Chapter 35: Chapter 35: General Lu

After Yan Rufeng took over Zhang Dafu’s assets worth 50 billion, he established the Yiyun Group. However, Li Xiaofei was the legal representative of the Yiyun Group, while Yan Rufeng stayed behind the scenes as the boss.

Shortly after, Yiyun Group acquired Ziya Biology. Surprisingly, the vice chairman of Yiyun Group was Xiaxia, and Liu Ping’er only served as the general manager of Yiyun Group. Even so, Liu Ping’er had no complaints.

In this way, Yiyun Group quickly became the largest consortium in Zhongzhou, and naturally, Yan Rufeng became the richest man in Zhongzhou.

Not long after the Yiyun Group was established, all the wealthy people in Zhongzhou who wanted to associate with Yan Rufeng invested in the company, seeking shelter. Even the Su Group announced that it would merge with Yiyun Group soon.

Su Group, the top financial power in the province, was not acquiring Yiyun. Instead, the Su Group was merging under Yiyun Group, which was like dropping a bombshell in Da Zhe Province’s business circle. When people discovered that Yan Rufeng was the Yiyun Group’s behind-the-scenes boss, they understood.

On the day Yiyun Group and Su Group merged, major financial groups across the province invested in Yiyun Group. The group’s market value skyrocketed to 800 billion that day, making Yiyun Group the eighth-largest consortium in the country.

Regarding these achievements, as the vice chairman, Xiaxia now believed what Yan Rufeng had said before, that "He was destined to become the richest man in the world." Yan Rufeng had not deceived her.

With substantial financial backing, Yan Rufeng immediately transferred funds and prioritized the construction of Wolong Abyss.

When Zhou Tong received 100 billion in construction funds, besides being surprised, she could only sigh, "Rufeng is truly remarkable. It seems the world is about to change..."

At the Wolong Abyss construction site, just as Yan Rufeng got out of the car, he heard his phone ringing.

"Little Taoist, where are you?"

"Police Officer Wen, what’s up?"

"An important person wants to see you."

"Oh, an important person."

"Heh heh."

"I’ll head back once I handle things at Wolong Abyss."

"Alright, we’ll wait for you at the entrance of Jade Garden."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Rufeng found Zhou Tong.

"Sister Tong, now that all the funds are in place, can it be completed in three months?"

Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Rufeng, three months is really tight. I will try my best, but if it can’t be completed, don’t blame me; after all, the building area is huge."

"Fine, if funds are insufficient, let Xiao Fei know, and he will handle it."

After a brief conversation with Zhou Tong, Yan Rufeng left Wolong Abyss.

Arriving at the entrance of Jade Garden, Yan Rufeng dialed Wen Tong’s number.

"Police Officer Wen, I am here."

"Little Taoist, do you see that minibus parked at the entrance? Just get on."

After hanging up, Yan Rufeng walked over.

At that moment, Wen Tong, who had been waiting for a while, opened the car door and shouted to Yan Rufeng.

"Little Taoist, come in this way."

Yan Rufeng was speechless and reluctantly got into the car, annoyed by Wen Tong always calling him "Little Taoist."

As soon as Yan Rufeng got in, he heard the engine start.

He noticed that this minibus was actually a mobile meeting room, with eight people inside. A stern yet dignified middle-aged man sat on the sofa, with others behind him.

Wen Tong walked over to the middle-aged man and respectfully said, "General Lu, this young man is Yan Rufeng."

"General Lu?"

Hearing the title, Yan Rufeng carefully observed this General Lu, thinking, "He’s calm and composed, kind and amiable, definitely a high-ranking military officer. I wonder what he wants with me, Yan Rufeng?"

General Lu stood up facing Yan Rufeng, smiled broadly, and extended his right hand, "I’ve heard of your deeds, Yan Rufeng. Meeting you today is truly a pleasure. You are indeed an extraordinary talent."

Yan Rufeng shook General Lu’s hand and smiled lightly, "You flatter me. What can I do for you, General Lu?"

"Ha ha!"

"Straightforward indeed. To be honest, I have a favor to ask of you today," General Lu Mingliang said with a laugh.

General Lu Mingliang invited Yan Rufeng to sit and handed him a cigarette.

Lu Mingliang lit a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly said, "Yan Rufeng, the main reason I’m here is to invite you to serve as a coach for our military."

"Coach?"

Yan Rufeng was taken aback and quickly replied, "Sorry, General Lu. I’m not interested in being a coach, nor do I have the time for it."

A burly man behind Lu Mingliang angrily said, "Yan Rufeng, don’t be ungrateful! Our General personally inviting you to be a coach is a great honor. How can you speak to him like this?"

"Watch how you speak to Mr. Yan. Step back," Lu Mingliang reprimanded the man, then smiled at Yan Rufeng, "Yan Rufeng, please excuse him. Don’t stoop to his level."

"General Lu, you exaggerate. I am indeed not interested in being a coach. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."

"Stop the bus!"

Screech...

The minibus came to a halt.

In no time, Yan Rufeng moved to the door, ready to disembark.

"Wait a moment!"

Just then, Lu Mingliang took out a small glass bottle and said to Yan Rufeng, "Yan Rufeng, I believe that when you see this, you might change your mind."

Yan Rufeng stopped and focused his gaze on the glass bottle in Lu Mingliang’s hand, extending his Divine Sense.

"Strange, why does the liquid in General Lu’s glass bottle contain Spiritual Energy?"

"Ha ha."

Seeing through Yan Rufeng’s thoughts, Lu Mingliang laughed, "Yan Rufeng, are you interested in the liquid inside this bottle?"

"General Lu, I’ll take the job as coach."

"Good, I knew you wouldn’t refuse."

"Ha ha..."

Lu Mingliang laughed heartily, "Bring the appointment letter."

"Appointment letter?"

Yan Rufeng had to admire Lu Mingliang; he had prepared everything in advance.

After receiving and carefully inspecting the appointment letter, Yan Rufeng was surprised to find that he was appointed with the rank of Senior Colonel immediately.

"Yan Rufeng, you are now officially incorporated by the state. From now on, your every word and deed must prioritize national interests. You must not do anything that harms national interests."

"General Lu, as a Huaxia person, even if one were to die as a Huaxia ghost, one would never harm national interests. You need not worry about that," Yan Rufeng said solemnly.

"Good, now let’s discuss business."

Lu Mingliang glanced at the others, and Wen Tong, along with everyone else, including the driver, got off the bus.

"Yan Rufeng, I know you are not a Martial Artist. I am very curious about how you use the energy in this glass bottle."

"General Lu, you have sharp eyes. To be honest, I am a Cultivator."

"Oh, a Cultivator."

Lu Mingliang pretended to be puzzled, "I knew you were a Cultivator when I saw the video of you carving the Dragon Uprising sculpture. However, my investigation showed that your ancestors for three generations had no connection with any Cultivation Families."

"That’s because I had the fortune of obtaining a Cultivation Inheritance!"

Naturally, Yan Rufeng wouldn’t tell Lu Mingliang the truth, so he just mentioned the inheritance.

"A miraculous Cultivation Inheritance!"

Lu Mingliang laughed, "Yan Rufeng, with such extraordinary luck, it’s truly enviable."

"Ha ha!"

"General Lu, if I’m not mistaken, there must be others in Huaxia who have obtained Cultivation Inheritances..."

"Ha ha..."

Lu Mingliang laughed, unexpectedly amused by Yan Rufeng’s question. He thought that Yan Rufeng was far more complex than he appeared.
