The Fierce and Powerful Immortal Physician

"Zeyu should be arriving soon; they say there's traffic on the way."

Xia Zixuan looked towards the parking lot.

"Xiao Hao has other plans for today. He said he'll come over later to sit down. Let's go in and order some food, and wait for them inside."

Xia Ziruo glanced at the message Zhou Hao had replied to on her phone.

"He acts like he's the most important person Mayor Guo is hosting today~ Tsk tsk, there are other arrangements too, it's hilarious, what's with the airs? Come on in."

Qiu Shulan rolled her eyes.

"Mom, could you please stop gossiping about others behind their backs?"

Xia Ziruo was speechless. This mother of hers was really out of her mind, not caring about the place or the occasion.

Subsequently,

The group went to the banquet room on the first floor, where two waiters greeted them warmly and politely. Xia Ziruo was busy coordinating the order of dishes and drinks.

"Xiaofeng, you've been a huge help to our family this time. Auntie really wants to thank you!"

Qiu Shulan grew increasingly fond of Jin Feng, her smile impossible to hide: "If you hadn't gone to Heilong to bribe him, Zi Ruo would have been in real trouble."

"And Zixuan's admission to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was also thanks to your connections; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get in at all."

"Auntie, Uncle, this is nothing, it's just a small favor for Zi Ruo."

Jin Feng feigned modesty, but his face was filled with arrogance and pride.

"Mom, just keep praising Xiaofeng, don't forget about Zeyu's contribution too!"

Xia Zixuan reminded her, somewhat displeased.

"Yes, that time I went to Feilong Group with my uncle and we negotiated with Heilong for a long time before he finally agreed to release Sister Ziruo."

Just then, Shen Zeyu rushed over and chimed in: "Uncle, Auntie, I'm sorry, I was delayed by traffic."

"Zeyu, sit down, it's alright, there's still plenty of time~ Yes, yes, Auntie remembers your help~"

Qiu Shulan got even more excited, her pink face almost turning into a chrysanthemum with laughter.

Shen Zeyu is a true scion of a wealthy family, rich and powerful, with an extraordinary bearing, on par with Jin Feng. These two future sons-in-law are the face of the Xia family.

"Mom, Dad, Little Sister, I need to clarify something. It was Xiao Hao who rescued me from Heilong. I experienced it firsthand. He deserves credit, even if he didn't do anything special."

"And my younger sister got into the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, which was only processed so quickly because Xiao Hao went to see Dean Luo. We shouldn't be ungrateful; Xiao Hao will be heartbroken."

Xia Ziruo, who had just finished her work, interjected.

As soon as he finished speaking,

Jin Feng, Qiao Xiaojun, Chu Hong, and Shen Zeyu awkwardly picked up their cups to drink tea, trying to hide their embarrassment. Only they knew in their hearts that what Xia Ziruo said was true and how shameless they were.

However, they were all happy to trample Zhou Hao under their feet.

Jin Feng and Shen Zeyu, in particular, wished they could kill Zhou Hao, their rival in love.

"I did see him at Feilong Group that day, but it's hard to say whether he saw Heilong. Everyone's having a tough time," Jin Feng said with an awkward laugh.

"Yes, my great-uncle and I saw him too. He was hiding in the hall and didn't dare to go upstairs. Even after we left, he was still hesitating. He was probably worried about getting beaten up. It's kind of funny."

Shen Zeyu seized the opportunity to deliver the finishing blow.

"Tsk tsk, look at this, how could someone like this be worthy of our Zixuan~"

Qiu Shulan, with an air of utter clarity, spoke with disdain:

"We only treated him like family because we pitied him, but this guy is a bit arrogant and doesn't know his place, humph."

"Mom, I can't stand you belittling Xiaohao like that! Xiaohao is kind, responsible, and a real man. He's family to us!"

Xia Ziruo couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Alright, everyone deserves credit!"

