"It's you... Zhang Dayong..."

Chen Xuan was a little surprised. The person in the car was a fatty, not tall, weighing around two hundred jin. He had a large head, big ears, and a hooked nose like a foreigner.

The old man said this was a sign of wealth...

In the past, he was Chen Xuan's classmate. His family was very poor when he was young, and his biological father raised pigs. Once, he followed the town's stone mining business and became the richest man in the county.

Zhang Dayong also went to study in town, dropping a grade. His status as the richest man's son allowed him to thrive, making friends everywhere, and he was very loyal...

"Haha... Kid, hurry up and get in the car. I'll take you out for a spin and show you the world, how about it?" Zhang Dayong said heartily.

"No... no... I haven't plowed the fields at home yet, and I still need to cook. You go have fun," Chen Xuan refused...

"Damn... You're not giving me face? I heard your company outside went bankrupt, and your girlfriend ran off with the money. That's why you came back to the countryside to develop. You definitely need connections. I have to help you. Hurry up and ditch that old bike..."

"If you don't work hard today, do you really plan to farm for a lifetime and have your future wife and son look down on you?"

Zhang Dayong reprimanded him unceremoniously, showing his disappointment.

"Actually, I..." Chen Xuan wanted to explain. I'm a millionaire, a landlord with a hundred acres, and a half-step immortal...

"What 'actually'? There's a big event today. Maybe you can latch onto a few rich women and live off them from now on. The target is none other than the Junyue Grand Hotel..." Zhang Dayong said impatiently.

"Alright!" Chen Xuan shook his head and locked his old bike to a utility pole by the roadside. Whether the lock would be cut, it was hard to say...

Chen Xuan's destination this time was also the Junyue Grand Hotel...

Since it was on the way, he got in the car. There was also a mature beauty in the car, wearing a red dress, high heels, and black stockings, with long, light yellow hair. She was applying lipstick...

She glanced at Chen Xuan, remained silent, and showed no interest. Poor people couldn't catch her dharma eye...

"Chen Xuan... this is my girlfriend, Li Ping. Don't be discouraged. We're still young. We'll make a comeback sooner or later. I'll cover you around here. I can help you with anything..."

Zhang Dayong, driving, patted his chest as he spoke, truly full of loyalty.

"I'm fine already..." Chen Xuan shook his head.

"That's good..." Zhang Dayong grinned, relieved.

The car quickly entered the Junyue Grand Hotel. At first glance, it was bustling with people, much livelier than the nearby Milin Grand Hotel, as some people preferred Western food.

"Chen Xuan... This business association event is very grand. Even influential figures from the city are coming to our town for investment. Once I close a big deal, I'll definitely pull you along. Just follow me later..."

Zhang Dayong instructed him solemnly, his tone a little cautious. His father was the richest man in the county, but at best, he was just a small landlord. In the city, he was nothing.

"Dayong... Stop the nonsense! We'll be late if we don't hurry. He's a bankrupt, so it's already a blessing if we can get any help," Li Ping finally interjected, sounding impatient.

"Darling... Don't be angry, we'll go up right away," Zhang Dayong said with a sheepish grin.

Chen Xuan smiled without saying anything. Since he needed to go up and see, and it was his first time here, he couldn't help but take out his Nokia and log into KouKou to send a message. After all, it was a place where he knew people.

They soon arrived at a large hall in the Junyue Grand Hotel. People were coming and going, all in suits, with extraordinary bearing. They elegantly toasted each other, completely in Western style.

"Brother Dayong... you're finally here..." A bald man with a smile came up, exclaiming in surprise.

"Bald Brother... what about me?" Li Ping complained.

"Hehe... and Pingping. I'll punish myself with a drink, bottoms up..." Bald Brother slapped his own face. He was a smooth operator, adept at navigating social situations and reading people.

"And this brother is..." As expected, Bald Brother quickly looked at Chen Xuan, sizing him up, and appeared quite disappointed, thinking him to be insignificant.

"Him..." Li Ping pouted and said, "Dayong's country brother. You can help him if you have a chance. He used to be a boss. Don't tease him, Bald Brother, you're such an important figure."

"My apologies... my apologies..." Bald Brother said with a smile, but then said no more.

