"Did he tell you what to say, why he wanted to meet with me, did he mention anything?" Chen Yang thought for a moment and asked.

"It's about Liuhe Village, he said he wants to put past grievances behind and collaborate with you," Wang Qingyue answered.

Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh.

It sounds even better than singing.

Putting past grievances behind, collaborating, clearly it's because he sees the substantial benefits of Liuhe Village slipping away, and that's why he's considering this.

Otherwise, how could this happen?

"Chen Yang, do you want to go? If you want, I'll accompany you. If not, I'll reject him now," Wang Qingyue asked.

Chen Yang didn't rush to answer but thoughtfully pondered for a moment.

After thinking it through, he decided to go.

He's not going to collaborate with Gu Xuanyu, but rather to see what tricks this guy can pull off.

And also to see how he plans to put past grievances behind.

"Let's go, since we've already been invited, it would be rude not to show up," Chen Yang said with a smile.

Wang Qingyue smiled upon hearing this and then said, "Alright, I'll accompany you, I'm at the restaurant now, come pick me up."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Chen Yang nodded in agreement, then hung up the phone, and drove off in his van.

Over half an hour later, he arrived at Wang Qingyue's family restaurant.

Wang Qingyue estimated Chen Yang was arriving soon, so she had already gone downstairs and was waiting at the entrance.

Seeing Chen Yang's car arrive, she immediately opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"You took your sweet time today; I've been waiting for over ten minutes,"

Wang Qingyue complained as soon as she got in.

Chen Yang laughed, "I didn't know you were waiting downstairs, thought there was still some time before lunch, so I drove a bit slower."

"Alright, should we go now or wait a bit longer?" Wang Qingyue skipped over the issue of being early or late and got straight to the matter at hand.

Chen Yang glanced at the time and found it was already twelve o'clock.

"Let's go now, give me the location,"

Chen Yang said.

"Okay."

Wang Qingyue nodded and then helped Chen Yang set up the navigation.

Chen Yang glanced at the navigation and found the destination was that high-end hotel Gao Ya bought.

He'd been there several times, so he didn't follow the navigation.

He took a shortcut, and within ten minutes, they arrived at the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, Chen Yang parked in the parking lot.

Then he and Wang Qingyue took the elevator upstairs.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator on the second floor, a waiter approached them.

"Are you Mr. Chen Yang and Ms. Wang Qingyue?"

The waiter asked respectfully.

Chen Yang glanced at the waiter and then nodded, "Yes, that's us."

Upon hearing they were indeed Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue, the waiter's respectful expression intensified.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Wang, Young Master Gu has been waiting for you both in the private room for quite some time, please follow me," the waiter gestured towards the direction of the second-floor hall.

Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue nodded and followed the waiter towards the hall.

The two followed the waiter through the second-floor hall of the hotel, eventually stopping in front of a luxurious private room.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Wang, Young Master Gu has been waiting inside for quite some time, please come in," the waiter stood at the door and politely gestured towards the inside of the private room.

Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue again glanced at the waiters, then nodded slightly.

After that, they pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as they entered, Chen Yang saw two figures seated inside the luxurious private room.

One was the old rival, Gu Xuanyu.

Besides Gu Xuanyu, there was another unfamiliar man.

The man looked quite good, a typical handsome young man.

However, this wasn't the most important thing; the main focus was that he also had an extraordinary presence.

Although his face appeared very amicable, the aura he exuded was even stronger than Gu Xuanyu's.

One look and it's clear this guy isn't someone to be trifled with.

"Chen Yang, you've arrived."

Chen Yang scanned the private room, and naturally, Gu Xuanyu also saw him.

Seeing Chen Yang, Gu Xuanyu made a rather indifferent comment.

Hearing this, Chen Yang didn't respond, and directly walked towards the table with Wang Qingyue.

Gu Xuanyu saw Chen Yang ignoring him but wasn't embarrassed; he smiled and gestured towards the seat closest to Chen Yang.

"Since you're here, you're a guest. Please have a seat."

Gu Xuanyu said with a smile.

Chen Yang wasn't polite and sat down immediately.

Wang Qingyue did the same, sitting beside Chen Yang.

"Murong, let me introduce you to Chen Yang, who I specifically mentioned to you. Chen Yang currently controls the land of Liuhe Village, as well as the surrounding villages,"

After Chen Yang sat down, Gu Xuanyu immediately turned to the stranger in the room, introducing Chen Yang.

The man addressed as Murong studied Chen Yang for a moment, then said with a smile, "Since everyone's here, let's bring out the dishes first. Let's eat and drink, then we can discuss the matter thoroughly."

"Alright."

Gu Xuanyu seemed to greatly respect Murong, promptly agreeing and preparing to call the waiter to serve the dishes.

But at this moment, Chen Yang spoke.

"No need to serve dishes; I came today just to see what you want to collaborate on. Just speak directly, I have things to attend to this afternoon and can't stay long," Chen Yang said bluntly.

Chen Yang's words changed the expressions on both Gu Xuanyu and Murong's faces visibly.

They seemed very displeased with Chen Yang's actions, but exchanged glances and Gu Xuanyu didn't call for the dishes.

"Haha, since that's the case, let's get straight to the point, no need to beat around the bush," Gu Xuanyu chuckled coldly and got to the point.

"Chen Yang, before we formally begin discussions, let me introduce you first: this is Murong, from the Murong family of the Capital City, who is here for the imminent redevelopment of Liuhe Village,"

Gu Xuanyu introduced very solemnly, as if Murong's background was very powerful.

But such a serious introduction did not have much impact on Chen Yang.

Chen Yang merely nodded slightly, without appearing particularly surprised or affected.

However, Wang Qingyue's expression changed slightly upon hearing Gu Xuanyu's introduction.

It was a look of surprise.

But in such settings, Chen Yang couldn't directly ask, so he just sat silently in his place.

Gu Xuanyu noticed the expressions of Chen Yang and Wang Qingyue.

Seeing Chen Yang's calm demeanor, he chuckled, then continued, "Chen Yang, you might not be fully aware of Murong's family background, let me tell you about it."

"The Murong family is the largest global tourism group company; they hold stakes in eighty percent of global tourist attractions."

Gu Xuanyu was introducing, but his tone always carried a hint of boasting.

Seeing Gu Xuanyu like this, Chen Yang couldn't help but smile.

Who knew the arrogant Young Master Gu, could feel so proud of knowing someone.
