Chapter 69: This is called revenge for a grudge

  There were only 3,800 stocks of roses in the greenhouse. After Liu Sheng left, Cheng Zihan immediately arranged for all the workers to transplant them out, but they didn't directly plant them into the ground. Instead, they wrapped the roots with nursery soil and placed them on the empty land outside, each one packed in a bamboo basket.

  The peony flower is not expensive, a seedling only sells for ten yuan, so Cheng Zihuan did not buy too many seeds, and now there are no more seeds in hand.

  After some thought, she went on a trip to the flower and bird market and purchased a large quantity of seeds.

  Other customers' orders have also been counted one by one, and Cheng Zihang suddenly felt that this greenhouse was too small. At first, he thought the greenhouse was very large, but now it couldn't even meet the demand of others in a day.

  It's time to plan for expansion.

  Cheng Zihan stroked her chin, bought big and small bags of things, and left the flower and bird market.

  He had just walked out of the market when he was stopped by someone.

  "Miss Cheng." The newcomer wailed.

  Cheng Zihan raised her head and glanced at the people in front of her lightly.

  The person who came was Qin Hongtao, who had not been seen for many days.

  It's been half a month since he last came to see me, and it seems that the day he was supposed to deliver the goods is in a month, now half of the time has passed, I'm afraid he's also anxious, so he found himself.

  However, Cheng Zihan was not interested in helping him. His life or death did not matter to her, and she was too busy now to have the energy to be a good Samaritan.

  "Is something wrong with Mr. Qin?" Cheng Zihan still asked politely.

  Qin Hongtao looked at Cheng Zihuan with a sharp gaze, "Miss Cheng, you really want to help me. As long as you are willing to help, no matter how much money I am willing to give, I can sell it to you at the original price of the opponent's order, without making a single penny from you."

  Qin Hongtao was really anxious, during this period he searched all over the country's flower markets, but couldn't find any high-quality peony seedlings.

  The central side came to urge again two days ago, and there are only half a month left, he really has no way.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him faintly, smiled coldly and said, "It's really sorry, Mr. Qin. Our nursery business has been exceptionally good lately, and the supply of flower seedlings can't keep up with the demand. We still owe a large number of flower seedlings and tree seedlings, and I'm worried about where to get such a large quantity of seedlings to deliver. You're busy, and I really can't help."

  "Miss Cheng, Miss Cheng, don't rush to refuse me, please. I can give you 50,000 yuan for an ordinary peony seedling and 200,000 yuan for a variant of the first case red. Please cooperate with me, and in the future, we can maintain a good cooperative relationship. The flower varieties you need will be provided free of charge. If your planting garden is unable to supply goods temporarily, I can help you find external aid to help you get through the difficult period of supply. Just ask you to help me this once." Qin Hongtao saw Cheng Zihuan wanting to leave and hurriedly stepped forward to block her way.

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow, gave him a light glance, and curled up the corners of his mouth with a cold smile. If he hadn't asked Qin Hongwei to help out back then, if he didn't have any relation with the Qin family, or else Cheng Zihan would also owe him one today for helping him out this time.

  Unfortunately, it's a pity that Qin Hongtao happened to be brothers with Qin Hongwei, and he was the family member of the person she hated the most. So, even if Qin Hongtao died in front of her today, she wouldn't take another look at him.

  "Boss Qin, I'm a flower planter, not a magician. My nursery is almost empty now and all the seedlings are almost sold out. Where can I get the peony seedlings you want? It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I really can't do anything about it. You'd better think of another way. Sorry." Cheng Zihan patted Qin Hongtao's hand and walked forward past him.

  Qin Hongtao was shocked and stood still on the spot, unable to move for a long time.

  Cheng Zihan has gone far away.

  Back to the plantation, I saw that many people came to place orders, but now it's really hard to produce goods, so even if there is business, I don't dare to do it.

  Cheng Hai is busy with the fish pond project now, and all the tree saplings have been handed over to Liang Han for management.

  The saplings on Lao Ya Mountain are still quite a few, and the goods for the current orders can be supplied as long as the workers in the planting garden work hard to dig them out. However, if a large number of trees are transplanted from the mountain, it will cause great harm to the mountain body, which is not a solution after all.

  Cheng Zihan instructed that the goods of the orders that have already been signed and contracted should be delivered first, and other orders would no longer be accepted.

  In addition to rose seedlings, there are also chrysanthemum and rose seedlings, which have been ordered in large quantities.

  Cheng Zihan returned to the plantation and immediately entered the greenhouse, where she planted the seeds she had just bought one by one.

  After finishing planting, she finally let out a breath and began taking out her notebook to record the seed germination situation.

  The seed germinated in just 15 minutes after sowing, which is even faster than before. This speed is already quite abnormal.

  By 8 pm, it can be transplanted directly.

  Cheng Zihan immediately arranged for someone to come in and transplant all the flower seedlings. After everything was done, it was already midnight, but at least they could deliver them before tomorrow morning.

  It's really exhausting after all this trouble.

  The saplings were also transported back in large quantities, with all the branches and leaves cut off, leaving only the bare tree trunks. Cheng Zihang arranged for them to be put aside first, rest for a night, and then deal with them again the next morning.

  Liang Han walked over at this time, looking at Cheng Zihuan, his facial expression was also somewhat unpleasant. "Zihuan, some bad news."

  Cheng Zihan's eyebrows jumped up and down before she asked, "What bad news?"

  "The saplings that can be used in the mountain have been almost used up. Now the villagers have opinions and do not allow us to continue destroying the vegetation on the mountain. I'm afraid we won't be able to go to the mountain to get saplings again." Liang Han sighed and told everything one by one.

  This situation is really terrible.

  It seems that in addition to the flower seedling cultivation area, a tree seedling cultivation area should also be established.

  But the soil in this garden is the only place where plants can grow so quickly, and she has already tried other places that are not possible. Even if a seedling cultivation area is really established, it will be a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the current problem at all.

