Today, Guogan Old Street was bustling with activity as the Heaven on Earth Nightclub grandly opened! Li Baolong, dressed in a sharp suit, appeared at the scene with an air of confidence. He not only came to offer his congratulations in person but also carried the important mission of negotiating cooperative development with various forces.
At this moment, Li Baolong's forces were strong and well-equipped. Wei Chao commanded a formidable force—an entire reinforced regiment, numbering over two thousand men. While not as large as the Bai family's former strength, these soldiers were elite troops handpicked by experienced soldiers. Equipped with advanced and comprehensive weaponry, their combat power was not to be underestimated. Even against a government division, Li Baolong and his men were confident they could engage in a fierce battle.
At the meeting, Li Baolong passionately presented his grand plan for future development. With unwavering determination, he stated, "We must dedicate ourselves to improving the living standards of the people of Kakkan, ensuring that everyone has enough to eat and a stable source of income." To this end, a major project is planned for this year—the construction of Myanmar's largest jade market. By processing and selling the mined jadeite rough, this will provide stable and respectable employment opportunities for thousands of local residents.
In addition, Li Baolong was determined to completely eradicate the rampant drug trade in the area and severely crack down on those ruthless drug traffickers. He solemnly promised, "Next month, I will purchase a full 100,000 tons of grain and a large quantity of cooking oil. At that time, every household in the Guogan area will be able to receive these supplies free of charge to alleviate their immediate needs." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was deeply moved and responded with enthusiastic applause, expressing their heartfelt welcome and support. After all, since Lao Cai declared independence, no one had ever been so genuinely committed to the well-being of the people and doing practical things for them as Li Baolong.
Li Baolong was well aware that the profits in the current jade market were astonishing. Each year, by expending only a small amount of his spiritual energy and time to meticulously appraise a batch of high-quality jade, he could easily amass billions in profits. This enormous wealth would be more than enough to support the more than one million people in the Guogan region. After properly handling all matters in Guogan, Li Baolong began preparations for his return to China.
During this time, he heard that the economic situation in Hong Kong was turbulent, and that some overseas capital was stirring up trouble and trying to make a fortune there. Therefore, Li Baolong, along with Huang Jian and the woman called "Little Cook," embarked on their return journey. They first passed through the border smoothly, then lavishly chartered a spacious and comfortable car, speeding straight to Kunming. Upon arrival, Li Baolong even more extravagantly booked two incredibly luxurious suites.
Upon entering the country, Huang Jian and the young cook could hardly contain their excitement. Throughout the journey, they chatted incessantly, recounting all sorts of interesting stories and anecdotes, their laughter echoing throughout the room. As night fell, Cai Lun specially hosted a banquet to welcome them, and also invited several prominent figures in the domestic jade and gemstone industry. Everyone knew that Li Baolong possessed extraordinary connections in Myanmar, enabling him to easily acquire those coveted pieces of exquisite jade, so they flocked to him, eager to make his acquaintance with this legendary figure in the industry.
Li Baolong was very generous to Cai Lun, whom he met first, offering to sell him a batch of high-quality jadeite for a share of one billion Chinese yuan annually. Cai Lun was overjoyed and frequently raised his glass in a toast. The profit margin was enormous; with simple processing, Cai Lun could easily earn hundreds of millions. The other jade merchants also acted obsequiously, with Li Baolong saying they could buy from Cai Lun and receive larger shares. Everyone was happy at the meal. Huang Jian, sitting nearby, saw everything clearly. His little cousin had easily secured a deal worth over a billion yuan. Now he had to look up to his cousin Baolong and keep a respectful attitude.
The city's hustle and bustle was gradually swallowed by the night. Li Baolong and the beautiful, charming young cook engaged in a passionate yet tender "battle" in the cozy, luxurious room. They released their passion to the fullest, finding immense relaxation in both body and mind.
However, happy times are always fleeting. Tomorrow, the young cook will embark on her journey home, returning to her long-lost hometown. At this moment, like a docile kitten, she nestled quietly in Li Baolong's broad and warm embrace, whispering softly, "Mr. Long, now that you're leaving, I wonder when we'll be able to meet again?"
Li Baolong gently stroked the young cook's silky smooth hair and replied affectionately, "Darling, don't worry. Come to Longteng Company in the Special Economic Zone to see me in a month. If I'm not at the company then, stay at my house and wait for me. I will definitely come back to see you as soon as possible." After saying that, he gently kissed the young cook's smooth forehead.
Then, Li Baolong smiled and said to the young cook, "Sweetie, I've prepared 100,000 yuan for you. Take it back and treat your parents well. It wasn't easy for them to raise you, and this small token is my way of expressing my gratitude." Hearing this, the young cook felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes. She knew that this boss was not only handsome and charming, but also a man of great loyalty and affection. To be able to follow such a man and take care of him wholeheartedly made her life worthwhile.
Under the young cook's coquettish pleading, their passion was reignited, and they once again plunged into that fiery "battle"...
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the two sleeping peacefully in bed. Li Baolong slowly opened his eyes, looking at the still-sleeping cook beside him, a doting smile spreading across his face. He quietly got out of bed, washed up, and began packing his luggage. A short while later, Huang Jian also arrived at the room door.
At this moment, the young cook also woke up. She quickly got up, dressed, and helped Li Baolong pack his things. Soon, everything was ready. Li Baolong and Huang Jian carried their suitcases out of the room, with the young cook silently following behind.
Downstairs, a luxury car had been waiting for some time. Driver Cai Lun saw the three of them come out and quickly got out to open the car door. After putting the luggage in the trunk, Li Baolong turned and hugged the young cook tightly, whispering a few words of comfort in her ear. Then, he and Huang Jian got into the car and waved goodbye to the young cook.
With a roar from the car engine, the car slowly started and sped off towards the airport. Along the way, Huang Jian watched the scenery rushing past the window, his heart filled with both excitement and anxiety. Finally, he could return to his long-lost home.
Shortly after, the vehicle arrived at the airport. Li Baolong and Huang Jian dragged their suitcases into the waiting hall, completed the check-in procedures, and boarded the flight bound for Sichuan. As the plane took off, Li Baolong looked out the window at the gradually shrinking city skyline, his heart filled with longing for home.
