"You mean you've destroyed the mutated beast hatchery?"
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't dare to give you such a guarantee. So, are you happy?"
Xiao Shan jumped up excitedly and hugged Lu Yuan tightly.
"Of course I'm happy! Our students can start classes again, and our factory can resume normal operations. I must tell Lao Zhou this good news; he's been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Yes, let's invite Lao Zhou and the others over for a meal later to discuss our future plans. Sean isn't putting any pressure on us for now, so we can leave him alone. But we might need to make some preparations in other areas."
Xiao Shan readily agreed. He then returned to his room, picked up the phone, and dialed Zhou Tong's wife's number, indicating that Lu Yuan had returned and asking him to invite Zhou Tong over for dinner.
Then Xiaoshan went back to the kitchen and began preparing dinner for the day.
This time, Lu Yuan invited all the city lords to dinner. They planned to have a good meal that evening and discuss some development strategies for the future of the camp, since their camp was no longer what it used to be.
The area is larger than before, and there are many more people than before. Most importantly, they have established city lords here.
Therefore, the main purpose of this dinner was to invite the city lords to come together and discuss future development strategies.
The dinner was meticulously prepared, with ingredients and various cooking utensils taken the entire afternoon to gather.
Xiao Shan and a few others worked in the kitchen for a whole afternoon, preparing all the ingredients for various barbecues, and even serving up freshly brewed beer.
Today the sun is shining and the temperature is quite high, making it a great time to enjoy beer and barbecue.
Looking at the whole table full of fresh ingredients, Lu Yuan even felt a little hungry.
"Is everything ready? Why aren't you here yet?"
Seeing Lu Yuan's anxious look, Xiao Shan couldn't help but gently pat his wrist.
"Don't rush, it's only four o'clock in the afternoon. People usually don't get off work until six or seven in the evening. How can you come so early? We still have a lot of ingredients to prepare."
Lu Yuan touched his stomach, feeling that he was already at his limit.
After enduring two grueling hours, the warships slowly docked outside the camp in the distance.
Then a car carrying Zhou Tong and his family arrived at Lu Yuan's residence.
The cars following behind, as well as those of Hei Zi, Wang Mingming, Shen Hu, and others, all arrived at the same time.
As soon as the car pulled up at Lu Yuan's mansion, everyone was drawn in by the aroma of barbecue wafting from inside the house.
"Goodness, it seems Lu Yuan really went all out this time, getting a lot of good food." Zhou Tong got out of the car and handed out cigarettes to the group.
Shen Hu sniffed and pointed towards the kitchen in the distance.
"It's no doubt that Xiao Shan did this. That lazy Lu Yuan basically doesn't have the skills for this."
Everyone burst into laughter, while Hei Zi, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, spoke softly.
"I didn't expect so many of us to come today. It seems like we have something to discuss."
Wang Mingming maintained her shy smile: "I'm actually fine. Brother Lu usually assigns me tasks every time he comes, so I'm used to it. But I didn't expect to be able to have a meal today."
As they chatted, they arrived at the backyard and found that a barbecue grill had been set up and a dining table had been prepared. They took a picture of the various fresh ingredients placed on the outside, and Lu Yuan was enjoying a skewer of grilled food.
Seeing Lu Yuan's exaggerated expression, Shen Hu showed a look of envy.
"Good grief, you're already eating all by yourself without even waiting for us!"
While eating, Lu Yuan waved vaguely to the crowd.
"Why are you all whining when we tell you to come eat? Why didn't you come earlier? My wife and I have been waiting for ages. Don't leave now, each of you will have to drink three cups as punishment before you eat."
Zhou Tong laughed and pulled out a large package of fine liquor from behind him, placing it in front of him.
"I knew there would be good food today, so I specially prepared some freshly brewed baijiu from our area. Everyone should try it out. If you can't finish two bottles, you're not allowed to eat."
"Goodness, I knew Old Zhou had something important to do today, and sure enough, I'll take this liquor home and drink it, don't let it go to waste."
"Brother Zhou is planning to have us all stay here today. I wonder if Brother Lu has made any preparations?"
Lu Yuan casually rubbed the oil stains off his hands.
"Don't worry, since we invited you here for dinner so late at night, do you think we'd let you rush back to sleep? Don't worry, you'll stay here tonight, and I'll have someone send you back first thing tomorrow morning."
After everyone laughed and joked for a while, Xiaoshan placed a full bowl of soup on the table and then greeted everyone.
Several people behind him stood up and hurriedly greeted him.
"Little Shan, don't bother. We're just a bunch of roughnecks chatting. You can handle it yourself. Come down and have dinner with us."
"Yes, sister-in-law, don't bother with all this cooking, just cook it for us."
"Sister-in-law Xiaoshan, let me help you. You should sit down at the table and get some rest."
Seeing everyone's polite greetings, Xiao Shan's face was full of smiles.
"Alright, everyone, it's not easy for you to come all this way. It's not easy for me to cook a meal either. You all eat and drink well today, I'll take care of it, make sure there's enough for you."
