Once these 500 million are spent, it's as if Bai Chen has become the master of the entire Ivory Mountain!
No, to some extent, the entire Songshan Town is raised by Bai Chen.
Even the town mayor, Qi Santai, would treat Bai Chen like his own grandfather.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang have made tofu for most of their lives, and they sell a piece of tofu for 50 cents.
Based on this price, they would have to make tofu for at least a thousand years to earn 500 million!
"Xiao...Xiao Chen?"
"You...you really spent 500 million to acquire Ivory Mountain?"
Wang Laoqi's lips trembled; he was somewhat dazed.
As for Chang Gui, Xiao Meng, and the others standing to the side, they all had the same expression.
"Hahaha..."
"Seventh Uncle, would I need to lie to you about this?"
"Hey, wait a minute, Mayor Qi is calling me, let me take this call first."
In front of everyone, Bai Chen answered the phone quite naturally.
Amidst everyone's incredulous gazes, I casually called out, "Xiao Qi? Is something the matter?"
This time... everyone had no choice but to believe it!
Chapter 431: Tonight, I'm going to have a big, healthy baby boy with Xiaomeng!
Qi Santai was very polite on the phone.
The other party said they wanted to personally invite Bai Chen to dinner, but Bai Chen politely declined.
The top priority now is to put the 'development of Ivory Mountain' on the agenda!
Qi Santai indicated that the process would be expedited.
The relevant paperwork is being processed and delivered as quickly as possible.
Bai Chen hung up the phone without bothering to argue, while the people in front of him all looked at him with admiration.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a town mayor is already considered a very high-ranking official position!
A person who can make Mayor Qi lower his voice is already a dragon among men!
"Um... everyone, please don't look at me like that."
"By the way, Xiaomeng, do you have any food at home? I haven't eaten much this morning and I'm a little hungry."
This statement left everyone present confused.
Before Xiao Meng could speak, Wang Laoqi excitedly shouted, "Yes, yes, yes! We have everything we need at home!!"
"Xiao Chen, you absolutely must stay!"
"Old woman, slaughter all the chickens, ducks, geese, cows, and sheep in the house!!"
Little Mengniang remained stunned and speechless.
Looking at Bai Chen in front of him, he was still in a daze for a long time, recalling what had just happened.
...Back to Xiao Meng's house.
Wang Laoqi couldn't stop smiling the whole way.
After arriving home, we slaughtered sheep and cattle and prepared a lavish feast on a large table!
This level of abundance is only seen during the Lunar New Year in rural areas.
At the dinner table, the two elders, with tears streaming down their faces, held Bai Chen's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Xiao Chen..."
"It's our family's good fortune that you've taken a liking to our Xiaomeng!"
"My uncle and aunt don't speak very tactfully during the day, please don't take offense..."
The words fell.
After downing a glass of strong liquor, Wang Laoqi was already in a daze.
He had never been so happy before, watching Bai Chen repeatedly call out, "My dear son-in-law, my dear son-in-law..."
"Haha, Uncle Seven."
"You can't say that. Xiao Meng is a very good girl."
"It's fate that brought us into this relationship."
"Here you go, Uncle Seven, I'll drink it."
One glass of liquor after another was downed.
Seeing that the time was right, Bai Chen casually pulled out several stacks of red banknotes from his backpack.
Wang Laoqi, who was completely drunk, was stunned.
"Xiao Chen...you...what's going on??"
"Seventh Uncle, please don't misunderstand."
Bai Chen calmly said, "Since I came to Ivory Mountain, you, my aunt, and Xiao Meng have all been very good to me."
"This tens of thousands isn't much; consider it my living expenses here."
Not much indeed.
It only cost a little over 50,000 yuan in total.
That amount of money would only be enough for one meal in Shanghai.
But this place is different; this is Xiangyashan Village, a rural area.
Most ordinary people here can only earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year by working themselves to the bone.
Bai Chen casually pulled out 50,000 yuan, which stunned Wang Laoqi and his wife.
This money is equivalent to the net profit they make selling tofu for a whole year!
"No, absolutely not!"
"Xiao Chen, what kind of person do you take your uncle for?"
"Did Uncle entrust Xiao Meng to you for money?"
"Take this money away right now, or I'll still be angry!"
Wang Laoqi's kindness was unexpected.
His integrity and inability to be bought with money are exactly the same qualities he possesses as the characters in "Country Love".
"haha okay."
Seeing that Wang Linglong 852 Lao Qi repeatedly refused, Bai Chen did not force her.
After three rounds of drinking.
The food tastes delicious.
I drank with Wang Laoqi until after 10 p.m.
Bai Chen is a wine god; after drinking this much wine, apart from a slight alcoholic smell, he felt basically no dizziness.
Wang Laoqi, on the other hand, was already completely drunk.
He spoke unclearly, talking to himself incessantly.
The mother and daughter, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't sit still any longer.
Xiao Meng's mother hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Laoqi.
"Old man? Alright, alright, stop dawdling."
"You've had too much to drink. Come on, go to sleep!"
Wang Laoqi got angry: "Don't pull me, I'm having a great chat with Xiao Chen."
This scene left Bai Chen both amused and exasperated.
When people from Northeast China get drunk, they become very outspoken and speak their minds without any restraint.
This kind of forthright and generous spirit is exactly what Bai Chen likes.
Turning to look at Xiao Meng sitting on the bench, her face was flushed, and her big eyes were slightly evasive and shy.
"Wang Laoqi!"
Xiao Meng's mother's stern rebuke instantly brought the atmosphere in the room to a freezing point.
"You've had too much to drink, go to sleep."
"Don't you even know what time it is?"
"Don't Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng need to rest too?"
Originally, Wang Laoqi absolutely refused to get off the table.
He only snapped to attention when he heard the last sentence!
He hurriedly stood up, patted Bai Chen on the shoulder, and said, his breath reeking of alcohol;
"Xiao Chen!"
"I'm entrusting Xiao Meng to you. Try your best to raise him into a big, healthy boy."
Wang Xiaomeng, standing to the side, blushed deeply and cried out, "Dad~~"
"Stop talking now."
The mother and daughter helped Wang Laoqi back to his room, and the room immediately became much quieter.
It was past 11 p.m. when we finally cleared the table.
Bai Chen leaned against the pillow and glanced at his phone; the signal strength was still zero.
The first thing to do tomorrow is to solve the signal problem in Ivory Mountain Village!
