Back to the 1980s: Transmigrated as the Bigshot's Pampered Wife-Chapter 110: Starting a Business from Infrastructure

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Starting a Business from Infrastructure

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t know Dong Lili, but she felt that Dong Lili definitely wouldn’t be interested in Sheng Shiwen.

From what she remembered, Sheng Shiwen had no other faults, but he spoiled his sister without any limits. A man like that was truly unmarriageable.

Sheng Shijing, on the other hand, was a man with a steel backbone and principles. Dong Lili had good taste.

Gu Jiaojiao recalled the original novel she had read. The one Sheng Shijing married wasn’t Dong Lili.

’Could it be that Sheng Shijing really doesn’t like Dong Lili?’

According to Dong Qiming, she, like Sheng Shiwu, was a college freshman, but the two of them weren’t at the same university.

Dong Lili went to the same university as Song Zijin. Both of them were studying business administration; Song Zijin was a junior, and Dong Lili was a freshman.

That being the case, Gu Jiaojiao had no way to gather news about Dong Lili. ’What a shame for such a good potential couple.’ 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Still, she and Su Shuochi were the lucky ones. Su Shuochi was fortunate in his lifetime to meet a beauty as lovely as a flower. A single glance felt like an eternity, and the years flew by like poetry.

When you saw me, it was like a spring breeze. When I met you, the flowers bloomed with ease.

Gu Jiaojiao was also fortunate. She met Su Shuochi in the height of summer, and as the season deepened, so did their understanding of each other. She understood the compassion in his heart and the depth of his love.

To meet one person in a lifetime, and have that one person by your side until the end. Every beautiful moment made her heart flutter, and every thought of him felt as fresh as the day they first met.

A storybook romance was beautiful, but she still had to study hard and fight to get into a good university.

In this era, the economy was just starting to take off. The most important things were technology, education, and talented people.

Technology needed talent, and education cultivated talent. From ancient times to the present, talented people have always been the foundation of a nation.

Su Shuochi, the man Gu Jiaojiao felt so lucky to have, was easily pulling a handcart. He hadn’t gone far before he ran into Houzi.

"Boss, I haven’t seen you or sister-in-law in three days! The rice and soap you gave me are all sold out."

As Houzi spoke, he deftly took the handcart from Su Shuochi. "Wow, this cart is amazing! It barely takes any effort to pull."

"That’s why I’m here, bringing you more," Su Shuochi said, glancing at the gesticulating Houzi.

"I knew you wouldn’t forget about me, Boss! Where’s sister-in-law?"

"She went back to school for class. Are there any problems with your father’s leg?"

When Su Shuochi spoke of his wife, the cold, hard look in his eyes softened considerably.

"Thanks for asking, Boss. Doctor Li at Tongji Hall said my dad’s leg is a miracle. He even mentioned several times that he wants to meet the Divine Doctor."

Houzi pulled the handcart, saying proudly, "I didn’t tell him sister-in-law’s name. I just said it was a young lady."

"Boss, do you know what Doctor Li thinks? He said a young lady like that must be an immortal."

"He believes there are people in this world more skilled than his master, but he refuses to believe anyone could be more skilled and younger than Divine Doctor Jiang."

"Next time he asks, just tell him: the Divine Doctor is Su Gu, she looks to be less than twenty, and she’s preparing to treat the Song family’s eldest grandson’s heart condition."

"What? Sister-in-law is going to treat one of the Songs? That Song family recently got their hands on a ton of high-quality rice from somewhere and has monopolized the market!"

Houzi said indignantly, stopping just short of telling his boss to have sister-in-law refuse to treat Song Zijie.

"We’re the ones who sold him the rice. Your sister-in-law said if you want to sell any, just get it from him and give the money directly to me. Our price to him is thirty-five cents. Don’t let it slip."

"Ah! Boss, sister-in-law is too good to me!" Houzi’s indignation instantly turned into deep gratitude.

"And I’m not good to you?" Su Shuochi asked coldly.

"You are, you are! Sister-in-law belongs to you, Boss. Without the boss, there’d be no sister-in-law!" Houzi truly had a knack for business.

