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

Chapter 441 These two sisters are incredibly lucky.

Li Ye called Fang Qingye in early April to tell her about his wedding on May Day. Fang Qingye then contacted Liu Shuai, and the two decided to each bring their girlfriends to western Sichuan to attend their old classmate's wedding.

All of their classmates graduated and found jobs in the Yangtze River Delta region, with none in the Southwest. If they don't go, then probably no one else will.

To Fang Qingye's surprise, Huang Hua called from Yanjing, saying that he was also going to Western Sichuan to attend a wedding, and proudly told Fang Qingye that he was attending as the bride's sister's boyfriend!
"Brother Fang, I'm family now!" Huang Hua chuckled on the phone.

Why.
Despite her lovely appearance, Liu Ximeiduo couldn't escape this guy's clutches. It's said that in order to pursue Meiduo, he not only chatted with her online, but also frequently took a plane or high-speed train from Beijing to Shanghai on weekends to spend two days with her before returning to Beijing.

Even the toughest girl can't resist this kind of gentle persuasion, right?
Besides, he's handsome, tall, and rich.

"Brother Fang, I've also gotten in touch with your classmate Liu Shuai. I heard you and Sister Bai Ou set off from Jinghai?" Huang Hua asked.

“Yes, the flight is on the afternoon of April 30th, arriving in Chengdu at 7 pm. We'll rest for one night and then head to Aba Prefecture the next morning. Li Ye is getting married on May 2nd, so the timing is perfect,” Fang Qingye replied.

“Okay, I’ll go to Shanghai first to meet Meiduo, Liu Shuai and his girlfriend. We’ll also fly to Chengdu together on April 30th. We’ll meet in Chengdu.”

"OK!"

On the morning of April 30, Fang Qingye arranged her work before leaving get off work. After returning to the nursery and having lunch, she did not go to her workplace. After packing her luggage, she asked Yue Kai to drive directly to Jinghai city. She wanted to pick up Bai Ou from the city court first, and then go directly to the airport.

Yue Kai escorted the two to the security checkpoint and then prepared to leave.

"Mr. Fang, I'll pick you up at the airport when you get back from Chengdu." Fang Qingye nodded, told him to drive carefully on the road, and then dragged his suitcase through security.

After a flight of more than two hours, they arrived at Shuangliu Airport at 7:00 AM sharp. At that time, the subway from the airport to the city center was not yet open, so the two took a taxi directly to the Century City Holiday Hotel in the city center—Li Ye and the others had already arrived, and the rooms had been booked for them.

After checking in at the front desk, the two went up to the 8th floor and knocked on the door of the room next door belonging to Huang Hua and Liu Ximeiduo.

Seeing that it was the two of them calling, Meiduo called out "Sister Bai'ou" and excitedly ran over to hug Bai'ou.

"Alright, Huang Hua, I'm going to live next door to Sister Bai Ou, you can live with Brother Qing Ye!" Mei Duo said to Huang Hua.

Huang Hua looked helplessly at Fang Qingye: "Brother Fang, do you agree?"

"Why wouldn't I agree? Of course I agree!" Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Brother Fang, you... I snore!" Huang Hua complained.

"Just don't sleepwalk and run to the next room." Fang Qingye laughed heartily.

Everyone was chatting and laughing when Liu Shuai and Li Lei, who lived in the opposite room, also came over. Liu Ximei immediately cheered, "Okay, everyone's here! Let's go eat hot pot! I want the spiciest hot pot ever!"

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, he quickly added, "Don't worry, it's Yuanyang!"

The next morning, everyone got up early, packed their luggage, took the subway to Chadianzi Bus Station, and boarded a bus to Bazhou.

Traveling west along National Highway 317, you can see natural landscapes such as forests, valleys, glaciers, and meadows. The scenery in early summer is breathtaking.

It was Liu Shuai and his group's first time visiting western Sichuan. They were full of praise for the beautiful scenery outside the window, and Huang Hua was especially enthusiastic.

"Meiduo, I didn't expect your hometown to be so beautiful. The scenery is no less beautiful than that of the Jiangnan region in the rain."

“But it’s not as wealthy as Jiangnan. So let me ask you, are you willing to live here for the rest of your life?!” Meiduo asked.

"I'm willing as long as you're willing! Just like Li Ye!"

Meiduo rolled her eyes at him after hearing this, then turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, a happy smile quietly creeping onto her face.

After a three-and-a-half-hour bus ride, we finally arrived at Lixian Bus Station. Everyone got off the bus with their luggage. Instead of Li Ye and Gesang, the people who came to pick us up were County Magistrate Zhang, who is in charge of education in Lixian, and Director Wang of the Education Bureau.

"General Manager Fang, welcome, welcome. You must be tired from your journey." County Chief Zhang shook hands with everyone.

