CHAPTER 478: CHAPTER 478 ENTHUSIASTIC DIRECTOR OF INVESTMENT PROMOTION

Long the Fifth, the underground leader of Sanxue Town, was a fearsome figure in the town. Several well-known entertainment venues were his assets, making him a certified local tyrant.

However, after receiving a mysterious phone call, this local tyrant suddenly kneeled to Lin Fan.

He even declared that Zheng Yang’s debt was canceled.

This stunned everyone.

What was going on? Did Long the Fifth take the wrong medicine?

While everyone was bewildered, a business vehicle drove up, and judging by the emblem on the car, it was a town government vehicle.

A middle-aged man in a suit and glasses got out of the car.

"Excuse me, who is Mr. Lin Fan?"

The middle-aged man looked at the crowd with a gentle smile, appearing to be a refined and amiable person.

Lin Fan said, "That’s me."

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Fan, immediately came forward, and enthusiastically extended his hand, "Mr. Lin, hello, I am Li Yuchun, the director of our town’s investment promotion bureau. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Your presence truly graces our small town."

What?

Everyone froze.

The director of the investment promotion bureau came in person to find Lin Fan and was so polite?

"Director Li, pleased to meet you." Lin Fan shook hands with Li Yuchun politely.

Li Yuchun smiled and said, "Originally, the mayor wanted to personally greet Mr. Lin, but unfortunately he has a meeting in the city and can’t get away. The mayor asked me to convey his regret."

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, cold sweat streaming down their backs.

The mayor seemed to hold Lin Fan in high regard?

This...

No wonder Long the Fifth suddenly kneeled. Offending Lin Fan meant offending the mayor. No matter how mighty Long the Fifth was in Sanxue Town, he wouldn’t dare to go against the mayor; that would be suicidal!

This Lin Fan, who could even have the mayor being courteous, definitely had an extraordinary status.

He was not an ordinary person!

Long the Fifth was someone who could read the situation. Such a Lin Fan, even with ten guts, he wouldn’t dare offend.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "The mayor is too polite. Next time, if there’s a chance, I will personally pay him a visit."

Li Yuchun smiled and said, "The mayor will be very pleased to hear that. By the way, Mr. Lin, what brings you to our small town this time?"

Lin Fan had previously mentioned making a phone call to the Yun City Government for assistance because he encountered a small problem in Sanxue Town. The city government immediately agreed and contacted the town government.

Upon hearing that the richest man in Yun City had arrived in Sanxue Town, the town government was in a stir.

The mayor was in the city for a meeting, wishing he could sprout wings and fly back to personally receive Lin Fan.

Ultimately, the mayor dispatched Li Yuchun, the director of the investment promotion bureau, to personally receive Lin Fan.

From the town’s perspective, the richest man from Yun City visiting Sanxue Town could mean he’s looking for business opportunities. If Lin Fan could invest in Sanxue Town, it would be an enormous blessing, a golden opportunity delivered to their doorstep.

Sanxue Town, located in Jiangnan City, is relatively underdeveloped. Even though the town government had been working diligently, investment results were mediocre; capital was reluctant to come in, and no one was optimistic about the area’s development!

Now, with the richest man from Yun City visiting, if he were looking for investment opportunities, they definitely could not let it slip through their fingers.

Lin Fan knew that Li Yuchun coming to receive him meant they valued him as a business mogul. Put simply, they were interested in Lin Fan’s money.

Lin Fan merely had a run-in with Long the Fifth, who was difficult to deal with, so he leveraged his connections, using the town government to pressure Long the Fifth.

This time he came, it wasn’t to look for business opportunities. This peripheral town hadn’t caught his attention yet.

Of course, Lin Fan wouldn’t point this out, smiling and saying, "It’s nothing much, just taking a stroll around the area. Today, I wandered into Sanxue Town, just casually inspecting."

Lin Fan intentionally said it this way. His words hinted deliberately, and the listeners took it to heart, making Li Yuchun excited.

Lin Fan, the richest man in Yun City, said he’s just strolling around. Surely, it couldn’t be a mere casual walk; he must be looking for business opportunities. Seizing this chance, it was crucial to vigorously promote the local area. If they could persuade Lin Fan to invest and settle in Sanxue Town, that would be a tremendous achievement.

If Lin Fan chose Sanxue Town, other towns would probably turn green with envy. Sanxue Town’s status would instantly elevate.

The richest man in Yun City is just that impressive!

Lin Fan continued, "I was lucky to meet an old friend here, but unfortunately encountered a minor issue."

Li Yuchun said, "I heard about it too; Mr. Lin encountered trouble. That’s why I rushed over. Was it Long the Fifth and his group causing trouble?"

Li Yuchun glanced at Long the Fifth, his gaze turned cold.

Long the Fifth was frightened out of his mind. This time, he was doomed. He intended to show off but didn’t realize he was dealing with a significant figure, completely failing to pull off the act and was about to be flattened instead.

Just when Long the Fifth thought the world was ending.

Lin Fan laughed softly and said, "It’s nothing now; it turned out to be a misunderstanding."

Long the Fifth was stunned. Lin Fan could easily crush him, yet he brushed it off lightly. This was sparing him!

Hearing this, Li Yuchun’s sharp gaze softened, and he regained his gentle smile, "That’s good to hear. If Mr. Lin encounters any issues in our town, feel free to contact me immediately."

Li Yuchun handed Lin Fan a business card.

Lin Fan accepted the card and said, "Thank you."

Li Yuchun said, "Mr. Lin, since it’s rare for you to visit our small town, why not come back to the town government with me, so I can properly host you?"

Li Yuchun’s intention was clear. He wanted to take Lin Fan to the town government to thoroughly pitch Sanxue Town. If Lin Fan invested, it would be fantastic.

Lin Fan understood Li Yuchun’s intent and smiled, "Thank you very much for your hospitality, Director Li, but I’m in a bit of a hurry today and have to return to Yun City shortly, so I won’t impose. Next time, I’ll personally visit the town government."

Li Yuchun acknowledged he felt a bit disappointed. He was initially full of enthusiasm to promote Sanxue Town to Lin Fan, and Lin Fan’s words were like a bucket of cold water.

But Li Yuchun couldn’t insist; Lin Fan mentioned he had to leave due to commitments, and if he persisted, it would put Lin Fan in a difficult position.

So all he could do was hope that this richest man from Yun City would indeed visit again.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, next time you come to Sanxue Town, please make sure to give me a call in advance, so I can prepare and welcome you," Li Yuchun said with a smile.

In any case, the primary task was not to offend Lin Fan. Li Yuchun had some experience in this regard, and for now, he handled the situation appropriately without offending Lin Fan.

Li Yuchun refrained from pursuing the matter further to avoid irritating Lin Fan. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he took his leave.

During the conversation between Lin Fan and Li Yuchun, everyone around was left in a daze.

The scene before their eyes left them utterly perplexed. What was going on? Lin Fan was incredibly impressive; even the director of the investment promotion bureau treated him with such respect. Who exactly was this Lin Fan?
