers, "Everyone, it's not that we at Shiwei Xian are heartless; it’s just that these three have contracted a disease. As you know, we are in the service industry and cannot allow sick individuals to work here!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd agreed that the restaurant was justified in its decision. They certainly didn’t want to risk being served by someone who might infect them. The three women were taken aback by the restaurant's public disclosure of their illness, and they felt the disdainful gazes from those around them.
Unable to withstand the judgmental stares and comments any longer, they eventually stood up and fled in embarrassment.
Before Wang Jiefang's branch opened, he received news that a stock market had been launched in a southern city. Wang Jiefang knew that even a fool could make money in the stock market at this time! With that in mind, he saw no reason to hesitate.
He stopped focusing on his restaurant and gathered a group of wealthy second- and third-generation individuals, taking them along to invest in this new market. These young investors had long been envious of Wang Jiefang’s success with his restaurant. Now that he promised them a chance to make money, they had no reason not to join him.
Wang Jiefang spent a month in that city and made ten billion Long coins himself; others earned at least several million! If it weren’t for calls from their elders warning them not to go overboard, they might have made even more! Wang Jiefang realized they were being watched because they had made too much money too quickly. If they hadn’t had backing from influential families, who knows how the government would have dealt with them?
Wang Jiefang considered it reasonable that they received warnings; he had forgotten that stocks were newly issued and still in a trial period. The market was small enough as it was; their sudden influx would naturally attract attention!
Since the stock market in Long Country was limited, Wang Jiefang decided to take these investors to Ying Zeng Country, which was just entering an economic crisis—an ideal time for investment!
With his capital, Wang Jiefang managed to turn things around in Ying Zeng Country over two years and returned to Long Country with over a thousand billion Mi dollars!
Now those second- and third-generation investors who followed Wang Jiefang became billionaires—each one of them rich beyond imagination. What surprised Wang Jiefang yet seemed entirely reasonable was that while he was making money in Ying Zeng Country, he discovered another group of people from Long Country doing exactly what he was doing!
However, those people were much larger than him. Wang Jiefang secretly investigated and discovered that they were state personnel! After a moment of thought, he understood; it was clear that the national leaders had noticed his submission detailing the economic situation of Yingzong Country. Given the historical grievances between Long Country and Yingzong Country, they felt that they had to intervene, or else they wouldn't be worthy of calling themselves citizens of Long Country!
In contrast to Wang Jiefang's return of over a hundred billion, the team from Long Country brought back more than nine hundred billion, nearly reaching a trillion in U.S. dollars! This allowed Long Country to recover significantly, and they began to develop vigorously.
When Wang Jiefang returned with this money, he caught the attention of the higher-ups. In fact, as soon as he and his team returned to the country, they were summoned for a meeting by the leaders!
Fortunately, the leaders were magnanimous and did not touch Wang Jiefang's money. Understanding the situation, Wang Jiefang immediately donated five hundred billion U.S. dollars to the state as a charitable fund, allowing the government to use this money for educational development!
With the remaining five hundred billion U.S. dollars, Wang Jiefang exchanged it for Long Country currency and registered a real estate company! He held ten percent of the shares, while other second-generation investors held forty percent, and they had no objections to this arrangement!
With the five hundred billion U.S. dollars in donations, the government opened its doors wide for Wang Jiefang's company. Thanks to sufficient funding, Wang Jiefang initiated a nationwide development project in key locations, constructing plazas that combined leisure and shopping facilities!
At the same time, Wang Jiefang also established an entertainment company because he knew that movies would be highly profitable in the future! Conveniently, each plaza included a cinema; once films were produced, they could be screened in their own theaters!
In addition to building plazas, Wang Jiefang also focused on developing residential housing. However, he had no intention of profiting from ordinary homes; he sold them at cost price! As a result, his company gained an excellent reputation among the public!
Wang Jiefang's approach angered other construction companies. Soon enough, rumors spread among the public that his company's houses were poorly constructed!
