Top-Tier Superpower Student

"When you go to Yunhai, talk to the seller directly; we can buy from them instead of going through middlemen, and save a decent amount for the company," Shen Mengyi said.

Lin Tian was really reluctant. He had planned to spend some quality time with his wife, but now he had to contact the seller.

But what could he do? After all, it was his own company, and seeing Shen Mengyi working so hard, Lin Tian couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"All right, I got it." Lin Tian agreed and left Shen Mengyi's office to find He Qianqian.

He Qianqian took out two plane tickets, giggling, "I've already bought the tickets. They're for eleven noon, and we still have two hours. We can rest here for a bit."

"Rest? No way!" Lin Tian grabbed He Qianqian and they left, "Let's use this time to buy some gifts for my father-in-law and brother-in-law. It's my first visit, and I need to make a good impression."

Lin Tian dragged He Qianqian outside.

"Stop it, you know how to work things out. Be gentle, walk slower."

"Big wife, what do my father-in-law and mother-in-law like?" Lin Tian asked.

"My parents are simple farmers. They don't have any specific hobbies. Maybe you could buy some ginseng for my father to soak in liquor and some health supplements for my mother."

"And what does my brother-in-law like?"

"My brother's biggest wish is to have a wife. Can you buy him a wife?" He Qianqian furrowed her brow.

"That... well, finding a wife is something he has to do himself. How about this? One day I'll bring your brother to the company, and he can meet all our employees. If he likes someone, we could set them up. How does that sound?"

"Hmm, good idea."

"As the proverb goes, a new son-in-law must first win over his brother-in-law. Finding a wife for my brother-in-law is a big deal; she has to be as beautiful as my big wife."

He Qianqian burst into joyous laughter. Lin Tian changed his tone, "Ah, my big wife is so uniquely beautiful, it will be tough to find someone as gorgeous as you for my brother-in-law. It's truly difficult, near impossible to find."

Lin Tian was constantly praising He Qianqian's beauty, making her somewhat embarrassed. She quickly told him to stop talking.

…, ….

By twelve, Lin Tian and He Qianqian had set foot on Yunhai's territory.

Yunhai City is the largest city in the world but has a small population because three-quarters of it is continuous mountain ranges and forests. The unique geographical location creates the perfect conditions for Lingzhi to grow.

From a distance, it's lush green, the scenery magnificent, the plants charming, but close up, it's not that great.

Because the forest and mountain regions are vast, they greatly limit the development of Yunhai City. Other than abundance of trees and mountains, there isn't much else. It's relatively underdeveloped compared to other provinces and cities.

Getting off the plane was just the first step. Afterward, they took a train to the county town, then a bus to a small town, and finally walked to the village.

The road was bumpy and winding. He Qianqian's new high heels were ruined, forcing her to switch to sneakers to continue the walk.

Standing at the entrance of the village, they discovered the small village was home to merely a hundred families, with houses all constructed with standard tiles, not a single small western-style building in sight.

"I haven't been to such a small mountain village in a long time," Lin Tian stretched his arms, seemingly embracing the forest.

"I grew up here. Do you think I'm just a country girl and despise me for that?" He Qianqian tugged at Lin Tian's ear as she asked, but her face showed no worry, as if she already knew his answer.

"Ouch, ouch, lighter," Lin Tian quickly pleaded for mercy, covering his ears.

He Qianqian let go of Lin Tian's ear, and he immediately kissed her, "I think this place is pretty good—clear mountains, wise spirits, fresh air, and no disturbance from car exhaust or smog. If it were up to me, I'd love to settle down here in my later years."

"You're such a sweet-talker," He Qianqian chided with a smile.

"Not at all, I'm just stating the facts. The land here nourishes people. Otherwise, how could my big wife be so beautiful?"

"There you go, not being serious again."

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet my parents. When you see them, be serious, don't be grinning all the time and most importantly, stop taking advantage of me and trying to cop a feel. My parents are quite conservative; they don't like flippant guys."

No sooner had He Qianqian finished speaking than Lin Tian's hands had grabbed her chest, pinching it hard.

"Stop it." He Qianqian quickly broke free, punched Lin Tian forcefully, and shouted, "I told you not to take advantage, and you're not listening again."

Lin Tian smirked, "Isn't it because we haven't met your parents yet? Once we do, I wouldn't dare take advantage. I might as well while I still can."

"That's still no excuse. You better behave yourself. If you behave well, I'll listen to you when we get back. If not, I won't bother with you anymore, and I'll take my little sister away too. What will you do then?" He Qianqian said provocatively, purposely sticking out her chest.

