Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1170: True Proof (46)

"President Chang, trust me, Wen County and Shifeng Mountain will be Haicheng Group’s most successful investment!"

Facing the billionaire businesswoman before him, Wang Chen exuded such composure and confidence that he didn’t seem like a teenager at all.

This overwhelming self-assurance had a profound impact on the seasoned businesswoman, Chang Qian.

When she made the decision to invest in Wen County, many people in Haicheng Group, including some shareholders, were skeptical.

Prior to this, almost no one had heard of Wen County, let alone known what kind of place it was.

And upon understanding it better, they found it even more unbelievable.

A small town in a remote area with few people, limited resources, and underdeveloped industries... Haicheng Group, which had never ventured into tourism, planned to invest heavily in developing such a place.

"Has President Chang lost her mind?"

Of course, no one dared to voice such thoughts aloud, but there were very few who genuinely supported the decision. Essentially, no one saw any promise in it.

Though Chang Qian wielded substantial control over the company, she still had to answer to shareholders and investors, which naturally entailed facing considerable pressure.

Moments ago, she had used this pressure to subtly test Wang Chen.

But Wang Chen had deflected it back with ease.

Chang Qian could only smile lightly, "Let’s hope so."

Wang Chen asked nonchalantly, "President Chang, how was the effect of the cucumbers?"

For a moment, Chang Qian was taken aback.

Wang Chen’s question could easily lead to some misunderstanding, but Chang Qian didn’t overthink it. Her mind went directly to the cucumber slices Wang Chen had gifted her, which worked far better as a facial treatment than any skincare product.

They were all-natural, non-irritating, and had zero side effects.

If these could be further processed and the essence extracted to create cosmetics, imagine their value!

Every woman would likely go crazy over it!

Chang Qian also thought of the tomatoes and ketchup Wang Chen had given Xie Yunyao before—equally remarkable products!

She couldn’t help but swallow as she asked, "Are you suggesting that these can be cultivated and planted in the Shifeng Mountain area?"

Talking to smart people truly saves effort!

Wang Chen nodded and said, "Ecological development, green tourism, and natural wellness—turning Shifeng Mountain into a world-class leisure and vacation destination is the goal of my collaboration with Haicheng Group, or, more specifically, with you."

If Chang Qian was willing to bear the huge upfront costs, then Wang Chen was more than happy to set up large-scale Spirit Planting Arrays or Spirit Gathering Arrays in the Shifeng Mountain area, creating an unparalleled miracle landscape.

Every penny Haicheng Group invests now could generate tremendous returns a thousand- or even ten-thousand-fold in the future!

Moreover, Wang Chen could help his father achieve enormous breakthroughs in his career while also bringing prosperity and affluence to his hometown.

A win-win!

Chang Qian took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with a peculiar brilliance.

She extended her hand toward Wang Chen, "Then it’s a deal!"

Initially, Chang Qian truly intended to invest in Wang Chen as an Alien rather than Wen County or Shifeng Mountain.

Only now did she realize the scale at which Wang Chen was operating!

Chang Qian never lacked the soul strength or courage to place big bets.

"It’s a deal!"

Wang Chen shook her hand.

Chang Qian fetched a bag she had with her and first pulled out a small box of purple sandalwood to give to Wang Chen.

The box was filled with mutton fat white jade seed material!

After that, she handed Wang Chen a credit card: "This black card has a maximum overdraft limit of ten million. Consider it a small token of my appreciation. I hope you’ll accept it."

By choosing to trust and invest in Wang Chen, her boldness was unmatched by ordinary people.

"Thank you."

Wang Chen thought for a moment and accepted the card without the slightest embarrassment.

Such a small amount of money hardly mattered to Wang Chen.

Though, at this moment, he genuinely needed it, so he didn’t reject Chang Qian’s kind gesture.

As he toyed with the black card in his hand, a thought suddenly occurred to Wang Chen.

Was this technically being BY-ed by a wealthy woman?

He couldn’t help but chuckle.

"By the way."

Chang Qian, perceptive, suddenly added, "The day after tomorrow is Yaoyao’s seventeenth birthday. If you’re free, could you attend her birthday banquet?"

"I think Yaoyao would be overjoyed to see you!"

Wang Chen hesitated briefly.

He didn’t have much interest in attending Xie Yunyao’s birthday banquet. But having just finalized their agreement and received her jade seed material and black card, it felt disrespectful to decline such a simple request.

Wang Chen sighed helplessly, "I haven’t really prepared anything."

Xie Yunyao’s seventeenth birthday banquet was bound to be high-end and extravagant, with guests undoubtedly being Huhai’s elite socialites.

Although Wang Chen wasn’t intimidated by any scene or anyone, he didn’t want to go only to be judged or criticized.

Unnecessary troubles.

"That’s easy."

Chang Qian answered without hesitation, "I’ll take care of everything!"

She made a phone call, and soon, a team arrived at the hotel with large packages.

A stylist tailored a perfect outfit for Wang Chen based on his physique, including luxury-brand suits, belts, shoes, cufflinks, and even a watch!

Even though Wang Chen wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about luxury brands, he could tell the attire was extravagant and costly.

Yet his heart remained calm, accepting Chang Qian’s arrangements without a ripple of excitement.

After seeing Wang Chen’s new look, Chang Qian felt a hint of regret. "It’s a pity there’s not enough time; otherwise, ordering a high-end bespoke suit would’ve been even better."

High-end custom clothing often had months-long lead times, and even expedited orders wouldn’t make it in time for the day after tomorrow’s banquet.

"This is already great."

Wang Chen took off the freshly donned suit and smiled, "Thank you for the trouble."

"It’s me troubling you, actually."

Chang Qian shook her head, saying, "I just hope Yaoyao will be happy."

Her words carried a subtle and deeper meaning.

After Chang Qian left, Wang Chen sent a message to Xie Yunyao: "I heard the day after tomorrow is your birthday?"

Xie Yunyao replied quickly, "Yeah! It’d be great if you could come to my birthday party (smiling face.jpg)."

Wang Chen: "I’m currently in Huhai."

Xie Yunyao: "Huh? Really? You better not be lying to me!"

Wang Chen: "I just met your mom, and she invited me to your birthday banquet."

Xie Yunyao: "That’s awesome! Where are you now? Got time to meet up? I’m about to have dinner with some friends; if you haven’t eaten yet, you can join us."

Perhaps it was because she was in her element that her tone on WeChat became more enthusiastic.

Wang Chen glanced at the time but didn’t respond immediately.

Xie Yunyao: "It’s just my two best friends; they want to meet you too. Please say yes (pleading face.jpg)."

Wang Chen: "Alright, I’ll come over."

Xie Yunyao immediately sent him an address: "We’ll wait for you!"

Wang Chen left the hotel, flagged down a taxi, and headed toward the restaurant at the location provided by Xie Yunyao.

At the restaurant, Wang Chen met Xie Yunyao and her two friends.
