On the stage, Zhang Hui was frightened and disoriented.

At this precise moment, she finally recognized the magnitude of Lin Yun's influence.

Many billionaires showed exceptional respect towards Lin Yun.

Those billionaires were far from being fools, she noticed the content of the conversation.

They had indeed met Lin Yun at our last gathering at the Wangxian Tower ... the general manager of Wangxian Tower had mentioned him...

It was likely that those wealthy businessmen were already aware of Lin Yun's capabilities.

That's why they didn't doubt what Lin Yun said.

Lin Yun might actually have a project worth tens of billions... and was even planning on entrusting it to Zhao Gang...

At least it was apparent, Lin Yun's net worth far surpassed these billionaires' wealth.

Indeed, one could discern this from the grandeur on display.

There were dozens of bodyguards, many of them armed, and the vehicles of many bodyguards were top-tier models like the Diling X9 and the Jianhu X9...

Which of the wealthy businessmen has put on such a display?

She thought back to her wedding, where her bridal car was a Diling X6, which had made her girlfriends green with envy... Now, it was just a laughable comparison!

Between fairy tales and reality, she had chosen reality.

However, now she discovered how ludicrous her choice of reality was.

This choice...

She had lost in both aspects, love and material possessions.

...

At the official building in Immortal Origin County, within an office...

"Dozens of bodyguards? Many are armed? Twenty luxury vehicles? The total value of all of this must be at least above 70 million?"

A middle-aged man sat in his chair, taking a deep breath after hearing the report on the other side of the phone.

"I see." After a moment, the middle-aged man slowly nodded and murmured.

"By the way, help me look into that Gold Sword Security Company he mentioned." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said.

After speaking a few more sentences, the middle-aged man hung up the phone.

At the moment, he was speechless.

At the same time, he regretted it.

If he had known that Immortal Origin County had such a dragon, he wouldn't have issued the order to ban tricycles. He felt that after Lin Yun returned, he could still flatter him and given Lin Yun's connections with the businessmen at Wangxian Tower, just letting Lin Yun invest in Immortal Origin County, would likely trigger the other businessmen to follow suit.

That way, wouldn't political achievements naturally follow?

Unlike the businessmen at Wangxian Tower, Immortal Origin County was Lin Yun's hometown. Persuading Lin Yun to invest in Immortal Origin County shouldn't be difficult.

In contrast, what was the significance of his political achievement for the tricycle ban in Immortal Origin County?

"Secretary, if not, how about we repeal the ban on tricycles in our county?" Secretary Zhu's personal secretary, a young man standing behind him, asked with some hesitation.

He was Secretary Zhu's personal secretary, and was privy to many matters concerning Secretary Zhu. He had been present during the incident at the Wangxian Tower and he had clearly heard the phone conversation just now, hence, he could guess the situation Secretary Zhu is currently facing.

"No need. If I retract my order, it will only make me seem weak in his eyes. Although this order affects many people and things in Immortal Origins County, fundamentally, I issued this order in the hopes of improving Immortal Origin County," Secretary Zhu shook his head and said casually.

"Even if there is something wrong with this order, it still requires the other party to convince me. If I'm wrong, I'll change. I am not rigid. In doing so, doesn't this further demonstrate his abilities?" Secretary Zhu continued after a pause.

Even though he was not yet forty, he had already assumed such a high-ranking position, a rarity nationwide. How could he not have some dealing tactics?

Lin Yun was young and, presumably, not too difficult to deal with.

He already had a strategy in his mind.

Being a fair and impartial official should not be a source of resentment.

All he needed to do was to show that everything he does is for the development of Immortal Origin County.

"The Secretary really thinks things through..." Hearing Secretary Zhu's words, the secretary's eyes lit up with admiration.

At this moment, he was genuinely awestruck by Secretary Zhu.

Any normal person in Secretary Zhu's position who encountered such a situation would probably change their commands at the drop of a hat, just to flatter Lin Yun.

After all, Lin Yun's power was formidable. As long as Secretary Zhu could win over Lin Yun, he would ascend in his career quickly.

However, against the odds, Secretary Zhu adopted a contrary approach.

This strategy was much more ingenious and could also build a strong public image.

No wonder Secretary Zhu had managed to rise to such a high rank at such a young age.

"I wonder if the mention of that multi-billion Yuan project is true or not, and where they plan to invest. If they plan to invest all in Immortal Origin County..." Secretary Zhu's right forefinger tapped on the table, as he had started pondering over another matter.

Billions! If it is all invested in Immortal Origin County, it would definitely bring earth-shaking changes to the county and it would undoubtedly be a mammoth political achievement.
