Chapter 68 Having Money, Land and Business

  "Hey? Isn't this the great Secretary Qin? How did you end up swimming in our small town's stinky ditch? How is it? Is the water quality good here? Are you having a wonderful time swimming?" Letting Qin Hongwei stew in the stinky ditch for a day, and chill for a day, Cheng Zihan finally led his men over with a smile.

  However, she just looked from afar, holding a loudspeaker and shouting at Qin Hongwei.

  She was frightened for a moment when she was settling accounts with Qin Hongwei. The dead man became enraged and splashed dirty water all over her body.

  The water in this stinky ditch is a collection of all the dirty water from people's homes, if you really get splashed by it, it's enough to make you die from the smell.

  Qin Hongwei's face had already turned pale and his lips were white, but when he heard Cheng Zihan's voice, he finally lifted his head and looked over, seeing from a distance that Cheng Zihan was standing on the shore with more than ten people.

  He immediately stuttered and shouted: "Save me... save my life..."

  Unfortunately, he is now very weak, his two legs are cold and trembling, and he doesn't dare to move. Now his legs are numb, and it's estimated that walking will be a problem.

  "Save you? Why should I save you? Give me a reason why I should save you, and if I'm satisfied, maybe I'll consider letting someone pull you up." Cheng Zihan said with one hand supporting her chin, looking very mature.

  Qin Hongwei's teeth chattered as he glared at Cheng Zihans, feeling an intense urge to pounce on her and bite her to death. However, after some thought, he restrained himself and weakly asked, "W-what do you want?"

  "I'm not an ungrateful person, but Secretary Qin, you always come to bother me after eating your fill every day. I'm also very troubled. Just like this time, you brought so many people to my plantation without reason, damaging so many valuable flower seedlings and medicinal materials. You destroyed my greenhouse, and if I didn't settle accounts with you for that, it would be fine. But you even injured over a hundred workers in my plantation, and now they're all hospitalized. Who should I go to for compensation for these losses?" Cheng Zihan said to Qin Hongwei with a pained expression.

  Qin Hongwei's eyes twitched violently at the corner when he heard Cheng Zihan's words.

  Although he indeed beat up the people in the plantation and smashed the greenhouse, when did he destroy any precious seedlings? Is it because they thought he didn't know flowers? The ones he trampled to death were just ordinary flower seedlings that cost a few dollars each, when did they become precious seedlings?

  But now, even if he knew that Cheng Zihuan intentionally wanted to harm him, there was nothing he could do. It's likely that Cheng Zihuan had already ordered Han Xuanshao to seal off the area, not allowing anyone to approach. No one would come to save him, and if Cheng Zihuan wanted him dead, it would be easy as pie.

  But Qin Hongwei thought that Cheng Zihan just wanted to extort some money from him, and didn't want him to die, so he was also relieved.

  "You just say how much money you want." Qin Hongwei thought, Cheng Zihan would at most want a hundred million or so, and this amount of money was enough to exchange for his life.

  Cheng Zihan laughed even more innocently, "I know Secretary Qin is very clean and honest, definitely not like those corrupt officials who are rich and oily. So, I won't cheat you. The total loss of my plantation has already been calculated by me, it's around 20 million. But since we have a good relationship, I'll give you a discount, just pay me 10 million."

  Cheng Zihan said with a look of "I'm doing you a favor", Qin Hongwei looked on from afar, getting so angry that he almost fainted and fell directly into the stinky ditch.

  He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. One million! One million! Good for Cheng Zihuan! She actually asked him for one million as soon as she opened her mouth!

  He? He'll give it to you? Don't be ridiculous!

  Seeing Qin Hongwei's body trembling with anger and not speaking, Cheng Ziheng sighed, looked at Qin Hongwei silently, "It seems that Qin Hongwei's life is not even worth 10 million. I came here for nothing today. I'll leave first. You guys, keep a good eye on things here, don't let a single fly in, and don't let anyone out!"

  Cheng Zihan said no more and ignored Qin Hongwei, walking away on her own.

  The area around the ditch was heavily guarded, and Han Xuan's people simply announced that a major case had occurred here, and no one was allowed to approach. Outside, there were armed police guarding, each holding an assault rifle, looking very serious, and naturally, no one dared to go forward to seek death.

  Cheng Zihan also arranged for a few people to guard inside, those were the bodyguards assigned by Han Xuanshao to her, now she was also someone who went out with bodyguards, and had become a small local tyrant.

  The plantation has been basically cleaned up. Most of the workers were seriously injured and have been arranged to be treated in the hospital, their families have also taken them over for care.

  The losses of the plantation have also been counted, plus the cost of treating injured workers and the cost of repairing greenhouses. The total loss is only around 200,000 yuan.

  The most expensive seedlings in the plantation now cost no more than 100 yuan per plant, and the ordinary ones are just a few dollars. The demand for these is extremely high, mostly needed in large quantities for garden greening. Due to low costs, the profit is relatively high.

  Think about it, a seed costs less than one cent, but after planting and selling, a single flower seedling can earn several dollars, and each time customers order in units of tens of thousands, so the profit is naturally considerable.

  It's likely that Qin Hongwei is also afraid of being framed by Cheng Zihan, so he doesn't dare to recklessly destroy the seedlings and trees in the garden. Only a few were accidentally trampled during their fight, but when it comes to Cheng Zihan, even if they trample a small grass, it may eventually become a rare flower worth over a million that was trampled to death by her.

  As a shrewd businesswoman, she must fully exploit the essence of being cunning, especially when facing Qin Hongwei, such a despicable person, she must be even more despicable than him.

  Because the plantation is now unmanned, Cheng Zihan was afraid that Cheng Hai and Li Lan would be exhausted, so he let Cheng Hai go and invite a few people back to help first.

  The village can use people who have basically been invited, so Cheng Zihan let Cheng Hai go and see if there are any other villages that are willing to work hard and not afraid of hardship. Those who do not work and want to get paid for nothing cannot be wanted.

  Cheng Hai quickly invited five people back, looking very honest and down-to-earth. They are now following Cheng Hai to clean up the plantation and repair the damaged greenhouse.

  Cheng Zihan saw no one was paying attention, so she directly entered the Tree Spirit Space.

