Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Xie Yuchen sat in the back seat, slightly closed his eyes, and rested quietly. Fatty Wang had been talking nonstop for several hours, and finally felt a little tired at this moment. He slowly leaned back in his seat, and soon he began to snore slightly.

Fatty Wang was immersed in a sweet dream. Suddenly, he felt as if his feet were stepping on empty air and he woke up with a start.

"ah!!!"

Fatty Wang's screams resounded throughout the carriage. Xie Yuchen frowned and turned to look at him. Fatty Wang looked terrified, as if he had seen something extremely scary, but there was nothing in front of him except the driver.

"Oh my god! No way, brother, you scared me so much! Fortunately, my heart is still healthy. If someone with heart disease was scared by you like this, he would be sent directly to the ICU or the morgue!" Fatty Wang looked at the innocent driver in front of him with lingering fear and almost had a heart attack.

It turned out that they had arrived at the gate of Banai Village. After stopping the car, the driver patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder. Just as Fatty Wang was about to speak, he woke up slowly and no one knew what he was dreaming about. When he saw him, he screamed.

The driver also felt that he was innocent. He hadn't done anything yet, but the fat man started to scream when he saw him. The driver was almost scared by Wang's behavior and thought that he was too ugly and made the man cry.

"Young Master, we're here." The driver glanced at Fatty Wang, then walked around to Xie Yuchen and opened the car door.

After getting off the car, Xie Yuchen stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the people in the village.

"The houses and environment here are really nice, but why is there no village party secretary?" Xie Yuchen whispered in the ear of his personal butler.

"Young master, this is the mountain, not a rural area or a city. How could those delicate people be willing to come here and be a small village party secretary?" the housekeeper explained softly.

Xie Yuchen nodded to show his understanding, but still asked with some confusion: "Then why do people here look so poor?"

"Because the people in this village are all Yao people, and the Yao people have unique cultural traditions, their lifestyle is relatively simple, and they don't pay much attention to material enjoyment. In addition, due to inconvenient transportation and lack of information, the economic development here is relatively backward, and the villagers' income level is not high." The housekeeper explained patiently.

After listening to this, Xie Yuchen nodded thoughtfully, and secretly sighed in his heart: It seems that this is really an isolated place! But it’s good this way. No matter what they do here, they can be shut up by spending some money. Moreover, in such an undeveloped place, perhaps he can build a tourist attraction here and use their houses as the attraction features.

Maybe he could ask the company's appraisers to come here, or maybe he could develop this place into a natural tourist attraction. He could develop this place while preserving the Yao ethnic group's unique clothing, food, and house architecture. The more Xie Yuchen thought about it, the more he thought this idea was feasible, so he immediately ordered his men around him: "Contact the company immediately and ask them to send an appraiser to inspect the situation here as soon as possible."

Wang Pangzi, who was standing by, couldn't help but admire Xie Yuchen after hearing his words. Just by taking a look at the village, Xie Yuchen was able to come up with such a business idea that was sure to make money. Such a business mind was really amazing. No wonder people in Yanjing were saying that the young master of the Hua family was the reincarnation of the God of Wealth.

Fatty Wang sighed inwardly, and at the same time, he thought of the troublesome prodigal son Wu Xie. He thought to himself, if Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen were compared, there is a world of difference between them. In the words of the ancients, it can be said that "comparing goods will lead to throwing them away; comparing people will make people angry to death."

Just as Fatty Wang was sighing, he suddenly heard a familiar shout from behind him. He turned around and saw Wu Xie running towards them, waving his hands.

"Naive!" Fatty Wang called out Wu Xie's name happily.

Xie Yuchen glanced at Wu Xie who was jogging over, then nodded to him, and turned to continue discussing with the housekeeper how to develop the village as much as possible without destroying the beautiful environment here, while leading the villagers to become rich together.

When Wu Xie and Fatty Wang met, Fatty Wang thought of the words Wu Xie had said to provoke him before, and immediately shouted, "Okay, Tian Zhen, you're finally here. Let me tell you, if you dare to say something to provoke me again, be careful or I'll beat you up!"