  "Can the seedlings that have just arrived meet this batch of orders?" Cheng Zihan thought for a moment before walking towards the forest area.

  Liang Han hurriedly followed her footsteps, where there were many saplings, but the quantity was still somewhat different from what had been ordered.

  It seems there's no need for Liang Han to answer; she already knows the answer herself.

  The saplings here absolutely cannot meet this batch of orders.

  It seems that business being too good is also not a good thing.

  It seems that I really need to find a nursery that can provide long-term cooperation with tree seedlings, otherwise, I'm afraid this kind of situation will continue to happen in the future.

  The development of the plantation has not been long, but it has developed too quickly, which is why it now faces this predicament. In the end, Cheng Zihang was a bit too aggressive.

  She began to seriously reflect on her own problems, now all sorts of problems were placed in front of her, Cheng Zihuan deeply realized that she really needed a housekeeper!

  If someone can make statistics on all the types of tree seedlings, flower seedlings, prices, ordering situations, and remaining situations in the plantation, and there are accounts that can be queried, how could today's situation possibly occur?

  Cheng Zihan has too many things to attend to and sometimes can't keep up with everything, which is when the person in charge of keeping track of things becomes very important.

  It's mainly a manpower issue.

  There are many people in the plantation now, but most of them are honest and hardworking farmers who have spent their whole lives working hard. They can plant trees and dig holes, and they don't have a big problem with physical labor, but when it comes to things that require culture or technical knowledge, they are completely clueless.

  Unfortunately, that damned Qin Kexiu can't show up to help. Recently, he's been mysteriously running around somewhere every day, so if he were here, would I need to be so troubled?

  Think about this useless ghost, following himself for so long, and he really hasn't done anything meaningful. Cheng Zihan has already thought it through, if Qin Kexiu doesn't do something real soon, she'll just abandon him.

  "Let's do it this way, Liang Bo. You're also tired. Let's all go back and rest for now, and we'll make plans again tomorrow." Cheng Zihan let out a somewhat weary sigh, but still decided to let everyone go back and rest first.

  Most people in the plantation no longer go home, only Cheng Zihang still has to return to the village overnight, but there is no one to drive and send her, looking at the dark night with a little anxiety.

  At this time, Qin Kexiu finally appeared without showing his face all along.

  He floated in mid-air, looking down at Cheng Zihan with a faint glow emanating from his body.

  Cheng Zihan looked up at him with an unfriendly expression.

  "Qin Ke Xiu, where have you been running to every day? You're nowhere to be seen lately!" At first, she had high hopes that with Qin Ke Xiu, a professional housekeeper, around, she could relax a bit. After all, she was most afraid of those financial accounts and numbers, just looking at them made her head feel like it was going to explode.

  "Cheng Zihan, just wait for seven more days. After seven days, I can come out and help you." Qin Kexiu looked up at the sky, then lowered his head to look at Cheng Zihan before hastily saying.

  Cheng Zihan also looked up at the sky, where seven very bright stars were about to form a straight line on the horizon. Even someone like Cheng Zihan who didn't understand astronomical phenomena could tell that something was going to happen.

  She glanced at Qin Kexiu again and nodded slightly, "Alright, I'll give you seven more days."

  These seven days, it was all her hard work.

  Cheng Zihan rubbed her temples.

  At this time, I saw the car lights coming from afar, and soon heard the sound of the engine. Cheng Zihan looked over with some surprise, and indeed it was Cheng Hai who had come to pick her up.

  Cheng Hai came out because he was worried about Cheng Zi Han not returning home so late.

  It's already past 12 o'clock now, but Cheng Zihan still hasn't returned home.

  Seeing Cheng Zihan standing there, Cheng Hai hurriedly stopped the car and went over to look at Cheng Zihan, looking left and right, making sure she was okay before letting out a sigh of relief.

  "How come you're still not going home so late today?" Cheng Hai brought up with Cheng Zihan on the car, and he couldn't help but rebuke a little.

  "There was a situation at the plantation, I handled it late, just finished handling it now, so that's why I'm late." Cheng Zihan looked at Cheng Hai and stuck out her tongue, smiling somewhat playfully.

  Cheng Hai rubbed her head with his hand and didn't say anything. He quickly started the car and rushed home.

  It was already late when she got home, and Cheng Zihan didn't even have time to take a bath, so she just washed her face casually and went to sleep.

  She was really exhausted tonight, as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.

  The next day, she got up again before six o'clock, hastily washed and dressed, and then rushed out to the plantation.

  Liu Sheng arrived really on time. When Cheng Zihang arrived at the plantation before 7 o'clock, Liu Sheng was already waiting at the door with his men.

  Everyone was busy until late last night, at this point many people are still in their dreams, only a few have gotten up.

  When he saw Cheng Zihan coming, he hurriedly went to greet him.

  "Zi Han, Liu boss arrived early and was waiting there before 7 o'clock." Er Hu Zi said in a low voice while looking at Cheng Zi Han.

  Cheng Zihan nodded and walked towards the other person.

  "Mr. Liu, you're really early, come in first." Cheng Zihan went over and instructed someone to open the door before welcoming Liu Sheng inside.

  Liu Sheng looked at Cheng Zihan and smiled coldly, "I'm here to pick up the goods today. Although I came a bit early, but compared to coming two hours later, I don't think it makes much difference. Are my flower seedlings ready?"

  Cheng Zihan smiled faintly and led him inside.

  Yesterday's empty seedbed is now filled with all sorts of flower seedlings, each one a vibrant green delight.

  Liu Sheng's eyes almost popped out of his head.

  He originally thought that if he came today, Cheng Zihan would definitely not be able to deliver the goods, and at that time, he would have made a small profit by compensating ten times the money.

  But now it seems he was wrong.

