When Cheng Xiaofan arrived in the provincial capital, he had already told his White Goddess the reason. He knew that if it weren't for a special situation, she wouldn't call him so readily.
He quickly said, "Yiling, I'm in the provincial capital. Is there something going on at home?"
Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Xiaofan, it's nothing. Tomorrow, Shen Ruobing will be invited to the provincial capital to participate in the National Furniture Exhibition. This afternoon, I will accompany her."
"The address of the furniture exhibition is in Ao Feng Park. I checked it on my phone's map, and it's right across from the Provincial Overseas Affairs Office where you are!"
Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and say, "That's quite a coincidence. You're right, I'm right across from Ao Feng Park."
"Why don't you come over in the morning? A mentor of mine from university in the capital is coming to see me. Please bring more drunken chicken and happy wine from Mom!"
Bai Yiling listened and smiled, "Okay, I'll tell Ruobing, and we'll leave right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiaofan went into Ao Feng Park opposite.
At this moment, he noticed a lot of people gathered in the park, setting up exhibition halls. It was estimated that construction started last night, and the general shape was already emerging.
The entire park was decorated like a festive occasion, with red streamers, lanterns, and slogans hanging everywhere.
Cheng Xiaofan hurried over and found at the propaganda board that the invited exhibitors for this furniture exhibition were all nationally renowned furniture masters.
He immediately spotted Shen Ruobing's name among them.
However, her ranking was towards the end of the list.
This showed that Shen Ruobing's fame in the furniture industry back in C City was due to the quality of her furniture and her personal charm.
Her furniture did not yet have distinctive characteristics or something that would truly catch people's eyes.
Her invitation to exhibit was merely based on her personal reputation.
Cheng Xiaofan was well aware that the furniture exhibition held in the provincial capital this time was of considerable importance, both for Shen Ruobing herself and for Zhuxi Village.
If Shen Ruobing could win the championship at this furniture exhibition, the furniture industry of Zhuxi Village would develop vigorously from then on.
Walking around the park, Cheng Xiaofan found that the areas for each exhibitor had basically been arranged.
What he found somewhat frustrating was that Shen Ruobing's exhibition area was located in a completely inconspicuous corner.
This spot was right next to a dense patch of trees.
Yesterday, Cheng Xiaofan had just eliminated five demon cultivators in this very spot.
Clearly, the people exhibiting here were like the ranking of the heroes of Liangshan Marsh in the past, where seniority mattered.
Of course, it was not excluded that some people might have gotten in through backdoors or connections. Sometimes, even if you had a certain reputation, it didn't mean you would be put on the list in an industry.
Everyone was aware of the unwritten rules within certain industries.
However, seeing Shen Ruobing's exhibition spot placed in this inconspicuous corner did not anger Cheng Xiaofan at all.
Since his White Goddess and Shen Ruobing were expected to arrive here at noon, Cheng Xiaofan walked into the dense forest and plunged into the Shennong Space.
He added a few more dishes in the space to avoid not having enough to eat.
After all, the delicacies he made in the space could not be tasted by anyone except those very close to Cheng Xiaofan.
Even the most reserved woman would become insatiably hungry and eat ravenously when faced with delicacies from the space.
"Mr. Cheng, why are you here?" After emerging from the space, as Cheng Xiaofan walked out of the woods, he heard a familiar beautiful voice calling out to him.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Meilina walking towards him, arm in arm with Jin Yanyun.
"Mr. Cheng, aren't you going to the market to do some shopping?" Meilina asked with a radiant smile.
"..." Cheng Xiaofan's face broke out in a cold sweat. He was truly speechless!
How did he run into these two people here of all places!
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaofan was not an ordinary person. With a quick turn of his eyes, he immediately said with a beaming smile, "I didn't expect to run into you here. I just received a call from my girlfriend and she's coming here for the furniture exhibition. I came specifically to take a look!"
He pointed to the sign in the exhibition area: "Shen Ruobing here is the head of furniture production for the company in my village!"
"My girlfriend will accompany her here at noon!"
Jin Yanyun heard this and her delicate eyebrows knitted together. "How did the organizers arrange this? They put the furniture exhibition for Mr. Cheng's office in such a remote corner?"
"Yes, this place is too remote!" Meilina echoed with great dissatisfaction.
Jin Yanyun said, "Mr. Cheng, I'll arrange for someone to change the location immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan immediately said, "Miss Jin, good wine needs no bush. I think this place is actually very good. Please don't change the location for me!"
"You know, if a hit furniture piece comes out from such a place, it will have a truly sensational effect, don't you think?"
"Alright, Mr. Cheng, we'll listen to you then!" Jin Yanyun could also detect a hint of anger in Cheng Xiaofan's tone.
However, she also knew that since he had said so, there was no need to make any further plans.
"You two enjoy yourselves here. I have some business to attend to, so I'll be leaving!" Cheng Xiaofan's meaning was clear: I need to go buy ingredients, don't disturb me any further.
As for how I emerged from the woods, don't ask.
"Mr. Cheng, you go ahead and be busy!" In fact, both beauties knew that Mr. Cheng's emergence from the woods was just to take care of his personal needs.
There was no need to make a fuss about it!
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan left, Meilina couldn't help but curiously ask Jin Yanyun, "Miss Jin, I heard Mr. Cheng mention his girlfriend, and his tone seemed particularly happy. Have you met his girlfriend?"
Jin Yanyun smiled and said, "I haven't met Mr. Cheng's girlfriend, but I've seen her in his live broadcast videos."
"His girlfriend's name is Bai Yiling. She was once a royal princess in a historical TV drama, which made her an instant hit. But she immediately left the entertainment industry and returned to C City to start a business!"
"This Bai Yiling is a business prodigy. In less than two years, she became a prominent figure in the business world."
"A few years later, by chance, Bai Yiling met Cheng Xiaofan. She immediately transferred her group company and invested billions of yuan into the development of Cheng Xiaofan's hometown!"
After hearing Jin Yanyun's introduction to Bai Yiling, Meilina said with great envy, "This Bai Yiling really has the advantage of being close to the water. If I were in China, I would have rushed to get Mr. Cheng before her!"
"Perhaps fate has a special fondness for me. Mr. Cheng was supposed to return this afternoon, but because of the furniture exhibition, he has to stay here."
"..." Jin Yanyun suddenly became stunned!
Could this Meilina actually be completely smitten with Cheng Xiaofan?
