Chapter 1590 - 1589: An Ran’s Suggestion
Gu Li chuckled, "Boss, getting into aviation burns a lot of money, you know?"
He then extended his hand and started counting on his fingers, "Salaries are minor, it’s the materials that are the major cost, and many things we need to purchase from outside..."
Seeing him open up like that, Ling Feng immediately felt a headache, so he quickly waved his hand, "Alright, alright, stop talking. I know you won’t embezzle, can’t I just not ask about this?"
"No way, boss, the money’s not enough!" Gu Li said.
"Well, my company’s account in Hong Kong has money. Use that if it’s not enough," Ling Feng said.
Only then was Gu Li satisfied, nodding, he said, "Then I’m relieved!"
"Looks like I still need to keep working hard to make more money!"
Ling Feng sighed, then said, "Alright, I’ll head back first. Call me if anything comes up!"
"Okay, boss, go for it. Try to get us more funding as soon as possible!" Gu Li laughed.
"..."
With a speechless look on his face, Ling Feng left and returned to Nine Heavens.
Turning his head to look at Sato Saori, he smiled and asked, "Do you have anything planned next?"
"Why? Want to ditch me and have fun on your own?" Sato Saori tilted her head and asked.
"Uh, what are you thinking?"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes at her and continued, "I’m just asking. If you have nothing to do, why not come with me to Taohua Township?"
"Sure!"
Sato Saori nodded and then glanced at the time, "But I can only keep you company for half a day, I have something to do in the evening!"
"What do you have to do?" Ling Feng asked curiously.
"Secret!"
Sato Saori said.
"You even have secrets from me?" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
Sato Saori lifted her head, "Of course, especially from you, I definitely can’t tell you this secret!"
"Fine, have it your way!"
Ling Feng was helpless, sighed, and teleported them both to Taohua Township.
The place had already returned to peace. Upon entering the store, he noticed the landlady had taken off her bandages and her injuries had healed.
They exchanged a few words, then Ling Feng went to the construction site and saw a busy scene with workers preparing materials for production.
An Ran and Chu Qing saw him and immediately bounced over with joy.
Then the two of them smiled brilliantly and said in unison, "President Ling, you’re here!"
"Yeah!"
Ling Feng nodded and looked at An Ran, "I heard you got injured last time too, are you okay now?"
"No worries, just a minor injury, nothing worth mentioning!" An Ran laughed.
"That’s good. Those people have already been arrested and should have faced the consequences, so don’t keep thinking about it," Ling Feng said.
An Ran pouted, "Of course we won’t, we knew President Ling would avenge us!"
Ling Feng smiled and nodded, "You two have performed well. So here’s the thing, I’ll arrange some paperwork for you. Even though you’re still studying, you can become employees of Ling Corporation!"
"Yay!"
Hearing this, the two girls immediately jumped for joy.
Seeing their happiness, Ling Feng also felt very pleased.
This was out of a sense of compensation since the two of them had contributed a lot to the mushroom farm and were quite capable. How could he not retain such talents?
But Sato Saori on the side had a somewhat strange expression and glanced at Ling Feng.
However, she didn’t say anything and chose to remain silent.
Ling Feng asked about the progress on this side, and An Ran told him that the materials were mostly ready and they could start producing mushroom kits soon. In two days, once the sterilization was complete, the first batch of spores could be inoculated.
According to this schedule, they could harvest matsutake mushrooms in about a month.
Speaking of this, An Ran suddenly said, "By the way, President Ling, although I know you’re all-powerful, I’m still a bit nervous inside. Can matsutake mushrooms really be artificially cultivated?"
"Of course, you can absolutely trust me on that!" Ling Feng nodded.
"That would be a big deal. If successful, countless people would flock to Taohua Township to learn the technology or for consultations!" An Ran said.
Ling Feng looked at her, "Go on."
"By then, Taohua Township is too small to accommodate so many people!" An Ran said.
"You’re right. Do you have any solution?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
An Ran smiled, "I’ve thought about it, but I’m just a little girl, and the villagers don’t believe me. It still needs you, President Ling, to take the lead!"
She paused and continued, "People can start preparing now by opening bed and breakfasts and restaurants to welcome those eager to visit!"
Ling Feng looked at her and smiled, then nodded, "You truly are a business talent!"
An Ran blushed, "No way, I just made some casual connections."
"You’re absolutely right. I’ll go find Mayor Chu, and have him mobilize the villagers. If they lack money, I’ll support them!" Ling Feng said.
"That’s great, thank you in advance, President Ling!" An Ran clapped her hands joyfully.
Then, leaving the mushroom farm, Ling Feng and Sato Saori returned to the village office and told Chu Zhennan about this matter.
As expected, Chu Zhennan smacked his lips after hearing about it, "It’s feasible, but the villagers are so poor. They can’t even afford to renovate their homes to open a restaurant, let alone a small shop!"
"Here’s the thing, I’ll leave you a million. Consider it a loan for them to get by. They can pay me back slowly once they make money!"
Ling Feng said while taking out his phone, ready to transfer funds.
Chu Zhennan’s eyes widened; he had seen wealthy people before, but never someone so generous!
After receiving the money, he said excitedly to Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, you are truly the savior of Taohua Township!"
Ling Feng smiled, "Please don’t say that, I’m just doing what I can to help, a little help is better than none."
After chatting for a while, as it was getting late, Sato Saori stood up and said, "I need to go. You stay here on your own."
"Alright, you head off first then."
Ling Feng nodded, not saying much, and watched her leave.
After a while, he also left the village office and called Chen Fei.
It was four in the afternoon, and she hadn’t finished work yet.
Upon answering, Ling Feng asked, "Sister Fei, I’m in Taohua Township, do you have any plans tonight?"
Chen Fei, as if they were telepathic, smiled and said, "No plans, just come straight to my place!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "Alright, I’ll try to get there before you do!"
"Okay."
Chen Fei lightly laughed and hung up the phone.
Ling Feng left in a hurry, didn’t look for a car, and quickly moved through the hills, reaching the city half an hour later.
Arriving at Chen Fei’s place, just as he sat down, she returned from work.
The two naturally embraced, then Chen Fei softly asked, "Was everything smooth in Dongying?"
