A girls' dormitory at Jiangnan Art Academy.

"Wow, An'an, come quick! A billionaire has appeared in Jiangnan Province! It's trending on social media!"

The girl on the upper bunk suddenly opened the tent, leaned out, and exclaimed in surprise at Qin Nian'an, who was studying with her head down.

"I understand, Qiqi." Qin Nian'an said without looking up. "You have one last exam tomorrow. Have you finished reviewing?"

"ah..."

Upon hearing Qin Nian'an's words, the people in the dormitory let out a wail.

"How are we supposed to review? It's such a thick book, and they haven't even outlined the scope. Are we supposed to memorize it all?"

"Exactly! I must have been out of my mind to choose Li Jianbin's class. If I'd known it would be this torturous, I would never have chosen it!"

"Since I'm going to fail anyway, I might as well take it easy and watch some videos to get some enjoyment..."

"Me too" x3.

Qin Nian'an knew her roommates' personalities; they wouldn't be anxious until two hours before the exam, so she didn't try to persuade them further.

Fortunately, everyone was quietly scrolling through their phones and not chatting too loudly, which allowed her to concentrate on reviewing for the professional exam she would be taking the next day.

That same night, another major event occurred in Jiangnan Province.

Headquarters of Jiangnan Provincial Television Station.

The person in charge, Chen Zhiqiang, had his pre-arranged news plan for tomorrow disrupted by a phone call from a senior executive.

As soon as he hung up the call, he immediately dialed his assistant's number.

"Ling Mei, immediately call the writing department and tell them that all negative and neutral articles about Mr. Qin tonight are to be scrapped and rewritten! There is only one requirement: praise Mr. Qin to the fullest extent possible, from any angle, as long as it fits the theme."

He paused, then turned his chair to face the floor-to-ceiling window, where the night was deep.

"Tell them that time is of the essence. I need to see a finished manuscript within two hours, not even a minute later."

The employee, who was woken up by a phone call to write an article, was completely bewildered.

Praise?

Wait, didn't Mr. Qin just state that he was going to warn the other party about their behavior? How come he changed his mind again as soon as he lay down?

Furthermore, they don't provide any background or experience. Do they think they can fabricate something out of nothing?

After complaining, there was nothing they could do. They had been given a strict order from above, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and write the manuscript.

the other side.

In a small manor, the butler, dressed in a tuxedo, suddenly received a message. After reading it, he knocked on the door of the master bedroom, disregarding the fact that it was already 1 a.m.

dong dong dong.

"What's wrong?" The woman on the bed had clearly just fallen asleep, and now she was even more awake, her eyes glazed over.

"It's okay, you can go back to sleep," Xiao Mingyuan said softly, then quietly got up and left.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Mingyuan closed the bedroom door, yawned, and walked to the study next door, his face full of sleepiness.

"Sir, the group's information department sent an urgent message. It's of great importance, and I have to inform you immediately." The butler explained as he handed over a cup of refreshing tea.

"Speak," Xiao Mingyuan said, twisting his neck and taking a sip of his tea.

"A holding company called Zhenshi Group has just been successfully registered, with a registered capital of 300 billion yuan. Here is the company's information; please take a look."

Xiao Mingyuan's drowsiness was instantly dispelled by the 300 billion yuan. He picked up the document and examined it with sharp eyes.

Zhenshi Group

Registered capital: 300 billion

[Legal Representative: Qin Zheng]

...

"It's him." Xiao Mingyuan said in a daze after reading the company's information. "This Mr. Qin is really high-profile, as if he's afraid we won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Prepare a visiting card and send it to Longhu Manor first thing tomorrow morning. Go and rest."

"Yes, sir." The butler nodded and left the study.

Xiao Mingyuan took out his phone and opened a chat group. There were only ten people in the group, who happened to be the top ten richest people in Jiangnan Province.

The group chat had already started buzzing, and he was clearly not the only one who had been woken up by the news.

Zhang Hongbin (the second son): "Does anyone know who this Mr. Qin is? My men went to Beijing, but they couldn't find anything."

Lin Zhenhai (the third son): "This is a huge move. They invested 300 billion yuan quietly. It's so shocking that I can't sleep at all now."

Zhou Yun (Fourth Brother): "This Mr. Qin is really high-profile. Do you think the TV station will still report on him tomorrow?"

Lin Zhenhai (Third Brother): "What, are you afraid that you'll be the only one in Jiangnan Province to be criticized, making things awkward?"

