Chapter 516 Borrowing Land for the College Entrance Examination



The boy spoke with arrogance, and his sense of superiority was so offensive that it was almost overflowing.

However, the middle-aged man dared not say anything wrong, and simply nodded in agreement.

"Yes, young master, we are a small place after all, and we can't compare with Hong Kong. But don't worry, we will treat you well here and make sure you are not mistreated. After all, we have already given instructions from above."

Upon hearing this, the young master snorted.

At this moment, one of the girls holding a teddy bear spoke up.

"Let's not talk about that for now. What, is there no one here? We came all this way and there's no welcoming ceremony at all. Is this a genuine welcome or just a sham? Or is it just empty talk?"

As soon as she said that, the middle-aged man in front of her started sweating profusely.

The little girl's sharp, childish voice might not sound aggressive, but knowing who these people were, he genuinely felt a pressure that most people couldn't feel.

He quickly said.

"Yes, yes! Gentlemen and ladies, rest assured, I said I would welcome you well and I will not look down on you."

As he spoke, he waved behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a series of hurried footsteps came from the left and right sides, and a dozen or so people quickly arrived behind them. They were very fast, and it seemed that they had been training and rehearsing for a long time.

These people were all carrying things in their hands, such as cannons, fireworks, gifts, flowers and the like.

"Bang bang bang!" As the cannons fired, the people spoke at the same time.

"Welcome, esteemed young masters and ladies, to Jianghai!"

Seeing this, the girl who had spoken earlier finally showed a hint of satisfaction. She casually slapped away the gift that had been offered and spoke without even looking at it.

"Hmph, it's barely acceptable. But a small place is a small place, so we can't expect too much from this level of standard. We should be more generous."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man secretly wiped away a bead of sweat.

Fortunately, he had prepared thoroughly in advance.

These young masters and ladies from big cities are really hard to please.

To be honest, at his age and status, it's really not easy for him to lose face by welcoming a group of men and women so much younger than him.

But there's nothing we can do about it; these people are all of high status.

That's how the world works; as long as you have money and power, you can do whatever you want.

These young masters and ladies from Hong Kong Island each possess immense power and incredibly strong backgrounds.

If they were to offend these people, a single word from them could potentially set back Jianghai City's economy by twenty years.

This is no joke.

Each of these people holds an extremely prestigious position, so even the most lavish treatment is understandable.

Many people say that some rich people are too arrogant and unreasonable. To be honest, if they were in that position, they might be even more arrogant.

Therefore, pleasing these people may not necessarily bring benefits, but offending them is definitely not a good thing.

There's a saying that goes something like this: good performance is rewarded, and bad performance is punished.

These people, in particular, are in their rebellious youth, the most reckless, the most arrogant and domineering, and also the most pampered.

When talking to these people, standing in front of them, you don't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear that they will say you smell bad and upset them.

The best approach is to consider all aspects thoroughly and satisfy the other party completely, leaving them with nothing to criticize.

"Well then, gentlemen and ladies, shall we head to the Royal Hotel that has been specially prepared for you? I have already arranged vehicles for you, my esteemed guests," the middle-aged man said with a fawning smile.

This first hurdle has been overcome, leaving a decent impression on these people.

"Okay, hehe, let's go then. Let's see what the best place to sleep in these remote and impoverished areas is like. I was quite curious before we came."

Then, with the help of the middle-aged man and an assistant, these distinguished young men and women got into a stretched Lincoln and drove away.

At the same time, on another plane that landed alongside these young masters and ladies, Li Yang also stepped off the plane.

He just flew over from the Golden City.

He returned to Jianghai, to this place filled with love and hate, the hometown where he had lived for more than ten years.

After disembarking, Li Yang walked along the corridor, smelling the familiar air, his face filled with nostalgia.

Although this place isn't particularly good or prosperous, it's worlds apart from his previous Golden City, as if it's a completely different world or dimension.

But this place is indeed very familiar to Li Yang.

There's a saying that goes something like this: what you like isn't necessarily the best; what's practical and what you get used to is what you'll live with for the longest time.

No matter how backward this place is, Li Yang will never look down on it.

Moreover, he firmly believes that life is getting better and better, and with the development of the times, their area will gradually develop as well; it's just a matter of time.

In this day and age, life is the same no matter where you live.

As for why Li Yang flew back here from Golden City, it was naturally because of the upcoming college entrance examination.

Generally speaking, most students taking the college entrance examination start their exams locally.

Li Yang grew up in Jianghai, so he naturally came back to take the college entrance exam; he couldn't possibly stay in Golden City.

Of course, this excludes those with powerful family connections and influence who can simply ask to take the exam in a particular location and have their information transferred.

Generally speaking, ordinary people can't just take the exam wherever they want. It requires a lot of trouble from various departments, and without connections, not everyone will go out of their way to do things for you.

That depends on your connections and influence.

Obviously, Li Yang currently lacks these qualities.

Moreover, it didn't matter to Li Yang. Where he took the exam didn't matter; it was just a matter of taking a plane, a round trip of a few hours. He actually felt more comfortable going back to his hometown.

Soon, Li Yang arrived at the airport terminal. After collecting his luggage, he witnessed a group of elegantly dressed young men and women getting into a stretched Lincoln and driving away.

Putting everything else aside, this is truly impressive.

At this moment, the others who were forced to act as the atmosphere-maker also breathed a sigh of relief.

Only after confirming that everyone else had left did they dare to start complaining.