  Mangcang and Qin Kexiu are both here, in front of them is a large area of thousand-hand Guanyin bamboo, which has grown very luxuriantly now. A big patch looks crystal clear and extremely beautiful.

  "How big it has grown!" Cheng Zihan was startled as she looked at it. When she left the plantation, it was only a small sprout, how did it grow so big now?

  Fortunately, I collected them in the Tree Spirit Space in time. Otherwise, your greenhouse might have burst. The soil quality of your greenhouse is special, and after adding the Celestial Silkworm Liquid, the plants grew extremely fast. When I discovered them, they had already filled the entire greenhouse. I immediately collected them into the Tree Spirit Space, which stopped their crazy growth."

  Cheng Zihan was also amazed.

  Luckily, I managed to clean up the mess in time; otherwise, if Qin Hongwei saw it, he would definitely make a big deal out of it.

  "Was it you who threw him into the sewer?"

  The old man nodded solemnly, "I don't like the look of him, but around here, only that stinky ditch is the dirtiest and smelliest, otherwise..."

  Mang Cang's words were not finished yet, when Cheng Zihan's mouth corners twitched violently, this Mang Cang was even more ruthless than her.

  Cheng Zihan took some Thousand-Handed Guanyin melons and left.

  The soup in the afternoon was arranged by Cheng Zihan for the person who sent it to the hospital, this thing is three times a day and needs to be drunk for seven days.

  Following Mang Cang's instructions, Cheng Zihan poured some more water from the soup into a small pond at the foot of the mountain.

  The bodyguard who was guarding at Xiangshui Gou in the afternoon came back.

  "Miss, Qin Hongwei said he's willing to pay the money, please let us bring him up." The bodyguard respectfully said to Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "Agreed? Immediately send someone to find Qin Jing and have her bring the money over. Once I receive the money, I'll rescue Qin Hongwei. If I don't see the money, I won't care about him and let him continue staying there."

  "Yes." The bodyguard's mouth twitched and he hastily followed Cheng Zihan's instructions.

  Cheng Zihan didn't care whether Qin Hongwei agreed or not, anyway, if he wasn't given money, let him rot wherever he was.

  Anyway, no one knows, and those who know won't say anything. At worst, if it's investigated later, just say he went there to kill himself and died inside.

  It's okay, Qin Jing finally came, and immediately went back to raise funds. In just one afternoon, she raised 10 million yuan.

  The Qin family is after all a big family, and there are still some foundations in the house. Coupled with the fact that the Qin family has been an official for generations, it's unknown how much money they've collected, so 10 million isn't a problem at all.

  But this made Qin Hongwei almost vomit blood.

  Cheng Zi Han sent someone to rescue Qin Hong Wei and then let Qin Jing take him back.

  As she was leaving, she warned Qin Jing, "Qin Jing, if you spread the word about what happened today, I can guarantee that the ones who will end up losing face and suffering will be none other than yourselves!"

  Qin Jing was furious, but she knew that Cheng Zihan wasn't lying. As the adopted daughter of Han Xuanzhao, it would be easy for the Han family to destroy the Qin family with their power and influence.

  "This time you're really ruthless, Qin Hongwei is probably furious, I'm afraid he'll have to lie in bed for a few days." Han Yi looked at Cheng Zihan's smug expression and couldn't help but laugh.

  Cheng Zihan smiled slyly, tossed the thing in her hand to one side, and then said to Han Yi: "What? Can't I just trick him once? Hmph, this Qin Hongwei has opposed me three or four times, last time he even had someone hide drugs to frame me, now it's already letting him off easy!"

  "You're basically rich now, this money..." Han Yi smiled helplessly and said to Cheng Zihuan.

  "I received the news that Wangcheng is selling land recently, I plan to go buy a few pieces of land back, now Qin Hongwei has sent me money, just in time, can buy a big piece of land." Cheng Zihan smiled lightly.

  According to current market prices, one square meter is about 100 yuan, and it also depends on the location. If it's a poor location, it may not even be worth 100 yuan.

  This time's auction location is not good because it's far from downtown and current traffic isn't developed yet, so the price will naturally be lower.

  This piece of land is actually quite close to the village where Cheng Zihang and his family live, and it's only about a half-hour walk away. The large tracts of land there are all going to be sold off, mainly because the Wangcheng Town government needs to raise funds for development. Now that the national policy has finally been implemented here, they're starting to focus on developing this area, but Wangcheng is really too poor - apart from those 960,000 hectares of land, there's nothing else. So they can only rely on selling land to make some money.

  But these lands cannot be sold out, the future development trend of Wangcheng is to establish itself as an industrialized city and develop into an industrial zone, so all aspects of roads need to be further improved.

  So the land that Wangcheng took out for auction is close to the village and cannot be developed into an industrial zone. The area is quite large, but most of the plots are scattered.

  There is also a piece of land with an area of several thousand square meters near Lijia Village that will be auctioned off. There are some other locations, but they are all around 1-2 thousand square meters in size, and most of them already have people growing vegetables and fruits on them. Even if you buy the land, it would still be difficult to reclaim it later on.

  "Your news is quite well-informed." Han Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Cheng Zihan's words.

  "That's right, don't think about who I am? Now I'm the goddaughter of your family's young uncle, who dares not to give me face? The town elder of Wangcheng has already come to inform me and plans to leave a good piece of land for me at a lower price. He secretly reported the lowest price to me, as long as I am a little higher than that price, I can get that land. Haha, this is my first time trying the unwritten rules, it feels not bad." Cheng Zihan smiled with some complacency, but her innocent and lovely appearance made Han Yi also laugh out loud.

  However, now Cheng Zihan's identity is different. In Wangcheng, she can almost walk sideways. Later, if Qin Hongwei wants to find trouble with her, he will have to be careful. Han Xuanshao was originally a very protective person, and his protection in the capital city was famous. No matter who you are, as long as you are someone he wants to protect, whoever dares to move a single hair will be slapped to death.

  Now he wants to protect Cheng Zihan, whoever dares to lay a hand on Cheng Zihan is really asking for death.

  Now it's estimated that everyone is rushing to curry favor with her, and the plantation business will soon pick up.

  However, Han Xuanshao will soon leave Wangcheng and return to the capital. Qin Hongwei dares not to make trouble in front of him, but behind his back, it is unknown what he will do.

