The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Chapter 469 Now it's your turn to choose!

The next day.

Everything proceeds as usual, except today is the last day.

Liang Yan kept her word last night and stayed up all night at the mourning hall. In the morning, Xu Yun told her to go to sleep in his car.

She didn't wake up to eat until noon.

Originally, the Chen family didn't have many social interactions, mainly consisting of nearby villagers and people close to Xu Yun.

But on this last day, everyone was a bit dumbfounded.

Starting early in the morning, the 2-kilometer-long road began to bustle with traffic, including various luxury cars, one after another, with a long line of vehicles parked.

So much so that people who came later had to park their cars a long way away and walk over.

Among these people were personnel from the municipal government, personnel from the county government, personnel from various engineering projects in Jiangcheng and the county, as well as relevant supplier factory owners.

Even a large number of local financial industry bigwigs drove over.

The key point is that he doesn't know any of these people, and none of them know him either.

But the other party seemed to know all the women with him.

People from the financial industry came up to Jian Shiwei, who was still writing the gift list, and greeted her with a smile, introducing themselves.

People from the entertainment industry greeted Liang Yan very politely.

A group of bigwigs from Jiangcheng City were speaking cautiously to Ning Qian, who was greeting customers, trying to get acquainted with her.

Some people in the media industry were chatting with Su Mu and trying to build a relationship.

Some fitness business owners were chatting and laughing with Li Jinshu.

Zheng Yi dealt with people from the county, while Zhu Jingheng dealt with various suppliers coming to his project.

In short, everyone around him suddenly became busy, leaving only him, Lin Zhengyu, and Lin Wanzhou relatively free.

Xu Yun was very puzzled as to how they knew about this place.

He then asked Ning Qian and learned that someone had filmed the scene and posted it online. He had only come to attend a funeral in his hometown, but there were so many beautiful women there.

Then, there were many online trolls, and when they saw a beautiful woman, everyone gave her a thumbs up, and she suddenly became popular online.

Do you believe it?
Then, the business owners who had business dealings with them naturally rushed over to show their sincerity after seeing the video.

That's why we're in this situation now.

"So that's it."

Xu Yun was surprised that this would work. Fortunately, he wasn't in the video, but even if he were, no one would recognize him.

However, this perfectly illustrates the saying that everyone in the world is clamoring for profit!
If their women didn't hold a lot of wealth and resources, would these bosses come to such a poor and remote place?
I doubt they'd even glance at it.

"It feels like we're just here to freeload."

Feeling a bit bored, Lin Zhengyu joked to himself, "Xu Yun, you need to find me something to do, otherwise I'll seem superfluous."

"Young Master, you're quite capable at work."

Xu Yun joked, "Why don't you sweep the floor later?"

"Ha, who do you think you are!"

Lin Zhengyu said, "Fine, I'll sweep then. Do you really think I can't do anything?"

"Then I'll go move the table."

Looking at the growing crowd, Lin Wanzhou said, "I think we don't have enough tables. We'll need to borrow some more from the local villagers."

"Ah."

Just then, a government official from the city finally noticed and recognized Xu Yun, and quickly walked over from Ning Qian's side.

He greeted him warmly, "President Xu."

"you are?"

Xu Yun looked at the middle-aged man who came to greet her, wearing an executive jacket and almost balding, with some confusion.

"My name is Jiang Tao, and I am the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau."

The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself, "I was there when you and Secretary Zhang were talking about the Chengnan Jiangzhong Peninsula project last time."

"Oh, sorry."

Xu Yun extended his hand to shake hands and said, "So it's Director Jiang. Welcome, welcome."

"I only found out that my family elder had passed away when I saw Mr. Ning doing things online."

Jiang Tao didn't mind at all. Instead, he explained, "That's why I came uninvited. On behalf of Secretary Zhang and the municipal government, I'd like to express my condolences. I hope I haven't bothered you."

He knew more about this than anyone else.

Although Ning Qian is currently in charge of the real estate, he knows the inside story. The man in front of him is the real boss, someone who can chat and laugh with Secretary Zhang.

Moreover, he now holds two other positions: a member of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference and a representative of the Municipal People's Congress.

This is of exceptional quality.

Based on his own speculation, Xu Yun was definitely not an ordinary businessman; he was probably from one of the powerful families.

