“Help me manage the planting techniques?” Wang Yan’s heart leaped with joy. She knew that previously, Liu Ruyan had always helped Lu Fan with these matters. Lu Fan asking her to return meant he no longer considered her an outsider! However… her current income would be gone!
Wang Yan had calculated her finances. At her current income, she earned nearly twenty thousand yuan a month! This was an astronomical sum for her, and she was reluctant to give up such a substantial income…
“Sigh! Alright! I’ll go back and help you!” Wang Yan said with a gritted resolve. She couldn’t help liking this young man. Sigh! It didn’t matter if she didn’t earn money! As long as she could be with him every day, she felt she had already profited!
“That’s good! Rest assured, after you return, you’ll earn even more than you do now,” Lu Fan nodded. Lu Fan knew that Liu Ruyan was not only the village chief but also the young lady of a prominent family. Even if he offered her a salary, she might not care. But Wang Yan was different; she needed to earn money.
“Really! That’s wonderful!” Wang Yan immediately pounced forward, throwing herself into Lu Fan’s embrace. In truth, this woman had wanted to hug Lu Fan for a long time but hadn’t found a suitable opportunity. Now that the chance had finally arrived, how could she miss it? Hugging Lu Fan, Wang Yan fiercely kissed him on the neck. You little rascal! I’ve missed you so much!
Lu Fan was startled and quickly pushed Wang Yan away. Why was this woman so fierce? She looked nothing like herself from the outside.
“Traitor… big traitor!” Fan Xue’er, standing nearby, rolled her eyes in anger. Hadn’t she agreed that no one would pay him any attention? This guy who prioritized romance over friendship… he should be my man! Hmph!
“Lu Fan! If you send Sister Wang Yan away, who will help me sell goods?” Fan Xue’er shouted indignantly.
“Don’t worry! Once I find someone, I’ll let Sister Wang Yan return. You guys carry on, I need to go check on the hotel,” Lu Fan said and turned to leave.
“Wait a moment!” Fan Xue’er suddenly called out, then ran over like a little rabbit, throwing herself into Lu Fan’s arms: “Lu Fan, I’m the only one left living in that big house now, and I’m scared!”
Fear was just an excuse; Fan Xue’er held onto Lu Fan and refused to let go. Ever since he opened the fruit store, this guy had been somewhat distant from her. What she feared was losing him.
“Uh… alright, I’ll figure something out!” Lu Fan was in a bit of a daze.
…
After leaving the fruit supermarket, Lu Fan went to the Yixiangge Hotel. Everything inside the hotel was as usual. Clearly, Bai Xuemei had made all the arrangements. Each floor had a store manager in charge, and the medicinal cuisine hall was staffed by an old Chinese physician. Of course, this old physician was also from the Bai family.
Lu Fan didn’t care who was in charge, as long as the medicinal ingredients were prepared according to his prescriptions and some of the ingredients were supplied by him. Other matters were not important. Besides, he didn’t have many of his own people at the moment.
Seeing that everything was in order, Lu Fan felt relieved. He rode his motorcycle back to the village.
It was just noon when he arrived at the village. Many villagers were returning from the fields and mountains to have lunch. Seeing Lu Fan, they all greeted him with joy.
“Xiao Fan is back! Haven’t you had lunch yet? Come to my place!”
“Xiao Fan! Auntie can introduce you to a girlfriend! My niece, she’s very pretty. And she has a job, earning over three thousand a month!”
“Xiao Fan! My niece is very beautiful, eighteen this year, a real flower. Why don’t I call her over tomorrow for you to see!”
…
Now, Lu Fan not only wanted to help the villagers get rich but also planned to develop Twelve Gully Village into a villa village. This matter had excited everyone in the village.
Liu Ruyan had already said that Lu Fan was leading everyone to prosperity, and later he would allow the villagers to buy villas at a very low price and live in them. However, if at that time, you still couldn’t afford it… then it would only be your own fault for being lazy and unwilling to work hard, for not being able to earn money. Such people would not receive any sympathy!
For so many years, the village had never produced anyone as remarkable as him. Therefore, the villagers now regarded Lu Fan as a deity. Who wouldn’t want to establish some connection with Lu Fan?
Lu Fan was grateful that he was riding a motorcycle. If he had been walking, the villagers would probably have followed him all the way home. He politely nodded and greeted the villagers, then accelerated his motorcycle and escaped back home. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his parents chatting with Li Jingjing and Wang Laowai in the yard.
“Mom and Dad! You’re back! Why didn’t you stay and play for a few more days!” Lu Fan shouted as he got off his motorcycle.
“You unfilial son! I heard you plan to build villas, costing tens of millions! Is that true?” As soon as Zhao Rongrong saw Lu Fan return, she rushed over and questioned him.
“Mom! It’s true! That designer Chu has already gone back to contact the construction company, and construction can begin soon,” Lu Fan said hurriedly.
“You… where did you get so much money? Did you rob a bank!?” Zhao Rongrong said in exasperation. This child was too much of a worry. He had only been away for a few days with his parents, and he had made such a big decision. That was tens of millions!
Didn’t they agree to build a new house and then arrange a marriage for their son? What kind of wife would require a villa worth tens of millions? Who could afford such a wife?
“Hehe! Mom! Don’t worry! Your son is so good, how could he rob a bank! You and Dad just wait to live in a villa mansion!” Lu Fan laughed. It seemed a bit difficult to make his mother accept this reality immediately, after all, she hadn’t seen more than a hundred thousand yuan in half her life.
“Hehe! I believe in my son! Hehe!” Lu Changfu chuckled from the side. This was simply like a dream; could he really live in a villa one day?!
After lunch, Lu Fan went to the back mountain. He walked around the back mountain and then headed towards the depths of the mountains.
Whoosh… whoosh… in the distance behind Lu Fan, a figure appeared and disappeared intermittently. If Lu Fan could see this person, he would definitely recognize him as the suddenly disappeared Elder Ma!
Lu Fan sprinted all the way, not stopping at the stone tablet of Luoyan Gate, but heading even deeper.
Swish… the tall grass in the graveyard behind Luoyan Gate suddenly rustled. A disheveled person wearing a tattered Taoist robe suddenly emerged. If Lu Fan were present, he would definitely recognize this guy as that lecherous old Taoist.
The lecherous old Taoist seemed to have just woken up. He yawned and stumbled out of the graveyard, blocking Elder Ma’s path.