Zhao Mingwei (Fifth Brother): "Given the speed at which the government's top brass is handling things, isn't their attitude clear enough? Old Zhou, the 'strong' are always lonely; you're destined to never find a partner in this life."

Zhou Yun (Fourth Brother): "Alright, I'm tired of talking about this after all these years. @Xiao Mingyuan, President Xiao, do you have any inside information you can share with everyone? You know, you point us wherever you want, and we follow!"

Seeing that Zhou Yun was still trying to be clever, Xiao Mingyuan smiled helplessly and then sent two words.

Xiao Mingyuan (the eldest): "Attitude, visiting card."

Zhou Yun (the fourth brother): "It's all thanks to the eldest brother's quick thinking; I didn't even think of this."

Lin Zhenhai (Third Brother): "Out of ten people in the group, you were the only one who didn't think to visit. With your intuition, how did you end up fourth in Jiangnan Province?"

Zhou Yun (Fourth Son): "You just have a good father, what, you don't?"

"Even with a powerful father, we wouldn't dare block the national highway!"

Seeing that Xiao Mingyuan didn't say anything else, everyone started teasing Zhou Yun again, and the group chat was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The next day, before nine o'clock, a row of luxury cars was parked in front of the gate of Longhu Manor.

Besides the top ten richest people, there are also some well-known local entrepreneurs, one of whom is someone no one expected.

Vice Governor Ma Hongming also came to Longhu Manor.

"Vice Governor Ma! What brings you here too!" Everyone rushed forward to greet him.

Ma Hongming nodded slightly and responded to each question, then his gaze fell on the tightly closed gate of the manor.

"Vice Governor Ma, look at this couplet, how powerful it is!" Someone couldn't help but probe Ma Hongming's purpose.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ma Hongming. When they first arrived, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw the horizontal scroll and the couplet.

【Ding Shan He】

[A single residence commands respect across the four seas; its grandeur reaches the heavens.]

That guy in the manor has an incredibly arrogant tone.

These ten short characters exude an aura of dominance over the world.

However, thinking about what the other party did yesterday, they suddenly felt that this was normal. After all, even the registered group name is Zhenshi, so what is a couplet?

This Mr. Qin has always been high-profile.

Ma Hongming naturally noticed the couplet. He frowned, clearly somewhat dissatisfied, but when he thought about how the Zhenshi Group, registered by Qin Zheng, played a pivotal role in the development of Jiangnan Province, his displeasure quickly disappeared.

It's just a couplet; there's no need to make a big deal out of it.

Seeing that Ma Hongming remained silent, no one wanted to make a fool of themselves, and they all waited quietly for a reply from inside.

Inside the manor, Qin Zheng's family was having breakfast.

Lu Cheng'an had already received all the visiting cards. He said softly to Qin Zheng, "Master, there are quite a few people outside. The people behind them all want to schedule a time to visit you."

Qin Zheng picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped his mouth, his tone indifferent, "I won't see you."

Is he some kind of rare animal? Everyone wanted to come and see him as soon as he moved in.

Besides, given the social standing of these people from Jiangnan Province, none of them are worthy of his meeting.

I'll send out the invitations in a couple of days, and then we'll see them again on the housewarming party.

Lu Cheng'an understood and said again, "Sir, there is a guest with a rather special identity. He is the Vice Governor of Jiangnan Province, in charge of economic investment and construction in Jiangnan Province. Would you like to see him?"

In Lu Cheng'an's eyes, government officials and those wealthy people are different, and it is always good to build good relationships with them, which will also facilitate the Zhenshi Group's subsequent investments.

Even the most prestigious families in the capital treat people of this caliber with utmost respect.

Presumably Mr. Qin will let Ma Hongming in, and he can then instruct people to prepare tea for the reception room.

Lu Cheng'an thought to himself.

When Qin Mao and the others heard that the vice governor of Jiangnan Province was requesting an audience, they all looked at Qin Zheng with surprise and anticipation in their eyes.

In their inherent understanding, official background has always been the most important factor. There has been a saying since ancient times that "the common people cannot fight against the officials." The "common people" here naturally include merchants.

The Qin family, nowadays, are merchants.

How could it possibly attract the personal visit of a province's vice governor?

What exactly is your family's background?

and also.

The old man will probably meet this person.

As they were thinking this, they suddenly saw Qin Zheng speak, saying the same two words again.

"not see."