  Qin Hongwei may have been wary of the Han family, but without concrete evidence to take him down, not even Han Xuanshao dared to make a move against him. This time, it was Qin Hongwei who had gone there himself, so it didn't count as Han Xuanshao taking action - he simply chose not to save him. If people found out, at most they would say he lacked humanity or something like that, but he wouldn't care. The Qin family's background wasn't simple either; if the big shot backing Qin Hongwei came out, even the Han family might be in trouble.

  "Zi Han, although this time we thoroughly outsmarted Qin Hongwei, but my younger brother will soon return to the capital. Qin Hongwei definitely won't let things go easily, and who knows, he might come looking for trouble again. Although I can protect you, if he's determined to frame you, there are some things that I'm not convenient to get involved in." Han Yi reminded Cheng Zi Han with some concern.

  "I knew that, but do you think I'm so easy to bully? He's not even doing his job properly as the secretary of the municipal party committee in Nanshi, yet he keeps coming to Wangcheng to cause me trouble. Hmph, I'll make him go back to Nanshi and stay there quietly until I've finished my business, then I'll deal with him!" Cheng Zihan's eyes sank, she definitely wouldn't let Qin Hongwei off the hook. Letting him die directly would be too easy for him, Cheng Zihan wanted to see him climb high and then fall hard, smashing into pieces!

  It's not the best time to bother him yet, so let's just spare him for now. However, his life is too easy-going, and sometimes it's good to give him some trouble.

  "Oh? What do you want to do?" Han Yi was somewhat curious.

  Cheng Zihan smiled faintly and leaned in close to Han Yi's ear, whispering her plan.

  Han Yi's mouth twitched violently at the words, and now he felt that compared to Cheng Zihan, this eight-year-old little girl, he was really too tender.

  But he also agreed with Cheng Zihans plan.

  Recently, the country has been cracking down heavily. With National Day approaching, there will definitely be a major anti-corruption campaign before then. The central government will send people to investigate in various provinces, cities and towns, and any officials found guilty of corruption will be immediately removed from office and investigated.

  Calculating the days, people from the central government should be coming down these few days. If Qin Hongwei doesn't return to Nan City to take charge at this time, it's likely that by the time he gets back, what will be waiting for him is Nan City's prison.

  Cheng Zihan's approach was actually very simple. Let the people sent by the central government stay in Nanshi for a few months, and they would leave only after National Day was over.

  She believes that Han Yi can easily accomplish this matter.

  A few months' time was enough for her to amass a fortune.

  "How about it? Want to help me out with this?" Cheng Zihan asked with a smile, looking at Han Yi's stunned expression.

  Han Yi nodded, "Of course, I'll notify my father right away and have him make arrangements. This time, there are people from the Han family among those who came, so it's absolutely no problem to have them stay in Nanshi for a few months. If we can find evidence of Qin Hongwei's crimes, that would be even better."

  "What's the hurry? He's just a municipal party secretary now. If something is really found out, he can easily push everything onto others. I believe with his abilities, it would be easy for him to find someone willing to take the fall for him. By then, not only will we fail to bring Qin Hongwei to justice, but we'll also end up implicating innocent people. Let's wait and see, I won't let Qin Hongwei off that easily. For now, let him enjoy himself a few more years. When I have enough power, just watch me make him pay for his actions." Cheng Zihan shook her head at Han Yi before speaking calmly.

  Her eyes were filled with too much hatred, leaving Han Yi momentarily stunned.

  He even felt that the person in front of him was no longer an eight-year-old girl, but a person with a deep blood feud.

  Cheng Zihan quickly regained her composure and became calm once again.

  The news of the land auction spread quickly, and Cheng Zihan saw the man who followed Qin Hongwei at the last auction again.

  He naturally also saw Cheng Zihan.

  He came this time just for Cheng Zihang.

  "Miss Cheng." The man walked to the front of Cheng Zihan, smiling warmly. If it weren't for Cheng Zihan seeing the coldness at the bottom of his eyes, I'm afraid everyone would be deceived by this fake appearance.

  Han Yi frowned as he looked at the newcomer, but didn't say a word.

  Cheng Zihan intuitively felt that there was some connection between the two, and Han Yi hadn't introduced her to this man's identity last time. Looking at Han Yi's expression of disgust when he saw him, it seemed that their relationship wasn't very good.

  If they weren't both men, Cheng Zihan would have even misunderstood that Han Yi had some kind of relationship with him.

  "Who are you?" Cheng Zihan glanced at the other person with a faint gaze and asked casually.

  "My surname is Yan, and I'm called Yan Han." Yan Han still had that elegant and refined demeanor, smiling faintly as he spoke.

  "Yan Han?" Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow.

  In the capital city, there are four major families. The giant in the political circle is the Han family, and then there's the Qin family. In the business world, it's the Yan family and the Situ family.

  However, the Situ family is relatively low-key and rarely shows up, so they don't have as much attention as the Yan family.

  But the family business of the Situs was in no way inferior to that of the Sits.

  The status of the Han family goes without saying. Even if the President of the country met the head of the Han family, they would still have to show respect.

  As for the Qin family, it's the backstage of Qin Hongwei, but the Qin family is in charge of the country's finances, and in terms of actual power, they naturally lose to the Han family. However, someone who can grasp the lifeline of a country's economy will not be simple. The Qin family is also not to be easily offended.

  However, Qin Hongwei's branch clearly does not belong to the main family, so as long as it is not a matter of family honor, no one will come out to rescue him.

  Yan Han is the most promising young generation of the Yan family and the most likely candidate to succeed as the next head of the family.

  However, Cheng Zihan was not interested in knowing Yan Han's identity. She only knew that this person was in cahoots with Qin Hongwei, so he was absolutely not a good person. Even though he looked very handsome, Cheng Zihan still felt uncomfortable looking at him.

  "I don't know what Young Master Yan has come here for?" Cheng Zihan quickly withdrew her thoughts and asked indifferently.

  She is now wearing a simple sportswear, with her long ponytail tied up, looking sunny and energetic.

  Yan Han's eyes flickered for a moment, then he smiled faintly, "Miss Cheng can call me Yan Han, no need to be so polite."

  Cheng Zihan didn't even bother to lift her eyelids and asked directly: "Yan Han, what brings you here?"

  Yan Han's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to maintain that warm smile: "I've come to discuss a business matter with you."

