  Among the women he’d met, there were some who didn’t even get the opportunity to dine with him and were rejected right away. It was simply because they had doused themselves with strong perfumes.

  Xuxu had a good rest on the flight. She felt exceptionally refreshed as she enjoyed Haicheng City’s coastal breeze.

  There was a road at the airport that led them directly to the county. Along the way, they passed by villages and towns, and the highest building they spotted only had ten floors.

  After driving on the expressway for about an hour, they finally reached the exit to the county they were headed to.

  When they exited the expressway, they found themselves cruising on a tar road next to mountains and seas. The scenery was breathtaking.

  Next to the foot of the mountains and about 500 meters away from the sea, with a vast and magnificent view as far as the eye can see.

  It made people feel relaxed and refreshed.

  “The tourism industry should be flourishing in this county, am I right?” Wen Xuxu looked at the chauffeur and asked him casually.

  The chauffeur nodded. “Yeah. Every summer, people from other parts of the country like to flock here for vacation. However, we’re surrounded by mountains so traveling is inconvenient. This county only has one road that leads outside. There’s a long stretch of road ahead which is next to the sea. Whenever there are strong winds and heavy rain, both the roads on land and sea will be sealed off.”


  He paused for a while and added, “However, part of the reason is due to the lack of support from the government. They embezzled all the funds.”


  Wen Xuxu listened and smiled without commenting.

  The chauffeur was straightforward and honest and he spoke the truth. However, the topic was about the government and their actions. It was advisable that she listened without making any remarks.

  Yan Rusheng and the Director of the business development department were also in the car and both of them had to deal with government officials.

  The road they were traveling on was only as wide as two vehicles. Wen Xuxu looked at it and couldn’t help but sigh.

  As the saying goes, to create wealth, the roads must be paved first.

  If the roads weren’t accessible enough, economic growth wouldn’t be able to catch up.

  Flourish & Prosper needed to factor in the traffic conditions if they were going to invest in this place.

  She suddenly glanced at Yan Rusheng and realized his face was pale and he looked unwell.

  She suddenly recalled that he’d get carsick easily.

  Especially if he was in a car sprayed with air freshener or perfume. Without fail, he would feel nauseous every time.

  “Hi, how much longer do we have to travel?”


  Wen Xuxu anxiously asked the chauffeur anxiously—she was worried that Yan Rusheng wouldn’t be able to endure it any longer.

  The chauffeur said, “We’re almost there, about half an hour more.”


  Almost there…… Half an hour more.

  Wen Xuxu was frustrated with his reply and looked at Yan Rusheng. She was still worried and asked, “President Yan, would you like some water?”


  “I don’t need it,” Yan Rusheng replied with frustration.

  His stomach was surging like a tidal wave and when he heard the chauffeur saying they still had half an hour left, his whole body immediately felt sick.

  Wen Xuxu’s mouth twitched. Since he’d declined, the only option left is to endure, she thought in her heart.

  The car finally left the tar road next to the sea and drove towards a cement road. It wasn’t as flat and smooth as the tar road, with bumps and hollows that were probably caused by large vehicles.

  This journey was the most torturous and agonizing moment in history for the precious Third Master Yan.

  The arduous journey took more than ten minutes.

  Amidst their anticipation, they finally reached the county’s development zone which was along the coast. The car stopped in the courtyard and Yan Rusheng opened the door right away and got down. He dashed to the side of a flower bed, squatted and started puking.

  “President Yan, are you alright?”


  Director Zhang of the business development department was stood behind Yan Rusheng and asked out of concern.

  Yan Rusheng didn’t reply. He pressed his throat and continued puking.

  His good-looking face was as pale as a sheet.

  “President Yan, drink some water to rinse out your mouth.”
