Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  "Didn't you read the newspaper or go online today?" Zhang Zhengguo chuckled, "I went online and saw that Tong's report has been released. The Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area is going to be a big hit! Hmm, Xiao Ning, I'm busy for now, I need to get someone to add fuel to the fire. You have time to take a look at the news."

  Zhang Zhengguo quickly hung up the phone, but Ning Fan was somewhat perplexed. Tong Yao's report seemed to be promoting Shi Kun, what did it have to do with Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area?

  In doubt, Ning Fan still took out his mobile phone and opened a certain portal website. Then he saw a search hot keyword, which was surprisingly Qingyun Mountain Waterfall!

  He searched online and browsed through some web pages, roughly figuring out what was going on.

  The central figure in Tong Yao's report was indeed Shi Kun, but perhaps Tong Yao also understood that people are not particularly interested in such reports. So, Tong Yao also reported on the situation of Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area and attached a photo, which was a stunning photo of her standing on top of the waterfall!

  This photo not only made Tong Yao popular overnight, but also brought fire to the scenic area of Qingyun City. Later, Tong Yao posted a set of waterfall photos on her Weibo, beautiful woman and beautiful scenery, two things combined, quickly spread rapidly online!

  "Is Qingyun Mountain really this beautiful?"

  "I've been to Qingyun Mountain, how come I didn't see this scenic spot?!"

  "It's too beautiful, I want to go see!"

  "Is this really true? Not PS?"

  "Beautiful female journalist, I like!"

  "Enjoy the waterfall, come to Qingyun, Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area welcomes you!"

  ……

  There are various comments online, some questioning, some wanting to see it with their own eyes, and even some promoting Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area. In short, Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area, as well as Qingyun City, suddenly became popular, and it seems to have the potential to become even more popular.

  Ning Fan was not too excited about this, in fact, he had some hidden worries. The waterfall of Qingyun Mountain is a natural wonder, and that place is also like a paradise on earth. He didn't just discover that place now, the reason he never told anyone was that he was worried that the place would be destroyed by development.

  However, since things have come to this, he won't stop it either, because he understands that if the Qingyun Mountain Waterfall is really developed into a scenic spot, it will indeed be a good thing for the entire city of Qingyun, and at least most citizens' income may increase.

  Ning Fan soon stopped paying attention to this matter, and for the next few days, he was busy training Li Jia's eighteen sons during the day and accompanying his mother in the hospital at night. His mother had been transferred to a general ward, but she still needed about two weeks to be discharged from the hospital.

  Before he knew it, Thursday had arrived and Ning Fan spent the entire morning at the training base. Just as noon was approaching, he received a call from Su Yun.

  "Are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together." Su Yun's voice was exceptionally gentle.

  "When you're free, where are we going to eat?" Ning Fan agreed without hesitation.

  "There's a place called Xiangli Village, the first 'Xiang' is the same as in Hunan cuisine." Su Yun replied: "Do you know where it is?"

  "I know." Ning Fan's heart was somewhat puzzled, it seemed that Su Yun didn't invite him out for dinner after all.

  "It's fine if you know, then come to the police station to pick me up." Su Yun smiled lightly and hung up the phone.

  Ning Fan didn't say anything, just told Li Feng something and then walked towards a brand new motorcycle parked not far away, got on the motorcycle and quickly drove out of the training base.

  When Ning Fan arrived at the police station, he found Su Yun already standing by the road waiting for him. Today's Su Yun was dressed very casually in a white T-shirt and black jeans, but it didn't reduce her charm at all.

  Ning Fan took off his helmet, Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then walked over and asked in surprise: "When did you start riding motorcycles?"

  "That car wasn't mine before, this one is mine." Ning Fan smiled, the Great Wall had actually been repaired already, but Ning Fan didn't drive it again. Instead, he spent less than 10,000 yuan to buy this motorcycle. On one hand, he still couldn't bear to spend over 100,000 yuan to buy a car; on the other hand, more importantly, he actually liked motorcycles better.

  Su Yun smiled lightly and didn't ask any more questions. She directly got on the motorcycle, stuck her body to Ning Fan's back, and naturally wrapped her arms around his waist: "Let's go, my brother should be waiting anxiously. Actually, it was he who invited you to dinner."

  The soft voice from behind made Ning Fan's heart feel a little strange, but at this moment he was more surprised: "Your brother invited me to dinner?"

  "Hmm, he seems to need your help with something, but I don't know what it is specifically." Su Yun explained.

  Ning Fan didn't ask anything else, he just started the motorcycle. On the way, the two of them didn't say a word to each other. Su Yun's hands around Ning Fan's waist seemed to be gripping tighter and tighter, as if she was afraid of falling off.

  Xiangli Xiangqin is a Hunan restaurant, not particularly famous in Qingyun City. However, considering it was Su Ye's brother Su Yu treating them to dinner, this place seemed normal enough. After all, Su Yu had just graduated from university and was still interning, clearly without much money. Moreover, the restaurant was actually quite close to the Qingshuai Group.

