In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

Once the residents have signed the agreement, the demolition team will arrive.

In order to speed up the process, Guangming District did not even conduct a complete and detailed project bidding process.

The bidding process was completed in just three days, and a local construction company in Jingzhou City was chosen to carry out the project construction.

The reason... is naturally that this company offered a low price and promised to complete the construction within six months.

At the end of the month, Chen Luo received an invitation from Lu Zheng'an.

Lu Yike and Liu Mingyu have already registered their marriage.

The Lu family does not intend to be too ostentatious.

The wedding should be simple; just invite some relatives, friends, and colleagues to have a lively celebration.

Just then, Chen Luo finished most of his work. The renovation of the old city was on track, the main structure of Yuehu University was completed, and now it was time to build the decoration and laboratories. The industrial park was also progressing rapidly, and in two months, the overseas research institutes would be able to be moved back to China.

It was Saturday, and Chen Luo's family was all ready by morning. Chen Zhengxi was dressed in a beautiful rainbow princess dress, while Chen Zhengshu wore a handsome silver suit. The two little ones had a task: they were to be the flower girl and the one rolling on the bed at the wedding.

Chen Luo was dressed as usual, in an executive jacket, but his hair was styled more carefully.

Zhang Nian, dressed in a purple dress, and her family of four, after getting ready, drove to the location indicated on Lu Zheng'an's invitation.

This is a private mountain resort that usually hosts picnics and parties, but now it has been transformed into a wedding venue.

There weren't many people attending the wedding; it was mostly the Lu family and Liu Mingyu's close relatives, plus some cadres from Handong.

That adds up to about a hundred people.

As soon as Chen Luo got out of the car, Lu Yike and Liu Mingyu came to greet him.

"Secretary Chen!"

"You two are the stars of the day, so don't be shy."

Chen Luo smiled and greeted the newlyweds before walking toward Lu Zheng'an and Liu's father.

"Brother Lu, congratulations! This must be Director Liu, right?"

Liu Mingyu's father was no ordinary person; he was a deputy director of the Health Commission, a deputy provincial-level cadre. Of course, he was not on par with the Lu family.

"Secretary Chen, this is our first meeting. Thank you for taking care of my Mingyu!"

Mr. Liu stepped forward and grasped Chen Luo's hands tightly. To be honest, he was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"You're welcome, Director Liu. Mingyu is very diligent in his work, and as his superior, I will naturally help him if I can."

"Come on, Brother Chen, I'll take you to meet my elder brother and father. They've been wanting to see you for a long time."

Chen Luo nodded, and Liu's father also consciously refrained from speaking.

After crossing the lawn, Chen Luo arrived at the villa's house, led by Lu Zheng'an.

Inside the room sat three people. One was an elderly man with gray hair, sitting steadily in the center. On either side of him was a resolute man with three wheat ears and three stars, who looked somewhat like Lu Zheng'an and was obviously Lu Zheng'an's elder brother. The other was someone Chen Luo was very familiar with: Governor Liu.

"Dad, Big Brother, Chen Luo is here."

Lu Zheng'an spoke first, then introduced Chen Luo: "This is my father."

"Hello, Mr. Lu!"

Chen Luo's very polite greeting brought a bright smile to Old Master Lu's face. "Good lad! Full of energy, with a full forehead, your future is full of possibilities!"

"This is my older brother."

"Hello, Mr. Lu!"

"I've heard the Grand Secretary mention you; you're quite good!"

"Sit down and let's talk."

As soon as Elder Lu spoke, Chen Luo and Lu Zheng'an sat down.

"Thank you for your help the other day, Comrade Chen Luo. Yi Ke is my only granddaughter, and I love her the most. I heard she was very sad during that time. Sigh, when you get old, you become useless. Some people don't even give an old man face anymore."

Chen Luo naturally understood what Old Master Lu meant; it was nothing more than Lu Yike's transfer to the position of Director of the Supervision Office.

"Dad, if you ask me, it's just that the Zhong family has overstepped their bounds. They transferred their son-in-law to Handong a while ago and that was it."

Now they've brought their daughter to Handong too. That Zhong Xiaoai has absolutely no achievements to speak of in Beijing; she's shameless.

Lu Zheng'an was very unhappy about this.

At this moment, Lu Zheng'an's elder brother spoke up.

"Zheng'an, watch your step!"

Governor Liu smiled and took over the conversation.

"It's all about timing, fate, and luck. Sometimes coming to a place doesn't guarantee success; you might even fail there."

That's a very subtle statement.

The five talked for a while, and it was about an hour later that they left the room together.

Almost all the invited people had arrived at the venue.

This included Wu Chunlin, Li Dakang, Gao Yuliang, Yang Yanhua, and other cadres from Handong.

Chen Luo even spotted two interesting figures.

Zhong Xiaoai and Hou Liangping!

Seeing Chen Luo looking at the two of them with great interest, Lu Zheng'an, who was standing to the side, immediately began to explain.

"This couple came representing the Zhong family. My father and the Zhong family used to have a decent relationship, and we hadn't originally invited them... but they insisted on coming. They're really shameless!"

Chen Luo smiled and indicated that he understood.

Whether they come or not is no longer important.

The wedding is about to begin.

When the bride and groom came out from behind the curtain, in front of them were Chen Zhengshu and Chen Zhengxi, each carrying a flower basket and constantly throwing flower petals into the air.

Time slips away bit by bit.

During this time, Zhong Xiaoai intended to greet the Lu family, but no one from the Lu family paid any attention to her. To this day, the Zhong family still doesn't know how they offended the Lu family...

After several weeks of recovery, Hou Liangping has regained his weight and looks quite energetic. However, he is looking around and is clearly shocked.

Although there aren't many people watching, their rank is incredibly high!

When he married Zhong Xiaoai, only the Zhong family was present; the other distinguished guests were in another hall, and Hou Liangping didn't even have the chance to see them.

"Tsk, wife, the Lu family's pomp and circumstance are truly impressive!"

Listening to Hou Liangping's感慨, Zhong Xiaoai slightly frowned.

"Our wedding was much grander than this."

"Yes, yes, you're right, wife."

I heard that Lu Yike used to like Chen Hai, but unfortunately, that idiot Chen Hai…”

Zhong Xiaoai listened attentively until Hou Liangping finished telling her about Lu Yike and Chen Hai, at which point Zhong Xiaoai suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Yeah! Getting Chen Hai is easy enough, isn't it?"

It might not be easy to do it openly.

But doesn't Chen Hai have a woman by his side right now? That Tang Chuchu is no ordinary woman!

If used properly, this could absolutely ruin Chen Hai, and even destroy his entire family!

"Huh? Honey, you mean Tang Chuchu?"

"Yes, this woman is not simple. Her son is not Cai Chenggong. She is very scheming. Do you think a woman like this would really like Chen Hai?"

A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole. Using Tang Chuchu to deal with someone like Chen Hai is the best choice!

A man who has been yearning for love for years suddenly encounters such a gentle and beautiful woman—wouldn't he be captivated? I don't believe it!
