Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Thanks to Anthony
“Huo Chen, you’ve really kept a low profile,” a village elder laughed as he looked at Huo Chen. “We all thought you had truly beco Director Zhang’s lapdog.”
Sun Dcao burst into laughter upon hearing this. “He wouldn’t dare. Xu Ying has been so good to him; if he truly betrayed our Xujia Village,
I doubt his conscience could stand it. Besides, Huo Chen isn’t the type to bow down for a bit of gain.
I didn’t believe it from the start. I always thought this kid must be up to sothing, and it looks like I was right.”
“Oh, Da Cao, you talk like you’re so smart.”
Sun Dcao, full of pride, replied, “Of course I am.”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Mr. Xu looked at everyone and called out with a chuckle, “Alright, I called you all here today for a reason.
We need to discuss so important matters, so let’s all quiet down a bit.”
“Today, I’ve gathered you all to talk about our rural tourism business. My daughter contracted the back hill specifically for developing rural tourism.
As you’ve seen, Yu County has plenty of mountains and rivers, and the scenery is even more beautiful, making it a great tourist destination.
Our country is developing rapidly nowadays, especially economically. Since the establishnt of private enterprises, everyone’s pockets have beco fuller as well.
People today are not like us in the past; we were content just to fill our bellies.
But the young people today are different; they pursue delicious food, beautiful scenery, and overall comfort.
Our little village has beautiful surroundings, and now we’ve also planted fruit trees and arranged accommodations. If we add a place to eat, it would be the perfect spot for people to relax and enjoy themselves.” Huo Chen stood up and earnestly explained to everyone.
Mr. Xu also felt his son-in-law was right: “We’re all idle as it is, so if anyone is willing, tidy up your hos. Then we can get started on our rural tourism business.”
“Village chief, didn’t you build houses up on the mountain? Do you think anyone would want to stay with us?” a villager asked.
Mr. Xu looked toward Huo Chen, as he honestly didn’t know.
With a smile, Huo Chen assured everyone, “As long as we promote our rural tourism well enough to attract more people, it won’t just be our village; I bet even the surrounding villages will have people wanting to stay.”
“Exactly. If there are enough visitors, the places on the mountain won’t be enough to accommodate them all.
Even if no one cos to stay with us, they can still enjoy so farmhouse als.” The villagers began to buzz with discussion about this matter.
After seeing off the villagers, Huo Chen went inside the house.
Upon his return, Xu Ying greeted him with a smile. “Did Director Zhang get ousted?”
Huo Chen, holding a plate of strawberries, sat down on the bed and fed one to Xu Ying. “Mhm, soone like him doesn’t deserve to be a leader.”
Seeing the anger on his face, Xu Ying couldn’t help but smile. “I didn’t expect you to have such a temper.
But now that Director Zhang has fallen, I need to call Anthony quickly; he’s been waiting anxiously for over half a month.
I wonder how impatient he must be, and how much money Henry has managed to make during this ti. That guy is such a shrewd businessman.”
“Henry probably hasn’t made much money.” Huo Chen then shared the incident involving Director Zhang, another deputy director from a different district, and a foreigner.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying’s face showed surprise, then she quickly burst into laughter.
Who knows if Henry has shot himself in the foot this ti.
With a chuckle, Xu Ying soon called Anthony.
Anthony picked up the phone and, hearing Xu Ying’s voice, joyfully exclaid, “Xu, it’s like we’re telepathically connected.”
I was just about to call you when you beat to it.
“Xu, I have sothing very shocking to tell you,” Anthony said, but then his voice suddenly stopped.
He was sure Xu Ying couldn’t be uninterested.
“What’s the matter?” Xu Ying’s curiosity was imdiately piqued.
Anthony then stopped playing coy, “Henry’s in trouble, there’s a traitor in his family.
He’s now facing issues with his shares and might just get kicked out if he’s not careful.
His uncle, who knows what businesses he was conducting behind Henry’s back, has bought out the shares of other family mbers and is now waiting to usurp the position.”
Hearing this, Xu Ying imdiately looked at Huo Chen, “Henry is in trouble, and the person who collaborated with Director Zhang is now trying to fight for power with Henry.
It seems that man might even have more shares than Henry now.”
Huo Chen didn’t speak, thinking if only Henry could also suspend the sale of seasoned and fried snacks, maybe it would affect his uncle who had exploited this loophole.
“Who cares, it’s none of our business.”
“Right, Xu, what’s the reason for your call? When can I continue selling seasoned snacks and fried foods?
You don’t know how ruthless Henry is, he has already exported fried foods and seasoned snacks to our country, my stores and supermarkets are struggling without the revenue from those items,” Anthony complained.
“You can resu selling them now if you want, we’ve resolved the issues over here,” Xu Ying said. “Right, I’ll also send you the items I promised before, along with this order.
I believe you will like them, Anthony. These days I really appreciate your help; you are now not only my business partner but also my friend.
Every ti I co up with a new recipe, you’ll be the first one I offer it to.”
Anthony was thrilled to hear this, convinced he had made the right move, “Xu, you have always been a friend in my heart.
In China, there’s an old saying, ‘For a friend, one would put a knife in their chest.’
“It’s ‘for a friend, one would stab through their own ribs,'” Xu Ying corrected with a smile.
“Yeah, sa thing. If you run into any issue in the future, just speak up. I’ll definitely do everything in my power to help you,” Anthony said earnestly.
Xu Ying felt genuinely moved and completely believed what Anthony said, having already experienced it once before.
“Anthony, if you ever need anything in the future, just tell , and both my man and I will help you.”
At the ntion of Huo Chen, Anthony’s mood soured a bit, “Thank you, Xu. Then I’ll wait for the great stuff you’re sending .”
Xu Ying chuckled under her breath and hung up the phone.
“What are you planning to give to Anthony?” Huo Chen asked, full of curiosity.
Xu Ying chortled, “Steak recipes, all kinds of flavors. I believe he will like them.”
The country Anthony lived in was known for producing great steaks, and the people there also preferred eating steak.
He was definitely going to like the steak recipes she sent over.
She had heard that the guy was planning to open a restaurant recently, this would serve as a perfect thank-you gift.
“You’re also thinking about opening a Western restaurant?” Huo Chen looked at his little wife skeptically.
Mainly because he couldn’t hide the calculating look in Xu Ying’s eyes.
Seeing her man guess her thoughts so quickly, Xu Ying said sowhat helplessly, “Yes, I gave a few recipes to Anthony, I still have so left, and in exchange, I want him to give the lowest price for steak supply.
Later on, we can open a Western restaurant in Huaxia as well, I believe steaks and such will be very popular among the young people.”
