Chapter 19 My Mom Was the Richest Woman in the 1980s
"Mayor, don't be fooled by this woman. She's an orphan who lost both her parents; everyone in this area knows that."
"But if you say she's a super-rich woman, people will laugh their heads off. Take the child support she paid to my son-in-law, for example—we don't even know where that came from."
Sun's mother was extremely excited, as if she wanted to prove something, and desperately sought the approval of the onlookers.
But everyone looked at the two important figures, the county magistrate and the mayor, and dared not reply.
Seeing the atmosphere, Si Yan pretended to faint and fell into Liu Sisi's arms.
This greatly frightened Liu Sisi and the mayor's entourage, who rushed them to the hospital, leaving behind the Sun family and Liu Jianguo and his wife, who looked terrified.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed Si Yan with a mild concussion and said she needed plenty of rest. The mayor and his entourage could only rest outside for a short while, leaving Liu Sisi alone to accompany Si Yan.
Looking at Si Yan lying pale on the hospital bed, Liu Sisi was heartbroken. If Si Yan hadn't been helping her get her things, her mother wouldn't have ended up like this.
System Xiaoqi was extremely anxious when she saw the happiness value box, which had been painstakingly increased, dropping.
[Host, that's enough. If you keep pretending, your daughter's happiness level is going to plummet.]
Si Yan's expression shifted slightly. She pretended to open her eyes casually. Seeing Si Yan wake up, Liu Sisi burst into tears of joy.
"Doctor, doctor, come quick! My mom's awake!"
The mayor and his entourage followed the doctor into the ward.
After a thorough examination, the doctor found nothing seriously wrong and just told me to rest more.
Hearing the doctor's words, Liu Sisi and the mayor's entourage breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade Si Yan, rest assured, we will handle this matter strictly and give you an explanation."
"Mr. Mayor, thank you for your trouble, but I have another request. I wonder if you have any objections?"
The mayor and his entourage suddenly tensed up, fearing that Si Yan might suddenly change her mind and not invest in Huai County.
"Oh, what is your request?"
The mayor pondered for a moment before speaking.
“Then I’ll be frank. Can we change the region we agreed on for investment? Of course, I won’t make things difficult for the government. I’ll double my investment amount.”
"As long as we don't invest in the area occupied by the Liu and Sun families, anything else is fine, how about it?"
Upon hearing this request, the mayor and his entourage breathed a sigh of relief.
"No problem, Comrade Si Yan. It wasn't finalized yet anyway. There are still many places in Huai County that can be developed, so choosing a new site is no problem at all."
Seeing this, Si Yan smiled and nodded. After reaching a consensus with the mayor and his entourage, the mayor and his group returned.
Si Yan was discharged from the hospital accompanied by Liu Sisi.
Since it was approaching evening, Si Yan had originally planned to take Liu Sisi directly to the villa she had bought in the city, but no one expected to encounter this situation.
Si Yan then went along with the plan and changed the original demolition site with the government, knowing that her money wasn't so easy to get.
It's getting dark now, so we can only stay in Huai County for one night and set off again the next day.
The development of Huai County as a whole is not very good. Only the hotel where Liu Sisi used to work is barely acceptable. No wonder the county magistrates of Huai County are so worried that Si Yan might change her mind.
Si Yan left a government official with her to handle some matters, and the three of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the hotel.
Before the three could react, a shrill female voice rang out.
"You, Liu Sisi, you wouldn't go when I asked you to accompany a big client. You're acting all high and mighty. What are you doing here dressed up like this in private?"
"Let me guess, she's on a date with this man next to her. He's dressed quite well, but he's nothing compared to Boss Wang, who's a big client of our hotel."
Liu Sisi blushed; she didn't want her mother to misunderstand.
"Liu Xiu, I'm here to stay at the hotel today. Next to me is my mother and her friend. I've decided to resign, so you don't need to bother arranging things for me anymore."
"Oh, so it's your mother. She looks ordinary. Why are you trying to act like a tycoon at the hotel before you quit your job? I advise you to take it easy and not overdo it."
Just then, the hotel manager accompanied Mr. Wang out.
As if he had seen something, Boss Wang's eyes lit up. He strode over to Si Yan and the other two, and excitedly stepped forward to shake hands with the man beside Si Yan.
"Secretary Lin, what brings you here? Does the county magistrate have any arrangements for you?"
Secretary Lin gave Boss Wang a meaningful look.
"So it's Boss Wang. You have quite the air about you. Even the county magistrate can't compare to you."
Mr. Wang looked terrified, not knowing what had happened or why Secretary Lin was treating him this way.
"Just now, the hotel manager in front of you openly asked the daughter of our county magistrate's important guest to drink with you. You really have a lot of influence."
Mr. Wang was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Secretary Lin, I didn't do that. You can't wrong me. Manager Liao, is this how your hotel treats its guests? You just arbitrarily accuse them."
"It was my mismanagement that caused the subordinates to misunderstand. Secretary Lin, it really has nothing to do with Boss Wang."
Manager Liao was sweating profusely. If he couldn't resolve this matter properly, he would lose his job and might even have to go to jail for a few years.
"Manager Liu, you're fired. Our hotel cannot tolerate people with moral flaws."
After saying that, Manager Liao waved for someone to quickly take Supervisor Liu away.
Then Supervisor Liao arranged for Si Yan and her daughter to stay in the best room.
Just when Manager Liao and Boss Wang thought the matter was over, Si Yan gave them a cryptic look.
On the surface, they did not take any action, but in reality, they had already had the system Xiao Qi cast a money-losing spell on them, and they would become penniless paupers in less than a month.
What pain could be worse than watching your wealth slip away helplessly?
After sleeping for one night, Si Yan and her daughter took a private car back to the city. Si Yan wanted to make it up to Liu Sisi, so she took her shopping for clothes.
Just then, Liu Sisi ran into Hu Ting, a former classmate of hers. Hu Ting told Liu Sisi that they were going to participate in an embroidery exhibition and asked if she wanted to go.
Hu Ting remembers that Liu Sisi was extremely obsessed with embroidery when she was in school.
"Of course I want to go. It's just that I don't have an invitation."
"It's okay, I have extra. Here, we're all old classmates, it's fate that we met. I'll give you one."
"Hu Ting, thank you."
Liu Sisi was overjoyed. Si Yan, who was standing to the side, looked at Liu Sisi's happy expression thoughtfully. Perhaps the opportunity for her to break through her happiness threshold was at this embroidery exhibition.
