If they focus solely on traveling, a month should be enough from Yunmeng City to Yanchuan City. If they want to speed things up, Zhao Cheng's small group can manage in just over ten days.

Zhao Cheng calculated that Yuan Yun's due date should normally be in early October, and even if it were a few days earlier, it would still be at the end of September.

With enough time, Zhao Cheng decided not to go directly back to Yanchuan City, but instead to go through Jiangcheng, Hannan City, and Qingdong City to finalize his work before returning to Yanchuan City. That way, he could get home before his child was born.

Wu Sisi managed her work in Jiangcheng quite well. Although the Tu, Lu, and Miao families were all very obedient, that was only when dealing with Zhao Cheng. After taking over, Wu Sisi still had to put in some effort and use some methods to subdue them.

This also proves that Zhao Cheng's judgment was correct; Wu Sisi is indeed capable.

The assessment of Tu Ziming, Lu Chen, and Miao Shaohua was also due. Zhao Cheng reviewed their work performance and discussed the matter with Wu Sisi and Ma Cong for an entire night. In the end, the sales rights for "Yingyingying" were given to Lu Chen.

Zhao Cheng explained the reasons for this arrangement clearly, citing several examples of Lu Chen's outstanding emergency response and public relations methods. Tu Ziming and Miao Shaohua were convinced and raised no objections.

That night, Zhao Cheng invited Wu Sisi and Ma Cong to drink at a roadside stall by the Jiangcheng River.

Zhao Yan, Zhao Wu, and Heng Wenhao were positioned in three different locations, blending into the crowd to provide protection, while Gan Lang remained hidden in the water.

With four top-tier experts protecting him within Jiangcheng territory, Zhao Cheng's safety is basically guaranteed.

As for Xu An, he went to visit a brothel accompanied by Yu Jin.

In his own words, his last trip to Jiangcheng was filled with bloodshed and violence, and he didn't get to properly enjoy life.

It needs to be added.

Zhao Cheng swirled his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "This wine is clearly celestial wine, so why does it have a delicate fragrance when I drink it?"

Wu Sisi deliberately kept everyone in suspense, asking, "Boss, can't you taste what it is?"

Zhao Cheng understood what Wu Sisi meant; something had been added to the drink. He took another sip and asked suspiciously, "Mint?"

Wu Sisi nodded and said, "Yes, the owner of this wine stall is a wine connoisseur. Before he started selling Immortal Wine, he liked to add all sorts of things to the wine himself. So even though his wine stall is small, he has divided the wine into several flavors, and he attracts people with these kinds of tricks."

Zhao Cheng downed the wine in one gulp, tapped his fingertips on the table, and Ma Cong quickly refilled his glass.

"You haven't been in Jiangcheng for long, yet you've already figured out the details of a liquor stall?"

Wu Sisi smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. Miao Shaohua used to come here often to drink. Now, she's trying every trick in the book to please me and become my best friend."

Zhao Cheng could sense Wu Sisi's pride when she said this.

She was once just a geisha carefully trained by a madam to start serving customers, but by a twist of fate, she became a female boss in a short period of time, and even the once high and mighty wife of the prefect had to curry favor with her...

This feeling made Wu Sisi very satisfied.

Zhao Cheng said, "Back then, Miao Shaohua was still the wife of the prefect. For a dignified wife of the prefect to come to this small wine stall to drink, it seems that the owner really has some skills."

Wu Sisi said, "Miao Shaohua said that wealthy people often come here for a drink."

Zhao Cheng was able to vividly conjure up a scene in his mind.

Just like in my past life, there were always some luxury cars parked next to some roadside stalls.

Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "When you have time, you should get to know this boss better. Doesn't he like bartending? You could invest in him and let him open a bar in Jiangcheng."

"Bar?" Wu Sisi asked, unfamiliar with the word.

"It's just a name. As for the specific form, I'll explain it to you in detail on the way."

"On the way?" Wu Sisi asked sharply.

Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "You have to come with me to Qingdong City."

Wu Sisi and Ma Cong exchanged a glance and said, "How long will it take? It's the busiest time of year in Jiangcheng right now."

"Leave Jiangcheng's affairs to Ma Cong for now, let him get some experience." Zhao Cheng looked at the hustle and bustle on the other side of the river. Since Deng Fugui took over, he changed all the rules that Qi Bainian had set before. Jiangcheng no longer has a curfew. After all, it is the most economically developed city in the eastern part of Jingguo. Every night is filled with singing and dancing, a scene of peace and prosperity.

"You and I are going to Qingdong City; there are more important matters to discuss."

Seeing that Zhao Cheng had made his decision, Wu Sisi didn't ask any more questions and replied, "When do we set off?"

"The sooner the better."

"Then let's do it tomorrow at noon. I'll coordinate things with Ma Cong in the morning."

"Can."

Zhao Cheng looked at Ma Cong and said, "Practice your skills properly these days, and continue to help Sisi when he comes back."

Ma Cong nodded emphatically.

Zhao Cheng said, "I know what you're thinking. Don't rush. First, accumulate experience in Jiangyang County. Once the industrial park in Yunjing County is completed, you can take over Huang Hua's place."

“Yes!” Ma Cong said, “Actually, the boss doesn’t need to explain. I will do whatever the boss says.”

Zhao Cheng raised his glass and said with a smile, "Now that business is over, let's relax and chat about romance!"

After the three parted ways, Ma Cong wisely walked ahead, while Wu Sisi and Zhao Cheng followed behind.

The woman clung to Zhao Cheng like a boneless body, placing her five fingers on his chest, and said, "I bought a house in Jiangcheng. You haven't been there yet, have you?"

Zhao Cheng wasn't drunk, just a little tipsy, and said, "It's great to buy a new house! We should use the money we earn to improve our quality of life!"

Wu Sisi said softly, "I'll take you to see it."

"Okay..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Cheng suddenly remembered something, instantly sobering up halfway. He gently pulled Wu Sisi's hand down and said, "No, no, you can't go!"
