However, Cheng Xiaofan knew that this call was likely related to those people who wanted to open a sanatorium at White Python Lake.
He immediately pressed the answer button.
Then, Zhang Heng's voice came from the phone.
"Xiaofan, are you still in the capital?"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "Yes, Wu meimei and I just finished breakfast and are about to leave!"
"Teacher, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"
Zhang Heng said, "Xiaofan, I contacted those people last night and conveyed your message to them."
"To my surprise, as soon as I got the news, they couldn't wait and set off last night."
"I estimate they will arrive at your place this morning."
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "Great, thank you, teacher!"
Zhang Heng said with a wry smile, "It's my fault for causing you trouble, why are you thanking me!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "Those people are rushing to Zhuxi Village to give me a gift, how can I not thank the teacher?"
"..." Zhang Heng was utterly speechless upon hearing this.
Why did this kid always have his mind on receiving gifts?
He didn't know what kind of gifts those people would give Cheng Xiaofan.
Zhang Heng said, "Xiaofan, when you deal with them, you still need to be mindful of your boundaries."
"Although they are all people who are about to retire, they are all renowned old foxes, very shrewd."
"Unlike Fu Mingyan, you can deal with them directly."
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "Teacher, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Zhang Heng said, "I won't chat with you any longer, hurry back as soon as possible!"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "Okay, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiaofan and Wu Shengnan left the hotel.
He got into her car and said, "Wu meimei, drive the car to the woods on the side of the park ahead and park it. Potian is waiting for me there!"
Wu Shengnan nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, husband!"
The car drove to the side of the park, and Cheng Xiaofan got out.
He said to Wu Shengnan, "Don't get out to see me off, I'm going back."
"If I have time, I'll come to the capital to see you."
"Or, like last time, I'll have Potian Eagle pick you up to my place!"
Wu Shengnan said with a smile, "Husband, thank you!"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "You are my woman, what is there to thank!"
"Alright, no more talking, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Wu Shengnan waved to him.
...
"Screech—"
Not long after, Potian Eagle, carrying Cheng Xiaofan, flew over Zhuxi Village.
At this time, Bai Yiling, Shen Ruobing, and the others had already gone to work.
Since there was nothing to do when he got home, Cheng Xiaofan had Potian Eagle land on the bamboo pavilion on the back mountain.
He brewed a large pot of Golden Tea, poured himself a cup, then lay in the rocking chair and lit a cigarette.
He hummed a tune, taking a puff of smoke and a sip of tea.
He felt that his life was truly leisurely.
When would he be able to live a truly leisurely life of a descendant of Shennong?
Ding ding ding!
As he was pondering this question, his phone rang.
Cheng Xiaofan took out his phone and saw a string of unfamiliar numbers.
He pressed the answer button and asked lazily, "Hello, who is this?"
Then, a hoarse voice came from the phone, "Hello, are you Cheng Xiaofan?"
"My name is Cao Degui, I'm coming from the capital!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "That's right, I am Cheng Xiaofan."
"Who is this Cao Degui? I don't think I know you."
Cao Degui said with a smile, "Cheng Xiaofan, do you know Zhang Heng?"
Cheng Xiaofan had already guessed why this person was calling but deliberately said, "Zhang Heng is my teacher, of course I know him. Do you know my teacher?"
Cao Degui said, "Yes, your teacher and I are old friends."
"Your phone number was given to me by Zhang Heng."
"I came to Zhuxi Village with a group of friends to investigate, and we plan to open a Chinese sanatorium at your White Python Lake."
"I presume your teacher has already told you about this?"
Cheng Xiaofan said "oh" and immediately said, "Yes, I was at my teacher's place in the capital last night, and he told me about this."
"Are you still in the capital?"
"Please hurry up and come over."
"I'm too busy. If you come too late, I might be abroad again!"
"Without me in Zhuxi Village, no one will dare to agree to your matters!"
Cao Degui hurriedly said, "Cheng Xiaofan, we have already arrived at Zhuxi Village, but at a village archway at the entrance, for some reason, the car can't get in."
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but sneer.
It would be strange if you, these old guys with ulterior motives, could drive in.
Fortunately, you didn't come to Zhuxi Village to commit murder.
Otherwise, you would have been entangled by the Heavenly Dao Talismans I set up long ago and would have all fainted on the ground, unconscious.
You're too naive to challenge me!
With this thought, Cheng Xiaofan finally spoke, "It's okay, try again, maybe you can drive in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his hand.
An invisible dragon force swept towards the Golden Village Archway at the village entrance.
In a blink of an eye, he heard Cao Degui say on the phone, "Hey, that's strange, the car can start and drive in now."
"Cheng Xiaofan, can you come to the village entrance to greet us!"
Cheng Xiaofan said loudly, "I'm in a bamboo pavilion on the back mountain, busy with something, and can't get away temporarily."
"How about this, you drive the car to the back mountain and find me!"
Cao Degui said, "Where is the back mountain? We can't find it!"
Cheng Xiaofan pouted and said, "The road is in your mouth. Once you enter the village, you can ask the villagers. Do I need to teach you this!"
Slap!
With that, he hung up the phone.
Cao Degui was furious.
He said to the people around him, "This kid is too arrogant, he actually wants us to go into the village to find him."
"Is there such a thing? Did Zhang Heng not tell him our situation?"
"Is this kid relying on his own abilities and not putting us, the big shots from the capital, in his eyes?"
"This is outrageous. When we find him, we must teach him a good lesson and let him learn how to respect us."
"Yes, if we don't show this kid who we are, he won't know how noble we are."
"It's giving him face that we are opening a sanatorium at White Python Lake!"
As soon as Cao Degui finished speaking, those people started shouting indignantly.
At this moment, Cao Degui waved his hand and said, "Everyone, stop complaining. Let's get in the car. We'll talk when we see that kid!"