Zhang Dayong was a little displeased. Chen Xuan put a hand on his shoulder, which helped him suppress his anger. They continued into the banquet hall. After all, this business conference had gathered over a hundred bosses, both local and from out of town.

Zhang Dayong joined in the drinking, accepting every offer. Li Ping was even more enthusiastic, chatting with everyone, a social butterfly, laughing and talking.

Chen Xuan saw no need to curry favor with anyone. He stood in a corner, quietly drinking, watching everyone close deals, completely content.

Up to this point, no one had approached Chen Xuan. His attire was too ordinary, and he wasn't proactive, so many people overlooked him. Time quickly passed, and half the event was over.

"That's it for today. I heard there's another private room where the real big shots are. Unfortunately, we don't have a chance to get in..."

"They say several people worth over a hundred million, along with some leading enterprises, town leaders, county leaders, and even city leaders are there to entertain them. We can only play small games..."

"Anyway, let the big shots eat meat, and we'll just have the soup..."

A group of people were discussing, without any reservations, mostly sighing. The business pie was only so big. Once everyone had taken their small slice, there was no point in being greedy for the larger portions.

Zhang Dayong was a bit tipsy and dejected, as if things hadn't gone as expected. He walked over with a burp, Li Ping following casually.

"How was it?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"We only closed three deals, totaling about a million yuan. The real big business is in the innermost private room. I don't have a chance..." Zhang Dayong's plump figure couldn't hide his bulk, but he had indeed tried his best...

"Do you want to get involved? Maybe I can help you," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"You?" Li Ping next to him laughed. "Stop pretending, okay? No one has exposed you, so let's just leave it at that..."

"Haha..." Another laugh rang out. Bald Brother walked over with a group of people, happening to overhear their conversation, and couldn't help but mock, "Kid... who among those who can get in here isn't worth millions? What do you have? Don't talk big. Just be honest when you come to see the world..."

"Everyone knows farmers work hard. It's been the same for three generations. Farming won't make you rich, and no one is laughing at you. But if you pretend to be something you're not, then you're committing a sin..."

Bald Brother was a capable man in the county, influential in both legitimate and illegitimate circles, and usually acted with impunity. Today, however, he was unusually reserved because the real big shots were inside.

"Haha..."

The group behind him burst into laughter, showing no regard for anyone else. To them, Chen Xuan was just a bumpkin from the countryside.

"Brother, I heard your village produced a millionaire who contracted a hundred acres of land. Is that true?"

"That amazing? What can you plant on a hundred acres? Lately, sugar tangerines are popular in the south. Could it be this thing? Too many people are doing it, it's boring..."

"So what if he's a millionaire? If he's not crazy, why would he contract farmland? There are opportunities everywhere these days. Only a fool would want to do that..."

"Haha..."

Another burst of laughter. Anyway, they considered it entertainment. Rich people who didn't understand investment were simply prodigal sons.

Zhang Dayong was sullen. Chen Xuan was giving him too much face. How could he stand by while his good brother was being ridiculed?

"Enough... you group of frogs at the bottom of a well, how can you see the sky? With such a narrow perspective, no wonder you can't discuss big business," Chen Xuan said with a cold laugh.

"You..." Bald Brother was choked speechless by the look on his face...

Dada da...

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed. The innermost private room opened, and a group of people stepped out. The most stunning among them were three beauties: knowledgeable and virtuous, graceful and generous, and radiating an imposing aura...

There was Zhou Yanhong, the female CEO of Junyue Grand Hotel, her secretary Jiang Xian'er, and the female town mayor Ye Shuiyan. They were absolutely the most stunning people in the room, drawing everyone's attention.

"Chen Xuan... it really is you. We were planning to come to your village to find you," Ye Shuiyan said, pleasantly surprised. She then looked at everyone else and said, "Come, come... let me introduce you. This is the millionaire who contracted a hundred acres..."

"Chen Xuan... I just found your KouKou message. I'm so sorry. We originally wanted to bring everyone along to invest with you, but I didn't expect you to be here..." Hotel CEO Zhou Yanhong was also excited.

"Boss Chen... you haven't replied to messages in days, you're killing us with worry. All the watermelons are sold out..." Secretary Jiang Xian'er said with a hint of resentment.

The entire room was frozen in shock...

This country bumpkin was the real big shot...
