"Young friend, I’ll be leaving this afternoon, I have quite a bit of luggage left in another place that I need to bring over."
Just as Chen Yang put down his phone, Taoist Liu said this to him.
Chen Yang’s expression shifted slightly and said, "Is it far? If it’s convenient, I can give you a ride."
Taoist Liu needs to pick up his luggage, which is normal. After what happened this morning, Chen Yang was much more reassured about him.
He was just a bit worried that the Gu Family might give him trouble, so he specifically offered to give him a lift.
Chen Yang thought Taoist Liu would agree, but surprisingly, he shook his head and refused.
"It’s fine, the trip isn’t far, just not very convenient," said Taoist Liu.
"What about your safety? Aren’t you worried the Gu Family might co after you again?" Chen Yang asked.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Liu kept smiling as if he already had a plan: "That’s not a worry. If you’re concerned, Chen Yang, just let Wang Cai accompany , with him there, I’ll feel a bit safer, and I’ll have so company along the way."
Chen Yang paused for a mont, then couldn’t help but laugh.
This guy, no wonder he didn’t let give him a ride.
Seems like he’s had his eyes on Wang Cai for a while.
But that works too.
Wang Cai is quite capable, guiding him ensures his safety, saving a trip.
"Alright, then let Wang Cai accompany you, how long do you think you’ll be gone?" Chen Yang agreed without much thought.
Then he called Wang Cai over.
"At most three days, at the shortest, I’ll be back the day after tomorrow," Taoist Liu thought for a mont and said.
Three days, not too long, not too short.
Chen Yang thought about it briefly and agreed.
"Alright, go ahead, by the ti you return, the Taoist temple should be taking shape."
"Yes, yes, see you later, young friend Chen Yang."
Taoist Liu smiled and cupped his fists to Chen Yang, then left with Wang Cai.
Wang Cai was quite reluctant to follow Taoist Liu, initially refused to go with him.
Ultimately, it was only after Chen Yang repeatedly requested that it agreed to tag along, reluctantly setting off with Taoist Liu.
Watching the man and the dog leave the village, Chen Yang wasn’t too worried.
Wang Cai’s nose and abilities should ensure that everything goes smoothly.
He really didn’t need to worry.
Ring, ring, ring...
Just as Taoist Liu and Wang Cai left, the phone in Chen Yang’s pocket rang.
Chen Yang initially thought it was Li Han calling about the Taoist temple.
But after checking the phone, he discovered it was an unfamiliar number.
He hesitated briefly before answering it.
"Hello, is this Mr. Chen Yang, Mr. Chen?"
As soon as the call connected, the voice on the other end asked directly.
"I am Chen Yang." Chen Yang confird.
"Oh, hello Mr. Chen. I’m the general manager of the tour company, calling to discuss cooperation between your scenic area and us. Are you available now? I’d like to et and talk with you."
Upon hearing it was indeed Chen Yang, the caller’s tone beca serious and sincere.
Even without eting in person, he felt much better about it.
"Ah, so you’re from the tour company, I’m available now," Chen Yang replied.
"That’s great, Mr. Chen. We plan to visit your company directly for negotiations, does that suit you? Or shall we arrange a different location?" The manager said politely.
If they ca to the village, that would be ideal, as Chen Yang was not keen on traveling.
But after thinking, he decided to et in the county town.
"Let’s et in the county town, choose a place and I’ll head over now." Chen Yang said.
"Okay, I’ll select a location and send it to your phone shortly. Is that okay?"
"Alright."
"Okay, see you shortly, Mr. Chen."
"Yes." Chen Yang agreed, then hung up the phone and drove out of the village.
About half an hour later, he arrived in the county town.
Checking his phone, he saw the location chosen was the county’s most upscale café.
Without much thought, Chen Yang opened the navigation app and drove there.
Upon arriving at the café, he quickly t the general manager of the tour company, along with two other relevant personnel.
The company was small but showed full sincerity, and their treatnt of Chen Yang was very courteous.
Thus, both parties were quite pleased with the conversation.
Chen Yang had a straightforward mindset, since it was Li Han’s friend’s company, if they could cooperate, they would.
The profit-sharing would be discussed mutually, and the setup fees would be waived.
Considering it was a small company and Liuyang River Village’s scenic area was quite large, joining such a platform deserved such treatnt.
And the other party was filled with sincerity.
Without any pretense, they laid out their intentions right from the start.
"Mr. Chen, I know your scenic area is very popular. Joining our platform would indeed help us. When we ca, the chairman already agreed, if you join us, we’ll need only ten percent of the profits and there’ll be no setup or operational fees."
"Moreover, for three consecutive years, our hopage’s primary recomndation will certainly be your scenic area. Does this sound agreeable?"
With full sincerity, the general manager presented highly attractive terms right off the bat.
The low profit-sharing and the promise of three years of hopage recomndations were indeed great offers for the scenic area.
Given such sincere terms, Chen Yang naturally felt it inappropriate to demand more. He promptly agreed.
"Alright, we’ll do it as you proposed."
Upon Chen Yang’s agreent, the general manager was overjoyed and even got up excitedly to shake hands with Chen Yang, repeatedly expressing thanks.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen! Here’s to a pleasant collaboration."
"Yes, pleasant collaboration."
...
Having discussed the main points, neither hurried away, but instead talked about the cooperation’s details.
There weren’t many details, just agreeing on contract signing tis and when their company would visit Liuyang River Village for a shoot.
These were minor matters that were quickly settled.
"Mr. Chen Yang, it’s truly a pleasure working with you. It’s already noon; why don’t I treat you to lunch as thanks?" The manager kindly invited.
Chen Yang thought for a mont, then smiled and shook his head.
"Manager, let’s save the al for another ti. Once you’ve finished shooting and we’ve signed the contract, we can celebrate together. I have a little business to take care of today." Chen Yang said, standing up.
"Oh, you have matters to attend to, Mr. Chen. Alright, we’ll celebrate together next ti."
Seeing Chen Yang had tasks to handle, the manager didn’t insist further.
After a few words, they left the café together.
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Yang was the first to leave, driving his van away.
Since it was midday, it was indeed ti to find sowhere to eat.
The main reason for declining the manager’s invitation was that he hadn’t visited the county town in a while and wondered how Tan Jing was doing recently.
Therefore, he decided to invite her out for lunch instead.
After leaving the café, he drove to near Tan Jing’s police station, finding a restaurant with decent prices.
After booking a table, he took out his phone and dialed Tan Jing’s number.