  "Business? Sorry, I'm not interested in your business. You can take your sincerity and leave." Cheng Zihan bluntly refused, she didn't even bother to listen to what Yan Han had to say about the business.

  This person looks uncomfortable to everyone, the whole person is hypocritical to death, Cheng Zihang doesn't like him at all, and naturally won't think that he can bring himself any good business.

  This guy is in cahoots with Qin Hongwei, who knows if he's looking for trouble or it's better not to get involved with him.

  "Miss Cheng, don't you want to hear the details of the cooperation and the profits you can get?" Yan Han was somewhat surprised. He had thought that Cheng Zihuan would at least listen to his next words before making a decision, but she had just heard his words and immediately refused, which made him feel a bit disappointed.

  "Not interested, I don't care about your business." Cheng Zihan hurriedly waved his hand and said with a look of disgust.

  She naturally knew what the Yan family mainly did, they were drug traffickers who made a fortune, and at first didn't know how much opium they had sold to harm people.

  At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, no matter what, they didn't execute this family by struggle sessions, but instead let them stay and continue to harm people.

  They are still mainly engaged in the business of drug trafficking, but now they have started to learn from others and sell cultural relics. They have sold a large number of national cultural treasures abroad, putting them on display in foreign museums.

  Cheng Zihan wouldn't dare say she's extremely patriotic, but as for betraying her country, she would rather die than do such a thing.

  Yan Han is this kind of person, she even thinks that talking to him is an insult to her own clothes.

  Go back and estimate that you will be scolded severely, otherwise you will be taught badly.

  Yan Han's mouth twitched, "Miss Cheng..."

  He hadn't finished speaking when Cheng Zihan coldly interrupted him, "Is that all? Didn't I say I'm not interested? Why haven't you left yet? Hurry up and leave, Han Dong, Han Lin, escort Mr. Yan out."

  Cheng Zihan finished speaking and immediately got up and turned around to leave.

  The two bodyguards behind her stepped forward, looking coldly at Yan Han, and made a gesture of invitation.

  Swallows cold air, never thought that Cheng Zihang would be so bluntly refused, even without giving him the opportunity to speak!

  But Yan Han knew that Cheng Zihan must have been referring to the land recently sold by Wangcheng, he really didn't believe it, the Cheng family had just risen to wealth, could her money be more than the Yan family's?

  Glared at Cheng Zihan's back, Yan Han walked away with a huff.

  Cheng Zihan directly entered the greenhouse.

  Han Yi also followed in.

  The greenhouse has newly planted flower seedlings inside, which have now grown quite a bit. It's estimated that they can be transplanted outdoors tomorrow.

  However, last time when transplanting the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Orchid, because a part of it was over-watered with Celestial Silkworm Liquid, now that part of the flower buds have already bloomed, and Cheng Ziheng is also quite helpless.

  "You're really not polite to Yan Han." Although Han Yi said so, but in his heart he was secretly pleased.

  He had been looking at Yan Han with dislike for a long time. That dead pervert not only looked lewd, but his behavior was also extremely lewd.

  In the capital city, he was caught numerous times for molesting young boys, but each time he managed to escape legal punishment because the country had not yet established relevant laws to deal with him.

  Yan Han is actually quite good-looking, but his interests and hobbies are extremely abnormal. He doesn't like women, instead he has a preference for men!

  As soon as he thought of Yan Han's gaze every time he looked at himself, Han Yi felt a chill!

  Especially when thinking about how he almost...when she was little, Han Yi felt a chill run down her spine and wished she could slap Yan Han to death.

  Now Cheng Zihan is doing this, no doubt giving him a bad breath.

  But Han Yi was worried about Cheng Zihan again, that Yan Han was unpredictable and ruthless, afraid he would come to find trouble for Cheng Zihan.

  He is even more difficult to deal with than Qin Hongwei.

  "Why should I be polite to him? Just looking at him makes me uncomfortable!" Cheng Zihan pouted.

  She also didn't know why, but every time she saw Yan Han's face, she felt especially disgusted and especially wanted to kick him. This feeling was deeply rooted, as if it had grown out of her soul. She was also very helpless about it.

  "However, his methods are cruel and his hobbies are also very unusual, you should be careful." Han Yi couldn't help but remind him.

  "What's your hobby?" Cheng Zihan immediately grasped the key point in Han Yi's words.

  Han Yi's face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head, even her ears were completely red.

  Cheng Zihan felt that there must be some ulterior motive. Could it be that Yan Han liked men? Had he even made a move on Han Yi before?

  Looking at Han Yi's strange behavior, Cheng Zihan felt more and more that this was possible.

  "What are you looking at me for?" Feeling Cheng Zihan's naked gaze, Han Yi was anxious and couldn't help but shout with a red face.

  Cheng Zihan smiled slyly, "Han Yi, did that Yan Han do something beastly to you?"

  Han Yi's neck turned red upon hearing this, he glared at Cheng Zihang and immediately ran away.

  Cheng Zihan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  This Han Yi is really interesting.

  The land auction is scheduled for May 20th, and Cheng Zihang calculated that there are still three days left.

  This time, there is only 10 million yuan of funds in hand from Qin Hongwei, and it is still unknown how much land can be obtained.

  Even if the current land price is much lower than in the future, it's still not a small amount.

  Fortunately, the auction here is a bit special and not a public one. Each participant writes their own reserve price on a cowhide envelope and hands it over to the organizer, who then conducts the statistics, with the highest bidder winning.

  No one knows what price the other party offers, but everyone has a bottom line in their heart. Just like Cheng Zihuan, she can only accept 100 yuan per square meter, and she is not willing to give more than a cent. And if it's those lands near the village, she is only willing to pay 20 yuan per square meter. After all, the traffic there is too inconvenient, and the use is subject to too many restrictions.

  Cheng Zihan temporarily only wants to buy land in two places. One is a 18,000 square meter plot of land near Lijia Village, and the price she offered is 20 yuan per square meter.

  There is also a piece of land near the plantation, nearly 100,000 square meters in size. The price she gave was sixty yuan per square meter. If the auction fails, it doesn't matter to her, because the value of these two pieces of land is just that much. If too much money is spent on buying the land and adding the money needed for later development, it will definitely be a loss.

  Who wants to make a loss-making business? Anyway, Cheng Zihang is unwilling.

