ten years

“Is that so? For the second song, which one are you planning to put on the shelves?”

Shen Rou became interested upon hearing this. She had listened to all 11 of her songs. While all of them were very pleasant to listen to, there were still some that stood out among the 11.

Therefore,

she was very curious about the second song Zhang Lan chose.

“For the second song, I chose "ten years".”

Zhang Lan said calmly. This song was her favorite besides "invisible wings".

"invisible wings" carried her personal emotions; she felt as if the song was singing about herself.

But "ten years" could definitely be called a golden hit.

Therefore,

she planned to directly use this song to further increase the impact of the songs.

“"ten years"?”

Shen Rou nodded upon hearing this. She also really liked this song and was very confident in it.

"invisible wings" had already reached the number one spot on the new song chart, so "ten years" would definitely have no problem either.

The only thing that couldn't be determined was when "ten years" would be released.

Would "ten years" come from behind to claim the number one spot on the new song chart, or would "invisible wings" maintain its position and continue to hold the number one spot on the new song chart?

However, this was not very important. No matter which song claimed the number one spot on the new song chart, it would not affect them in any way.

After all, both of these songs came from their hands.

“Alright, we've visited the orphanage, so it's time for us to go out and wander around. I heard that President Chen's Corner Pet Park has already opened, let's go take a look.”

Zhang Lan intimately linked arms with Shen Rou.

“Mm!”

Shen Rou looked at the well-behaved children in the classroom and nodded slightly.

Since the orphanage received funding from President Chen, life at the orphanage had gotten better and better, and the children seemed much more lively and cheerful than before.

This was a scene she could only see in her dreams before, but everything changed after she met President Chen.

Not only did the orphanage change, but her own life also underwent tremendous changes.

The two of them walked out of the orphanage together.

“Oh right, should we call Yang Yaoyao and Liu Weiwei to go to the Pet Park with us?”

“Liu Weiwei has already gone home. Yang Yaoyao went to the Pet Park with her family on the second day of the holiday.”

“Oh, then it'll just be the two of us.”

………………..

Dahe Town,

Wang Xilong returned home and told his family about what happened today.

“Dad, did you meet a swindler? The orchards on that mountain have yielded nothing, so why would anyone invest in and contract that area? Even if someone wanted to contract an orchard, they would choose one with a relatively flat terrain, right?”

Wang Siyu listened to her father's words and instinctively felt that it didn't make sense.

A disaster-stricken orchard, coupled with its extremely poor geographical location, why would anyone invest there?

This simply didn't make sense!

“I think that young boss is very honest. He even gave me two boxes of cigarettes, and these cigarettes aren't cheap.”

Wang Xilong said, taking out two boxes of cigarettes from his pocket and shaking them in the air.

Wang Siyu helplessly rubbed her forehead. If it truly was a swindler, why would he care about one or two boxes of cigarettes? There must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

The benefits behind it would definitely be countless times higher than those two boxes of cigarettes.

Seeing her father's brainwashed appearance, she patiently said,

“Dad, no matter what, no matter how that person contacts you, as long as he asks you for money, or asks you to pay money, just refuse all of it.”

“Don't worry, your dad isn't that foolish. The day after tomorrow, that young boss will contact me to discuss the land contract. For contracting land, he's the one giving us money, so why would I pay money out?”

Wang Xilong said carelessly, looking very confident.

Seeing this, Wang Siyu felt a little worried. After thinking for a moment, she finally made a decision.

“Dad, how about this, as long as that person contacts you to discuss the land contract, I'll go with you.”

Seeing her father's confident demeanor, she knew she couldn't persuade him.

To prevent her father from being deceived, she decided it would be safer to go and see for herself.

After all, swindlers have many tricks. Her father might be able to avoid paying money, but if they set up some trap contracts, she didn't think her father could handle it.

“Didn't you say you were going back to the company tomorrow?”

Wang Xilong looked at his daughter in confusion.

“Oh, I told my company's leader that I'd be back two days later.”

Wang Siyu sighed inwardly. Her plan was to leave tomorrow and start work the day after.

However, she was a little worried about her father, and felt it would be better to stay home for two more days. If her father was really deceived, this home would not be peaceful.

“Is that so? Alright.”

Wang Xilong smiled and nodded upon hearing his daughter's words.

He was naturally willing for his daughter to stay a few more days.

“Dinner's ready.”

Just as the two finished talking, a woman's voice came from outside the kitchen.

Wang Xilong: Alright, wife.

Wang Siyu: Got it, Mom.

…………..

The next day,

At eight in the morning,

Chen Mo finished breakfast and left home directly, shaking his head helplessly outside.

This morning, he had mentioned to his parents that a 'friend' wanted to invest in agricultural industries in Dahe Town, hoping they could go and help. The salary and benefits would definitely be higher than their current ones.

However, no matter how he tried to persuade them or what he promised,

his parents all shook their heads and refused.

They all said, who knows how long a newly established industry can last? If they were to give up their iron rice bowls, which they had worked for many years, and then the new industry failed after half a year,

wouldn't they be unemployed?

Regarding this,

he also understood his parents' concerns, and later gave up the idea of continuing to persuade them.

No matter what, the agricultural industry had already been established here.

He had plenty of time to persuade them, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Of course, even if he was in a hurry, it wouldn't do any good.

Sigh!

He sighed softly and walked downstairs.

Last night, he had already had a brief phone call with Qin Hong, who said he had already bought a train ticket to come over last night and would arrive around eight in the morning.

So he needed to drive to pick him up.

After meeting Qin Hong, he had many things to explain.

The first point was that he couldn't reveal his identity here; no one could know.

At least for now, he didn't want his identity exposed. If he could keep a low profile, then he should keep a low profile.

………

Train station,

Qin Hong walked slowly, carrying a suitcase.

He looked around, then took out his phone. This was his first time here, so he still needed to confirm the exact location with President Chen.

The call connected.

After a moment,

Qin Hong put down his phone and looked at the vehicles outside the station. He quickly identified a car and walked quickly towards it.

“Qin Hong?”

Chen Mo leaned back in the front of the car, watching a man pulling a suitcase walk quickly towards him, and spoke in a calm tone.