  "This is just overnight, how did these seedlings grow?" Liu Sheng couldn't quite believe his eyes, and rubbed them several times along the way, but still clearly saw large patches of green shoots appearing in front of him, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

  "You don't need to worry about this, I have my own way. I'll arrange someone to follow you and check the goods now, you can also arrange someone to help out." Cheng Zihan interrupted Liu Sheng with a cold tone, this person was obviously looking for trouble on purpose, how could Cheng Zihan be polite to him?

  I think this person was arranged by that Yan Han Xiao Jian. Last time, the lesson from Ba Dou was still a bit light, and he still doesn't know how to restrain himself.

  Liu Sheng knew that Cheng Zihan didn't like him, so he instructed the two people behind him to accompany Er Huazi and them to count the flower seedlings.

  One hundred seedlings were bundled together into a bundle and then Liu Sheng's people came to take them away.

  The last ten thousand seedlings were delivered on time, and Liu Sheng also settled the remaining payment before leaving the nursery.

  "Miss Cheng, I hope we can maintain a good cooperative relationship in the future." As Liu Sheng was about to leave, he wanted to reach out and hold Miss Cheng's hand, but seeing her unfriendly expression, he stopped in time and only managed to say a polite phrase.

  Cheng Zihan coldly hummed and didn't say anything, letting people send them away.

  In the morning, there were still people coming intermittently to pick up goods. By 4 pm, all the flower seedlings in that area were gone again.

  Cheng Zihan had all the seedlings in the greenhouse moved out and planted them in the soil this time.

  Looking at the large pieces of flower buds growing vigorously, Cheng Zihan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  The plantation must also be expanded, otherwise, how can we supply the market for seedlings and flower seedlings in other surrounding cities in the future?

  However, the land that has been set aside as a plantation is not yet fully planted with flowers and trees. If it were, the situation would likely be different.

  The drainage and irrigation project has just been completed, and it will be much more convenient to irrigate in the future, without the need for manual watering.

  The seedlings have not been picked up yet, in order to prevent the seedlings from leaving the soil for too long and losing their vitality, Liang Han has already taken people to plant them all in the ground.

  They will come to pick up the goods in three days, and three days is enough for these seedlings to grow well.

  Those few yellow flower pear trees have been asked about recently, but how could Cheng Zihan possibly sell them? She is now preparing to find time to transplant and try to see if it can be successful. If it is successful, a special area of yellow flower pear tree forest will be opened up.

  "I'm exhausted." He closed the notebook that recorded the number of saplings and seedlings in the plantation, now without a computer, everything had to be handwritten, it was really troublesome.

  Cheng Zihan now misses computers so much, as long as they are formatted and various data is entered, formulas can be automatically applied to calculate and it's so convenient.

  Cheng Zihan fell directly to the ground, with his hands clasped behind his head, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky and couldn't help but sigh. Faces floated by in the sky, including Zhou Ziran's, Qin Kexiu's, Han Yi's, Han Xuanshao's, Duan Yitong's, Cheng Hai's, Li Lan's, and Cheng Zixi's.

  It's been three months since I came back, and Cheng Zihan feels like everything is like a dream, very unreal.

  There were footsteps beside my ear, gradually getting closer.

  Cheng Zihan narrowed her eyes, with the back of her hand covering her face, blocking it from view. Through the gaps between her fingers, she saw a figure in white walking slowly towards her, with a warm smile on its face.

  Cheng Zihan jumped up directly, sat cross-legged, and smiled brightly at the young man who appeared in front of her.

  "Korean Yi, you're back." Many years later, on a warm day, as soon as she thought of this young man, Chen Zihans heart still felt some warmth spreading out, faintly and warmly, making her heart moist.

  Han Yi squatted down, reached out to scratch the tip of Cheng Zihan's nose, and the smile on his face was warmer than the sunlight. "I'm back."

  Cheng Zihan also burst out with a bright and beautiful smile, suddenly stretched out her hand to grab Han Yi's arm, and pulled him down to sit beside her.

  Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the dark clouds, bringing a warm but slightly chilly feeling.

  The weather in the south is like this, it's already summer by the end of May, but from time to time, there is still a feeling of dampness and coldness, I guess it will be until the end of June or early July when the weather will really start to heat up.

  Han Yi was still wearing a white shirt, clean and bright, setting off the clean smile on his face, making people feel inexplicably comfortable.

  She inexplicably liked his smile, clean and pure like a white sheet of paper, always radiating a light that made her happy.

  "Is there something going on this time you're going back?" Cheng Zihan asked softly, her hands clasped behind her head and her face turned to look at Han Yi.

  Han Yi also lay down, putting his hands behind his head, looking at the unclear sky, and a somewhat ethereal voice came over, "No, Xiaohui went back to mention your affairs, and told your father about those things you did to Qin Hongwei. Your father is very interested in you, so he found me to come back and ask about your situation."

  When Han Yi spoke, his eyes were looking at the sky and did not look at Cheng Zihan.

  For some reason, Cheng Zihan felt that his voice was a bit ethereal, and he himself also became somewhat ethereal.

  This feeling is really terrible.

  Cheng Zihan's good-looking eyebrows slightly furrowed, but she forced herself to try not to think about those things that made her feel terrible.

  Han Yi went back and was definitely criticized, probably because the matter is related to himself.

  But Cheng Zihan understood that Han Yi would never tell her anything, he was always so gentle a man, no matter what happened, he would always endure it himself, how could he possibly tell her?

  "What bad things have you said about me?" Cheng Zihan looked at Han Yi with a pretended calmness, trying to make her tone sound lighter.

  Han Yi, being a sensitive person, still picked up on the abnormality from Cheng Zihan's tone. He turned his head around, looking at Cheng Zihan with a warm smile still plastered on his face, but with an obvious hint of bitterness in it. "Tell me, how did you bully Qin Hongwei and swindle him out of some money?"

  Cheng Zihan hehe smiled twice, then felt that she was smiling too hypocritically, so she stopped again, silently looking at the sky.

  She couldn't hear what was going on in Han Yi's mind at this time, but looking at his expression, she knew that the old men of the Han family must have made things difficult for him and would probably bluntly refuse to let him associate with her.

