Zhu Bufan's formidable strength not only failed to provoke Zhan Yucheng's resentment, but instead won his favor. Zhan Yucheng is a "strongman" in this world, having built up Yucheng Group from scratch with assets totaling billions.

Previously, when Zhu Bufan came to treat Zhan Feiyu's illness, Zhan Yucheng had people secretly investigate Zhu Bufan's background, knowing that this fellow was just a traveling doctor from a rural area, which is why he had always despised Zhu Bufan, convinced that he was a fraud.

In his subconscious mind, he believed that a fraudster would eventually be exposed, and once the fraudster was revealed, he would be nothing but a pathetic creature. But what about the reality? Zhu Bufan cured Zhan Feiyu's illness, earned Du Yujiao's respect, and with his strong measures, drew people like Zhan Feiyu and Du Yujia to seek collaboration repeatedly.

Until now, Du Yujiao even treated him like a "beloved son" she nurtured, much of it was coincidental, but wasn't it also inevitable?

Zhu Bufan, with powerful capabilities and an ostensibly sincere demeanor (feigning sincerity, but convincingly so—at least Du Yujiao believed it), won the hearts of the Du sisters. More importantly, he could "shield them from the wind and rain" for Du sisters' ventures, which was his key to success.

At Du Yujiao's instruction, Zhu Bufan greeted "Uncle" Zhan Yucheng. he immediately walked forward, bowed and said to Zhan Yucheng: "Father-in-law, Zhu Bufan pays his respects."

"Ha ha ha..." More than a dozen people in the hall burst into laughter. Where did this bumpkin come from, acting like he's one of the family.

"Uh..." Zhan Yucheng did not expect this guy to be so straightforward. However, considering that this fellow already called Du Yujiao "Mom," not directly calling him "dad" was already being polite. Zhan Yucheng had no choice but to grimly say, "Let it be, from now onwards you must treat our little Feihuang well."

"Of course." Zhu Bufan nodded repeatedly. He wanted to babble more, but Du Yujiao hastily signaled Zhan Feihuang to drag him away, to prevent this guy from making a fool of himself at the scene.

That afternoon, Du Yujia and Wang Chaofeng signed the transfer of rights.

Yi Family Investment Company (originally named 'Proud Beauty'—Du Yujiao didn't want to get directly involved in corporate affairs, hence the name change), acquired all property rights of Chunjiang New Village from Chaofeng Real Estate Company for 701 million.

While Yi Family Investment Company was still undergoing registration and could not yet pay funds to Wang Chaofeng, having the local celebrity Zhan Yucheng as a guarantor gave Wang Chaofeng the confidence to hand over Chunjiang New Village to Du Yujia. That afternoon, the staff from Chaofeng Group were withdrawn.

Du Yujia and her entourage went to Chunjiang New Village.

Chunjiang New Village, located in the Chunjiang New District of Ark City, is not directly under the jurisdiction of the city but is governed by Taohua Town. It is not a government-funded new countryside project, but rather a "rural real estate" venture initiated by Wang Chaofeng and others, planning to transform the area into a man-made town.

Near the riverside, there are rows of shops in the village, bustling and prosperous, assuming the village—which is planned to house 20,000 people—could be filled.

Unfortunately, Wang Chaofeng misjudged the situation. Although it's just in the outskirts and quite far from the city, it's still considered suburban. Instead of spending hundreds of thousand here on a house, it's better to directly buy a commercial property "inside the city."

The prices might be slightly higher, but living in the community across means being a city resident, whereas living here in the "new village" means being a rural resident.

Who would want to spend money buying a house here? More than half a month since Chunjiang New Village opened, except for the few units Wang Chaofeng initially got some "stooges" to buy off, the remaining houses have been utterly neglected!

Wang Chaofeng's people all left, and in an instant, this plot of several hundred acres known as Chunjiang New Village fell into "President Zhu's hands," The Yi Family company was just newly established, so the personnel aspect was completely empty. The huge new village shockingly turned into a ghost town.

Du Yujia and others drove around the new village for a brief inspection, and after confirming their satisfaction, they all left. Zhu Bufan was left behind at the scene to guard the Chunjiang New Village.

Damn, actually making me, a grand president, guard the gate here, and even having to patrol back and forth between the front and back gates, how can this be tolerated!

Fortunately, Zhan Feihuang, this carefree girl, volunteered to stay and keep her husband company in guarding the gate.

At the main road of the new village, there was a small building that had already been arranged for living, this became the new home for Zhan Feihuang and Zhu Bufan. Before the subsequent staff from the company could arrive, the two of them had to live here guarding the gate.

Watching Du Yujia and others leave, Zhu Bufan appeared thoughtful. However, Zhan Feihuang plunged into his arms with a plop and said, "Husband, this is our new home, and this new village is our new venture. My dad told me that as long as we can do well in our venture, he will be happy, and the 500 million yuan he invested won't need to be repaid."

"Really?" Zhu Bufan immediately perked up.

"Yes," nodded Zhan Feihuang, carelessly saying, "He told me to keep it a secret from you for a while, but you're my man, how could I keep secrets from you? We're a family after all."

"Very good, very good," Zhu Bufan patted Zhan Feihuang's shoulder gently and said softly, "You really are a good wife, haha."

He was finding Zhan Feihuang more and more adorable.

"Don't be like this!" Zhan Feihuang, her cheeks flushing, freed herself from Zhu Bufan's hold and scolded gently, "We're not married yet, my mom said absolutely not to let you take advantage of me before we're married, hugging me is taking advantage. I'm going to tell my mom!"

"Alright, alright, stop messing around, we've been fussing all afternoon. Let's tidy this place up and get ready for dinner and sleep."

"I don't know how to cook…" Zhan Feihuang pouted, "This place is desolate with no restaurants; what are we going to eat?"

Zhu Bufan pulled Zhan Feihuang to the kitchen, and upon seeing that the kitchen had oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and all sorts of things, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Little Huang, we can cook for ourselves since there are no restaurants. If you don't know how to cook, you can learn. A good woman must know how to cook, I believe you are a good woman!"

"Mmm, husband, I'll learn cooking from you, let's start now." Zhan Feihuang nodded repeatedly.

Zhu Bufan himself didn't know how to cook. Back home, Zhu Dayou and Widow Zhao were always the ones cooking, always hustling and bustling together in the kitchen, with no room for Zhu Bufan to interfere.

But since he'd said that Zhan Feihuang should learn cooking, he had to set an example. Otherwise, if he himself didn't know how to cook, how could he ask this girl to learn?

In a corner, there was a pile of large radishes. Zhu Bufan asked Zhan Feihuang to wash a radish, then he personally demonstrated the "Vegetable Cutting Skill," hacking at the radish randomly, eventually turning it into a pile of radish strips. The saber skill was terrible, but Zhan Feihuang was dancing happily, cheering him on continuously.
