Because Lu Shangao needs Liu Ming's support in many projects, but the support Liu Ming gives is very limited...

"Just calling my brother-in-law out of boredom, how's my sister's health?" Liu Ming began some small talk. He also knew Lu Shangao wasn't too keen on him, as many times he could have fully opened policies for Lu Shangao but instead was trying to win over some other businessmen, which is why support for Lu Shangao was often limited.

"She's alright, eating and drinking well."

"How about young Song? Planning to go to college?" Liu Ming continued with the small talk.

"The kid probably won't go to college. He's now a director at a company." When talking about Lu Yunsong, Lu Shangao smiled. Yunsong really made him proud!

"Oh? A director at a company? Which company? How come I've never heard of it?" Liu Ming asked.

"A newly established company, it's normal for you not to know. I heard the CEO of this company is your old rival Su Ji's daughter." Lu Shangao shared some of what he knew with Liu Ming, to prevent Liu from being too eager without understanding the current affairs.

"Oh? So Su Ji's daughter is in Peng City now?" Liu Ming asked, using the conversation to segue into the main topic.

"Yes! Su Ji's son-in-law is also here haha, did you call me today to say something?" Hearing Liu Ming's words, Lu Shangao knew he had something he wanted to ask, so to give Liu Ming a chance, he asked a question in return.

"Haha, yes! Today, Su Ji and Vice Chen went to Peng City. I wonder if they are there to inspect its development, so I wanted to ask you, just in case Su Ji asks questions and I'll need to prepare materials in advance," Liu Ming said.

When Lu Shangao heard this, he just shrugged, thinking that Peng City's development doesn't require the provincial head of economic affairs to handle it. Whether Su Jinyuan comes to inspect Peng City or not, it's not your concern, right?

Of course! If Liu Ming has other purposes, it might concern him, but it definitely isn't because Su Jinyuan is inspecting Peng City.

"I'll keep an eye on it!" Lu Shangao, being a smart person, didn't need Liu Ming to spell it out to know what Liu Ming wanted to know.

Liu Ming just wanted to know where Su Jinyuan and Chen Lingyun, etc., went and if it would affect his plans.

"Haha, thanks, brother-in-law. If you need any help, just let me know. I've got something to do now, so I'll be off," Liu Ming said politely.

Lu Shangao just nodded and hung up the phone without saying anything more.

After he hung up, he called his people, asking them to keep an eye on where Su Jinyuan went. Although he didn't like his wife's big brother, he didn't want Liu Ming to step down either. After all, they were family.

After Su Jinyuan and others entered Peng City, they did not go to the City Hall but headed to the Celestial Paradise Coast instead.

Recently, Lin Tian bought back the nearby real estate at high prices around the Celestial Paradise Coast and even built walls near the coast to prevent people from entering the sea.

Lin Tian knew that Ye Hao's two islands were researching things in the ocean. He couldn't help Ye Hao with the research, so he could only think of safety measures for him to keep many people from getting too close, which might cause a huge fuss.

Lin Tian also bought a large section of beach on the Zhujiang River coast. It was basically encircling Lingding Ocean to prevent others from approaching the Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit and Wealth Island.

Although Lin Tian's approach displeased some people up top, it didn't affect their interests, so they all stayed silent about Lin Tian's purchase of these places.

When Su Jinyuan arrived at the Celestial Paradise Coast and saw the situation, he understood a bit.

Inwardly, he thought, Lin Tian, oh Lin Tian! It seems Ye Hao would need your help a lot in his life.

Chen Lingyun and Zhao Jiangchen arrived at the Celestial Paradise Coast but did not go directly to Ye Hao's villa. Instead, they got off the car together, went to a nearby market, and bought several jin of fruit and a few bottles of Maotai.

Even though these few bottles of Maotai cost thousands, they didn't feel any pain about it. Because the power they had in the household was all thanks to Ye Hao, and they were grateful for Ye Hao, so when they came to see him, they didn't mind spending some money.

Seeing the Maotai and fruits they bought, Su Jinyuan wondered what these two were up to. Being inexplicably excited in the car was one thing, but going to Ye Hao's place with fruit and famous wine?

"Being so courteous to that kid?" Su Jinyuan asked with a smile.

"Haha, Secretary, you don't know. Nephew Ye is very capable." Chen Lingyun, holding two bottles of Maotai, laughed as he got into the car.

Zhao Jiangchen was carrying a big bag full of fruit.

"What kind of abilities?" Su Jinyuan's gaze sharpened, thinking did Chen Lingyun and the others know about Ye Hao's feat in Tokyo?

That's impossible, right? It's usually only the highest ranks of Huaxia who know. How could Chen Lingyun and the others possibly know?

"Hehe, that's a secret. Secretary, please don't ask. You can ask Nephew Ye," Chen Lingyun said with a bright smile.

Su Jinyuan was even more dumbfounded. When had Chen Lingyun ever had such a bright smile in the past? Ever since the last time... oh! Wasn't there an occasion when Chen Lingyun and Zhao Jiangchen went to Peng City? Could it be that they came to Peng City and met Ye Hao?

Or did Ye Hao give them some benefits, or what?

Zhao Jiangchen was also smiling but didn't explain anything.

If Ye Hao talks to Su Jinyuan, they can frankly tell Su Jinyuan about their physical issues and that it was Ye Hao who helped them solve decades-old health problems. But if Ye Hao doesn't want others to know his methods are so powerful, they wouldn't reveal Ye Hao's secret.

Su Jinyuan was helpless and had to let them be. As a provincial secretary, he couldn't show too much curiosity to his subordinates.

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing were currently eating apples and watching TV in the living room, while Ye Hao was cooking in the kitchen.

With guests coming over today, Ye Hao naturally wouldn't let Lin Ruyu and Su Qing cook. Although their cooking was good, it wasn't as fragrant as Ye Hao's.

Hence, Ye Hao cooked himself.

When Su Jinyuan and the others arrived outside the courtyard, the driver honked twice. But he immediately regretted it because Zheng Guang, who was outside the villa, silently appeared beside the driver's seat.

Zheng Guang warned, "Stay quiet when you're here."

The driver nodded upon hearing this, thinking that Su Ji's son-in-law must be quite significant, as even the villa's bodyguard was so formidable.

Su Jinyuan got out with a cheerful smile.

Zheng Guang hurriedly greeted, "Zheng Guang greets the master."

"Haha, no need to be so formal. Where's that kid?" Su Jinyuan chuckled.

He also knew that Zheng Guang was Ye Hao's Innate Realm manager, so he was courteous to Zheng Guang.

"The young master is inside, this way please, master," Zheng Guang respectfully led Su Jinyuan in. (To be continued.