  Also, such a proud and noble person, how can she mix with this kind of nouveau riche?

  Cheng Zihan smiled self-deprecatingly.

  Seeing Cheng Zihan's expression, Han Yi also guessed what she was thinking and quickly explained: "Zihan, don't think wildly, it's not because of my family, but because I'm going to leave. My grandfather has contacted a doctor in the US for me to have a heart transplant surgery there, and I may be gone for a long time before coming back, or maybe...I won't come back at all."

  "Shoo! What's with the 'never coming back' nonsense? You'll definitely be back! Don't jinx it!" Cheng Zihan spat out a mouthful, glared at Han Yi and scolded.

  Han Yi smiled and stopped talking.

  The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, and Cheng Zihan felt suffocated in her heart. She looked at Han Yi, sighed again and again, and finally went over to hug him. "Han Yi, no matter what, you must come back."

  Han Yi nodded slightly, his eyes somewhat moist.

  Han Yi's trip was set three days later, and he returned to Wangcheng just to say goodbye to Cheng Zihan.

  Although they hadn't spent much time together, Cheng Zihan felt as if she had known him for a lifetime.

  The last three days were very calm, and the two of them were busy in the garden every day. Han Yi left behind three large notebooks for Cheng Zihuan, filled with his records of the living habits of some common flowers and plants, each page accompanied by a drawing and a specimen.

  This notebook is very useful, at least for Cheng Zihuan, it can help her a lot.

  When Han Yi left, Cheng Zihuan had not gotten out of bed yet. By the time she got up and wanted to see him off, he was already gone. At the door, only a note was left with two powerful words: Goodbye.

  No signature either.

  Cheng Zihan held the paper and cried inexplicably.

  She ran along the village path, running far away, but didn't see Han Yi's car anywhere. She guessed he must have left quietly at dawn, afraid of seeing Cheng Zihan's tears when they parted ways.

  After Han Yi left, Cheng Zihan was not in good spirits for two or three days. She felt a bit dazed all the time and sometimes woke up in the middle of the night to see Han Yi sitting at the head of her bed, but when she rubbed her eyes, he disappeared.

  Cheng Zihan knew that her feelings for Han Yi were not love, but Han Yi seemed to be a part of her body, like her bones. The kind of intimacy that felt like they were related by blood made her feel like she couldn't let go.

  The situation in the plantation has slowly recovered. Cheng Zihan made a very detailed account, recording the number of each plant in the plantation.

  Many trees on the side of Lao Ya Mountain were dug up, and to avoid damaging the vegetation there, Cheng Zihang arranged for people to replant some saplings.

  The seven-day period passed in the blink of an eye.

  That day, Qin Kexiu finally appeared in front of Cheng Zihan, and his actual appearance didn't look like a soul at all.

  "You can come out now?" Cheng Zihan looked at Qin Kexiu with some shock.

  "However, if I were to meet someone with a high level of cultivation, they would be able to see through my identity at a glance. I can only help you here, and as long as I don't have a physical body for one day, I won't be able to truly accompany you by your side." Qin Kesou smiled at Cheng Zihuan.

  Cheng Zihan reached out to touch Qin Kexiu, and indeed he could feel him, but his hand was icy cold, without a hint of warmth, making Cheng Zihan feel as if he were touching a block of ice.

  "What have you done? Why can you appear in front of others now?" Cheng Zihan was somewhat puzzled.

  Qin Kesou shook his head, "I can't tell you."

  Cheng Zihan made a face at Qin Kexiu, "You don't want to say it, then forget it. Now that you can come out, hurry up and get to work! You said I could order you around as I please, but recently it's all been me doing the work, and I haven't seen your shadow all day." Cheng Zihan tossed the account book in her hand into Qin Kexiu's arms.

  Qin Kesou took it over, a cold sweat on his head. When he saw clearly the so-called account made by Cheng Zihan, there was even more cold sweat on his forehead.

  He caught up with Cheng Zihan, "Cheng Zihan, I want to ask you, what major did you study in the first place."

  "I? I studied international trade back then." Cheng Zihan said with a puzzled look at Qin Kexiu.

  Qin Kes mouth twitched violently, "Then you this..."

  Cheng Zihan took a glance at the account book he handed over, and his mouth twitched slightly as he chuckled, "Ah, I used to make tables on computer back then, now it's a bit rough doing it by hand. Just bear with it for now, if you're not used to looking at it, you can reorganize and make a new table. I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave first..."

  Cheng Zihan's words were cut off, and his escape attempt naturally failed. He was dragged by Qin Kexiu, pulling him towards the greenhouse.

  The owner of the plantation saw a handsome man dragging Cheng Zihang's collar, and a group of people were gossiping and guessing about the identity of this handsome man.

  It's said that Cheng Zihang has too many handsome guys around him, and they just pop up out of nowhere. They've all become somewhat numb to it already.

  "What are you doing?" was thrown into the greenhouse, and finally made a dissatisfied protest.

  Qin Kesuo gave her a glance, "You need to learn how to keep accounts, sit down."

  Cheng Zihan was already sitting on the ground. She raised her head and gave Qin Kexiu a white eye, coldly snorted and turned away.

  Qin Ke Xiu sat down in front of her, holding a pen and carefully guiding Cheng Zi Han with the accounts.

  Have to say, if following Qin Ke's method to make records, it seems really much simpler.

  Cheng Zihan looked at the table drawn by Qin Kexiu, seemingly deep in thought.

  Qin Ke Xiu's movements were swift, living up to his reputation as a top student. His math skills were indeed first-rate, and he was much faster at organizing the data than Cheng Zi Han, who had only recently started learning. In just a short while, he had sorted out the data with crystal clarity.

  Cheng Zihan took a glance and saw that the number of each type of tree sapling and flower seedling, how many were added every day, how many were removed, and how many were left over, was all clearly accounted for.

  She couldn't help but give Qin Ke Xiu a thumbs up, "Qin Ke Xiu, you're really something, I'll leave this matter to you from now on."

