A good life starts with blind date

Chapter 287 Xiaoyun is in love
Greece's landmass is predominantly mountainous, with about 75% of its territory consisting of mountains. Only a small, low-lying plain is distributed along the coast, and the land is infertile. Apart from its relatively good geographical location, it has no other advantages.

The Pindus Mountains begin in Albania and extend to central Greece.

On a small hill.

Jiang Ning got off the helicopter and stood on the high ground looking around.

We met with the Greek government and confirmed our investment intentions.

They came to conduct an on-site inspection, accompanied by a large group of government officials.

Looking around, although the land in Greece is barren, it is still much better than the mountainous areas of my hometown, North An. Almost everything in sight is covered with vegetation, and there are only a few bare hills.

Unlike my hometown, most of the mountainous areas are barren.

"You're giving me all of this land?"

"That's fine too. How much are you planning to invest?"

"How about five hundred million euros?"

"Great."

"The price is too high, I don't want it."

"We will conduct a study, and we are sure it will satisfy you."

"Give me a few more small islands."

"No problem at all."

With a few words, the basic framework was finalized, and the group flew back to Athens.

There are too many countries in Europe, and land resources are unevenly distributed.

Moreover, some countries have policy restrictions that have prevented a breakthrough.

It's all a small fight.

Since the Greek government is sincere, it doesn't matter if they invest some money.

At least 100,000 hectares of land, which is not small by European standards.

Greece boasts a unique natural environment and a stable political situation. It would be nice to develop a few islands and take a vacation there when you have time, perhaps even boating or fishing in the Aegean Sea.

After attending a banquet, Jiang Ning and Seville went to Spain.

……

Inside a hotel in Northwest Washington, D.C.

Brick entered the suite, his expression grim.

Metses greeted him with a smile, pretending not to see him.

"What do you want to show me?"

There's a reason why Brick looks unwell.

I didn't want to deal with this guy, but I ended up being threatened.

Tell him you have something to show him.

That's why I came over.

He was already thinking about how to teach this damn bastard a lesson.

“I’ve received some items; Mr. Brick might want to take a look.”

Metses turned on the computer and did a couple of things.

Turn the screen around so Brick can see it clearly.

"Fuck!"

Brick was shocked at first sight and no longer cared about being polite.

Directly uttered foul language.

Metses clicked his tongue twice: "How could scum like you be elected as a congressman? American politics is truly dark. I feel sorry for your voters. Playing with underage girls, do you think I would sentence you to how many years in prison if I released these disgusting videos to the media? And your grandson, raping underage girls, how many years would he get?"

"fuck, fuck, fuck"

Brick cursed angrily, "You son of a bitch, Quess, I won't let this son of a bitch get away with this!"

Metses lit a cigar and said slowly, "I apologize, but I have bad news for you. Mr. Quess has taken the money from the sale of the farm to go sheep farming in New Zealand. You probably won't have a chance to see him again. You should think carefully about whether the Federal Court will spare you."

Brick's face darkened: "What do you want?"

Metses said, "I just want you, this scum, to be punished by law."

Brick's expression changed; he wanted to be more assertive.

But they lacked confidence.

If he were an ordinary person, he could still manage to handle it.

But he can't handle rich people.

Brick's expression shifted between light and dark for a moment before he had no choice but to lower his proud head: "What will it take for you to let me go?"

"That's right!"

Metses stubbed out his cigar and shifted his posture. He took out a document, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it towards him: "Take a look at this first..."

……

At the end of September, Jiang Ning flew to Washington.

In the hotel suite, after showering and waiting a while, Metses and Brick arrived.

Brick had already adjusted his mindset and shook hands with Jiang Ning with enthusiasm and grace.

He remains the same upright and selfless legislator.

Politicians are natural actors...

Her acting skills are far superior to those of today's popular celebrities.

We chatted for half an hour, and then I saw the person off.

Jiang Ning asked, "Did this guy really surrender?"

"Of course!"

"If he doesn't want to lose his seat as a senator, he has no choice but to obey," Metses said.

Jiang Ning patted the sofa armrest: "There will be senator elections next year, right?"

"Yes."

Metses nodded and said, "Boss, we need to find a way to support a few members of parliament. Without our seats in parliament, we will be in a very passive position in many things. If someone in parliament speaks up for us, we can avoid a lot of trouble."

Jiang Ning asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Metses said, "The essence of politics is the distribution of interests. Behind every parliamentary seat is an interest group. As long as the boss is willing to share the benefits, it is not difficult to find a few proxies in parliament."

Jiang Ning asked, "How do I operate the equipment?"

Metses said, "I heard that the Nate family plans to sell a portion of their stake in a ranch in New Mexico. I suggest that the boss take over. If the ranch is run well, the Nate family will likely become your friends."

Jiang Ning understood and pondered for a while: "Your suggestion is excellent. Please arrange an appointment with Mr. Ted for me."

"Ok!"

Metses readily agreed.

The following day, Jiang Ningfei went to Texas.

Inside Arlington's family office.

As Jiang Ning signed the document, he listened to Deng Xiaoyun's work report.

The main question is how much money was spent and where it went.

Which expenditures were problematic, etc.

After Jiang Ning finished signing the documents and giving her report, she asked, "How are your aunt and uncle doing? Are they adjusting well?"

Deng Xiaoyun said, "She can adapt. Don't underestimate my mom; she's incredibly adaptable."

Jiang Ning nodded and asked, "When are you going to find a partner?"

"what?"

Deng Xiaoyun glared at him: "I'm your older sister, show me some respect!"

"It will be the 29th of the lunar year soon."

"go to hell!"

Deng Xiaoyun punched him and stormed off angrily.

Jiang Ning scratched her head, genuinely worried for her aunt and uncle.

Deng Xiaoyun is a year older than him, and it will be 2025 in just two months.

She's 29 and still not married; she's really going to be a spinster.

After spending the night in Arlington, we flew to Meigo Ranch the next day.

As October approaches, the ranch has already become deserted.

After inspecting the area, Jiang Ning invited her aunt and uncle to Villa No. 1 for a chat.

The two are still learning English and do not have any skills to be competent for their jobs on their own. For the time being, they are responsible for managing the ranch house and doing odd jobs to learn skills. Once they get their driver's licenses, they will become drivers, as drivers earn high salaries.

After chatting for a few minutes, the topic turned to Deng Xiaoyun.

Jiang Ning asked, "Sister Xiaoyun, are you really not looking for a boyfriend?"

Zhang Yufang hesitated for a moment: "She's dating a foreigner."

"what?"

Jiang Ning was so surprised: "Really? I asked her yesterday, why didn't she say anything?"

Zhang Yufang said, "She won't let me say."

Jiang Ning became interested: "What's it for? Have you guys seen it before?"

Zhang Yufang said, "He's also a farm worker, the mechanic."
