To tell the truth, the two young people, Cao He and Cao Hui, were actually talented. They had experienced poverty at a very young age. They knew that life was not easy. They had cultivated their perseverance. Unfortunately, they followed the wrong person.

Following the wrong boss was like marrying the wrong person and engaging in a wrong career. It was truly a great pity.

In the ward, Cao Meng sighed. He knew that his accomplices had been arrested, and he knew that they had confessed something he was trying to hide. It was really true that a stupid teammate was more horrible than a talented opponent.

He had no choice now. He was defeated, which was the truth he had to admit.

The criminal pleaded guilty, and the case was finished for now. The only disappointment was that the employer behind him was not found out.

The other three people were given a certain degree of treatment, so there was no danger to their lives. They got the punishment they deserved. After learning the final verdict, Wang Yao still sighed for Cao He and Cao Hui.

This matter was over, but there was a new beginning in the mountain village.

After obtaining what was required, Wang Zecheng began to grow herbs. He chose the commonly used medicinal materials sealwort and gentian. He also planted some radices sileris and licorice on the hillside.

He was not alone. There was another person in the village who was starting to plant herbs.

Wang Fengming was an honest man in the village. Different from Wang Zecheng, he actively came to look for Wang Yao. He had a similar idea early on, but he did not want to compete with Wang Yao in business, so he had never done it.

When he went up the mountain, he saw Wang Zecheng tidying up the land. After chatting, he knew that Wang Zecheng was going to plant medical herbs, and it was Wang Yao who took the initiative to tell him. Wang Fengming went to find Wang Yao.

“This is a good thing. Uncle, you only need to manage the planting,” Wang Yao said. “You can ask me if there is anything you don’t know. Don’t worry about sales.”

Wang Fengming was very admired as a loyal elder in the village. It was natural to fully support him in this matter.

“That’s good.” Wang Fengming smiled.

He headed home and began to prepare. He could not go to Xishan Hill, which were the words of Wang Yao. Even if he had not said it, these two people would not go there. Xishan was now forbidden. Basically, people were not going up that mountain.

It was already the end of June, and the weather was hot. The temperature had been more than 86 degrees for several consecutive days. The highest temperature reached 98 degrees. Many trees surrounded the mountain village, so the environment there was still quite good. It was cooler than in towns and cities.

Despite such a good environment, most of the people in the mountain village had bought houses in the city and moved away. This meant that the mountain village was actually half empty.

“Why do they think living in a city is better?” a villager asked.

The old men in the mountain village leaned under the tree and chatted.

“Well, high-rise buildings are equipped with heating, and shopping is also convenient,” another villager said. “Now, there are few young people who are willing to live in the village.”

“Yeah, without an apartment or a car, they could not even find a partner,” another villager said.

“The village is half empty,” the first villager said. “Only old guys like us almost buried in the soil are left.”

“Oh, no, there are still a few young people,” another villager said. “Is the Xiaoyao of Fenghua’s family still here? In my view, he is the only young man with promise in the village.”

“Promise? He even treated people to death,” another villager said.

In the village, some people liked him; some did not.

“I have heard that it was a blackmail against him,” another villager said. “The court passed sentence on the criminals. They are not local, and it is not the first time to do such matter.”

As they were talking, someone drove into the mountain village.

“Someone is here to see the doctor,” a villager said.

“Is it a foreign license plate?” another villager asked.

The car stopped outside the clinic. Zheng Weijun got out of the car and entered the clinic.

As for the case of the city’s pharmaceutical company, everything was going smoothly. The procedures for the establishment of the project and the factory itself were approved. This reflected the energy of the family involved. In China, they were at the top of the rank.

“Sir, the next step is to build a factory,” Zheng Weijun said.

Regarding the location of the factory, the government of Lianshan County provided them with several places. In the end, they selected two places. One was near the county, and the other was near the village. They were actually in the town. The final place was not fixed.

“Mr. Wang, are you free to go to take a look?” Zheng Weijun asked.

“Sure,” Wang Yao said.

“When are you free?” Zheng Weijun asked.

“I have time in the afternoon,” Wang Yao said.

“OK, let’s go to see it in the afternoon,” Zheng Weijun said.

After setting the time, Wang Yao issued a notice on Weibo that the clinic was going to be closed in the afternoon.

At noon, Wang Yao treated Zheng Weijun to a meal. This time, Zheng Weijun only brought a driver and two bodyguards. Zheng Shixiong did not accompany him. During lunch, Wang Yao meant to invite them together, but they were not willing.

“Sir, I also want to hire a Feng Shui master from the south to help us to see the two plots,” Zheng Weijun said.

“Feng Shui?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, you may not know it, but we actually believe it,” Zheng Weijun said. “The location of a new factory must been seen by a master. This is a customary rule. It is actually useful.”

At the very least, Wang Yao knew that many people and many big companies had problems because of this. Feng Shui required asking an outsider.

Wang Yao smiled but did not say anything about that. “Is he coming today?”

“He has some other things first,” Zheng Weijun said. “He is on the way here. He should arrive around 3 p.m. Let him take a look at it with us.”

“Sure,” Wang Yao said.

He also wanted to meet this “master.” So far, he had seen many Feng Shui masters. In the strict sense, only Miao San was a real one.

After eating and taking a break, he and Zheng Weijun rode in the same car and went to one of the locations. It was close to the newly expanded provincial road, so the traffic was convenient and the terrain was wide. It was suitable for building factories.

“Should we get out and take a look?” Wang Yao asked.

“Sounds good,” Zheng Weijun said.

The car stopped at the side of the road. The two of them got out.

The location had crops planted on it. As long as the choice was settled, the county council would come forward to coordinate land use issues. The east and south sides had roads. The west side was a small hill with many trees. On the north side was a forest.

Wang Yao looked around. “Well, it’s not bad here.”

“Shall we go see the other place?” Zheng Weijun asked.

“Sure,” Wang Yao said.

They went to the county by car. The land was in the corner of the Chengbei Industrial Park. It was very flat. There were only a few low-rise temporary sheds that were messy. It could be used after cleaning. The east, west, and north sides were roads. It was convenient.

“How do you feel about this place?” Zheng Weijun asked..

He was actually more optimistic about this place because the transportation there was more convenient. In the county town, it meant better recruitment. The key issue was that this was industrial land, not cultivated land, so there might be fewer disputes.

“Let’s go in and see it,” Wang Yao said.

It was a piece of ruined land, without any blockage. He looked around and walked away.

“I don’t like it very much,” Wang Yao said.

“Well, why?” Zheng Weijun asked.

“There is a battery processing plant.” He pointed to a factory in the north. “This factory is very polluted, and the groundwater in the vicinity is polluted.”

This factory was quite famous in Lianshan County. When it was first introduced, it was reported on the TV station for several days. In the first two years, it was indeed booming. Some problems gradually appeared. It produced lead batteries as a high-polluting enterprise. For this reason, it had been refused for the establishment in some places, but the industry in Lianshan County was underdeveloped. At that time, the leaders approved it for political achievements. Now, with increasing the degree of environmental protection, its problems were all exposed.

It was absolutely not advisable to sacrifice environment for economic development.

“There, the tire factory.” Wang Yao pointed to a larger field next to the site.

“High pollution?” Zheng Weijun asked.

“Pollution is only one aspect,” Wang Yao said. “This company, when it was built, was well-known. It claimed to get the investment of more than $1 billion. As far as I know, it now has a lot of debts and cannot be maintained.”
