Chapter 548 246: Chen Family Stunned? News of Mao Tai?

Chen Kai was genuinely shaken by the antics of the Zheng father and son duo, and he had made up his mind to report this matter to Chu County as soon as possible, and then assign someone to keep an eye on the Chen Family's rapeseed fields.

What if the Chen Family's Flower Sea really is extraordinary?

After a moment, the group got back into the car to head to the Chen Family's place.

After accompanying the Zheng father and son to check in, Chen Kai hurried to the fields where the Chen Family had been planting. At that moment, there was nothing special to see, just ordinary fields where seeds had just been sown.

There was nothing to see yet.

However, a report was still necessary, so after getting back into the car and returning to the county, he headed to Chu County's office.

Chu Ping was reviewing the economic benefits brought by the recent popularity of Linhe County's Ancient City District over the past few days.

The results far exceeded his expectations.

With the rising attention online, many tourists flooded in; no wonder every place was eager to capitalize on the tourism boon, crazily trying to generate online buzz. Some places even had their cultural tourism directors dressed as women to dance.

And this year, he was confident that tourism would boost Linhe County's GDP.

Clearly, he wasn't aware that an even greater surprise awaited him.

Seeing Chen Kai enter, Chu Ping smiled and said, "I've looked over the data you sent over; it's very impressive, but we need to maintain the buzz around the Ancient City District."

Chen Kai nodded and then reported, "Chu County, the Chen Family's oilseed rape planting project has already commenced."

"It's started?" Chu Ping was surprised.

This was, after all, a merit asset collaboration between that rich magnate Liu Ye and the Chen Family, renting ten thousand acres of land. Therefore, he had been paying close attention to it all along.

However, this wasn't the usual season for planting oilseed rape, but Patriarch Chen claimed the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable had revealed it in a prophetic dream, adding an element of uncertainty to the matter.

Chen Kai continued, "Chu County, Mr. Zheng Sr. said he's met the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable before and is quite certain that if there's a prophetic dream involved, then the Chen Family's Flower Sea is bound to be extraordinary!"

"???" Chu Ping was clearly taken aback.

Mr. Zheng Sr. has met the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable?

He knew about Mr. Zheng Sr.'s arteriosclerosis condition. Previously, it was he who intervened to mediate for treatment, which the Chen Family agreed to provide.

Later, after two blessings, Mr. Zheng Sr.'s arteriosclerosis condition healed, which modern medicine couldn't cure.

Typically, Mr. Zheng Sr. would have undergone conservative treatment, waiting for the inevitable.

But regarding Mr. Zheng Sr. meeting the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable...

Considering the person's status and Mr. Zheng Sr.'s character, it's improbable he would joke about such matters.

So...

Chu Ping, without any hesitation, instructed Chen Kai, "Quickly arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Chen Family's rapeseed fields."

Chen Kai explained, "I have already instructed Section Chief Ma to personally oversee them as I was returning."

Chu Ping nodded, then proceeded to discuss Linhe County's tourism economy with Chen Kai.

Currently, it's the largest project endeavor for Linhe County.

While they were engaged in discussions, a secretary hurriedly came in, reporting, "Chu County, have a look at this video."

Chu Ping took the video with curiosity, only to see two Daoists in the footage, one elderly and one young, carrying something as they exited the train station.

Moreover, this train station turned out to be the one in their Linhe County.

Meaning these two Daoists were indeed headed for the Chen Family?

Chen Kai leaned over to watch the video and commented, "These Daoists seem to have brought something along. Prior to this, those following Daoist Chen were also stationed at the Chen Family's place all of a sudden, suggesting a possible connection."

Chu Ping nodded, "Therefore, we must constantly keep an eye on these developments; somehow, I sense complexity in this matter."

"Mm!" Chen Kai agreed.

…

By the afternoon, Chen Lin had already led a team to plant a large area. Typically, rapeseed would sprout within 2-4 days after planting, piercing the soil.

His nephew mentioned that their rapeseed grows even faster, so there might be lush greenery by tomorrow if seeded now.

Moreover, he had also given other seeds to Chairman Liu; they commenced planting in various villages by the afternoon, aiming to complete planting the ten thousand acres as swiftly as possible.

Similarly, the Chen Family dispatched personnel from the Demon Suppression Hall for oversight, prepared to immediately address any issues.

Simultaneous planting across several villages became a sizeable operation, which was captured in videos and uploaded online, garnering considerable tourist attention.

A female tourist, after watching the video, asked her driver to stop as they approached the Chen Family's area, to film a video just as the villagers were getting off to plant. From a distance, she inquired, "Uncle, what are you planting?"

The villager didn't hold back, "Rapeseed; the Chen Family is planting ten thousand acres, I heard they invested tens of millions."

"Ah? Rapeseed?" The tourist was surprised because she had visited other places to see Flower Seas of rapeseed, where the flowers had already withered.

It's past the season now.

However, this didn't deter her from posting on Tiao Yin.

The topic was trending on Tiao Yin, and surely, the Chen Family planting rapeseed off-season would capture a lot of attention, right?

Indeed, her video uploads drew a lot of interest afterward.

Planting rapeseed in this season was unrealistic.

Many people refuted her video.

"Isn't it fake?"

"Exactly, a figure like Chairman Liu wouldn't lack awareness of not planting rapeseed this season, right?"

"Even if it's just a tens of millions investment, wouldn't his corporation's analysis team know better?"

"Don't believe this video; I could hire a villager for $100 and film ten videos."

"I could do it for $50!"
