Chapter 97: "President Ti Always Wants to Rely on Her Son's Status"

Zeng Shen's second uncle, along with his eldest, second, and second eldest cousins, were responsible for the construction of the pre-prepared food factory. Knowing Zeng Shen would visit today, they waited at the site entrance.

His second uncle, a short but diligent man, immediately began explaining the project as soon as Zeng Shen stepped out of the car.

"Shen, this area will have five nine-story dormitory buildings for employees. Each room will house six people, accommodating over five thousand employees. This zone will be for warehouses, with a cold storage warehouse..."

Zeng Shen wanted to tell his second uncle that he trusted him to manage everything and was just there for a quick look. However, he knew Wu Yanqiang's meticulous nature and dedication, so he listened patiently.

It took an hour for his second uncle to detail the entire foundational layout of the factory.

As he was about to explain the expansion plans, Zeng Shen interjected, "It's already noon, Second Uncle, Eldest Cousin, Second Cousin, Second Eldest Cousin, let's go to my house for lunch. My mom should have lunch ready, and I need to return to Jinhai afterwards."

...

After lunch, instead of heading back to Jinhai City, Zeng Shen directed Number One towards Tiehai District. Tiehai District was adjacent to Tonghai District, and it usually took an hour via the Jintie Expressway.

However, he opted for the mountainous old roads instead.

This route offered more chances for first-time exploration bonuses and was quieter, with almost no surveillance cameras, allowing him to leave the driver's seat and continue practicing Flight in the RV.

Six hours later, Zeng Shen walked from the back of the RV to the lounge area and lay down on the soft couch to check the progress of his Flight skill on the Mastery Card.

[Flight, Basic Skill (50/500)]

"Not bad, already a tenth of the way," Zeng Shen murmured, glancing at the seven stamina and energy potions in his backpack, contemplating.

If he exhausted his mental and physical energy using Flight continuously, would a potion quickly restore him? He dismissed the idea quickly; the potions were too scarce unless he won more in the roulette.

Suddenly, Number One's mechanical voice interrupted his thoughts:

"Master, all villages and towns on the outskirts of Jintie City have been traversed, taking five and a half hours."

"So fast," Zeng Shen was momentarily surprised but quickly understood. Jintie wasn't large, and there weren't many villages, so it made sense.

"Find a secluded spot to stop," Zeng Shen instructed. He then opened WeChat to ask Xiao Ti where she was.

"Master, I'm with the mistress," Xiao Ti quickly replied.

"?"

Zeng Shen sent a question mark; he hadn't introduced Xiao Ti to Li Yuqing. How did they know each other?

Xiao Ti explained, "Master, didn't you ask Xiao Ai to keep the mistress busy over May Day?

"So Xiao Ai planned a new development for the mistress's studio: filming webnovel-style mini-dramas, focusing on quick, short, and exciting episodes, with a hundred-episode script called 'President Ti Always Wants to Rely on Her Son's Status.'

"Then she asked me to play the male lead. Starting tomorrow, we'll film three episodes daily, releasing them by May Day, and continue filming three episodes daily alongside the release."

"!"

Zeng Shen was impressed with Xiao Ai, his most resourceful assistant. In this world, webnovel-style mini-dramas hadn't been done before. In his previous life, he'd heard they were starting to become popular and could become a sensation.

Whether or not they became a sensation, Zeng Shen didn't care much. His main concern was keeping Li Yuqing busy with the new project, leaving her no time to accompany him on his trip.

It was a perfect plan.

Zeng Shen marveled at the ingenuity and then asked a question he was curious about, "You're a woman, how can you play the male lead?"

"Xiao Ai said it's about contrast. According to her analysis, both the male lead and the son will be played by women, which will be well-received by the market."

Xiao Ti explained quickly.

"The son will also be played by a woman? Have you found suitable candidates?" Zeng Shen asked.

"Not yet, but Xiao Ai said she'd look into some interest classes tomorrow to find two suitable candidates."

Hearing they hadn't found candidates yet, Zeng Shen thought of two girls and said, "I have a good candidate, Huang Yuxing, my little 'apprentice' and the girl from my building who practices at Lihuo Martial Arts. Let me tell you about her."

Zeng Shen recounted his encounter with Huang Yuxing at the martial arts hall to Xiao Ti and then recommended his niece, Wu Xingyue.

After reading Zeng Shen's messages, Xiao Ti replied, "I see. Since you have candidates in mind, I'll tell Xiao Ai not to search tomorrow."

"Yes, see if they are suitable and if their families agree. If not, find someone else," Zeng Shen instructed.

"Understood, Master," Xiao Ti replied, then reminded him, "Master, did you contact Xiao Ti for anything else?"

Remembering his original intent, Zeng Shen replied:

"Yes, come to Haoyun Community. I want to spar with you in the divine realm to see if I've improved recently."

"Alright, Master, I'll be there in five minutes."

Seeing Xiao Ti's message, Zeng Shen pocketed his phone, took out the Wormhole Marker Card, cleared the sub-track point in Yinhai, and set a new one in the RV before teleporting back to his bedroom.

Five minutes later, Xiao Ti arrived, opened the door, and walked in.

Zeng Shen looked up, his pupils slightly contracting.

Xiao Ti was wearing a rare black cropped jacket, revealing her slender white arms and blue ripped jeans with hints of black stockings. Her ensemble, completed with black Martin boots, exuded a wild modern rebelliousness.
