Chapter 838: Chapter 838: The Reconstruction Effort
The roads finally cleared, and disaster relief supplies were continuously being transported in. At this moment, Ji Yang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
One by one, calls came to Ji Yang’s phone. Everyone was inquiring about his situation. Even though they had seen his condition in the live broadcast, they still wanted to confirm.
Chu Shuyuan called first.
“Are you okay? Don’t push yourself so hard.”
“I’m fine, doing well.”
“You!” Chu Shuyuan didn’t even know what to say. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel·fiɾe·net
After chatting for a while, Chu Shuyuan asked, “How are you planning to handle the reconstruction work in that place?”
Ji Yang was also pondering this matter. While setting up some formations could naturally gather many people, he didn’t plan to do that anymore and would rebuild in a normal way.
“I haven’t had a look at the situation here. I’ll decide after I check it out.”
“I’ve sent Chu Ning over. This time the Chu Family will assist you without charge. I’ll arrange for the family to invest more funds for you to use in reconstruction.”
“Are you in charge of the Chu Family now?” Ji Yang was somewhat surprised.
Chu Shuyuan merely smiled and said, “There’s almost no one left in the Chu Family who can hold things up. The previous key figures have either stepped down or lacked competence, just idling in their positions. So, relatively speaking, I’m the one doing best in the family. Although my say isn’t much, I have a certain level of influence. Besides, Chu Ning and the others admire you. I’ll send him over and add my funds; it should be about a billion. You use this money as you see fit.”
In reality, Chu Shuyuan had also secretly invested in Qian Huifang and their industries. This money she couldn’t use directly and could only place it with those like Chu Ning, who weren’t in governmental positions. This time, it seemed it would all be used for disaster reconstruction.
“I can get the money.”
“Alright, I know those women of yours are wealthy, but their money is all tied up in your city’s construction. Asking them to reallocate would affect the projects’ progress. Your city was hit in many parts by the earthquake, so don’t be too polite with me.”
“Okay then, I’ll design something to ensure your investments won’t suffer.”
Chu Shuyuan laughed and said, “I’m really not short of money right now.”
“I’ll find time to visit you.”
Just after finishing the call, Sun Xiaoxiao’s call came in. Of course, she too inquired about Ji Yang’s situation, her voice full of concern.
Ji Yang didn’t quite know what to do with this girl. Sun Xiaoxiao clearly saw him as the man she was going to marry.
After chatting for a while, Sun Xiaoxiao said, “I know your city was hit hard by the disaster. I sent Sun Xiaozhen to find you, and she’ll bring a billion as an investment there, but you don’t need to worry about the investment. Even if it incurs a loss, it doesn’t matter.”
Ji Yang hesitated for a moment before saying, “Chu Shuyuan also sent Chu Ning over, with a billion as well.”
“Miss Chu dispatched someone; that’s naturally a good thing. Fine, we’re giving you our funds; just do what you need to.” She knew about Ji Yang and Chu Shuyuan’s relationship and had no objections. She privately discussed it with Chu Shuyuan, who clearly stated that she wouldn’t officially marry Ji Yang but would be his woman, while Sun Xiaoxiao could marry him openly, as his legitimate wife, which reassured Sun Xiaoxiao greatly.
In the subsequent time, one call after another arrived, shockingly offering hundreds of billions in funds to aid him with disaster reconstruction. Everyone suggested not to fear losses, which surprised Ji Yang, realizing just how substantial his influence had become.
