The village beauty and me!

Sun Laohu's expression immediately changed.

He frowned and muttered, "Why bring up things from the past?"

"You two have had a few days of peace and quiet, and now you've forgotten who you are?"

"The Ma family was able to deal with us so easily back then, and now their power is at its zenith. How can we, a few defeated soldiers, possibly fight them?"

"Take my advice, forget the past and live a down-to-earth life."

Crossing the River Dragon said seriously, "Tiger, just from what you just said, I can tell that you are definitely not convinced."

"To tell you the truth, the Ma family may seem to be doing very well on the surface, but it's actually a mess inside."

"My main purpose in coming back this time is to expose all the dirty things the Ma family did in the past."

"We have solid evidence, and we're not just talking about it."

"If I remember correctly, some of those who worked under you back then have risen to prominence, but they have always been suppressed by the Ma family and have never been able to get ahead."

"If we can join forces and bring down the Ma family, then you will ultimately be in control of the underground forces in Dongjiang City."

  

Sun Laohu snorted, "Trying to make empty promises, huh? Even if you really bring down the Ma family, wouldn't you want a piece of the pie?"

"Wouldn't Li Saifeng be envious if she saw this?"

Guojianglong chuckled, "I'm doing alright abroad now, I've long lost interest in China."

"As for Li Saifeng, she only cares about making money now and doesn't care about anything else."

"To tell you the truth, Li Saifeng just made a fortune, a profit of several hundred million."

Sun Laohu was skeptical, but Chen Huan, who was listening nearby, understood the gist of it.

Smiling, she asked, "Sister Feng, was the large sum of money he mentioned referring to the Ma family's commercial building?"

"Is it all taken care of?"

Li Saifeng covered her mouth and giggled, completely disregarding any semblance of modesty.

She reached out and affectionately put her arm around Chen Huan's shoulder, saying softly, "Isn't it all thanks to you?"

"I don't know how you did it, but now there are absolutely no strange occurrences in those two commercial buildings."

"After my people investigated on-site and did a live broadcast, the news had already spread."

"After pressure was put in by the lawyer I hired, the relevant departments responded and quickly lifted the ban on those two buildings."

"According to the contract, those two buildings are now my legal assets, Li Saifeng."

"You only need to pay a handling fee of over 20 million, and there won't be any other trouble."

No wonder Li Saifeng put in such a great effort today; here's the reason.

"I'll take care of the handling fee for you soon, Sister Feng. Remember to keep your promise," Chen Huan said with a smile.

Li Saifeng put her arm around his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, little brother. You helped your sister solve such a big problem and even saved her life."

"I'll give you a building, no problem at all. We can talk about it in detail later when we have time."

Sun Laohu watched Li Saifeng and Chen Huan's interaction and couldn't help but look strange.

He slowly said, "That old bastard Guojianglong was right, you two really are having an affair. When did it start?"

Li Saifeng blushed. "You two frivolous fellows, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for disregarding our past relationship!"

Sun Laohu and Guojianglong exchanged a glance, each suppressing their laughter, and stopped talking about the topic.

The restaurant's opening ceremony was successfully completed.

After chatting with Sun Laohu and the others for a while, Chen Huan went directly to see his sister-in-law.

In his heart, of all the guests present today, his sister-in-law was the most important.

The first thing Li Chunlan did upon seeing Chen Huan was to immediately grab her hand and ask with slight concern, "Who were those people just now?"

"I heard from Fatty that you used to be involved in organized crime. You've gone astray, how come you're associating with these people?"

Chen Huan awkwardly explained, "That's all in the past. He has turned over a new leaf and learned his lesson. He's now doing legitimate business."

"Besides, didn't you see it yourself just now? When others came to cause trouble, it was thanks to their help that they were able to stop it."

"Otherwise, the restaurant that I've invested so much money and effort in will be bankrupt as soon as it opens."

Upon hearing Chen Huan's words, Li Chunlan's expression softened considerably. "If that's the case, then they seem like decent people."

"It's really not easy to do business these days. So many people are envious. Chen Huan, you should be aware of that and not push yourself too hard."

Chen Huan quickly offered some words of comfort, which finally put Li Chunlan at ease enough to sit down.

"Boss Chen, you were quite impressive today, it really opened my eyes," Zhao Jingjing teased with a smile.

Chen Huan scratched his head, "It's all because my friends are giving me face."

"I really want to thank you today for staying with my sister-in-law the whole time. You've worked so hard."

Zhao Jingjing snorted, "No need for thanks, just keep it in mind."

Chen Huan blinked. "I will remember everything you have done for me."

"If you're unhappy staying in the village managing those things, I'll arrange a seat for you at this restaurant, how about that?"

Zhao Jingjing pursed her lips and said, "I'm satisfied as long as you have this thought."

"However, I have to go back to the city soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to share your burdens any longer."

Chen Huan was taken aback. "Why? Are you still angry with me? Do you blame me for neglecting you lately?"

Zhao Jingjing pouted, "I'm not that petty."

"You forgot that I'm still a college student. Summer vacation is almost over, and I have to go back to school soon."

Chen Huan then realized, "Time really flies."

Looking back now, I realize that just over two weeks ago I was living a life of aimlessness and despair in the village, feeling like I was living a life worse than death.

The changes are now enormous.

All of this seemed like a dream from yesterday, and even made him feel very unreal.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy that I'm leaving?"

"How about I quit university and stay here to help you?" Zhao Jingjing noticed that Chen Huan seemed a little lost in thought and misunderstood his intentions.

Chen Huan smiled and said, "You still have to finish university. After you graduate, I'll reserve a more suitable and better position for you here."

"During this period, salaries will continue to be paid."

Zhao Jingjing looked slightly disappointed; this was clearly not the answer she had hoped for.

However, he didn't say much, but just lowered his head.

A moment of silence fell, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

At this moment, Li Chunlan said, "By the way, our village chief Xu asked me to tell you that he wishes you a prosperous business and that you will make a fortune every day."

"Xu Huifang?" Chen Huan blinked.

He had almost forgotten that such a person existed.

I didn't expect the other party to be so thoughtful.

"I originally wanted to invite her to come and join in the fun, but she seemed a little embarrassed," Li Chunlan said slowly.

Chen Huan scratched his head. "If they don't want to come, they don't have to."

"By the way, she hasn't been in the village lately. I bet she's up to something again, trying to stir up trouble. I hope she doesn't cause me any more problems."

Li Chunlan rolled her eyes at him. "Why do you look down on people like that?"

"Village Chief Xu has learned from her previous mistake. Besides, we can't blame her for that."

"They've started researching a new project, and it looks great..."

Hearing his sister-in-law say that, Chen Huan's heart clenched.
