“What is it about?” Ye Mo was immediately concerned, he and Chi Wanqing had known each other for a long time, and he had a good impression of Chi Wanqing. This time, Chi Wanqing and Su Jingwen had gone missing together to the Luo Yue Continent, so if Chi Wanqing’s parents had something going on, he should have come out and spoken.
Once Blue Taro took a look at Ye Mo’s face, he knew that Ye Mo thought that what happened last time had happened again. The last time Ye Mo left Luo Yue City, Luo Yue City was almost taken away by the Dongfang family, and then Ye Mo came back and went on a killing spree before Luo Yue was stabilized again.
Without waiting for Ning Zhongfei to speak, Lan Taro hurriedly said, “When Wanqing secretly left from the Hengduan Mountain Range, Wanqing’s parents were very anxious and came to Luoyue several times wanting to know news of Wanqing. Later, after Wanqing’s father retired, he did not remain in the army and simply moved to Luo Yue City. Over the years Luo Yue City has become the safest and most beautiful city in the world thanks to the efforts of Lord Huang and Minister Shen and others.”
Mu An nodded and jacked in, “Yes, I’ve been here a few times in search of Jing Wen. I heard that people who live in Luo Yue City are even in better health.”
Blue Taro gave a hmph but said, “Unfortunately, there are simply too many people who want to come to Luo Yue City, and although City Master Huang and Vice City Master Yu are trying very hard, they still can’t stop the enthusiasm of those people who want to come here. Because of this, the land in Luo Yue City was becoming more and more expensive and simply not affordable for ordinary people. Although Wanqing’s parents have some savings, there is no way to live better here.”
Ye Mo frowned for a moment and asked in confusion, “Wanqing’s mother has a very big company, and there is no shortage of money in Wanqing’s family, so how could they not have the money to live better?”
Blue Taro sighed and said, “After Wanqing disappeared, Wanqing’s mother simply didn’t care about running the company, and her company soon started losing money. It was eventually merged by someone. Plus, Wanqing’s parents didn’t care about the company’s profits and came straight to Luo Yue City.”
Ye Mo was just about to speak when his divine sense swept into the Luo Yue City conference centre where Huang Yianian and the others were meeting, while at this moment there was a man in his thirties sitting next to Huang Yianian, reaching out and slapping the table, his face showing that he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart and very angry.
And surprisingly, Huang Yiannian and Yu Miaotong and the others did not stand up and accuse, but continued to listen to the man speak loudly.
Ye Mo immediately became uncomfortable, no matter if Huang Yianian was right or wrong. As the lord of a city, it was outrageous that someone would dare to slap the table at him in a meeting like this. Huang Yiniang had fixed Luo Yue City in such a well-organised manner over the years, how could he allow such a person to exist in the City Lord’s meeting?
Ye Mo stood up and said to Lan Taro, “Auntie, I need to go to the City Lord’s Palace. I want to ask you to make a trip to bring Wanqing’s parents to live at Luo Yue Lake as well, after all, Luo Yue Lake is very big, so it is not crowded even if dozens of people live there. Of course, more importantly, I would like you to tell Wanqing’s parents what I said, if Wanqing is really cultivating immortality in the Luo Yue Continent. Her parents will have to cultivate if they want to see Wanqing again. If they agree. Just stay at Luo Yue Lake and cultivate.”
After saying that, Ye Mo took out three bottles of pills, but handed them to Mu An, “Auntie Mu. You’ve taken these pills, one of each of them will be good later, and the rest will wait until I come back.”
Although Blue Taro and the others had never seen this kind of elixir, after hearing Ye Mo’s words. They also knew that this kind of elixir was absolutely remarkable. Because Mu An was an example, they had all not seen him for many years. But it was clearly not normal for Mu An to still be so young. If Blue Taro wasn’t anxious about Light Snow, he would have asked about it long ago. Now that Ye Mo had brought out the pills, or Mu An had eaten them, how could she not know?
“Don’t worry and go do your work, I will go to Wanqing’s parents’ place with Zhongfei in a while to take a look.” Blue Taro said in a hurry.
……
“City Master Huang, I don’t see why not, you have seen the development of our Luo Yue City in the last few years. I won’t be wrong, as long as we turn that place into a worldwide trade centre, it will immediately drive the entire Luo Yue economy to take off again.” The man in his thirties who was sitting next to Huang Yianian slapped the table before he even started to speak incessantly. However, none of his words were refuted, so it was obvious that this man’s status was not low.
Huang Yiniang waited for the man to finish before speaking in a muffled voice, “If I say no, then no. Anywhere else is fine, but not here. Suo Tan, I know that Luo Yue City is where it is today, and your planning is inseparable, but there is no negotiation here.”
Huang Yiniang called his name directly now, so it was obvious that Lord Huang City was not satisfied in his heart either. The man called Suo Tan slapped the table once again and stood up excitedly, even saying in a voice almost equivalent to a roar, “Huang City Lord, why is your brain just elmwood? That Luo Yue Lake covers such a huge area, and only Ning Zhongfei and his wife and their daughter, who don’t come back often, live there. What is this if not a waste? Moreover, the owner of Luo Yue Lake, Ye Mo, has not gone through any formalities, which means that it can even be said to be a government plot. It’s not like we’re not letting them live there, we’re just asking them to change the place and turn Luo Yue Lake into a global trade centre. Tell me, which of the economic policies over the years did I get wrong?”
