However, under pressure, Liu Dagu had no choice but to accept such an arrangement.

The person taking over as the number one leader in Wujiang is now one of Tang Yumeng's confidants, named Wu Sangui.

That's right, it's the same name as the Qing Dynasty prince Wu Sangui. However, this person is very shrewd and capable. He is Tang Yumeng's trusted assistant. In the few months since Wu Sangui came to power, the people in Wujiang have been mostly purged. Those who should be arrested were arrested, and those who should be judged were judged.

Tang Yumeng promised Song Ming not to retaliate against his people, but he did not promise Liu Dagu to spare his.

Soon, Wujiang's forces were cleared out.

"Secretary Tang." Wu Sangui and a group of county committee members came out one after another.

"Hmm!" Tang Yumeng nodded, then said, "Not bad, it seems that your morale is quite high."

"That's right, the world is bright now." Wu Sangui said with a laugh, "Under the leadership of the central government, we can surely create a clear and transparent world, and definitely build an even more glorious and powerful China."

"Well said." Tang Yumeng nodded.

On the side, Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Sangui recognized Lin Chuan, or rather, all of Tang Yumeng's subordinates recognized Lin Chuan. Wu Sangui curiously asked, "Lin Chuan, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

"No." Lin Chuan nodded, and said, "I just think ideals are perfect, but reality is bony."

Wu Sangui was taken aback, then laughed, "Lin Chuan, are you a party member?"

"No!" Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Then you must trust the ruling ability of our party." Wu Sangui earnestly looked at Lin Chuan and said sincerely, "Believe that our party will definitely create a brand-new glory."

"Yes, I've always been very confident." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Alright, let's stop discussing these issues." Tang Yumeng laughed, "People should live more practically, talking endlessly is not as good as actually doing something."

"Right, the Xiaotang Town scenic area is very nice." Wu Sangui laughed, "I think it can be developed into a national 5A-level scenic spot. Secretary Tang, you must secure this spot for our Wujiang."

"Certainly." Tang Yumeng nodded, "This is indeed my duty."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Sangui nodded.

Afterwards, the group took the bus arranged by Wujiang straight to Xiaotang Town. After arriving in Xiaotang Town, the town committee secretary and others came out too, and on the road, many people held colorful flags and waved balloons to welcome them.

"Secretary Tang, look at how supportive the local people are of you." Wu Sangui said with a smile from the side.

Tang Yumeng remained silent.

Lin Chuan, however, chimed in at an inopportune time, "Aren't these people paid actors?"

Uh...

Everyone in the vehicle was dumbfounded.

What Lin Chuan said was actually a truth, considering such situations exist in many places. When higher-ups visit, the departments below quickly gather a bunch of paid actors to line the ways welcoming, chanting slogans loudly.

However, this time Tang Yumeng's visit was indeed genuinely welcomed by the local people at the scenic area's entrance. This scenic spot brought benefits to the local people, improving their living standards. Therefore, they truly loved and supported Tang Yumeng.

After getting off the bus, the group from the Zhu Corporation appeared, with Fujii Katsuyoshi and a team of Zhu Corporation staff present.

"Secretary Tang, long time no see." Fujii Katsuyoshi looked at Tang Yumeng with a smile.

"Mr. Fujii, indeed long time no see." Tang Yumeng did not lose any momentum, completely devoid of the bowing and scraping seen from officials elsewhere when meeting a Japanese investment team.

Fujii Katsuyoshi's lips curled into a wry smile, he turned to Lin Chuan and said, "Mr. Lin Chuan, I heard your influence in Japan is developing quite well."

"Uh..." Lin Chuan was stunned, not expecting Fujii Katsuyoshi to notice him. He smiled and said, "Mr. Fujii, my so-called influence isn't even enough to fill your teeth."

"There is an ancient Chinese saying, 'How can one allow others to snore beside their bed?'" Fujii Katsuyoshi said with a smile, "So I hope you pay attention, otherwise, if a conflict arises, Qingzi might not be able to protect you."

"Haha..." Lin Chuan burst into laughter, "Mr. Fujii, you're exaggerating. We're here today for the ribbon-cutting of your villa, not to discuss those complicated matters."

"Mr. Lin Chuan, if you could give me your territory in Fukuoka, I'm willing to exchange it for this resort scenic spot, how about that?" Fujii Katsuyoshi smiled as he looked at Lin Chuan.

This is a big temptation, considering the scenic spot has investments worth billions and future returns won't be small either.

However, Lin Chuan was not interested. He smiled, "Mr. Fujii, you overestimate me. I'm not much interested in these things. So just know that. But don't worry, I probably won't be interested in other places in Fukuoka either."

