Chapter 171: Risk It All
Professor Xu’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He couldn’t help but ask, “What else? How do we guarantee the profit and return on investment?”
“There are many delicious and cheap restaurants in the city west area. We can build a food street and renovate the ancient buildings as scenic spots,” Shen Hanxing smiled. “I believe that the city west will not always be this poor. There are so many advantages that no one has discovered. Of course, I also hope that the city’s transformation will not remove the characteristics that belong to the city west. If that happens, we will lose the characteristic of this area.”
Shen Hanxing grinned embarra.s.sedly. “I might be a little greedy. It’s just that my grandma lives here, and she loved the place she lived. So, I also hope that the place remains in its original state. These are all things that I randomly think about when I have nothing to do. Just listen and forget about it. It’s just a random thought of mine.”
“No! That’s a genius idea!” Professor Xu was excited. The students behind him were also thrilled.
After walking back and forth as he pondered, Professor Xu frowned. “Publicity and attracting investment are the problems we need to face. If we can’t attract tourists, I’m afraid…” He was afraid they would lose everything they had invested.

Even if the government considered developing the west side of the city to transform the backward urban areas, it would be impossible for them not to reconsider the economic problems. If they could not promote economic development on the west side of the city, the government would not agree to develop it.
“We can find a solution for that,” Seeing their expressions, Shen Hanxing was worried. She probed, “if there are difficulties, we should go and solve them. Aren’t we supposed to propose problems and solve them?”
“Yes! You’re right!” It enlightened Professor Xu. No matter which city zone they developed, there would be different problems. No city zone was perfect. He laughed heartily. “The more I live, the more muddle-headed I get. I’m not as open-minded as you are.”
He took out a business card and handed it to Shen Hanxing. “This is my business card. I hope you will have time to share your thoughts with me, Mrs. Ji. I’m interested in planning the west side of the city you have brought up.”
Xu Jinhe was a famous professor in S City! Shen Hanxing was surprised. Rumor said that this professor was serious and responsible in his work. He had partic.i.p.ated in many cities’ plans and had changed the government’s plan several times. As she took the business card, Shen Hanxing’s heart raced. She pursed her dry lips and said, “Okay.”
Shen Hanxing could hear her rapid heartbeat. The development of the city at this time was of great importance. If she did not work hard, the government would choose the city east for development. However, Shen Hanxing wanted to try. She had the dream of fighting for the west side of the city.
Shen Hanxing looked around at the Angel Orphanage, whose walls had peeled off. She looked at the low and old residential area of the city west. The streets looked shabby. Shen Hanxing could not help but clench her fists. Her heart told her she had to fight. Even if she failed, at least she had tried her best. She would not regret it.
After distributing the dumplings, Shen Hanxing brought the kids to visit her grandmother. Her grandmother had been living a comfortable life lately. She did not need to worry about money. Xiao Yu and Chu Feng often came to visit her. Perhaps because their presence had affected her mood, her grandmother looked much younger than before.
While Shen Hanxing brought Ji Yan’s younger brothers and sisters to talk to her grandmother, various media had reported the news of Shen Hanxing taking the young masters and young ladies of the Ji family to the orphanage to deliver supplies.
Some people saw the news and praised Shen Hanxing for her beauty and kindness. Of course, some people complained that Shen Hanxing’s gifts were too little. She had married into a wealthy family and donated so little. She was so stingy that she only gave the orphans dumplings to eat. Of course, others ridiculed the person who said this.
“Those stingy people only gave the orphans dumplings to eat? This bowl of dumplings might be more expensive than your family’s living expenses for a week!”
That was the most famous dumpling shop in S City. Even if you had money, you wouldn’t be able to get a seat in it!
The news on the internet had praises and slanders about Shen Hanxing’s act. After Cheng Songyang saw this news, he was so angry that he smashed his phone. “Where’s Cheng Liu? Have you contacted her?” The police had caught Ji Mei, and their money chain had broken. He was so busy that he couldn’t contact Cheng Liu.
“Not yet,” Liu Kui wiped the cold sweat on his head and answered in fear, “Miss Cheng Liu and Miss Shen Sisi went to the mountains to donate resources. The signal there is not good, so I can’t contact her…”
“Shen Sisi?” Cheng Songyang’s eyes were red. The daughter of the mistress, Shen Hanxing’s half-sister.
