Guide to Divorce in Wealthy Families

Chapter5

Although Qin Chengshan was a businessman, his reputation in the industry had always been very good.

First, he had unique vision. In nearly thirty years of engaging in the real estate industry, he had created many highly reputed real estate projects. Several of them were benchmarks in the industry. In the past few years, the four words "Qinyuan Group" were like a golden sign, meaning good quality and high appreciation potential. Even if the price was higher than that of surrounding real estate projects, people would still give priority to buying it.

Second, his business style was relatively moderate. He believed in making money through harmony. Even in business competitions, he wouldn't push his opponents to a dead end. Coupled with his usual participation in some charity projects, he had good relationships both within and outside the industry.

This was the first time Qin Chun had heard someone curse Qin Chengshan. Her blood rushed up and her fingers couldn't help trembling. She had to hold onto the handrail to avoid losing her composure.

Emotionally, she couldn't accept someone insulting her father. But rationally, she understood that an ordinary person had spent a large sum of money to buy a house in Taohuayuan Di. As a result, all the exaggerated plans from before had fallen through. The house's depreciation had almost become an established fact. How could one not be angry?

"You should be secretly happy," the driver took over the conversation. "At least you got the house. It is said that the second phase over there has stopped construction. It's not certain whether the houses can be delivered."

"True," the uncle was a bit scared. "If we can't get the house, we will all have to go to the top floor of Qinyuan Group and jump off."

...

The uncle and the driver talked back and forth. From Taohuayuan Town to the current wave of mortgage defaults, they cursed capitalists like Qinyuan Group thoroughly.

Qin Chun listened in silence for a while. Suddenly, she asked, "Uncle, listening to you, this community now seems to have no redeeming qualities. You also have a place to live in the urban area. Why do you still live in this remote corner?"

The uncle chuckled. "It's not completely without merits. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. You'll know when you arrive. It's at least four or five degrees different from outside. We are old and like warmer places. The scenery is also beautiful. We come here to take care of our health in winter."

"Actually, this place is really a treasure land," the driver sighed. "Backed by mountains and facing the sea. It's always calm no matter when. The person who chose this place really had good vision. The plan is also good. It's just that it wasn't developed with care. What a pity."

"I heard that Qin Chengshan is no longer alive?" The uncle continued to gossip. "A new emperor ascends the throne and new officials are appointed. No wonder. It's us who have been cheated to death by him."

...

The bus swayed and finally arrived at its destination after about half an hour.

Taohuayuan Town was a fan-shaped peninsula. An east-west arc-shaped mountain range separated the peninsula from the mainland into two parts, forming a small bay. To the south was the endless sea. Along the coastline, there were several kilometers of white sandy beaches. It was a unique place.

The most surprising thing was that the sea water here was clear. Less than ten nautical miles from the coastline, there were six large and small islands that could be developed into luxurious vacation projects.

At that time, the design team invited to plan a general plan of "Six Stars Accompanying the Moon" based on these unique terrains. As the "moon" at the center of the project, high-end vacation communities and villas were built on both sides of the peninsula, equipped with facilities such as shopping malls, amusement parks, and coastal food plazas. The "six stars" were several nearby islands, respectively creating luxurious island vacations, marine parks, and jungle adventures. They were connected to each other through piers or seaplanes.

The initial idea of "Six Stars Accompanying the Moon" was put forward by Qin Chun.

The plan was perfect, but the reality was too harsh.

Looking ahead from the bus stop, the left side of the peninsula was almost deserted. The exposed steel and cement of the second phase of Taohuayuan Di, which was half-built, looked a bit hideous. It formed a sharp contrast with the lush greenery of the first phase on the right.

Qin Chun walked slowly along the road, looking around as she walked. It took about two hours to walk around half of the peninsula. Finally, she went up the small hill behind the second phase and sat on a rock to eat the instant lunch she had brought today.

"What are you doing here?" A voice sounded behind her.

Qin Chun turned around and saw that it was actually Xiao Mai from He'an Construction.

"Just taking a stroll and understanding the situation," Qin Chun said casually. "Why are you still here?"

"I have nowhere to go. I don't dare to go back to my hometown without money. Other construction sites are almost all shut down. Here at least there is a free work shed to live in," Xiao Mai walked up to her and glanced at what she had brought to eat. His eyes were complicated. "Why, is the daughter of a capitalist just eating dry bread and drinking mineral water?"

"Isn't it because we owe you money?" Qin Chun took a bite of the bread calmly. "We can save a little if we can."

Xiao Mai sat down beside her. His expression was complicated. "Why are you still here? Didn't you all want to give up this project? Many workers and owners of the first phase here are all very angry with your company. Be careful not to be implicated."

"Thanks for the reminder," Qin Chun smiled. "But who said we are giving up?"

Xiao Mai was stunned. He stared at her for a while and then burst out laughing. "Miss Qin, now it's just the two of us in this wilderness. There are no media, no audience, no executives and employees of your company. Are you still pretending? Look here. The second phase here has been shut down for three months. It was originally supposed to be delivered by the middle of next year. Now it will definitely be delayed. There is no movement at all for the light rail, island development, and supporting facilities. Who are you telling me is not giving up? That day in front of your company, you firmly said that you would solve our salary problem. I had a higher opinion of you. Now, speaking lies with your eyes open is really not very nice."

Qin Chun turned her head and looked at him steadily.

This young man named Xiao Mai was quite handsome. Tall and handsome, with bright eyes and bushy eyebrows. Perhaps because he had been on the construction site for a long time, his skin was a healthy wheat color. He didn't look like a construction worker but rather like a fashion model.

"You like this project very much?" Qin Chun quietly interrupted his impassioned accusation.

Xiao Mai stopped talking. After a moment of silence, he suddenly seemed like a deflated balloon. He hugged his head and smiled self-deprecatingly. "You saw through me. Yes, I like this place very much. I have seen the sand table at the sales office. They said that you personally participated in the planning. The name 'Six Stars Accompanying the Moon' is just so beautiful to think about. I have been working on this project for more than three years. Starting from the first scoop of soil for that cornerstone. I am familiar with every plant and tree here. I also rented a boat and went to those small islands. I was thinking about how to start if the work began. I even thought that if I had enough money after working these few years, I wouldn't go back to my hometown to build a house. I would spend a down payment and buy a small apartment here. But... "

But it was all in vain.

The

project was half done. The money wasn't received. All the hard work was in vain.

Both of them were silent.

After a while, Qin Chun raised her face. The sunlight of the small town fell on her face, bringing warmth and dispelling the cold of winter. As if wanting to draw energy, she took a deep breath and turned her head to meet Xiao Mai's gaze. Sincerely, she said, "I'm sorry."
