At this moment, Jiang Chen was not in the least bit flustered, steady as Mount Tai.

”It’s about time,” he said as he pulled out his phone to check the time, stood up, walked over to the wall of the banquet hall, and turned on the large LCD TV hanging there. He adjusted the channel.

As everyone looked on in confusion, he turned around with a smile and said, ”The noon news has started, let’s all take a look.”

The people in the banquet hall were all stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening, and they instinctively looked toward the TV.

The TV was broadcasting the noon news, and just after finishing one piece of news, everyone chuckled dismissively, just about to speak, but in the next moment, they all froze.

”... Jincheng has decided to incorporate Jingjiang into Jincheng as its new urban district for key development...”

All the executives were flabbergasted, staring blankly at the TV. Then they all snapped to attention and frantically pulled out their phones, making calls to confirm this news.

Jiang Chen leisurely returned to his seat and sat down, continuing his meal.

The food was quite delicious—it would be a waste not to eat it.

After a commotion, all the executives looked at Jiang Chen with shock.

They had made calls and confirmed the truth of the news; they also found out one more thing: Before the news broadcast, only a very few people in Flame Dragon knew about it, even the great families of Jincheng were completely unaware of this news.

Yet, this young CEO knew about it, not only knew about it, but he also waved his hand and purchased two thousand acres of land.

Suddenly, the more perceptive individuals began to speculate. If this young man were really a useless nobody, would the Gong Family Head support him? Would he be allowed to become the CEO? Of course not!

So, there must be inside information.

In an instant, all the executives completed their mental gymnastics and their attitudes did a complete reversal as they all gathered around Jiang Chen.

”Wow, President Jiang is impressive!”

”Such ingenious foresight!”

”Following President Jiang, we’re sure to make a fortune!”

”President Jiang is a natural-born investment genius! I support President Jiang!”

”I support President Jiang too!”

These executives, who had just been looking down on Jiang Chen from above, now all turned into fawning dogs. They wished Jiang Chen could lead them by the leash right away because only by following him could they make a fortune.

Old Master Gong was also staring at Jiang Chen in disbelief. As an elder of the Gong Family, he was very aware that the Gong Family didn’t know about this. This exclusive news was definitely Jiang Chen’s alone. It didn’t matter where the news came from, what mattered was that their Gong Family had discovered a treasure.

Now, coming back to his senses, he burst into laughter and exclaimed, ”Haha... My judgment is definitely not wrong. I’ve said it before, Jiang Chen really has something special! Keep up the good work, Jiang Chen, I absolutely support you!”

Gong Lin was dumbstruck on the side, startled by how quickly including Old Master Gong, these executives had switched their demeanors.

But she understood too well what these people were thinking: whoever could lead them to wealth was the boss.

And that person was Jiang Chen!

With eyes shining with excitement, Gong Lin looked at Jiang Chen. To her, he seemed so ordinary, yet he appeared to be someone who could overcome any difficulty, someone who could turn any adverse situation in his favor.

For a moment, Gong Lin couldn’t help but be entranced.

Wang Hui was nearly losing his mind on the side. He was aware that his smile had not been sufficiently concealed and must have been seen by Jiang Chen. Now that Jiang Chen had turned the tide and become the apple of everyone’s eye, at this moment, if Jiang Chen were to suggest firing him, everyone would definitely support it and even take the initiative to throw him out.

Thus, Wang Hui, with a shiver of realization, rushed to Jiang Chen’s side, poured a full glass of red wine for him, and then loudly flattered, ”President Jiang is wise, President Jiang has worked hard,” while he started to gently pound Jiang Chen’s back with his fists, like an obsequious eunuch.

Jiang Chen responded indifferently to the chorus of flattery from the executives, but a gleam of something different flashed in his eyes.

This news was something from Jiang Chen’s dreamlike memories. In order to repay The Four Seas, he had already bought the land in advance, though no one, including Gong Lin, understood at the time. He didn’t explain himself. When Gong Lin informed him about the meeting with these executives, he thought of today’s news and deliberately scheduled the meeting for noon.

He knew he definitely wouldn’t be favored by these executives, so he wanted to use this event, and the news broadcasted on the spot, to oppress the executives a bit and make them more honest in the future.

More importantly, he didn’t want to disappoint Ye Jingyi. One day, he was going to stand at the pinnacle of the world and show Ye Jingyi that he could definitely bring her a happiness beyond her wildest dreams.

And now, he had taken another step toward that goal.

...

A welcome banquet turned out to be a great success with host and guests all delighted. Gong Lin hadn’t expected that such a result could be achieved with just one meal. Jiang Chen had directly subdued all the executives. Gong Lin was pleased but also found Jiang Chen even more unfathomable.

When the banquet ended, Jiang Chen rode away on his electric bike. Gong Lin stayed until the end, waiting until everyone had left before calling her father.

”Hello, Lin Lin.” The indulgent voice of Gong Jianqiang came through the receiver.

Gong Lin composed herself and spoke softly, ”Dad, you know about the Jingjiang land being allocated to Jincheng, right?”

”I know! Ah, they really kept that under wraps! I didn’t get any advance notice. If only we had known earlier, we could have bought a piece of Jingjiang, even just fifty hectares, and we would have made a fortune!”

Gong Lin blinked, ”Dad, we... bought land in Jingjiang.”

”Well, it’s fine, if we didn’t buy it then we didn’t... what?” Gong Jianqiang was expressing regret when he suddenly understood and exclaimed in shock.

Gong Lin spoke quietly, ”It was Jiang Chen. He spent ten billion to buy two thousand mu of land in Jingjiang, which is about one hundred and thirty-three hectares.”

”Ten billion for one hundred and thirty-three hectares?” Gong Jianqiang completely lost his composure and laughed heartily: ”Ha ha! Great! Great! Great! We hit the jackpot with this investment!”

Suddenly, Gong Jianqiang’s tone shifted, and his voice was filled with suppressed excitement, ”Our biggest investment isn’t that, it’s Jiang Chen! There’s hope now! The Gong Family has hope!”

”Dad, that... who exactly is Jiang Chen? Why do you have such high hopes for him?”

Gong Lin asked softly, initially thinking that Gong Jianqiang was giving her the company as a token of gratitude, but after observing and considering it over these days, she felt it couldn’t be that simple.

”Lin Lin, you don’t need to ask about that. Just remember, whatever decision Jiang Chen makes, you must fully cooperate with and support him, got it?” Gong Jianqiang didn’t explain but instead gave a serious reminder.

Gong Lin nodded, ”I understand, it’s just that...”

”Lin Lin, some things are not yet right for discussion. When the time comes, I’ll tell you. I suspect that even Jiang Chen himself doesn’t know!”

Before Gong Lin could ask any further, Gong Jianqiang had already hung up the call.

Putting down the phone, Gong Jianqiang suddenly laughed uproariously three times, looking up to the sky, ”There’s hope for the Gong Family, ha ha ha.”
