Chapter 1676 - 609: Benefiting the People (Part 3)

It wasn’t until this moment that He Tiantian realized, Zixuen’s father was actually a leader in the County.

And Zixuen’s mother was transferred to the County mainly to be close to her husband and take care of him.

Mr. Zhou had been in the County for five years, completing a term, and during his tenure, his performance was impressive, which should warrant a promotion.

"I finally don’t have to follow them around for relocations anymore!"

Zixuen displayed a sense of liberation.

Seeing this, He Tiantian couldn’t help but smile.

Zixuen seemed unwilling to accompany her parents, but He Tiantian knew the family was very close.

Genuinely loving couple and harmonious parent-child relations.

Zixuen is an only child, and with the easing of the two-child policy, Mrs. Zhou, who is not too old, didn’t want to have a son.

And as a leader, Mr. Zhou didn’t favor boys over girls.

Compared to He Shengli, who proudly claims to have an identity and needs an heir, they are absolutely not in the same realm.

Ah, phew!

How could she compare Mr. Zhou with He Shengli? This is inherently an insult and desecration to Leader Zhou!

Thinking of Mr. Zhou, and then this small County, He Tiantian had a sudden notion.

Since she became sensible, He Tiantian had longed to escape from here.

She always wanted to find a place where no one knew her, so no one would point at her and call her "Little Fox Spirit."

No one would sympathize and comfort her, saying, "Don’t blame your parents, they didn’t abandon you, they couldn’t help it. Alas, what can you do, being a girl?"

No relatives would reprimand her, "Even if your parents did something wrong, they are still your parents who gave birth to you and let your aunt raise you. It’s their duty to raise you; you can never abandon them!"

In this small County, memories were mostly unpleasant for He Tiantian.

She carried too much moral constraint.

She dreamed of leaving, away from all these hurts!

But, when the time to leave really came, He Tiantian suddenly felt reluctant —

After all, this is her hometown, the place that nurtured her!

The small County had its flaws, but it also provided warm moments.

Unconsciously, He Tiantian walked to the small supermarket, where she grew up.

Back when He Shengnan got married, she sold the small supermarket and used the money as a dowry.

Now, the small supermarket is still a small supermarket, but it has changed owners.

"Tiantian, come here!"

He Tiantian stood at the entrance of the supermarket, hesitating whether to go in and take a look.

Unexpectedly, a familiar face walked out —

"Sister Mei? How come you’re here?"

He Tiantian was very surprised.

She didn’t let Yuan Mei accompany her on her return to the County this time.

Firstly, the small County was her territory, full of familiar faces, posing no dangers;

Additionally, as a high school student, suddenly bringing an unfamiliar person back to the County would attract attention.

Secondly, Yuan Mei had been safeguarding her day and night since she arrived, even without breaks during New Year’s, which made He Tiantian feel guilty, hence she mandated Yuan Mei take a vacation.

However, He Tiantian never expected Yuan Mei to still follow and suddenly appear in the small supermarket.

A thought flashed quickly in her mind, "Sister Mei, this small supermarket?"

"I’ve taken over it, and that house too, everything is listed under your name!"

"Tiantian, don’t rush to reject, this is care from higher-ups!"

"Although you’ll be going to the Capital City to study, this place will always be your hometown, your roots!"

Yuan Mei quickly uttered these words, blocking He Tiantian’s refusal.

The higher-ups knew He Tiantian was a kind, selfless, patriotically loving child, yet her original family wasn’t ideal.

This led the child to feel detached from family and kinship.

The higher-ups weren’t worried that He Tiantian might become antisocial or, due to coldness, commit acts harmful to the nation.

However, giving He Tiantian more concerns, making her cherish the world more, would prevent her from becoming too solitary and miserable.

"...Yes, this is my hometown, I can’t completely sever ties!"

He Tiantian said slowly.

Prior to this, she already had a thought, and hearing Yuan Mei’s words, seeing the familiar small supermarket, she became more determined about that thought.

"Oh, Sister Mei, that bio-genetic company is officially founded and profitable, right?"

He Tiantian suddenly asked.

Yuan Mei paused for a while, then replied, "Yes! If you need the money, I can apply to front the dividend for you!"

If the project’s dividend wasn’t enough, He Tiantian also had bonuses from the small nuclear reactor and related project dividends.

Oh, and artificial intelligence!

Wow...I didn’t realize it until calculating, Yuan Mei suddenly found out that He Tiantian’s contributions to the country were indeed vast.

"Hmm, I want to build a high-speed railway station or construct a highway in the County. I don’t quite understand the specific processes and procedures, but I can provide funding."

He Tiantian couldn’t help the whole world, but she could try to benefit the town...
