The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

After the press conference ended, a group of village officials and some villagers gathered around, looking at Chen Jun not far away with sincere gratitude on their faces.

Everyone knows that this trillion-yuan investment, which is enough to completely rewrite the fate of Qingshui County, is an opportunity that this young man in front of them has secured for them.

Shi Hao stood at the front, his eyes filled with emotion, his tone sincere and earnest.

"Chen Jun, thank you so much this time. You have won a way out of our fate for the millions of poor people in Qingshui County."

"Once this trillion-yuan investment is implemented, the people of our Wacun village and the entire Qingshui County will no longer have to live a life of hardship while guarding barren mountains, and will finally be able to hold their heads high and live a good life."

An older village official nearby quickly stepped forward, smiling and agreeing, his tone full of expectation.

"Yes, Comrade Chen! Putting everything else aside, just the jobs provided by the investment and the monthly salary of five or six thousand yuan have saved so many of our impoverished families! People like Uncle Ma, who were bedridden, finally have the opportunity to receive treatment and recover, and we young people no longer have to leave our hometowns to work elsewhere!"

Another young village official was visibly excited, repeatedly expressing his feelings.

"I used to think that Qingshui County was destined to remain like this forever, trapped in the mountains, suffering poverty and hardship generation after generation. Today, I finally see hope. The entire population of Qingshui County will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives!"

Everyone chimed in with heartfelt praise and gratitude, their faces beaming with the joy of surviving a disaster and boundless anticipation for a bright future.

Chen Jun, standing in the center of the crowd, had an extremely unpleasant expression, his brows were tightly furrowed, and there was no trace of joy in his eyes.

All the compliments and gratitude from those around him went in one ear and out the other.

At this moment, the only thing echoing in his mind was those few words Qin Zheng had just said on the phone.

"The Shi family wants to chop him up."

These six words, like a deadly curse, clung tightly to his heart, making him feel cold all over and his back drenched in cold sweat.

He knew perfectly well that Qin Zheng wasn't joking or trying to scare him.

First of all, it's not worth it.

He was still Qin Nian'an's boyfriend after all; there was no need to scare him with such life-or-death words.

Secondly, the old man also said that the credit for eliminating the Shi family and the subsequent investments would be given to him.

This is enough to show that the Qin family genuinely approves of him as their grandson-in-law and is willing to do their utmost to cultivate him.

So, is this time, being trapped in the desperate situation of Qingshui County and facing the deadly threat of the Shi family a test for Qin Zheng?

This will test his courage, boldness, and resilience, and see if he is truly qualified to hold the position of Qin's grandson-in-law and to take on this tremendous political achievement and future.

Countless speculations kept surfacing in my mind.

In just a few seconds, Chen Jun forcefully suppressed all his chaotic thoughts, and his eyes suddenly became firm.

Whether this is a test or not, right now, there is only one most urgent matter.

live.

Try every possible way to hide yourself, weather this crisis, and wait until the Shi family completely collapses and the dust settles.

He quickly looked up, scanned his surroundings, and frantically searched for possible hiding places.

A farmer's house in the village? No.

Every household in Qingshui County has some connection with the Shi family, whether by blood or by kinship, or by being controlled and manipulated by the Shi family. No one dares to risk offending the Shi family and losing their life by secretly hiding this outsider.

Once discovered, it would mean the destruction of his entire family, and no one would risk their life for him.

The village committee office? Even worse.

The Shi family has eyes and ears everywhere at the grassroots level. Every move of the village committee is under their surveillance. This is the easiest place to be exposed, equivalent to a live target.

As for reporting to the police or seeking asylum from local officials?

That's even more impossible.

The entire Qingshui County, from top to bottom, from the system to the people, has long been thoroughly infiltrated and firmly controlled by the Shi family. Reporting to the police here will not only not bring any protection, but will be tantamount to walking into a trap and handing yourself over to the Shi family's knife.

With nowhere to turn for help and nowhere to hide, they were surrounded by a dead end.

Chen Jun took a deep breath of the hot mountain air, looked up at the surrounding rolling, majestic, and boundless mountains, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

The only way to survive right now is to go into the mountains.

Even if the risk is extremely high, it's better than sitting and waiting to die.

He immediately made up his mind to first go to the town's convenience store to buy enough biscuits, mineral water, and simple dry food before going into the mountains to hide.

...

At the same time, the Zhenshi Group's online live-streamed press conference came to a complete end.

The news that a trillion-yuan investment had landed in Qingshui County ignited the atmosphere throughout the county, instantly raising the expectations of the people to an unprecedented peak.

The younger generation in Qingshui County, in particular, are filled with envy and jealousy from countless netizens across the internet. Their sense of superiority is overwhelming. They stand tall and proud, full of vigor, as if they have already escaped poverty, become rich overnight, and entered a good life ahead of time.

At the village entrance, a group of young people gathered in the threshing ground, chatting enthusiastically, their eyes filled with boundless dreams for the future.

"I've checked! Once the project is completed, I'll be working on the construction site, and the guaranteed monthly salary is five or six thousand! After two or three years, I can save up over ten thousand, enough for a bride price and a down payment on a wedding house. I won't have to worry about finding a wife then!"

"Once the county's economy is revitalized, people and goods will flow in, and my small grocery store will definitely take off. My business will double!"

"Once I save up some money, I'll buy a car! Then I won't have to ride that beat-up electric scooter in the wind and sun anymore, and I can finally go out looking presentable!"

"After so many years of hardship, Qingshui County has finally turned things around! From now on, we have industries and income, and we will no longer be laughed at by outsiders for being a poor and desolate place!"

Everyone was immersed in the ecstasy of sudden success and defying fate, their faces filled with pure joy as they imagined a future of worry-free, stable, and prosperous life.

At that moment, they were filled with fervor and hope. No one could have predicted that this hard-won joy and hope would last only half a day before being completely crushed and turned into nothing by the shocking news that came out in the middle of the night.

That night, at midnight.

The trending topics list across the internet has undergone a new round of reshuffling without warning, with the popularity skyrocketing.

The Zhenshi Group press conference summary, which had previously dominated the top spot and generated immense buzz, quickly slipped from the top five to sixth place on the trending topics list.

Instead, a brand new announcement topped the trending searches across the entire internet.
