Jin Xing nodded, "It is indeed very strange."
"As far as I know, at the auction that day, a Pill Furnace of Nanhua Old Immortal was sold."
"Now, nobody knows where this Pill Furnace has gone. Could it be that this kid took it? Murder for treasure?"
Jin Yuanbao nodded, "Dad, we think alike!"
Jin Xing frowned, "But does this kid have such strength, can he kill Yuan Zhenfeng?"
"Even I, your dad, would need forty to fifty moves to defeat him."
Jin Yuanbao: "I don't know his strength, but I know he is closely associated with the Valley Master of Yun Valley, Nangong Chunshui!"
"Moreover, in my impression, he is very calm and collected in his actions. Even Nangong Chunshui seems to defer to him!"
"Additionally, before he appeared, a protective amulet surfaced at the auction, which could block a full-force strike from a Grandmaster!"
"That amulet sold for a high price at the venue, yet that kid didn't bid even once!"
Jin Xing: "Kid, I get what you mean! Are you saying that the protective amulet belonged to that kid?"
Jin Yuanbao nodded, "It shouldn't be an accident, it is!"
Jin Xing: "Crafting talismans, that's not a mortal's means, it's a top-tier Taoist skill."
"And this Pill Furnace was reportedly used by Nanhua Old Immortal during the Three Kingdoms period."
"Since this kid can craft talismans, he surely knows alchemy! Yuan Zhenfeng was most likely killed by him!"
Jin Yuanbao: "I researched that talisman, the vermillion on it is still fresh, it's definitely his work!"
Jin Xing felt a chill down his spine, "We are practicing martial arts, but this kid is cultivating immortality!"
Jin Yuanbao: "Dad, now the 749 Bureau is frequently appearing all over Great Xia, I suspect the time for the revival of Spiritual Qi is not far off."
Jin Xing's heart skipped a beat again, if it were true, building a good relationship with Li Chuan might open a breakthrough in the years-long cultivation problem he's been facing!
Thinking of this, Jin Xing could no longer remain calm in his heart.
"Son, you did well this time! Meeting such a genius, the future of our Jin family, the breakthrough, might lie with him!" Jin Xing said excitedly, "Do you have his contact information, his WeChat?"
Jin Yuanbao nodded, "I understand, I'll go find him right away!"
"But… Dad… aren't you going to give me more power?"
Upon saying this, Jin Yuanbao chuckled, "With more power, it's more convenient for me to get things done!"
In fact, Jin Yuanbao had some control over the Jin family companies, but the power wasn't significant.
Jin Xing smiled faintly, "Yuanbao, do you know why I haven't handed over power to you?"
Jin Yuanbao shook his head, "Isn't it because you're afraid I'll squander money?"
Jin Xing shook his head, "Squander money? Our Jin family's assets can let us squander for hundreds, even thousands of generations. Spending some money freely isn't a concern. I worry about your entrepreneurial spirit!"
"As the saying goes, don't be afraid of the second generation wasting money, be afraid of them starting businesses."
"But things are different now, as long as you focus on Li Chuan, no matter how you squander or invest, it doesn't matter much."
Jin Yuanbao nodded, "I get it! I get it!"
...
At the same time.
In Wulin County.
After returning to the Investment Promotion Bureau, Jing Tian went straight to Director Tian Jianhui's office and told him about Mu Weishuang's plan to build an international freight terminal.
Tian Jianhui, being her supervisor, certainly needed to report this to the higher-ups.
After hearing Jing Tian's report, a look of disbelief appeared on Tian Jianhui's face. He couldn't have imagined that in a place like Wulin County, someone would come to build an international freight terminal?
If this is true, wouldn't it mean hope for Wulin County?
And, it would be a massive project accomplished during his tenure!
This would mean a boundless political future for him!
Realizing this, Tian Jianhui immediately said, "Vice Director Jing, I understand this matter. I will communicate with the government. If there's nothing else, you can go back and rest."
Jing Tian was perplexed, wondering why she was being told to rest for no reason?
This old man is clearly trying to steal my credit!
Thinking of this, Jing Tian immediately said, "Director Tian, I don't need the rest, let's go together."
Tian Jianhui shook his head, "Vice Director Jing, if you don't rest today, I have a few tasks for you. Tomorrow, some investors will come to inspect Wulin County, and you will lead the team, so you should research their backgrounds today, to be more prepared for tomorrow!"
"As for the freight terminal you mentioned, let me handle it." After saying that, Tian Jianhui got up and left.
Jing Tian: "..."
Clearly, this time Tian Jianhui was determined to take credit for this.
Actually, the conditions Mu Weishuang proposed seemed harsh, but as long as the county government wasn't foolish, they would certainly agree.
What does an international freight terminal mean?
It's the hope for the rise of Wulin County!
For years, she had entertained countless investors, with no one willing to truly invest.
Mu Weishuang was the first one!
And Tian Jianhui wanted to take it from her?
Thinking of this, Jing Tian suddenly felt a bit disheartened and returned to her office feeling lost. She collapsed onto the sofa, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhaustion, as if drained of all strength.
"Hmm, Sister Tian, why are you in the office?"
After some affectionate moments with Mu Weishuang, Li Chuan returned to the promotion bureau.
Upon entering Jing Tian's office, he saw his beautiful supervisor lying on the sofa looking lost, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. After presenting such a big gift, their supervisor should be full of energy!
Shouldn't she now be at the county government building, discussing the terminal project with the county secretary and county head?
"Tian Jianhui went to the county government to report." Jing Tian came to her senses, turning her head to look at the approaching night outside the window, "It's time to get off work, take me home."
Li Chuan was puzzled, "Tian Jianhui went to report, does he intend to claim the project for himself and sign with Miss Mu? In that case, wouldn't it become his achievement?"
Jing Tian sighed, "This is a common procedure within the system, you just came, after witnessing it more often, it will become less strange."
Li Chuan laughed upon hearing this, "Sister Tian, if that's the case, then his plans are mistaken. Even if the county secretary and county head support Tian Jianhui, it won't work, Miss Mu only recognizes you!"
Jing Tian was a bit curious, "Why is that?"