  Arrived at the town government, Cheng Zihan went to take another look at the auction details and finally selected an additional piece of land.

  The location of this land is good, with a large area, although the transportation is not developed at present, but she doesn't mind repairing the road when necessary.

  The land there is 120,000 square meters, and Cheng Zihan quoted a price of 61 yuan per square meter.

  But this way, it exceeded the original budget, and more than 30 million was added.

  Cheng Zihan sighed, this money is really not easy to spend! If I had known earlier, I should have blackmailed Qin Hongwei for 200 million! Why was I so polite to him? Now, after spending all the money he gave me, I still have to pay out of my own pocket. What a loss! It's really too much of a loss!

  Cheng Zihan handed over the price list to the organizer's staff while secretly sighing in her heart.

  Fortunately, during this period, thanks to Han Xuan's relationship, the nursery business has improved a lot, and tens of thousands of flower seedlings have been sold out, making some money.

  The income from the medicine field is also pretty good, and with the trees, it's enough for her to squander.

  I didn't expect to see Yan Han here, and as soon as I saw him, Cheng Zihuan felt that something was definitely wrong.

  As expected, Yan Han gave a cold glance at Cheng Ziheng, his smile making Cheng Ziheng want to go over and beat him up.

  But thinking about it, forget it.

  Cheng Zihan squeezed out a sweet smile and walked towards Yan Han, "So it's Big Brother Yan Han, what wind brought you here today?"

  Cheng Zihan deliberately said something flattering, and even she herself couldn't help but vomit in her heart.

  Yan Han heard Cheng Zihan's words, his eyebrows jumped fiercely, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

  "I..." Yan Han was just about to speak when he suddenly felt like something had crawled into his throat, and then he looked down to see Cheng Zihan covering her mouth and secretly laughing.

  It wasn't easy getting the thing stuck in his throat swallowed, but Yan Han finally looked at Cheng Ziheng and asked, "You, what did you put in my mouth?"

  Cheng Zihan looked at Yan Han with an innocent expression: "You can't wrong me, how could I possibly put things in your mouth? You don't even look at your own height, even if I jump up and stand on a chair, I still can't reach."

  Cheng Zihan was already laughing to death in her heart.

  Actually, what she threw into Yan Han's mouth wasn't poison, but a croton seed. Originally, if Yan Han had spat it out, nothing would have happened, but he actually swallowed it instead.

  It's estimated that after about 10-8 days of diarrhea, it will be almost fine.

  Cheng Zihan said and then swaggered away.

  "You." Yan Han's face turned cold, just as he was about to speak, a sudden clap of thunder boomed outside, and everyone's eyes turned to look at him. He suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, wishing he could dig a hole and jump in.

  "Master, you..." At this time, the bodyguard following Yan Han couldn't help but pinch his nose and remind him.

  Yan Han suddenly looked down and found that there was a puddle of yellow stuff under his feet, and his face immediately turned red. He hurriedly covered his crotch and quickly escaped the scene. As for competing with Cheng Zihan for the spot, he had already forgotten about it completely.

  "Haha, hahaha......" Cheng Zihan covered her stomach and laughed so hard she was almost choking. This Yan Han really is shameless enough. On the way back, he'll probably get diarrhea and his anus will be all torn up.

  Consider this a big gift for him, let him be more careful when he offends me again in the future.

  The final result was roughly what Cheng Zihan had expected, and those three pieces of land unexpectedly fell into her pocket.

  The rest of the matter was left to Cheng Hai to take care of.

  Cheng Zihan bought three pieces of land, only the one near Lijia Village was 18,000 square meters and not contiguous. The villagers nearby had already enclosed a part of the land, probably because they received news that it would be developed soon, so they quickly started to cultivate their own plots of land and plant what they liked.

  The remaining two plots of land are still in good locations, the 120,000 square meter plot is a bit far from the plantation and even farther from Lijia Village. That area has not been developed yet, it's all muddy swamps around there, and there are no nearby villages either.

  Cheng Zihan went to see the environment there, and it is estimated that half of the land in that place can only be developed as a breeding farm or a plantation, while the rest can be developed into real estate.

  There are no decent roads around here, and most of the surrounding areas are sugarcane fields, adjacent to the Beijiang River embankment. In order to prevent soil erosion, it is generally not allowed to arbitrarily change the nature and purpose of the land. Fortunately, the land is vast, and the land along the Beijiang River embankment can be directly used for fish ponds to raise fish. The base of the fish pond can also be planted with vegetables and fruits, and a pigpen can be built on the base of the fish pond to raise pigs.

  After Cheng Zihan went to inspect, he immediately went back to pick up paper and pen, started planning, and also prepared to write a more detailed business plan. The development and use of the land in hand were written out one by one.

  Qin Hongwei had rolled back to Nan City a few days ago, so now no one came to bother her, and she was happy and carefree.

  That Yan Han probably hasn't finished pulling it off yet. After eating Cheng Zihans secret strong broad bean, it is absolutely a good product for clearing the intestines and detoxifying weight loss.

  The workers in the plantation have basically all been discharged from hospital and returned to work, because the plantation is going to expand recently, Cheng Zihang has recruited a lot of people back.

  There are now over three hundred workers in the plantation, more than Cheng Zihan had budgeted for.

  Fortunately, I have bought back a lot of land recently. The piece of land next to the plantation was directly divided and merged into the plantation by Chengzi Han, so the plantation has expanded more than twice its original size.

  Now the garden greening plants have basically had a fixed market, and the originally lush forest area now only has some more expensive tree saplings and those few yellow pear trees left.

  The Huanghuali wood brought back last time has been processed for a period of time and can be sold now, but the boss temporarily does not plan to sell it. It is not the most expensive time for Huanghuali wood yet. The price will probably be higher during the peak season.

  The wood is now placed at home, but Cheng Hai and Li Lan spend most of their time in the plantation. Now they go back to rest only at night, and basically there is no one at home during the day.

  "This time, the newly purchased land has already been planned. The 120,000 square meters of land near Zhenglong, and the 60,000 square meters close to the dam, I plan to use all for fish ponds, build pig houses on top of the fish ponds, and plant some trees around that are good for soil and water conservation. As for the remaining land, it doesn't need to be touched for now." At this time, several old men from the planting garden gathered together for a meeting, and Cheng Ziheng spoke out his plan.

