At noon, the scene of eating wild boar meat reappeared in Zhuxi Village, with tables lined up from Cheng Xiaofan's doorstep.
Hosting such a grand opening banquet, it was unprecedented not only in Zhuxi Village but likely within a hundred-mile radius.
The old yellow ox, adorned with a red flower, and its calves were arranged in the most conspicuous spots, being fed warm water-soaked soybeans and tofu dregs.
Po Tianying and Tao Qibao were naturally not forgotten and had their own special delicacies.
Just as everyone was seated and about to begin the feast, a buzzing sound came from overhead.
Everyone looked up and saw a red helicopter flying towards them.
As they curiously observed the helicopter, a long red ribbon suddenly unfurled from it.
Written on the red ribbon in large golden characters was: Warm congratulations to Cheng Xiaofan on a successful grand opening!
"Xiaofan, come out and see!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan was inside busy moving a case of beer when he heard his father's booming voice from outside.
Recently, after consuming the super nutritious bok choy and Fruit of Life, Cheng Fugui's health had visibly improved, and his voice was full of vigor.
Cheng Xiaofan rushed to the door and looked up, stunned by the sight of the helicopter in the sky and the words on the red ribbon.
"Xiaofan, is this one of your friends who heard about your grand opening and came to congratulate you?" Cheng Fugui asked his son.
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "None of my friends have a helicopter!"
He scratched his head and added, "Regarding the grand opening, apart from the villagers, I haven't told anyone outside!"
At this moment, the helicopter circled three times above Zhuxi Village before returning to hover above Cheng Xiaofan's house.
Whoosh!
A large cloud of colorful confetti was sprayed from the helicopter, forming words in the air: May Zhuxi Village prosper from now on!
The villagers of Zhuxi Village erupted in thunderous applause.
"This must be Xiaofan's friends coming to congratulate him!"
"Who is this friend of Xiaofan's? The red helicopter, red ribbon, and these words formed by colorful confetti are so festive!"
"Today is truly a good day!"
"In all my years, I've never seen Zhuxi Village so lively!"
"This time, Xiaofan's return has brought hope to our Zhuxi Village!"
Amidst the villagers' chatter, the words in the air gradually disappeared, and the colorful confetti drifted down to the ground.
At the same time, the helicopter slowly began to descend.
Moments later, the helicopter landed in an open space not far from Cheng Xiaofan's house.
In the blink of an eye, two young women of extraordinary grace, as if celestial beings descended, emerged from the aircraft.
Both were dressed in red tight-fitting casual wear, their hair tied in a ponytail with a red silk ribbon, and they wore exquisite casual shoes.
The appearance of the two stunning beauties was like two flickering flames, adding further festivity to the grand opening banquet.
The two women approached Cheng Xiaofan. One of them, with a smile as beautiful as a flower, said, "You must be Mr. Cheng Xiaofan, right?"
Cheng Xiaofan scratched his head, bewildered, and asked, "You know me?"
Then it dawned on him, could these two beautiful women be fans from his live stream?
As he was thinking, the woman smiled and said, "Director Bai showed us videos of you, so of course, we recognize you!"
"My name is Fu Yueli, and her name is Gu Jingyue!"
"We are both assistants to Director Bai!"
"The Director Bai you're referring to, is it Bai Yiling?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Fu Yueli nodded and replied, "Indeed!"
"This morning, Director Bai saw your grand opening ceremony in the vegetable patch on your live stream and specifically asked my sister and me to come and congratulate you."
Saying this, she took out a check and handed it to Cheng Xiaofan, "Oh, this is a gift of ten million yuan from our Director Bai!"
Boom!
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone sitting nearby was stunned!
What kind of person gives away ten million yuan so casually?
Cheng Xiaofan took the check and examined it carefully.
It was indeed ten million yuan!
Bai Yiling was truly generous!
Her gift surprised Cheng Xiaofan.
Was such a large sum of money intended as a reward for saving her life?
"Why didn't your Director Bai come in person?" Although internally shocked, as a inheritor of Shen Nong, Cheng Xiaofan remained outwardly calm.
This also earned him admiration from everyone present.
Indeed, he was a person destined for great things, with an extraordinary demeanor.
If such a large sum of money had fallen into someone else's hands, they would have gone mad with joy!
Fu Yueli said, "Our Director Bai is very busy right now. Once she has completely settled all matters at the company, she will come to Zhuxi Village to live long-term. She wants to be with her mother from now on!"
Miao Xiuhua, who had been sitting quietly by the side, her eyes filled with tears upon hearing this, suddenly perked up.
She hurried forward to Fu Yueli and choked out, "Young lady, you said my daughter Yiling will come to Zhuxi Village in a couple of days to live with me permanently?"
"Ah, so you are our Director Bai's mother!"
Fu Yueli quickly took Gu Jingyue's hand and they both bowed deeply to Miao Xiuhua, "Auntie, Gu Jingyue and I pay our respects!"
"Our Director Bai said she will definitely come in two days."
Miao Xiuhua said emotionally, "Thank you, two young ladies. Hearing you say this, I don't know how happy I am!"
"I knew she would come, and she's really coming!"
There was no need to ask; Cheng Xiaofan understood. Bai Yiling's promise to invest in the construction of Bailong Lake was not just talk; she intended to do it here.
At this moment, although he appeared calm, his heart was in turmoil.
This Bai Yiling was truly a remarkable woman!
An ordinary woman would never act like this.
"Xiaofan, don't just stand there, invite the two ladies to be seated!"
Miao Xiuhua, seeing her son lost in thought, immediately said with displeasure.
Cheng Xiaofan quickly turned to Fu Yueli and Gu Jingyue and said, "Two beautiful ladies, please have a seat. This is a village banquet, not as exquisite as those in city hotels, please make do and try it!"
Gu Jingyue, who had not spoken before, smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are truly modest. Our Director Bai said that not only are the fruits and vegetables you cultivate exceptionally delicious and nutritious, but your cooking skills are also extraordinary!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "Your Director Bai is too kind!"
Fu Yueli said, "Mr. Cheng, Gu Jingyue and I have another task from Director Bai. We need to measure the distance from Zhuxi Village to Bailong Lake!"
"At the same time, we need to design blueprints based on the terrain along the way, for ease of construction!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Changsheng, who was sitting nearby, looked at Cheng Xiaofan with a shocked expression and said excitedly and somewhat incoherently, "Xiaofan, you... have you found Bailong Lake already?"
