"H-hello, Secretary Yu."
Tang Yuan wiped the sweat from his hands, feeling extremely flattered and overwhelmed.
Having Yang Yong here was already incredible enough for him.
Now, Yu Yongchang had actually shown up as well.
This was the top leader of Shuishan City!
As an ordinary citizen who had worked hard in Xin'an Town for years, how could he ever have imagined that one day he would be dining at the same table with such a prominent figure?
Moreover, he had just witnessed Yu Yongchang's attitude toward Qin Ning.
He did not even dare to imagine just how terrifying his younger brother's background must be!
Soon, everyone chatted about the investment while they ate.
After a few rounds of drinks, three young men walked through the door of the private room.
They were Xia Fei, Wang Er, and Cai Cheng.
They had also received a call from Qin Ning this morning and learned about Qin Fei's plan to invest in Xin'an Town. Thus, they flew over directly on a private jet. After several transfers, they finally found this restaurant.
Compared to those big cities, Xin'an Town was truly a bit remote, making it quite a hassle for them to locate.
"Young Master Qin, Xiao Fei."
As soon as the three entered, they greeted Qin Ning and Qin Fei first.
Then, Qin Ning introduced the people present to them.
Hearing this, Wang Er immediately and enthusiastically shook hands and greeted everyone one by one.
"This is Xia Fei from Liu City, you all should have heard of him. The other two are Cai Cheng and Wang Er, from the Magic City," Qin Ning said with a smile, introducing the identities of the three to Tang Yuan and his wife.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuan and Pan Xinran were shocked once again, and Yang Yong beside them felt the same.
As a top-tier prefecture-level city in Xi Province, how could they not have heard the name of the Xia family, the richest family in Liu City?
They never expected this to be the young master of the Xia family, and to see him so respectful to Qin Ning and Qin Fei, acting almost like a lapdog.
What was even more important were the latter two.
Cai Cheng and Wang Er from the Magic City!
Good heavens...
Weren't the families of these two once the richest in the entire country?
"Xiao Fei, Young Master Qin, we've gotten a rough idea on our way here. The commercial street over there can definitely be planned more boldly. Shuishan City is a famous tourist city in our Xi Province. Although Xin'an Town is remote, as long as it is developed, the foot traffic will certainly increase within two years at most," Wang Er said.
Cai Cheng chimed in from the side, "Yes, and I can just provide the funding for the commercial street's investment. Don't worry, I guarantee everything will be arranged perfectly."
Hearing this, Xia Fei hastily spoke up, "Then I'll cover the money for the park, the people's square, and the factory."
"Bullshit, if you cover all of that, what am I supposed to do?" Wang Er immediately became displeased.
Cai Cheng said, "Go cool off somewhere else. Who told you to be so slow to speak up? Anyway, I'm taking charge of the five billion for the commercial street."
"What five billion? Doesn't the five billion include the factory, park, and people's square? You're paying for all of it? Then what do I pay for?" Xia Fei frowned.
"I'm putting up five billion anyway, I don't care what you pay for," Cai Cheng shrugged.
Wang Er grew even more annoyed. "Xin'an Town is only so big. Dropping five billion is already the absolute limit for development. You damn well want to fund it all by yourself?"
Cai Cheng clearly wanted to snatch all the opportunities to show off. How could Wang Er and Xia Fei agree to that?
As the three talked, they actually started arguing over this. If Qin Ning hadn't stopped them, they probably would have gone outside for a big fight.
Since the three of them had undergone cultivation, their agility, strength, and other aspects were far beyond what ordinary people could compare to. Getting into a physical fight was no longer a strange occurrence for them.
Meanwhile, Tang Yuan, Pan Xinran, Yang Yong, and Yu Yongchang watched, completely dumbfounded.
What kind of people were these?
Fighting to invest money?
They almost came to blows because they couldn't spend their money?
"What are you arguing about?"
Qin Fei was a bit speechless and softly scolded the three. "I can cover the investment in Xin'an County by myself. If you also want to contribute, go talk to Secretary Yu. Shuishan City isn't just made up of Xin'an Town."
"Right, right, Xiao Fei is right."
Being scolded by her like this, how could the three dare to talk back?
Wang Er hurriedly offered a toast to Yu Yongchang and then pulled him aside to discuss cooperation.
Seeing this, Cai Cheng and Xia Fei naturally didn't want to fall behind, and they quickly gathered around as well.
This instantly made Yu Yongchang feel somewhat overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
Although he was the top leader of Shuishan City, it had to be said that Shuishan City was a poor, small place. Due to its geographical features, large enterprises almost rarely came to invest.
Now, the Wang family, the Cai family, and the Xia family had actually come knocking on his door at the same time. How could he not be excited?
Furthermore, Yu Yongchang understood that the reason he had such an opportunity today was entirely tied to Qin Ning.
He didn't know exactly what kind of background Qin Ning had, but he had heard Guo Zhengwen say on the phone earlier that when meeting Qin Ning, he must treat him just as he would treat Elder Zeng.
Now, he profoundly understood the meaning of those words.
"Xiao Fei, Xiao Ning, we plan to take a trip to Huayun County tomorrow, right next to Xin'an Town. Xinran's brother's son, my nephew, is turning one month old. Do you want to go?" Tang Yuan asked.
Qin Fei paused for a moment, looked at Tang Yuan, then at Pan Xinran, and nodded. "I haven't visited sister-in-law's family yet, so this is a good time to go and pay my respects."
"Great, then we'll head over together tomorrow," Pan Xinran said happily.
"Sister-in-law, can we go too? If you think it would be an intrusion..."
Wang Er, Cai Cheng, and Xia Fei asked cautiously.
Since they were already here.
They naturally didn't want to just go back like this.
Speaking of which, it had been quite a while since they last traveled with Qin Ning and Qin Fei.
"It's not an intrusion at all! If you can come, I'd be more than happy," Pan Xinran quickly replied.
"Good, good. Sister-in-law, I'll arrange for cars to come over later. Tonight, the few of us will stay at a hotel in town, and we'll set off together tomorrow morning," Xia Fei said.
Qin Ning glanced at Yang Yong and Yu Yongchang. Knowing what they were thinking, he said with a wry smile, "If you want to go, just tell my brother and sister-in-law. Why are you looking at me?"
"Secretary Yang, Secretary Yu, do you want to go too?"
Pan Xinran was extremely flattered. If these two also tagged along, she couldn't imagine how grand the occasion would be. It would boost her Pan family's prestige to the heavens!
"Ahem, I originally planned to visit Huayun County for an inspection this year anyway. Since I'm already here, doing the inspection early isn't a bad idea," Yu Yongchang said.
"Then I..."
Yang Yong frowned deeply, seemingly trying to quickly find a suitable excuse to join them.
"Alright, let's just all go together. Let's eat first, the food is getting cold," Qin Ning said.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