  Cheng Zihan has always been in charge of planning, and everyone else just comes to refer to her opinions. Since Cheng Zihan's plan didn't have any problems, after she finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

  Cheng Hai looked at the diagram drawn by Cheng Zihan on the sand table and nodded, "It's also possible to raise some chickens, ducks and geese in the fish pond. Anyway, it doesn't need much maintenance, as long as a protective fence is built around the fish pond to prevent them from running out. This way, we can also increase our income."

  Cheng Zihan smiled and nodded upon hearing this, which wasn't a big problem after all.

  A few people had no opinion and unanimously passed it.

  Cheng Hai is in charge of excavators, so he's responsible for handling this matter.

  In about a month, the 60,000 square meters of land will be transformed into rows and rows of fish ponds.

  "There's also the land around our Li Jia Village, everyone knows that some of the land here has been enclosed by various households, and it's estimated to be difficult to take back this land from them for development."

  "This piece of land that has been divided out is roughly three thousand square meters, which is not a small number. Many of you have family members who are involved in this, and I hope you can take care of their work when you return. Actually, I could have just taken the land back directly, but I didn't want to make things too awkward for everyone's sake." Cheng Ziheng then had someone bring out another sand table, which was a map of the surrounding area of Laijia Village.

  Those small houses are villages, and the places marked with red dots are enclosed lands.

  "No problem, we'll make it clear to them when we get home. Zihan gave us such a good job, of course, we won't take advantage of this cheap land, this land originally belonged to the country, now you spent money to buy it, that's yours." Others didn't have any opinions, anyway they had stable jobs now and their income wasn't bad either, no need to argue with Cheng Zihan over that worthless land, or else they would lose their jobs and that wouldn't be worth it.

  However, they are easy to talk to, but some people who are not our plantation staff may not be so easy to talk to. They were originally jealous that we could work in the plantation, and if they knew that Zihan had bought the land, they would likely take advantage of the situation to cause trouble. I know that your grandparents occupy the most land, Zihan, this matter may still require you to show up. Xu Pei looked at Cheng Zihan with a hesitant expression.

  Cheng Zihan naturally understood these things, but Rui Ying was too simple and didn't require much intelligence at all.

  "I'll handle this matter well, everyone can rest assured. Today is a day off, everyone go back and have a good rest, work will resume tomorrow. Those on duty are working hard, they will get a compensatory rest tomorrow." With that, Cheng Zihan stood up and said to the crowd with great momentum.

  Everyone burst out laughing and got up from their seats one after another.

  At noon, Cheng Zihan invited all the employees of Wangcheng Planting Garden to have lunch together. After finishing their meal, he arranged for people to send them back home one by one.

  Cheng Zihan arrived home at half past one in the afternoon.

  Han Yi has recently returned to Beijing and is expected to be back in two days. As for what happened, he didn't say.

  When she arrived at her doorstep, Cheng Zihan's eyebrows furrowed.

  The door has been pried open before, it seems someone sneaked into the house secretly.

  Cheng Zihan pushed open the door and strode in.

  In the hall, Cheng Shan and Liu Ying were carrying a large piece of Huanghuali wood as thick as a thigh, when they suddenly saw Cheng Zihan standing at the door, startling them so much that their hands went limp, causing the Huanghuali wood to clatter to the ground.

  Cheng Shan was also a connoisseur, and he naturally saw the origin of the wood. He knew that such a piece of wood would be worth a lot of money, and if they were lucky, it might even be enough for them to buy a house in Wangcheng. So, for a moment, he was blinded by greed and followed Liu Ying to steal the wood.

  Cheng Zihan coldly looked at the two people in front of her, and then lightly glanced at the wooden stick on the ground.

  That log is about 300-400 kilograms, and at the current price of Huanghuali wood, this 20-centimeter diameter Huanghuali wood costs around 80 yuan per kilogram. That's over 200,000 to almost 300,000 yuan.

  "What? Uncle and aunt have recently turned to stealing wood? I remember that if you break in now, the sentence is quite severe. This piece of wood isn't worth much either, it's only worth a little over 30,000 yuan, I reckon it's enough to get you both locked up for ten or twenty years." Cheng Zihan walked slowly over, glanced at the two of them and said calmly.

  Cheng Shan and Liu Ying immediately panicked upon hearing Cheng Zihan's words.

  Housebreaking is a felony, but if Cheng Zihang really reports the police and catches them, it's now that they have been caught red-handed, I'm afraid they will be sentenced to more than ten years in prison, and by then, their lives will be ruined.

  Thinking of the two, with a thud, they actually knelt down in front of Cheng Zihan, "Zihan, Zihan, please, you see that we are just momentarily confused, don't call the police, whatever you do, don't call the police."

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow and glanced at them coldly, "Not reporting to the police? Why not report to the police? Give me a reason for not reporting to the police."

  "Uh..." Cheng Shan and Liu Ying looked at each other in dismay.

  "If I'm not mistaken, this shouldn't be your first time sneaking around, right?" Seeing Cheng Shan and Liu Ying like that, Cheng Zihan walked over to them, squatted down in front of them, and asked.

  Cheng Shan and Liu Ying looked at Cheng Zihan with tears in their eyes, now they were caught on the spot, and no one knew how much wood was actually stored in Cheng Zihan's house. Even if Cheng Zihan wanted to frame them for stealing a lot of it, they couldn't explain themselves clearly now.

  "Go back and tell your mother, my grandmother, if you want to be safe, it's best not to stir up trouble for me! When the time comes and I take back that piece of land she fenced off, if anyone dares to make a peep, I'll immediately call the police and have you all arrested and taken to the public security bureau! You should know, I'm not the same as before. If I want you to spend the rest of your lives in prison, you'll be waiting with bated breath to wear out the soles of your shoes! So, it's best for you to be smart and not provoke me unless necessary!" Cheng Zihan shouted coldly, scaring Cheng Shan and Liu Ying into falling to the ground. As they looked at Cheng Zihan, they suddenly realized that this eight-year-old girl was really too frightening, giving them a feeling of being unable to see through her.

  "Get out!" Seeing the two looking at him with a terrified face, Cheng Zihan shouted again.

  Cheng Shan and Liu Ying almost rolled out together.

  It's estimated that Lai Ying won't dare to come looking for trouble for a long time, but unexpectedly Cheng Shan and Liu Ying actually took the initiative to deliver themselves to be abused, it's truly heaven helping me.

