I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 230 Going to the Great World

"Yes, I haven't touched it. I even bought more shares recently, right before the Qingdao fire," Shi Guangrong said honestly.

Buying more shares?!
Zhao Yanjing's expression changed, and finally, looking at Shi Guangrong, he said meaningfully:

"Fang Qingye has a very powerful background. Guangrong, you've chosen the right person to follow." After saying that, he patted Shi Guangrong on the shoulder and turned to leave, leaving Shi Guangrong completely bewildered.

Fang Qingye has a powerful background? Just because his second uncle is the head of the county's finance bureau?
A mere county finance bureau chief—Shi Guangrong didn't even feel that was anything special, let alone someone like Zhao Yanjing!

what happened?

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Everyone has their own secrets, and so do I.

After seeing Zhao Yanjing off, Shi Guangrong drove home to happily celebrate the Spring Festival, and of course, he also sent New Year's greetings to his friends.

"Happy Chinese New Year, and may you prosper." This is the text message that Shi Guangrong sends the most.

Fang Qingye naturally received it as well, and he casually replied, "Likewise."

This year, Fang Qingye was more at ease during the Spring Festival because she didn't have to work shifts. Visiting relatives was inevitable, as were gatherings and entertainment with friends and classmates.

It's rare that we didn't visit relatives today. After dinner, the whole family watched TV in the living room. The program was Nanxin TV's own news program.

My dad likes watching this, but my mom isn't interested. However, she basically goes along with her husband—he doesn't watch TV very often anyway.

Aoba didn't like watching the news before, but after his rebirth, especially after participating in some major events in the county this past year, he has started to pay attention to the news.

It was Chen Wan who was broadcasting.

"Last night, an incident occurred at Nanxin Lake in our county where a child fell into the water. Three primary school students were playing by the lake when one of them accidentally slipped and fell in. Fortunately, a passerby saw the accident, and a kind-hearted citizen braved the freezing cold to jump into the icy water and rescue the child. After being taken to the hospital and receiving treatment, the child is now out of danger. We remind all citizens to take good care of their children and strengthen safety education during the holidays."
Upon seeing this news, Zhang Meili, the mother who was eating sunflower seeds, immediately said:
"Look, now that this has happened, we teachers can't have any peace either. Every year before the holidays, we repeatedly remind the students not to swim in the river or play by the lake, but these kids just won't listen! What's so fun about a stinky reservoir?"

Dad was speechless at Mom's complaints. As the principal, student safety was his top priority during both holidays. They'd tried everything from the county education bureau to the school, almost sending teachers to patrol and supervise the river and lake!
Of course, Shirakawa Tetsuya wasn't out of his mind to make such an absurd decision.

“Why don’t you put up a fence along the lake? That would solve some problems, wouldn’t it? You’re a county people’s congress representative, and you don’t even offer any good suggestions, really,” Zhang Meili said again.

"Okay, okay, I'll submit this proposal at this year's People's Congress!"

Fang Qingye did not speak.

Nanxin Lake is located in the southeast of the urban area, between the new and old districts of the county. The lake was originally a huge pit dug for soil extraction during the construction of the railway double track project. Later, water from the Nanxin River was introduced to form an artificial lake with an area of ​​about 1200 mu.

However, due to neglect, the water quality is very poor, and it is now a big, stinking reservoir surrounded by fields, so developers avoid it.

But later, this place was transformed into a scenic area!

Its name is Nanxin Lake Scenic Area, and it has been rated as a AAA-level scenic area by the state, becoming a major highlight of Nanxin County. Besides the scenic area itself, many entertainment and leisure facilities have been built, and I heard it's quite profitable.

Another major function is to increase property prices in the surrounding area. These places were previously unwanted, but once the scenic area was built, they became highly sought-after.

Actually, this project is quite good, as it has both social and economic benefits.

I don't know why real estate tycoons like Song Qingdong, Qian Weimin, and Shi Jingsheng aren't interested either.