  "What if I'm gone?" Qin Kexiu asked coldly, staring at Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan was taken aback and turned around to look at Qin Kexiu, not quite understanding what he meant by that sentence.

  What if he's gone? Why would he be gone? Cheng Zihan had never thought about this question before.

  "You, why are you not here?" Cheng Zihan sat back down with his legs crossed again, staring at Qin Kexiu face to face.

  "You know what state I exist in now." Qin Kesu spoke calmly, pausing for a moment before looking up at Cheng Zihan with a puzzled expression. He added: "I'm a ghost, my soul is just an electromagnetic wave. It's only because of Mang Xiang's help that I can cultivate and appear under the sun, appear in front of people. But I don't have a physical body, and if I stay outside for too long, my material form will slowly disintegrate due to natural forces. In the end, I might not even have this last bit of soul left."

  "What? What are you doing out here? Go back quickly!" Cheng Zihan listened to Qin Kexiu's words and became anxious, she didn't want to see Qin Kexiu disappear like this.

  Before she figured out a way to bring Qin Ke Xiu back to life as well, she absolutely wouldn't let him die.

  "Cheng Zihan, even if you hide in the Tree Spirit space, you will still be slowly eroded by the forces of nature." Qin Kexiu shook his head, ruthlessly telling Cheng Zihan this fact.

  Cheng Zihan's face changed again and again.

  She lowered her head, her face hidden in the shadows, only able to see her long and curled eyelashes drooping down, covering her eyes, making it impossible to discern her expression at that moment.

  After a while, she slowly raised her head and looked at Qin Kexiu, "What can I do to help you?"

  "Your existence is the greatest help to me. Do you still remember the Ice Jade? The Ice Jade has a great use for me, but now it absorbs the resentment of vengeful spirits and evil energy is too heavy. If I rely on its power to revive, I may become a demon, and the consequences will be unthinkable. So, you must find a way to purify the Ice Jade, until one day it becomes crystal clear and no longer has a bloody color, that's when I'll come back to life." Seeing Cheng Zihan's dejected appearance, Qin Kexiu felt somewhat comforted, no matter what, Cheng Zihan still cared about him.

  Cheng Zihan nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I'll definitely purify the Ice Jade Pearl! But, how do we purify it?"

  Cheng Zihan patted Ma Pingchuan's chest to guarantee, and then looked at Qin Kexiu with a confused face, asking foolishly.

  Qin Ke suddenly fell down with a thud.

  Cheng Zihan couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle at the sight.

  At noon, when eating, Cheng Zihan formally introduced Qin Kexiu to the staff of the plantation. "This is our future financial controller, he is in charge of the accounts for all plants entering and leaving the plantation, as well as the records of income and expenses. Your salaries will also be handled by him."

  Everyone's gaze at Qin Kexiu was like a dog seeing a steaming hot rice cake.

  Qin Kexiu's mouth twitched, this Cheng Zihuan, really had thrown all the things to him.

  Looking at Qin Kerui's expression, Cheng Zihan smiled with schadenfreude and then whispered to Qin Kerui: "By the way, I still have one thing that I haven't told them. From now on, except for these matters, all other business will be handed over to you to take charge of. When you cultivate good salespeople for me, I'll let you rest."

  Qin Kexiu's mouth twitched even more, and he finally understood what Cheng Zihan meant by "pressing" him. This was indeed the greatest extent of pressing out his remaining value.

  Cheng Zihan was still covering her mouth and giggling, looking at Qin Kexiu's appearance, she laughed even harder.

  After dinner, Cheng Zihan still went into the greenhouse to plant flowers. Qin Kexiu led a large group of people to conduct a comprehensive inventory in the planting garden, where every type of plant had to be counted accurately, and even a difference of one plant was not allowed.

  After recording the quantity of all plants, Qin Kesu took people to Lao Ya Mountain. Now there are also many plants planted on the mountain, which can be sold later, so it is considered as a reserve tree seedling, and a registration was made.

  After finishing registration, it was already more than 6 o'clock in the evening.

  Qin Kexiu lives in Cheng Zihan's home and is responsible for driving him back every day.

  Qin Kexiu brought everyone back from Lao Ya Mountain, and Cheng Zihan happened to have someone move all the flower seedlings in the greenhouse to the outside.

  Although everyone finds it strange why the flower seedlings in the greenhouse have such a high yield, no one asks for the reason.

  The plantation business is doing well and the income is good. For them, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, because Cheng Zihang will give them bonuses according to a certain proportion. Just in May, when their wages were just released, the bonus alone exceeded over 1,000 yuan. This is already an astronomical figure for them, as they used to earn around 200 yuan per month. Now, with the addition of basic salary, it can be said that their income has increased tenfold!

  With good pay and a kind boss, what more could they be dissatisfied with?

  Cheng Zihan originally allowed them to work in the plantation because he valued this point, and Cheng Zihan had already added something to their food that could control them and prevent them from leaking everything inside the plantation.

  Although it's a bit despicable, the plantation has too many secrets. Once they're exposed, not only she herself but also her family and anyone working here will be doomed.

  Cheng Zihan just came out of the greenhouse, the sun had already set, leaving only a blood-red sunset on the horizon, so beautiful that it broke one's heart.

  Seeing Qin Kexiu and other staff members in the plantation return with joy, Cheng Zihuan also showed a smile.

  "Back?" Seeing Qin Kexiu's spirited appearance, Cheng Zihan covered her mouth and smiled.

  Qin Kexiu saw Cheng Zihan laughing so brightly and his eyebrows twitched, feeling somewhat uneasy.

  Everyone got out of the car and went to eat, while others went back to rest. Qin Kexiu drove to take Cheng Zihan home.

  Cheng Hai and his family have been coming back home at around 7 or 8 o'clock every day recently. When they get home, only Cheng Zixi is sitting at the door doing her homework. When she sees Cheng Zihan come back, the little girl excitedly jumps over to hug her, then looks at Qin Kexiu behind her with a pair of beautiful big eyes, sizing him up.