"Don’t be so short-sighted, focusing only on a bit of rice and noodles. You should look into the construction industry."

"Qing City is under development, and the construction industry will have plenty of opportunities in the future. If you need capital, come to me."

"Okay. Which part of construction do you want to get into, Boss?" Houzi’s mind worked fast.

"Building materials and infrastructure labor. Don’t you have some friends? Bring any suitable ones to me."

Su Shuochi remembered his wife saying that real estate would be very profitable in the future. You could make a fortune just by buying and selling houses.

’In that case, I’ll start my business with infrastructure. Building my own houses should be more profitable than just buying and selling them, right?’

Urban development wasn’t just about building houses above ground; it also included all kinds of underground infrastructure, surface roads, and so on.

His wife had once complained to him that this era was nothing like the future.

There were some promising students from poor backgrounds. If they sponsored them through university, they could employ them after graduation.

Jiaojiao had said that the desire for knowledge in this era was at its peak. It was a time when all industries were waiting to flourish, and there was an extreme shortage of talent.

If you had even the slightest chance to get into a top-tier university, you were set for life. Students at top-tier universities didn’t have to pay tuition and even received a living stipend.

After graduation, not only would you get a job, but you would also be assigned housing by your work unit. They were the most stress-free generation of university students.

Moreover, many people chose to study abroad. Even a vocational school graduate was highly sought after.

But Su Shuochi knew that the university Sheng Shiwu attended was a third-rate one. The benefits weren’t as good as those at first or second-rate universities.

’I can go meet some students from the architecture department and find a few assistants. That should definitely work.’

After all, he was a man of status. Su Shuochi was a man of action. After giving the wild boar meat and soap to Houzi, he went to look at some courtyard houses.

He found a few suitable properties, and after waiting for his wife to make the final decision at noon tomorrow, he would go to Sheng Shiwu’s school.

Sheng Shiwu never dreamed his brother-in-law would come looking for him at school. When he heard someone was at the gate for him, he reluctantly headed over. From a distance, under the blazing sun, he saw Su Shuochi in his wheelchair.

"Bro—... Su... what are you doing here?" Sheng Shiwu didn’t know how to address his adoptive sister’s husband.

He remembered Second Brother Gu once secretly telling him that he didn’t dare call Su Shuochi "brother-in-law."

But he really was his brother-in-law, which made things so awkward that he always just ended up calling him "you."

At the time, he had dismissed it, thinking that if it were him, he would just call him "brother-in-law." But now, looking at Su Shuochi...

...his posture was solitary and ramrod straight, his features handsome and well-defined. Beneath his long eyebrows was a pair of chillingly clear eyes.

The words "brother-in-law" were stuck in his throat. Just as Second Brother Gu had said, he didn’t dare say it out loud either.

’If only he were my brother-in-law through my older sister, it would be so much better! I could just call him that without a problem!’

"Old Three, Jiaojiao asked me to come see you. Come on, take me to your school’s cafeteria for lunch."

"Okay!"

Sheng Shiwu was pleasantly surprised by Su Shuochi’s gentle attitude and cheerfully led him to the cafeteria.

On the way to the cafeteria, Su Shuochi got straight to the point, saying he wanted to find a few students from the architecture department to be his assistants.

Sheng Shiwu’s blood boiled with excitement upon hearing this. Because he sold snacks, he knew upperclassmen from various departments.

He knew upperclassmen from both poor and well-off families. When the upperclassmen in the architecture department heard that a disabled official was looking for assistants...

...they immediately started trying to get close to Sheng Shiwu. "Sheng Shiwu, we go way back! Is this a relative of yours?"

"Sheng, I didn’t know you well before, but I know you now! Can you ask your relative for me and see if I’d be a good fit?"

"Sheng, from now on, everyone in my department will buy their spicy strips from you. I’m the class monitor for Architecture, Class One," a student with delicate features introduced himself.

Sheng Shiwu really wanted to shout to everyone that this was his brother-in-law and make them all green with envy.

"Let’s eat first. To all the architecture students here today, order whatever you want. It’s on me."

Su Shuochi’s voice rang out, clear and bright like the striking of jade, a sound more beautiful than nature’s own music.