  Su Yu Zheng and others were standing at the door when they saw Ning Fan and Su Yun riding a motorcycle together, he looked a bit surprised.

  "Sister, brother-in-law, you're here." Su Yu greeted the two with a slightly shy expression, and that "brother-in-law" came out quite smoothly.

  Ning Fan smiled and didn't bother to clarify, parking the car. Under Su Yu's lead, the three of them arrived at a window-side card seat on the first floor and sat down separately. Ning Fan and Su Yun naturally sat together, looking like a real couple without any difference.

  "Sister, brother-in-law, what would you like to eat?" Su Yu poured them tea and then asked with the menu in hand.

  "I'll order some dishes, you guys talk." Su Yun was straightforward and directly took the menu over.

  Ning Fan continued: "Su Yu, your sister said you have something that needs my help. What is it?"

  Su Yu's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "Brother-in-law, actually, it's our company's matter, Song Ge insisted that I come find you."

  "Song Wenbin?" Su Yun raised her head, "What's he up to now?"

  "Sister, Song Ge really is on official business this time." Su Yu explained for Song Wenbin, looking at Ning Fang and asking: "Brother-in-law, in the Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area, there's a Qingyun Temple. Does the property rights of this Qingyun Temple belong to you?"

  Qingyun Pavilion

  Ning Fan was slightly surprised but still nodded: "That's right, it is indeed mine."

  Su Yun looked at Ning Fan with a surprised gaze, apparently somewhat unexpected about this matter, but she didn't say anything and quickly continued to focus on the menu.

  "Brother-in-law, it's like this, the Qingxue Group wants to buy out the Qingyun Pavilion." Su Yu quickly explained the reason, "Song Ge investigated and found that the ownership of the Qingyun Pavilion is in your hands, so he let me take charge of this matter. As long as you're willing to sell, the price isn't a problem. Although Song Ge didn't tell me the exact price, I think anything below one million or ten million should be acceptable."

  "Xiao Yu, who negotiates like this, revealing one's bottom line before even starting?" Su Yun couldn't help but chuckle softly beside him.

  "Sister, isn't your brother-in-law one of us?" Su Yu felt a bit embarrassed, "I think there's no need to hide it."

  "Hmm, you're right, your brother-in-law is indeed a family member." Su Yun looked at Ning Fan with those captivating eyes of hers, her tone seemingly laced with an underlying meaning.

  "What did Qingxue Group buy Qingyun Pavilion for?" Ning Fan frowned and asked, at that moment, he even had an idea, could it be related to Zhao Qingxue?

  Su Yu quickly explained, and Ning Fan immediately understood that this matter was actually related to Tong Yao's report. It is said that under the deliberate promotion of Qingyun City, the Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area has become a huge hit on the internet, and it has also entered the sight of many investors.

  However, compared to many investors who are still watching, Qingshuang Group has already taken action. Previously, the Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area was jointly developed and operated by the Qingyun City Government and a tourism company. Now, this tourism company has been acquired by Qingshuang Group, which is simultaneously negotiating with the Qingyun City Government to increase investment and continue developing the Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area.

  Song Wenbin is now in charge of this matter, and Song Wenbin plans to prepare for the development of Qingyun Mountain Waterfall on the one hand, and to put Qingyun Temple into operation on the other hand.

  "Song Ge said, now many people like to go to temples and Taoist temples to burn incense, Qingyun Temple has a good reputation all the time, and it is rumored that it is very effective. As long as we promote it well, at that time, the incense money of Qingyun Temple alone will be a huge sum every day." Su Yu was slightly excited, "But he thought Qingyun Temple was also part of the Qingyun Mountain Scenic Area, only to find out later that it actually belonged to his brother-in-law. To be honest, brother-in-law, I think if you are willing to sell, maybe Song Ge will buy it for over 10 million yuan."

  Ning Fan fell silent for a moment before shaking his head: "Su Yu, sorry, this Taoist temple, I won't sell it, no matter how much money is involved."

  "But brother-in-law, I heard that watching is free now, and you seem to be losing out too." Su Yu was somewhat puzzled, "You really don't sell?"

  "Suyue, Qingyun Pavilion has special meaning to me. Many things can't be measured by money." Ning Fan smiled faintly, "Sorry, I really can't help you with this matter. If Song Wenbin doesn't let you work at Qingshuang Group because of this, I'll try my best to find a suitable job for you."

  "Oh, never mind, brother-in-law. Since you don't want to sell, I'll just tell Brother Song the truth then." Su Yu looked a bit disappointed, "However, brother-in-law, Brother Song probably won't give up that easily. He seems determined to get Qingyun Pavilion."

  Just then, Su Yu's mobile phone rang. He quickly picked it up and after a few minutes, he hung up the phone and looked at Ning Fan: "Brother-in-law, Song Ge wants to invite you to our company at 2 pm this afternoon, saying that he wants to talk to you in person."