  "Sister, this big brother is also very handsome, although not as good-looking as Han Yeo-brother." Cheng Zi Xi whispered to Cheng Zi Han's ear.

  Cheng Zihan covered her mouth and smiled, introducing Qin Kexiu to Cheng Zixi, "His name is Qin Kexiu, don't call him brother, just call him uncle."

  After finishing speaking, she directly pulled Cheng Zixi into the house and went in.

  Qin Kes mouth twitched slightly as he followed the two into the house.

  "Will he be living with us from now on?" Cheng Zixi couldn't help but ask as she saw Qin Kexiu following him in.

  Cheng Zihan nodded, "Yes."

  Cheng Zixi just hummed and didn't continue speaking.

  In the evening when Cheng Hai and Li Lan returned, Cheng Zihan introduced Qin Kexiu to them again.

  Several people soon became familiar with each other and chatted very happily.

  Cheng Zihan felt a bit neglected.

  After a rest, on the second day early in the morning, Cheng Hai and his team continued to work. The project on that side is now half completed, and it's estimated that it can be finished within a month.

  Cheng Zihan and Qin Kexiu didn't leave until 7 o'clock. They also took Cheng Zixi to kindergarten on the way.

  Arriving at the plantation, Cheng Zihan immediately felt something was off.

  From a distance, she smelled a strange smell, and before entering the plantation, Cheng Zihan asked Qin Kexiu to stop the car.

  After getting off the bus, she first went to take a look at the drainage ditch. The water in the ditch had already turned black and smelly overnight. What exactly happened?

  Cheng Zihan had a hunch that something was off and hastily headed towards the woods.

  The trees in the forest have all withered leaves at this time, and it seems that they have been poisoned.

  Cheng Zihan hurriedly used her hands to pry open the roots of the tree, and upon inspection, the roots were indeed rotten. This situation was basically impossible! Unless someone had intentionally sabotaged it, there was no way the roots of the tree could have rotted to this extent without any reason.

  Cheng Zihan looked at several saplings in a row, and they were all the same.

  She felt a sudden tightness in her heart and hastily went to check on the five yellow flower pear trees. Fortunately, the yellow flower pear trees were fine, but tens of thousands of saplings around them showed varying degrees of withering.

  Cheng Zihan walked a few more steps forward and arrived at the place where flower seedlings were planted. The seedlings here had all died, and at a glance, the green seedlings from yesterday had all turned black and yellow.

  Cheng Zihan's heart skipped a beat, as there were hundreds of millions of seedlings here, all dead, which would be a loss of tens of millions! And that's not even counting the rest!

  She took a deep breath of cool air, and then hastily went to the staff dormitory. Everyone was still fast asleep, but Cheng Zihan clearly felt that something was off.

  She took a look at everyone and found that they were all poisoned, fortunately it was not a lethal poison, presumably the other party did not intend to hurt anyone, just wanted to destroy the plants in the plantation.

  Who is so venomous?

  Cheng Zihan called everyone up, and they all looked at Cheng Zihan in confusion, with some incomprehension in their eyes.

  "What's going on, Zihan?" Liang Han rubbed his temples, which were throbbing with pain, and asked, looking at Cheng Zihan in confusion.

  "You've all been poisoned, everyone has fainted. Now the seedlings and flowers in the garden have all been severely damaged. Hundreds of millions of flower seedlings are dead, and most of the roots of the tree seedlings have rotted. I'm afraid they won't last much longer." Cheng Zihan hastily reported the current situation, then quickly asked: "What happened last night? Why did everyone suddenly get poisoned?"

  "We also don't know, after dinner last night we came back, took a bath and chatted for a while, probably around 9 o'clock everyone went to bed and fell asleep. One sleep, just slept until now." Liang Han felt that his head was still a bit painful, recalling yesterday's situation, thinking about it, but still didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

  At this time, Qin Kesu walked over from behind, "It's Misty Smoke. It seems that after they fell asleep last night, someone blew it in through the window."

  Cheng Zihan took a glance at the fragrant thing in Qin Kexiu's hand and furrowed her brow, wondering who it was after all.

  After some thought, she hastily led her men to the entrance, where the two guards were also fast asleep.

  Liang Han woke them up, they all looked confused, staring at Cheng Zihang.

  Cheng Zihan knew that asking them would probably not yield any conclusions either, and estimated that they were also confused and bewildered by others.

  Sighed, now still as soon as possible to count the losses and then see which flower seedlings and tree seedlings have been booked in advance, hurry up to solve this problem, can communicate as soon as possible to communicate, can save the seedlings try to save.

  Qin Kexiu and Cheng Zihan each led a group of people to rescue the seedlings.

  The flower seedling is basically beyond salvation, looking at the extent of the damage, it has already rotted away. I don't know what kind of poison was used by the other side, but it's so potent that it caused Cheng Zihuan to lose tens of millions in just one night!

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath, and the depression in her heart was simply indescribable.

  At this time, in the luxurious suite of Wangcheng Hotel, Yan Han smiled complacently, his handsome face twisted.

  "Hmph, this time I'm going to make Cheng Zihan lose everything! Immediately go and notify those businessmen who have cooperated with her that the saplings and seedlings in her nursery are all dead and cannot be delivered on time. Let them all go cause trouble." Yan Han played with the porcelain bottle in his hand, coldly instructing the bodyguards below him.

  "Yes, young master." The bodyguard replied and quickly went down to make arrangements.

  Yan Han curled his lips in a cold smile. If he wasn't afraid of being discovered by Cheng Ziheng, knowing that it was him who was secretly causing trouble, he would have liked to see with his own eyes how unlucky Cheng Ziheng was.

  Cheng Zihan arranged for people to rescue the seedlings, fortunately, there was a large amount of Tree Spirit Liquid, which had an extremely good effect on plant growth and also had the effect of reviving the dead.

