Chapter 52: Chapter 52: What Are You Staring At?

Seeing that Chen Dashan seemed somewhat reserved, unlike when he had just arrived.

Now he appeared a bit embarrassed and restless. The Secretary noticed and, looking at the water, said, "Little brother, don’t feel embarrassed. Ruyan being with you is her good fortune."

After speaking, the Secretary fixed his fishing rod into the holder.

Then he casually grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the side and handed it to Chen Dashan, continuing, "Honestly, I’m getting old. In that aspect, I’m no longer capable. I’d say I’m quite envious of you. Being young is great; I’m truly old now."

Seeing him say this, Chen Dashan couldn’t respond appropriately, so the Secretary continued, "When I was young, I was just as vigorous as you. I could go for an hour each time."

These words were mostly bluster.

Chen Dashan nodded as he listened, then said, "I’ll convey the Tianhai Lake project to President Wang today. What I promised you, I’ll definitely accomplish."

The Secretary nodded excitedly.

He further persuaded Chen Dashan, saying that women were like clothes, while brothers were like limbs, and one Xu Ruyan was not worth more than his relationship with Chen Dashan.

The two then exchanged some mutual compliments. Feeling awkward, Chen Dashan found an excuse and slipped away.

...

After leaving the Tianhai Lake resort, Chen Dashan drove his trusty car aimlessly around Longshan Town.

Half a month ago, he was still a crippled blind man. In the blink of an eye, even the top official of Longshan Town was flattering and currying favor from him. Life is like a play; as long as you don’t give up hope, you can turn things around.

No one knows what the future will hold.

He still needed to discuss the project with Wang Shiman.

Thinking of this, Chen Dashan made a U-turn and drove straight to Wang Shiman’s villa.

The villa area was typically a high-end residential neighborhood, well-located and with a good environment. Chen Dashan had been there twice before and was familiar with the route. He gave Wang Shiman a call; she was excited on the phone, saying she would wait for him at the door.

As soon as Chen Dashan parked his car, Wang Shiman rushed over, affectionately holding onto his arm, saying, "You’re finally here. It’s been so many days. I missed you so much."

Before she finished speaking, Wang Shiman dragged Chen Dashan inside the house, saying, "Come in, come in. It’s too hot outside. No one else is home today, just me. You absolutely have to give me a good massage."

Alone?

Well, before Chen Dashan could think more about it, they were already inside the villa. Wang Shiman pulled him straight to her bedroom.

The room had central air conditioning. Knowing he was coming, Wang Shiman had turned on the cooling in advance. The temperature was just right, and it felt very comfortable.

Seeing Chen Dashan standing still and looking around, Wang Shiman helplessly said, "Come here."

With that, she took off her shoes and got on the bed, lying down and looking back at the motionless Chen Dashan, saying, "Get on the bed. What are you standing there for?"

Get on the bed?

Recalling the earlier scene with Xu Ruyan, Chen Dashan felt a spark ignite in his lower abdomen, and his whole body began to heat up again.

"I have to say, the last massage really worked. I’ve been feeling so much better lately."

Wang Shiman spoke without any reservations, and in front of Chen Dashan, she directly took off her nightgown, revealing the lingerie underneath. She continued, "By the way, what do you think of the Tianhai Lake project?"

When the project was mentioned, Chen Dashan’s expression immediately became more serious.

The Sun and Moon Technique operated, and his broad hand rested on Wang Shiman’s delicate skin. She instantly felt her whole body stiffen, and every cell in her body seemed to come alive. Her body became very sensitive in that moment, Chen Dashan’s hand felt as if it had magic power, making her yearn for his touch.

"In my opinion, investing in the Tianhai Lake project is not a money-losing business."

Wang Shiman slightly turned her head, closing her phoenix eyes with a contented look, saying, "Oh? Tell me more."

Chen Dashan didn’t hold back and shared his thoughts: "The reason Longshan Town is so poor is, first, there are many mountains and few roads, making transportation underdeveloped. Second, the town is isolated with little information flow. The young people are uneducated and inexperienced, living a life of hard labor."

"But now it’s different. The ring road construction is almost reaching Longshan Town, and the surrounding towns are developing well. The highways are interconnected. The Secretary’s plan to develop a scenic area is actually a good project, but Longshan Town has been too poor and has had no money, so it has been delayed."

"Look at the nearby towns. Which one of their tourism projects lost money? If you compare the ecological environment, Longshan Town is even better than those towns. In another two years, when transportation becomes convenient, it won’t be the Secretary asking you to invest, but you asking the Secretary for a chance to invest."

Wang Shiman was stunned. She hadn’t expected Chen Dashan to have such a long-term vision.

Her charming eyes widened, and she grabbed Chen Dashan’s clothes with a serious expression, saying, "You’re right."

"Once transportation is developed, outside investors will all come in. By then, even if we want to invest, there will be no room left for us."

Having been in business for many years, Wang Shiman had a keen commercial sense. With Chen Dashan’s prompt, she immediately understood. She quickly picked up the phone and started calling the Secretary.

At that moment, the Secretary was sitting in a small car.

Looking at the view of Longshan Town outside the window, he wore a worried expression. The ten million yuan was undoubtedly a giant sum for Longshan Town. The town’s largest enterprise was Wang Shiman’s pharmaceutical factory.

If she didn’t want to invest, who else could he turn to?

Winning over Chen Dashan was the only option he had.

"You don’t need to worry too much about the project. Chen Dashan has promised me; there shouldn’t be any issues," Xu Ruyan said.

The Secretary withdrew his gaze and smiled, saying, "Chen Dashan is just a variable. You don’t understand Wang Shiman. This woman never acts without certainty. Asking her to invest in an unfinished project is undoubtedly a fool’s errand. But now, Chen Dashan is our last hope. Wang Shiman has been in business for many years, and she’s known for being ruthless and iron-fisted. I don’t think there’s much hope."

The Secretary sighed softly.

Could his future really end here in Longshan Town?

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..." Suddenly, the phone vibrated. The Secretary frowned and looked at the screen. After thinking for a moment, he pressed the answer button.

"Is this Secretary Liang?"

"I’m Wang Shiman from Fengyun Pharmaceutical Factory. I want to discuss the Tianhai Lake project with you..."

Roar!

Secretary Liang’s mind buzzed with excitement. Happiness had arrived too suddenly, like a timely rain. If Wang Shiman didn’t invest now, even if someone else invested in half a year, it would be too late. The project wouldn’t be completed or operational, and the credit would go to the next township secretary.

"I-I, about the project?"

Secretary Liang’s voice trembled with excitement, and he looked at Xu Ruyan beside him, saying, "Good, good, good. Are you deciding to invest?"

"Did I hear right? An initial ten million yuan? Additional investments later?"

Secretary Liang’s eyes sparkled, his cheeks flushed with excitement. After talking about the project, Wang Shiman laughed on the other end, saying, "Thanks to my brother Dashan. He just came back from you. Without him, I couldn’t have made this decision."

Chen Dashan?

Secretary Liang immediately understood and laughed, saying, "President Wang has a great brother. Not only is he handsome, but he also has a unique vision. A hero at a young age. I felt an instant connection with him, like an old friend despite the age difference."
