I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 252: Chapter 233: He Is a Big Shot

「On the plane.」

Lu Feng rested with his eyes closed, thinking things over.

’To be honest, the Xuanfeng Alliance wasn’t originally part of my plans,’ he thought.

’Unfortunately, the things I acquired from the game world are just too incredible for reality. The Qingfeng Intelligent Assistant alone is enough to make people green with envy.’

’The country’s unique system and its unwritten rules forced me to create the Xuanfeng Alliance.’

’But since it has come to this, I should naturally consider how to develop the Xuanfeng Alliance.’

’After all, this is territory that belongs completely to me.’

’On my own turf, it’ll be my freedom to do as I please with the things I bring out of the game. No one can restrict me.’

’Besides, with an entire game world that’s nearly a hundred years ahead of reality, I refuse to believe I can’t develop the Xuanfeng Alliance well.’

’I won’t just develop it well; I’ll make it dazzling—a place everyone yearns to be.’

’Right now, infrastructure is just one aspect.’

’The Xuanfeng Alliance’s small population is also a problem.’

’That area used to be in a constant state of chaos. It was only after a long period of war that Baguda and Dali managed to stabilize Cambodia.’

’The war naturally killed many men, leading to a surplus of women, a skewed gender ratio, and an insufficient labor force.’

’The crucial issue is the lack of talent.’

’As everyone knows, if a place wants to develop, talent is indispensable. All kinds of talent are needed.’

’I do have an idea about that—attracting domestic talent to the Xuanfeng Alliance.’

’Back home, even talented individuals have to face issues like bride prices, housing, cars, seniority...’

’If the Xuanfeng Alliance can offer good benefits—if you have talent, you can come—we can provide a car, a house, and even... I can even arrange a wife for truly talented individuals.’

’After all, the current situation in the Xuanfeng Alliance is a surplus of women and a shortage of men.’

’The key is that the beautiful women of Cambodia are genuinely attractive. Their features are similar to those back home, but with an exotic charm.’

’This ’honey trap’ strategy seems pretty good.’

’However, to offer such benefits, the economy must be developed. Relying solely on Xuanfeng Bank isn’t enough.’

’And to develop the economy, even if I can bring out all sorts of technologies from the game world, smooth roads and well-established basic facilities are still essential.’

’So, infrastructure is still the prerequisite.’

As Lu Feng was lost in thought, the middle-aged man in the next seat struck up a conversation. "Young brother, are you also heading to Myanmar to check out business opportunities?"

Since the Xuanfeng Alliance had no direct flights from his home country, he could only return via an airport in Myanmar.

"Brother, how could you tell?" Lu Feng didn’t explain, simply asking a question in return.

The middle-aged man was dressed in an impeccable suit and tie. He was clearly a serious businessman, yet quite outgoing.

The middle-aged man chuckled. "What young person these days would dare to travel to Myanmar for tourism? Only if they don’t want their kidneys anymore."

This made Lu Feng sigh. ’It’s true. Myanmar is too chaotic. Many people from back home have been tricked into going to Myanmar by job scams, only to lose a kidney.’

’And the Xuanfeng Alliance region was once even more chaotic than Myanmar. It’s full of social dregs. I’ll have to get Red Lizard to lead a team and clean them out.’

’Otherwise, even if we attract immigrants, a single incident would cause an uproar back home. We’d probably start seeing warnings like, ’Don’t get tricked into going to the Xuanfeng Alliance and losing a kidney.’’

The middle-aged man continued, "By the way, my name is Cheng Jian. I’m in the infrastructure construction business. I went to Myanmar this time to survey a project, but I’m returning disappointed. The place is too chaotic; no project would be stable there."

Hearing this, Lu Feng asked, "Brother Cheng, your company must be quite formidable, right? To be surveying projects abroad."

In the construction business, those who operate internationally are either small, non-compliant outfits or they have substantial strength.

When asking someone such a question, it was natural to frame it positively.

Cheng Jian smiled confidently. "I’ve been in infrastructure for fifteen years. My company is of a decent size now."

That meant it was a very large-scale operation.

Lu Feng understood this kind of humblebrag, especially since the confidence on Cheng Jian’s face was impossible to hide.

...

「Tianzhou City International Airport.」

Many people were already waiting at the arrival gate, peering inside, clearly afraid the person they were picking up wouldn’t see them.

Of course, some had more elaborate welcoming parties, with groups of four or five people holding large, eye-catching signs.

For instance, the sign that read ’President Cheng of Zhonghe Construction Group’ was the most prominent.

