Chapter 2314 - 2274: Zhao Xiaoya

Ye Qiu would never allow counterfeit goods to be sold in Jade City. Now, this female tourist from Zhongzhou was knowledgeable enough to immediately spot the fakes. If it were other tourists, they might not have noticed and would have been fooled without even realizing it.

So, it is still unclear how many counterfeit goods the shop has already sold.

If some have already been sold, Ye Qiu believes Cai Yong should send people to retrieve them.

Now, Ye Qiu is driving away from here, heading back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

On returning to the entrance of the villa community, the female tourist and her friends were no longer surprised.

Because Jade City belongs to this young man, and since he drives a Land Rover, living in a villa here seemed quite normal.

When Ye Qiu parked the car, he said, "I’ll have someone investigate this matter first, and when the time comes, feel free to stay and enjoy yourself in Jinling."

As he got out of the car, Ye Qiu already knew that the young woman from Zhongzhou’s surname was Zhao, and Zhao Xiaoya was her name. The people with her were all classmates and close friends.

This time, they took advantage of the New Year holidays to visit Jinling. They had heard Jade City was nice and wanted to check out the jade artifacts, but unexpectedly, they encountered a shop selling counterfeit jade artifacts.

Getting out of the car, Ye Qiu led them inside since Ye Weidong and his wife, along with Ye Xue, hadn’t returned yet. At present, only Lin Xiang, Xiaohui, and Cao Ling were there.

When Xiaohui went to bring refreshments for Zhao Xiaoya and her friends, they already knew that Ye Qiu seemed to be more than just an ordinary rich second generation.

Of course, Jiangnan has been wealthy since ancient times.

Around lunchtime, Cai Yong called.

"Qiu, the jade shop has been investigated and was indeed selling fakes. Eight pieces were sold, and the counterfeit goods came from the Minnan region. As for the boss, how would you like to handle it?"

Minnan, huh?

It’s clear that Minnan also has many counterfeit jade artifacts.

"Retrieve those fake goods and compensate tenfold for each fake. As for that troublemaker, give him a beating and expel him from Jinling. I don’t want to see him here again."

It’s already lenient that Ye Qiu didn’t go as far as taking his life.

"Qiu, what about the goons he hired?"

"Disable them all. How dare they gang up on customers."

Ye Qiu wouldn’t let these things slide.

If those customers knew that the jade shop’s owner kept thugs to gang up on customers, who would dare shop there?

These matters, Cai Yong would definitely handle.

After hanging up, Ye Qiu turned to Zhao Xiaoya and her friends, saying, "Miss Zhao, I’ve already had the matter taken care of, so there shouldn’t be any issues when you enjoy your time in Jinling."

After Zhao Xiaoya and her friends had lunch, and when Ye Qiu drove them back to their hotel, he was also ready to leave.

However, Zhao Xiaoya wanted Ye Qiu’s contact information.

"Miss Zhao, if we are meant to meet again, we will. If not, then let it be."

This Zhao Xiaoya was considered a beauty in Zhongzhou, but Ye Qiu had met plenty of beautiful women, and someone like Cao Ling could make many girls around her pale in comparison.

Watching Ye Qiu drive away, Zhao Xiaoya felt a sense of disappointment, thinking that at the very least Ye Qiu would give her a phone number.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t at all.

Did he simply not want to be friends with her?

Upon reflection, it made sense. Given his wealth, controlling a Jade City on his own, one could imagine the capabilities of this young man.

Returning to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, Cao Ling was still there, and Ye Qiu didn’t want her to return to the Military District Compound so soon. After all, it was still the holiday period.

"Cao Ling, stay here and keep me company for a few more days."

Cao Ling was a bit shy but agreed.

"And those female tourists from Zhongzhou?"

"I’ve already dropped them off at the hotel, and then I left."

In the afternoon, Ye Qiu and Cao Ling went back to their room for a nap, while Xiaohui and Lin Xiang naturally guessed what was going on.

At around eight in the evening, when Ye Weidong drove back, the three of them had finally returned from their hometown.

"Kid, I did as you said."

As soon as he came back, Weidong looked at him and said.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was watching TV with Cao Ling and the others.

After Cao Ling and the others greeted Ye Weidong and his wife, Ye Qiu was still puzzled about what his father had done according to his instructions.

"I financed the construction of a new bridge in the town and also funded a new school building for the town’s middle school."

"How much did it cost?"

"Building the bridge cost about five to six million, and the school building over a million."

The school building was constructed as a seven-story building, so costing over a million wasn’t very expensive.

After all, in big cities like Jinling, even an ordinary house could exceed a million yuan.

"Dad, do as you see fit."

Ye Weidong wanted to reclaim some reputation, so he undertook these actions.

But in Ye Qiu’s view, it wasn’t necessary. He didn’t care about other people’s opinions. Of course, Ye Qiu didn’t even consider that money substantial, so his father could spend it as he wished.

Contributing more to the hometown, doing good deeds, indeed made Ye Weidong and his wife much better regarded.

Now, spending five to six million on a new bridge, in the usual course of events—provided there was no skimping on materials—the new bridge could last decades, even over a century. Consequently, everyone using that bridge would know it was funded by Ye Weidong.

How dare those people talk behind his back?

Many wealthy people enjoyed building roads, bridges, and schools, primarily for the reputation it brought, and secondly to accumulate good karma. It could also be considered contributing to their hometown.

If not for concerns over issues at the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant, Ye Weidong wouldn’t have wanted to return so quickly and would have liked to continue staying in his hometown.

Now that Ye Weidong had returned, he didn’t stop moving. He drove off to check on the situation at the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant.

After all, during the New Year, the restaurant’s business should be at its peak.

Having donated so much money to his hometown all at once, Ye Qiu didn’t mind. Weidong, on the other hand, felt a pinch, so he thought he needed to earn it back as soon as possible.

While Chen Fang and Ye Xue were chatting with Cao Ling and the others, Ye Qiu went back upstairs to his room, turned on the computer to play games, and unexpectedly, while playing, Li Qianqian called Ye Qiu to stream again.

Because many people wanted to watch Ye Qiu stream.

But Ye Qiu was not interested in streaming, as he didn’t need to do that.

"I don’t want to stream. There’s no point. I’ll just play some games and go to sleep. Cao Ling is with me."

Cao Ling?

At the mention of Cao Ling, Li Qianqian’s expression changed on the other end.

Not only was Cao Ling stunning, but she also had a significant family background. If compared to Liu Lingxiu, whose family situation was quite ordinary, Cao Ling’s family background was even more exceptional.

"Then I’ll come to your place tomorrow."
