Ji Yang’s days in Qingyuan Village were truly good. Besides interacting with the Wu Family Sisters daily, he also communicated with the Qian Sisters and occasionally with Huang Yu.
Surrounded by beauties, Ji Yang not only felt no fatigue, but he grew more spirited with battle.
What made Ji Yang most curious was the Inner Qi inside his body, which had now burst through the life gate acupoint and was moving upward along his back.
Ji Yang felt that something was happening to him, but he couldn’t figure out exactly what it was.
In his interactions with women, Ji Yang was even more at ease and truly managed to relax and let things flow from the heart.
One day, while he was in his office looking at documents, he received a call from Zhou Chengqian.
Their conversation had become much more informal.
Zhou Chengqian said, "Brother Ji, there’s a situation. The young master of the Gao Family might be coming to your area soon."
"The Gao Family’s young master?"
"The province has just reshuffled its leadership team, haven’t they? The second-in-command is from the Gao Family. Their eldest son, Gao Daqing, seems to have noticed the profitability of the rice wine, and his visit doesn’t bode well. You should be cautious. We have some measures for other people, but this Gao Family’s young master is a completely different character. He’s been arrogant from the start, and who knows what he’ll stir up after he arrives."
Ji Yang’s expression slightly changed, feeling genuinely wary if such a person were to arrive.
"However, you don’t have to be too scared. He won’t dare to do anything overtly, and our families are not to be trifled with. I believe the Gao Family is somewhat aware of your situation."
"No need for thanks. Just be careful yourself this time, and don’t give him anything to leverage."
After hanging up, Ji Yang sat there, lost in thought.
It was clear from Zhou Chengqian’s call that Gao Daqing indeed had ulterior motives.
The rice wine formula from Wushu Village had been made public, and his purpose was probably to monopolize the raw materials of Wushu Village. As long as he controlled the materials, making money would not be difficult for him.
Indeed, making money is not easy!
Regarding this matter, Ji Yang really didn’t have a good solution, especially since Gao Daqing’s arrival was likely backed by his family elders. In that case, he, a mere deputy county head, really couldn’t withstand it.
The fact that Zhou Chengqian had called at this time indicated that he also didn’t have a good solution.
The Zhou Family was only the third-in-command in the province, while the Gao Family was the second-in-command, ranking higher.
Of course, if it came to a real fight, the Zhou Family wouldn’t fear the opponent, but such a scenario was impossible among officials. Therefore, this matter would probably be fought out by the younger generations, with the elders unlikely to intervene.
This meant that when the time came, Ji Yang would have to face Gao Daqing, not the Gao Family’s elders.
Having realized this, Ji Yang had somewhat relaxed, knowing he still had the power to resist as long as their elders didn’t intervene.
Soon, Ji Yang laughed. He hadn’t taken undue advantage in this matter and couldn’t possibly engage in a conflict of interests with them.
Of course, the situation of the Wu family would also be affected and was certain to suffer an impact.
After contemplating this matter, Ji Yang still decided to call Wu Mi. He explained the situation to her and mentioned the stake’s involved.
Hearing about this, Wu Mi was somewhat speechless, saying, "Everyone has just started planting on a large scale, and it will be months before we can harvest. If they cause trouble now, good outcomes are really uncertain, and it could even lead to turmoil."
Ji Yang thought for a moment and said, "Don’t stand out, let the village handle these matters. I suspect his visit is aimed at seizing everyone’s land."
"Everyone will definitely not agree."
Ji Yang fell silent, knowing he would have to step in when the time came. If Gao Daqing couldn’t persuade everyone, he might very well turn to Ji Yang for help.
Ji Yang was already beginning to feel a headache coming on.
After a while, Ji Yang called Shuyuan to inform her about what Gao Daqing might do.
After listening to Ji Yang’s report, Shuyuan also felt a headache and said, "I can’t really intervene in your affairs from here, and the Chu Family is even less likely to get involved there."
"I was just letting you know."
Ji Yang was really just informing Shuyuan without asking for her help.
Shuyuan said, "The Gao Family also has strong backing, from the Capital City no less, with their old man still alive."
This was to imply that the Gao Family had strong power.
After a while, Shuyuan added, "I’ll speak to the Wu Family Sisters. If it really comes to it, we might have to yield where necessary."
Ji Yang nodded, "That’s the situation indeed. I don’t have a good solution in this matter."
Regarding this situation, Ji Yang couldn’t find a good solution for the time being. Thinking about how the Wu Family Sisters had also made quite a lot of money, he felt that was all he could do.
