70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 373: Handing Over the Knife

"Let them ask around, we haven’t done anything wrong anyway," Yin Yang said calmly. That kid from yesterday was obviously not from an ordinary family; he had expected someone to come looking for him. The information they could find on him was only what he allowed them to find, he was fearless.

"True, they also asked me about where you guys live. I told them that family are friends of my uncle’s," Huo Qingze said calmly, looking at Yin Yang.

"Mumu did a good deed yesterday, they should come up to thank her," Yin Yang smirked.

Huo Qingze rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with him. He followed Yin Yang to the small courtyard, curious about what Yin Yang wanted with him.

With Yin Yang’s skills, getting things done isn’t difficult; he has the connections and doesn’t really need his help, so why did he seek him out?

"Sit down, it’s hot, right?" Yin Yang poured a cup of tea for Huo Qingze, closed the room door, and turned on the air conditioner.

"Pretty hot," Huo Qingze nodded, "What’s this about?" He watched as Yin Yang closed the hall door and raised an eyebrow at him.

"It won’t be hot soon, this is what I wanted to discuss with you today," Yin Yang pointed at the air conditioner.

"What is this thing?" Huo Qingze asked curiously, it didn’t seem like a regular fan, it didn’t look the part.

Yin Yang didn’t stall, he directly explained the function of the air conditioner and the purpose for which he had sought out Huo Qingze.

"Sell this thing, are you crazy?" Huo Qingze widened his eyes at Yin Yang.

"Crazy or not, you, Young Master Huo, probably already have some intel, right? Policies are getting relaxed; it won’t be long now," Yin Yang gazed at Huo Qingze. Indeed, the policies on top were changing, and the clues in many policy releases indicated that change was coming.

"You seem to know quite a bit," Huo Qingze observed Yin Yang. He could only infer the possibility of major moves based on his dad’s issues, but he wasn’t clear when such moves would happen.

"I know a bit, the change is coming soon. It’s not hot anymore," Yin Yang smiled and lifted the teacup from the table. The room’s temperature gradually dropped and it truly wasn’t hot anymore.

"Indeed, did you make this?" Huo Qingze curiously looked at the large metal lump.

"No, Mumu and my grandfather did it, I just lent a hand. I don’t have suitable people on my side for now, that’s why I came to you for cooperation. Are you interested?" Yin Yang looked at Huo Qingze. The tea was made from the tea leaves grown in the courtyard, although not top-notch, the taste was quite nice.

"I’ll think about it," Huo Qingze didn’t rush to agree. He indeed had a bunch of people, but he couldn’t guarantee the policy changes.

"By the way, Mumu is planning to make a solar power generator, I’m planning to join too. You know, the electricity bills are so expensive now," Yin Yang continued to throw out bait, looking at Huo Qingze.

"If you come up with this technology, the authorities won’t let us do it privately," Huo Qingze’s eyes twitched. Solar power generation, looking at this guy’s confident demeanor, if it really works out, it would be a huge contribution to the country.

"I know, Mumu intends to donate this technology to the country once it’s completed," Yin Yang said seriously. By donating it, they could earn a name and reduce a lot of hassle regarding the air conditioner.

"Tsk, you guys are really willing," Huo Qingze couldn’t help but take it seriously, looking at Yin Yang. They indeed could surprise him.

"What’s there to be unwilling about? Trading one technology for some security is worth it. We won’t run out of other good inventions in the future," Yin Yang said proudly, full of confidence in his little girlfriend.

"This solar power thing of yours hasn’t been made yet, and you’re already daring to present it as a bargaining chip," Huo Qingze rolled his eyes.

"I believe in her," Yin Yang said earnestly.

"I’ll give you an answer in a couple of days, I need to think about it properly," Huo Qingze looked seriously at Yin Yang. This guy’s confident demeanor was almost infecting him.

"Alright," Yin Yang smirked. He was eighty percent sure Huo Qingze would agree. He needed to topple his father, but his current power wasn’t enough. He handed Huo Qingze the knife, he didn’t believe he wouldn’t take it. If this cooperation worked out, Huo Qingze would have more heft in the future.

Huo Qingze sat around for a while longer before leaving the small courtyard. As he left, his heart was far from calm.

Yin Yang checked the time, it was almost time, Mumu was about to finish school, time to pick up his little girlfriend and take her home. He really wanted to get married soon.

He headed toward the school with an umbrella. During class, Xu Mumu received a small note asking her out to the state-run restaurant for a meal.

Xu Mumu’s lips twitched, she glanced at the person sitting ahead, silently threw the note into the drawer, not interested.

After class, that boy immediately approached Xu Mumu.

"Xu Mumu, there’s no class this afternoon, let me treat you to a meal," the boy said shyly.

"No need, I’m going home, my boyfriend’s here to pick me up," Xu Mumu said blandly. Was this boy crazy? She had a boyfriend, and yet he was still trying his luck with her; it was really too much.

"Oh, I see," the boy said, a bit dejected, noticing Yin Yang standing at the classroom door. No guy in the class could compare to Yin Yang.

Seeing Yin Yang had arrived, Xu Mumu quickly packed up her things and left the classroom with Yin Yang in no time.

"Stop looking, they’re gone," Jiang Zhenghao comforted the boy by patting his shoulder. Many boys in the class liked Xu Mumu, but she had a boyfriend. Those feelings were mostly kept hidden, and few expressed them. It would be embarrassing to express them since she had a boyfriend. What would it be if you showed interest—interfering in someone else’s relationship?

"Yeah," Fang Qin nodded and followed Jiang Zhenghao to the cafeteria for a meal. Despite knowing from the start it wouldn’t succeed, being rejected still hurt.

The scene of the two staring at Xu Mumu also fell into the eyes of another person in the classroom—Shen Ya, who couldn’t get along with Xu Mumu before. Shen Ya fancied Jiang Zhenghao, but unfortunately, didn’t dare confess. Jiang Zhenghao wasn’t special to any other girls but Xu Mumu, his eyes always lit up when he saw her.

She had been jealous countless times. Seeing it today still left her feeling unhappy. Why, why was Xu Mumu so popular? She already had a boyfriend and yet kept attracting those boys.

After Jiang Zhenghao and the others left, Shen Ya packed up her things and headed to the cafeteria. Even if she didn’t dare confess, she still wanted to stay close to Jiang Zhenghao.
