Jiang Feng was puzzled and curious. He asked, “Little Shi, what do you mean?”

Then, he looked at the land at the side that was overrun with weeds.

Jiang Feng's second aunt knocked on Jiang Shi's head as she said angrily. “Child, stop spouting nonsense!” Then, she sighed and said to Jiang Feng, “It's nothing. It's just a small matter.”

Jiang Feng naturally could tell there was more to the matter than his second aunt let on. He asked, concerned, “Second Aunt, what happened?”

After saying that, Jiang Feng looked at his second uncle.

Jiang Feng's second uncle wore a complicated expression on his face, looking like he was lost in his thoughts. After a moment, he said, “The city plans to build a new subway line. Previously, there were rumors that it was going to be built here. I partnered up with someone and used all my money to buy the piece of land here at a high price.”

Jiang Feng's second aunt sighed again and shook her head helplessly. “After that, the rumors changed. It was said that the subway line had been changed. With that, the price of the land plummeted.”

Jiang Feng sighed before he said, “Second Uncle is capable and has many means. Being able to obtain this piece of land is also a testament to that. It's just a pity that his luck wasn't good.” Then, he said comfortingly, “Second Aunt, don't be sad. Things like that are uncertain. It's no different from gambling. It's good enough that Second Uncle got as far as he did.”

Jiang Feng's second uncle sighed and said with a hint of sadness, “I worked hard all my life, but I didn't expect to lose everything here. All I wanted was to advance. However, thinking about it, I'm still very happy with my memories from before.”

Jiang Shi seemed flustered. “Dad, why are you feeling sad again? You have to take care of your health. Don't stress yourself out. It doesn't matter if you lost your company! In the future, I'll start a company of my own to fulfill your wish!”

“Good, good. I'm very happy to have a daughter like you,” Jiang Feng's second uncle said with a smile, feeling gratified. However, his expression turned solemn when he looked at Jiang Feng and said, “Little Feng, you have to be careful now that you own a company. The slightest mistake can drag you down to the bottom immediately. Sometimes, you can't trust insider information…”

Jiang Feng asked curiously, “Second Uncle, are you working now?”

Jiang Feng's second uncle used to be the owner of a company. After losing the company, Jiang Feng did not know if his uncle had gone to another place to work. The road ahead was difficult, and he had to be careful every step of the way. Otherwise, he would fall into a very difficult position.

Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, Jiang Shi said furiously, “Speaking of this, I'm really angry! Cousin, the company my father is working at now is really terrible! I've never heard of a more ridiculous company! My father even fell ill because of it!”

Her father's boss overworked her father. Not only did he have to work overtime, but he even had to work overtime during the weekends. If it were not for the fact that she was still a student, she would have gone to the company and kicked her father's boss.

“What do you mean?” Jiang Feng continued to ask.

“In the past, my father was a good boss. He gave a lot of benefits to his company. After losing the company, he was forced to work in a wretched company! His boss is mean and inhumane! Not only is Dad grossly underpaid, but he's forced to work overtime all the time as well!” Jiang Shi said indignantly.

Jiang Feng's second uncle shook his head. He thought that Jiang Shi was still naive.

If his gamble on this piece of land had paid off, his company would have risen to great heights. Alas, he lost the gamble and lost everything. If there were a chance to do it again, he would have made a different choice. Alas, there was no medicine for regret. He could only be a small employee now and work hard for the rest of his life. This was the harsh reality of life.

Jiang Feng said comfortingly, “Second Uncle, don't think about this matter anymore. There'll definitely be a chance for you to make a comeback in the future. You still have many years ahead of you!”

Jiang Feng's second uncle sighed and waved his hand. “Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all in the past. It happened quite a while ago so I'm not sad. In fact, I'm in a good mood now!”

Jiang Feng smiled. “Second uncle, don't worry. You have me to take care of you in the future.”

Suddenly, Jiang Feng received a notification from the system.

[Ding! Congratulations on activating the Divine-Choice System. You've triggered the wasteland. You're rewarded with a copy of the city's subway line blueprint]

Jiang Feng was surprised. Then, delight burst forth from his heart.

It just so happened that he needed a large amount of money. This notification was definitely a pleasant surprise. As long as he took advantage of this opportunity, he would be able to make a large amount of money. If he succeeded, it would not be difficult to go against Luo Yuchang and acquire Kerry Financial Company.

The government was very strict with the blueprint of the subway line. It was impossible for it to leak out, and others could only speculate and gamble. If they lost, they would suffer a huge loss. If they won, they would make a lot of money. It was not surprising that many people did not dare to take such risks. After all, the cost was too high if they lost.

However, with this reward, Jiang Feng did not have to take any risks at all. He would be able to make a lot of money to go against Luo Yuchang. Perhaps, he could even acquire Kerry Financial Company soon.

Jiang Feng could already see himself earning a huge amount of money. After the completion of the construction, the value of the surrounding land would increase as well. Apart from that, the land appropriated by the government would be very high as well. He only needed to successfully obtain the land.

Once he succeeded, not to mention Luo Yuchang, he could easily resolve other problems as well.

After obtaining the land, once the subway line was officially announced, the land price would rise immediately. He could also use the land as collateral and borrow money from the bank.

In short, this reward would help him defeat Luo Yuchang and obtain Kerry Financial Company. With Kerry Financial Company, Cinda Financial would reach new heights. At that time, it would also be much easier to enter a larger market.

Jiang Feng's heart was filled with expectations and hope at this time. He felt very confident. Fortunately, he had this rare system. Otherwise, it would really be difficult for him to solve this problem. Now that he was given the solution, he had to focus on obtaining the land. With this thought in mind, he could not help but look at his second uncle.

Jiang Feng's second uncle was puzzled when he saw Jiang Feng looking at him. He asked, “Little Feng, what's wrong?”

He could not help but worry, wondering if Jiang Feng encountered a problem.

Jiang Feng said seriously, “It's nothing, Second Uncle. I just have something to tell you when we return. It's quite important.”

Although he did not have connections, his second uncle did. As long as he made good of the connections, he would be able to buy the land. Since he had several hundred million, he did not have to worry about not being able to purchase the land.

Apart from that, he could also help his second uncle revive his company and his dream. At that time, he would also have connections in the real estate industry. They could help each other. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

His second uncle was very reliable. In the future, Cinda Financial would have help, and he did not have to worry so much if he encountered problems in the future.

Meanwhile, Jiang Feng's second uncle's heart skipped a beat as he wondered inwardly, ‘Did Little Feng really encounter a problem? I have to help him as much as I can!'
