Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 695 - 694: Good Place
"No need, no need, Mr. Gu and Ms. Yu Xin's great names are well known to us," Lin Kun and Yue Ting said excitedly.
Although following Ge Dongxu they had also become quite successful, with fortunes in the hundreds of millions, compared to a business magnate like Gu Yezeng, they were still far behind and could only be considered juniors, not qualified to mingle with great figures like him.
"Haha, you flatter us. What great names are known to all? Since you're friends with Mr. Ge, from now on, we are friends too," Gu Yezeng said with a laugh, his demeanor very easygoing, displaying no airs at all.
"Really? That's truly an honor for us," Lin Kun and Yue Ting said, visibly overwhelmed, much to Ge Dongxu's bemusement.
But what amused Ge Dongxu even more was that soon after, Yue Ting actually pulled out a notebook and asked Yu Xin for an autograph, and after getting it, she was as delighted as a young girl.
"Yue Ting, if you had told me earlier you were also a fan of Yu Xin, I would have taken you to meet her in Hong Kong long ago," Liu Jiayao said with a laugh upon seeing this.
Back when Li Bisheng attempted a hostile takeover of Qinglan Cosmetics at the shareholders' meeting, Lin Kun and Yue Ting had come specifically to help, so Liu Jiayao and Yue Ting had known each other for quite some time, occasionally meeting up for coffee or tea.
"Giggles, now that you know, you have to let me know next time you fly to Hong Kong," Yue Ting said cheerfully.
As the saying goes, three women make a play. This holds true even for women of power.
Soon, Liu Jiayao, Yu Xin, and Yue Ting hit it off, discussing fashion, cosmetics, and gossip—all topics of feminine interest. Ge Dongxu, Gu Yezeng, and Lin Kun naturally took the hint and grouped themselves separately to chat.
"Governor Sang isn't making things difficult for you, is he?" Ge Dongxu asked Gu Yezeng.
"How could he? Us older overseas Chinese all share a wish, which is to return to our roots. Even if you hadn't brought up this matter, I would have still increased my investments in the mainland over the years. The question is merely where. Jiangnan Province is your homeland, a coastal and developed province with a high degree of openness and well-established infrastructure—so it's definitely my first choice," Gu Yezeng said.
"Regardless, I still have to thank you," Ge Dongxu nodded.
"Mr. Ge, you're too kind!" Gu Yezeng hastily responded with humility.
Ge Dongxu smiled and, not wanting to continue the formalities with Gu Yezeng, said, "It's already time for lunch. If you aren't tired, we could eat first."
"Coming from Hong Kong is just over two hours by our own plane, so it's not tiring. Just look at how energetic this little guy is," Gu Yezeng said, laughing and gesturing to Gu Yiran, who was playing alone in the living room.
"In that case, Lin Kun, please arrange lunch. Call General Manager Wu and Wang Hui too. Ask them to come for a meal, and it'll give them a chance to meet Yu Xin in advance and discuss tomorrow's ad shoot," Ge Dongxu nodded, then said to Lin Kun.
Lin Kun nodded and then got up to arrange the lunch.
Not long after Lin Kun left, Ge Dongxu received a call from Sang Yunlong.
Sang Yunlong had called mainly to thank Ge Dongxu for his help and also to inquire about the time of his meeting with Gu Yezeng.
Ge Dongxu figured that after tomorrow's shoot, there probably wouldn't be much else for Gu Yezeng to handle, but he still deliberately called Gu Yezeng over to speak with Sang Yunlong, letting them discuss things themselves.
After Gu Yezeng finished speaking with Governor Sang, it wasn't long before Wu Longcai and Wang Hui arrived.
Wu Longcai, being the director of the entertainment channel in Jiangnan Province, had seen quite a bit of the world. Yet he couldn't help but feel excited when meeting Gu Yezeng and Yu Xin. As for Wang Hui, that was even more to be expected.
When Wang Hui entered the Presidential Suite, seeing the Chinese tycoon Gu Yezeng and the Queen of Heaven Yu Xin, whom he had only seen on screens and in newspapers, caused his legs to go weak. It felt like stepping on cotton, uneven with every step.
For Wang Hui, who was still in his senior year of university and hadn't even graduated, these figures were simply unattainable, the kind of important people he wouldn't dare to dream about.
After the introduction and handshakes, Wang Hui gradually began to recover.
Lunch was held in the restaurant of the Presidential Suite.
Seeing Gu Yezeng always toast Ge Dongxu first at the dining table and always finishing his drink in one gulp, Wang Hui realized that though Gu Yezeng was a top-level figure, he still couldn't compare to Brother Dongxu. In his heart, Wang Hui's reverence and admiration for Ge Dongxu grew even more.
After lunch, everybody rested briefly before heading to the gardens by the Qian River to do some preliminary scouting and preparation for the shoot.
The area around the eastern suburbs of Linzhou City near the Qian River hadn't changed much since Ge Dongxu's last visit to bury the Jade Talisman and set up the Formation. It was still a stretch of small hills and wasteland with few households in sight. The road along the banks of the Qian River was also uneven, with hardly any cars visible.
Driving along the riverside, aside from the rolling, majestic waters of the Qian River that somewhat shocked Gu Yezeng and the others, the area felt like a desolate countryside, which disappointed them internally, making them feel it wasn't a suitable location for shooting an advertisement.
However, as the car left the city area and entered more of a suburban area, suddenly, the scenery in front lit up dramatically.
Not far away, patches of gardens on the hills, although it was already winter, still had many flowers in bloom. Moreover, the hillside land was almost without bare soil, mostly covered with plants or greenery and trees.
The patches were neatly trimmed and well-placed.
Through the car window, looking at the radiant flowers and shaded trees under the sunlight, it felt as if it were the splendid season of spring.
On the hill, the villa that Ge Dongxu had seen under construction during his last visit was now completed, its wood old-fashioned, blending seamlessly with the landscape, resembling a heavenly retreat.
A small driveway led to the villa, and the car drove along this path until it stopped in front of the villa.
After disembarking, the winds that should have been bitterly cold this season, felt surprisingly gentle in the sunshine, almost like a spring breeze.
Standing on the hill, looking downward at the whole hillside covered with flowers and trees merging into the rushing river waters created yet another beautiful and magnificent view. freēnovelkiss.com
"What a wonderful place! If this were in Hong Kong, it would cost a fortune, and only the wealthy could afford such a location," Gu Yezeng exclaimed as he looked around.
"I haven't been here in a couple of years. I used to think this place was desolate with few homes around. Although it was incorporated into the Bindong District, it still felt rural, and I thought that even in another decade, it wouldn't change much. But Brother Dongxu, you've transformed it into a garden haven, making this place feel like a paradise on earth right away! If it weren't for the commuting and work, I'd consider buying a piece of land here and building a house," Wu Longcai said breathlessly, admiring the beautiful and spectacular scenery while inhaling the fresh air.