  Cheng Zihan thought with satisfaction, looking at the wooden plank on the ground. She didn't have the ability to move it inside, but now Cheng Shan and Liu Ying knew about the Huang Huali wood at home. They might talk too much and leak the secret out, which would be troublesome if someone remembered it later.

  There are still many drug addicts in the village, they can do anything for money, and there is no one at home during the day, I'm afraid it will attract these people to come.

  The conditions at home are getting better and better, I reckon they've already hired someone to take care of it. It seems that these woods need to be gotten rid of as soon as possible.

  Cheng Hai took the engineering team to dig a fish pond, Li Lan didn't return from the plantation until the afternoon, and brought back some fresh vegetables and meat.

  Cheng Zihan is drawing on the blueprint.

  She didn't study architecture, so she basically doesn't understand house design. Now she just draws a rough model of the house based on some of her memories, unexpectedly, it actually looks good!

  Is it possible that even painting skills have improved after rebirth?

  Looking at the house she drew herself, Cheng Zihan became more and more satisfied.

  Li Lan walked in and saw Cheng Zihan proudly holding a white paper, she couldn't help but walk over.

  "What is Zihuan looking at with such joy?"

  Cheng Zihan's hand shook, and the white paper in her hand almost fell out. She quickly looked up at Li Lan, smiled, and handed over the paper, "I was looking at the house I drew myself."

  Compared with the kind of painting I did back then, where a triangle was a roof and a square was a house, my level is now much higher.

  Li Lan took a look and also gave a thumbs up, "Not bad."

  After finishing speaking, she returned the painting paper to Cheng Zihan and went to prepare dinner.

  Cheng Hai's team were all his former workmates. This time they were invited to come, and brought four excavators with them. A total of six people came.

  They all have no place to live here, and they need to go home at night to live. The food is naturally eaten at home. Li Lan bought a lot of vegetables, spending as much as 100 yuan, which almost broke her heart.

  Normally, our family wouldn't spend so much money in a month, but in order to entertain those people well, there's no other choice.

  It was already eight o'clock when Cheng Hai came back in the evening.

  The dishes had already been prepared, and Cheng Zihan and Cheng Zixi couldn't wait that late, so they ate first.

  A group of big men noisily entered the house, Li Lan greeted them to eat, while Cheng Zihan and Cheng Zixi sat on the sofa watching TV.

  Thinking of them possibly staying at home for a month, and spending money on food every day, Li Lan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

  Cheng Hai arranged for them to live upstairs. After all, the downstairs was full of his own family members, and it wasn't very convenient for several big men to live downstairs.

  Several men were not content with their masters, after eating they went to the small shop to buy beer and drink, getting drunk and talking nonsense, saying things that children should not hear.

  Cheng Hai hurriedly sent Cheng Zihan and Cheng Zixi back to their room to sleep, while he and Li Lan stayed in the living room.

  Cheng Hai can't drink, one drink and he's allergic, so he doesn't join them in their madness. Seeing that they've had enough to drink, thinking about getting up at 6am the next day to rush to work, he tells everyone to go rest.

  A group of people drank until they were drunk and staggered upstairs to sleep.

  Cheng Zihan saw them and wanted to kick them all out, these people are not reliable at first glance, they really know how to enjoy themselves, looking at what they're wearing today, it's clear that they haven't worked hard.

  They all went upstairs before Cheng Zihan walked over and sat in front of Cheng Hai.

  "Dad, aren't they all just making excuses to slack off today?" How could Chengzi Han not see the exhaustion on Cheng Hai's face? Just thinking about it, she knew that those few people must have left all the tiring work for Cheng Hai to do.

  "They are also new here and probably not used to it." Cheng Hai tried to help them explain.

  "Damn it! A bunch of lazy bums! What's this about not being used to it? Tomorrow I'll go with you to supervise the work! Whoever dares to slack off and not do their job, just watch me beat them to death!" Cheng Zihan said through gritted teeth.

  Cheng Hai looked at her and couldn't help but rub her head: "Zi Han, if you're always so fierce, no one will want to marry you in the future."

  "If I don't get married, I'll just marry a man and bring him back home! Dad, don't give in to them. Although they drove the car here, we're not nothing without them. Don't let them think they're so great that we can't do without them. Mom, you too. Tomorrow, just one dish and one meat will be enough. Adding a egg drop soup with purple cabbage is fine, it's not like the president is coming. Do we need to spend over 100 yuan on food for them every day?" After scolding Cheng Hai, Cheng Zihan also scolded Li Lan, only then did she stop.

  The next morning, Cheng Zihan got up early.

  It's already 5:30 after checking the time, going out early on a workday won't be too hot and can also get more done.

  But those lazy people upstairs are still sleeping soundly, and no one came downstairs after calling several times.

  Cheng Zihan was furious, and directly told Cheng Hai to bring a bucket of cold water. The two went upstairs together, entered their room, first kicked with one foot, no response, then took the water scoop and poured a scoop of water directly on his head.

  The clear morning of May still has some chill, this basin of cold water on the head, all the sleepy insects are gone.

  The people who were awakened just wanted to make a move, but Cheng Zihan spoke first, "I asked you to come back to work, not to sleep in! Whoever is lazy and doesn't work for me will be kicked out directly! Don't think that only you can drive excavators and have cars! There aren't many three-legged turtles, are there going to be fewer four-legged people?"

  This sentence made them all dare not speak, and they got up one by one to go to work.

  Cheng Hai drove a car, and a group of people arrived at the construction site. As soon as Cheng Zihan saw this situation, he immediately got angry.

  It seems that these six people didn't do much work yesterday! Otherwise, with four cars and four months of continuous work in the afternoon, a fish pond would definitely be opened up!

  Everyone saw that Cheng Zihan's face was not right and immediately went to start the car and work, no one dared to find fault.

  Don't look at Cheng Zihan's young age, but when she scolds people, it can make you regret coming to this world.

  This time they didn't dare to slack off, each and every one of them worked hard with all their might. In just half a day's time, the fish pond on one side was already opened up, and it's estimated that the other side will be finished in another half hour.

  Cheng Zihan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  At noon, Li Lan came to deliver food. According to Cheng Zihan's requirements, there was one dish, one soup and one meat dish, not a single more. However, no one dared to have an opinion, and they obediently finished eating and rested for a while before continuing to work.

