Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 743 - 277: The Completion of the Ten-Billion Industrial Park, Benefiting the Hometown
Watching the little boy skip away.
Sun Dasheng smiled and took Wu Xiaoli’s hand, saying, "Let’s go over there and take a look."
Wu Xiaoli tilted her head and asked, "Is there something special over there?"
Hearing her question, Sun Dasheng slapped his head, realizing that she still didn’t know about his investments here.
So he told her the whole story.
Upon hearing that her man had stirred such a big commotion here, Wu Xiaoli was first surprised and then somewhat worried as she asked:
"I heard on the news that some less developed places like... will it be okay for you to do this?"
"No worries, your concern is valid, but the leadership here is quite good, and I’m not without connections. Rest assured."
Hearing this from Sun Dasheng, Wu Xiaoli finally felt at ease.
The two of them walked to the new industrial park, and instantly felt as if they were transitioning from the outskirts to the city center.
"Wow! This doesn’t even look like a county town." Wu Xiaoli said in amazement.
Sun Dasheng also felt emotional: "The leadership here really has guts. They seized the opportunity to move the county offices, hospitals, and schools over here, creating a new urban area."
"They’ve injected new vitality into the old county town, which was lifeless for decades."
"Yeah, there are so many people here. It feels much more bustling than a typical county town. I mean, really packed with people." Wu Xiaoli added, feeling emotional.
"Of course, our county is one of the most populous in our province, with about 1.5 to 1.6 million people. This place has been a land of abundance since ancient times, capable of supporting a large population. But it gradually fell behind during modern industrialization, causing many people to leave their hometowns for work."
"Now, I’ve invested in many companies here, requiring a large workforce. The wages are not lower than those in coastal developed cities, giving them an opportunity to work closer to home and naturally increasing the county’s population visibility."
After touring the fresh industrial park, the two headed home.
Weekend.
The baby’s first birthday feast began.
Most of the relatives and friends who could come were there.
The Sun family’s child is now widely known as the richest person in the county, so anyone receiving an invitation wouldn’t refuse to come.
Even if they can’t become in-laws, they might seek a favor to arrange a stable job for their own children.
Besides, there’s word that the newly built, impressively large industrial park in the county mostly belongs to him.
If their children could work nearby and take care of them in their old age, wouldn’t that be double the happiness?
With this thought, many relatives, neighbors, and friends came to visit.
Sun Dasheng didn’t plan to handle these matters himself. He delegated the responsibility to his parents.
His original words were: "The businesses I’ve invested in within the county are meant as a benefit for the local folks. They aren’t critical industries, so it’s okay to have some connections involved. However, you still need to vet them, not just hire anyone—especially not those with poor character, reputation, or criminal backgrounds."
Grandpa Sun and Mrs. Sun gave him a sideways glance: "Do you think your parents lack judgment that much?"
This made Sun Dasheng awkwardly smile.
But he felt the need to clarify it initially.
He knew his parents well, but feared they might find it hard to refuse under pressure.
The birthday feast was both low-key and lively.
Low-key because he didn’t invite business associates, as their arrival would create quite a stir in this small county town.
Lively because many relatives, friends, and neighbors attended.
Mainly their former neighbors from when his parents lived in the government compound.
Now that the compound was gone, most of them had moved into villa communities, so naturally, they came eagerly to support.
Moreover, many of them had personal motives, hoping to take this opportunity to get their unaccomplished kids into Sun’s enterprises.
Midway through the feast, a group of unexpected guests arrived.
At the forefront was none other than the former county leader, Secretary Zhu. Why former? Because due to his recent notable achievements, he was appreciated by higher-ups and promoted to deputy secretary overseeing industrial management in the city.
"Secretary Zhu, what brings you here?" Sun Dasheng stood up with a relaxed smile to greet him.
Everyone else was quite surprised, not expecting that even the old county secretary would attend a Sun family child’s birthday feast.
People of such high position usually avoid these potentially compromising gatherings.
Secretary Zhu enthusiastically greeted everyone, encouraging them to enjoy themselves, saying that he was just here as a guest and everyone should make themselves at home.
Then he warmly pulled Sun Dasheng aside for a chat.
He was eager to, as he now had a significant responsibility, carrying the city’s hopes to win over the most influential business magnate in the city, hoping he could also invest in the city.
After all, everyone needs some achievements, don’t they?
This was the most genuine thought, hoping to contribute positively to their office tenure.
Listening to Secretary Zhu’s candid talk, Sun Dasheng didn’t feel much repulsion.
Why? Because there was one word that described his speech—sincerity.
Unlike other leaders who start by painting grand visions, only for you to find that real investments never see the promised commitments followed through.