“County Chief Zhang, Director Wang, I came to Lixian County for my friend’s wedding. It’s a private matter, how could I dare to disturb you two leaders?” Fang Qingye replied.

"Our Secretary Tang said that from now on, Mr. Fang, whenever you come to Lixian, whether it's for personal or official business, you will be our honored guest! We will treat you with the utmost hospitality!"

"Besides, Li Ye is a celebrity in our Aba Prefecture. His teaching deeds have been reported as an advanced model by the State Education Commission and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League."

"Then I'll trouble you two."

The group got into two cars and checked into the same hotel they had stayed at last time. After settling in, County Chief Zhang said:

"President Fang, this is all arranged. You can rest for a bit now, and I'll have a simple meal with you in half an hour, then take you to Li Ye's new house, which is also in the county town. Secretary Tang will host a banquet for you tonight, including Li Ye's family. Our Governor Luo will also be coming from Ma'erkang City to attend the welcome banquet." Well, Fang Qingye originally wanted a simple meal and to chat with Li Ye, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, but it seems that won't be possible.

It’s hard to refuse such kindness.

When County Chief Zhang and his group left, they took Liu Ximeiduo back to her home. This time, Huang Hua did not go with them.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but that Medo wouldn't let her come along.

After everyone left, Liu Shuai asked curiously, "Qingye, why were the local leaders so polite to you?"

Before Fang Qingye could answer, Huang Hua, standing beside her, laughed and said, "Liu Shuai, don't you know? Brother Fang donated 3000 million yuan to them to solve the problem of private school teachers' salaries. In the eyes of these leaders, he's a god of wealth, so how could they not be polite?!"

"What?! 3000 million?!"

Liu Shuai and Li Lei were both shocked; it was the first time they had heard this news.

"Alright, that's enough!" Fang Qingye glared at Huang Hua.

Fang Qingye had never mentioned this to her classmates, not even Liu Shuai knew about it; it was probably Mei Duo who told Huang Hua.

"Impressive, impressive!" Liu Shuai gave a thumbs up.

"I just did my best," Fang Qingye replied. "Let's all go back to our rooms and rest for a while. We'll go down for dinner later. The local specialties in Lixian County are really delicious." Fang Qingye smiled.

Meanwhile, Liu Ximei arrived at the Education Bureau's residential compound in Director Zhang's car, happily entering her home with her suitcase.

"Dad, Mom, I'm home!" the girl called out loudly.

The family was busy, and when the father, Liu Wenning, saw his daughter, he quickly asked, "Where are President Fang and the others? Have they all been arranged?"

“County Chief Zhang personally picked us up at the station, how could he not have made proper arrangements? Dad, your daughter is back, why don’t you ask me how I am, instead of asking an outsider?” Mei Duo complained, somewhat displeased.

"Hehe, you're doing great, you look so happy," Liu Wenning said with a smile.

"Of course I'm happy! My sister is getting married! Where's my sister?"

"In her room."

Liu Ximei pushed open the door and went in. She saw that besides her sister, there were two other girls who were her sister's best friends.

"Sis, why aren't you dressed up yet? You don't look like a bride at all." Meiduo complained as she looked at her sister, who was still dressed in her usual clothes.

"Meiduo, you're in too much of a hurry. The wedding isn't until tomorrow. You have plenty of time to get ready this afternoon," a girl next to her said with a smile.

"Meiduo, come here." Liu Xigesang said with a serious expression.

"What's wrong, sis?" Meiduo asked, sitting down next to her sister.

"Did you get a boyfriend in college?"

"Huh? How did you know? Did Liu Ye tell you? Did Qingye tell Liu Ye?"

"Never mind that! What's that boy's name? Which school does he go to? Where does he live? What's his character like?"

Liu Xigesang struck a pose like an older sister.

"Huang Hua is from the Central University of Finance and Economics, but he got a guaranteed admission to Shenyang University of Finance and Economics for postgraduate studies. His family is from Peking University, and his character seems alright so far."

“I heard his family is very wealthy? They often take planes and high-speed trains to Shanghai to see you on weekends? What do his parents do?” Gesang asked again.

"He seems quite wealthy, but I haven't asked. I think his father is also a government official, and his mother is, I think, some kind of chairperson. I didn't ask for details," Meiduo replied.

Gesang didn't say anything, but her two best friends looked on with envy.

These two sisters are incredibly lucky.

My sister married the son of a wealthy man from Zhejiang Province. When they got married, the groom's parents bought a large house in the county town and an off-road vehicle for their son, saying it would be convenient for driving on mountain roads.

The younger sister was even more impressive; she directly married the son of an official in Yanjing!
It looks like they can choose to settle down in either Shanghai or Beijing.
