Chapter 1639: Competing for Quotas
Ling Zhenfei said, "Since everyone is saying so, let me tell you something. Actually, I want to set up a tea garden to cultivate tea leaves."
As soon as Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, someone below began to talk.
"Choose our village, we still have old tea trees here, which should be suitable for cultivating tea leaves."
"No, choose our village, our land is very good, and the tea grown will definitely taste great."
"Our village has sun-facing slopes, choose our village."
At this point, Ling Zhenfei realized that these people weren't thinking about the feasibility of this project at all; they just wanted to compete for any potential project.
Ling Zhenfei was really helpless, but this was all for the good of their village.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's not rush about this matter. Let me plan it out carefully first. I can promise everyone that if there is a project, we will definitely prioritize the nearby villages."
After dinner, Ling Zhenfei finally left, though Xu Dashan and others repeatedly urged him to stay, Ling Zhenfei insisted on leaving.
All matters had been discussed, and the remaining things were not for Ling Zhenfei to worry about.
When he returned to Qinghe Village, it was already late and his house was dark.
It was only around eleven o'clock; in the city, it would still be brightly lit, but in the countryside, everyone had already gone to bed.
Ling Zhenfei opened the door and walked in, knowing full well that Zhou Yun wouldn't be asleep at this time.
Indeed, upon entering, he saw a faint light emanating from Zhou Yun's room.
Ling Zhenfei gently knocked on the door, and Zhou Yun's voice came from inside the room.
"Zhenfei, I'm already asleep. Let's talk tomorrow if there's something."
Ling Zhenfei smirked, knowing that Zhou Yun definitely wasn't asleep, since his Perspective Eye had already seen Zhou Yun calculating something at the desk.
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's so late, and you're still doing the books. Why not turn on a bigger light? Be careful your eyes don't get strained."
With that revelation, Zhou Yun naturally understood what had happened, and quietly came over to open the door.
Ling Zhenfei walked into the room.
After closing the door, Zhou Yun returned to the desk and continued with her calculations.
Ling Zhenfei walked over and took a look, and Zhou Yun pointed at the figures in front of her and said, "Look, this is today's expenditure. Isn't it terrifying?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "But look at the income, isn't it also terrifying?"
Zhou Yun said, "Business is naturally about making money; who would have dared to think about so much money before?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Okay, enough about that. Let's talk about some serious matters."
What serious matters? Zhou Yun's expression started to waver, clearly not wanting to bring up that topic.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't pretend you don't know, we need to have a good talk about this."
Zhou Yun said, "I don't see what's there to talk about. The way things turned out between us was wrong from the start."
Ling Zhenfei said, "As long as we can be together, why care about what others say? Since when did you start caring so much about others' opinions? Back when so many people opposed you, when so many pointed fingers at you, you weren't this weak."
Zhou Yun said, "Because things are different now; your identity is different. How can we let others make a joke out of you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Since when did you start paying so much attention to what others say?"
Zhou Yun said, "Ever since you became a big star, since you became the 'national husband,' I had no choice but to pay attention for your sake."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "The 'national husband' thing is about Ma Long; what does it have to do with me?"
Zhou Yun said, "You should go online more often, see what people are saying. Count how many call you 'husband' under your Weibo, how many call me 'sister-in-law' under mine."
Ling Zhenfei knew that many indeed called him 'husband' under his Weibo, but he didn't know that there were also many leaving messages on Zhou Yun's Weibo.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Those are just online jesters, why should we bother with them?"
Zhou Yun said, "You can afford not to care, but I have to think for you. Don't talk to me about this anymore; my mind is very unsettled right now. I was already tired enough during the day. Just let me rest well."
Ling Zhenfei sighed and said, "Alright, get some good rest then."
After that, Ling Zhenfei returned to his room, turned on his computer, and opened his Weibo.
The fan festival post on Xi Shan already had hundreds of thousands of comments and shares; it seems the fans' enthusiasm was still very high.
Each day, names would be randomly drawn for the event, which was something Ling Zhenfei did not need to handle himself.
Looking at the comments below, just as Zhou Yun had said, there was indeed a large crowd of girls underneath shouting 'husband.'
Previously, Ling Zhenfei found it amusing, but today, hearing people call him 'husband' didn't bring any joy.
After checking various private messages, Ling Zhenfei shut down the computer.
He once again entered into cultivation, knowing that the next morning he had to treat Lu Tao, so he needed a good rest to prepare. Early the next morning, after breakfast, Ling Zhenfei prepared some more breakfast to take with him, and then headed into the mountains.
On the way, his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, he saw it was Lei Tian.
Ling Zhenfei knew that Lei Tian must have something important, so he answered the call immediately.
Lei Tian sounded very excited on the other end.
"Brother Zhenfei, we've arranged to meet with the Twin Dragons Society tomorrow at noon."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, I'll definitely be there tomorrow at noon."
Lei Tian said, "Brother, you absolutely must come, otherwise we really can't handle it alone."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I won't forget about this."
The two discussed a few things to be aware of and then ended the call.
As he arrived at the base of the mountain cliffs, the morning mist enveloped Xianling Mountain, but it was also the time when the Northern Spiritual Energy was most abundant.
As soon as he reached the cliff base, Lu Yunshang's Divine Sense locked onto him, clearly having set up some barriers to prevent those people from coming back.
Ling Zhenfei entered the cave and said to Lu Yunshang, "You didn't get a good rest last night. I brought some food, have some, and get a good rest; leave the rest to me."
Lu Yunshang nodded at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Thank you, are you going to treat my father now?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Morning is the best time for treatment. Although many today don't follow this, the ancient methods are still very applicable."
Lu Yunshang said, "If you don't need any help, I'll head outside, both to protect you and to avoid disturbing you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Very well, I might call for you at times."
Lu Yunshang walked out of the cave, leaving only Ling Zhenfei and Lu Tao inside.
Ling Zhenfei went to Lu Tao's side, using the Silver Needle to unblock his meridians, and soon Lu Tao could speak again.
"After years of not speaking, now being able to but unable to protect what I want is quite unbearable."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's alright. After today, you'll probably be able to speak forever."