Wu Xie smiled and said, "Hey, Fatty, you are a magnanimous person, don't bother with me."

The two of them started arguing again, and it was very lively with them going back and forth.

When Xie Yuchen had almost finished discussing with the housekeeper, he turned around and saw Fatty Wang and Wu Xie pushing each other like children fighting, muttering to themselves.

Xie Yuchen shook his head helplessly, walked up to the two men, and shouted, "Alright! You guys are fighting like two immature kids in front of someone else's village. Don't you feel ashamed? There are so many people around!"

When Wu Xie and Fatty Wang heard Xie Yuchen's voice, they immediately stopped what they were doing and stood there obediently with their heads down, like children who had done something wrong.

Xie Yuchen looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing. He said, "Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful. You are so grown up, but you are still playing childish tricks. Let's go into the village and take a look."

As he said that, he took the lead and walked into the village. Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked at each other and quickly followed Xie Yuchen's footsteps.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang followed Xie Yuchen on the way to where they were going to live, and they kept poking and pushing each other from time to time.

Xie Yuchen's senses were not only extremely sharp, but his ears were also equally sharp. The movements of the two people behind him did not escape his ears. The veins on Xie Yuchen's forehead bulged, and it seemed that he was about to turn around and give each of the two people behind him a chestnut.

"Hehehe" Fatty Wang scratched his head and winked at Wu Xie with a smile.

"What are you doing?!" Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang with a puzzled look.

"Shh... don't talk. Don't you notice that Huaer Ye seems angry?" Fatty Wang poked Wu Xie with his finger, then raised his chin towards Xie Yuchen in front of him.

Wu Xie followed Fatty Wang's line of sight and saw Xie Yuchen's clenched fist.

"Ah, it seems like he's really angry." Wu Xie said in a low voice.

"What should we do? Should we go and apologize?" Fatty Wang asked nervously.

"Apologize? Why should we apologize? We didn't do anything wrong." Wu Xie said indifferently.

"But Grandpa Huaer seems very unhappy." Fatty Wang said with a frown.

"So what? What does it have to do with us if he's unhappy?" Wu Xie said nonchalantly.

"But..." Fatty Wang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wu Xie.

"Okay, stop talking and let's go." Wu Xie pulled Fatty Wang and continued walking forward.

Xie Yuchen became even more angry when he heard the conversation between the two people behind him. He felt that he had unnecessary to accompany Wu Xie on this trip. He had come here with good intentions, but now they were talking about him behind his back. So, he stopped and turned to look at Wu Xie and Fatty Wang.

"You two, are you done yet? You've been chattering and fighting all the way. Can you be a little quieter?" Xie Yuchen said coldly with a dark face.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were startled by Xie Yuchen's sudden questioning. Neither of them dared to speak, but just lowered their heads like children who had made a mistake.

"If you can't change it, I can give the things to you, Wu Xie. Just pay the bill to me. I will take my people and leave here immediately!" Xie Yuchen continued.

"Hua'er Ye, please don't do that! We will definitely not make such a mistake again!" Fatty Wang stopped, stood straight, and answered seriously.

"Xiaohua! Don't! If you leave, I will be in a mess!" Wu Xie seemed to be unaware of something and still had a playful smile on his face.

Xie Yuchen glared at Wu Xie, then turned around and continued walking forward. Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked at each other, and Fatty Wang sighed helplessly.

"Oh, it seems I can't joke around so easily in the future." Wu Xie said to himself.

"Wu Xie, Huaer Ye's status is different from ours. His willingness to help you is something that others can't even ask for. You can't take it for granted that Huaer Ye has to help you." Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie seriously and said slowly.

"I understand. I will pay attention next time." Wu Xie said seriously.

"You, forget it. You should pay attention to Huaerye's attitude in the future." Fatty Wang nodded in agreement.

Just like that, Wu Xie and Fatty followed Xie Yuchen silently, and no one spoke again. It was not until they reached the place where they were going to live that they broke the awkward silence.