You can first try to acquire the land, and then spend your own money to manage the lake and build a scenic area. Wouldn't the land value double?
In later generations, some wealthy real estate developers often did this: first improve the surrounding environment, and then raise housing and land prices accordingly.

Of course, the initial investment is quite large, and developers generally don't do this, nor do they have the vision.

Fang Qingye was lost in thought. The news had ended, and after watching for a while, she got bored and went back to her room to play World of Warcraft online.

Just then, my phone rang. I saw it was Song Dahai calling, so I answered it without thinking.

"Hey, Yezi, what are you doing?"

"Stay at home."

"You didn't visit any relatives?"

"We've been walking for several days in a row, and we finally get a break. Why are we walking again?" Fang Qingye complained.

"That's perfect, let's come to the Great World."

"The Great World? You're at the Great World? Aren't you afraid Chen Meimei will find out?!" Fang Qingye was somewhat surprised. "What's wrong with singing? I'm not doing anything else. Besides, Meimei has been busy visiting relatives these past few days and hasn't had any time, hehe."

The key is in the second half of the sentence.

"No, you know I'm not interested in singing," Fang Qingye refused outright.

"Come on over. I just got here too. Don't stay cooped up at home all day. Come on over! Li Le invited you."

Li Le?

Oh, the Great World is his family's property, and he's in charge of managing it.

Just then, a man's voice came from the phone: "Mr. Fang, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year," Fang Qingye replied.

"Come on, we're all young people, and we live in the same county, let's get to know each other," Li Le said with a laugh on the phone.

"Okay then." Fang Qingye agreed.

They're all inviting me, and if I don't go, it'll make me seem too arrogant.

"Third floor, three private rooms, each with a capacity of 8."

"it is good."

Fang Qingye turned off her computer, put on her down jacket, and prepared to go out.

"Xiao Ye, where are you going? Are you looking for Xiao Ou?" Zhang Meili, Xiao Ye's mother, asked with concern.

"Bai Ou went back to her maternal grandmother's house in Jinghai. Dahai invited me to sing karaoke," Fang Qingye told the truth.

"Hey, I'm warning you, singing is singing, you can't do anything else," Zhang Meili reminded her.

"Mom, what can I do in broad daylight?" Fang Qingye complained before heading out.

Going to karaoke inevitably involves drinking, so Fang Qingye decided not to drive and instead hailed a taxi at the entrance of her residential complex to head straight to the Grand World.

The Grand World Entertainment Center is located in the northeast of the county town, very close to the Chundu Hotel. It is a large entertainment center that integrates a cinema, karaoke bar, restaurants, coffee shops and billiard hall.

Fang Qingye took a taxi there and found the place to be very lively, mostly with people there to watch a movie.

The foreign blockbuster "Avatar".

As soon as Fang Qingye arrived at the entrance of the karaoke bar, a beautiful young woman in a cheongsam greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Fang, please follow me."

Fang Qingye followed the pretty girl up to the third floor and into VIP room 888, a large room with five or six young men sitting inside, each accompanied by a pretty hostess.

Sitting next to Song Dahai was a petite woman who was playing drinking games with him. When she saw Fang Qingye come in, she quickly moved to the side.

If you know each other, greet each other.

Seeing Fang Qingye approaching, Li Le stood up and greeted her:
"Mr. Fang, you've arrived."

"Yes, no need to be so polite, just call me by my name," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Alright, then we won't call each other 'General Manager' or 'Young Master' anymore, we'll just call each other by our first names."

Fang Qingye sat down, and only then did he notice that everyone who came was a rich second-generation from the county town, including Shi Yong, whom he had encountered while eating hot pot with Bai Ou before the Chinese New Year, and they almost got into a conflict.

However, after Fang Qingye went fishing with his father Shi Jingsheng, Shi Yong became much more polite when they met on the road afterward, and even called Fang Qingye "Brother Ye".

After Fang Qingye sat down, Li Le clapped his hands, and three beautiful girls immediately walked in from outside the private room.

They have all kinds of figures, from plump to slender.

This is crazy.
