…
The next day.
When Achen woke up, it was just dawn.
He couldn't remember how much he drank last night, nor how he ended up at this hotel.
At that moment, Amo was leaning on his arm.
His hands were too numb, and he wanted to move them, but he was worried about waking Ah Mo.
He used his other hand to lift the blanket, and found that the clothes he was wearing underneath had been changed.
Needless to say, it was definitely Amo who switched them.
That silly Amo---
Turning his head, Achen gazed at the sleeping Amo.
That almond-shaped face is truly beautiful.
Her eyelashes were long, and her nose was beautiful.
And those two thin red lips, even in deep sleep, are still incredibly beautiful.
Her perfectly shaped lips made Ah Chen unable to resist giving her a kiss.
It was during that kiss that, in a daze, Amo said:
"I'm here, Ah Chen. I'm right beside you. Stop fooling around and go to sleep. It'll be dawn soon!"
The soft, sweet voice made Ah Chen's whole body go weak.
Ah Chen couldn't help but hug Ah Mo tighter, but then---
This time, Amo is really awake.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Ah Chen smiling at her, gently touching her eyelashes.
"woke up?"
Amo rubbed her eyes, hummed in agreement, and said, "I'll put some hangover soup by your bedside. Drink some if your head hurts; you were so drunk last night."
There were indeed two bottles of Miao-style hangover remedy placed on the bedside table.
Ah Chen asked who delivered it, and Ah Mo said, "A girl from nearby made it in the middle of the night and brought it over! Drink it and get some more sleep. We have an appointment with the mayor at ten o'clock."
"Amo..."
"Um."
Amo responded, and seeing that Achen remained silent for a long time, she smiled warmly, sat up, took the hangover soup from the table, and brought it to Achen's lips.
…
The county government compound.
Lei Zhan, who had escorted Achen and Amo all the way from the hotel, whispered to Achen after they got out of the car:
"Brother, let's catch up properly when I'm off work!"
Reminiscing?
Forget about reminiscing!
Do I know you well?
Return the brothers!
Ah Chen drank too much last night; he's drunk!
However, before getting drunk, Lei Zhan and the others had acknowledged Mu Achen as their brother.
It seemed that Mu Achen's sincerity and carefree attitude in drinking those few bowls of wine moved them, and they became less reserved than before.
As Lei Zhan waved goodbye to A Chen before getting into the car and leaving, A Mo smiled and said, "They are all steel warriors of our Great Xia. A Chen, the fact that you have earned their respect is a valuable asset for us."
"I understand, Amo. I won't make enemies with them unless absolutely necessary."
Amo nodded, and just as she was about to follow Achen into the county government building, Achen's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Amo, you go up and talk to the mayor and county head first. I'll take this call."
"good!"
One hour later---
Ah Chen was still on the phone, so when Yang Ayao, Tang Yue'e, and a middle-aged Miao man came to his side, he didn't have time to greet them. Instead, he gestured for them to go find Ah Mo first.
The call was from Lin Bei, and the matter they discussed was not only important but also crucial.
Lin Bei said on the phone that the financial market in Hong Kong was experiencing considerable turmoil, and their investments were shrinking significantly.
After listening to this, Ah Chen made some arrangements before saying:
"Lin Bei, listen to me. The financial turmoil in Hong Kong is only temporary. Hold the line and don't let things in Hong Kong affect Han Feng's harvesting plan with the Japanese pirates."
"Also, tell Han Feng not to get too involved in the rampant plundering of international capital! Everything will clear up eventually."
"Under the premise of keeping the original plan unchanged, we will respond to all changes by remaining unchanged."
Lin Bei on the other end of the phone indicated that he understood, and then said, "But as our Mochen Capital grows and expands, many companies in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are now seeking investment from us. What do you think—"
"Apart from the investments I've assigned you, which are mandatory, you can handle the rest yourself! If you think it's feasible, then do it, no need to be indecisive."
Ah Chen glanced at the six-story county government building and said, "My wife has agreed to take on the position of acting president of Mochen Capital. You should enter her information into the system as soon as possible. But there's no rush. We won't be going to Yanjing until the end of next month."
Ah Chen then explained a few more things to Lin Bei before ending the call.
He then quickly entered the county government building, but couldn't find Amo and the others' exact location, so he called to ask.
Soon, Ah Chen was led to the reception room by the county magistrate's secretary.
At this moment, Shengtang Company is signing a contract with the county government, and the talks must be going quite well.
"Ah Chen, you've finally shown up."
The usually dignified mayor changed his expression to a kind one as soon as Ah Chen appeared, and went up to greet Ah Chen.
Ah Chen also quickly stepped forward, grasped the mayor's hands with both of them, and shook them.
"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry. I received a call from those wealthy businessmen in the business district at the last minute, and I didn't dare to offend them. I've kept you, Mayor and County Head, waiting for so long."
The mayor didn't think Ah Chen was lying, because he had met those wealthy men.
They're all big names in the business world.
"Please sit down."
After taking his seat, the mayor looked Ah Chen up and down and sighed inwardly: What a handsome and refined young man from the Miao ethnic group!
“Ah Chen, I’ll call you that too, just like the provincial governor.”
The mayor's words were not only a statement of his attitude, but also a way of telling Achen that he knew about Achen's relationship with the provincial governor.
So after exchanging a few polite words with Ah Chen, I said, "The contract between Shengtang Company and the county government has been signed. The county government will fully support the Miao family's middle school, and the city government is also a strong backer of the Miao family. You, the future Miao King, go ahead and do it."
"Thank you for the support from the city and county governments!"
Ah Chen then gave his stance, and the county head standing next to the mayor said, "Ah Chen, our county government will strongly support the development of the Miao people. We just had a discussion with Miss Tang and Mr. Jiang Ya, the general manager of Sheng Tang."
"The county government will provide everything it can, but you may need to solve the funding issue yourselves first, as the county government doesn't have that much money available right now."
Ah Chen nodded, "Our Shengtang Company will fully cover all expenses. The county government's coordination with our school and other parties is the greatest support we can offer."
"In addition, if teachers from other schools in the city are willing to come to our Miao Family Middle School, we hope that the city and county leaders can help us with the procedures."
The mayor immediately approved, "No problem! Miss Tang just mentioned this as well."
Regarding the Miao Family Middle School, Achen also expressed his thoughts briefly.
Although the city and county leaders had seen the planning documents brought by Tang Mo, it was still not as good as hearing it from the Miao family, the future Miao king, in person.
Although they did not know why the Miao people had such great ambitions, the government's ability to stabilize the Miao people was the greatest explanation to the provincial government.
After the school matters were settled, lunch was held at the county government guesthouse.
At the dinner table, the culture of drinking is naturally on display.
After a few rounds of drinks, the county head implied that because of the reputation of Ah Chen's Miao family's fruit orchard in Daxia, the county government wanted to purchase a batch of top-quality sacred fruits for entertaining guests, and asked Ah Chen if he could lower the price!
