Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Betting on Three Nights of Your Gentleness, Lan Qianrong!

Listening to Lan Qianrong’s confidently self-assured words, Xu Qianli said indifferently, "Don’t be so smug just yet. Dare to make a bet with me?"

"A bet? What bet?"

Xu Qianli answered, "Very simple. We’re betting on whether I can secure over ten billion in funds at this investment drive in Qingshan Town. If I can, I win; otherwise, I lose."

"What? What did you say? You’re going to secure over ten billion in investment with this investment drive?"

On the other end of the phone, in the County Governor’s Office of the County Government, Lan Qianrong couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, thoroughly amused.

Xu Qianli, oh Xu Qianli, it’s just too ridiculous.

Even without Giant Communication Group’s suppression, Qingshan Town couldn’t possibly secure over ten billion in investment; after all, it’s just a small place, merely a poor town.

Now, with Giant Communication Group entering the fray, spreading news of a ban on Qingshan Town’s investment plan, Xu Qianli claims he can secure over ten billion in investment. That’s simply laughably ludicrous.

"Xu Qianli, have you gone mad?"

"I think you’ve been hit so hard, you’ve lost your mind!"

"I actually considered you a rival, but now it seems I was completely wrong, I overestimated you!"

Lan Qianrong didn’t mince her words as she mocked and ridiculed Xu Qianli, believing him to have truly gone insane.

"Lan Qianrong, never mind whether I’m crazy or not; I’m asking you, do you dare to bet?"

Lan Qianrong replied, "Fine, you’re so intent on making a bet, right? I agree. What do you want to wager?"

"Very simple. If I lose, I will resign from my position as Party Secretary of Qingshan Town and not only leave Qingshan Town but also quit politics altogether."

"If you lose, you’ll spend three nights with me!"

"How about it, do you dare?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Qianrong slammed her hand on the desk, roaring angrily.

"Xu Qianli, you bastard, I knew you were after my body!"

"Do you think my body is something someone like you can just touch at will?"

"But I can accept your bet. If you really can secure ten billion in investment, spending three nights with you is absolutely no problem."

"It’s just, are you capable? Considering the current situation, do you even have a slight chance of turning things around?"

"Alright, I don’t want to talk any more with you. Just remember what you said, don’t chicken out if you lose!"

With that, Lan Qianrong hung up the phone.

Her anger still had not subsided. Lan Qianrong’s already full chest rose and fell with even greater intensity, swelling to the point of pain.

That despicable Xu Qianli, at such a critical juncture, still dared to provoke her, wanting to sleep with her for three nights—how dare he!

What made Lan Qianrong even angrier was that, after learning Xu Qianli wanted to sleep with her for three nights, her body inexplicably began to feel hot, gradually becoming scorching. Her chest swelled uncomfortably, and her throat even felt a bit dry.

Though she was reluctant to admit it, Lan Qianrong was well aware that her mature and empty body seemed to be drawn to Xu Qianli, that man as robust as a tiger.

Damn it, it was all Xu Qianli’s fault.

She had been chaste for ten years for her husband and never had such feelings before. Now, it had become like this, all because of Xu Qianli.

"You bastard, just you wait. I, Lan Qianrong, will not only make sure the investment drive in Qingshan Town fails, but I also will completely ruin you. You just wait!"

...

The investment promotion preparation work in Qingshan Town was in full swing.

Although the news from Giant Communication Group had cast uncertainty over the future of the investment promotion conference, under Xu Qianli’s command, the cadre team of Qingshan Town managed to complete the preparatory work on schedule.

Early on the third day, Ge Changhong, as the top leader of Jiang City, accepted the invitation to come to Qingshan Town to oversee the event.

Upon arrival, he didn’t bother speaking much with the officials but pulled Xu Qianli aside to a secluded area.

"Xiao Xu, give me the lowdown—are we going to make it through today without losing face?"

Ge Changhong had long been aware of the message sent out by Giant Communication Group, and these past few days he could not have been more concerned about Qingshan Town’s investment promotion work.

If he were to come away empty-handed this time, it would be far more serious than merely losing face; he feared that the political climate in Jiang City would undergo a significant shift.

Moreover, the future of his good son-in-law, Xu Qianli, would be greatly affected.

Xu Qianli said, "Uncle Ge, rest assured. Even if it hails, this investment promotion conference will yield a great harvest. You can set your mind at ease."

"With your word, I feel reassured."

Ge Changhong said, nodding with a smile. He believed in Xu Qianli’s abilities. Since Xu Qianli could make such a claim, it was certain to be reliable.

Time passed by every second, and before long, it was morning. Xu Qianli led a group of people to the site of the investment conference, a small hill by the Chui Liu Village.

Xu Qianli had also arranged for over a dozen midibuses to transport visiting merchants from various places from the Qingshan Town Government Comprehensive Building to the hill.

As noon approached, merchants from different places had gradually arrived, and there were already about two to three hundred.

These people, upon arriving, were captivated by the lakes and mountains of Qingshan Town.

The scenery alone was exquisite—certainly a prime spot for tourism with great potential.

But just thinking of the announcement from Giant Communication Group caused most to have second thoughts.

No matter how promising the location, who in business would dare to offend Giant Communication Group?

Watching the reaction of the merchants, the cadres of Qingshan Town all broke out in a cold sweat, worrying about the outcome of today’s investment conference.

Xu Qianli appeared very calm, quietly waiting for the arrival of a few individuals.

He didn’t have to wait long; several familiar figures started to appear.

He Lili and He Caixia were the first to arrive. They merely exchanged glances with Xu Qianli from afar and did not greet him, going off to roam freely instead.

Ji Xiaomeng and Du Rumeng came together; having met each other through Xu Qianli, the two had become as close as sisters in just a few days.

Upon their arrival, they too did not greet Xu Qianli. Pretending not to know him, they wandered around the venue, taking in the beautiful lake and mountain scenery.

Soon after, Liang Yueru, looking like an enchanting fox spirit transformed into human form, arrived accompanied by Liang Mi, who was dressed up in a sun protective suit with sunglasses and a mask, looking like a wrapped zongzi.

After the sisters arrived, their gazes both landed on Xu Qianli.

Liang Yueru’s eyes were full of passion, while Liang Mi’s held a chill—both had entirely different attitudes toward Xu Qianli.

No matter whether it was warmth or coldness from them, Xu Qianli responded with a smile.

Time flew quickly, and soon it was almost noon. Xu Qianli kept waiting for one person who just didn’t show up.

It was the richest person in Zhongzhou City, Fan Yao; the petite lady with mature and extreme sex appeal had not appeared yet.

Just as the investment conference was about to begin, Xu Qianli suddenly received a message from Fan Yao.

"Xu Qianli, I’m sorry—there’s been a bit of a situation on my end, and there might be some changes regarding the investment plans in Qingshan Town."
