"General Manager Zhang, welcome, welcome, please come inside!"

Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi hurriedly went out to welcome them.

Zhang Sheng had a smile on his face.

His gaze lingered on Liu Mei Qi, who was wearing a wedding dress, for a few more seconds.

He had to admit, Liu Mei Qi's figure was excellent, and she looked absolutely stunning in a wedding dress.

It was a pity that he was middle-aged, with a family, children, and a career; it was impossible for him to give up everything he had accumulated over decades for a woman like her.

Raging for a beauty—how much courage would that take?

So now he could only watch helplessly as she became someone else's bride.

"General Manager Wang, congratulations! You and Mei Qi are truly a perfect match, a couple made in heaven! Wishing you a precious son soon and a lifetime of happiness together!"

Zhang Sheng praised them from the bottom of his heart.

Then he took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance and handed it to Liu Mei Qi.

Liu Mei Qi accepted it and hurriedly said thank you:

"Thank you, General Manager Wang!"

Wang Erhai also hurriedly thanked him:

"Thank you, General Manager Wang, your presence is our honor; why would we need a red envelope?"

Deng Hongyun said with a laugh:

"We want it, we want it. This is not only our heartfelt gesture but also proper etiquette. Etiquette cannot be missing!"

Wang Erhai then called Wang Xiaohua over:

"Third Brother, this is General Manager Zhang and his wife. Take them to the guest tables in front to be seated!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly ran over to lead the way.

Zhang Sheng and Wang Xiaohua were more or less acquainted; knowing that Wang Xiaohua was the county's top scholar in last year's college entrance exam, he chatted with him warmly and politely.

"Xiao Hua, when the county government awarded you the scholarship, I was there. Do you still remember me?"

"I remember, I remember. You're General Manager Zhang of Huangsheng Group, right? My second brother told me you helped him a lot. Thank you, General Manager Zhang!"

Wang Xiaohua replied with a smile.

Zhang Sheng said cheerfully:

"It's nothing, no need to be polite. We're all developing in the same county town, we're our own people. Helping each other is only natural. For example, your Uncle Chunsheng is also one of our own."

That's how things are in the county town: only if your network of connections is wide enough can you do business well.

So many people put more effort into human relations than into studying their products.

Products—whether buildings or clothing—are actually all the same. First-tier cities have already researched them thoroughly. We in eighteenth-tier small county towns just need to copy them. The demand is there; as long as the quality is roughly the same, it's fine.

If you try to make top-of-the-line luxury products, people in a small county town can't afford them.

Zhang Sheng then casually asked Wang Xiaohua a question:

"Xiao Hua, what are your plans after graduating from university? Have you thought about returning to the county town to develop?"

Wang Xiaohua immediately saw through the purpose of Zhang Sheng's words.

If Wang Xiaohua returned to the county town to develop after graduating, then deepening the binding of interests with Wang Erhai, Wang Dashan, and even Niu Chunsheng would be very necessary.

But if Wang Xiaohua had no intention of returning to develop, then this current cooperation model was already acceptable. Future interests would naturally be left to some people around him; not all the benefits could be given to them.

This exchange of interests was as real as it got: one cent for one piece of goods.

Cooperating with Niu Chunsheng was to consolidate Huangsheng Group's status in the real estate industry.

Cooperating with Wang Erhai was to handle the thorny problem of Liu Mei Qi.

"I have thought about it. I was thinking that if I graduate, it would be nice to return to the county town to be a civil servant. There's a saying I've always kept in mind: We study desperately to get into university not to escape our impoverished hometown, but to help our hometown escape poverty."

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng immediately gave a thumbs up:

"Student Xiao Hua, your awareness is truly high. If my son had your awareness, I'd wake up laughing in my sleep!"

At the same time, the smile on Zhang Sheng's face became even more cordial.

But he didn't know that although Wang Xiaohua looked simple-minded on the surface, he had other thoughts in his heart.

Now that he was at university, besides burying himself in coursework, he followed Wan Zhiyuan to the laboratory. Where would he have considered what to do after graduation?

According to his current study pace, it was obvious he intended to develop in the direction of scientific research.

As for taking the civil service exam to become an official, he actually hadn't thought about it much.

But why did Wang Xiaohua lie to Zhang Sheng?

The reason was simple: because he knew what words would help his own people and what words would be detrimental to them.

He was not a saint; he also had his own selfishness.

Wang Xiaohua took Zhang Sheng to Guest Table 3, where several wealthy merchants from the county town were already seated, such as Niu Chunsheng, such as the boss of Nanqiang Group. Niu Chunsheng was also at this table.

As for Guest Tables 1 and 2, they were prepared for the county town's civil servants.

This seating arrangement was arranged by Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi.

Liu Mei Qi understood the county town's environment quite well.

Although she had a bad temper, she was not stupid. She naturally knew that in this county town, among the three professions of "official, merchant, doctor," these were the most respected by the people. Because in a county town, you can't get anything done without these three professions, as you're bound to run into them sooner or later.

"General Manager Zhang, I heard your Huangsheng New City sold out as soon as it opened today. Congratulations! Let me toast you!"

Zhang Sheng had just sat down when Niu Chunsheng took the initiative to propose a toast to him.

"That's all thanks to Erhai, and I owe it even more to General Manager Niu for introducing me, so I got to know a young talent like Wang Erhai!"

Zhang Sheng laughed and returned the toast.

The others also raised their glasses one after another, offering pleasantries.

There were so many company heads who had fought bitterly in business behind the scenes normally, yet today they were all harmonious.

At this time, on the other side, at the door.

Xiao Xueqing and the county government leaders arrived.

Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan both hurried forward to welcome them.

These were the most important figures attending today's wedding banquet.

"Magistrate Xiao, please come inside, please come inside!"

Wang Dashan, smiling, personally led Xiao Xueqing and the more than ten others inside.

"General Manager Wang, you're really handsome today. I heard from your second brother that you're also getting married today, so why are you dressed so plainly?"

Xiao Xueqing smiled and asked casually.

Wang Dashan laughed and said:

"Tonight's protagonists are my second brother and his wife; we're just freeloading here, going through the motions casually, and we can't steal their spotlight!"

Xiao Xueqing smiled and nodded:

"That's true. Otherwise, with your tall and handsome look, once you put on a suit, your second brother standing beside you would be like a little lackey beside a young master."

Wang Dashan gave a dry laugh, and Wang Erhai also smiled embarrassedly, unable to refute anything.

After all, what she said was the truth.

His own elder brother and eldest sister-in-law—one tall and handsome, the other beautiful as a flower—if they really both wore suits and formal wear, then he and Liu Mei Qi would probably be outshone.

"Miss Du, when does your Xiao Du Technology plan to come to our county town?"

Xiao Xueqing changed the subject at this time and said this to Du Xiaojuan.

She had previously worked hard to bring Shanhai Real Estate back to the county town to open a branch company, precisely to introduce Xiao Du Technology's e-commerce industry and fill the gap of this small county town having no e-commerce industry.
