Chapter 796

The old man wiped his hands hard on his clothes and shook hands with Zuo Xingqing.

"Leader, hello, leader, hello. I didn't know you were coming, sorry for the neglect."

"Not at all!" Zuo Xingqing said with a smile: "It's us who came uninvited, sorry for the disturbance."

"You two stop being polite." Zhou Andong introduced the uncles and aunt to the two leaders.

Zuo Xingqing said with a smile: "I just like eating boiled corn; every year, relatives from my hometown send me a few cobs."

The old man said with a smile: "When you leave tonight, everyone take a few cobs back."

"Alright!" Meng Tong Huai Zhi squatted on the ground, tearing the corn husks, "I haven't eaten boiled corn for a long time."

Zhao Jin squatted beside Meng Tong Huai Zhi, picked up a corn cob, weighed it in his hand: "This big cob, the corn grew well this year."

The old man nodded: "The rain was good this year; as long as there are two more rains in August and September, this year's harvest won't be bad."

Zuo Xingqing picked up a corn cob, pinched the corn kernels, and the corn milk burst out.

"Whoa, so tender, it must be delicious."

"Old corn is more fragrant when boiled; wait another ten days or half a month and it will be delicious." If Meng Tong Huai Zhi didn't poke Zuo Xingqing twice, he would feel blocked in his heart.

Zhao Jin hurriedly said: "Everyone has their own preferences; when it comes to eating, everyone has their own taste."

Three big leaders, squatting on the ground without any airs, were tearing corn husks with a large group of people, and some were picking edamame, then throwing them into two large basins in the middle.

Soon, Wu Chao and Yuan Ying returned, and Zhou Andong's four aunts-in-law, with their daughters-in-law and nieces, started preparing dinner, each full of energy.

Borrowing the light of their nephew, their Yuan family had really gained face this time. In the future, Yuan Hongbiao's side wouldn't dare to hold their heads high in front of them, right?

Seeing Jian Qiu mixed milk for the child. After the little one finished drinking, she lay in her arms and fell asleep. Then she went into the room, put the child on the kang, and came out to help with dinner, doing some odd jobs.

………………

Yuan Hongbiao had a cigarette in his mouth, his legs on the desk, playing with three dice in his hand.

He looked very leisurely, but judging from his tightly furrowed brows, the drama inside must be very exciting.

"Bang!"

The office door was bumped open, and then with another bang, it hit the protruding windowsill.

Yuan Hongbiao looked at Liang Zhen, who had suddenly burst in, panting.

"Did your wife die, or did your son die, rushing like this?"

Liang Zhen's face was red, not knowing if it was from the heat or from holding it in. He opened his mouth, stammering.

"Mayor, I only have one son, can you stop cursing him and let him grow up happily?"

Yuan Hongbiao rolled his eyes: "Why don't you say, let me stop cursing your wife?"

Liang Zhen said aggrievedly: "Wives can be replaced, but if you replace a wife, you might not be able to have another son? If you have a girl, our old Liang family's root will be broken."

"Ha!" Yuan Hongbiao gave a thumbs up, looking impressed, "You really said it right, you actually left me speechless."

"Right!" Liang Zhen giggled, then remembered the purpose of his visit, "Mayor, Zuo Xinghua came to see Zhou Andong, and Meng Tong Huai Zhi and Zhao Jin from Qishi are also here."

"What?" Yuan Hongbiao put his feet down, stood up with a jerk, "When did this happen?"

Liang Zhen said: "It was today. I was at the mine and received a call from Hu San."

Yuan Hongbiao thought for a while; "It seems they came to find Zhou Andong for investment. You go back to the village and find out the situation."

Liang Zhen said worriedly: "Does this have any impact on us attracting Zhou Andong to invest?"

Yuan Hongbiao became a bit irritable. If there was really a big project to invest in, how could Zhou Andong look at his mines?

"You'd better go back first and see the situation before talking."

"Alright!" Liang Zhen turned and left.

"Pah!" Yuan Hongbiao spat the cigarette in his mouth onto the ground, his face a bit ferocious as he cursed.

"Damn it, because of you, I even gave up my son. If you don't invest, don't blame me for not being sentimental."

……………

Hefei!

Hearing Lao Meng was sitting in his office smoking when the phone on his desk rang suddenly.

Hearing Lao Meng reached out quickly and picked it up: "I am Hearing Lao Meng!"

An excited shout came from the receiver: "Boss Meng, all four thousand VCDs have been sold out."

"Bang!"

Hearing Lao Meng excitedly slammed his fist on the table, his face flushed red.

"Good, good."

The reason there had been no large-scale publicity, just small-scale trouble, was because he had no money.

Now that the VCDs were sold out, 18,888 each, four thousand units were nearly 80 million.

This money was earned coolly; Hearing Lao Meng was trembling all over. This money was completely enough to invest in publicity.

"Smack!" Hearing Lao Meng hung up the phone and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this moment, Lao Sun knocked on the door and entered. Outside, he had heard Hearing Lao Meng's laughter, so he didn't need to ask to know that the VCDs must have been sold out.

"Good news?"

The smile remained on Hearing Lao Meng's face: "All sold out."

Lao Sun couldn't help but laugh: "Zhou Andong is Zhou Andong, you can't help but admire him."

"Yes!" Hearing Lao Meng was very moved, "We had no money, and he said those thieves would rush to send money to us. Sure enough, these 70-plus million came, completely enough."

Lao Sun took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart: "We can start the publicity plan."

Hearing Lao Meng nodded: "Notify the publicity department, hold a press conference tomorrow. Also, contact major TV stations and invest in advertisements."

Lao Sun said with a smile: "To contact major TV stations, you have to contact them yourself."

"Alright!" Hearing Lao Meng didn't hesitate at all. His connections in the television field were not something to brag about.

………………

Zhenxing Village, Yuan Family!

Dinner was ready. The stewed wild goose was served on the table in a basin, and it was fragrant.

"This is good stuff."

Meng Tong Huai Zhi picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of meat into his mouth.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm!" Meng Tong Huai Zhi nodded vigorously, "Delicious!"

This meal lasted for more than two hours. When Meng Tong Huai Zhi, Zhao Jin, and Zuo Xingqing left, it was already past six o'clock.

"Hiccup!"

Zhou Andong hiccuped, sat on the stool, leaned against the cabinet behind him, and lit a cigarette.

"Damn it, talking about things with these officials is tiring for the heart and brain, and it's also tiring for the stomach; this has stuffed me."

Seeing Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at him, and said unhappily: "Look at your lack of ambition, you polished off half of that basin of stewed goose."

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong had a cigarette in his mouth, stood up and walked out, rubbing his stomach as he walked, "If I, the host, don't eat, how can those guests be embarrassed to eat? I was also afraid they wouldn't be full and would be hungry; after all, they have a few hours of road to travel."

"Ha!"

Yuan Ying couldn't help but laugh: "My brother, does he always argue even when he's wrong?"
