Chapter 183 - 184: Bringing Gao Xin Xue Back to the Village

Chapter 183: Chapter 184: Bringing Gao Xin Xue Back to the Village

Two cars, one behind the other, drove along Yanjiang Road by the Bi River.

Although it was a dirt road, with green mountains on one side and clear water on the other, the sight was truly refreshing.

Her daughter was the happiest of all. She opened the car window and shouted, "Mom, look! There are people fishing in the river!"

Soon after, they made a right turn and entered the Bishui Village area.

To their left was the vast, emerald-green Bishui Lake.

"Mom, look! The lake is so big! And there are white birds flying over it!"

The little girl shouted.

Gao Xin Xue was also surprised. She hadn’t expected the place to be so beautiful. Seeing her daughter so excited made her even happier.

"Xin Xue, it really is beautiful," Aunt Gao said as well.

Soon, they arrived in the courtyard of Li Yang’s house.

After parking the car and getting out, Gao Xin Xue looked at the house with some surprise. "Your house is still an old-fashioned one?"

It was indeed an old house, built with mud bricks instead of modern red ones.

"Most of the houses in our village are like this..." Li Yang said with a smile. "We’re a bit poor, so there’s not much to be done about it."

"They might be poor, but you aren’t, are you?" Gao Xin Xue sounded skeptical. "You must make a good amount of money from selling vegetables every day. Building a house shouldn’t be that hard for you."

Li Yang gave a wry smile. "I have more important uses for my money. We can talk about building a new house later. This one is still livable."

Gao Xin Xue’s estimation of Li Yang rose.

"Come on, let’s go see the place where you said you’re building the resort..." Gao Xin Xue said, a little eager.

The environment here was excellent, and she wanted to know exactly what kind of resort Li Yang was planning to build.

Li Yang smiled faintly and led her to the resort’s construction site.

The place was buzzing with activity as work was underway.

Li Yang got the blueprints from the construction office and showed them to Gao Xin Xue. "Take a look. This is the main building I’m planning to build, and this is the staff dormitory. I also plan to build a few lakeside restaurants over the water to give it more character..."

As Li Yang spoke and Gao Xin Xue listened, she found herself more and more impressed with the resort’s design.

By the time he finished, she was stunned, finding it all a little hard to believe.

She had originally thought Li Yang was just building a simple farmhouse-style inn, but from the way he described it, it seemed to be far more than that.

"Is this considered a hotel?" Gao Xin Xue asked.

Li Yang smiled. "Something like that. Anyway, I have a lot of land here. I’m planning to build a hotel later on, if possible."

Gao Xin Xue looked over and noticed another construction site nearby.

"What’s that over there?"

"Oh, that’s my fishing center!" Li Yang’s face lit up as he spoke of it. "It’s for the fishing enthusiasts. You see, I have quite a few of them who fish in the lake. My lake is full of fish, and the scenery is beautiful, so they all love coming here. In a way, they’re the first wave of visitors I’ve brought to the village. Right now, all they want to do is fish, but once I build the fishing center, or rather, this whole resort, they might stay and do other things."

"Are there other things to do?" Gao Xin Xue was very interested in this point.

"Of course!" Li Yang said. "Bishui Lake is big enough, right? I can develop a water park in the future. And we also have the great mountains that haven’t been developed yet. We can find things to develop there, too. Eventually, I want to turn our village into a rural tourism destination. What do you think?"

Gao Xin Xue was a bit dazed. After a moment, she said, "If you have the resources, it’s certainly possible. But your idea of starting with the fishing enthusiasts is actually really good."

She was amazed. ’What kind of mind does this guy have, to come up with a strategy like that?’

Li Yang said, a little smugly, "You know it. It wasn’t easy for me to attract people here."

Li Yang felt a wave of emotion.

Gao Xin Xue smiled faintly. She hadn’t had high expectations when she came, but now that she was here, she was truly astonished.

"You’ve only just started construction here. It’ll be a long time before it’s built and ready to open. Are you sure you need to hire me right now? My salary isn’t low, you know!" By saying this, Gao Xin Xue was clearly already agreeing to take the job.

"That’s no problem!" Li Yang nodded. "There’s still a lot of prep work to do in the early stages, and I don’t know much about it. You’re the expert, so it would be much better if you handled it. Besides, my fishing center will be finished soon. You’ll probably have to help me manage that first."

"That’s not a problem!" Gao Xin Xue nodded. "I can help you with that."

"Then it’s settled!" Li Yang said happily. "You’ll be the manager here."

"Deal!"

Gao Xin Xue nodded in agreement.

Li Yang pumped his fist.

Although his project had great potential, it still needed management talent. Now that he had it, he naturally felt much more at ease.

Just then, her daughter came skipping over. "Mom, this place is so much fun! Can I come play here often in the future?"

"You can!" Li Yang said with a smile. "Your mom will be working here from now on. You’ll go to school in the city, and when you have a holiday, you can come here to play. How does that sound?"

"Yay!"
