Chapter 514: Surprise

The taxi arrived at the gate of the villa area in the new city, and the security guard stopped the taxi. Of course, not just any car could enter the villa area, so Li Yi paid the taxi driver and got off the car with his luggage. Read М

Before leaving, Wang Dong asked Li Yi to help bring some things back home, which was a small box. There were a few clothes bought for his wife and toys bought for the children. Li Yi did not open it to take a closer look, but just kept the small suitcase properly.

It was a handy thing, so Li Yi told Wang Dong not to worry about it. After all, Wang Dong was busy with Li Yi's affairs during this period. It was just to help Wang Dong bring back some things, and Li Yi would certainly not refuse.

After explaining his situation to the security guard, the security guard of course let him go immediately. After all, Li Yi's name was still very famous. Only Li Yi's family had moved recently. Who in the whole Jiangnan City didn't know Li Yi's current status? The security guard stopped countless sneaky people.

Li Yi followed the neat cement path to a villa complex. It was called a villa complex, but in fact, it was just a dozen villas, neatly arranged, a typical Dragon countryman's thinking. Before Li Yi traveled back, he had been abroad and seen villa complexes abroad, built on the mountain, very spectacular, but the problem was that the price was not high. Thirty years later, a villa abroad was only about 800,000 or 900,000, because living space abroad was not very precious.

But Li Yi didn't like foreign countries very much, mainly because the public security was too bad.

Following the path, he came to a gate with bluestone slabs as the ground of the yard. This was the newly bought house. It seemed that no one was at home at the moment, but Li Yi had the key, so he came to the house unimpeded.

Originally, I wanted to let Li Fengnian and his wife move in, after all, it would be more lively if a family lived together, but I didn't expect that Li Fengnian moved back with his wife after just a few days, because he was not used to living here and there was no one to chat with. Although Li Fengnian is still the deputy director of the cannery in Jiangnan City, he rarely goes to the factory.

Wei Kangan also found a good successor, and the two of them are ready to retire.

Of course, when I called before, I also said that I would give the positions of director and deputy director to Li Yi, but Li Yi did not agree, because he had enough things to do now, so I asked Wei Kangan and Li Fengnian to find a trustworthy person in the factory to take over the position.

The position of the factory director cannot be taken lightly, and when the factory heard the news, almost all the workshop directors and some other people with some foundation and reputation wanted to compete for the position of the factory director.

Apart from anything else, the old employees of the meat processing factory certainly knew how important the position of the factory director was.

So every now and then someone would come to the villa to give gifts to the deputy director Li Fengnian. Li Yi guessed that the reason why Li Fengnian moved away was most likely because he was afraid of disturbing Xu Qingnan's life.

So he just found a decent excuse and returned to the old house. The neighbors in the old house have been getting along for such a long time, and naturally they would not change anything because of the position of a deputy director.

And Wei Kangan often came over from time to time every three days to play chess with Li Fengnian, cool off under the big tree, and talk about everything.

Since Li Fengnian likes such a day, Li Yi certainly won't force anything. He sorted out the luggage on his body. Li Yi specially put the suitcase that Wang Dong asked him to bring back to his family in the closet.

The three-story villa is of course not as good as the place where Li Yi lived before he traveled back, but for Li Yi now, it is enough.

The villa complex in this area, even after thirty years, is considered the best and most sought-after place in the entire Jiangnan City.

Because a piece of wasteland not far away will be transformed into the largest commercial pedestrian street, Li Yi knew these inside stories, so he chose such a place.

There are not so many people on the wasteland opposite at this moment, and basically no one is looking at it, because it is too far from the current city center.

Little did they know that thirty years later, the current city center has become the old city, and the economic center will be transferred to the new city in the south. It is no exaggeration to describe it as every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

However, now that Lianhua Plaza is a gem in front of us, some of Li Yi’s ideas are not suitable to be brought out, such as buying this piece of wasteland and directly building a shopping center similar to Lianhua Plaza, and then renting out all the stores.

But now that Lianhua Plaza has been established, Li Yi does not intend to take this action before Wang Gaohua officially withdraws from the company. The reason is very simple. One is that the time has not come yet. According to Li Yi’s understanding, the government will consider officially setting up the economic center in the new city in three to five years. In the short term, it will definitely not be easy to act, because the shopping and entertainment center centered on Lianhua Plaza in the old city has just entered a steady development. At this moment, Li Yi bought this piece of wasteland, and it can only be shelved.

Another issue is personal relationships. Wang Gaohua has provided Li Yi with help in many aspects, and Li Yi himself is very grateful to Wang Gaohua. If it were not necessary, Li Yi would never set up a shopping mall of the same nature to disrupt Wang Gaohua's business while Wang Gaohua was still the chairman.

After tidying up the room, Li Yi was just about to go out to buy something when he ran into a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked unfamiliar, but he looked at Li Yi's villa in a sneaky way. Judging from the middle-aged man's dress, he didn't look like someone who lived in the villa complex. Li Yi frowned and asked:

"Are you looking for someone?"

The middle-aged man turned around and was about to leave, but Li Yi stepped forward and stopped him.

Only Xu Qingnan and the child lived in this villa. What if something went wrong? Li Yi naturally couldn't let the middle-aged man leave like this. At least he had to ask what happened and why the middle-aged man was here.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The middle-aged man said timidly: "I just heard that the deputy director is here... I came to give him a gift..."

Li Yi then noticed that the middle-aged man had two packs of cigarettes in his arms. They didn't look expensive, but for the middle-aged man's clothes, it should be a considerable expense, right?

Li Yi's vigilance was slightly lowered. Giving gifts was a normal thing, and it was no wonder that his father returned to the old house.
