A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After a moment of reflection, Ye Yao went to find her father, Ye Sicheng, the CEO of Tengfei Group.

Ye Yao recounted all the information she had learned from Wei Zhiran, as well as the financing situation of the Mawei Post Station project.

After listening, Ye Sicheng pondered for a moment and said, "Go to Mawei Post Station and meet with Su Fan. If possible, we will invest whatever amount of money is needed for this project."

Ye Yao paused for a moment, then asked, "But we haven't tested this company + farmer model before. Isn't it too hasty? How about we subscribe to a portion on the platform first, see how it goes, and then decide?"

Ye Sicheng didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What do you think of Su Fan?"

Ye Yao thought for a moment and said seriously, "Among his peers, he should be an outstanding one. To go from an orphan to where he is today, just those few songs alone are something that not everyone can do. Moreover, the fact that he can be valued so much by Uncle Wei and that he can plan the Mawei Post Station project to this extent is truly remarkable."

Ye Sicheng nodded: "We should befriend such talented people. You understand that, right?"

Ye Yao nodded, indicating that she understood.

Ye Sicheng continued, "We all think highly of Su Fan, there's no need to dwell on that. Putting aside the person, let's look at the matter itself. Wei Zhirang is the head of the Culture and Tourism Bureau of Qin Province. Someone who can reach that position must have good judgment. The fact that he attaches great importance to the Mawei Post Station project and even publicly supports it through the official WeChat account of the Culture and Tourism Bureau shows that the project itself can withstand scrutiny."

Ye Yao hesitated for a moment, but still voiced her doubts: "But what if Uncle Wei has taken a liking to Su Fan as a person, and as a result, overestimates what he has done? If someone else were in charge, the results might not be the same."

Ye Sicheng laughed: "The fact that you could think of this shows that you've been using your brain."

Then, his smile faded, and his tone became more serious: "But you have to understand that Wei Zhirang is now openly supporting this on the official Weibo account. Do you think someone in his position would act without considering all aspects? If he were just judging people, he could have supported it privately without risking the reputation of the entire Bureau of Culture and Tourism. The fact that he dares to publicly endorse it shows that he has confidence in the project itself."

Ye Yao remained noncommittal.

Ye Sicheng slowed down his speech and said, word by word, "When we make judgments, we are simply looking at people and things. If either one is right, it is worth serious consideration. Now we have both people and things right. If we miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to come across it again."

"I understand, I'll go to Mawei Post Station right away."

Ye Sicheng nodded slightly and casually added, "Don't put on airs when you get there. That Su Fan is no ordinary person. It won't hurt to be humble when you talk to him."

……

Meanwhile, Xu Wenshan of Huasheng Entertainment also learned that the Mawei Post Station project was related to Su Fan.

He immediately rushed back to the old house and told his father, Xu Shuhan, about it.

After listening, Xu Shuhan said without any room for doubt, "We must support this project, and we will support it with all our might. The amount of funds needed over there is not much, so we will invest all of it."

Xu Wenshan nodded: "I'll arrange for someone to make the contact right away."

Xu Shuhan waved his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Let Xiaomeng go."

Xu Wenshan paused for a moment, then hesitated, "What about my older brother..."

Xu Shuhan interrupted directly: "I'll talk to him. Besides, he saved Xiaomeng, so he should thank him in person. It's perfectly reasonable for Xiaomeng to go."

Xu Wenshan asked, "Should we tell Xiaomeng about Su Fan's identity?"

Xu Shuhan said, "Don't mention the relationship between Su Fan and Master Zhang to anyone, including Xiao Meng."

Xu Wenshan nodded: "Okay, I won't tell."

……

At this moment, Xu Meng is sitting in a coffee shop in the city center, opposite He Xiaoxiao.

He Xiaoxiao is an artist signed with Huasheng Entertainment, but she is quite different from ordinary artists.

Because her maternal grandfather was Qu Feiming.

He Xiaoxiao was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly asked, "Have you seen what Su Fan posted on Weibo?"

Xu Meng responded, "I saw it, and I even donated 5,000 yuan."

He Xiaoxiao leaned closer, her expression shifting from curiosity to mischief: "I knew you'd be interested in him. Tell me honestly, he saved you, are you planning to repay him with your body?"

Xu Meng looked up and glared at her: "What are you talking about? I just thought it was a good deal, and I'll need it when I go to Mawei Post Station, so I supported you."

"Who are you trying to fool? You fell into the water there. I don't believe you would want to go back there. I think you've just fallen for someone else."

"Are you ever going to stop? If you say another word, I'm leaving."

He Xiaoxiao's tone softened, but the gossip in her words didn't diminish at all: "Don't you understand what I mean? I'm telling you, you can't date that guy, otherwise I'll feel like I'm a generation below you."

"Alright, stop worrying about it. I don't even know him." After saying that, Xu Meng asked again, "By the way, did your grandfather accept him as his last disciple?"

He Xiaoxiao leaned back in her chair, spread her hands, and looked somewhat helpless: "He probably did accept it. I asked my grandfather, and he neither admitted nor denied it. But if he didn't accept it, would he post a photo of them together on social media?"

Xu Meng thought for a moment and said, "That means they've accepted it. I guess some of the rituals haven't ended yet."

"So you can't date him. Think about it, he's my maternal grandfather's apprentice, which means he's a generation older than me. If you two get together, you'll be a generation older too."

Xu Meng was amused by her serious nonsense: "Alright, what kind of nonsense is going on in your head all day long?"

Just then, Xu Meng's phone rang; it was Xu Wenshan calling.

She answered the phone, and Xu Wenshan's voice came through the receiver, brief and concise, explaining the situation.

"For the Mawei Post Station project, go to Qin Province, meet with Su Fan, discuss the investment, and also thank him in person for saving your life back then."

Xu Meng readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, He Xiaoxiao leaned closer: "Who was that? What's up?"

Xu Meng put down her phone and said, "My second uncle wants me to go to Qin Province."

He Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, and she asked curiously, "What are you going there for? Are you really going to go and try to build connections?"

Xu Meng glanced at her and said irritably, "What are you talking about? My second uncle asked me to go and discuss financing for the Mawei Post Station project."

"It's not just about building connections. Wait a minute, doesn't the company have a dedicated team for discussing financing? Why are you being asked to go?"

Xu Meng explained, "The person in charge of that project is that guy named Su Fan. My second uncle asked me to go over there and thank him."

He Xiaoxiao said in a serious tone, "I seriously suspect that your second uncle wants you to use your beauty to seduce him."

Xu Meng was too lazy to argue with her, so she stood up and grabbed her bag: "Are you going or not? If not, I'm leaving first."

He Xiaoxiao immediately stood up as well, grabbed her coat and put it on: "Let's go! It's a publicly funded trip, why shouldn't we go?"

"Aren't you afraid to meet your elders anymore?"

"I don't believe it. He's about my age; it's more like he should be calling me 'older sister.'"

"Okay, okay, you're the boss. Let's go, I'll have the company book the plane tickets."
