Chapter Index

    “Bastard!”

    Wang Lan immediately slammed the table.

    Xu Shaochen killed Liao Wenzu took his 50 billion and cut off Wang Kun’s finger. It’s outrageous.

    Wang Lan had never felt such anger in his entire life.

    If Xu Shaochen were in front of him, he would surely dismember him.

    “Dad, it’s just a finger. It’s no big deal. It’s mainly… Brother Liao. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let Brother Liao stay.”

    Wang Kun’s eyes filled with tears, he gritted his teeth so hard it seemed like he’d shatter them, full of regret.

    “Dad, no one expected Brother Liao’s death. It’s all because Xu Shaochen was too arrogant and ruthless. It’s hardly Wang Kun’s fault.”

    Wang Sheng quickly stood up to defend Wang Kun, placing the blame for Liao Wenzu’s death entirely on Xu Shaochen.

    After all, if Wang Kun was at fault,

    then his fault would be even greater. After all, Liao Wenzu went to Jiangzhou to save him.

    And in the end, he left first, leaving Liao Wenzu and Wang Kun behind, leading to Liao Wenzu’s death.

    “Hoo—”

    Wang Lan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his rage. “Xu Shaochen, I have a blood feud with you!”

    ……………

    Four o’clock in the afternoon.

    The Xu Shaochen whom Wang Lan had sworn vengeance against had just entered Yunquan County.

    Yunquan County was highly attentive to Xu Shaochen’s arrival.

    Officials from the county government directly went to the town entrance to welcome Xu Shaochen.

    The only road leading into Yunquan County was a national highway built many years ago.

    At the highway entrance,

    a large crowd was gathered. Some were government staff, while others were representatives of prominent small enterprises within Yunquan County.

    At the forefront was Guo Zhengming, the top official of Yunquan County, aged forty.

    Everyone was eagerly awaiting.

    For this remote small county, aside from national subsidies, Xu Shaochen was their only hope for change.

    “He’s here, he’s here. Look, isn’t that Mr. Xu’s car?”

    “Don’t call him Mr. Xu. It’s Mr. Xu, understand the protocol.”

    “A true big boss, just look at the car, the cheapest is an A6.”

    Suddenly, the crowd became excited, everyone squeezed forward.

    “Why squeeze? Don’t squeeze. Maintain order, don’t let Mr. Xu see a joke.”

    “Yes, yes, everyone, don’t squeeze. Follow the rehearsal.”

    With several shouts, the chaotic crowd gradually calmed down.

    Nine black cars, kicking up dust, approached.

    Soon after, the nine cars stopped by the roadside.

    Xu Shaochen, accompanied by Liu Ruxue, Liu Ruxu, Yuxiu, and Ye Ling, got out of the car, surrounded by bodyguards and executives from Chenyu Tianyu, looking like stars among the moon.

    To be honest,

    upon seeing the four women, everyone present was momentarily stunned.

    First, because such top-tier beauties were rare in a small county like Yunquan County.

    Second, because they had some awareness of Xu Shaochen’s romantic exploits. This guy was truly flamboyant.

    However, some men with many women are called scumbags.

    But Xu Shaochen was different; it was called youthful charm and true nature.

    It was just so genuine.

    Seeing Xu Shaochen walking towards them,

    Guo Zhengming hurriedly led the group to greet him, extending his hands from afar before he even arrived.

    “Mr. Xu, welcome to Yunquan. On behalf of the 200,000 people of Yunquan County, I express our sincere gratitude to you.”

    Xu Shaochen shook hands with Guo Zhengming, laughing heartily. “Director Guo, you’re too polite. I’m just doing what little I can. Whether Yunquan County can escape poverty depends on you all.”

    Meanwhile, the reporters who had been prepared took numerous pictures of this scene.

    These reporters were summoned by Xu Shaochen.

    After all, he needed to let the outside world know what he had done.

    He wasn’t the sort to do good deeds without leaving a name.

    “It’s Mr. Xu being too modest. If not for Mr. Xu, our Yunquan County would even struggle with children’s educational resources. The students here will remember Mr. Xu for life.”

    Guo Zhengming held Xu Shaochen’s hand tightly and shook it, filled with excitement and gratitude, his voice slightly choking.

    He had worked here for many years, long considering himself part of Yunquan County. He knew the backwardness and poverty here, and despite wanting to change it, he often felt powerless.

    For many years, he traveled everywhere seeking investments, but those who respected him only came for a brief inspection, then left. Those who didn’t even refused to meet him.

    But since Lotus Charity arrived, Yunquan County gained several new schools and hospitals, significantly addressing the shortages of educational and medical resources.

    Thus, Guo Zhengming was sincerely grateful to Xu Shaochen.

    “Director Guo, Mr. Xu and others have had a long journey. Let’s first arrange dinner.”

    A young man, seeing Guo Zhengming holding onto Xu Shaochen’s hand, reminded him. He was Guo Zhengming’s secretary.

    “Yes, yes, let’s eat first, to welcome Mr. Xu and the executives from afar.”

    Only then did Guo Zhengming realize and hurriedly released Xu Shaochen’s hand, warmly saying, “Mr. Xu and all the executives, let’s enter the county first.”

    Then, officials from Yunquan County drove ahead, while Xu Shaochen and others followed in their cars into the county.

    The county buildings were old, traffic chaotic. Not a single tall building was visible, and many roads were bumpy.

    There were few young people in the county, mostly the elderly and children.

    As they drove, Xu Shaochen thought his hometown county was impoverished, but Yunquan County was even poorer.

    After more than ten minutes, they finally saw a decent building, though it too seemed quite old.

    Yunquan Hotel.

    “Mr. Xu, these are the room cards. The rooms are ready. We hope you can temporarily stay here.”

    After getting out of the car, Guo Zhengming personally approached, carrying a stack of room cards.

    “Director Guo, how can we do that? Staying here and spending your money is unreasonable.”

    Xu Shaochen declined, knowing that from the look of Yunquan County, the county government had it tough. Helping them save a bit was a small mercy.

    “Mr. Xu, you’ve helped Yunquan County so much. If during your inspection you had to pay for your food and stay, it would disgrace us.”

    “Besides, it’s not the government funding this; the Yunquan Hotel owner sponsored it.”

    Guo Zhengming explained, forcing the room cards into Long Yi’s hands beside Xu Shaochen.

    “Indeed, Mr. Xu, it’s just a gesture of appreciation. After all, I’m a native of Yunquan County.”

    A short, chubby man smiled at Xu Shaochen, his expression filled with flattery.

    He was Wu Changyun, the owner of Yunquan Hotel.

    Providing room and board was not just to show gratitude but also a businessman’s scheme to curry favor with Xu Shaochen.