Yu Miaotong suddenly stood up and said coldly, “Suo Tan, if you dare to call City Lord Ye by his name again, I will simply cross you off the list of candidate city lords. Anyone who does not respect City Lord Ye is not worthy of being a City Lord in Luo Yue City. Luo Yue City is said to be the city of all Luo Yue people, but in fact that is a polite way of saying it from City Lord Ye. Luo Yue City is City Lord Ye Mo’s city alone, you admit it or not.”
Suo Tan glanced at Yu Miaotong and said in a flat tone, “Does Vice City Master Yu think this is still the age of fascism? You want to cross out my name just like that? And a city of one’s own? Nowadays, Luo Yue City is a democratic city, no one dares to say that Luo Yue City is still a one-person city.”
Huang Yiniang stood up unhurriedly and said, “I agree with Lord Yu on this point, Luoyue City is a one-person city, it is Ye Mo’s city, and no one can change it. Those who agree with me and City Master Yu’s words all stand up, those who don’t can remain seated.”
Lu Lin, Guo Qi, Li San Dao, Shi Xiu and Fang Wei stood up without hesitation, while Shen Qian Qian hesitated for a moment and stood up as well.
There were only a dozen people in total inside the meeting room, and a large portion of them stood up this time. Suo Tan stared at Shen Qianqian with some anger and said, “Minister Shen, do you also think what I said was wrong? Over the years, you have seen some of my policies. Which one of them is not promoting the development of Luo Yue? And which one of them did I have a selfish motive?”
Shen Qian Qian’s face changed for a while before she spoke out, “Vice City Master Suo, what you said is correct. The contributions you have made to Luo Yue City over the years cannot be ignored by anyone. But I really don’t understand why you must want that part of Luo Yue Lake?”
“I’ve said it several times, that’s the piece of treasure that can make our Luo Yue take off completely.” Suo Tan said even more unsatisfied.
Shen Qian Qian shook her head and said, “What I said about not understanding isn’t really not understanding, I don’t know if others understand what you mean. Because you have been contributing to the development of Luo Yue, and at the same time I know that City Master Huang and City Master Yu will not agree with your opinion, that’s why I have not said anything. But every time you have a meeting it’s this matter, and now you’re even starting to force the issue.”
“Oh, then Minister Shen, just say it, I, Suo Tan, am all for Luo Yue City with all my heart and soul, it’s obvious to everyone, there’s nothing I can’t say.” Suo Tan instead calmed down and said in a light tone.
Shen Qian Qian did not care about Suo Tan’s words and said to herself, “If it was something else, I would have agreed. But Brother Ye is as kind to me as a mountain. Without Brother Ye, there would be no Shen Qian Qian today. I do like business, but after so many years of experience, my ideals have long since been realised, and my continued stay here is no longer for ideals, but a genuine desire to help Brother Ye’s Luo Yue City do something.”
Speaking here, Shen Qian Qian looked coldly at Suo Tan and said, “Do you know why I hesitated not to stand up in the first place just now? Because I really didn’t want you to get into trouble with everyone. Everyone knows Vice City Master Suo’s ability, and that is the main reason why City Master Huang put up with you. There is probably no one here who is more suitable to be the next City Lord than you. Yet you question the ownership of Luo Yue City. Well, I will tell you clearly that Luo Yue City is Brother Ye’s, no matter what time it is. I know that after I say these words, you may not do your best for Luo Yue City anymore, but that’s the truth.”
Suo Tan snorted coldly and said very nonchalantly, “No matter what you say, I, Suo Tan, will not love Luo Yue City any less than any of you. Even if you all think anything of me, I will contribute to Luo Yue City all the same. Everyone is very uncool today, so I suggest that we adjourn the meeting now and leave this matter for another time to be discussed.”
Shen Qian Qian shook her head and said, “Since I have chosen to speak out today, there is no need to put it on another time. In fact, I know what you want, Suo Tan, you really have no desire to endanger Luo Yue City, but you are a little too selfish.”
Seeing that Suo Tan was about to speak again, Shen Qian Qian waved her hand and said, “You don’t need to get excited, wait for me to finish my words. When I say you are selfish, it is because of that area of Luo Yue Lake. That’s right, that place was chosen by Brother Ye himself, and of course it was the best piece of land in the entire Luo Yue City. It was now not just a piece of land, but a symbol of the founders of Luo Yue City. The more time pa*ses, the more the people of Luo Yue City will respect Luo Yue Lake. And you ……”
Shen Qian Qian turned her words to Suo Tan and said, “You are insistent on Luo Yue Lake, certainly because it has the best environment, but more so because you are too ambitious. You want to replace big brother Ye with yourself, and when the world trade centre you say you want is established there, after a long time, others will only forget the former founder of Luo Yue City, Ye Mo. Instead, all that will be remembered is the person who built this World Trade Centre, and that person will be you.”
Suo Tan said with an ugly face, “This is a democratic world, not some personal hero, Minister Shen, please don’t speak with such a jianghu tone.”
Shen Qian Qian said calmly, “I’m not carrying any accent, you know you must be the next lord of the city, that’s why you want everyone else to remember only you.”
“I am the next city lord is right ……,” Sotou grunted coldly.
“Wrong, you are not the next city lord.” A flat voice interrupted the next half of Sotou’s sentence.