  According to the market price, a day's work for them is at most twenty yuan, but Cheng Ziheng is now giving them twenty-five yuan a day. Although it's only five yuan more, it's already a large sum of money for them.

  They started bullying Cheng Hai, none of them were willing to work honestly. But Cheng Zi Han got angry, they knew that if they continued like this, they would definitely be replaced later. Now it's not easy to find such a good job, and the project here is for a month, with more than 700 yuan in a month, including food and accommodation, such a good thing is hard to find anywhere.

  After a day, the fish pond was opened in all directions. Cheng Zihan's face finally eased up a bit.

  Although it has been opened up, it will still take some time to wrap things up afterwards, so it is estimated that it will take about a month to get everything done.

  Cheng Zihan went for three days in a row and basically didn't have any problems, so she let Cheng Hai continue to watch her, while she herself returned to the plantation.

  She was frightened to death, the large plantation only had five yellow pear trees standing alone, all the other trees were gone, leaving only holes.

  The flower seedling is also gone.

  As soon as Cheng Zihan returned, Liang Han, the manager of the nursery, hurried over and said, "You're back, Zihan. The business at the nursery has been booming these past few days, all the tree saplings and flower seedlings have been sold out."

  "Why didn't you inform me?" Cheng Zihan nodded upon hearing this and followed Liang Han hastily towards the direction of the greenhouse.

  "They can't get in touch with you. They've been staying directly at the plantation recently and haven't come back. Now there's no phone signal in the village, so it's impossible to contact anyone." Liang Han sighed and said.

  Cheng Zihan also had a headache.

  These seedlings are fine, there are some in the greenhouse now, and they can be sold directly. However, tree saplings are not available, and there are no large nurseries around, making it difficult to transport goods.

  "Are there any saplings left that haven't been sold out? What about flower seedlings?" Cheng Zihan asked as she walked.

  Li Hang shook his head, "The seedlings were all sold out today, and the customers who came later had no goods to give them. Now they are all in the nursery and refuse to leave. There is a batch of rose seedlings that have been ordered, but we don't have any goods to give to the other party, it's 10,000 seedlings."

  Cheng Zihan felt his head ache even more.

  10,000 seedlings, this is indeed a good number! The rose seedlings in the greenhouse are about 3,000, it seems that delivery will be possible in about two days. "Is it urgent?"

  "Hurry up, they'll be coming to collect the goods early tomorrow morning."

  Cheng Zihan's footsteps paused, and he turned his head to glare at Liang Han with a fierce gaze, making the latter's scalp feel numb.

  "Look at the good deed you've done! How could you not understand the number of seedlings in the plantation and hastily sign the order? Your bonus for this month will be deducted." Cheng Zihang said coldly, casting a glance at Liang Han.

  Liang Han did not dare to resist in any way, as long as this matter could be passed, it didn't matter if a month's bonus was deducted, even if this month's salary was deducted.

  As expected, I saw a large crowd of people making a ruckus at the entrance of the plantation from far away.

  Cheng Zihan rubbed her temples in a headache and walked over.

  "Big sister is here! Big sister, you must take charge for us. We told you early on that we wanted to book tree saplings, but now they're all gone!" As soon as they saw Cheng Zihan, someone immediately shouted out loud.

  Cheng Zihan raised her hand to signal the people in front of her to quiet down, and after everyone had calmed down, she said: "This time it was a mistake on our part. If you all want to get the seedlings urgently, please come over here first to register the type and quantity of seedlings you need, and we will arrange for delivery as soon as possible. The same applies to flower seedlings. I also want to make one thing clear: in the future, if you want to place an order, don't just mention it verbally to our staff; you must follow the rules and sign a formal order, specifying the time of pickup. This way, we can avoid situations like this from happening again. Now, please come over here one by one to register."

  "Cheng Xiaojie, what about my flower seedlings? I've already paid for them. Now you're not leaving a single one for me here. How do you plan to settle this?" Just as everyone was quieting down and lining up to register, a loud voice suddenly rang out from the back of the crowd.

  Cheng Zihan looked at the person speaking, she recognized this person, it was a shopkeeper from Wangcheng Flower and Bird Market, who also had some business dealings with the plantation, and could be considered a medium-sized customer, seemingly named Liu Sheng.

  "Boss Liu, aren't you supposed to receive the goods tomorrow? Don't worry, by the time you come tomorrow morning, everything will be ready." Cheng Zihan walked up to him and wanted to pat his shoulder, but seemed too short, so just chuckled.

  "Tomorrow morning? Don't lie to me." Liu Sheng looked at Cheng Zihan with some disbelief.

  "When did I ever cheat you? Don't worry, absolutely not, otherwise there would still be three thousand here now. If you're not at ease, I'll have someone give it to you first." Cheng Zihan listened to Liu Sheng's words and felt somewhat displeased.

  "Alright, alright. I'll come pick up the goods at 10 tomorrow. If one is missing, I'll definitely make trouble for you." Liu Sheng saw that Cheng Zihan had said this, and it wasn't good to continue making a scene, so he led his people away first.

  Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow and glanced at him, this matter didn't seem that simple today.

  It shouldn't be that so many people suddenly come to order so much goods, and make such a big commotion. Is someone secretly manipulating things?

  Cheng Zihan thought about it more and felt that this was possible. Now that Qin Hongwei is not in Wangcheng, the only person who might be against him is probably just one person.

  It seems like some people are living too comfortably and want to find some discomfort.

  Cheng Zihan's lips curled up in a cold smile.

  Yan Han, who was eating at the Wang Cheng Hotel, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and had a very bad feeling.

  Digression

  Yan Han: Cheng Zihan, you're just a little girl, don't be so obscene! Always thinking about my chrysanthemum! My delicate chrysanthemum was almost ruined by you last time!

  Cheng Zihan: What does it have to do with me? Everything has been arranged one by one, go find them one by one.

  It's not me, it's the reader...

  To all readers: Don't be a traitor, don't insult and humiliate others.

  Yan Han: I suddenly have a very bad feeling, my chrysanthemum is going to be ruined...

  Cheng Zihan slightly raised an eyebrow: Children shouldn't be too honest, usually honesty doesn't pay off and won't live long.
