After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 107 Returning to the Village Treatment
Jiang Shu could see a large, densely packed group of villagers waiting at the village entrance from afar.

They wore cheap but unpatched, obviously newly tailored clothes, their eyes full of eager anticipation.

Inside the car. Assistant Yang slowly parked the car, got out, opened the car doors for Jiang Shu and Li Yubai, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Boss, this is Xinghua Village, Jiang's hometown! The conditions are a bit simple, but the villagers are incredibly hospitable, and the food is absolutely delicious!"

Jiang Shu patted Li Yubai's hand: "Let's go, I'll introduce them to you."

Li Yubai's expression was gentle: "Mm."

Several people walked forward.

Jiang Liuyun stood at the very front.

She still had that same gray hair, that same weathered face, and that same obvious smile in her eyes. Behind her, the other villagers also had rosy cheeks, their smiles simple and kind.

However, after seeing Li Yubai get off the car right after Jiang Shu.

For a moment, the breath of all the villagers, including Jiang Liuyun, seemed to freeze!
But that moment of loss of composure was fleeting. The next instant, everyone started chattering:

"Baby! You're finally back! We missed you so much!"

Jiang Shu couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to take Jiang Liuyun's hand: "Mom, and all the uncles and aunts, this is Li Yubai."

The whole village pretended to be clueless!

Assistant Yang strode forward and reminded him, "The one I told you about last time... my boss."

Beside her, Li Erniang exclaimed, "Oh? That woman who has a little over a hundred million, a clean romantic history, and an exceptionally long blooming period—the most beautiful woman in the capital?"

Li Yubai: "..."

So, this is how Assistant Yang introduced himself to them last time?

The villagers were already rubbing their hands and stamping their feet in shock!
"I was wondering why this person looked so divine. It's Li Yubai! I've heard that name so often on TV!"

"Oh my, isn't this a living god of wealth! I have to pay my respects later..."

"Brother Li! Welcome, welcome!"

Li Yubai nodded politely, his voice clear and cool but not distant, instead as melodious as jade: "Hello everyone! I've heard Jiang Shu mention you before, and it's an honor to meet you today."

Jiang Liuyun and Li Yubai exchanged glances: "Since you're here, let's go into the village. We'll be waiting for you to start the feast."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Shu and asked, "Why didn't you bring Ali? I thought he was a terrible picky eater last time. When you left him in Jiangcheng, did you prepare enough cat food and dried fish?"

Jiang Shu paused for a moment: "Ali is a wild child, he's rarely home. He's more comfortable in Jiangcheng than in the village, so Mom, don't worry about him."

Jiang Liuyun truly loved Bengal cats and couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder if Ali misses her grandma."

"..." Jiang Shu tried to comfort her, "I also raise Border Collies and canaries, which are all very cute. You'll be able to see them next time you go to Jiangcheng."

Jiang Liuyun didn't take it seriously and grabbed his daughter's hand: "Let's go, the feast is about to begin."

Jiang Liuyun took two steps forward with Jiang Shu, then turned to Li Yubai and said, "I don't know if you can get used to this remote place. Since you're Jiang Shu's friend, you can sit next to her later."

After saying that, he couldn't help but pat Jiang Shu's head again, his tone quite complicated: "My Shubao is amazing. She's only been away for a few months and she's already made friends with the richest man!"

Jiang Shu nodded and said, "Mom, you should tell everyone in the village that while Li Yubai is here these few days, they should go and learn more about investment from him and see if they can revive those businesses in the village that are on the verge of collapse."

"Investing? That's something we need to learn. It's embarrassing to always rely on government subsidies."

Li Yubai followed leisurely behind, listening to the mother and daughter's warm conversation, his gaze softening as he watched their retreating figures... Assistant Yang followed closely behind Li Yubai: "Boss, let me introduce you. These are apricot trees, one for each household, with red ribbons hanging on them... um, I don't know the specific meaning. Anyway, Madam Jiang's house has the most red ribbons hanging in front of it, the whole village envies them! Boss, look over here, see that mud-brick house? Over there..."

Li Yubai interrupted, "I can see for myself. You're free to do whatever you want, don't follow me."

"This...isn't this inappropriate? Boss, you're new here..."

"With you around, I feel even worse." Li Yu glanced at him. "You're so talkative and annoying. Learn from Gao Jing."

Assistant Yang paused for a few seconds, then said, "So... I'm really free to do whatever I want now!"

"Go."

Assistant Yang strode forward and rushed into the crowd of villagers, his face beaming. He put his arm around the old village chief, Yang, saying, "Village chief, I saw you rubbing your back all the time last time, your bones must be sore. This time I brought you an imported massager..."

Old Man Yang: "Oh! Young Yang, you're too kind!"

Assistant Yang turned around and put his hand on Old Tang's arm again: "Old Tang! I noticed last time that you really like using hand masks. This time I specially brought you a box. It's supposedly the brand used by the Queen of Y Country. It's incredibly effective!"

Grandpa Tang smiled honestly, "This, this is not acceptable..."

"I also brought a whole box of women's face masks from the brand my boss always uses," Assistant Yang said mysteriously. "They cost five thousand yuan each. I don't know if they work for others, but my boss looks even more beautiful and younger lately. Could you take these and distribute them to the ladies in the village later?"

……

She Niu Yang, the special assistant, was very adept at navigating relationships with the villagers, and his relationships with them were extremely harmonious.

Feng Li and his companions, who were standing under the apricot trees in the distance, were deeply moved by what they saw.

Are these the same villagers who used to brandish machetes and threaten others in the cave? Look at their simple and honest appearance...

“I suddenly feel that our benefactor... doesn’t seem to know the villagers’ true colors yet…” Ning Yunzhan chuckled. “Never mind! I won’t say anything! It’s more interesting to discover these things for yourself…”

Yan Yu smiled charmingly, her eyes half-closed: "Let's go, let's serve this 'unfamiliar' little princess..."

On the other side, Jiang Shu followed the large crowd forward, not paying attention to the few familiar faces in the corner.

In the largest open space in the village, there were more than a dozen old and dilapidated round tables, which were already filled with steaming dishes—very ordinary-looking dishes: cabbage, tofu, mushrooms, vermicelli soup... Eighteen dishes per table, each one a typical rural home-style dish.

But having tasted its flavor, Assistant Yang now longed to rush back to his boss and brag: the cabbage was the state banquet-style boiled cabbage, the mushrooms might be black truffles, and the vermicelli in the vermicelli soup was actually top-grade bird's nest...

Li Yubai was unaware of Assistant Yang's hidden struggles.

He followed Jiang Shu forward at a leisurely pace, and finally sat down next to his sugar daddy at a large round table on the side.

Assistant Yang sat down on the other side of Li Yubai as if they were old friends.

Jiang Liuyun, Li Erniang, and the old village chief also sat down at the same table. Then the old village chief patted the seat next to him without ceremony and said, "Xiao Yang, come sit here with me."

Assistant Yang exclaimed, "It's the same if I sit next to you."

The old village chief said, "As people get old, their eyesight fails, and I can't see the vegetables clearly..."

Assistant Yang paused for a moment, then glanced at the harmonious Li Yubai and Jiang Shu, and finally reluctantly stopped being a third wheel, shrinking in front of the village chief: "Then I'll help you pick up some food later."

Jiang Shu looked at the two empty seats on either side of her and Li Yubai and asked curiously, "Aren't these seats occupied?"

“Yes.” Li Erniang glanced at Li Yubai, then pointed meaningfully behind them, “Look, they’re already heading this way…”
