"Shall we go for a stroll? I’ve never been to the Pearl River area despite how old I am. This weekend, can you take around that big bridge? I heard it connects directly to Hong Kong and Ao Hai. I haven’t been to either place."
Finally, Lin Yue couldn’t hold it in anymore at ho.
Being more than seven months pregnant, she only occasionally went to the supermarket to buy fresh vegetables when her mother-in-law was around.
And the rest of the ti, she stayed at ho.
Now, taking advantage of Gu Feng’s return, Lin Yue coyly pleaded to go out for a walk and window-shop.
"Since we’ve co to Shencheng, strictly speaking, we never really took the ti to explore this city. It’s been over half a year, and the entire city has undergone earth-shattering changes due to the policies you’ve implented. Don’t you want to see Shencheng’s current appearance and the life that its citizens desire?"
As Lin Yue spoke, her long eyelashes fluttered. She was so eager to go out that she abandoned her ordinarily cool persona, which was quite adorably at odds with her usual self.
"With my husband here, who could harm ? Let’s go. The doctor says the baby is fully ford, just waiting for the due date. Take on a stroll, just for two days."
Gu Feng couldn’t resist her, seeing that she appeared quite distressed.
He had no choice but to take Lin Yue’s hand and say, "Alright, then I’ll take you around the nearby cities for a stroll."
Imdiately, Lin Yue bead with happiness and nodded, signaling to Yu to quickly go and help her pack so simple maternity clothes.
Truth be told, Gu Feng had never really gone sightseeing in Shencheng and the surrounding cities either.
Ever since he beca the Lord here, most of the ti during his inspection, he looked at the terrain of the surrounding mountainous regions through satellite maps.
Afterward, he mostly t with various subordinate officers of his territory a few tis.
He truly hadn’t taken the ti to appreciate Shencheng’s cityscape.
After starting work, he spent most of a week in the suburban base, and on occasion when he returned, he was only busy with official duties, reviewing departnt docunts, and the rest of the ti was either at ho with his wife.
Today, Shencheng’s population has almost doubled, and the urban planning and construction zone has also expanded. Shencheng is now quite prosperous.
Although it doesn’t have as many landmark buildings as Jiangcheng or the Magic Capital, Shencheng’s GDP has far surpassed Jiangcheng’s, becoming the number one in the country!
Since Lin Yue had asked, of course, Gu Feng would satisfy her.
Because it wasn’t an official trip, Gu Feng didn’t drive his official car but switched to a business-class rcedes-Maybach sedan.
Lin Yue just didn’t want to stay at ho, so as long as she could get out for so fresh air, she was content even just sitting in the car and looking at the city scenery.
Gu Feng took her on a long drive around Shencheng, especially around a few bustling comrcial streets. Lin Yue, who felt like she had been cut off from the world for half a year, found it quite novel to stroll along the pedestrian streets, hand in hand with Gu Feng.
On the road, many internet celebrities were filming various short videos on the comrcial pedestrian streets.
Whether they were embarrassed, Lin Yue didn’t know, but she found it quite funny and entertaining to watch.
There were also many foreigners visible everywhere, showcasing Shencheng’s current inclusiveness towards globalization.
After a morning of strolling, Gu Feng took Lin Yue to Shencheng’s most famous private dining restaurant for cuisines she hadn’t had during her pregnancy.
Most of the als prepared at ho by the chef were for the pregnancy diet, but occasionally going out, Gu Feng let her indulge her cravings.
Excluding negative and seafood dishes, the restaurant prepared all of Lin Yue’s favored signature dishes, and she ate with great satisfaction.
"Feng, sister-in-law, it’s great to finally see you two out and about," the door to the restaurant’s private dining room opened. Guo Yunfan walked in with a smile, "If the manager hadn’t inford , I would have missed it."
He laughed awkwardly as he asked, "Can I sit down and eat with you?"
Gu Feng nodded, "Go ahead and eat. With so many dishes suddenly served, I guessed that this restaurant might recognize us."
Guo Yunfan sat down with a smile, took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by the manager, who happened to be in charge of welcoming the two of them. The manager bowed and explained, "I have seen you and your lady in Jiangcheng before."
Gu Feng suddenly understood, then turned to Guo Yunfan, "Is this restaurant yours?"
Guo Yunfan nodded, "I have many friends here in Shencheng, and I need to host them usually. I used to frequent nightclubs when I was younger, but now I can’t handle it anymore. I shifted to a healthier lifestyle; hence, I opened this private dining place to have small gatherings with friends."
While talking, Guo Yunfan personally poured a drink for Gu Feng, "Feng, try this Maotai from the ’Immortal Brew’ series. It’s brewed by a local distillery and, thanks to the unique nourishnt of the Spiritual Field, it’s impossible to find on the market now."
Lin Yue rolled her eyes at Guo Yunfan, "Do you think that a distillery that managed to get a quota to set up an independent factory in Shenzhen wouldn’t provide liquor to the family? It’s just that your Feng doesn’t drink it normally."
Indeed, at Gu Feng’s ho, there were special supply drinks sent by both Maotai and Wuliangye distilleries.
But Gu Feng didn’t like to drink while working, and he definitely wouldn’t drink at ho with his wife.
So many bottles were stored in the wine cabinet where Lin Yue stayed.
As Guo Yunfan ntioned, the Spiritual Field in Shencheng was not only suitable for vegetable and fruit agriculture, but the liquor brewed there was also endowed with spiritual moisture.
The local existing beer factory was given licenses as usual, but subsequently, no other distilleries were allowed to set up.
As far as baijiu was concerned, Maotai and Wuliangye sought Gu Feng through the relationships of elders.
So, he granted the only two liquor-production licenses to these two companies.
Afterward, both distilleries gave birth to the new ’Immortal Brew’ series brand.
The first batch of 10,000 bottles, which entered the cellar six months prior, sold out instantly at the price of 59,900 yuan per bottle upon release.
The second batch might not hit the market until next year, so just like Guo Yunfan said, the first batch truly could not be found on the market anymore.
After hearing Lin Yue’s words, Guo Yunfan’s eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "Feng, could you bestow a bottle of this special brew upon your little brother? I’ll use it as a treasured item in my establishnt."
In the circle of the rich, it’s not surprising for people to afford and buy ’Immortal Brew’.
But to get a special bottle of ’Immortal Brew’ given to the Lord of Dongguang like Gu Feng—that would certainly earn Guo Yunfan significant face when his investor friends visited, wouldn’t it?
"Sure," Gu Feng looked at Chen, "Send President Guo a bottle later."
"Thank you, Feng. Thank you, sister-in-law," Guo Yunfan felt this al was especially delicious.
Only after Gu Feng and Lin Yue left for their next destination in the Pearl River Ao Hai District did Guo Yunfan comnd the store manager, "Well done."
Had his staff not been sharp-eyed to contact him promptly, Guo Yunfan might have missed this al completely.
Now with Gu Feng and Lin Yue’s status not being what it once was, to Guo Yunfan, every opportunity to dine with Feng helped to prolong their friendship.
This al was very important to him.
Right away, he told his secretary, "Promote him to vice president of this restaurant."
"Thank you, President Guo! Thank you!" The manager was overjoyed.
