Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2404 - 2340: Diagnosed with Cancer

As soon as she brought it up, Chiang Xiao recalled the name.

Wasn't he the fellow who labored for Deng Qingjiang? Assisting Deng Qingjiang in various tasks.

"I remember now, what happened to him?"

Chiang Xiao realized that Chen Yin had mentioned Guo Zitong out of the blue for a specific reason.

Chen Yin explained, "Here's the situation, Sister-in-law. This Guo Zitong is really competent. He's quit working for Deng Qingjiang already, and I'd like to bring him on to assist me here. What are your thoughts on that, Sister-in-law?"

"Resigned? What for?"

Even though Guo Zitong held no direct connection to Chiang Xiao and remained essentially an outsider, his role under Deng Qingjiang meant she couldn't ignore the matter.

"He mentioned clashing ideologically with Deng Qingjiang, unable to tolerate his methods, so he chose not to continue serving him."

"I see."

"Sister-in-law, if I bring him on to work with me, you're fine with it, aren't you?"

As Chen Yin posed the question, a touch of anxiety stirred within him.

He worried that this might irritate Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao replied in astonishment, "Why seek my view on hiring someone to assist you?"

"Sister-in-law, don't tell me you've overlooked it? You're providing the investment, making you his employer too in the end. That's precisely why I'm consulting you. I intend for him to oversee the real estate operations. Yet if Sister-in-law objects, I'll shift him to handling property management."

Chen Yin continued. He'd assessed Guo Zitong carefully and believed the man was genuinely fitting and talented.

He'd learned firsthand how tough it proved to locate a reliable ally for diving into business. In these times, the majority preferred secure employment, viewing entrepreneurship as too risky. It extended beyond individual choice, with relatives, partners, and kids often voicing strong views.

Even a minor setback might spark serious household disputes.

For example, when he suggested pursuing real estate, plenty dismissed it as excessive worry, insisting that securing a solid role with stability meant organizations supplied homes, so why shell out for one yourself?

Wouldn't that just be silly?

Thus, numerous folks predicted he'd squander everything until nothing remained.

Guo Zitong, however, boldly chose to join him, claiming the sector held bright prospects ahead.

Naturally, should Chiang Xiao deem it improper, he'd place Guo Zitong in another role, even if it meant underutilizing his abilities somewhat.

Only at this moment did Chiang Xiao recall her plan to fund Chen Yin's real estate venture.

"If you believe he's suitable, then I won't object. After all, as I've mentioned before, I'm only putting in the capital; the operations are yours. If you find him reliable and capable, go ahead and employ him. I imagine recruiting talent isn't straightforward nowadays."

"Sister-in-law has hit the nail on the head, hasn't she? It's genuinely challenging."

Chen Yin let out a relieved breath and told her, "Earlier today, Guo Zitong shared some news with me. He spotted Ye Wanqing heading to Deng Qingjiang's furniture city in search of him. Deng Qingjiang wasn't present then, yet Ye Wanqing demanded entry to his office, stating she'd wait inside."

Just what scheme was Ye Wanqing hatching?

Did she lack any refuge, drifting about in hopes of finding a haven?

"What occurred next?"

"Afterward, the furniture city staff hauled her away. Word is she wailed and yelled during it. Guo Zitong inquired further and learned Deng Qingjiang had visited the police station to bail out Ye Wanqing, claiming she'd nearly ended Mrs. Deng's life when she showed up to challenge her. Once home, Mrs. Deng threw a fit and collapsed once more. They rushed her to the hospital for examination, where doctors revealed she suffered from cancer."
