“I’ll be back the day after tomorrow.” Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling’s shoulder as if she was a leader consoling a subordinate. Jun Shiling almost laughed from anger.
Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and did not speak. Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling’s ear. The heat pounced on his ear, making his heart surge. The words coming out of Xia Wanyuan’s mouth made Jun Shiling even more excited. “I’ll let you bully me once I’m back.”
Jun Shiling’s hand suddenly tightened as he looked at Xia Wanyuan with burning eyes. “Five times.”
“Then I’m not coming back.” Xia Wanyuan pretended to push Jun Shiling away.
“Okay, okay, okay. Once it shall be.” Jun Shiling rubbed Xia Wanyuan’s hair, thinking that it would not be up to her when the time came.
The next morning, Shen Qian waited for Xia Wanyuan in the company. Dongshan was a small place with no airport.
They could only take the plane to the nearest airport and change to another car.
There were many mountains on the way to the East Mountain. After a long and continuous mountain road, Xia Wanyuan and the rest finally arrived at the entrance to the East Mountain.
It was different from what Xia Wanyuan had imagined. Dongshan was not a deserted mountain village. In fact, the mountains were beautiful and the scenery was very good. However, because of the inconvenience of transportation, it was very difficult to go out. Even though they knew that this place was beautiful, not many people were willing to come.
“Let’s go to the village.” Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and wanted to take a look personally.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Shen Qian had stayed here with the melon seller aunt for a few days last time and was already somewhat familiar with this place.
Now, he brought Xia Wanyuan around the village. The soil here was not poor, and various fruit trees could be seen everywhere. Xia Wanyuan looked around. No wonder Shen Qian said that this was a very good fruit base.
Along the way, the thing that left the deepest impression on Xia Wanyuan was the god statues that could be seen everywhere. The people here were extremely superstitious. The profession of the sorcerer, which could no longer be seen outside, had a high status here. People had to go and ask for a fortune when they went out.
A large reason why the villagers did not allow the construction team to continue was because the people here had heard someone say that once the soil was touched, it would hurt the Feng Shui here and disturb the souls of their ancestors.
]Xia Wanyuan had a feeling that someone had deliberately released this rumor. “Have you found out who it is?”
“It was those melon sellers who bribed the sorcerers in the village. After all, after we repaired the road, the benefits they could gain from it would be completely gone.” Shen Qian plucked a fruit from a tree at the side and placed it in the spring water to wash it before handing it to Xia Wanyuan.
“Superstition? That’s easy.” Xia Wanyuan took a bite, and the fragrance of the juice overflowed. “Do it like this.”
Xia Wanyuan had instructed Shen Qian about some things. When Shen Qian heard this, he cast an admiring gaze at Xia Wanyuan. “CEO Xia, your method is really good. Do to them what they did to you. Now, those melon sellers have no choice.”
With Xia Wanyuan’s agreement, Shen Qian went to settle some matters while Xia Wanyuan strolled around the village herself.
The air in the mountains was good, and the spring water was clear. Wild grass and fruits could be seen everywhere. Xia Wanyuan took a small video and sent it to Jun Shiling.
In the office of the corporation, Jun Shiling was listening to Lin Jing report on work when his phone suddenly rang. Jun Shiling picked it up and looked at it with a gentle expression.
A basin floated across Lin Jing’s heart. The basin was filled with dog food.
Thinking of Jun Shiling’s promise to add another car to his year-end bonus, Lin Jing felt that dog food was actually quite delicious. He loved it..