Everyone knew that a company big enough to be called a "Group" and whose leader was addressed as "President Cheng" meant that, in the eyes of an ordinary person, he was definitely worth a lot.

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed.

A group of vicious-looking men walked over. Even though they were all in suits and ties, you could still sense their gangster vibe at a glance.

When this group arrived, everyone else instinctively moved aside.

The men suddenly unfurled a banner: Welcome back, President Lu!

The scene immediately caught everyone’s attention.

Who was President Lu?

It was like a scene out of a movie.

Yang Ming, Ah Pao, and the others paid no mind to the stares from the crowd.

Although it was flashy, when you reached a certain status, you had to have the appropriate pageantry.

Moreover, in Tianzhou City, after Mr. Chen’s death, they had used the information he left behind. It could be said that they could now leverage many officials in Tianzhou City.

Having no pageantry at all would, on the contrary, cause people to look down on them.

Lu Feng and Black Snake quickly emerged from the arrival gate, accompanied by Cheng Jian and his three employees.

They had hit it off while chatting on the plane, and since they were in the same row, they got off together.

Upon reaching the gate, Lu Feng saw his cousin Yang Ming, Ah Pao, and the others.

The sight of a group of his brothers welcoming him with a banner was just too eye-catching.

Cheng Jian also saw the scene and whispered to Lu Feng, "Young brother, do you see those people? They have a very powerful backer."

"Brother Cheng, you know them?" Lu Feng asked with a smile.

Cheng Jian shook his head. "How could I possibly know them? But I saw their leader once at a banquet hosted by an underworld boss. You know, being in construction, it’s unavoidable to have contact with people from the underworld."

"The underworld boss I know is already quite famous, but he was still extremely respectful in front of that leader. I think the leader is called Brother Ming, and he’s in charge of Qingfeng Entertainment Company."

"Young brother, you’re from Tianzhou City too, so you must know of Qingfeng Entertainment Company, right? The boss of this company is the same as the boss of Qingfeng Network Company. This Brother Ming is one of his representatives in Tianzhou City."

"The President Lu they’re here to welcome must be the big boss behind the scenes. I’ve heard rumors that he’s the real deal. Even the renowned Master Kai of Tianzhou City runs errands for him."

"Anyway, within certain circles in Tianzhou City, not many people have actually seen him, but there isn’t anyone who doesn’t know his name."

Standing beside them, Black Snake listened to Cheng Jian and chuckled inwardly.

’This guy probably has no idea President Lu is right next to him.’

As Cheng Jian spoke, he and Lu Feng walked out of the arrival gate area.

The few people holding the ’President Cheng of Zhonghe Construction Group’ sign immediately rushed over, greeting him with utmost respect:

"President Cheng, you’re finally back."

"President Cheng..."

"President Cheng..."

Cheng Jian smiled at Lu Feng and said, "Young brother, I’ve managed to build a decent business here in Tianzhou City. It must be fate that we were on the same flight. May I ask your surname? You should come visit my company when you have time."

Clearly, he had a good impression of the young man before him. He was poised, confident, and had the presence of a leader. Cheng Jian felt like giving him a little boost.

However, seeing that the young man had an attendant with him, he probably had his own business as well.

Just then, Yang Ming and Ah Pao swarmed over with their men. They had spotted Lu Feng from a distance. The moment they reached him, each one called out respectfully.

"President Lu, we missed you like crazy!" Ah Pao said, his face all smiles.

"President Lu!"

"President Lu!"

The others also greeted him one after another.

"Xiaofeng!" Yang Ming also stepped forward and gave Lu Feng a hug.

"Cousin!" Lu Feng responded with a smile.

Beside them, Cheng Jian was completely dumbfounded. He never would have imagined that the young man who had flown back with him was that President Lu.

’How could such a renowned figure be so young?’

In his mind, the man should have been at least a little older.

’It’s unbelievable.’

Just then, Lu Feng turned to Cheng Jian with a smile. "Brother Cheng, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Lu. I believe we’ll have another chance to meet."

"Ah...!" It took Cheng Jian a long moment to react, but by then, the man was already leaving the airport, surrounded by Brother Ming and his crew.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

An awkward silence followed.

’I was just gossiping about him right to his face.’

This was...

"President Cheng, who was that just now?"

After a moment, one of Cheng Jian’s employees finally asked. They could all tell that something was off with their boss.

"A titan!" Cheng Jian said, gazing at the backs of Lu Feng and his group as they disappeared from view.
