Chapter 499

Chen Yang's purpose in coming to the branch company was solely to solve the problem of insufficient cold-chain logistics in Shencheng.

He told Zhao Xiaoxiao, "In the future, Shencheng will serve as the hub for the company's product distribution outward. Besides building a cold storage in each district, we also need to prepare a super-large frozen food city. Our future product sales cannot be limited to agricultural products; we must actively expand into other types of food markets. Only then can we maintain competitiveness!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't expect Chen Yang to also undertake a large frozen food city; she immediately felt enormous pressure. "Boss, if we build a large food city, the land we previously selected might not be enough. Should we go consult Mayor Hu again?"

"Alright, then you go negotiate with Mayor Hu!" Chen Yang still had to make a trip to Hong Kong, then follow Xu Li's investment team back to Qingshui, so he didn't plan to personally meet Hu Shiyou.

Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't expect Chen Yang to let her go alone to meet Hu Shiyou; she said with some worry, "Boss, if you don't go, will Mayor Hu be unhappy?"

Chen Yang encouraged her, saying, "I'll call Mayor Hu to communicate a bit later; you can go with peace of mind!"

Only then did Zhao Xiaoxiao feel relieved and return to her office.

Chen Yang walked around the company internally, then called Hu Shiyou again, and then had Xiao Jian send him to Luohu Port.

After clearing customs, he soon saw Guo Jin waving at him.

"Boss Chen, long time no see, you're getting more and more handsome!"

"Manager Guo, I see you're radiant; you're doing pretty well!" Chen Yang laughed as he shook hands with Guo Jin, returning the compliment.

Guo Jin, while opening the car door for Chen Yang, said with a smile, "My good fortune these days is all thanks to you, Boss Chen. You're truly my great benefactor!"

Chen Yang modestly waved his hand and said, "Manager Guo, you're overpraising me. My smooth sailing in Hong Kong is also thanks to your help in making connections. Speaking of which, you're my great benefactor!"

Guo Jin gently pressed the accelerator, smiling, and said, "Boss Chen, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. From now on, if there's anything in Hong Kong, just tell me what to do."

Chen Yang had Guo Jin drive him to Liu Qingqing's residence. Along the way, he again asked, "How has Wang Haifeng been doing in Macau?"

Guo Jin said, "That guy lost over a hundred million earlier, then his luck turned and he won back tens of millions. Recently, someone from the mainland came, I don't know what they said to him, and then he flew to the Beautiful Country."

Chen Yang guessed it was probably Luo Meiling's report that involved serious criminal evidence against Wang Haifeng. The Deputy Secretary Wang's side surely knew the news in advance and deliberately informed Wang Haifeng to flee.

Although Macau is also under one country, two systems, it has ultimately returned 【to China】. If he doesn't flee in advance, mainland police could easily have him extradited back.

Once Wang Haifeng is caught, the source of his huge wealth becomes a major problem. Deputy Secretary Wang is also likely to be implicated.

To be honest, Chen Yang sincerely hopes Deputy Secretary Wang will fall in Dongjiangsheng's anti-corruption wave.

But even though Deputy Secretary Wang's forces have recently put Chen Yang in a terrible spot, he absolutely dare not get involved in such a high-level power struggle.

Because even if he ultimately succeeded, he would gain nothing; instead, he would be sabotaged behind the scenes by Deputy Secretary Wang's remnants.

Chen Yang doesn't think those bigwigs in Dongjiangsheng would care about the life-or-death danger of a small merchant like him.

And this world never lacks desperate outlaws.

If one lives constantly in danger, making a lot of money is meaningless.

After chatting a while about family matters, Chen Yang suddenly realized the route Guo Jin was taking him felt familiar, and he instinctively asked, "Manager Guo, did you take a wrong turn? This seems to be the way to Miss Zhu's house."

Guo Jin smiled: "Miss Zhu is now staying at her maternal grandfather's place, and this villa has been sold to Miss Liu. All the paperwork here was still handled by me accompanying General Manager Su and Miss Liu."

Chen Yang had authorized Su Mingyue to acquire property in Hong Kong, but he never expected she would buy Zhu Zhu's villa without reporting it to him.

Of course, he didn't need to ask to know this was Liu Qingqing's idea.

After arriving at the destination, Guo Jin drove back.

Chen Yang walked alone to the gate of Liu Qingqing's villa. The security at the entrance, arranged by Guo Jin, proactively opened the gate for him.

Chen Yang walked in slowly and immediately saw a middle-aged Filipina maid pushing a baby stroller, strolling in the garden.

Because it was a bit far away, Chen Yang couldn't clearly see what his precious daughter looked like.

Just as he was about to call out, he saw a familiar figure walk out of the villa.

"Didn't we say we wouldn't meet? Why did you come over?" Liu Qingqing not only didn't drive him away, but also reached out and pulled Chen Yang into the villa.

This treatment caught Chen Yang a bit off guard.

Liu Qingqing had the servant prepare food, then poured Chen Yang a cup of tea.

Chen Yang looked at the tea she handed him, feeling a bit hesitant.

"Don't worry, there's no drug this time." Liu Qingqing drank the hot tea in her hand in one gulp, then poured another cup for Chen Yang.

This time Chen Yang felt embarrassed to refuse again, took the cup, sipped the tea, and said to Liu Qingqing, "May I see my daughter?"

Liu Qingqing nodded and said, "That senior schoolmate of mine already called to let her know your purpose. Today you can even sleep with my daughter if you want; after today, she will be a member of my Liu family."

Chen Yang never expected Lin Wei to call Liu Qingqing, let alone that Liu Qingqing would answer. He concernedly asked Liu Qingqing, "You two didn't argue, did you?"

Liu Qingqing laughed, "I neither compete with her for a man nor for wealth, so what is there to argue about?"

"However, since she is so generous and wants to give my child some compensation, I can privately decide to promise it on the child's behalf first."

"Anyway, you're rich; just give a few billion casually."

"Rest assured, no matter how much money you give the child, I won't take a penny. Let her handle it herself when she comes of age."

Chen Yang originally didn't know how to bring it up. Since Lin Wei had already made things clear with Liu Qingqing, he no longer had any burden. After downing the tea in his hand, he told Liu Qingqing, "I'll give you five hundred million. This money you can use for investment or save for the child."

Liu Qingqing shook her head, "I'm not very interested in investment. Since it's money for the child, let's just put it in the bank!"

Chen Yang felt guilty toward Liu Qingqing inside, and earnestly told her, "Although this money is for the child, if you need it you can also use it freely."

Liu Qingqing laughed, "Senior, I really have no interest in money. From beginning to end, I've just liked you as a person. Too bad you're actually a heartless scoundrel!"

Chen Yang gave an embarrassed laugh.

At that moment, Liu Qingqing suddenly whispered to Chen Yang, "Senior, don't you feel hot?"

Chen Yang, reminded by her, suddenly felt an intense internal dry heat, with a certain part even becoming somewhat uncontrollable.

Moreover, he noticed Liu Qingqing's pretty face gradually turning red, her gaze at him flashing with a scorching light.

"Senior, if you don't want the servant to see, you'd better come back to the bedroom with me now..."

Chen Yang really wanted to give himself a hard slap.

Fooled again!
