“Xiao Fan, what are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking about whether we can rebuild the Mountain God Temple.”
Lin Fan pointed in the direction of Luofeng Mountain, “Secretary Tian is considering developing tourism. If we build a Mountain God Temple and associate it with some legends, wouldn't that be good advertising?”
In fact, Tian Mengyao wanted to develop Fengyu Canyon into a tourist attraction, but Lin Fan felt that place was very unusual and must hide some great secret. It absolutely couldn't be risked lightly.
Who was Jiutian Xuannü, and who was the Eight-Headed Serpent God? He hadn’t figured these out yet.
“Is it your idea or Secretary Tian’s?” Xia Xue asked carefully.
If Lin Fan was just thinking about it alone, she wouldn’t agree.
But Tian Mengyao came from a big city and was the village head of Luofeng Village. Her vision was definitely better than that of ordinary people. What if it really worked?
“Of course, it’s Secretary Tian’s idea. She’s discussed it with me several times,” Lin Fan immediately used Tian Mengyao as a shield.
“Oh,” Xia Xue took a breath, “It must cost a lot of money, right?”
“Building a house and making a statue won’t cost much. When tourists come, we can find an old man to wear a Taoist robe and tell fortunes. We can earn a lot of money then,” Lin Fan said with a laugh.
“You’re so devious.” Xia Xue thought about it and realized it wouldn’t cost much, so she said, “You and Secretary Tian discuss it. As a woman, I don’t understand these big matters.”
“Alright, I’ll tell her later.” Lin Fan had already figured out how to act mysterious and let the villagers worship at the Mountain God Temple.
Normally, treating the villagers didn’t earn any money, and sometimes he even had to spend his own.
Instead of letting them thank him, it was better to have them contribute more to the village.
“With this heavy rain, no one should be coming today.”
Xia Xue looked at the rain outside and said with a sigh, “You can rest for a day. You haven’t stopped working since the clinic opened.”
“I’m just born to work hard.”
Lin Fan sighed and stood up to walk towards the door.
“What’s wrong?”
Xia Xue hadn't reacted yet when the sound of a vehicle approaching could be heard from afar.
The village and its surroundings were all dirt roads, and the car tires squelching through puddles made quite a noise.
Lin Fan pushed open the door and saw a white SUV break through the rain and stop in front of the clinic.
“Wang Ying!”
“Su Yurou!”
“Why are they here together?”
Seeing these two women, Lin Fan’s head buzzed, and he almost fainted.
Wang Ying’s small suspicions, always doubting the improper relationship between Lin Fan and Su Yurou, had gradually led her to stop interacting with Su Yurou. The friendship between these two sisters had long since existed only in name.
What was going on today?
“Wait a moment, I’ll get an umbrella.”
Seeing them about to rush in through the heavy rain, Lin Fan quickly waved to stop them and shouted.
Wang Ying closed the car door she had opened, her joy clearly visible.
“Xiao Fan is really back. He’s home. Did you see him?”
“Do you think I’m blind?”
Su Yurou pouted.
Soon, Lin Fan, holding an umbrella, rushed out.
“Xiao Fan!” Wang Ying got out of the car and was about to throw herself into Lin Fan’s arms.
Lin Fan was quick and agile, stepping back sharply and handing her the umbrella. “Here, don’t get wet. You’ll catch a cold.”
Wang Ying’s face was full of resentment, like an abandoned wife.
“Wang Ying, hurry and hold the umbrella.” Su Yurou didn’t dare to get out from the other side, fearing her makeup would be ruined by the rain. She pushed Wang Ying from behind. xxs one
Lin Fan used his body to block Xia Xue’s view and secretly pinched Wang Ying’s delicate cheek.
“You two hold the umbrella and walk slowly.”
With that, Lin Fan turned and ran back into the living room.
“Xiao Fan, who are they?” Xia Xue felt a pang of unease.
In such heavy rain, even the villagers weren’t working in the fields.
Two charming and alluring women, however, braved the heavy rain to come see Lin Fan.
What kind of spirit was this?
“It’s Boss Su from Simiao Beauty Salon. You’ve met her. The one next to her is her friend, Section Chief Wang from the Construction Bureau. Remember when the former village head, Old Dog Cao, wouldn't let us build our house? It was Section Chief Wang who helped by making a phone call. Did you forget?” Lin Fan introduced.
“Oh~” Xia Xue’s hostility gradually disappeared.
She knew Su Yurou; they had business dealings.
So, Wang Ying wasn't an outsider either. She had helped their family a lot.
“Come in quickly. Be careful of the doorstep, don’t trip.”
“Xiao Fan, hurry and get some towels.”
“The weather is not cooperating. I’ll make you some ginger soup to prevent colds.”
Xia Xue warmly welcomed the two women.
“No need to trouble you. We’re fine.”
“Yes, sister-in-law, please sit down.”
Wang Ying mimicked Lin Fan’s address to Xia Xue, which made Xia Xue a little stunned.
It wasn't that Xia Xue overthought things, but the other person was an official, and she was just an ordinary person. It was inevitable that she would feel a bit flustered, not knowing where to put her hands.
“Don’t be so polite. Xiao Fan has everything here. It won’t take much effort.”
Xia Xue invited the two women to sit down and then busied herself.
Su Yurou was unconcerned and used a towel to dry herself.
Wang Ying couldn’t sit still. She didn’t want Xia Xue to think of her as a pampered young lady who couldn’t do housework, so she immediately went to help.
Xia Xue felt very uncomfortable, thinking, “Officials nowadays are so approachable. Look how warm they are.”
Meanwhile, Lin Fan brought a fruit platter and placed it on the table.
“Apples, peanuts, and walnuts…”
These were gifts from the villagers.
“Xiao Fan, why didn’t you notify me when you came back?”
Su Yurou pushed the fruit platter aside. “I have a lot of things to report to you, and there are some matters we need to discuss and come up with a solution quickly…”
“Stop,” Lin Fan made a gesture to halt her.
“Do you know what I’m going to say?” Su Yurou said unhappily.
Lin Fan spread his hands. “Borun Pharmaceutical, and your beauty scar removal cream.”
“You know and you still won’t listen?” Su Yurou was very confused.
Lin Fan smiled helplessly. “I invented the medicine. Should I also be responsible for the management issues? What are you for, then?”
“…” Su Yurou was so rebutted that she couldn’t speak. A cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
“Lin Fan, I came to find you in the pouring rain, not to be verbally abused.”
“Don’t get agitated. I don’t mean any harm.”
Su Yurou stared intently at Lin Fan. “Are you sure you can trust me with such a large company?”
Lin Fan grinned cheekily, with an expression that invited a beating. “I’m mainly confident in Secretary Tian.”
“You!” Su Yurou had nowhere to vent her anger because Lin Fan was right.
No matter what happened to Borun Pharmaceutical, it was still an enterprise in Shimen County.
Tian Mengyao would never let Lin Fan suffer a loss. If forced, she might even stage a scene where a county magistrate is worse than a current official, or a family-destroying county official, or an exterminating prefecture magistrate.
“Fine, you two are amazing. I was born to be a workhorse, to be your servant,” Su Yurou said sarcastically.
