A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Just then, He Xiaoxiao's phone rang.

She looked down and saw her maternal grandfather on the screen.

He Xiaoxiao held up her phone and waved it at Su Fan: "Alright, I'll have your master talk to you in a bit."

Su Fan's mind raced for a moment, then he thought, "Master? Could this carefree girl in front of me be Master's illegitimate daughter?"

Before he could speak, He Xiaoxiao had already turned on speakerphone, and Qu Feiming's voice came through the receiver: "Xiaoxiao, I saw your WeChat Moments. Are you at Mawei Post Station right now?"

He Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Fan, her smile widening: "Yes, I'm not only here, but I'm also with your closed-door disciple, Su Fan."

Qu Feiming quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense, you're being disrespectful."

Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "So she's not an illegitimate daughter, but a grand-disciple. That doesn't seem right either; the generational difference is quite significant."

He Xiaoxiao asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to see me about?"

Qu Feiming cleared his throat: "I'll let you see if Xiao...Fan needs any funding for his project. If you can help, then help him out."

He Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Fan and deliberately dragged out her words: "Some people have no shortage of money right now; they won't even take money offered to them."

Qu Feiming was visibly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

He Xiaoxiao explained, "I'm with Sister Ye Yao and Xu Meng right now. We're all here to give him money, but he doesn't even want it."

Qu Feiming's tone turned serious: "How can you talk like that? If others don't want your money, it means the project funding is already sufficient. Don't be so sarcastic and make people think you're impolite."

He Xiaoxiao pouted and muttered unconvinced, "I'm just stating the facts. Why don't you ask him yourself? And while you're at it, help us get some shares."

After saying that, without waiting for Qu Feiming's response, he shoved the phone into Su Fan's hand.

Su Fan, holding his phone, coughed lightly: "Mr. Qu, this is Su Fan."

Qu Feiming's voice immediately changed: "Xiao... Fan, I heard your project is raising funds. Do you still need money? I have some here. Give me your bank account number and I'll transfer it to you."

The three women standing nearby were all stunned when they heard this.

They looked at each other, their faces all bearing the same expression.

What's going on?

Is Qu Feiming actively begging to give people money?

Su Fan's reaction was even more baffling to them.

"Mr. Qu, the money issue has been resolved. If you're interested in this project, I'll reserve two percentage points for you, and you can count it as your share."

Qu Feiming agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll transfer the money to you right away."

……

After exchanging a few casual words, the call ended.

Ye Yao had a strange feeling that there was something off about their conversation.

He Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, finally unable to hold back any longer: "Didn't you say you couldn't come up with shares? How come you have them now?"

Su Fan explained, "That's a personal matter. Elder Qu called me personally, so I couldn't not show some appreciation."

Su Fan does indeed have some shares that he can freely dispose of, not many, only eight percent.

Two of the locations were reserved for the orphanage, two for Longhu Mountain, and he kept the rest for future use.

Qu Feiming's call wasn't about the project; it was about him as a person.

He could sense this sentiment.

Putting himself in her shoes, Su Fan felt he should also show some appreciation.

That's why the idea of ​​giving up some shares was proposed.

At this moment, Ye Yao said half-jokingly, "How about I make a phone call and see if I can squeeze some money out of you?"

Su Fan said with a smile, "You don't actually need to be so fixated on the shares of this project. If you're interested, the next project won't go online; we'll just approach you big spenders directly for donations."

"Are there any other projects?" the three women asked in unison.

Su Fan said, "There's a lot more, including cultural and creative products, hotel management, and so on, which we haven't even started yet. By the way, we're planning to do something on a travel platform recently. If you're interested, we can talk about it."

Su Fan was referring to the travel platform he had mentioned to Wei Zhiran before.

He's only revealing this now because it was a decision he made on the spur of the moment.

Because, on this occasion, Ye Yao is present, Xu Meng is present, and behind them stand Tengfei Group and Huasheng Entertainment, one a leading enterprise in the cultural tourism industry and the other a giant in the entertainment industry.

If we can bring these two companies on board, the platform will be starting from a very high level.

Ye Yao asked, "The travel platform you're talking about, is it the kind of OTA that's common nowadays?"

Su Fan said, "Yes and no, the functions are similar, such as booking tickets, booking hotels, and making travel plans. But we want to do more than that. We want to rely on the platform and add private domain operations."

Ye Yao asked, "Is this somewhat like the concept of a community?"

Su Fan nodded: "More or less, but the platform is just the entry point. The back end is the supply chain, private domain traffic, and a complete cultural tourism ecosystem. This cannot be accomplished overnight, but if the direction is right, the road is not afraid of being far. If you agree, Qin Province's cultural tourism will also participate in this platform."

Ye Yao immediately declared, "We'll invest in this project!"

Xu Meng also stated, "I also represent Huasheng Entertainment by holding a stake in the company."

He Xiaoxiao looked at this one, then at that one, and spread her hands: "I'm just a bystander. Don't look down on me, I don't have any money. But my grandpa thinks highly of you, so I'll go to him later and get some money for him."

The platform's financing was settled in just a few words.

At noon, Pan Lei arranged a table at a small restaurant in the village.

The dishes were farm-style, the chicken was freshly killed in the yard, the fish was just caught from the reservoir, and the tofu was ordered by Aunt Wang next door that morning.

After several dishes, He Xiaoxiao suddenly put down her chopsticks, picked up her phone, and shouted to everyone at the table, "Come on, let's take a group photo! To celebrate the official establishment of our shareholders' meeting!"

Ye Yao and Xu Meng were both speechless as they looked at her.

Su Fan didn't mind and cooperated by taking photos.

After taking the photos, He Xiaoxiao opened her Weibo account.

Upload the photo with the caption: "The first shareholders' meeting was a complete success!"

He Xiaoxiao is an artist under Huasheng Entertainment and has a considerable number of fans.

The comment section immediately became lively after the post was published.

"A shareholders' meeting? Held at a dinner table? That's so down-to-earth!"

"Isn't that Su Fan? What big project are Xiaoxiao and he up to together?"

"I admit, I zoomed in and looked at it three times to confirm it's Su Fan!"

"Who are the other two? I've never seen them before. Can someone tell me?"

"Are they talking about the Mawei Post Station project? Is it too late for me to become a shareholder?"

"Now that Xiaoxiao and Su Fan are hanging out together, will Su Fan write songs for Xiaoxiao in the future?"
