Chapter 243: 243. Hengda Film City

"You show it off yourself, and don’t let others look?"

Chen Dashan didn’t pamper her, continuing to fan the small medicine stove, a mischievous grin on his lips. "I thought you dressed like this on purpose just to show me. Why else would you come to me so early in the morning with nothing to do?"

"You..."

Qi Shuzhu’s face turned crimson with anger, staring at Chen Dashan with large watery eyes, as if she was on the verge of tears.

Seeing this spoiled young lady humbled, Chen Dashan inexplicably felt delighted, whispering, "Are you trying to seduce me while everyone else is still asleep?"

What?

Seeing Chen Dashan’s mysterious and infuriating expression, Qi Shuzhu glared at him, wishing she could kick him.

"Don’t worry; I’m very picky. I don’t want to get into trouble with a spoiled young lady like you!"

Chen Dashan looked disdainful, focusing on the small medicine stove, without glancing at Qi Shuzhu.

Qi Shuzhu was so angry she almost exploded on the spot, gritting her teeth as she glared at Chen Dashan’s profile, "Hmph!"

With a cold snort, she turned and stormed off.

Chen Dashan chuckled.

Throughout the day, Wu Hongling followed Chen Dashan everywhere. Qin Lan put pressure on Zhao Ding Group to make Chen Dashan apologize publicly and had the Zhao Family deal with him. First, they cut off water and electricity, and in the afternoon, thugs came to cause trouble. Peng Hu’s people were limited in their fighting ability, so Chen Dashan had to take Wu Hongling to clean up the mess.

Wu Hongling also mobilized people from Feiyun Villa to temporarily help Chen Dashan keep the situation under control.

Only then did Chen Dashan get less busy.

This confrontation with Zhao Qiqiang and Qin Lan was now out in the open. The whole Furong County knew that Chen Dashan and the Zhao Family were at each other’s throats.

...

The next morning.

Chen Dashan was woken up by the phone beside his pillow. Seeing the screen, it was Guo Dafu calling.

Answering the call, Guo Dafu’s excited voice came from the other end, "Dashan, I hope I didn’t wake you?"

"I asked Jinyue to call you, but the child is still not up, and I couldn’t wait any longer. There’s a project in Furong County that’s a golden opportunity. Have you heard of Hengda Film City?"

Hengda Film City?

"Isn’t it the Hengda Group that’s renowned nationwide?"

Chen Dashan couldn’t possibly be unfamiliar. Guo Dafu excitedly said, "Yes, that Hengda. Their group built an ancient small town on the outskirts of Furong County, partly for filming and partly for tourism. The brand is well-known, and entering it means making money with your eyes closed."

That’s no exaggeration.

Hengda had a big name, and their film cities were highly profitable. No wonder Guo Dafu was so excited.

"Does Uncle Guo have a way in?"

Chen Dashan asked, and Guo Dafu chuckled, "Such a big group operates strictly by the book. No one in Furong County has an in. It’s all fair, just, and open, with public tendering. I heard from Jinyue that you have a considerable tourism company in Longshan Town. This is a good opportunity."

Although Chen Dashan wasn’t short of money now, pursuing martial arts required rare resources to advance, and money could buy many good things.

Better safe than sorry.

"I’ll prepare personally and strive to win the bid. Thank you, Uncle Guo."

Chen Dashan thanked politely, and Guo Dafu laughed and hung up. If Chen Dashan did well, so would his daughter and the Guo Family.

...

Elsewhere.

"Useless!"

"All of you are useless!"

In the Golden Palace, Zhao Qiqiang slammed the table in rage. His underlings stood in the office, heads bowed, not daring to breathe.

"So many of you can’t get one thing done. Did you grow up eating shit?"

Zhao Qiqiang’s men were sent to wreck the place, but with the people from Feiyun Villa present, they didn’t gain anything. Instead, most of his men got injured.

Since Zhao Qiqiang was discharged from the hospital, he had been closely monitoring Chen Dashan. During the last promotional event, he thought it would be Chen Dashan’s end, only for Yang Huichun to intervene midway, leaving Zhao Qiqiang frustrated and retreating with his tail between his legs.

"Mr. Zhao, Young Master Yan is here!"

The secretary opened the office door respectfully.

Upon hearing the visitor’s name, Zhao Qiqiang’s angry face immediately lit up. Coldly glaring at his underlings, he said, "Get out, all of you! Don’t let me see you again, you bunch of useless bastards!"

Before the underlings could leave, Yan Dazhi and Yan Shao walked in cheerfully, "Wow, who in Furong County dares to anger Mr. Zhao?"

"Just a bunch of blind fools!"

Yan Dazhi’s face darkened, insinuatingly.

Zhao Qiqiang sneered, "Not many, but still troublesome, especially those small fry, like weeds in the mountains, just won’t die."

"Hahaha..."

Yan Dazhi laughed aloud, "That’s because you, Mr. Zhao, don’t bother with them. There’s no such thing as an immortal."

"What should we do about Chen Dashan, then?"

A deep male voice sounded from outside. Zhao Qiqiang looked up and saw Xue Wenzheng, head of the Xue Family, entering, getting straight to the point, "That Chen Dashan keeps making small moves, not only straining the Xue-Zhao relationship but secretly supporting Xue Mengyu, the renegade woman, trying to take over the Xue Family. It’s outrageous."

Xue Wenzheng was furious, but helpless.

Now, Chen Dashan was too much for the Xue Family to handle. Not to mention the forces from Feiyun Villa alone could give the Xue Family a headache.

They couldn’t win in a fight or suppress him commercially. Xue Wenzheng’s face turned livid with anger.

"I called you all here today to discuss how to retaliate against Chen Dashan. You two have considerable influence in Furong County. Being bullied by a country bumpkin, can you stand it?"

Zhao Qiqiang laughed.

Yan Dazhi and his son gritted their teeth. They initially had an arranged marriage with the Qin Family; Qin Xuan was the only daughter of the Qin Family. If the two families united, the Qin Family’s wealth would naturally benefit Yan Shao.

Who would have thought that Chen Dashan would appear and ruin their plan?

"I’ve heard Qin Hailong is busy with the bid for Hengda Film City recently. If I’m not mistaken, Chen Dashan would certainly compete for the bid. If he wins, our lives in Furong County will only get more difficult."

Yan Dazhi frowned.

Chen Dashan’s influence was growing, and Hengda Film was indeed lucrative. If Chen Dashan won the bid, his strength would only rise.

"Then let’s make sure he loses!"

Zhao Qiqiang’s eyes narrowed, a sinister look on his face.

Yan Dazhi and Xue Wenzheng exchanged a glance, their faces full of scheming. If Chen Dashan suffered, their families would benefit.

...

At the Hengda Film City bidding site.

Early in the morning, Chen Dashan, accompanied by Han Yifei, arrived at the site. Just as they submitted their documents, someone said, "You’re bidding too?"
