The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 763 Investment

Ling Feng entered the elevator, and the moment the doors closed, the laughter of the girls in the room immediately came through!

He rolled his eyes, knowing it would turn out this way!

Ling Yao getting angry, admitting defeat, in the eyes of the girls, indeed, was a very amusing event.

Ling Feng didn’t mind. He thought to himself that they were all his own people. If they want to laugh, let them laugh. He’s a big man; what’s there to fear?

As he took the elevator down, he saw that the lobby had suddenly filled with more people. Some were wearing work clothes and holding boxes in their hands, some were transporting things from outside, and there was a young man in a black suit giving commands. Ling Feng approached and asked, "What’s this all about?"

"Manager Ling, they are from the etiquette company, here to set up the venue!" the man in the black suit explained,

Ling Feng looked at him, "And you?"

"I’m the office director of our company. My name is Li Chen, and I’m in charge of managing today’s ceremony!"

"Oh, got it. Thanks for the hard work!"

Ling Feng suddenly realized and patted Li Chen on the shoulder.

Li Chen, overwhelmed by the unexpected attention, quickly responded with a smile, "Not at all, not at all, it’s all part of my job!"

Exiting the building, the sunshine was just perfect. Ling Feng stood at the entrance and suddenly started to space out, unsure of what to do.

He wasn’t allowed upstairs, and downstairs was busy with preparations, while the ceremony wouldn’t start until noon. So, what could he do now?

As he was feeling downcast, a girl walked over from the parking lot in an all-black attire, her small leather shoes clacking against the marble floor.

Seeing that the person was Mo Lan, Ling Feng asked with a smile, "You’re here too?"

"Yes, Sister Zhou Yi asked me to come and try on the ceremonial dress. What are you doing here?" Mo Lan inquired.

Ling Feng felt a bit embarrassed, "Nothing, just soaking up some sun."

A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Lan’s eyes, but she didn’t say much, merely nodded and continued inside.

Ling Feng called from behind, "By the way, has Old Wang arrived?"

"He and Mr. Chu came yesterday. They are at Di Hao Hotel," Mo Lan called back as she turned her head.

"Alright, got it."

Ling Feng nodded and, watching Mo Lan go inside, took out his phone to call Wang Laogen.

"Old Wang, have you had breakfast?"

"Hm? Why are you asking me this so early in the morning? What do you mean?" Wang Laogen’s voice carried a hint of confusion.

Ling Feng chuckled, "No special meaning. I just want to come over and snag a meal!"

"Uh..."

Wang Laogen was left speechless, but still said, "Okay, come on over, I’m in room 888 at Di Hao."

"Great!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Feng looked up at the upper floors, "If you won’t include me, I’ve got someone else to meet, off I go!"

He then went to the parking lot, hopped into his Hummer, and drove away.

...

...

Di Hao Hotel.

As Ling Feng entered the lobby, he saw Li Fei’er and a group of people walking out.

They were Li Yun’er and her companions.

Meeting face to face, a flicker of panic crossed Li Fei’er’s eyes. She lowered her voice and asked, "Uncle, you’re not here to settle the score with my cousin, are you?"

"No, I’m here to see Old Wang."

Ling Feng glanced at Li Yun’er, noticing her head bowed, staring at the tips of her shoes, not daring to look up. He then smiled and said to Li Fei’er, "You should take them away, we’ll talk later."

"Oh."

Li Fei’er sighed with relief upon hearing that and quickly led Li Yun’er and the others away.

Watching their backs as they left the hotel, Ling Feng shook his head and went straight to the elevator.

After reaching the eighth floor, he made his way to room 888. Ling Feng pushed the door open and entered.

Several people were inside: Wang Laogen, Chu Nan, Zhang He, and Chu Xing were all there.

Seeing everyone gathered together, Ling Feng was taken aback, "Why are you all here?"

"I heard you were scrounging for a meal, so I came to see how you had managed to sink to this level overnight. Has no one been feeding you?" Zhang He asked with a smile.

Ling Feng glared at him, "Don’t talk nonsense, I’m just bored!"

Zhang He chuckled, but didn’t say much else.

Ling Feng pulled over a chair to sit down and looked at Wang Laogen and Chu Nan, "Did you guys come here yesterday? What brought you here so early?"

"Scouting."

The two elders said simultaneously.

"Scouting what?" Ling Feng was astonished.

"Ling Corporation suddenly emerged out of nowhere, and we two oldies didn’t get the news. Now, we’re rushing to catch the last bus, so we want to see if there’s anywhere worth investing in!" Chu Nan explained.

"Old man, you’re also joining Ling Corporation?" Ling Feng asked.

Chu Nan smiled, turned to Chu Xing, and said, "Show him the documents!"

"Yes."

Although Chu Xing usually acted laid-back, he was extremely respectful in front of Chu Nan, maintaining a serious face, not daring to smile as he quickly brought a document to Ling Feng.

Receiving it, Ling Feng saw it was filled with spreadsheets, listing many local businesses of various sizes, including malls, hotels, and chain supermarkets.

After looking through them, Ling Feng raised his head, "What’s this for?"

"Places of investment value. I had Chu Xing send people to inquire, and guess what we found?" Chu Nan asked.

Ling Feng clueless, "What?"

"Some chain hotels have already been bought up!"

"And supermarkets too, the ones with even a hint of scale, have been snapped up by others. The other party doesn’t haggle—if the owners don’t want to sell, they’ll smash them with high prices, two to three times the asking price, just to secure the shops!" Chu Xing explained.

"..."

Ling Feng, with a look of astonishment on his face, "What’s going on, have they gone mad? Too much money to spend?"

"You’re wrong there!"

Wang Laogen shook his head, "Chu Nan and I did some digging and found that these are various financial groups with mysterious backgrounds. We still don’t know who’s pulling the strings, but it’s clear that with the establishment of Ling Corporation, some want to jump on the bandwagon!"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng, clueless about business, failed to understand the benefits of crazily buying up shops and thus asked, "What about you guys? After scouting, are there even any shops left to buy?"

"How could that be?"

Wang Laogen’s eyebrows twitched, and he chuckled, "We’re not interested in those little shops, they don’t mean much. If we’re going to do it, we’re going big!"

"What do you mean by big?" Ling Feng inquired.

"Chu Nan, you tell me?"

Wang Laogen turned to look at Chu Nan.

"You go ahead; it’s all the same who says it!" Chu Nan replied.

Wang Laogen, "Still, you should talk. You’ve put in more money."

"No need. You’re in charge of the negotiations and management; it’s fine if you speak..."

Watching from the side, Ling Feng nearly burst a blood vessel!

Unable to take it anymore, he slammed the table, "Can you just get to the point? If you keep this up, don’t bother attending the opening ceremony this afternoon!"

Seeing him genuinely upset, Wang Laogen chuckled, "Young man, you’re still so hot-tempered, haven’t learned to control it at all!"

Seeing Ling Feng’s menacing gaze, he quickly added, "Let me tell you, we’ve snatched up a few parcels of land, all in the suburbs—wasteland. We’re planning to develop real estate there in a bit!"

"Here in our place?"

Ling Feng was startled, "Stop kidding, this place doesn’t even count as a fifth-tier city, and I think the housing prices have never gone over three thousand, right? Have you guys got so much money you don’t know how to spend it?"
