The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

In the conference room of Longyu Investment Department, the city and county leaders brought by Tiezhu sat upright.

The head of the investment department was looking at the documents they submitted, flipping through each page carefully and scrutinizing every number.

After he finished reading, his gaze swept over the city and county leaders, and his voice remained calm:

"Distinguished leaders, I have just reviewed your proposed ecotourism plan."

"To be honest, if it were up to Longyu's standards, we wouldn't invest—because the investment would be too large and the return too low."

His words immediately made the hearts of the city and county leaders tighten.

Some people started wiping their sweat, some clenched their fists, and some closed their eyes.

"However—" the person in charge drawled out:

"Because our General Manager Yan personally instructed that the Shijiagou Village ecotourism project must be launched regardless of whether it makes money or not, or even if the investment fails."

"Therefore, my Longyu Investment Department will invest 500 million yuan."

"Your government doesn't need to contribute a single penny; it will only account for 50%. The rest will all be allocated to Shijia Gou Village."

"What?!"

A city leader immediately stood up excitedly, his chair sliding back half a foot, and he stammered as he spoke:

"This...this...is this real?"

"I... let me double-check, Long Yu invested 500 million?"

"And...and the government even gets a 50% stake?"

"The other 50% will be given entirely to Shijiagou Village?"

The person in charge nodded with a smile, a smile full of certainty.

"Why?" The city leaders felt like they were in a dream and asked the question behind this incredible investment.

The door opened. Yan Ruge strode in, her high heels clicking loudly, the sound of her footsteps echoing in everyone's hearts.

Her gaze was piercing, and her aura was overwhelming.

The head of the investment department immediately stood up, and other city and county leaders also quickly stood up to greet him when they heard that it was General Manager Yan.

"President Yan! Hello, President Yan!" The voices rose and fell, filled with awe.

Yan Ruge pressed down with both hands.

Her gaze swept over the crowd, her tone heavy with sorrow:

"Do you know why I'm doing this?"

"Because I am Tiezhu's sister-in-law, a sister-in-law who is closer than blood relatives."

"Because I know he always had a deep-seated regret: he didn't get to see his father one last time!"

"Similarly, he did not fulfill any of his responsibilities as a son. This is his most painful regret."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought you to Longyu headquarters."

"As his sister-in-law, I have to help him resolve this issue, which can be considered as fulfilling my belated filial duty on his behalf."

Her voice became serious:

"But I also have a few requirements."

"First, the name of this tourist area can only be 'Qinglie'."

"Secondly, the roads leading to the tourist area and the schools built for Shijiagou can only be named 'Qinglie'."

Third, tourism area planning.

"My Uncle Qinglie's grave must not be disturbed in the slightest, and it must be planned and maintained according to the original ecological standards of green mountains and clear waters."

"At the same time, the planning of the tourist area must be centered on the mountain where my Uncle Qinglie is buried."

"Later, this mountain was named 'Qinglie Mountain' and a stone tablet was erected to record my Uncle Qinglie's life experiences and his injustices."

"Fourth, the remaining 50% of the shares in the tourist area."

"The funds, which belong to Tiezhu's mother, namely my Aunt Li and Li Yingxiu, will be redistributed to Shijiagou Village as a charitable fund."

"If you can meet and maintain the above standards, I will initiate this investment immediately."

Her tone suddenly became more forceful:

"But you need to understand that the government's half of the shares are held on behalf of someone else."

"If you can maintain this, then the dividends from the nominee shareholding will be indefinite."

"If we discover any inaction, favoritism, bribery, or extortion by the local government!"

"I will immediately reclaim these shares held on my behalf. Can you do that?"

"Yes!" The city leader was the first to respond, his voice loud and clear, and the other leaders also stood up to answer.

The city leader's tone was very serious:

"President Yan, please rest assured! This investment is a project that benefits the people and alleviates poverty, and it is also a key development project for our city."

"Thank you, Long Yu and General Manager Yan, for your help and support to our city and county!"

"No." Yan Ruge shook her head, her gaze becoming distant:

"You should thank my Uncle Qinglie, who lives on forever!"

"Because of his simplicity, because of his injustice, because he had a proud son."

At this point, Ru Ge's voice carried a sigh:

"It is also because of the simplicity of the villagers in Shijiagou that Tiezhu wants to protect that peace and be grateful for that land."

She turned around, her gaze passing through the conference room window and looking into the distance.

That place is the direction of Shijia Gou Village, the direction where Tie Zhu's father rests, and a son's belated filial piety and longing for his father.

Outside the door, Tiezhu stood there, leaning against the wall, listening to every word Ruge said inside.

His eyes reddened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

He didn't go in; he just stood there, like a mountain, like a stone, like a son's eternal protection of his father.

Tong Ke stood beside him without saying a word, but gently held his hand.

That large, rough, and powerful hand was trembling slightly at that moment.

Her hands were small, soft, and warm.

Their hands were clasped tightly together, like two souls relying on each other.

At the end of the corridor, Ye Feng leaned against the window, looking at the sky outside.

Du Shimeng stood beside him, wanting to say something, but not daring to.

She glanced at Ye Feng secretly, then quickly looked away.

This man is completely different from when he was a child.

When he was little, he would laugh, make a fuss, and chase after her.

Now, he is like a drawn sword, cold, sharp, and unapproachable.

But at that moment, the corners of his mouth seemed to turn up slightly. Du Shimeng rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.

Xiaoya walked out of the meeting room, stretched, and swung her ponytail behind her head.

She glanced at Ye Feng, then at Tie Zhu, and then at Du Shimeng and Tong Ke.

She smiled, a very happy smile, like a child seeing their family happy.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, shining on everyone.

Inside the headquarters building of Longyu, at this moment, there is business competition, rigorous scientific research, decisive investment, and also a flow of affection.

And all of this is because of one person.

The man who was sunbathing and reading a book in his villa halfway up a mountain in Tiankun City.

He was recuperating at the hospital, and he was also watching over things.

He Jing came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of soup, looking at her son:

"Xiaolong, have some soup." Zeng Linglong put down his book, took the soup bowl, took a sip, and showed a satisfied smile.
