I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Su Qing was seething with anger and planned to step on the gas and leave this awful place that had made her lose face.

However, reality dealt her another heavy blow.

She had only driven her pink G-Wagon less than two kilometers when a red warning light on the dashboard suddenly started flashing wildly!

The car's engine emitted a strange, mournful sound, and the water temperature gauge needle shot straight into the red zone.

It was stuck in the mud pit for too long, and the engine was running at high speed, which caused the water tank to burst.

"ah--!!"

In despair, Su Qing slumped onto the steering wheel, letting out her third scream of collapse that day.

"This awful place must be there to curse me!"

The sky had completely darkened.

All around were dark fields and forests, with the occasional chirping of unknown insects adding to the eeriness.

There's no village in sight, no shop in sight.

My cell phone has long since become an expensive brick because of the lack of signal.

She had no choice but to grit her teeth and, at a pace no slower than a tortoise's crawl, slowly inch her way back to the village that had both angered and annoyed her—Jiangjia Village.

When she drove back into the village, she was utterly shocked by what she saw.

She was so distracted that she was only focused on the road ahead and didn't pay any attention to her surroundings.

Now, when she calms down and takes a closer look at the village, she realizes how wrong she was.

This was nowhere near the poor, backward, and remote mountain village she had imagined.

The main road at the entrance of the village is wide and flat, paved with high-quality asphalt, and is even better than some of the main roads in the county town.

Along both sides of the road, at intervals, stands a retro street lamp with a simple and elegant design, emitting a warm orange light, illuminating the entire village as bright as day.

The enormous glass building that had been glimpsed in the distance earlier now radiated a futuristic, ethereal blue light in the night, like a giant sapphire that had fallen to earth, exuding a science fiction vibe.

The entire village is well-planned, clean, tidy, and full of design sense.

This...this is practically a top-tier villa resort hidden deep in the mountains!

As Su Qing drove her chugging luxury car, she felt somewhat out of place in the village.

Just then, her stomach started growling.

Following the enticing aroma of food, she parked her car at the entrance of the village in front of a building that looked like a small shop but was decorated in an artistic style.

The sign at the entrance reads: "Jiangjia Village Visitor Service Center".

Su Qing pushed open the door and went inside.

Then, her worldview was once again refreshed.

She saw that there were several tables of people sitting in the service center, most of whom were elderly people with gray hair.

But in front of each of them was a brand new iPad Pro!

They were wearing reading glasses and skillfully swiping their fingers across the screen.

Su Qing felt like she had wandered onto the wrong film set.

She walked awkwardly to the counter, looked at the delicious-looking farm-style dishes on the menu, and swallowed hard.

"Um... hello, I'd like to buy some food."

She rummaged through her bag, her expression changing.

She had only a few spare large bills on her, and no change at all.

Because there was no signal on the phone, the payment software couldn't be opened at all, and not a single penny could be transferred out.

For the first time in her life, she truly understood what it meant to be "struggling even with a penny to save a hero."

She stood awkwardly in front of the counter, her cheeks burning, and she was even prepared to take off her Cartier watch as collateral.

Just then.

A familiar yet annoying voice rang out behind her.

"Get her some bread and a bottle of milk."

"Put the debt on my tab first."

Su Qing turned around abruptly.

It really was Jiang Chen!

He had changed into a clean and refreshing casual outfit, and he looked handsome and energetic.

He was holding a bottle of mineral water and drinking it.

That bottle of water was the Evian he had just "extorted" from me.

Su Qing's face flushed red instantly.

It's not shyness, it's embarrassment!

In her twenty-two years of life, this was the first time she had ever lost face so much in front of a despicable man because she couldn't afford a loaf of bread!

"I...I'll return it to you later!"

She took the bread and milk from the waiter, and like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she said stubbornly.

Jiang Chen shrugged, looking indifferent.

"Judging by the way your car is smoking, you're definitely not going to be able to leave tonight."

"The village guesthouse, which is the guesthouse that my second uncle converted from his house, is full today because there are many tourists."

He looked Su Qing up and down.

"If you don't mind, we can find you a sofa in the village committee office for the night?"

Just as Su Qing was about to say "I don't want to stay," her stomach growled twice.

Just when the atmosphere was incredibly awkward.

Village head Jiang Shunde rushed in, holding a document.

"General Manager Jiang! General Manager Jiang! You're here!"

Jiang Shunde jogged up to Jiang Chen, handed him the documents, and was extremely respectful, even a little obsequious.

"This is the contract for the second phase of expansion on the fifty acres of land behind the mountain. Please sign it!"

Standing to the side, Su Qing watched the village chief's respectful attitude towards Jiang Chen, and the last bit of pride she had was about to disappear.

Who exactly is this man?

While Jiang Chen was signing the papers, she quietly approached an older woman who was eating sunflower seeds nearby, lowered her voice, and asked curiously:

"Auntie, I have something to ask you."

"Who is this man? Is he the village bully?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman who was eating sunflower seeds looked Su Qing up and down as if she were a fool.

She spat out the sunflower seed shells in her mouth with a "pui" sound and looked at Su Qing with the eyes of someone looking at an alien.

"A village bully?"

The woman's voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly powerful.

"Girl, don't talk nonsense!"

"That's our village's God of Wealth!"

The old woman stretched out her calloused hand, pointed to the brightly lit asphalt road outside, and then to the luminous glass palace in the distance.

"The road you see, those lights, and that amazing greenhouse that automatically grows vegetables—all of that was built for our village by Chenwazi out of his own pocket!"

The woman's face radiated a deep sense of pride and respect.

She smacked her lips and concluded:

"As for his net worth... tsk tsk, we can't possibly calculate that!"

"Anyway, it's definitely much more than the richest person in our county!"

Su Qing's mind went blank with a "buzz".

She stared blankly at the man who was signing the document in a flamboyant manner.

The man who dressed plainly, rode a beat-up electric scooter, and even "extorted" a case of bottled water from her.

Surprisingly... he's a hidden tycoon whose net worth even the village aunties can't figure out?