This was a blatant threat, and Lin Tian feared this tactic the most. He quickly snapped to attention and said, "Yes, ma'am!"

He Qianqian watched Lin Tian's reaction and burst out laughing, then joyfully took his hand and they walked further inside.

Just as they had entered the village, a BMW sped past them and then they heard a harsh screeching of brakes as the car stopped and slowly reversed.

The BMW pulled up beside He Qianqian, the window rolled down, and the passenger seat revealed a woman wearing heavy makeup.

The flashy woman had an explosive hairstyle, wore extremely short clothing that was scant both at the top and bottom, showing off her cleavage and long legs— a clear attempt at seduction.

It had to be said, the flashy woman was indeed beautiful, especially in such a small mountain village where she would definitely be considered one of the most attractive women, though the style was a bit too exaggerated— suitable more for a big city nightclub rather than the traditional values of a small village.

"He Qianqian, is that you? I haven't seen you for years. How have you been? I heard you went to the big city. With your looks, you must be doing quite well, aren't you?" the flashy woman said, somewhat provocatively.

Especially that last remark, what did she mean by that? Did she think He Qianqian could only live off her looks outside? What did she consider He Qianqian to be, a prostitute?

He Qianqian, visibly displeased, coldly said, "Zhang Li."

"Wow, He Qianqian, so you do remember me. I'm truly honored. He Qianqian from the big city still remembers my name. I thought you had forgotten me and our classmates!" Zhang Li said sarcastically.

"That's not going to happen; I would never forget you," He Qianqian frankly said, clearly expressing her disdain for Zhang Li.

Then, Zhang Li turned her gaze on Lin Tian. She looked him up and down and found that he looked okay but was dressed rather shabbily, probably not wearing anything as expensive as the purse she was holding.

Judging people by their clothes? Big mistake. Lin Tian's net worth was more than a hundred billion now, but he didn't care about dressing up, he had no particular demands for clothes as long as they were decent and modest.

Thinking Lin Tian was very poor, Zhang Li felt very smug and sneered, "Qianqian, is this your boyfriend? What does your boyfriend do? He looks handsome enough, but his clothes are so shabby. How can he dress like this when he's meeting your parents for the first time? Does he not care about you, or is it that he has no money?"

Lin Tian was getting angry and wanted to teach this woman a lesson, but He Qianqian stopped him, seeming not to want to cause a scene.

He Qianqian said, "What my boyfriend does is none of your business. Neither is what he wears, as long as I like it. Please step aside."

"What's the rush?" Instead of stepping aside, Zhang Li stepped out of the car, emitting a pungent perfume smell that almost made Lin Tian vomit. He couldn't even begin to imagine the pressure on one's nose if one had to sleep with a woman like that.

"Old classmates rarely meet; let's chat a bit more. I've always told you, what's so good about the big city? Housing is a problem, expenses are high, and you just earn that little fixed salary every month."

"Look at our Shi Tian; he wasn't great in school, but over the past few years, he has contracted several mountains and is now earning a few million a year, far better than what you earn in the big city."

Zhang Li was still rambling on when a bald man climbed out from the driver's seat, the very Shi Tian mentioned by Zhang Li.

"Qianqian, it's been years since we last saw each other, and you've grown even more attractive. Have you missed your elder brother these years? You never even call me. Come sit at my house later, chat with your elder brother about what's been happening in your life, if you need any help just ask, and I'll surely assist."

As Shi Tian spoke, his eyes continually swept over He Qianqian's body, his eyeballs nearly popping out whenever they roamed to her more prominent features, making no attempt to hide his greedy and lecherous gaze.

"You Shi Lao Er, I'm right here and you're already flirting with your old flame. If I were to leave, wouldn't you turn the sky upside down?" Zhang Li, green with jealousy, yelled furiously, pounding Shi Tian's chest heavily.

"You ugly hag, so I can't even speak to another woman without you freakin' out? Come home with me and see how I deal with you." Shi Tian seized Zhang Li by the collar and shoved her back into the car.

It appeared that Zhang Li's status wasn't too high, either. Lin Tian couldn't understand what Zhang Li had to strut about in front of He Qianqian!

As Shi Tian got in the car, completely oblivious to Lin Tian's status, he cheekily said to He Qianqian, "Qianqian, I'll go home first. If you're free tonight, swing by my place; I'll be waiting for you."

"I won't come," He Qianqian shot Shi Tian a disdainful glance, her face full of reluctance.
