Liu Xiulan gently thumped Wang Hao’s chest, which made his heart flutter uncontrollably, and he couldn’t help but pinch her tender cheek.
"You’re only just realizing that!"
As soon as he said it, he regretted it.
Because Su Lin’s small mouth was slightly pouted, her expression seeming to feign annoyance yet not quite annoyance, feign anger yet not quite anger.
He felt his body growing hot and his heart pounding wildly without stopping.
So he quickly withdrew his hand and coughed twice to cover the awkwardness.
Only then did he notice that Su Lin was dressed quite lightly.
A white spaghetti-strap dress outlined her exquisitely curvaceous body in vivid detail, with two high breasts undulating with her breathing, which was enough to quicken one’s pulse.
And with the expression on her face at the moment...
Wang Hao felt so intensely hot that he wanted to throw himself on her, press her down, ravish her without restraint, and then love her fiercely.
This little temptress!
"Brother Hao, I’m not talking to you anymore."
Seeing that he was staring blankly at her, Su Lin’s face flushed even hotter, and she quickly turned and ran out the door.
"Ah, how can this girl run so fast!"
Wang Hao watched Su Lin’s retreating figure, shook his head, and sighed helplessly.
As soon as Su Lin left, Wang Hao got ready to go check on the crops in the field.
On his way, he encountered the village head, who was walking while reading some documents.
Wang Hao greeted him, but the village head didn’t respond and just walked away.
"Are the higher-ups introducing some new policy that’s got them all in such a hurry?"
Watching the village head’s retreating back, Wang Hao muttered in confusion.
Wang Hao arrived at the fields, where the seeds he had planted days ago were starting to sprout one after another.
The growth looked promising, but the yield was still not good enough, so renting more land was urgent.
But everyone was an authentic farmer, clueless about the outside world’s economic development and market changes, so convincing them would take time.
"Ah, what to do now!"
Wang Hao had just arrived when he saw Wang Dazhu sitting at the edge of the field, frowning and sighing.
"Dad, what are you doing here?"
Wang Hao hurried over; his dad’s leg was still not fully healed, and a fall could be serious trouble.
Seeing Wang Dazhu with a furrowed brow, his eyes staring off into the distance without speaking...
Wang Hao could tell what he was thinking.
Now, no one wanted to rent their land to him, and the greenhouse vegetable project wasn’t progressing.
All the money was invested, and it was not about making a profit anymore; they didn’t even know when they would break even.
"Dad, it’s okay, we can start growing first. Once they see our results, they will come to us on their own," Wang Hao consoled with confidence.
"But everyone says they grow rice and soybeans every year, which gets them a few thousand to tens of thousands of income. If they rent the land to you, they’ll have to buy everything, which doesn’t seem worth it," Wang Dazhu said with a frown.
Wang Hao chuckled.
The villagers only saw the immediate benefits and lacked long-term vision.
But that was normal; after all, everyone had been poor for so many years, and most hadn’t studied much, so naturally they couldn’t think too far ahead.
"Dad, you’d better go home and rest. Don’t worry about the rest, I have my ways," consoled Wang Hao.
Watching Wang Dazhu’s receding figure, Wang Hao fell into deep thought.
The villagers must think the rent is too low. To get them to rent their land to him without worries, he would have to increase the rent.
What mattered most was to quickly get things moving and show the villagers hope. freeweɓnovel.cøm
After pondering for a while, he took out his cell phone and called Xia Xue.
"Mr. Wang, we’ve finished inventorying the equipment and are now preparing to load it and send it over to you," came a gentle and sweet voice from the other end of the phone — he realized he had missed Xia Xue’s lovely voice after a few days without it.
"The equipment’s not urgent, what’s most urgent is that you come over quickly. I need you, I’m almost dying here," Wang Hao said with a chuckle.
"What?" Xia Xue was startled for a moment, thinking she had heard wrong.
"Don’t get me wrong, I mean you should hurry over to give me some guidance with my work. I’ve encountered a small issue here," Wang Hao hurriedly explained as he realized the ambiguity in his words.
But the scenes from that night kept flashing through his mind, the fair skin, the enticing scent, the charming gasps...
The more he thought about it, the more restless he became, and he felt himself reacting physically... freeweɓnøvel.com
"Oh," Xia Xue responded indifferently over the phone before hanging up.
Wang Hao muttered a curse to himself, annoyed that the girl dared to hang up on him.
Just you wait until you get here; I’ll teach you a lesson!
Immediately after, his mind began to imagine indescribable scenes...
Since Xia Xue and the equipment could arrive today, the only issue left was the funding.
He was now preparing to lease thirty mu of land. If the rent per mu increased to fifty thousand, that would be a total of one and a half million.
Even without counting the five mu of his land, it would still require over one million yuan.
Chen Hongying had provided a deposit of one hundred fifty thousand yuan, claiming she would come to buy the Lingzhi on Sunday.
But Wang Hao wouldn’t touch that money until the deal was through.
If the business deal fell through, he’d have to refund that money to her.
In business, credibility is a must!
Now, the question was where to find one and a half million yuan all of a sudden.
Thinking about this gave Wang Hao a headache.
The bitterness within him, he didn’t know to whom he could turn.
After much consideration, Wang Hao finally decided to go to Zheng Cailian.
While he was on his way to Zheng Cailian’s home, he suddenly noticed that the haystack in the field was shaking.
Wang Hao stopped in his tracks, instinctively thinking it was Li Guang and Liu Xiulan fooling around there.
He slowed his steps and stealthily approached.
The voices became clearer now; they seemed to be two men’s voices.
Hearing this, Wang Hao’s eyes widened; Li Guang was really something, not picky about his partners at all!
Suddenly, he felt a thrill of excitement inside; if he caught them in the act, Li Guang would really have no place in the village anymore, let alone harboring any ideas about his Lingzhi.
"Did you really take it to the town?"
Li Guang sounded doubtful and pleasantly surprised.
"Not just the town, but also the county. Now it’s an order from the county to eliminate the centipedes, and they’ve told the town to oversee it," came the voice of Village Chief Zhao Youquan.
"The Village Chief sure knows how to handle things."
Li Guang smotheredly flattered.
"Of course, who else but me? That brat Wang Hao has interfered with my plans too many times. This time, he’ll get taught a lesson," Zhao Youquan said with a snort.
Hearing the voices of Zhao Youquan and Li Guang, Wang Hao knew that the two of them were definitely up to no good.
They were certainly plotting something.
So, he quietly hid to the side and listened carefully.
"Are you really sure what you saw were centipedes?" Zhao Youquan asked in a lower voice.
"Absolutely certain. That thing was a good twenty or thirty centimeters long, very poisonous. One of my big black dogs got bitten and died instantly; what a loss of a good dog," Li Guang said, his eyes widening with fear as he spoke.
"Then that’s good. When the time comes, you and those villagers will insist that it was Wang Hao who brought the centipedes. Let him catch them all by himself and see what he can do."
"Even if the Mountain God manifests, he’ll have to pay the price," the Village Chief said with a wicked grin.
Li Guang echoed in agreement.
"Good, this time we’ll make sure he doesn’t come back!"
