"How much money is this..."
After quite a while, the couple finally recovered from their shock, their faces full of disbelief.
This was 640 billion!
Not 6,400 bucks!
"Xiao Fei, is this real?" Pan Xinran waved her phone, asking in disbelief.
"It's real."
Qin Fei smiled and nodded.
Tang Yuan swallowed hard. "This is too exaggerated. When the shop isn't busy, I occasionally play some casual games. Let alone 640 billion RMB, I wouldn't even dare to imagine having 640 billion in-game coins..."
Before Qin Fei returned, Tang Yuan had thought about many things.
How had his sister been living outside all these years?
Was it good or bad?
In his opinion, she was probably not doing very well.
After all, how well could a child who grew up in an orphanage do?
But he never expected that the money she had was more than a hundred times the combined in-game currency of all the games he currently played!
He was truly frightened.
He wouldn't have dared to think of this even in his dreams.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, when the time comes, just focus on running the chain store business well. Don't worry about anything else," Qin Fei said.
Soon, after finishing their meal, Qin Ning took out his phone and directly called Guo Zhengwen in the provincial capital, asking him to find someone to select a few suitable locations for chain stores in various towns and villages of Shuishan City.
After receiving Qin Ning's call, Guo Zhengwen did not dare to delay. He quickly passed down the notice, directly calling Yu Yongchang, the top official of Shuishan City, telling him to make sure it was properly implemented.
"This is a task assigned by Young Master Qin. You must put your heart into it. Don't think I'm joking," Guo Zhengwen instructed seriously.
"Understood, Secretary Guo. I understand."
Yu Yongchang was almost scared to death by this call. He nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but ask, "Secretary Guo, this Young Master Qin..."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Right now, Young Master Qin is over there in your Shuishan City. If you do this well and gain his appreciation, a meteoric rise in your career will be just around the corner. Remember one thing: if you have the chance to meet Young Master Qin, just treat him with the same respect as you would when meeting Elder Zeng."
"Elder Zeng?" Yu Yongchang was taken aback, failing to react immediately.
Guo Zhengwen spat out two words, "The Capital."
Hearing this, Yu Yongchang was greatly shocked, his face full of disbelief.
Soon, after hanging up the phone, Yu Yongchang hurriedly conveyed this matter to the various towns and villages, especially giving a priority notice to Xin'an Town, because he learned from Guo Zhengwen that this Young Master Qin was currently somewhere in Xin'an Town.
"It's done. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be results in the next two days."
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Qin Ning spoke after hanging up the phone. "However, for Xin'an Town, we can just find a location ourselves. After all, Brother and Sister-in-law should be very familiar with the town and know where it's most suitable to open a shop."
Saying that, he chatted with Tang Yuan and Pan Xinran about matters concerning the chain store. They talked until the evening, and Qin Ning and Qin Fei stayed overnight at the house.
It wasn't until early the next morning, after breakfast, that Qin Fei drove the car, taking Qin Ning, Tang Yuan, and Pan Xinran to the town.
The town was indeed not large, with only two commercial streets. Or rather, they weren't commercial streets, but a bazaar. Because the town's population was small, there was a market fair only once every two days.
Today happened to be market day. The streets were somewhat congested—not because there were many cars, but because there were many people attending the market on both sides of the street. It was almost packed full, so the car drove exceptionally slowly.
For a street that was only a few hundred meters long, it took Qin Fei a full ten minutes or so to reach the middle-to-rear section, which was where Tang Yuan's shop was located.
However, there was no way to open for business today, because they were going to look for a suitable spot later. The location needed to be larger, as they planned to open the Xin'an Town chain store there.
After parking the car at the shop entrance, the four of them walked toward the very crowded center of the street.
There was a three-story small building here that had a strong sense of age. It was dilapidated and old, a supply and marketing cooperative from the 1980s or 90s. It was now abandoned. A few years ago, there were rumors that it was going to be demolished and rebuilt, but perhaps due to a shortage of funds in the town, it had been delayed until now without any construction starting.
"This location is the best. The foot traffic is high, and not far to the left is the only bank in town."
Tang Yuan spoke up, "However, taking down this place probably won't be that easy. It's not a matter of money..."
"It's fine, I'll make a call." Qin Ning smiled and then took out his phone.
Tang Yuan and Pan Xinran couldn't help but exchange a glance. Even now, they still weren't clear on exactly what kind of status this younger brother held.
They just felt that no matter what the issue was, there was nothing a single phone call from him couldn't solve.
Soon, after hanging up the phone, the four of them joined the fun and explored the market. Qin Fei found it very novel.
Unlike the prosperity of big cities, although there were no high-rise buildings here, market day was equally bustling and extraordinary, and the local customs were very simple and honest.
After strolling for about an hour, they arrived at the only milk tea shop on the street. Each ordered a cup of milk tea and sat down to chat.
Just then, Qin Ning's phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was an unknown number. Without overthinking, he answered it directly.
"Hello, is this Young Master Qin?"
On the other end of the line, the speaker was Yang Yong, the top official of the town.
Last night, he had received a call from Yu Yongchang and knew that an incredibly awesome figure was in his town these past two days.
Just now, Yu Yongchang had called him again, saying that Young Master Qin had arrived, and explained the matter regarding the old three-story supply and marketing cooperative building.
"It is."
Qin Ning nodded. "Yeah, we are on the street. You don't need to come. There are too many people here, so we will just head over. Just wait in your office."
After speaking a few more words, Qin Ning hung up and then looked at Tang Yuan. "Brother, it was a call from Secretary Yang of your town. Should we go find him now?"
"Alright."
Tang Yuan nodded, but his heart was filled with extreme astonishment.
What was the background of this godbrother of his?
He made one phone call, and not long after, Secretary Yang called him back?
Soon, the four of them stood up. About ten minutes later, they arrived downstairs at a large compound.
Yang Yong, after hanging up the phone, had come straight downstairs to greet them personally.
At this moment, seeing Qin Ning's group of four walking over slowly, he hurriedly went up to meet them, smiling as he extended his hand. "Are you Young Master Qin?"
"Secretary Yang?" Qin Ning asked in return, reaching out to shake his hand.
"That's me."
Yang Yong was somewhat overwhelmed by the favor. Although he didn't know the exact background of this Young Master Qin, this was, after all, a figure that Yu Yongchang had personally instructed him to host well no matter what.
Moreover, after speaking with Yu Yongchang just now, Yang Yong had also learned that because of Qin Ning, Yu Yongchang was currently on his way to Xin'an Town.
To actually be able to make the top official of their Shuishan City come over personally—one could easily imagine just how extraordinary this young man was.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
