“This?” Chen Zhou couldn’t believe his eyes. “How is it possible? It is a miracle!”
Chen Ying smiled. “We can take a look around here, but we can’t go up the mountain.”
“OK,” Chen Zhou said.
The brother and sister stood at the foot of the mountains calmly looking at the quiet Nanshan Hill.
“This mountain seems to be more and more towering. Why is that?” Chen Zhou asked. “Is it an illusion?”
“No, I have the same feeling,” Chen Ying said.
“Sister, why don’t we buy a house and live here?” Chen Zhou suddenly asked.
“Hmm…” Chen Ying was surprised. “Do you like it here?”
“Yes,” Chen Zhou replied.
“Well, let me see,” Chen Ying said.
After returning to the village, she began to look into buying a house.
Another person buying a house? Wang Jianli was a little surprised at the news, especially since the buyer was from a big city. What happened to these people? Is this village really so good?
“Sorry to trouble you.” Chen Ying handed him a red packet.
“Thanks. Please wait a moment,” Wang Jianli said.
He couldn’t rush making a promise. If the request had happened in the past, it would have been easy to deal with. At that time, many of the houses in the mountain village were unoccupied. Now, although most of the houses were not occupied, they were being used by people in the village to exchange for a house in the city.
“Sorry,” Wang Jianli said.
Chen Ying was somewhat surprised. “I can add money.”
“That is not this reason.” Wang Jianli then explained the situation to Chen Ying.
“Does a person surnamed Sun own many of the houses?” she asked.
“Correct,” Wang Jianli said.
“Sun Yunsheng?” Chen Ying asked.
“Yes, that is his name,” Wang Jianli replied.
Chen Ying knew him. “Thank you.”
In the clinic, Wang Yao was surprised to hear that Chen Ying was going to buy a house in the village.
“I can make some inquiry for you.” He knew that most of the empty houses in the village would be Sun’s property.
Sun Yunsheng was very happy to receive a call from Wang Yao. Although he was no longer in the mountain village, he still liked to stay in contact with Wang Yao.
“House? Someone wants to buy one? No problem,” Sun Yunsheng said.
The Sun’s family was wealthy. The business they dealt in was of such a magnitude that the dozens of houses in that mountain village were not valued in their view. Their main goal was to maintain a good relationship with Wang Yao.
“Thank you,” Wang Yao said.
“You are too polite,” Sun Yunsheng said.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yao spoke with Chen Ying.
“He will come back a few days later, so you can talk to him then,” he said.
“OK, thank you,” Chen Ying said.
When it was almost at noon, Li Shiyu brought a truck full of trees and placed them at the foot of the mountain.
In the afternoon, Wang Yao closed the clinic and transported the trees to the mountains. He then began to dig holes. He did it very quickly, but it was still dark when he stopped.
Early the next morning, Wang Yao and his dog began to get busy on the mountain planting trees. Soon, there were dozens more trees on the mountain.
This time, the trees he wanted were more than three years old. Most of them were transferred from the south. Coupled with the role of the Nanshan climate and the spring water, the trees planted changed almost daily.
…
“I don’t mean to harsh, but how can you believe such a thing?” a middle-aged man asked.
The young man who had spent $100,000 buying medicine from Wang Yao went home and told his parents. They were not pleased.
“One dose of medicine costs $100,000?” his mother asked. “What do you think it is, some elixir?”
“Mom, those high-end cosmetics you bought are expensive, aren’t they? Just one set cost tens of thousands,” the young man said.
“That’s not the same. They are worth the price,” she replied.
“How do you know this medicine is not worthy,” the young man asked.
“Hey, you should argue with me!” His mother was unhappy.
“OK, since you have already bought it, try it in case it really works,” his father said.
“It would be strange if it worked,” his mother said.
The tall young man did not argue with his mother any more. He took the medicine and returned to his room.
He had already drunk some of it when he exited Wang Yao’s clinic and got into the car. After drinking it, he felt his abdomen warm. The heat was still slowly spread throughout his body, which made him feel very strange. It also raised his expectations for the medicine, which was why he argued with his mother.
I hope it would works!
He was tortured seriously by the disease. His belly hurt every time it relapsed. It was as if a mouse was inside running out of control. He had been told it couldn’t be cured completely, so he really hoped the medicine could work.
…
“Dad, I am afraid that I have something to trouble you,” Guo Zhenghe said.
“What is it?” Guo Songzhao asked.
“Su Xiaoxue.” Guo Zhenghe gave his father a cup of tea.
“I will return to Jing next week.” Guo Songzhao said, taking a sip of tea. He understood what his son meant since he had also heard it from his wife.
“All right,” Guo Zhenghe said.
“You should focus more on your work,” Guo Songzhao said. “External forces should be in the peripheral. You have to be a strong blacksmith if you want to make steel.”
He had high hopes for his son. This recent made him a bit concerned. In this area, it was good to combine conspiracy and plans but more focus should be placed on plans. However, his son seemed to prefer conspiracy.
“I still want to go to somewhere else,” Guo Zhenghe said.
“Where?” Guo Songzhao asked
“Dao.” Guo Zhenghe smiled.
The next day, Guo Zhenghe arrived in Dao and spoke with Sun Zhengrong.
“Guo, you have not been here for long. Please take a sit.” Sun Zhengrong valued Guo Zhenghe very much. Plus, his father was now the second leader in the entire province.
“Uncle Sun, this time I have afraid that I have something to trouble you with,” Guo Zhenghe said very politely.
“What is it?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“The county I am in is famously poor,” Guo Zhenghe said. “I want to attract some investment.”
“I see.” Sun Zhengrong said. “Why don’t you give me a copy of your county’s material. After I read it, I’ll convene the board to discuss it as soon as possible.”
“Oh, well, that would be great,” Guo Zhenghe said. “It won’t be too much trouble will it?”
“No worries,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“Is Yunsheng all right?” Guo Zhenghe asked.
“He is well,” Sun Zhengrong replied. “He just went out for something.”
After Guo Zhenghe left, Sun Zhengrong frowned slightly. “What are his intentions?”
As far as he knew, since Guo Zhenghe entered the officialdom, he almost never visited Qi Province because his father worked there as a high-ranking official. He did not come to avoid suspicion. Now, he had come to Dao for projects. Given his identity, he should not get any projects.
After leaving Dao, Guo Zhenghe did not rush home. Instead, he continued to go to west to the small mountain village in Lianshan County.
He was slightly shocked when seeing the exquisite building in the village. “Since when has there been such a fine building? It’s really nice.”
He looked outside the clinic for a while and then knocked on the door.
“Please come in.” A voice came out from inside.
As he entered, he noticed the delicate and small courtyard filled with the beauty of spring. He felt very comfortable after entering.
“Hello, Dr. Wang,” Guo Zhenghe said.
“Hey, how are you?” Wang Yao was very surprised to receive this guest.
“I came here to see you.” Guo Zhenghe put down the things in his hand.
“You are too polite. You don’t have to bring anything,” Wang Yao said.
“Oh, I want to show my appreciation,” Guo Zhenghe said. “After all, you saved my life. By the way, your house is very beautiful!”
“Thank you,” Wang Yao said.
The two sat down and talked for a while.
“Are you married yet?” Guo Zhenghe suddenly asked.
“No.” Wang Yao smiled.
“When you get married, don’t forget to invite me to have a drink,” Guo Zhenghe said.
“OK,” Wang Yao replied.
The rest of their conversation were phatic words. After about 10 minutes, Guo Zhenghe said goodbye and left.
Wang Yao wondered, What’s was his intention? Everything he said was irrelevant. Did he really just drop in here for that?”
