The Classmate Who Raised Pigs Became the Richest Man and Took the County's Richest Man's Son to Show Off

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

Chen Xuan was a little surprised. The person in the car was a fat man, not very tall and weighing around two hundred pounds. He had a large head and big ears, but also a hooked nose like a foreigner's.

The old man said it was a sign of wealth and honor...

He had once been Chen Xuan's classmate. His family had been very poor when he was young, and his father had raised pigs. Then, after getting rich by following the town's stone-mining business, his family had gradually become the richest in the county.

Zhang Dayong had also gone to school in town, even repeating a year. As the son of the county's richest man, he had flourished, making friends everywhere and showing great loyalty...

"Haha... Hurry up and get in, kid. Your brother here will take you out for some fun and broaden your horizons!" Zhang Dayong was very straightforward.

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

"Damn... Are you disrespecting me? I heard your company outside went bankrupt and your girlfriend ran off with the money, so you came back to the countryside to develop. You definitely need connections. I have to help you. Hurry up and ditch that old bicycle..."

"If you don't work hard today, are you really planning to plow fields for the rest of your life and let your future wife and son look down on you?"

Zhang Dayong scolded him without holding back, even more frustrated that Chen Xuan was not living up to his potential.

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

"Actually, my ass. There's a huge event today. Maybe you'll latch onto a few rich women and live off them from now on. Our destination is the Junyue Grand Hotel..." Zhang Dayong said impatiently.

"All right!" Chen Xuan shook his head and locked his old bicycle to a roadside utility pole. Whether someone would cut the lock and steal it was hard to say...

Chen Xuan was headed toward the Junyue Grand Hotel as well...

Since it was on the way, he got into the car. There was also a mature beauty inside, wearing a red dress, high heels, and black stockings. Her long, light-yellow hair fell over her shoulders as she applied lipstick a few times...

She only glanced at Chen Xuan before falling silent, completely uninterested. Poor people simply did not meet her standards...

"Chen Xuan... This is my girlfriend, Li Ping. Don't be discouraged, either. We're still young. We'll rise again sooner or later. I've got your back in this area of our hometown, and I can help you with anything..."

Zhang Dayong, who was driving, patted his chest as he spoke. He was truly overflowing with loyalty.

"I've been fine for a long time..." Chen Xuan shook his head.

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

The car soon entered the Junyue Grand Hotel. At a glance, there were people coming and going everywhere, making it far livelier than the nearby Meilin Grand Hotel. Some people simply preferred Western food.

"Chen Xuan... This chamber of commerce event is extremely grand. Even prominent figures from the city have come to our town to invest. Once I land a big deal, I'll definitely give you a hand. Just stick with me later..."

Zhang Dayong gave him a solemn warning, his tone somewhat cautious. His father was the richest man in the county, but at most, he could be considered a small landowner. In the city, he was nothing.

"Dayong... Stop wasting time! We'll be late if we don't go up soon. He's a bankrupt. Being able to help him at all is already a blessing." Li Ping finally spoke, sounding very impatient.

"Baby... Don't be angry. We'll go up right away." Zhang Dayong put on a fawning smile.

Chen Xuan smiled without saying anything. He had to go up and take a look anyway, and this was his first time there. He could not help taking out his Nokia, logging into QQ, and sending a message. After all, this was familiar territory.

They soon reached a hall in the Junyue Grand Hotel. People came and went in suits and leather shoes, each one carrying an extraordinary air. They toasted one another with elegant gestures, and the entire place had been arranged in a thoroughly Western style.

"Brother Dayong... You finally made it..." A bald man came over with a hearty laugh.

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

"Hehe... And Pingping too. I'll punish myself with a drink. Bottoms up..." Bald Brother slapped his own mouth. He was a smooth operator, skilled at handling every kind of person and very good at adjusting his behavior to whoever he was dealing with.

"And this brother is..." As expected, Bald Brother soon turned his gaze to Chen Xuan and looked him up and down, visibly disappointed. What kind of nobody is this?

"He..." Li Ping curled her lip and said, "He's Dayong's country-bred friend. If you get the chance, help him out. He used to be a boss too, so a big figure like Bald Brother shouldn't tease him."

"My apologies, my apologies..." Bald Brother laughed, then left it at that.

Zhang Dayong was a little annoyed. Chen Xuan only had to place a hand on his shoulder to keep him from venting his anger. They continued into the banquet. After all, this business conference had gathered more than a hundred bosses, both local and from out of town.

