"Uncle Yan, the main problem is that this place isn't exactly a tourist attraction."

"I want to build something like a resort or a film studio."

"Primarily for leisure and entertainment."

Lin Yifeng's words piqued the curiosity of both of them.

After Lin Yifeng explained the development projects that Stone Village was going to undertake to the two of them, Li Baoshan and Yan Bingshan understood what Lin Yifeng meant.

Li Baoshan took a sip of hot tea and let out a long sigh.

"Yifeng, are you planning to develop some tourism projects to stimulate tourist spending?"

"This can boost the local economy, which is a good thing."

"But you still need to make some connections regarding this matter."

Yan Bingshan nodded solemnly beside him.

"It's no use for us to give in."

"If you get stuck down there."

"It won't be approved in less than a year or two."

Seeing their reactions, Lin Yifeng knew this was no simple matter, and he didn't press them for more details.

At that moment, Li Baoshan's eyes lit up.

"Why!"

"I have an idea."

These words caught the attention of Lin Yifeng and Yan Bingshan.

Li Baoshan glanced at Lin Yifeng first, then at Yan Bingshan beside him, and immediately lowered his voice.

What I mean is...

"Yifeng, don't you know people from Shanyang City?"

"Go ask her, maybe she has a solution."

Lin Yifeng was stunned for a moment.

Li Baoshan said he knew people in Shanyang City, but after thinking about it carefully, Lin Yifeng realized that the person who was closest to the Shanyang City government was Liu Shengxing.

However, given the capabilities of Liu Shengxing's newspaper, it would be somewhat difficult to influence such a large-scale plan.

Seeing that Lin Yifeng and Yan Bingshan hadn't reacted yet, Li Baoshan became a little anxious and reminded them again.

"Her!"

"You forgot?"

"Aren't you still helping her raise her daughter?"

Li Baoshan had made it so obvious, how could Lin Yifeng not know who he was talking about?

Lin Yifeng was completely stunned when he heard the answer.

Meng Lulu has been detained for some time now.

Going to Meng Lulu at this point is indeed an option, but asking Meng Lulu for help is a bit too dangerous.

Yan Bingshan was the first to object.

"no!"

"Old Li, aren't you harming Yifeng?"

"Is that the kind of person Yifeng should associate with? The sooner the relationship is severed, the better."

Li Baoshan waved his hand, trying to reassure Yan Bingshan.

"Old Yan, what era are we living in? Shanyang City is not our territory after all."

"Even if Meng Lulu is sent in, she will definitely still have something she can use."

"Why are you worried so much? This is all in the past!"

The two started arguing, each offering their own perspective.

Yan Bingshan strongly opposed the idea, while Li Baoshan thought it was fine. In fact, it would allow Lin Yifeng to help make contact with the factions in Shanyang City, giving them more options in the future.

As for Lin Yifeng, he looked solemn and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Just as Yan Bingshan said, the defection of Meng Lulu's faction has indeed had a significant impact. Even if Lin Yifeng were to make contact, he wouldn't know where to begin.

Although Meng Lulu has been detained, she will definitely be able to continue her life when she comes out. It's possible that her detention was just a formality.

Yan Bingshan's idea was to have Lin Yifeng contact the local government and cultivate a network of connections.

Li Baoshan's idea was to make good use of this connection and get it done directly through Meng Lulu's line in one go.

After all, the issue of tourist attractions isn't a huge problem, but it's not insignificant either. It's best to resolve it as soon as possible.

After some persuasion, Yan Bingshan finally relented.

"You can give it a try."

"However, excessive contact is not recommended."

"Those people over there are no good."

Lin Yifeng nodded.

After things came to a close, Lin Yifeng went back that night to think about the matter carefully.

The next morning, after learning from Ye Wuzheng where Meng Lulu was being held, Lin Yifeng drove straight to the destination.

When we arrived at the destination, there were already acquaintances waiting at the door.

"Hello, hello, Comrade Lin."

"I have already learned about the situation from Director Ye."

"This way, please."

The person who greeted Lin Yifeng was a burly man, who was probably the local prison warden.

This was Lin Yifeng's first time meeting Meng Lulu here.

After passing through the narrow corridor and arriving at the reception room, Meng Lulu appeared in front of Lin Yifeng shortly afterward, dressed in a light blue prison uniform.

After so much time has passed, Meng Lulu no longer looks the same as before.

Now, she has more wrinkles around her eyes, and her once fair complexion has gradually turned yellowish.

The hard work she endured in prison aged her considerably.

But Meng Lulu's inherent arrogance has never diminished in the slightest; on the contrary, she is much more natural than before, without that aggressive feeling.

When Meng Lulu saw Lin Yifeng, her eyes lit up, but she quickly realized that Lin Yifeng couldn't have brought An'an with him.

"Sister Lulu, it's been a long time."

Lin Yifeng smiled and waved to her through the iron bars of the window.

Meng Lulu smiled and shook her head.

"You need something from me, right?"

Having spent many years navigating the officialdom, Meng Lulu's intuition remained remarkably sharp.

Lin Yifeng's visit to her was definitely not just to see her; he must have something to ask her.
