Lying in bed, Li Xiuli threw her warm body into Zhan Lingfeng's arms, clearly feeling emotional as she tightly hugged him.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Lingfeng noticed her state and asked.
"Xiu, you're amazing; you understand everything, don't you?"
Zhan Lingfeng smiled, realizing that she was once again surprised by what he had said about the restaurant business and development today, which made him feel even more proud of himself.
At that moment, Zhan Lingfeng felt a surge of pride and pulled Li Xiuli into his embrace, kissing her.
Yesterday, Li Xiuli seemed shy, but today was different; she had become passionate and responded eagerly.
Not only that, but she also took the initiative to remove her clothes and helped Zhan Lingfeng do the same.
Having never been this proactive before, Li Xiuli seemed to want to express her relationship with Zhan Lingfeng in this way.
This girl!
In a flash, Zhan Lingfeng understood Li Xiuli's thoughts. She had always harbored extreme insecurity. Although she was now in his home and he treated her well, seeing him accomplish so many things she had never even considered made her feel a growing distance between them. Naturally, she wanted to strengthen their relationship.
"Son-in-law, you will always be my woman, and I will always care for and look after you."
Although Li Xiuli didn't say anything in response to this, she appeared so proactive as she joined with Zhan Lingfeng.
When they woke up the next day, Zhan Lingfeng saw a radiant Li Xiuli.
"Xiu, hurry up and eat; we have school."
Zhan Lingfeng pinched her on the backside and said, "You look so energetic today."
Li Xiuli quickly glanced outside and playfully urged, "Hurry up; don’t be late!"
"Mom, we definitely can't turn all our land into aquaculture. We should set aside about a thousand acres to plant rice. The demand for our restaurant will be significant in the future."
"Alright, I'll take care of it. Your dad might be back in a day or two; I'll have him keep an eye on things for you since I can't manage everything."
Walking along the mountain path, Zhan Lingfeng smiled at Li Xiuli and said, "It really doesn't hurt anymore. You were quite fierce last night."
"You just like to bully me!"
Perhaps it was because she had gone through that experience, but Li Xiuli seemed very spirited.
"Drink this vial of medicine."
Zhan Lingfeng handed her the Healing Liquid he had prepared using the Medicine Cauldron.
Li Xiuli didn't ask what it was; she took it and drank it down.
"Aren't you going to ask what it is? Aren't you afraid I poisoned you?"
"Anyway, I'm your woman. You can do whatever you want."
Zhan Lingfeng stepped forward and let Li Xiuli climb onto his back, then he took off swiftly into the distance.
At Zhan Lingfeng's level, carrying a girl was really not much of a burden.
"Xiu, I don't hurt anymore. Really, let me down."
"That's a healing medicine. Once you drink it, you'll feel better naturally. Since there's no one around here, let me check you over."
"No!"
Li Xiuli felt sweet in her heart. She suddenly realized that although this man was quite flirtatious, he also spoke in a way that made her feel happy. She had never felt so relaxed and joyful before.
Originally, they were supposed to take a winding mountain path, but under Zhan Lingfeng's swift pace, they arrived in just about twenty minutes.
After the two entered the classroom, the looks from their classmates towards them had changed somewhat.
During the third class, Wei Xionggui came in, glanced at everyone, and then looked at Zhan Lingfeng, saying, "Zhan Lingfeng, come out for a moment."
After he stepped outside, Wei Xionggui said, "The Deputy Township Head from Countryside has arrived and wants to see you. The principal is accompanying him."
Zhan Lingfeng was surprised that He Zhenxiong had come. When he arrived at the principal's office, the principal smiled and said, "Zhan Lingfeng, the Township Head wants to talk to you. You can go now."
Once He Zhenxiong left the school, Zhan Lingfeng remarked, "Is it that urgent?"
He Zhenxiong replied, "I've discussed what you mentioned with the two leaders. They would like you to come over and hear your thoughts directly. Have you thought it through?"
"Yes, I've been thinking about it for a long time. It all depends on Countryside now."
Soon, when the two entered the Secretary's office, they saw that the two leaders had already been waiting there.
"Zhan Lingfeng, this is Secretary Ke He Ping and this is Township Head Jiang Huiyu."
Although they had heard He Zhenxiong introduce Zhan Lingfeng's situation, they still looked at He Zhenxiong with a special gaze.
Zhan Lingfeng respectfully greeted them, saying, "Hello, leaders."
"You mentioned you want to open a restaurant?"
"It’s my mother who wants to open it; I’m just here to discuss matters," Zhan Lingfeng said with a smile.
The two smiled at each other, naturally aware of the situation regarding what Zhan Lingfeng had said.
"We have already confirmed your situation with a call to the village," Ke He Ping said with a smile on his face.
Looking at the obviously young beauty, the Township Head, who was only in her twenties, Zhan Lingfeng was also surprised. A Township Head at such a young age did not come from an ordinary family background and should be taken seriously.
"Since both leaders are aware of my situation, let me share my thoughts. Currently, I have contracted six thousand acres of land in the village. I plan to plant tea on one thousand acres of mountainous land and gradually expand to create a Tea Garden. The development of the Tea Garden takes time; although it involves old trees, it will take at least a year before it can yield benefits. This is not urgent. On another thousand acres, I plan to grow grains and vegetables. For the remaining land, I will engage in some livestock farming. You probably know about the projects I am working on. Even if transportation is inconvenient, I will ask the villagers to help carry the products out. Once they are out, besides City and Dawn Noodles coming to purchase them, we will handle the rest ourselves. To do that, we need to develop a restaurant business. My first step is to acquire a piece of land and turn it into a comprehensive dining and entertainment venue."
Zhan Lingfeng explained his plans.
Jiang Huiyu frowned slightly and said, "Some people have succeeded in the restaurant industry while others have not. Can you guarantee that you will succeed?"
Zhan Lingfeng smiled and replied, "Whether I succeed or not is my own business. What I need from the countryside is favorable policies and a piece of land for development. If I fail, that’s my loss; if I succeed, it will greatly benefit the economic development of the countryside. What do you think?"
Ke He Ping smiled and said, "I heard you plan to invest one million. Can you afford that?"
"I can't; I can only provide half of that amount right now. However, as you know my situation, once it develops, I will have continuous financial support."
Ke He Ping nodded and said, "The countryside supports this project. The land issue is easy to resolve; there is a piece of idle land on the west side of the township that was requisitioned for factory construction but was left unused. It covers a large area—about five acres—and we can offer it to you for one hundred thousand yuan. As for favorable policies, the countryside certainly encourages this; you will be exempt from taxes for three years."
Zhan Lingfeng nodded and said, "If possible, let's handle the paperwork now so that I can get the Construction Team started as soon as possible. By the way, we will need help from the countryside with water and electricity."