"Is that so?" Fujii Katsuyoshi was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "That's for the best."

"Mr. Fujii, let's focus on the main topic." Tang Yumeng timely interrupted their conversation and said with a smile, "You invited us this time for the grand opening of the Xiaotang Town resort, right?"

"Yes!" Fujii Katsuyoshi nodded slightly.

"Then let's start now," Tang Yumeng said with a cheerful smile.

"Please, come in." Fujii Katsuyoshi was a well-mannered person, and his manners came from the heart. It made people feel very comfortable.

Then, the group walked into the resort.

At the resort's entrance, more than a dozen electric tour carts were neatly lined up at the gate. Over ten drivers wore black uniforms, with resort badges pinned to their chests. Each had a solemn expression. They were all male drivers, each over 1.75 meters tall.

"The resort is quite large, everyone, let's take the carts for a tour," Fujii Katsuyoshi said with a smile.

Tang Yumeng and Fujii Katsuyoshi rode in one cart together, each cart could hold more than ten people. The carts were sightseeing vehicles, so they were mostly open without covers. There was a canopy on top to shield from the sun and rain.

Once everyone was aboard, four or five carts slowly started up and moved gently towards the deeper parts of the resort.

The resort, once planned out, looked quite good, with brick roads paved throughout. The air inside was excellent. The first area they came to was a nameless wild lake. The water in the lake appeared very clear and transparent. It made one feel very comfortable, with an urge to jump in for a bath.

"This is our first attraction, where guests on vacation can enjoy our fishing activities for free here." Fujii Katsuyoshi cheerfully explained to those on the cart, "The fish here are all wild and natural. We have personnel specifically assessing the fish in the lake. Once the fish fall below our standards, we purchase fry to add..."

Around this large expanse of lake, many pavilions were built, with beautiful netting beds installed inside. Those vacationing at the resort, if they wandered here, could also take a short nap or rest for a while in the netting.

In short, the air here was great, and the environment was absolutely first-rate.

Entering the resort, one could feel the fragrances of flowers and the sounds of birds. The cart slowly proceeded along the circular lake road. Very quickly, they reached the second attraction.

The second attraction was fenced in, housing over twenty horses. A vast lawn stretched along the lakeside.

"Each horse is worth over fifty thousand," Fujii Katsuyoshi said with a smile, "This is our resort's racetrack. It allows people to practice horseback riding, and even gallop across this vast lawn. How exhilarating is that?"

"Indeed, not bad," people on the side commented in praise.

The cart continued up the mountain road.

All along the way, various attractions appeared one after another, and at the mountain top, vendors had already settled in. Small and large shops adorned the mountain top, almost trimmed into a large amusement park. Various roller coasters, pirate ships...

At this time, it was not yet operational, and from the amusement park, workers could only be seen inspecting.

"This is the amusement park we've built," Fujii Katsuyoshi smiled, then said, "This amusement park, although not the largest in the nation, is indeed the largest in Jiang Province and integrates many functions."

"Mr. Fujii, you've always called this a resort village, may I ask..." Tang Yumeng began to say.

However, before Tang Yumeng could finish, Fujii Katsuyoshi smiled and said, "Secretary Tang, no rush, you'll soon discover."

Soon, the cart reached the mountain top.

"Please get off, everyone," Fujii Katsuyoshi said with a smile.

Immediately, the group disembarked.

Standing atop the mountain, overlooking the smaller mountains, they stood on the mountain top and looked down.

"Do you see it?" Fujii Katsuyoshi looked at them with a proud expression.

Everyone turned to look down the mountain.

They were immediately bewildered as they saw nothing at all. At this moment, Lin Chuan frowned and said, "Did you hide the entire resort village within the forest?"

"Yes!" Fujii Katsuyoshi nodded, "Lin Chuan, indeed, your keen eyesight saw through it at a glance."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked carefully.

Indeed, in the forest, they saw wooden-colored cabins, hidden within the trees, resembling large bird nests scattered in the grove.

At this moment, Fujii Katsuyoshi smiled and said, "Everyone, this is my design concept. Return to nature. Each one is crafted as a standalone villa, hidden in the forest. It looks just like bird nests. My design ethos is people and nature."

Wow...

The crowd erupted in amazement.

Immediately, the scene was filled with rounds of enthusiastic applause.

"Mr. Fujii, truly impressive."

"This design is simply a stroke of genius."

"Truly worthy of being from Zhu Corporation, one of the top ten companies worldwide. It's an eye-opening experience."
