A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After Su Fan left, only Jiang Wenli and Lin Chongguang remained in the room.

At this moment, Jiang Wenli spoke up, "This kid is a real tough nut to crack. I'm still a little worried. Will he mess up something this big?"

Lin Chongguang countered, "Do you think it's better to have a rigid, rule-abiding person do this, or someone like him? We need someone who can adapt to changing circumstances. Being too conventional will only hinder our actions."

Jiang Wenli still had some concerns: "But he's still too young. Should we find him a deputy?"

Lin Chongguang shook his head: "Is there a suitable person? Instead of forcing someone in, we should let him do it. Besides, he can navigate the murky waters of the entertainment industry with ease, bring wealth to his hometown, and manage the relationships between the cultural and tourism departments of various provinces very well. This shows that he is not reckless. Assigning him a deputy would only get in the way."

"Then let us protect him and guide him, at least until he grows up."

"We just need to keep an eye on the general direction; let him handle the specifics himself."

Jiang Wenli asked worriedly, "But if he sets up an entertainment company in Kyoto, won't he be targeted?"

Lin Chongguang said with a smile, "First of all, that kid is no pushover, and secondly, his background is not simple either."

"You mean Master Zhang from Longhu Mountain?" Jiang Wenli asked. "By the way, we did all this without informing Master Zhang. Won't he think we're plotting against his disciple?"

Lin Chongguang waved his hand: "You underestimate Master Zhang. In some matters, he is much more radical than we are."

Speaking of this, Lin Chongguang thought of Zhang Lingyuan, who fought on the battlefield back then.

As he thought about it, he smiled.

That evening, Linna treated everyone to a private room at a Peking duck restaurant in Kyoto.

To make it more lively, Lin Na also called over Ye Yun, Ye Yao, Xu Meng, and He Xiaoxiao.

Su Fan did not drink a drop of alcohol during the meal.

He Xiaoxiao was the first to notice something was wrong and asked, "Old Su, aren't you drinking tonight?"

Su Fan said, "What are you drinking for? Are you going to drink too much so you can record a video to blackmail me?"

"I was recording your glorious moments," He Xiaoxiao forced an explanation.

"Thank you!"

At this point, Lin Na said, "I won't drink with him anymore. Last time we drank together, his rendition of 'Green Flowers in the Army' almost made me take the blame."

Su Fan chuckled awkwardly: "Coincidence, purely coincidence."

That concludes our discussion on alcohol.

At this moment, He Xiaoxiao asked, "By the way, Lao Su, what brings you to Kyoto?"

Su Fan said, "I've come here to experience the capital's atmosphere. I didn't get to fully enjoy it last time, so I'm definitely going to explore it properly this time."

He Xiaoxiao casually added, "Then you definitely have to try the old Beijing douzhi (fermented mung bean juice)."

"Don't try to trick me. I've watched all those videos online about challenging people to drink douzhi (fermented mung bean juice)," Su Fan said, looking like he knew a lot.

He Xiaoxiao chuckled: "What if you actually like that?"

Su Fan picked up a slice of roast duck, rolled it up, and said, "I still prefer Kyoto roast duck."

At this point, Ye Yao changed the subject: "Su Fan, would you like to develop your career in Kyoto?"

Su Fan chewed on roast duck, his mouth full of mucus, and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Ye Yao said, "Our Tengfei recently started a special investment fund. Are you interested in participating?"

Ye Yao said this entirely to strengthen the connection between Tengfei Group and Su Fan.

Of course, this was also intended to ease the tension between Su Fan and Ye Xuan.

Ye Yao continued, "It's about revitalizing assets through capital, and now most of the Kyoto circle is involved in this."

Lin Na, who was listening nearby, found her beating around the bush and cut to the chase: "Hey, let me explain. Ye Xuan is the one in charge of this. Xiao Yao, besides wanting to bring you in, also wants to take this opportunity to ease the tension between you two."

Su Fan didn't rush to answer, but instead asked, "When did this investment begin?"

Ye Yao thought for a moment: "The 5th of last month."

Su Fan silently calculated in his mind that the 5th of last month was shortly after Ye Xuan obtained his hair. He muttered to himself, "Is Ye Xuan planning to run away after making this fuss?"

The timing was right, so Su Fan asked, "Would it be convenient to explain in detail?"

So Ye Yao recounted Ye Xuan's proposal for a special investment fund.

After listening, Su Fan remained expressionless. Lin Na, unaware of his expression, advised him from the side, "I don't think there's any major conflict between you and Xiao Xuanzi. Maybe you can use this cooperation to resolve past grievances and even create more collaborations."

Everyone looked at Su Fan, waiting for his answer.

Su Fan did not answer the question directly, but said, "I'm also planning to do some things in Kyoto, so the funds will be transferred to the new company, and I don't have any spare money for other things for the time being."

Su Fan was indirectly rejecting Ye Yao's suggestion.

Everyone was actually prepared for Su Fan's rejection.

But everyone became interested in his idea of ​​starting a company in Kyoto.

Xu Meng asked, "Are you going to open a company in Kyoto?"

He Xiaoxiao was even more direct: "Do you need investment? I made a fortune on the Mawei Post Station project. Whatever you're up to, I'll follow without hesitation."

Ye Yao also said, "Just ask, money is not a problem."

Su Fan glanced at them, chuckled, and said, half-jokingly, "Aren't you afraid I'll take the money and run away?"

He Xiaoxiao said, "Why are you running away? Do you think you can transfer the money overseas?"

Su Fan replied matter-of-factly, "That's not necessarily true. What if I take your money and run away? What can you do to me then? After all, this is no small sum of money, and money has always been a powerful motivator."

In fact, Su Fan was pointing out what Ye Xuan was doing when he said those things.

With Ye Yun and Ye Yao present, and without absolute evidence, he dared not speak openly.

But he also had a vague feeling that Ye Xuan was up to something, which is why he subtly reminded him in his words.

At this moment, He Xiaoxiao provided a crucial assist: "So, according to you, Ye Xuan has raised so much money, does that mean he's going to run away too?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her mistake and quickly waved her hand, "Sister Yun, Sister Yao, I just said it casually, please don't take it to heart."

Everyone knows He Xiaoxiao's personality, so no one really cares.

But Ye Yun frowned slightly after hearing this.

She wasn't angry at He Xiaoxiao, but she suddenly thought that Ye Xuan had always been a good-for-nothing playboy, and suddenly he raised such a large sum of money in just over a month. Could it be that someone was setting him up?

Just then, Su Fan said directly, "So, I don't plan to ask for your money for what I'm going to do next. I'm afraid that if I face the temptation of so much money, I won't be able to control myself and will embark on a path of no return."