  Cheng Zihan diluted the Tree Spirit Liquid a hundred times and poured it all onto the roots of the sapling. Sure enough, those rotten roots slowly regained their vitality.

  Cheng Zihan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  As long as the seedlings are not all dead, the loss is not too great. The flower seedlings can be replanted and will grow quickly, but some of the tree seedlings were sourced from others, so there's no profit to speak of. If they die, it'll be a loss!

  But even so, Cheng Zihan will absolutely not let off that person who is secretly sabotaging her!

  It's not just all the seedlings and flower seedlings that have been destroyed, but also the drainage system has been damaged, as well as the irrigation system. Now, Cheng Zihang doesn't dare to let people use the water in the planting garden until it is sent for testing and inspection to confirm its safety before proceeding with irrigation.

  The water in the drainage ditch is highly toxic, and ordinary people don't dare to get close. Cheng Zihan had professionals come to deal with it, which cost a lot of money, making her feel painful.

  Just finished dealing with things in the plantation, and there was a noisy noise at the door again.

  Cheng Zihan rubbed her temples and exchanged a glance with Qin Kexiu, then reluctantly walked towards the door. A large number of cooperative merchants were making a fuss at the door, all demanding to deliver goods in advance, or else they would have to pay compensation.

  Cheng Zihan's face changed, and he strode over, apparently this matter also had someone secretly manipulating behind the scenes.

  After some thought, I reckon there's probably only one person with this skill and motive - Yan Han!

  It seems that inviting him to eat broad beans last time was really too cheap for him. Next time he should be invited to eat some poisonous medicine!

  Cheng Zihan walked over, her eyes coldly scanning the faces of the people at the door. "What are you all arguing about here?"

  "Miss Cheng, I heard that your nursery has had another accident. All the seedlings and saplings have died. This is already the second time this month that something like this has happened here. Honestly, we're really hesitant to continue cooperating with you." The person standing in front was named Wu Tong, who was also one of the largest clients of the nursery.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him and asked, "Who told you something happened here?"

  Wu Tong's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he smiled coldly, "Isn't there? Let's go in and take a look to be clear."

  Cheng Zihan smiled even colder, "Alright then, come on in and take a look if you want."

  "Mr. Liang, take everyone in and show them our plantation, let them see clearly whether we have a problem or not. I don't know who has been spreading rumors about us, but after this disturbance for the third or fourth time, I'm not someone to be trifled with either. After this cooperation is over, I think we won't need to continue cooperating." Cheng Zihuan loudly called out Liang Han and asked him to take the people in, then turned around and coldly said to those clients.

  Everyone's face was shocked, they were all long-term demanders of seedlings and flower seedlings, while Cheng Zihan could stably provide them with the quantity and variety they needed, and the quality was also the best. If they really offended Cheng Zihan because of these things and couldn't cooperate in the future, it would also have a certain impact on them. Moreover, who doesn't know about the relationship between Cheng Zihan and Han Xuanshao? She can walk sideways in Wang City, and recently, the development on the side of Fang City is underway, requiring a large number of seedlings and flower seedlings. They are all eyeing this opportunity, if they lose Cheng Zihan as a supplier, their supply will also be a problem, and whether the other party is willing to give them orders is also a big question.

  Everyone hesitated, and only a few careless ones walked in.

  "Actually, Miss Cheng, we didn't particularly want to come in and take a look. We just suddenly heard rumors today that there was a problem here and came over out of concern. Now that you've explained it, I think it must be a misunderstanding or rumor. Of course, we believe you, Miss Cheng, and hope to maintain our good cooperative relationship. Let's wait until the delivery date and come back then." One by one, they made a fist and bowed towards Cheng Zihuan before turning around and driving away.

  Cheng Zihan looked at them coldly and smiled, leaving only ten households behind, naturally including Wu Tong, who was the first to speak up and cause trouble earlier.

  Cheng Zihans dead flower seedlings have all been ordered to be dug up and thrown into the drainage ditch, now the flower seedling area is clean and tidy, not a single seedling can be seen.

  "What's going on? Why isn't there a single seedling?" Wu Tong looked at the seedling area where not a single seedling was left and couldn't help but ask.

  Liang Handan glanced at Wu Tong and explained: "The flower seedlings here were just bought by someone yesterday."

  Wu Tong looked at Liang Han with a smile that was not a smile, let out a cold hum, and continued to move forward. After walking around the forest area, he indeed did not see any withered or dead saplings. He also furrowed his brow, could it be that the intelligence had been wrong? The saplings here didn't have any problems after all?

  After some thought, he led the people to the drainage ditch. The drainage ditch had been buried with a large number of flower seedlings before, so Cheng Ziheng asked people to bury them with soil. Now the drainage ditch was clean and tidy, only fresh mud could be seen.

  After looking around, nothing was found out, Wu Tong had no choice but to return by the same route.

  Cheng Zihan stood at the door, coldly looking at Wu Tong, "What? Boss Wu, have you seen what you wanted to see?"

  "I apologize, Miss Cheng. It seems to be a misunderstanding this time." Wu Tong smiled and apologized to Cheng Zihuan, but there was not a hint of sincerity in his eyes.

  Cheng Zihan smiled coldly and snorted, "Is that so? Misunderstanding? Is it really a misunderstanding or is someone intentionally spreading rumors behind their back? I reckon only Old Master Wu himself would know best. Uncle Liang, quickly retrieve the orders of these few bosses, take a look at what tree saplings and flower saplings they've ordered, get everything ready for them to bring back, as for future cooperation, I think it's not needed anymore, I really can't afford to entertain several big bosses."

  Cheng Zihan finished speaking and walked away with a cold face.

  Wu Tong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just looked at Cheng Zihan's back and didn't speak.

  Qin Kesou glanced at Wu Tong faintly and followed behind Cheng Zihan.

  Others regretted it now that they had offended Cheng Zihuan, and their future business would be affected. They cast a resentful glance at Wu Tong.

  Wu Tong glared at them fiercely, but didn't say a word.