"Your leaders care too much about the company."

Xu Yun said with a smile, "Please give my regards to Secretary Zhang. I'm always wandering around and haven't had time to report to the leaders."

"Definitely, definitely." Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Before I came, Secretary Zhang was still talking to me about you. After handing the project over to someone else, you disappeared."

"I'm just lazy, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Hey, I'm done sweeping, what's next?"

At this moment, Lin Zhengyu suddenly walked over with a broom, glanced casually at Jiang Tao, and said, "Who are you chatting with?"

"This is Director Jiang from the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau. He's very capable."

Xu Yun knew about Lin Zhengyu's family background, so he didn't bother to hide it and introduced him directly, saying, "Director Jiang, this is Lin Zhengyu, my friend. His whole family is also in the system."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao didn't take it to heart and politely replied, "Hello."

"Are you at the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau?"

Lin Zhengyu looked at him and asked, "Then you probably know my second uncle, Lin Weimin?"

"!!!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Tao felt a surge of emotion within him.

Lin Weimin, is he his second uncle?

That's a big shot, a very important person!
Jiang Tao, who had initially looked down on Xu Yun out of respect, suddenly had to re-examine the young man before him with greater caution.

Sure enough, no one around Xu Yun could be simple.

He quickly smiled and said, "Let's get to know each other. I've had the privilege of listening to the leaders' speeches at several meetings, and they were very impressive."

"Since you and Xu Yun are friends, then you are also my friends."

Lin Zhengyu laughed and said, "When I run into him next time I go home, I'll tell him about you and see if he remembers you."

"Isn't this not good?"

Jiang Tao, a man over fifty, was immediately a little excited and said, "The leader is very busy, how can we disturb him?"

"It's nothing, it was just something I said offhand."

After saying that, Lin Zhengyu turned to Xu Yun and asked again, "What am I supposed to do now? You're not going to make me scan it again, are you?"

"Take a break, then we'll get ready for dinner."

Xu Yun said, "If you really have nothing to do, then invite everyone to sit around the table and start eating once everyone is here."

"it is good."

As Lin Zhengyu went around hawking his wares, everyone started to sit down at the table.

The chefs in the kitchen were already prepared, and the waiters began serving the dishes. Compared to yesterday's casual home-cooked meal, tonight's meal was a proper dinner.

Of course, the quality of the dishes was also improved because all the ingredients were in place. They were prepared to five-star standards, with good wine and good food, and the standard was no less than 10,000.

This made the villagers extremely happy. They were willing to give a favor worth three or five hundred yuan and eat a meal worth tens of thousands of yuan. Looking at all the good things on the table, they had never eaten anything like them before.

The business owners who came were not surprised.

Who among them hasn't eaten these things?

The key point is that being able to sit at the table and eat this meal today is a rare opportunity.

Before the meal, Zheng Yi, as the person in charge of the funeral arrangements, began a series of customary speeches, while Zhang Sujuan, on behalf of Chen Xin, offered a toast to all the relatives and friends.

Fu Baoying, Ning Qian, Su Mu, and others stood up to show their respect because it was Auntie's wine.

Seeing this, the other bosses also quickly got up.

Then we started eating.

Zhang Sujuan sat at a table with a group of women, which was just right.

Xu Yun then sat down at a table with Lin Zhengyu, Lin Wanzhou, Tang Bo, and several other key government leaders from various cities and counties, where they drank and chatted.

After three drinks.

The government leaders and business owners began to say goodbye and drive away, while the women waved goodbye and left. The once lively night became quiet again before midnight.

Apart from some local villagers, most of the guests have left.

Tonight, everyone must stay up all night to keep vigil and cannot sleep until the funeral procession begins at 7 a.m. tomorrow.

Around 6 a.m., at the Taoist priest's reminder, everyone began to prepare.

But everyone soon realized a problem.

Because there are too few young and middle-aged people in the area, the men in their sixties could not keep up after carrying the coffin, which weighed several hundred kilograms, for a short while.

The village secretary quickly instructed the people carrying the heavy benches to place them under the coffin so that the coffin could rest for a while.

According to custom, once a funeral is held, the coffin cannot be placed on the ground during the procession.

"Director Zheng."

