Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Desperate Dog Leaps Over the Wall, Mobilizing Family Power!

Xu Qianli’s words had just left his mouth when all the officials present, including Fan Wenbin, were dumbfounded.

With a forced laugh, Fan Wenbin said, "Junior Brother, you’re not joking, right? How could three days be enough? In three days, we won’t even have enough time to prepare the venue for the investment meeting, let alone advertise, create momentum, or do any promotion."

Not just Fan Wenbin, almost all the officials present thought that three days would definitely not be enough.

Even though Qingshan Town had good resources on hand, they had yet to be promoted. Without putting Qingshan Town’s tourism advantages out there, how could one expect good results?

In short, three days was just too rushed.

Xu Qianli said, "What advertising, promotion, and creating momentum? Completely unnecessary. As for the venue of the investment and fundraising meeting, I have already considered it—it will be held on the small hill by Chui Liu Village. Of course, I know this is a bit rushed, but after all, I have my considerations. ’The longer the night lasts, the more dreams will occur.’"

That phrase, ’The longer the night lasts, the more dreams will occur’, made all the officials grow tense.

Since Xu Qianli had said so, he must have his reasons.

In other words, the tourism investment plan for Qingshan Town might currently be facing some very serious threats. If there was any further delay, the plan could very likely be called off.

Fan Wenbin cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention.

"This matter is decided then. In three days, we will hold the investment and fundraising meeting on the small hill by Chui Liu Village. All departments must collaborate and ensure the successful convening of the investment and fundraising meeting!"

"Whoever dares to slack off, I will not let them off lightly!"

"No matter what, we must ensure the investment and fundraising meeting goes off without a hitch!"

The news that Qingshan Town would be hosting an investment and fundraising meeting in three days spread like wildfire.

As the Jiang City Magistrate, Lan Qianrong was the first to receive the news.

She was in her office discussing the livestock breeding plan for Qingshan Town with Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao, preparing to first compile the data into a detailed plan and then pass it at the County Government’s executive meeting before laying it out to Qingshan Town for implementation.

Who would have thought that news from Qingshan Town would come saying that the investment and fundraising meeting was to be held in just three days.

Lan Qianrong had thought that even if Xu Qianli had gained control of the situation in Qingshan Town, starting from preliminary investigations to sorting out the tourism resource material, producing a plan, and then advertising and promoting to the point of hosting an investment meeting would require at least four months.

She never anticipated that Xu Qianli would organize an investment and fundraising meeting so swiftly and set the date just three days away.

With such a short time frame, what could he do, and what would he be able to accomplish?

Zeng Changyun began to laugh, speaking in a cheery tone.

"That’s hilarious, just too funny."

"I never thought that guy Xu Qianli would be so crazy as to hold an investment and fundraising meeting so quickly."

"With such short notice, I doubt he can even prepare the venue for the investment meeting, not to mention organize a feasible plan for Qingshan Town’s tourism resources and promotion. Can he actually attract investors?"

Ding Biao was equally delighted, "I used to think that kid Xu Qianli had some skills, but now it seems he’s just a fool!"

"I think the fools are you two!"

Lan Qianrong suddenly spoke up, her cold eyes sweeping over Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao, followed by an even more forceful slam on the table.

"If Xu Qianli were truly the fool you all claim, could he have brought down Zhang Kuisan and left you in disarray, moreover, securing his footing in Qingshan Town in just one day?"

"Arrogance is possible, but one must never underestimate one’s opponent, especially when that opponent is Xu Qianli!"

"He’s formidable, his strengths are immense—you who once stood as his rivals should know this far better than I!"

"At this critical moment, it’s not about mocking him, but rather meticulously analyzing why he dares to convene an investment meeting so quickly—where does his confidence come from?"

Compared to Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao, Lan Qianrong hadn’t known Xu Qianli for long, but she fancied herself as understanding him quite well; he would never wage a battle he wasn’t confident of winning.

Since Xu Qianli dared to initiate an investment meeting for tourism in Qingshan Town so swiftly, he must surely have that confidence—what exactly was it?

Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao didn’t become Deputy County Magistrates by being fools, on the contrary, their minds were exceptionally shrewd.

Prodded by Lan Qianrong, they put aside their contempt and promptly conducted a specific analysis.

Soon, the three of them arrived at some conclusions.

The reason why Xu Qianli dared to hold the investment meeting so soon was likely because he had long since conducted a survey and analysis of Qingshan Town’s tourism resources and had already prepared a proposal in advance.

Lan Qianrong very much agreed with this point; after all, before she had an outright fallout with Xu Qianli, he had once seriously suggested to her the development of tourism in Qingshan Town.

The second conclusion was that Xu Qianli might already have reached a consensus with certain individuals, securing substantial investment.

Xu Qianli was cunning as a ghost and might have connected with some big-time boss during this time.

Not to mention anyone else, it was said that Fan Yao, the wealthiest in Zhongzhou City, had mentioned investing a large sum in Qingshan Town.

With these two conclusions drawn, all three had stern expressions. If things were as they suspected, then the upcoming investment meeting might very likely be a success.

If such a situation were to manifest, Lan Qianrong’s plan to turn Qingshan Town into a livestock breeding base to curb Xu Qianli’s development would be declared bankrupt.

If Xu Qianli managed to transform Qingshan Town into a high-end tourist town through tourism development and achieved enough results, he would certainly rise powerfully to the county level—a prospect Lan Qianrong was resolutely opposed to.

Lan Qianrong slammed her hand on the table.

"No, I will not allow that guy Xu Qianli to rise!"

"As long as I, Lan Qianrong, am here, he can forget about coming up again, let alone gaining enough merits to move up to the county level!"

"Xu Qianli, you just wait, I will see to it that your so-called Qingshan Town tourism investment meeting comes to naught!"

Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao exchanged glances, both failing to understand why Lan Qianrong bore such intense animosity towards Xu Qianli.

Did Xu Qianli sleep with her and then not acknowledge it, or did he kill her husband? Was she really justified in her hatred?

Zeng Changyun smacked his lips, wanting to ask, but in the end, he didn’t dare voice his question and instead spoke up, "With the current situation, the investment meeting in Qingshan Town is about to convene—what legitimate reason do we have to stop it? If we obstruct it forcibly without a suitable reason, it might leave a bad impression on the organization above, suggesting we are maliciously suppressing a subordinate. That wouldn’t be ideal."

After pondering for a while, Lan Qianrong had an idea, "Leave this matter to me; you don’t need to worry about it."

In the midst of speaking, Lan Qianrong gestured with her hand, indicating for Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao to beat it.

In her office alone, Lan Qianrong picked up her phone and made a call.

"Hello, mom, do me a favor, spread a message for me—block the tourism investment plan for Qingshan Town..."
