``` "Serves them right!" Zhang Menglong had no sympathy for the people of this nation, in fact, he despised this despicable nation to his very bones. Of course, that didn't mean he would denounce all the people of Qingqiu Country; there were, for example, a few female celebrities from Qingqiu Country that he quite liked. For instance, Lee Ji-eun and Larisa. Zhang Menglong had been a big fan of these two female stars from Qingqiu Country since his school days, and even in Huaxia, they enjoyed immense popularity. Saying that they were irresistible to both men and women wouldn't be an overstatement. "Mr. Zhang, what are you smiling about?" Hong Yi suddenly noticed a sleazy smile on Zhang Menglong's face and got the feeling that he was probably thinking about something unhealthy. "Nothing," Zhang Menglong laughed awkwardly. "Mr. Zhang, this isn't the Island Country; there aren't any brothels for you to visit here, and besides, Teacher Momotani isn't at Tiger's Den brothel anymore, so even if you went there, you wouldn't see her." "Damn it! How do you know all this?" "Ah, no, I mean, what are you talking about?" Zhang Menglong quickly changed his tone. This was all stuff he used to shoot the breeze about with his roommates back in school. How could Hong Yi know about it? Could it have been Ye Yin's doing? "That guy must be seeking personal revenge!" Zhang Menglong gnashed his teeth in anger, certain it was because that day he had got Ye Yin to steal those things, so Ye Yin held a grudge. Yes, that had to be it! "Hong Yi, I've noticed you've changed," Zhang Menglong lamented, "You weren't like this before. Can we keep things pure, please? I swear, I was absolutely not thinking about those things!" "I can vouch for Mr. Zhang, he really wasn't thinking about those things!" Ye Yin suddenly popped out from behind him. In this subzero environment, Ye Yin was still dressed as though it were autumn in Huaxia. "You're really something else. Aren't you going to freeze to death? Getting older makes one prone to rheumatism and arthritis. I won't cover this as a work-related injury!" Ever since the first time Ye Yin appeared, Zhang Menglong would occasionally call him out for a chat or idle talk, but Ye Yin was a smooth talker, usually leaving Zhang Menglong to enthusiastically talk to himself while Ye Yin would just stand by like a wooden figure listening to his nonsense. But the two of them were getting more familiar with each other, and Zhang Menglong no longer put on airs of a young master. "However, Mr. Zhang was thinking about a couple of female celebrities named Lee Ji-eun and Larisa." "Damn, how do you know that?" Zhang Menglong blurted out instinctively, "Ye Yin, do you have telepathy or something?" "Holy shit, that exciting?" Zhang Menglong was just talking casually, he didn't expect Mao Xionghui to actually be serious, "I'm just joking around, I have a girlfriend!" "So what? A man like you, Mr. Zhang, how could you only have one woman? Your father is an exception, marrying only your mother, but your grandfather had 28 lovers, and your great-grandfather had a total of 108 wives, including many princesses and queens!" "And yet our family still has only one heir for each generation?" Zhang Menglong was puzzled now. "Hahaha, the Zhang family's genes can't just be given away willy-nilly. Aside from the legitimate wife, who else has the qualifications to serve the elders in your family, let alone dare to hope for offspring?" "This is just like being an emperor." "What's so great about being an emperor, having to attend morning court and deal with national affairs," Mao Xionghui said, "Anyway, how about that matter we were discussing earlier?" "That won't be easy, will it?" Zhang Menglong's expression showed difficulty. "What's so difficult about it," Mao Xionghui pointed at the city with its neon lights and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you know where this is?" "Qiuyuan, the capital of Qingqiu Country," Zhang Menglong answered. "The area of Qiuyuan is about 600 square kilometers, but among that, there are 60 square kilometers of land that belongs to you!" "What the heck?" Zhang Menglong was utterly stunned, he was here to work on the country's economy, and suddenly he learned about such a fortune? "Right!" Zhang Menglong suddenly remembered something Hong Yi had said, his family's ancestors had started investing in land and real estate a long time ago, owning their own land in many countries around the world. "Long before this country was established, one of your ancestors had already bought the central area of Qiuyuan, including the government building, several of the largest banks, the biggest corporations, schools, hospitals, they're all built on your land!" "Holy shit, ruthless!" Zhang Menglong couldn't help but exclaim, this plot twist reminded him of "My Love from the Star," where that alien professor also bought land in this country a long time ago. "So, if you want this land back, do you think they'd be willing to give it up?" "They'd be possessed to agree!" Zhang Menglong said, not knowing how much money had been spent on all the facilities on this land. "But if you really want it, even if they're unwilling, they'll have to be willing!" Mao Xionghui declared, "So, any demands you make of them, as long as you're not asking for their lives and sovereignty, they can't refuse. As for those female stars, shining on stage, in this country, they're just puppets in the hands of those with power." "Thrilling!" As a man, Zhang Menglong admitted that at that moment, he was indeed a bit tempted!