The village secretary approached Zheng Yi and said with some concern, "Because the location of the cemetery has changed and the road is difficult to travel, plus everyone is getting old, I'm afraid we might not make it in time for the auspicious ceremony."

"What should I do?"

Zheng Yi said somewhat angrily, "Didn't you make a promise to me that everyone could do it?"

"I never imagined this would happen."

Zheng Yi glared at him, then quickly went to find Xu Yun and explained the current situation, implying that the rest of them needed to lend a hand and help lift it together.

"no problem."

Xu Yun said to Lin Wanzhou, "Old Lin, let's go help carry the coffin."

"it is good."

Seeing this, Lin Zhengyu quickly said, "Don't look at me, I'm really not good at this."

"Young master, let me go help too."

Uncle Tang said with a smile, "Although I'm getting old, I still have some strength."

"Okay, let's go."

As a result, most of the pallbearers were replaced.

The group now consists of Xu Yun and Zheng Yi, Zhu Jingheng and the village secretary, and Lin Wanzhou and Tang Bo at the back, plus the original two people, making a total of eight.

Lin Wanzhou is a soldier, Tang Bo is a martial arts practitioner, and Xu Yun goes without saying.

So after they took over, carrying the coffin became much easier, and they walked steadily and quickly.

The other villagers who were also attending the funeral were full of admiration, never expecting that people from big cities could have such strength.

They traveled without stopping to bring the pre-dug cemetery.

The Taoist priest, seeing that it was an auspicious time of 7 o'clock, instructed everyone to carefully lower the coffin to the ground and cover it with soil. Then, a group of stonemasons who had been there for a while began to build the altar and erect the tombstone.

By the time everything was finished, it was already past 3 p.m.

Finally, they burned paper money and kowtowed in worship.

Only Xu Yun and Zhang Sujuan could handle this, since Chen Xin was pregnant with Xu Yun's child, which meant that Chen Xin's grandmother was also the child's grandmother.

As for the others, since they had no connection to the matter, it was inappropriate for them to simply stand by and watch.

Once everything had settled down, everyone returned to the house.

For some reason, Lin Zhengyu and Tang Bo needed to go home early, so a helicopter flew over to pick them up.

Zheng Yi and Zhu Jingheng finished their work, said goodbye to Xu Yun, and drove away without even staying for dinner.

In the end, only Lin Wanzhou remained.

However, his job is to ensure Xu Yun's safety, so it doesn't matter where he goes.

In the evening, after dinner, there were no outsiders left.

Xu Yun looked at the large table full of people and went to the inner room to invite Chen Xin out.

The old woman has already been laid to rest, so she no longer needs to be so cautious.

Xu Yun also wanted to bring Chen Xin's matter to the forefront tonight.

Therefore, among the women, apart from Xinuo and Fu Baoying who already knew, the other women's expressions changed when they saw Chen Xin's protruding belly.

For a moment, they were all stunned and looked at Xu Yun.

There was shock, doubt, and confusion.

Xu Yun helped Chen Xin sit down and said directly, "It's alright, let's start eating."

The meal was eaten in silence.

No one spoke, and Xu Yun didn't seem inclined to either.

I knew I'd finish eating in the end.

Zhang Sujuan and Lin Wanzhou knew that Xu Yun must have something to say, so they helped Chen Xin leave first, leaving the room for them.

"Chen Xin is pregnant, and the child is mine."

After finishing a bowl of soup, Xu Yun looked at everyone and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say or any questions you want to ask, say them now. I'm listening."

But not a single woman spoke up.

"Since you won't tell me, then I will."

Xu Yun said, "Xinuo and Baoying already knew about this and told me the answer. Now I want to ask the other people in your group for their answers."

First of all, Chen Xin will not marry me.

But she is definitely the daughter-in-law my mother has chosen. You don't need to argue about that, and you can't argue about it anyway.

And my relationship with you will not change because of Chen Xin's child; it will remain the same as before.

If you're willing, then stay by my side and keep things as they are.

If any of you are unwilling or feel wronged, I will let you leave and give you a sum of money, enough for you to live on for the rest of your lives.

Girls: "..."

"Alright, I've finished speaking."

Xu Yun looked at them and said, "Now it's your turn to choose."

"..."
