Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Ascending to High Positions with Ease

“Mom, haven’t you been watching the news lately?” Jiang Fanyue was afraid she knew, but even more frightened that she might learn about it from other sources and change her opinion of Jiang Zhe.

“I haven’t had ti lately, do you know the person your grand-uncle has been looking for? He’s found him!”

“You an Grandpa has been found?”

Jiang Fanyue also couldn’t help but feel delighted.

Liang Jinlan asked her to sit down before she continued, “Yes. Your renowned grandpa, Jiang Shao, holds vast deeds to land in Xicheng, has considerable wealth of his own, and is a capable man. His return will greatly strengthen your grand-uncle. Did you know? Your grand-uncle has even invited us to a banquet to welco Grandpa.”

“Really!” The joy Jiang Fanyue felt was no small matter.

Such a big event would naturally diminish the impact of what happened with Jiang Zhe and would greatly benefit her as well.

The Jiang Family was already influential enough; with such a grandpa added to the mix…

No wonder Liang Jinlan hadn’t been paying attention to the latest breaking news.

“Get yourself ready. This ti, you must win over Grandpa’s favor first.”

At the Jiang Family ho.

Upon receiving the news, he was overjoyed, “Your grand-uncle has already called , saying he will directly bring out the land deeds. The piece of land in Xicheng that has been idle can finally be developed.”

Wen Xia was particularly elated, “So when he brings out the land deeds, the compensation from the state will be quite a hefty sum, right?”

That was a piece of land to be asured in square kiloters!

Just thinking of that number made Wen Xia dizzy.

“You really think like a narrow-minded woman!” Although Jian Xiliang’s reproach was ant to be critical, he couldn’t hide the pleasure in his voice due to his good mood, “Money is one thing, but more importantly, once Xicheng can be developed and since it’s land from our Jiang Family, I can strive for the right to be in charge of that area. Handling this matter well would be the most impressive and brilliant achievent in my political career!”

Skyrocketing to glory was well within reach!

Wen Xia’s face lit up with happiness, “That’s fantastic. After all these years of your ambitious struggle, you’ve been at this position long enough. Not to say you don’t deserve it, but you should have been promoted long ago. Now that such a good opportunity has arisen, couldn’t this an a promotion by three ranks? When that ti cos, shouldn’t we consider moving to Beijing?”

“The prospect of living in Beijing as you wish is not far off,” mused Jian Xiliang, who normally would not dare to contemplate such vast ambitions.

But today, he couldn’t help but sche.

It had been a long ti since the couple had encountered such joyful news.

“By the way, your grand-uncle has been out of touch for so long, where has he been living all these years? Do we even know if there’s anyone still at ho? When he left, didn’t he have family with him? His eldest son got married into a family in Beijing, and we haven’t been in touch for many years. He also has a younger son and a daughter, so when he returns with all his wealth…”

Wen Xia’s concerns were not unfounded.

If their grand-uncle still had family around, then the share coming their way would surely be limited.

How to divide it was an issue.

“I don’t really care about the money. As for the right to develop Xicheng, that should be mine without question,” said Jian Xiliang. “As for my grand-uncle’s children, I haven’t seen any of them amount to much. And those who left with him, if any of them were truly outstanding, I would have known by now.”

Wen Xia was reassured with that, as long as no one fought with her husband for power.

It was futile to be greedy about the financial aspect.

“Alright, I’m relieved then. At the welco banquet, I’ll invite Jiang Zhang and his family too,” Wen Xia said, “Nowadays, Jiang Zhang’s family is considered to be on our side. The more people we have, the better.”

Since the goal was to win over Jiang Fanyue and the Gu Family, including Jiang Zhang’s family didn’t matter.

Jian Xiliang had no objections to that.

Wen Xia continued, “That Jiang Zhe, I really don’t see much in him. Jiang Yunxuan was so severely injured, and she never even showed up to visit him once. Although Jiang Zhang may have played a part in that, but still, Yunxuan is her brother! She’s truly heartless!”

…

Wen Xia was right; their grand-uncle Jiang Shao, when he left back then, had a son, Jiang Cheng, who had just gotten married.

Jiang Shao was too busy with other matters to pay much attention to Jiang Cheng, so Jiang Cheng managed his own marriage.

Jiang Cheng married into a family in Beijing, and after Jiang Shao left, he rarely returned, having very little contact with Jian Xiliang.

Now that Jiang Shao was making an appearance, Jiang Cheng was planning to visit his father.

His wife, however, was not very keen on the idea: “When your mother passed away, your father took your siblings and disappeared without a trace. He abandoned the family business and threw away his reputation and status, and he never cared about your wellbeing. And now you want to see him?”

“He is, after all, my father who raised .”

“What kind of father is that? Go if you want, but I’m not going.”

Jiang Cheng’s wife, Ding Yuehua, was the only daughter of the Ding Family, and at one ti was a well-known household in Beijing. Now, her reputation was esteed, and she supported Jiang Cheng’s rise to a mid-to-high-level position.

Ding Yuehua was initially happy that her husband’s side had no burdens, and naturally, she was not pleased to hear about his father’s return.

“Yuehua, do you know why my father is coming back?” Jiang Cheng asked.

“How would I know?” Ding Yuehua didn’t care and wasn’t interested.

“Our Jiang Family used to be prominent in Jincheng, with a resounding reputation. Apart from my dad’s achievents, we also owned ancestral land that has been in the family for many years. Now that there are plans to develop that region in Jincheng, they need my dad to release those land deeds.”

Ding Yuehua was moved, “How much is there?”

“Enough to build a new city,” Jiang Cheng claid.

Even Ding Yuehua, used to grand affairs, couldn’t help being astonished and felt swayed.

While Jiang Cheng had his own designs on the family possessions, the thought of seeing his father was burning even more fiercely now. Seeing his wife changing her stance, he said, “You see, how could I not go back for that?”

“Of course, you have to. Constructing a new city isn’t just about a little bit of land. It also involves securing the rights to build and manage…” The Ding Family rose to prominence through the developnt of a new city in one of Beijing’s suburban areas, and since then, their rise has been teoric.

Ding Yuehua, aware of her father’s ascension path, knew the stakes involved.

She kissed her husband, “Why did you never ntion these things before?”
