What Lin Fan did undoubtedly far exceeded what someone his age should be doing, so it's normal for the people he encountered to have questions about him, and that's not something unacceptable.

"Teacher, are you really going to open a factory here?"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Su Shan's eyes widened again, and he stammered as he spoke.

He simply couldn't understand why someone like Lin Fan would come here to open a factory.

It should be noted that due to the existence of various development zones and industrial parks in the southern urban area, their factories have been idle for a long time.

Apart from locals like Su Cheng's father, very few people generally have any dealings with those factories.

After all, businessmen are profit-driven. If there are better options, why would they come to this poor and remote place, Dongyang Town?

"of course it's true."

"I wouldn't lie to my students, would I?"

Lin Fan chuckled and made a teasing remark, glancing at Su Cheng beside him.

Su Cheng, standing to the side, patted her second uncle on the shoulder with a hint of exasperation and said, "Second Uncle, why are you saying so much? Hurry up and arrange for Teacher Lin Fan to take him to see the factory in detail and then discuss the contract!"

Isn't my second uncle usually very clever? He's especially good at seizing opportunities, and no foreign investor can escape his silver tongue.

Why are you acting so dull and silly today?

"Oh! Yes, yes, the girl is right!"

"Welcome, Mr. Lin Fan! Welcome to invest in our Dongyang Town!"

Su Shan seemed to realize what was happening, and hurriedly walked up to Lin Fan, took Lin Fan's hand and spoke warmly.

Before Lin Fan could speak, Su Shan continued, "Teacher Lin Fan, please sit here for a while!"

"The factory building issue isn't something I can decide on my own. I'll go and call the other heads of our investment promotion office over!"

"Please sit down, please sit down. Girl, you stay here and take good care of Teacher Lin Fan. I'll be right back!"

After saying "Welcome," Su Shan left in a hurry, leaving behind a smiling Lin Fan and a helpless Su Cheng.

Watching her second uncle's departing figure, Su Cheng leaned close to Lin Fan's ear and whispered, "Teacher Lin Fan, my second uncle is usually quite composed. I don't know what's wrong with him today. Perhaps your arrival has made him feel flattered."

Su Cheng was afraid that Lin Fan would look down on her second uncle, think he wasn't mature enough, and then develop a prejudiced view of their Dongyang Town, so she hurriedly explained to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan waved his hand and smiled, "It's nothing. I actually think your second uncle is quite cute."

"While your second uncle is out looking for someone, Su Cheng, why don't you give me a proper introduction to your Dongyang Town!"

"I don't know much about this place yet. I can only make a careful and correct decision after I have a full understanding of it."

Su Cheng nodded hurriedly, and then whispered to Lin Fan about the history of Dongyang Town and its development in recent years.

After leaving the office, Su Shan rushed to the factory area.

He then found the factory manager, Li Gui, who was also one of the investors who originally built the factory.

"Old Li, Old Li!"

From a great distance, Su Shan called out to his old friend.

He then kicked open the door and barged into Li Gui's office.

Sitting across from Old Li was an elderly man with gray hair. The two of them, bored out of their minds, were actually playing chess in the office.

Seeing Su Shan burst in, Li Gui glared at him and said, "Hey Su, why are you still so rude? Don't you know you have to knock before entering someone's office?"

Su Shan slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, Lao Li, stop talking nonsense and come with me. I have something important to tell you."

Li Gui glanced at him but ignored him, instead picking up a chess piece and capturing one of the opponent's horses.

Then, with a smug grin, he tilted his head back and said, "Hahaha, Old Zhang, you're going to lose this time!"

"We agreed on a bottle of strong liquor, you can't go back on your word!"

Seeing that Li Gui didn't respond, Su Shan glared at him, walked behind him, and kicked him in the butt.

"Old Li, I'm talking to you. Hurry up and come with me. What are you doing playing chess?"

Li Gui stood up and saw Su Shan's serious expression. He knew that the other party really had something important to tell him, so he patted the dirt off his backside and said helplessly, "What? What? What could be so important in this little shabby place? What's wrong? Did the sky fall?"

Su Shan said loudly, "It's such a waste to hand over this factory to you!"

"You never do anything productive all day long, all you do is slack off!"

"The sky hasn't fallen, of course. Someone has come to invest in our Dongyang Town and wants to rent our factory. Are you going or not? If you're not going, I'll take care of this myself!"

Upon hearing Su Shan's words, Li Gui, who had been relatively calm, suddenly jumped up.

"What did you say, Lao Su? You're not kidding, are you? Someone's investing in this godforsaken place?"

Su Shan glared at him and said, "Can't you say anything nice? How come our place is considered a godforsaken place? If it weren't for the favoritism of the higher-ups, we would be a development zone and the core of Nancheng now!"

"Alright, alright, why am I saying all this to you? Hurry up and come with me, don't neglect our guest!"

Li Gui also felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and his forehead became somewhat excited.

"Yes, yes, let's hurry up and go see our guest!"

The two then rushed out of the room, leaving the bewildered old man standing there staring blankly at the strange creature.

While still on the road, Li Gui kept walking and couldn't help but ask Su Shan, "Old Su, who exactly is this guest? Have you found out? Don't let him deceive you!"

"Don't talk nonsense. You're not allowed to say such things in front of the guests later."

"As for the identity of our distinguished guest, he is a teacher at my niece's school and an honorary professor at Nancheng University. He is a person of status and influence. Do you think he would come here just to amuse us?"

Upon hearing the man's identity, Li Gui became even more excited, rubbing his hands together and saying, "A teacher at Nancheng University, that's truly remarkable!"

"Then there shouldn't be any problem. My God, after waiting for so long, our Dongyang Town has finally been noticed. This is a great opportunity, and we must seize it!"

"Do you even need to tell me? Weren't you having a lot of fun just now? I thought you didn't care about these things."

"Hehe, alright, Lao Su, stop teasing me. I'm just really bored and looking for something to do. Otherwise, I can't just stay here guarding those factories until I'm buried, can I?"