Zhang Dayong joined in the drinking, refusing no one. Li Ping was even more enthusiastic, chatting up everyone. She was practically a social butterfly, laughing and talking with ease.

Chen Xuan had no need to curry favor with anyone. He simply sat in a corner, drinking quietly and watching everyone close deal after deal, enjoying themselves so much that they forgot the passage of time.

Up to now, no one had approached Chen Xuan. His clothes were too ordinary, and since he did not take the initiative, most people had already forgotten him. Half the event passed quickly.

"That's about it for today. I heard there's another private room where the truly important figures are gathered, but unfortunately, we don't have a chance to enter..."

"I heard several people with fortunes in the hundreds of millions are in there, along with some leading enterprises, town leaders, county leaders, and even city leaders. We can only fool around with small deals..."

"As long as the big shots eat the meat and we drink the soup, that's enough..."

A group of people discussed it animatedly without the slightest restraint. Most of them were sighing. The business pie was only so large. Once everyone had taken their small portions, they could forget about greedily reaching for the biggest slices.

Zhang Dayong was somewhat drunk and a little dejected. It seemed the outcome had fallen short of his expectations. He walked over after belching, with Li Ping casually following beside him.

"How did it go?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"I only negotiated three deals, worth roughly a million yuan. The real big business is in the innermost private room, but I didn't get a chance..." Zhang Dayong's chubby body could not hide its bloated bulk. He really had done his best...

"Do you want to get involved? Maybe I can help you." Chen Xuan smiled.

"You?" Li Ping laughed from the side. "Can you stop pretending? Everyone's chosen not to expose you, so let's just leave it at that..."

"Haha..." Another laugh rang out. Bald Brother approached with a group of people and happened to overhear their conversation. He could not help mocking Chen Xuan. "Kid... Anyone who can get in here has a net worth of at least a million. What do you have? Don't spout such nonsense. You came here to broaden your horizons, so just behave..."

"Everyone knows that farmers work hard. Their ancestors have farmed for three generations, and farming can't make anyone rich. No one's laughing at you for that. But if you insist on pretending, then you deserve it..."

Bald Brother was a capable man in the county who dealt with both the underworld and legitimate circles. He had always acted without restraint, but today he was unusually cautious because the truly important figures were inside.

"Haha..."

The group behind him burst into laughter without the slightest concern for Chen Xuan's feelings. To them, he was nothing but a bumpkin from the countryside.

"Brother, I heard your countryside produced a multimillionaire who contracted a hundred acres of farmland. Is that true?"

"That impressive? What can you grow on a hundred acres? Sugar oranges have been popular in the south lately. Could it be those? Too many people are growing them already. There's nothing interesting about it..."

"So what if he's worth ten million? Anyone with a brain wouldn't contract farmland. There are opportunities everywhere these days. Only an idiot would be willing to do that..."

"Haha..."

Another wave of laughter rang out. It was all entertainment to them. If a rich person did not understand investment, he was simply a spendthrift.

Zhang Dayong's expression darkened. They were showing far too little respect. How could he tolerate his good brother being ridiculed?

"All right... A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well. How could you possibly see the sky? With such narrow horizons, it's no wonder you can't negotiate any big deals." Chen Xuan sneered.

"You..." Bald Brother was rendered speechless by the retort...

Tap, tap, tap...

At that moment, a series of footsteps sounded. The innermost private room opened, and a group of people stepped out. The most striking among them were three beautiful women, all refined and graceful yet brimming with heroic spirit...

There was Zhou Yanhong, the female president of the Junyue Grand Hotel; her secretary, Jiang Xian'er; and Ye Shuiyan, the female town head. They were unquestionably the most dazzling people in the entire venue, attracting everyone's gaze.

"Chen Xuan... It really is you. We were even planning to go to the village ourselves to find you." Ye Shuiyan was delighted. Then she looked toward the crowd and said, "Come, come... Let me introduce him to you. He's the multimillionaire who contracted a hundred acres of land..."

"Chen Xuan... I only just saw your QQ message. I'm truly sorry. We originally planned to bring everyone to find you and invest together, but I never expected you to come here..." Hotel president Zhou Yanhong was also very excited.

"Boss Chen... You haven't replied to our messages for several days. You nearly scared us to death. All the watermelons have been sold..." Secretary Jiang Xian'er sounded aggrieved.

The entire venue stood frozen in shock...

This country bumpkin was the real big shot...
