The night was cold, so Gu Qingchen and Rong Yu hugged each other all night long!

The next day, Gu Qingchen went to her building in Yuanxi Development Zone during school recess. It was empty now. Xiang Yang was watching over it, doing some interior renovations.

!!
Rong Yu and Gu Qingchen went out together early in the morning, and Gu Qingchen did not ask him where he was going. They did not interfere with each other’s work.

When they reached the building, Xiang Yang came out with a dusty face. Gu Qingchen was stunned for a moment. “What are you doing? Did you fall into the mud?”

Xiang Yang was a little embarrassed. He quickly patted his body a few times, causing a cloud of dust to rise. Instead, it was dirtier. Xiang Yang quickly stopped. “Qingchen, did you choke?”

Xiang Yan was a mess. His body was covered in dust. He kept patting his body, and more dust spread into the air.

Gu Qingchen shook her head. She looked at Xiang Yang carefully and asked again, “What’s wrong with you?”

Why was he covered in mud and dust during the renovation? He did not even need to do it himself.

Xiang Yang paused for a moment. His expression was a little unnatural. He forced a stiff smile and said, “It’s the renovation, and it gets a bit messy here. It’s okay. I’ll wash up later. Qingchen, why don’t you leave first? It’s filthy inside, and the air is not good.”

“No! I have to stop Qingchen, or she’ll know. The people working inside are all our brothers and friends who were hired at the last minute. I can’t let Qingchen know we can’t find a renovation team.”

Gu Qingchen saw that Xiang Yang’s expression was not right, so she read his mind. In the end, she was also slightly stunned.

She did not expect that they would not be able to hire a renovation team!

How was this possible? It was not the peak season for renovation, and the wages they paid were not low. There should be many people fighting for it. How could no one be willing to come?

“Xiang Yang, I gave this place to you because I trust you. I did not ask you to hide anything from me. No matter what the reason is, I only listen to the truth. Do you understand?”

Gu Qingchen spoke seriously. She had to let Xiang Yang know the importance of being honest with her.

Although Gu Qingchen could understand Xiang Yang did this for the best reason and did not want her to worry, she was the master of this place.

She had to know everything.

Xiang Yang’s face instantly turned red. Such an old man blushed in front of a young lady.

However, Xiang Yang realized his mistake and immediately confessed, “Qingchen, I did not mean to hide it from you. It’s just…”

Xiang Yang was still a little embarrassed to say it. He was a senior, yet he could not find a renovation team. It was really too embarrassing.

“Tell me. What’s going on?”

Xiang Yang took a deep breath and told Gu Qingchen about the matter.

“It was easy to find a renovation team this season. We contacted a few renovation teams, and they agreed to work with us. But for some reason, they went back on their word overnight. Because we didn’t sign the contract, we couldn’t do anything to them. Little Bean and I quickly contacted more renovation teams. But when they heard that it was our building that needed renovation, they refused to come over.”

It also made Little Bean quite angry. He almost fought with those people, but still, no one was willing to come.

After that, they went to a few more streets to look for people, but the results were the same. No one was willing to come even though they offered more money.

It was as if all renovation decided not to work with them.

Gu Qingchen frowned slightly. She felt this situation was abnormal, and someone must have done something.

“Don’t tell me you and your brothers were the only ones who started renovating.”

Gu Qingchen looked at the mud and soil on Xiang Yang’s body. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

Xiang Yang nodded a little embarrassedly, “We have also done renovations before. Although we are not the top figures in the industry, we know what we should do. However, we don’t have enough manpower. We might not be able to finish it so quickly.”

Xiang Yang and the rest had been in all kinds of industries before. They did whatever they could to earn money. Otherwise, they would not have been bribed by Shi Tian and kidnapped other people.

“Have you investigated what’s going on? If it is not man-made, those renovation workers would not say no to the money.”

Gu Qingchen could not always work on her own. She wanted to expand her business into different industries. If this situation continued, wouldn’t she exhaust herself to death?

Therefore, she still had to know how to use people.

Xiang Yang put on a serious expression and said, “We had asked around. Although they were unwilling to say, I still heard some news. It seemed someone had ordered them not to take on this job. Someone is also controlling the renovation and real estate industry in City Y. We don’t know who we have offended to get us banned in this area.”

Xiang Yang felt a little helpless. They had always kept a low profile. Why would anyone target them?

“Moreover, the most infuriating thing is people say that our building is unlucky and the feng shui is bad. Whoever renovates our building will be unlucky. They say that someone died during the construction of this building.”

Although Xiang Yang did not want to tell Gu Qingchen such a terrible thing, Gu Qingchen told him to be honest and report everything he knew.

When Gu Qingchen heard that, she was not as shocked as Xiang Yang had imagined. Instead, she sneered and said, “People have died? Hehe, which construction site hasn’t? I don’t think this has anything to do with feng shui. Someone must be behind this. Do you know who warned the others not to work with us?”

Xiang Yang shook his head, “I don’t know yet. We can’t find the time to investigate for the time being. We’re all focused on the renovation.”

Gu Qingchen had said before that after the renovation, they would start to deal with the land that had been taken back from the Yuanxi Development Zone.

It meant that their path of entrepreneurship was about to begin.

Not only was Gu Qingchen excited, but even Xiang Yang, Wen Qing, and Little Bean had also been looking forward to it. They all wanted to finish the renovation as soon as possible.

Gu Qingchen touched her chin and said, “Change your clothes and go to the renovation market with me. I want to ask the renovation workers personally.”

Xiang Yang quickly changed into a set of clean clothes and drove Gu Qingchen straight to the renovation street.

When they reached here, they saw many renovation workers squatting on the side of the road with various signs in their hands.

There were many people, which meant it was not easy to find work during this season.

Hehe, the renovation workers needed to take on a job to earn money. However, they rejected Gu Qingchen’s generous offer. It seemed that they were afraid of some people.

“Get out of the car and ask.” Gu Qingchen got out of the car first, and Xiang Yang hurriedly followed her.

Gu Qingchen had just walked to a renovation worker when that person said with a smile, “Miss, are you looking for a renovation team? I’m all-rounded, and we have a professional team. You’ll definitely be satisfied with our work!”
