Chapter 186: Chapter 187: Hua Lvlan Agrees

Just then, Li Yang’s phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Zhang Rong calling.

Li Yang’s heart skipped a beat. ’This might be about Hua Lvlan,’ he thought.

"Aunt Rong..."

"We’re already in the village, by the place where people are fishing. Hurry up and come get us. I have no idea where your house is. Oh, and Professor Hua is here too."

"Oh, wonderful! Welcome, welcome!" Li Yang was overjoyed. ’Speak of the devil,’ he thought, ’and he shall appear. That was fast.’

"I’m on my way. Just wait for me there."

As he spoke, Li Yang turned to Li Dajiang and the other man. "You two keep an eye on things here. I’m going to go have a talk. If I can close this deal, you won’t have to worry about being out of work."

With that, he took off running.

When he got near the anglers’ center, he saw Zhang Rong and Hua Lvlan in the distance, chatting while looking out at the lake.

"Welcome to you both..." Li Yang said as he approached.

"The scenery in your village really is something!" Zhang Rong said. "No wonder a guy like you is so set on developing things here. Come on, now. I’ve brought Professor Hua for you."

"Thank you!" Hua Lvlan said to Li Yang. "If it weren’t for you, I would have been done for. I was a bit rude to you before, please forgive me."

Li Yang shook his head. "It’s nothing, just a small matter. By the way, you’re not going to want to slap me when you see me, are you?"

Zhang Rong snorted with laughter.

"I’m not fond of chatting and socializing with men, but I’m perfectly fine with normal work-related interactions." Hua Lvlan glanced at Zhang Rong. "I’m not that scary. Last time, at my place, I was just in a bad mood."

Li Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Then there’s no problem. Come on, since you’re here, please take a look for me."

"Do you have a place to raise pheasants?" Hua Lvlan asked. "Pheasants can fly, not very high, but they definitely need a lot of space. You have to be clear about that. Plus, pheasants are very temperamental. If you raise them too densely, they tend to peck at each other. So you need to think this through."

"I do. I might be short on everything else, but I’m not short on space!" Li Yang said with a serious expression. "Let’s go, take a look over there. There are some spots at the foot of the mountain that should be perfect for it."

Hua Lvlan followed Li Yang to the foot of the mountain.

Indeed, there was a place there that was quite suitable.

"This place is good, and it’s big enough!" Hua Lvlan nodded. "You can lease it. When you do, I’ll design the fencing for you. After that, you can start construction..."

"Thank you so much!" Li Yang was delighted.

Afterward, Hua Lvlan inspected the area a bit more.

"What about the flowers?" Zhang Rong took the opportunity to ask Li Yang.

"You mean the Tuihua Flowers?" Li Yang asked in return.

Zhang Rong nodded. "I also came this time to see how your Tuihua Flower cultivation is coming along. From what I hear from Yun Meng, they’ll be able to establish a standard production line soon. They’ve also found the optimal formula and will be starting production shortly. From now on, I’ll have to keep an eye on your raw material supply."

Li Yang’s eyes lit up. "Aunt Rong, in that case, you’ll have to stay here in our village! What if some petty thieves set their sights on us...?"

"Get lost!" Zhang Rong said irritably. "I’m here on official business."

"Aunt Rong, we haven’t handled our ’official business’ yet. When you have a moment, could you fulfill your promise?" Li Yang said with a wronged expression.

Zhang Rong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "If you mention that again, I won’t be so nice."

Li Yang chuckled slyly, then immediately put on a serious face.

Zhang Rong felt a headache coming on. ’This guy...’

On the way back from the site, Hua Lvlan said, "By the way, how many pheasants are you planning to produce per day? I need to know so I can factor it into the design."

"Around two hundred a day, minimum," Li Yang said.

"That many?" Hua Lvlan was taken aback for a moment, but then she nodded. "Alright, if that’s what you’re aiming for, it can be done. I’ll design it for you. I’ll mark out the approximate area you’ll need so you can go and lease the land. As for the other specifications, I’ll come back and go over them with you later."

"Great, thank you, Professor Hua!"

Hua Lvlan turned her head and asked Zhang Rong, "Are you coming back with me?"

"You go ahead. I still have some things to take care of."

Hua Lvlan nodded, got in her car, and drove off.

"Aunt Rong, why don’t you stay the night here? You don’t have a ride back now," Li Yang asked with a smug grin.

Zhang Rong ignored him. "Let’s go. Take me to see the Tuihua Flowers."

Li Yang had no choice but to lead her to the back to see the Tuihua Flowers.

The Tuihua Flowers were thriving. Looking out, one could see a sea of yellow blossoms.

"Not bad. There’s quite a lot..." Zhang Rong’s eyes brightened. "But for the continuous mass production we need, this is still a bit too little. You’ll have to increase the cultivation area."

"Don’t worry, I’ll be planting another batch soon, and I’ll plant even more this time."

"That’s good!" Zhang Rong nodded. "This is going to be the key to our profits from now on. You have to make sure you do this right."

Li Yang certainly understood. This had the potential to be a real moneymaker.

After a little while, it was already dark.

"Aunt Rong, why don’t you stay here tonight..." Li Yang said, a suggestive look on his face.
