Chapter 112: Chapter 113: Preparing to Build Jianshan Villa

After the call, Uncle Chai stood up. He glanced at the two corpses and said to his men, "Clean this up. Make sure no one finds out. It’s not that we’re afraid, but it’s best to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, a raging fire engulfed the Jin family’s villa.

At the police station, Shen Xu and the captain both wore grim expressions.

Young Master Jin was dead, and he deserved it, but the two of them felt a sense of dread.

They both suspected Li Yang was behind it, but they had no evidence.

Just then, someone rushed over. "This is bad! The Jin family villa is on fire, and Young Master Jin’s father is still inside!"

"What!" The captain shot to his feet, horrified. "Let’s go! We have to see this!"

...

Li Yang was up early the next morning.

As he was getting up, Liu Jinsheng was arriving with two carloads of people to go fishing.

Liu Jinsheng had gotten the hang of it by now. He didn’t need to go through Li Yang anymore; he just coordinated with Aunt Min whenever people were coming.

"Brother..." Liu Jinsheng had truly become a proper lackey. He greeted Li Yang from a distance and then hurried over. "I’ve been growing our fishing group. More and more people want to come, but the conditions here are still a bit lacking."

Li Yang nodded. "There’s not much we can do about it. We just have to make do for now. But the most important thing is that people can actually catch fish here, right?"

"Absolutely!" Liu Jinsheng nodded. "The fishing is great, and the scenery is beautiful. Oh, right. I overheard someone mentioning that it would be amazing to fish from something like a yacht out on the lake, since it’s so big."

Li Yang chuckled. "I know, but that requires money."

Liu Jinsheng gave a dry laugh. "Yes, yes, it does require money."

Li Yang immediately spoke again. "But he has a point. We just can’t plan that far ahead right now. Tell them to be patient. Once I have the money, I can buy a yacht for them to fish from."

"Okay, okay, great!" Liu Jinsheng was overjoyed.

After Liu Jinsheng left, Li Yang couldn’t help but feel troubled.

’The most important thing right now is making money,’ he thought. Although the operation he’d set up seemed extensive, earning the several million needed for the road repairs was proving to be quite difficult.

’I have to get this mountain road fixed before the end of the year!’

Li Yang thought to himself.

Finally, Li Yang stood up, got in his car, and drove straight to Quanfang Construction Company.

When he arrived at Quanfang, Liu Wan was very surprised to see him. "Our design isn’t completely finished yet. We’ll give you a detailed breakdown once it’s ready."

Li Yang scratched his head. "Manager Liu, I’m actually not here about the school this time."

"Oh?" Liu Wan asked, a little curious. "Then what is it?"

"I was hoping you could design a resort for me," Li Yang said sincerely. "I want to build one in my village, something like an agritainment-style retreat."

"Hmm?" Liu Wan looked at him in surprise. "Your village has nice scenery, but as for foot traffic..."

"I know!" Li Yang said with a serious expression. "You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll find a way to draw people to our village. So many city folks these days want to experience rural nature firsthand. Our village is a prime example. With landscapes this beautiful, everyone should have a chance to get close to it, don’t you think?"

"You’re not wrong, but this could cost a lot of money."

"That’s fine!" Li Yang nodded. "I’ll spend what needs to be spent."

"Alright. How about this: our company should have the school blueprints completely finished in a couple of days. We’ll come to your village again then, and you can tell me more about your ideas. How does that sound?"

"Sounds great!" Li Yang nodded repeatedly. "Then it’s settled."

"Okay!"

...

After leaving Quanfang Company, Li Yang went straight to Hidden Dragon Manor.

"Proprietress..." Li Yang went up to greet her.

"Aiya..." The proprietress came forward with a smile. "Well, Boss Li, I must say, you’ve really tamed Lao Xu. He’s been bringing me scallions every day."

"By the way, how has Lao Xu’s attitude been toward you?" Li Yang asked.

"Oh, it’s been wonderful!" the proprietress chuckled. "Now he doesn’t even dare to look me straight in the eye."

Li Yang was very satisfied.

’It seems Lao Xu does value this job, after all.’

"By the way, Proprietress, I came here today to ask for a favor," Li Yang said after a moment of thought. "I’m preparing to build a resort in my village. Could you give me some ideas on how I should go about it?"

"Really?" The proprietress’s eyes lit up. "President Li, you’re truly something else. You’re already planning to build a resort."

"Let’s skip the flattery. I’m just asking you, how should I do it?" Li Yang asked.

The proprietress thought for a moment before replying, "Well, that depends on what kind of place you want to build... If you want to make it a large-scale operation, it’s going to cost a lot. If you want to start small, that’s fine too..."

"If I’m going to do it, I’m going big," Li Yang said without a second thought. "We have a lot of space, and I want to develop my village, so I think it needs to be a large-scale project."

"Well, that’s going to cost a fortune!" the proprietress said. "Do you have that kind of money?"
