Chapter 286: [285] The Book of a Marriage Fate Weighing Over a Thousand Jin, Feeding into the Mouth, the Renowned Qian Huichang

Five minutes later.

Qian Qingqing, with an anxious heart, walked into the principal's office.

By the way.

The former principal, Yan Shan, was discovered to be the dream master and died at the hands of Cheng Han. The vice principal, Yan Dongting, successfully took over and assumed the position of the principal.

Just as she entered the room.

Qian Qingqing immediately noticed that the city's chief magistrate, "Yu Wei," and the school principal were both standing up.

Yan Dongting greeted her with a smile, "Miss Qingqing!"

The chief magistrate also greeted her with a smile, "Miss Qingqing, good morning!"

In the midst of confusion, the young girl's mind finally came up with a thought: Am I considered an important person now?

She couldn't help but think of more things.

On the day she signed the Book of Marriage Fate, her mother immediately spent a lot of money to have it framed and hung it prominently in the second-floor hall.

Her father's reaction was even more exaggerated. He stared at the Book of Marriage Fate for an hour that day, and then would go to the second-floor hall for a stroll whenever he had nothing to do.

One time, her younger brother Qian Changyun tried to touch the framed mirror frame with his hand, but he happened to be bumped into by their father, who sternly scolded him.

In that instant.

The young girl truly realized that the book, the size of a book, seemed light and fluttering, but in reality, it was extremely heavy.

Its weight could definitely be described with one word - weighing over a thousand jin.

After a simple exchange of pleasantries.

Yu Wei immediately explained the purpose, "Yesterday, Qinghan Xuan Palace issued an edict to build a crystal energy rail system in Tai'an, connecting the three cities in our spiritual realm."

The chief magistrate's female secretary quickly took out a scroll and unfolded it on the desk.

Yu Wei pointed to the scroll, excitedly saying, "Miss Qingqing, this is the introduction and preliminary plan of the crystal energy rail system."

Qian Qingqing looked surprised, "I heard about the rail system from an elder. It's a very convenient and fast means of transportation."

The "elder" she mentioned was Lin Xuebin, who studied ancient history.

This gentleman had traveled to some small spiritual realms in his earlier years as a scholar and had also stayed in Xuan Palace, naturally experiencing the rail system.

She also knew that building a rail system in a small spiritual realm would require at least five hundred thousand gold coins, along with a series of supporting facilities.

Apart from Xuan Palace, none of the more than one hundred small spiritual realms under Xuan Palace could afford such a huge expense.

At the same time.

The young girl was completely confused.

The rail system is indeed a good thing, but I'm just a middle school student. Why did the chief magistrate come to the school and tell me about this?

Qian Qingqing immediately realized and blurted out, "Your Excellency, could it be that the edict from Xuan Palace is related to Cheng Han?"

Yu Wei smiled and said, "Exactly!"

Yan Dongting quickly seized the opportunity to interject, "Miss Qingqing, Cheng Xuan's name is explicitly mentioned in the edict from Xuan Palace."

Yu Wei immediately took over the conversation, "Xuan Palace also mentioned that they are willing to build the rail system for Tai'an's small spiritual realm and allocate seventy percent of the construction funds."

The young girl was stunned.

Even with just a little bit of thinking, it was clear that he must have done something to win the favor of the palace master. Otherwise, why would the palace master, who had nothing better to do, build a rail system for Tai'an's small spiritual realm?

Qian Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "What did Cheng Han do in Xuan Palace?"

Yu Wei shook her head, "I don't know! The edict did not specify this, and I asked Xuan Ge, but he is also unclear about the reason."

The young girl said, "Oh," becoming even more puzzled.

Yu Wei turned her head and gestured to the female secretary, "Bring it out."

The female secretary quickly took out a document and handed it to her superior with both hands.

Yu Wei opened the document and smiled, "Miss Qingqing, without Cheng Xuan, there would be no rail system in Tai'an's small spiritual realm."

The female magistrate glanced at the document and continued, "According to preliminary calculations, the total cost of the project is estimated to be seven hundred forty-eight thousand four hundred gold coins."

"Based on this calculation, Tai'an's small spiritual realm needs to raise two hundred twenty-five thousand gold coins on its own, and each of the three cities will share over seventy thousand gold coins."

Qian Qingqing became even more confused as she listened.

What is the chief magistrate planning to do?

Yan Wei smiled and said, "After much discussion, we have decided that Miss Qingqing can occupy a 20% stake as long as she contributes 5,000 gold coins."

She added, "This matter has been reported to the Xuan Pavilion, and the Pavilion Master personally gave instructions and approved this plan."

The young girl was dumbfounded again.

At this point, how could she not understand that this was clearly the city's political council coming to her door to give her money?

A mere 5,000 gold coins could only be considered a symbolic contribution, but it would grant her a 20% stake. What else could this be if not giving money?

It wasn't a small sum of money.

It was a huge fortune.

Yan Wei handed over the documents and her smile deepened. "Miss Qingqing, please sign!"

Yan Dongting seized another opportunity to get close. "Miss Qingqing, please use this pen."

Qian Qingqing took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, and took the pen from the principal's hand. With a few strokes, she signed her name.

She knew very well that this was the wealth Cheng Han had earned. Since that was the case, signing was the end of it!

Even if Cheng Han didn't need this family business, his future descendants might. Miss Qingqing had to think long-term.

Yan Dongting's eyes revealed obvious envy.

Everyone knew that any family that owned this stake would have no worries about food and clothing for ten generations as long as their descendants didn't squander it.

In other words, this was an enduring legacy!

Yan Wei asked again, "Miss Qingqing, if you need it, I can help coordinate with the bank to provide a sum of money in a ten-year interest-free manner, which can be repaid when the orbital cars start making a profit in the future."

Such thoughtful and considerate service was like "feeding food into her mouth."

Qian Qingqing didn't hesitate to say, "Thank you, sir!"

Why not use free funds?

The young girl immediately showed her shrewdness as a businesswoman. "Sir, the construction project will require a large amount of building materials and a large number of workers. Can I participate?"

This was a subtle request: I want to make money from the construction project.

She understood very well that other businessmen could make money from this, so why couldn't she?

As for not having a construction materials business association of her own, that was not a problem!

She could just acquire one.

Yan Wei responded very readily, "Of course you can!"

*

That night.

Qian Qingqing raised a large sum of money and overnight acquired a building materials association and a construction business association.

With her status as a quasi-Xuan Master's wife and offering a reasonable price, the other party almost didn't hesitate to agree.

As for the funds, that was even less of a problem. With just her face, she could easily borrow tens of thousands of gold coins from relatives and friends.

The next day.

Qian Qingqing did something very extraordinary.

She directly posted "Hiring Staff" posters at the entrance of the 15th Middle School.

Among them, it promised to prioritize hiring people from impoverished families and provide above-market-level salaries.

Two days later.

The business associations under the young girl's name recruited over 600 employees, providing security for hundreds of impoverished families.

Ten days later.

Hundreds of large cargo airships arrived at the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm, carrying a large amount of equipment and engineers.

The massive construction project of the Small Spirit Realm orbital cars began.

Relying on her fiancé's support, the young girl successfully secured a 30% share of the entire project.

And with these few things, Qian Qingqing unconsciously became the most prominent figure in the school.

Many teachers and students no longer called her Mrs. Xuan, but instead started calling her "Chairwoman Qian."
