On the stage, Zhang Hui was frightened and disoriented.

At this precise moment, she finally recognized the magnitude of Lin Yun's influence.

Many billionaires showed exceptional respect towards Lin Yun.

Those billionaires were far from being fools, she noticed the content of the conversation.

They had indeed met Lin Yun at our last gathering at the Wangxian Tower ... the general manager of Wangxian Tower had mentioned him...

It was likely that those wealthy businessmen were already aware of Lin Yun's capabilities.

That's why they didn't doubt what Lin Yun said.

Lin Yun might actually have a project worth tens of billions... and was even planning on entrusting it to Zhao Gang...

At least it was apparent, Lin Yun's net worth far surpassed these billionaires' wealth.

Indeed, one could discern this from the grandeur on display.

There were dozens of bodyguards, many of them armed, and the vehicles of many bodyguards were top-tier models like the Diling X9 and the Jianhu X9...

Which of the wealthy businessmen has put on such a display?

She thought back to her wedding, where her bridal car was a Diling X6, which had made her girlfriends green with envy... Now, it was just a laughable comparison!

Between fairy tales and reality, she had chosen reality.

However, now she discovered how ludicrous her choice of reality was.

This choice...

She had lost in both aspects, love and material possessions.

...

At the official building in Immortal Origin County, within an office...

"Dozens of bodyguards? Many are armed? Twenty luxury vehicles? The total value of all of this must be at least above 70 million?"

A middle-aged man sat in his chair, taking a deep breath after hearing the report on the other side of the phone.

"I see." After a moment, the middle-aged man slowly nodded and murmured.

"By the way, help me look into that Gold Sword Security Company he mentioned." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said.

After speaking a few more sentences, the middle-aged man hung up the phone.

His right index finger started to tap on the table habitually, a sign he was deep in thought.

After a moment, he let out a small sigh: "I did not expect that immortality Origin County has such a huge dragon hiding, and this dragon's family earns a living by selling vegetables..."

Who would have thought of such a situation?

Wealthy families would not bother themselves with petty things like selling vegetables, not to mention selling them out of a tricycle...

Moreover, this wealthy family within Immortal Origin county, wasn't ordinary wealthy, but rather worth a minimum of tens of billions.

This middle-aged man was Secretary Zhu, the highest-ranking official in Immortal Origin County, who Lin Yun had met at the Wangxian Tower.

These past few days, he had learnt about Lin Yun's family situation and understood why Lin Yun was so hostile towards them.

It wasn't because they had meddled with their wine, even though that bottle of wine was worth over 10 million.

The reason lied in his order to ban the tricycles.

The order to ban tricycles altogether was his directive, which he saw as being an excellent public relations project to boost his political achievement.

Much of the ordinary folk relied on tricycles for transportation, the rich, however, who relied on them?

The streets were spacious, allowing cars to glide swiftly.

Since then, there wasn't a single tricycle shadow that could be seen in Immortal Origin County town, only cars.

No matter if officials from higher up came to inspect, or wealthy individuals of Immortal Origin County, this all signaled a good change.

Out of town businessmen who came to inspect would have a favorable impression of Immortal Origin County.

A complete ban on tricycles could potentially trigger dissent among the masses... but the common people, no matter how numerous, how much capability did they have?

During this time, he guided the armed forces, conducted several anti-riot drills, and riot control vehicles paraded on the streets.

Sure enough, the originally intense voices, one by one, weakened.

Presently, this project was approaching an end.

Though pedestrians in Immortal Origin County Town were much fewer now, which might affect its economy.

However, what did this have to do with him?

All he needed was a good facade.

Anyways, in a few years, he was going to be transferred.

By then, whatever the condition of Immortal Origin County would be, it wouldn't be his concern anymore.

Except, what he hadn't foreseen, was what he thought as a minor issue, seemed to have provoked a formidable dragon.

At the moment, he was speechless.

At the same time, he regretted it.

If he had known that Immortal Origin County had such a dragon, he wouldn't have issued the order to ban tricycles. He felt that after Lin Yun returned, he could still flatter him and given Lin Yun's connections with the businessmen at Wangxian Tower, just letting Lin Yun invest in Immortal Origin County, would likely trigger the other businessmen to follow suit.

That way, wouldn't political achievements naturally follow?

Unlike the businessmen at Wangxian Tower, Immortal Origin County was Lin Yun's hometown. Persuading Lin Yun to invest in Immortal Origin County shouldn't be difficult.

In contrast, what was the significance of his political achievement for the tricycle ban in Immortal Origin County?

"Secretary, if not, how about we repeal the ban on tricycles in our county?" Secretary Zhu's personal secretary, a young man standing behind him, asked with some hesitation.

He was Secretary Zhu's personal secretary, and was privy to many matters concerning Secretary Zhu. He had been present during the incident at the Wangxian Tower and he had clearly heard the phone conversation just now, hence, he could guess the situation Secretary Zhu is currently facing.

"No need. If I retract my order, it will only make me seem weak in his eyes. Although this order affects many people and things in Immortal Origins County, fundamentally, I issued this order in the hopes of improving Immortal Origin County," Secretary Zhu shook his head and said casually.

"Even if there is something wrong with this order, it still requires the other party to convince me. If I'm wrong, I'll change. I am not rigid. In doing so, doesn't this further demonstrate his abilities?" Secretary Zhu continued after a pause.

Even though he was not yet forty, he had already assumed such a high-ranking position, a rarity nationwide. How could he not have some dealing tactics?

Lin Yun was young and, presumably, not too difficult to deal with.

He already had a strategy in his mind.

Being a fair and impartial official should not be a source of resentment.

All he needed to do was to show that everything he does is for the development of Immortal Origin County.

"The Secretary really thinks things through..." Hearing Secretary Zhu's words, the secretary's eyes lit up with admiration.

At this moment, he was genuinely awestruck by Secretary Zhu.

Any normal person in Secretary Zhu's position who encountered such a situation would probably change their commands at the drop of a hat, just to flatter Lin Yun.

After all, Lin Yun's power was formidable. As long as Secretary Zhu could win over Lin Yun, he would ascend in his career quickly.

However, against the odds, Secretary Zhu adopted a contrary approach.

This strategy was much more ingenious and could also build a strong public image.

No wonder Secretary Zhu had managed to rise to such a high rank at such a young age.

"I wonder if the mention of that multi-billion Yuan project is true or not, and where they plan to invest. If they plan to invest all in Immortal Origin County..." Secretary Zhu's right forefinger tapped on the table, as he had started pondering over another matter.

Billions! If it is all invested in Immortal Origin County, it would definitely bring earth-shaking changes to the county and it would undoubtedly be a mammoth political achievement.
