Chapter 395 - 394: Manor Construction Progress

Yun Zijin had no intention of listening to her excuses. "What kind of misunderstanding could there be? Are you going to say it’s just a coincidence that you hired the exact same number of bodyguards as I have?

That you bought a car that just happens to be the same model I’ve driven? And this outfit—is it also a coincidence that it’s the exact one I wore yesterday?

Once or twice is a coincidence. With this many ’coincidences’ piled up, do you really think I’ll believe it’s all just a coincidence?"

Yun Zijin’s words struck Feng Chenchen like blows. The passing teachers and students who overheard her began to look at Feng Chenchen strangely.

"Zijin is right! You’re nothing but a copycat!"

Qin Sitong’s gaze toward Feng Chenchen was filled with disdain.

’Of all the things to be, why did she have to copy every single thing about someone else?’

"I didn’t!"

Of course, Feng Chenchen couldn’t admit it. If the accusation was confirmed, she would be too ashamed to show her face at Dijing University ever again.

"I’m actually quite curious. There are so many outstanding people at this school. Why did you single me out?"

Yun Zijin was sure that she had never met Feng Chenchen before. The last elective class had been their first time meeting.

And before that, Feng Chenchen had also run into Qin Sitong.

Hearing Yun Zijin’s words, a flicker of guilt crossed Feng Chenchen’s eyes, but she couldn’t say anything.

"It’s fine. Even if you don’t talk, I can find out on my own. However, the consequences might be a little different if you tell me yourself versus me finding out.

The choice is yours, but... your time is running out."

After saying that, Yun Zijin ignored Feng Chenchen’s reaction, gave her one last meaningful look, and then led Qin Sitong and Zero One’s team of seven into the car, driving toward the school gate.

"I’ll drop you off at the shop first. I have to make a trip to the South Suburb Manor in a bit."

After getting in the car, Yun Zijin laid out the day’s schedule clearly.

Qin Sitong, of course, had no objections. She was more than happy to get a ride to work.

The distance from Dijing University to the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop wasn’t far; the drive was less than ten minutes.

Only after Qin Sitong got out of the car and safely entered the shop did Yun Zijin tell Zero One to drive.

The drive from the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop to the South Suburb Manor took almost two hours.

At this time, the South Suburb Manor construction site was completely enclosed by sheet metal fences, making it impossible for outsiders to see the work being done inside.

As for the construction of the underground laboratory, Mei Lin’s official story was that they were building a large underground parking garage for Yun Zijin.

Since no one could see what was going on inside anyway, all the various machines brought in were kept covered.

In addition to this, to prevent anyone from spying on the construction, Mei Lin had also installed jammers and counter-surveillance devices around the site’s perimeter.

With all kinds of 360-degree, no-blind-spot surveillance, absolutely no method of spying could escape Mei Lin’s watchful eye.

Yun Zijin hadn’t been back since the groundbreaking ceremony. She came today mainly to check on the construction progress.

She also wanted to let certain people know that she was taking the construction of this manor very seriously.

Mei Lin knew Yun Zijin was coming today, so she was already waiting at the construction site entrance when the car arrived.

After getting out of the car and seeing Mei Lin, Yun Zijin walked over with a brilliant smile. "Mei Lin!"

"Miss, you really didn’t need to come. I’m keeping an eye on everything here for you."

Construction sites are full of safety hazards, so Mei Lin was initially against Yun Zijin coming over.

’Yun Zijin is the boss, a delicately raised flower; what need is there for her to personally inspect a construction site?’

"It’s fine. I also wanted to see how things are progressing. I can’t wait to move in."

The manor’s blueprints were a reward from Randomly Spend, and Yun Zijin was truly looking forward to it.

"I will do my best to have you moved in before you graduate."

Since she hadn’t graduated yet, Yun Zijin still spent most of her time living at Jade Lake. Even if the manor were finished, she wouldn’t necessarily have time to live there.

But things would be different after she graduated. She wouldn’t have to work, and aside from needing to complete a certain weekly spending task, the one thing Yun Zijin would have most was time.

"Of course I trust your abilities."

Mei Lin was now an indispensable, top-tier assistant to Yun Zijin. Yun Zijin couldn’t even imagine how chaotic her life would be without Mei Lin.

"We’re still in the early stages. If you wish to go inside for a look, Miss, you must stay right by my side.

And these seven, they absolutely cannot leave your side for even a second."

Mei Lin knew she couldn’t change Yun Zijin’s mind. Since that was the case, she could only do her utmost to ensure Yun Zijin’s personal safety. Thankfully, Yun Zijin had brought her bodyguards, who could guarantee her safety immediately if any danger arose.

Yun Zijin, who cherished her life dearly, agreed without hesitation.

Once she was sure Yun Zijin had taken her words to heart, Mei Lin felt relieved enough to lead Yun Zijin and Zero One’s team of seven into the construction site.

"This is the manor’s front courtyard. The main task here is for the landscape architect to design the scenery, but right now they’re still leveling the ground and haven’t started planning yet."

"Make sure my Moonlight Grass, Fire Trees, and Ice Trees are all planned into it!"

These plants were all rewards Yun Zijin had earned through her own efforts, so of course, she wanted them where she lived.

"Yes, I’ll speak to the horticulturalist."

Mei Lin would never object to anything Yun Zijin wanted.

Although the construction site looked chaotic, the main paths were all cleared, so Yun Zijin and the others didn’t find it difficult to walk through.

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the area planned for the main building.

In the blueprints provided by Randomly Spend, all the structures were designed in the style of ancient Hua Country gardens. Besides the main building, many areas were planned to have covered walkways, lakeside pavilions, rockeries, gardens, and various other gazebos...

The only limit was Yun Zijin’s imagination; the blueprints had everything.

But blueprints were just blueprints. During the actual construction, some reasonable modifications would still be made based on the practical situation.

Unfortunately, Yun Zijin couldn’t even see a basic outline of it yet.

After confirming no one else was passing by, Yun Zijin leaned closer to Mei Lin. "So... how is Mr. Tang’s laboratory coming along?"

The underground parking garage Yun Zijin was supposedly building was real, but the laboratory was also an absolute must.

"It’s still under normal construction. The security aspect is receiving the most work, so building it has been somewhat difficult."

If it weren’t for Mei Lin, with Hua Country’s current level of technology, it would be impossible to create a security system identical to the one Mei Lin designed.

Yun Zijin nodded. As long as there were no problems, it was fine. Her biggest fear was that after spending so much money and effort on the lab, the intended user would just say "I don’t like it" and negate all her hard work.

"You can have Yan Shutang come over periodically to inspect and approve the work. If there are any issues, they can be corrected in a timely manner."

Since Yan Shutang was the one in charge of the laboratory, it was only right and proper for him to come and inspect it.

"Okay, I’ll see to it."

Mei Lin hadn’t originally thought it was necessary, but since Yun Zijin had brought it up, she would make it happen.

It was just a matter of sending a scheduled message to Yan Shutang. For Mei Lin, that didn’t even require lifting a finger.