Seeing Xia Ziruo protecting Zhou Hao like a hen with its feathers ruffled, Jin Feng felt a pang of jealousy, but on the surface, he quickly changed the subject:

"I have a great opportunity to share. In recent years, the country has been vigorously developing the traditional Chinese medicine industry, and the municipal government has actively responded."

We plan to build a large-scale Chinese medicinal herb planting base in the suburbs to address the problems of scattered and unregulated medicinal herb cultivation in Yunyang City, as well as the lack of quality assurance.

The land in Yagang Village and Qingfeng Village has been confirmed to be expropriated, and the expropriation will take place within two months at most. However, this information is top secret and is only known to members of the municipal party committee.

If we lease 5,000 acres of land in advance, build some basic infrastructure on it, and then expropriate it at the value of commercial land, we'll make a fortune!

An investment of 100 million can yield at least 2 billion in return. I personally invested 30 million. Chai Wen and Du Xiaowei weren't here today; they each invested 10 million.

As soon as he finished speaking,

The room fell silent, but everyone's mind began to race.

Who wouldn't be tempted by a profit of twenty times?

Who wouldn't want to become rich overnight and rise above others?

"I'll invest 20 million."

Qiao Xiaojun followed up seamlessly.

"Of course I won't miss this opportunity to make money. I'll invest ten million." Chu Hong was determined to stand firm, and besides, she had a pretty good faith in this opportunity.

After all, Jin Feng's father was a member of the leadership team in charge of pharmaceuticals, so he must have the most reliable inside information.

"Great, we've raised 80 million so far, we still need 20 million more!"

Jin Feng looked at Qiu Shulan's family and said meaningfully:

"Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another. A chance to get rich is rare, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to strike it rich. I'm only sharing this because my aunt and uncle have been so good to me."

Otherwise, my friends would have snatched up all the shares long ago. This is a hundred times better than struggling to make a few bucks running a small company.

"Our family invested ten million."

Qiu Shulan's eyes lit up as she listened, she could no longer contain herself.

A 20-fold profit! An investment of 10 million can turn into 200 million in just two months, instantly making you a billionaire. Just thinking about it is exciting.

This future son-in-law is a real catch! My mother has excellent taste.

The children of officials can make a fortune just by talking, while old men can barely make ends meet even if they work themselves to the bone all year round.

She was increasingly impressed with her own intelligence.

"Young Master Feng, how can you obtain a commercial land use permit for leased rural land in such a short time?" Shen Zeyu, after all, was the owner of a construction engineering company, and he found it hard to believe.

"Yes, it's very difficult to get approval to convert agricultural land into commercial land." Although Xia Zhongjing was honest, he also ran a company and knew that things were complicated in this area.

"Hey, getting a permit is easy. All the procedures can be completed within three days. It's just a matter of my dad's word. The construction of this Chinese medicinal herb planting base was also approved by my dad before it was put on the agenda."

Our top priority now is to sign land lease agreements with these two villages before anyone else does.

Jin Feng's eyes were arrogant, and he looked confident and certain of victory.

"If we can get the approval, it's worth the gamble—I'll invest ten million."

Shen Zeyu's inner thoughts were already running wild.

They've already made several million from the Xia family, and then squeezed several million more out of the contractors below them; ten million is achievable.

Even if I lose money, I haven't invested a single penny, so there's no real loss. But if I win the bet, I can completely turn my life around and become a true billionaire.

From now on, he could hold his head high in the Shen family and no longer have to worry about the eldest son and his father's feelings.

"It's not that easy. Our family isn't investing for now. Besides, we're short on funds right now and don't have that much money to put in."

Xia Zhongjing was honest but cautious. He felt the risk was too great, especially since they had already spent several million, emptying their savings. This was something the Xia family couldn't afford.

"Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. I'm the one who makes the decisions on this matter. We'll invest ten million, it's settled."

Qiu Shulan rolled her eyes and interrupted Xia Zhongjing with displeasure.

Honest people are afraid of everything and end up as useless cowards who accomplish nothing.
