CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 172 INDUSTRIAL PARK

"Gu Yi, did Yitian tell you that you have new ideas for the land in the east of the city?"

After sitting down, Liang Yesheng asked with a smile.

"Isn’t it true that the land has been sitting there and feels a bit wasted? Plus, they’re building roads over there, and once the roads are open, it will generate significant benefits."

While Gu Yi spoke, Liang Yesheng listened and nodded. In fact, he had predicted this as well.

However, there were many uncertain factors, so he originally thought of waiting a bit longer.

"So how do you think we should utilize that piece of land now?"

Liang Yesheng wanted to hear Gu Yi’s opinion.

Li Yitian also turned his head to look at Gu Yi.

"I think we can consider setting up an industrial park there."

Liang Yesheng and Li Yitian were stunned after hearing Gu Yi’s words.

They understood "industrial" and they understood "park," but they couldn’t quite grasp the concept when put together.

"Many enterprises in B City have good development potential, but the city area is too small. If they want to expand their production plants, land approval is difficult. Why don’t we establish a park close to the city, specifically to provide space for those in need? We can charge them rent."

Seeing that they didn’t quite understand, Gu Yi carefully explained.

Although rent isn’t the biggest investment return, with their current capabilities, it’s not realistic to utilize the entire land.

There are many smart people around, and if that piece of land remains unused, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

Gu Yi’s initial purchase of the land was actually to stockpile it.

If some people were to scrutinize carefully, they would realize that Gu Yi seems to know the development of events.

It wouldn’t be good to stir up other issues then.

"That’s a good idea. I can also move the Good Taste business there."

After listening, Liang Yesheng pondered over it carefully.

He felt that Gu Yi’s idea was indeed quite brilliant.

Not only did it make use of the land, but it also brought more traffic to their area.

The more Liang Yesheng thought about it, the more he found Gu Yi to be somewhat enigmatic.

Many times, Gu Yi’s suggestions gave him an enlightening feeling.

Both Liang Yesheng and Li Yitian were natural businessmen. Gu Yi provided a starting point.

They were already thinking about how to operate and revitalize that piece of land as quickly as possible.

He and Li Yitian began discussing the future operational model and direction one line at a time.

Gu Yi quietly enjoyed her food on the side.

It felt great. She only needed to ignite the spark.

Afterward, she would wait for them to share the fruits of victory with her.

Li Yitian understood why Gu Yi wanted to place their clothing production base there.

Even if they couldn’t start the factory immediately now.

The land definitely needed to be reserved first.

He had a strong premonition that once the park was built, it would become a new favorite for some.

Li Yitian quickly sent Gu Yi’s design drawings to the factory the next day.

He told the boss to quickly make a few sample garments first.

He would come to pick them up in a couple of days.

The boss saw his urgency and hurriedly instructed the pattern master to make the editions and get his items done first.

Gu Yi and Li Yitian discussed handing over all operations of that land to Liang Yesheng.

After returning, Liang Yesheng promptly assigned the work tasks.

He appointed Yang Lin as the general manager for this task and also assigned a few capable assistants to him.

Gu Yi continued her daily routine of going to school and coming back.

However, during her free time, she was drawing design sketches.

She felt her skill level still needed improvement, so she practiced more regularly.

On Wednesday evening, Ye Hao called to say he was going on a mission that night.

"Why are you only telling me now? If you had told me earlier, I would have taken leave today to go over."

Although Gu Yi was mentally prepared, she still wanted to see him off in person like last time.

"I just got the notice; it wasn’t confirmed before. No worries, I’ll see you when I get back."

Ye Hao knew Gu Yi was upset.

Although Gu Yi had come to B City, they still had limited time together.

Usually, they could only meet on weekends.

Moreover, Gu Yi had stopped taking the medicine for conditioning her body, and she had put having a baby on the agenda.

Who knew that he would have to leave at this time?

Ye Hao tried to soothe her emotions as much as he could.

Gu Yi was somewhat upset, but with Ye Family’s parents and Ye Qian around, she tried to hold back and not show it.

"Okay, I’ve put some common medication in your backpack. Look at the instructions when you have a chance, and take care of yourself out there. I’ll be waiting for you at home. Dad and Mom are here, talk to them."

Afraid she might cry if she continued, Gu Yi quickly handed the phone to Ye Fu.

"Hao Hao, safeguarding the nation is your duty. Do it well, but be sure to stay safe."

Although a bit worried, Ye Fu thought this was Ye Hao’s soldierly duty and wasn’t too saddened.

Gu Yi couldn’t hear what Ye Hao was saying on the other side, only hearing Ye Fu speaking on the phone.

"Alright, don’t worry about things at home. Make sure to complete the task beautifully."

After Ye Fu spoke, he nodded and passed the phone to Ye’s mother.

"Hao, you must stay safe."

Ye’s mother said this as soon as she got the phone.

A mother worries when her child travels far, especially when Ye Hao is out there engaging in real combat.

After instructing for a while, Ye’s mother finally hung up the call.

"Alright, Hao Hao is just going on a mission. He’ll be back in some time, so don’t worry too much."

Ye Fu, seeing everyone’s mood was quite low, quickly spoke to lighten the atmosphere.

"Yes, Mom, it’s okay. Ye Hao mentioned it to me; it’s not dangerous, so don’t worry."

Seeing Ye’s mother’s expression, Gu Yi also comforted her.

"Originally, I thought once Qianqian’s shop finished renovations and Hao Hao was in the military, we could pick a weekend to open it. He’d come with us, and our whole family could have some time together. But now he’s gone again; it feels a bit off."

Ye’s mother had it all planned out.

Originally, when Gu Yi’s breakfast shop opened or later when Ye Qian’s cake shop opened, Ye Hao hadn’t participated.

This time, being so close, she thought he could finally share in the family’s joy firsthand, but unexpectedly, he had to go out again.

"Mom, it’s fine. Maybe my store will open when my brother returns. Aren’t we still going home to bring the machines over? It will take some time."

Ye Qian said quickly.

"Right. By the way, how are things between you and Sun Ming?"

Ye’s mother asked upon hearing Ye Qian speak.

"We’re doing fine."

Ye Qian said with a slight embarrassment.

With her mind at ease, Ye Qian’s progress with Sun Ming suddenly sped up.

"I think Sun Ming is a good kid. When your brother returns from his mission, let him come home for a meal."

It’s as if Ye’s mother had thought it all out long ago.

Originally, she planned that once Ye Qian’s shop opened, she would find an opportunity to have Ye Qian bring Sun Ming home.

Although she often saw Sun Ming at the store, he still hadn’t formally visited.

Ye’s mother was a bit anxious.

"Okay, I’ll do whatever you say."

Ye Qian sat next to Ye’s mother, held her arm, and said with a smile.
