Ling Zhenfei was busy contacting people from Binyang. The first person he reached out to was his sister-in-law, Zhou Yun, telling her that he had returned and brought Chunyu with him, and they would be arriving home today, so she should prepare for their arrival.
The second person he called was Long Hai. On this return, he had decided that he must resolve the matter of the Imperial Palace Club once and for all to avoid being targeted everywhere. While he himself didn't mind, it wouldn't be good if the assassins went after his family as leverage.
Long Hai, thrilled to hear that Ling Zhenfei had returned, asked when they could meet. Ling Zhenfei planned to visit the village first as Xishan Manor had a new addition, Chen Qian, whose input was vital for the manor's development. Therefore, he decided to meet Long Hai tomorrow, and after confirming the time with each other, they ended the call.
By the time Ling Zhenfei finished all his preparations, Fatty and Chunyu had already picked out a car—a Jeep Wrangler, no less. The vehicle was great, albeit a bit pricey,
with good performance and features, and most importantly, Chunyu loved it at first sight. Hence, Ling Zhenfei decided to go ahead and buy it. However, he then realized that the funds in his card were insufficient, and with no other option, he borrowed some money from Fatty, promising to repay him as soon as possible.
After completing the paperwork, it was already noon. He had a quick lunch with Fatty and then drove the new car with Chunyu toward the direction of the manor.
It didn't take long for Ling Zhenfei and Chunyu to reach the village. Since he had called ahead, Zhou Yun was already waiting at the entrance. Seeing how beautiful and well-mannered Chunyu was, Zhou Yun was naturally overjoyed. As they talked about Chunyu's sad past, tears couldn't help but fall, and she held onto Chunyu's hand without letting go.
Chunyu felt a bit unfamiliar with Zhou Yun but had an innate closeness to her and didn't feel afraid. In no time at all, she became quite friendly with Zhou Yun.
Ling Zhenfei didn't want to delay their bonding, so he took a walk around Xishan Manor. He had already noticed from the car that there had been massive changes to the manor, changes that were quite alarming to him.
The manor had essentially become a huge construction site, with the number of workers multiplying and all areas, except for the existing greenhouses, under construction. Various large machinery buzzed through the manor, their roars deafening.
Ling Zhenfei was genuinely surprised. These construction workers were obviously professional crews, and the equipment they used was advanced and never before seen in the manor, which previously only had Li Ermeng and some workers building greenhouses with much simpler equipment.
Li Ermeng was discussing something with a foreman at a nearby construction site, and Ling Zhenfei hurriedly approached.
"Brother Er Meng, what's going on here?"
Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, Li Ermeng was slightly surprised, "Zhenfei, it's like this. You might not know, but President Chen has brought in a professional construction team to accelerate the project. I'm currently discussing construction matters with the foreman."
President Chen? Ling Zhenfei realized instantly that this must have been arranged by Chen Qian. When he had gone to Modu, he had made a brief call to Zhou Yun to introduce Chen Qian, and Zhou Yun, fully aware of Chen Qian's importance, followed all of his arrangements, making everyone at the manor treat Chen Qian as the deputy president Ling Zhenfei had appointed.
"Where is Chen Qian now?" Ling Zhenfei needed to find Chen Qian right away to discuss the current grand construction of Xishan Manor and find out Chen Qian's specific plans.
"President Chen is in the office now," Li Ermeng said, pointing towards the distant office building.
Ling Zhenfei quickly headed towards the office, pushed the door open upon arrival, and saw Chen Qian standing in front of a desk, carefully examining the blueprints. Hearing someone enter, he looked up promptly.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei, Chen Qian smiled, "The busy man returns. Come on in!"
Although it was only the second time he met with Ling Zhenfei, it felt like they had known each other for more than a decade. Ling Zhenfei could only walk over and saw the blueprint Chen Qian was studying.
An entire Ba Xian table was covered with blueprints, densely packed with terrain maps and numerous markings.
Ling Zhenfei could tell at a glance that the map depicted the terrain around Xishan Manor, even including their entire village. The scope was very broad.
Ling Zhenfei was very surprised and didn't understand what Chen Qian meant. Was it really necessary to use such a large blueprint, with such detailed surveying, just for the construction of Xishan Manor?
"What are you looking at here?" Ling Zhenfei was very curious.
Chen Qian pointed to the terrain on the map and showed Ling Zhenfei, "Look at the terrain of your village. It's like a dragon lying and a tiger crouching, definitely a feng shui treasure land, bound to produce great figures. It would be such a waste not to make good use of such great feng shui."
Ling Zhenfei laughed after hearing this, "I thought you were joking about being a fortune-teller, but I really didn't expect you to not only be a fortune-teller but also a feng shui master!"
Chen Qian also smiled brightly, "Of course, I told you before that I could foresee and you didn't believe me. Look at this terrain map; I've been studying it for several days now. I already have a preliminary construction plan. If it's executed well, having an outstanding person emerge is definitely not a problem. Do you want to analyze it together?"
"Is that necessary? You brought in the construction crew already, it doesn't seem like you're here to discuss it with me," Ling Zhenfei feigned reluctance.
"Then you're mistaken, this construction crew is here to build the greenhouses, and I haven't asked the other construction crews to come yet. When they do, that will be the grand scene."
Ling Zhenfei was somewhat surprised because the number of construction workers he had seen was already quite significant. He had not expected them to be just the first group, solely for constructing greenhouses. What kind of grand plan did Chen Qian have?
"How big a plan do you actually have? Don't scare me."
Without speaking, Chen Qian stood up, poured a glass of water for Ling Zhenfei, placed the water in his hands, and said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry, have some water and listen to me explain slowly."
"Please do!" Ling Zhenfei drank the water, ready to listen to Chen Qian's explanation.
"I've tried the vegetables from your manor, and they are indeed very good, very marketable. Sister Li Ru has already told me about it. At first, I was skeptical, thinking, it's just vegetables, what could be so different, but now I truly believe it, and I am convinced that there is great potential in this area."
Ling Zhenfei nodded confidently, "That's for sure."
Chen Qian didn't pick up on Ling Zhenfei's response and continued, "Since Sister Li Ru asked me to come here, and she has praised you to the skies, I have also tested you, and you have passed my test. So, we should treat each other honestly and become the best of partners."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "You're right, I am also very much looking forward to becoming the best of partners with you. Since Sister Li Ru and Brother Chu think so highly of you, I trust you a lot too."
