Luo Ziling's idea was indeed correct, as Ouyang Feifei and Ling Ruonan effectively leveraged the event that occurred at noon.

The Yuezhou officials, feeling somewhat "at fault" due to the incident at noon, offered them more favorable policies.

By Luo Ziling's estimation, if measured in terms of money, this accidental event was worth at least a hundred million.

This was indeed a profitable affair.

Showing off, hitting people, and ultimately gaining benefits — nothing could be more exhilarating than this.

Luo Ziling also believed that the entourage involved in the incident, along with the few officials who appeared but didn't participate, surely suffered significant losses.

However, these were not matters that needed their concern; those spoiled by arrogance learning a lesson could be considered gaining knowledge and experience.

Due to Yuezhou's earnestness, Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei represented the Northern Group and Lingyun Group in signing a formal cooperation agreement with the Yuezhou Municipal Government.

Adding to the previous cooperation agreement, the investment of Northern Group and Lingyun Group in Yuezhou already amounted to billions.

Such an investment scale is extremely significant even at the provincial level.

Thus, when the agreement was signed, all key officials from Yuezhou were present, and the administrative chief of Jiangnan Province, along with the deputy administrative chief in charge of trade, drove to Yuezhou to personally attend and preside over the signing ceremony.

At this signing ceremony, Luo Ziling also formally signed an endorsement agreement with Yuezhou, where he would help promote Yuezhou as the ambassador of its image. His image would appear on the streets of Yuezhou.

Luo Ziling refused to accept payment, stating he considered this cooperation as a charitable activity and would participate without compensation.

After signing the agreement, both parties held a celebration event.

Several top officials from Jiangnan Province, along with key leaders from Yuezhou, participated in the celebration event.

At the celebration party, Zhu Hanjun, the administrative chief of Jiangnan Province, said with emotion to Wu Jiandong and Ding Zhongming: "Old Wu and Old Ding, you should know that these cooperation projects originally belonged to Qiantang; they were preparing to sign a cooperation agreement with Jiangnan Province, but unexpectedly, your Yuezhou snatched them away."

"Governor Zhu, Yuezhou is also part of Jiangnan Province," Wu Jiandong quickly explained, fearing Zhu Hanjun might be displeased: "Yuezhou is just this close to Hangzhou, and we are willing to act as the province's backyard. We will certainly build the Traditional Medicine and Culture Park well to add a scenic touch to Jiangnan Province. We also believe that the Northern Group and Lingyun Group will definitely continue to collaborate with Jiangnan Province. I heard that both Northern Group and Lingyun Group are planning to establish their southern headquarters, and if their southern headquarters could settle in Jiangnan Province, then..."

Wu Jiandong promptly stopped speaking, and of course, Zhu Hanjun understood the unsaid meaning behind his words and simply smiled: "Keep striving for it!"

Seeing Wu Jiandong and Ding Zhongming's excitement, Zhu Hanjun reminded them once again: "Within a year, you have managed to secure investments worth more than a hundred billion, which is a very good achievement. But you also must ensure the investment environment remains protected; this can set an example to attract more capital here. Environmental protection should be held to the highest standard; the principle that clear waters and green mountains are more valuable than gold and silver mountains should always be remembered. Jiangnan is famed for its beautiful landscapes; we cannot destroy the clear waters and green mountains for the sake of immediate gold and silver."

Wu Jiandong and Ding Zhongming naturally nodded vigorously and promised to adhere to the requirements set by the provincial government.

"I'm going to talk to Ling Ruonan; you two can first discuss the follow-up arrangements," Zhu Hanjun said, picking up a glass and poured himself half a glass of red wine before walking over to Ling Ruonan.

Being a high-ranking and influential figure, at least within Jiangnan Province, Zhu Hanjun approached Ling Ruonan.

While he is not part of the Ling faction, he was well aware of Ling Ruonan's identity.

This princess from the Ling Family possessed astonishing power.

Ling Family did not restrict her in any way merely because she was a daughter.

He had heard that Ling Ruonan might take up a position either in Zhonghai or Jiangnan Province, likely as a deputy provincial-level official.

If Ling Family chose to assign Ling Ruonan to local duties, her future prospects would be very promising.

After all, Ling Ruonan was still in her early forties and possessed outstanding capabilities. Upon assuming the role of a deputy provincial-level official in the locality, her future would certainly be smooth sailing.

A person of such stature requires maintaining good relations.

"Fortunately, the Luo Family Old Mansion is in Yuezhou," while Zhu Hanjun went over to toast Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei, Wu Jiandong and Ding Zhongming stood together and whispered; Wu Jiandong, a sense of accomplishment in his voice, said to Ding Zhongming: "If we hadn't used this point to maneuver, providing assistance regarding their Luo Family Old Mansion rights, we wouldn't have attracted such massive investment."

"Old Wu, you're quite right," Ding Zhongming acknowledged Wu Jiandong's statement, "The situation has improved even further; Luo Ziling has become a renowned internet sensation, praised as a national hero and a national male idol, with countless fans, making him a shining card. Utilizing him to promote our Yuezhou will surely yield remarkable results. Next, we must make sure to produce an excellent promotion video for Yuezhou, fully utilizing Luo Ziling's popularity and his channels to further boost Yuezhou's fame to attract more investments and tourists."

"If they agree, we could develop the Luo Family Old Mansion into a tourist attraction; after all, it is not far from Orchid Pavilion and could be bundled together for promotion. Additionally, the Traditional Medicine and Culture Park could be added," Wu Jiandong paused briefly before continuing: "Yuezhou's reputation will only grow stronger if we find a way to have Luo Ziling and his grandfather stationed in Yuezhou, which would further attract talent and tourists."

"Old Wu, I just heard that Yan University is leveraging Luo Ziling to establish a Traditional Medicine specialty and is preparing to build a national laboratory. We could also prepare for this; our Yuezhou Liberal Arts College could invite him as a visiting professor, and while establishing the Traditional Medicine and Culture Park, we could also plan for a traditional medicine experimental park," Ding Zhongming seemed quite excited, "Who knows, utilizing Luo Ziling and his grandfather's reputation, we might secure a national laboratory project, at least we could set up a branch laboratory."

Wu Jiandong was unaware of this matter, hearing Ding Zhongming's proposal sparked his interest immediately: "That's a great idea! Let's find a way to sound out Luo Ziling's stance. Building a laboratory next to the Cultural Park would be terrific. Traditional medicine culture could become a golden card for Yuezhou. Old Mr. Luo is advanced in years and might cherish his hometown; why don't we start by appealing to Old Mr. Luo? If Old Mr. Luo is willing to participate in this project, then Luo Ziling should not refuse."

"I'll first have a chat with Luo Ziling about this, then find an opportunity to visit Yanjing to meet Old Mr. Luo."

"Agreed!"
