Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

The next morning, after the two of them freshened up, "By the way, how's Xiao Jiang doing?"

"She's doing great. Here, take a look at this, it's a photo of them." Wei Kaiyun's tone had a hint of pride.

Old Yang looked at it and said, "Wow, this young girl is really spirited. Xiao Wei, I really envy you."

"If you're envious, just find one yourself."

Old Yang shook his head with a smile, "I don't want to cause trouble for anyone. Even you don't have the guts to openly acknowledge their identity, right?"

"No, I'm just sneaking around as if it's something shameful."

"You're doing the right thing, openly, and yet you can't come out in the open, let alone me. Forget it, I'll just love your daughter and son from afar."

Wei Kaiyun saw Old Yang off before heading to work. Life carried on as usual, but Wei Kaiyun became much more cautious, delegating many tasks to Ding Mingqiang.

The textile factory dormitory matter won the support of all the workers.

Ding Mingqiang was a sensible person; he explained it was Director Wei's idea. Thus, Wei Kaiyun's image improved even more within the textile factory.

The funds were gathered, and the Management Bureau called for the two directors to come over.

The two of them went by bike this time, and upon reaching the Management Bureau, several leaders were waiting for them.

"Xiao Wei, the commotion in your textile factory is a bit too much."

"Director, the housing pressure in our textile factory is too great, we had no choice but to do this.

Director, our report was submitted a long time ago and has already been approved." Wei Kaiyun said calmly.

"It has been approved, but your commotion is too great. Neighboring units and factories have all called us."

"Director, we followed the procedures.

Our actions have indeed attracted attention. The housing shortage is not unique to the textile industry."

"Xiao Wei, you're right."

"Director, we can also be seen as setting an example for them."

Zhu Peishan laughed heartily, "Yes, we are setting an example for them."

Wei Kaiyun and Ding Mingqiang both felt relieved. It meant that today wasn't too difficult after all.

"Xiao Wei, how much have you raised so far? Are you collecting according to the reported numbers?"

"Yes, we have two types of units, two-bedroom and three-bedroom. The two-bedroom costs eight hundred, the three-bedroom one thousand, with a fifty reduction per year of service.

Our Section Nine Director Lu Changhong with eleven years of service paid only four hundred and fifty for a three-bedroom."

"Good, good. I support you, but who is handling your construction?"

"Director Zhu, we've already signed a contract with the Second Construction Company, and we will start officially on September 1st."

The two of them left the Management Bureau after office hours in the evening.

"Director Wei, why don't you come and have dinner at my place?"

Wei Kaiyun shook his head with a laugh, "No, I'm going back to rest. If every day is like this, I suppose I won't even be able to eat. Director Ding, I'm heading back to the factory."

Wei Kaiyun initially thought it was a minor episode but received a call from He Jian Country the next day, "Meet at the restaurant tonight."

"Alright, I'll be there tonight." Wei Kaiyun understood in his heart. This was definitely about the family housing issue.

He originally intended to take a hands-off approach, but it seemed that wasn't possible now.

Lunch was ordered by Lu Weiqi.

"Director Wei, don't you want a house?"

"Yes, reserve me a three-bedroom. How about you?"

"I also want a three-bedroom, but I've only worked for three years, so it'll cost me eight hundred and fifty."

"If it's not enough, I've got you covered."

"Thanks, Director Wei. My family managed to gather five hundred, and I can cover the rest myself."

After they finished lunch, Tian Mingyan came over.

"Director Wei, I also want a family housing unit."

Wei Kaiyun nodded, "You can. Since you're single now, you qualify for a house."

Tian Mingyan nodded and left. She had money in hand but had never shown it. Jia Xingzhi had asked her, but she brushed it off. Luckily, she hadn't revealed it, otherwise, she would have lost everything.

Tian Mingyan went to the union and registered for a two-bedroom.

"Mr. Tian, you don't meet the requirements."

"Mr. Wu, I specifically asked Director Wei, and the Director said that since I'm single, I meet the criteria."

"Then please wait a moment, I'll go ask our supervisor."

The clerk soon returned, "You can proceed, Mr. Tian. Have you decided which type of unit you want?"

"Any building is fine; I want a two-bedroom. I have five years of service, so I only need to pay five hundred and fifty, right?"

"Mr. Tian, we'll issue a certificate here. You can pay at the finance department."

Tian Mingyan took the certificate and went excitedly to the finance office.

She looked at the receipt in her hand. The gloom of the past two years finally dissipated. No matter what, she now had a home of her own.

Before the evening shift ended, Jia Xingzhi found out about Tian Mingyan buying a house.

This woman, huh. She wouldn't take money out when I asked before; but after the divorce, she spends a lot to buy a house.

Jia Xingzhi felt quite indignant. But since they were now divorced, he couldn't do much about it; confronting her would only tarnish his own reputation even further.

He had to think of a way; he wanted to live in a proper building, too. Having worked for eight years, a two-bedroom would still cost four hundred; he had the money but was reluctant to spend it.

Jia Xingzhi thought he should go find that woman. She should pay for it; he couldn't just let the two years he spent with her be in vain.

With that thought, he had an idea.

He asked his team leader for leave to go find Tian Mingyan.

"You left something at home. You should come and get it today."

Tian Mingyan smiled coldly in her heart, "Just throw it away." Then she continued with her work.

Jia Xingzhi was quite annoyed, thinking this couldn't do. He missed having a woman around and needed to get her to come with him somehow.

"You're really not going to get it? If I throw it away, you'll regret it. Haven't you noticed your underwear is missing?"

Tian Mingyan immediately recalled that those undergarments were cut by Jia Xingzhi with scissors, deliberately thrown away when she packed her things, so how could they be with him?

Initially, she didn't want them, but remembering Jia Xingzhi's shamelessness, she finally nodded.

After work, Tian Mingyan went to the cafeteria for dinner before heading directly to Jia Xingzhi's home.

"Hey, this was once your home too. Why so unfamiliar with it now?"

"Stop with the nonsense. Where are my things?" She was prepared with matches, ready to set things alight if needed.

"I've made food. Want to eat something together?"

"I don't have time. Where are my things? If you don't tell me, I'm leaving, and you can do whatever you want with them."

Jia Xingzhi saw her about to turn and leave. This wouldn't do. He grabbed her arm. "Don't go, we're still a married couple."

"Sorry, we're divorced now. If you try anything, I'll report you."
