Once home, the three of them ate dinner chatting and laughing.

After dinner, while having tea in the living room, Yan Bingshan finally started a conversation.

"Xiao Lin, I heard that your plan to develop a university town isn't going too smoothly, is it?"

When this matter was brought up, Lin Yifeng quickly put on a helpless expression.

"Uncle Yan, this matter has nothing to do with Youming and the others."

"The main problem is that I don't have enough funds on hand, and the places I've chosen aren't big enough for me to handle all at once."

"If it really doesn't work out, I'll just have to put this on hold for now."

Yan Bingshan watched Lin Yifeng exchange pleasantries with him and put down his teacup.

"This won't do!!"

"This is a good thing for Makino City."

"This is beneficial to the city's development and planning, and you as an individual should not bear the burden."

Lin Yifeng was secretly pleased to hear Yan Bingshan say this.

There's hope!

Yan Bingshan took the initiative to talk to him, and his words likely indicated that he wanted to help him.

Most importantly, it's about understanding the meaning behind Yan Bingshan's words.

On the surface, they were discussing business, but considering what they had said in the car earlier, Yan Bingshan was preparing to give him some government assistance before he left.

The most obvious benefit is that Lin Yifeng will not have to bear the entire cost of the university town development, which will definitely alleviate his financial pressure.

However, Lin Yifeng is very knowledgeable.

Yan Bingshan is leaving; helping him like this must not be so simple.

Yan Bingshan then changed the subject.

"You don't need to worry about the university town."

“We will definitely give strong support to projects that are beneficial to the development of our Central Plains.”

"And what about Mixue Ice Cream and something else..."

Yan Bingshan paused for a moment.

Ye Wuzheng, who was standing nearby, quickly reminded him.

“Mixue Ice Cream, Wallace, and Pang Donglai.”

Yan Bingshan nodded repeatedly and said to Lin Yifeng with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"These are all great projects in our Zhongzhou."

"These areas of development cannot be neglected."

Lin Yifeng understood instantly and quickly echoed his agreement.

"I'm also planning to make arrangements for this."

"Our markets in Sanyo City and Makino City are basically saturated."

"Next, we plan to expand outwards."

Yan Bingshan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"These are all good things, you just need to do them well."

"As for other matters, I'll make a call to ask what's going on. These people have been in their positions for too long, and their attitude towards the companies that cooperate with our province is problematic."

The meeting ended quickly.

After leaving Yan Bingshan's house, Lin Yifeng sat in the passenger seat of Ye Wuzheng's car, overjoyed.

Ye Wu was completely bewildered by Lin Yifeng's happy expression, having no idea what was going on between the two.

Of course, only Lin Yifeng would understand this.

Yan Bingshan's visit this time was not just to express his stance, but also to show his willingness to get involved in this matter.

More importantly, it's about the meaning behind Yan Bingshan's words.

Yan Bingshan, who is about to be promoted to the provincial level, just mentioned "cooperative enterprises in our province," and his attitude couldn't be clearer.

Yan Bingshan planned to change Lin Yifeng's companies into cooperative enterprises after Lin Yifeng settled down in the provincial government.

Transforming from an ordinary enterprise into a provincial cooperative enterprise is a huge leap, but for Lin Yifeng, his next goal of opening a store in Zhongzhou will definitely receive the most enthusiastic support from the local government.

At least in terms of store location selection, he can outperform a host of companies and secure the best locations.

A good location is equivalent to receiving real money in the bank.

Furthermore, Lin Yifeng was not worried at all that this was just empty promises from Yan Bingshan.

Because Yan Bingshan also demanded a reward from him.

That is, after Yan Bingshan takes up a post in the province, Wallace and other similar stores will be opened in the places where Yan Bingshan will be stationed to boost the local economy and give Yan Bingshan more political achievements.

This also shows how ambitious Yan Bingshan is; he not only wants to climb to the provincial level, but also wants to go even higher.

Lin Yifeng and Yan Bingshan are now in the same boat.

Unlike others, even if Yan Bingshan gets into trouble, it won't affect Lin Yifeng's development. Yan Bingshan just helped Lin Yifeng open some backdoors.

"By the way, Young Master Ye."

"What position is Uncle Yan planning to be promoted to?"

"Would it be convenient for you to tell me?"

Ye Wu's expression stiffened upon hearing Lin Yifeng's question.

After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and spoke to Lin Yifeng.

"It hasn't been revealed yet, but I heard it's going to the provincial discipline inspection commission, at the deputy ministerial level."

"Don't tell anyone else either."

"I reckon it should be announced soon."

These words startled Lin Yifeng.

The position of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is not simple.

There are only two positions in total: one is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and the other is the deputy director of the provincial supervisory commission. Both are the second-in-command positions at the provincial level.

Without a doubt, Yan Bingshan has been promoted this time.

Furthermore, the help it will bring to Lin Yifeng and his group in the future is unpredictable.

With this connection, Lin Yifeng could practically walk around the Makino City government building without worrying about anyone stopping him.

After all, which city government official would be so foolish as to want to cause trouble for the second-in-command of the province?

After leaving Yan Bingshan's home, Lin Yifeng waited quietly for news for the next few days.

On the third day, Zhao Youming called and his first words were a shout.

"Holy crap! Young Master Lin?"

"Where the hell did you pull all those connections?"