  Li Hang arranged for the staff of the plantation to bring out several bosses' orders on site, and then prepare all the tree seedlings and flower seedlings they had ordered one by one, letting them take them away.

  Fortunately, there were enough seedlings in the greenhouse to meet the delivery requirements, as the other party did not enter the greenhouse to cause damage.

  After the goods and payment were settled, Liang Han saw off his guests coldly.

  "Please," said Liang Han, and he too turned around and left.

  Wu Tong gave him a cold look, snorted and turned to leave. The several bosses behind him also followed closely together.

  Cheng Zihan was sitting under a big tree in Linqu at this time, and Qin Kexiu was standing beside her.

  "Qin Kexiu, what do you think about this matter?" Cheng Zihan's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Qin Kexiu and asked.

  Qin Kesou's fingers lightly tapped on the tree trunk a few times, and he lowered his head to glance at Cheng Zihan with a cold smile. "This Wu Tong must be related to the person who poisoned from behind."

  "I know who poisoned it." Cheng Zihan curled up her lips and smiled coldly.

  "Who?" Qin Kesiu frowned.

  "Yan Han." Cheng Zihan smiled slyly. This Yan Han, it seems he's really lived too comfortably and needs some discipline.

  "Is it him?" Qin's eyebrows remained furrowed.

  He certainly knows Yan Han. Among the beasts in the Yan family, Yan Han is the most despicable one. His character has deteriorated to the extreme and can be considered negative.

  "You know him." Cheng Zihan glanced at Qin Kexiu with a hint of indifference and asked casually.

  "En." Qin Kexiu seemed unwilling to say too much about Yan Han's affairs, and only responded with a faint "en", nodding his head slightly.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at Qin Kexiu and knew he didn't want to say anything, nor did she bother asking. Anyway, she had plenty of ways to deal with Yan Han.

  Seeing Cheng Zihan's wretched appearance, Qin Kesu suddenly felt a chill and had an unpleasant feeling.

  "Cheng Zihan, what do you want to do?"

  Cheng Zihan raised her head and glanced at Qin Kexiu with a faint smile still on her face, "What's going on? Yan Han made me lose so much, what do you think I want to do? He even dared to poison me, isn't that asking for death? I'll give him some poison too, let him die happily."

  Qin Kesou felt a chill as he looked at Cheng Zihan's smile, and suddenly his buttocks tightened.

  "Come with me tonight." Cheng Zihan said and stood up, patting the dust off her body.

  Qin Kesou nodded slightly.

  The matter of the plantation was quickly resolved, but Yan Han did not dare to make a move on the water source. However, the land of the plantation had been poisoned, and all the animals living in the soil died, which brought some small troubles to Cheng Zihuan.

  But none of these difficulties could deter her, with Tree Spirit Liquid and Celestial Silkworm Liquid in hand, Cheng Ziheng didn't worry about these issues at all.

  In the afternoon, she also went with Qin Kexiu to check on the progress of the project on Cheng Hai's side. That side has already completed more than half of it, and it is estimated that by mid-next month, everything can be fully completed.

  After finishing, Cheng Zihan followed Qin Kexiu back to the plantation and the two of them went into the greenhouse to work for half a day, filling the greenhouse with seedlings once again.

  In the evening, Cheng Zihan and Qin Kexiu went out together again, heading straight to the Wangcheng Hotel in Wangcheng.

  "Hello, I'm looking for Yan Han." Came to the front desk, Cheng Zihan said crisply to the miss at the front desk.

  "Little sister, may I ask what brings you to see Mr. Yan Han?" The receptionist asked with a sweet smile, looking at Cheng Zihan.

  "You can just tell me which room he's in and I'll go find him myself." Cheng Zihan also smiled at the front desk receptionist.

  "No way, we can't disclose our guests' accommodation information."

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched and her eyes rolled, then she continued, "Then trouble you to make a call to tell him, just say I'm looking for him."

  "Okay, wait a moment." This time, the receptionist did not refuse.

  Cheng Zihan perked up her ears and listened. At this age, making a phone call to the guest room was not as easy as it would be later on. They had to dial the total number first, then report the room number, and finally transfer to the guest room from the total machine.

  When the front desk lady said a word about the room number, Cheng Zihang immediately turned around and ran away.

  Yan Han's room was on the third floor and was one of the most luxurious rooms in the Wangcheng Hotel.

  Cheng Zihan arrived at the door of Yan Han's room, looked around to make sure no one was there, then took out a small bamboo stick and inserted it into the gap under the door, blowing air through it.

  There was no movement inside. Cheng Zihan waited for a while before opening the door and going in. For Cheng Zihan, opening this kind of lock was simply not challenging at all.

  After entering the room, the light inside was dim and yellow, the curtains were all pulled down. Cheng Zihang carefully made his way into the room, and as soon as he entered, he saw Yan Han lying on the ground.

  She smiled slyly and walked over, kicking Yan Han with one foot. Seeing that he didn't react, she flipped him over, "Yan Han, humph! You've caused trouble in my garden three times, I should return the favor three times too! This time, I'll let you have a good time!"

  Cheng Zihan said with a smile, took out an extra-large potted cactus from the storage ring, and smiled wantonly.

  The cactus has three small balls, each about the size of a baby's fist, and the largest one is as big as an adult man's fist.

  This was specially bought by Cheng Zihan from the flower and bird market, but it cost one dollar. Today, it's given away for free.

  She smiled, turned Yan Han over again, perked up her ears, and heard some commotion outside, probably Yan Han's bodyguards were coming back. She didn't hesitate, raised the fairy ball and dropped it down. A blood-curdling scream echoed from inside the Wangcheng Hotel, causing the entire hotel floor to shake violently.

  After doing something bad, Cheng Zihan ran away with a smile on his face, looking back at Yan Han with a sly grin. As he glanced at the potted orchid stuck in someone's butt, Cheng Zihan couldn't help but think to himself: "Ah, this is what true love looks like."
