"Build a factory in our village? Can that even work?" Liu Ergou's brows were furrowed tightly.
Mi Xiaoying couldn't help but chuckle when she saw his expression.
"Hahaha, what's so impossible about it?" Mi Xiaoying said with a laugh. "Didn't I tell you? We'll establish a factory to help your entire village prosper."
"This has always been your dream, hasn't it? Are you thinking of giving up now?"
Liu Ergou shook his head.
"No, I'm not giving up. I'm just a little worried," he said. "Our Fengzhu Village's greatest advantage is its beautiful mountains and clear streams. Behind the village, there are several large mountains full of local produce and wild dicinal herbs. I'm afraid that once the Jade Stone processing factory starts up, it will cause too much pollution. It would ruin Fengzhu Village, and by then, the loss would far outweigh the gain!"
After learning about Liu Ergou's concerns, Mi Xiaoying imdiately replied, "Oh, I was wondering what you were so worried about. Don't worry. If it were marble processing, there might be so pollution, but this is Jade Stone processing. It won't cause much pollution at all. Besides, the factory will have a complete waste recycling system and won't directly discharge things like sewage and garbage. You can put your mind at ease! And more importantly, once the Jade Stone processing factory is established, it will need a lot of workers, and the work isn't tiring."
After saying so much in one breath, Mi Xiaoying felt her throat was dry. She got up, grabbed the bottle of mineral water from beside the bed, and drank half of it in one gulp.
After hearing Mi Xiaoying's explanation, Liu Ergou's worries finally eased.
"If you put it that way, this Jade Stone processing factory is all benefit and no harm!"
Mi Xiaoying nodded.
"Indeed. Although saying it's 'all benefit and no harm' might be an exaggeration. To be honest, once the factory is built, so people might not be happy about it."
Hearing this, two large, invisible question marks seed to appear over Liu Ergou's head.
How could anyone object to sothing this good? This is a chance to escape poverty and get rich! Once the Jade Stone processing factory is built in the village, it'll only take two or three years for Fengzhu Village to be completely transford, with every family living in a nice modern house. Anyone who'd object to that must be out of their minds.
Seeing the puzzled look in Liu Ergou's eyes, Mi Xiaoying explained with a smile, "Er Gou, you can be so dense sotis! Who else would object but the lazy bums who don't want to work? Do you think they'd be happy about suddenly having a job?"
Mi Xiaoying's words left Liu Ergou stunned. It took him nearly a full minute to snap out of his stupor.
The first thing Liu Ergou did when he ca to his senses was pull Mi Xiaoying onto his lap and give her bottom two playful smacks. Though it was a spanking, he didn't use any real force.
After the two light smacks, Mi Xiaoying's face turned a rosy red, and her gaze toward Liu Ergou grew sultry.
As an experienced man, how could Liu Ergou not understand what she was implying?
Without delay, he rolled on top of her.
In the blink of an eye, sounds similar to those from the afternoon once again filled the office. Only this ti, they weren't brief; they went on for a very, very long ti, not stopping until the early hours of the morning.
「Early the next morning.」
Liu Ergou got up as usual to practice the Body Cultivation Technique. He had been sowhat lax lately, not practicing daily as he had before. The reason for this was quite simple: he was stuck at the peak of the fourth level of the Body Cultivation Technique and couldn't make any progress. It was incredibly vexing.
However, after a few days, Liu Ergou had cald down and was no longer so impatient. He had now resud his practice of the Body Cultivation Technique with more seriousness and dedication than ever.
To be perfectly honest, the real reason Liu Ergou was practicing so much more diligently was that his stamina was running a little low… However, that was sothing he would never admit, even if his life depended on it.
Soon, Liu Ergou finished his cultivation. He went downstairs, bought two breakfast sets, ate one himself, and brought the other back for Mi Xiaoying.
After eating breakfast with Mi Xiaoying, Liu Ergou went downstairs, got into his car, and drove back to the village.
The first thing Liu Ergou wanted to do upon reaching the village was go ho, but he ran into Hu Jing on the road before he could even get there.
Upon seeing him, Hu Jing imdiately stopped his car and began to report on the construction of the prefabricated building at the plantation. In the ti since Liu Ergou had left, the building had been completely finished, and everything inside had been installed. It had not only a dedicated lounge but also a separate office. The facility was fully equipped with a refrigerator, air conditioning, and even a small kitchen.
When Liu Ergou heard Hu Jing's report, his jaw dropped in surprise. He hadn't expected the prefabricated building to be constructed so quickly. It far exceeded his expectations.
Seeing his astonished expression, Hu Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Er Gou, you're supposedly a man of the world. How could you not know this? Building a prefabricated structure is very simple and fast."
Hearing Hu Jing's teasing, Liu Ergou felt a bit embarrassed.
"Ahem, as if I needed you to tell ! I obviously knew that!" he said stubbornly. "I was just thinking about sothing else. Co on, get in the car. There's sothing I need you for."
Hu Jing decisively refused.
"I can't! The corn is waiting for at the plantation, and we just planted a batch of your dicinal herbs. There's a lot for to do. If I go with you..."
Liu Ergou cut her off mid-sentence.
"Hu Jing, believe when I say this: if you don't get in this car with right now, I will get out, pull down your pants, and spank you. Don't doubt . I an what I say!"
At his words, Hu Jing bristled.
"You beast!" she shrieked, instinctively covering her behind with her hands. "Pull my pants down and spank right here? Are you insane?"
Seeing her terrified reaction, Liu Ergou roared with laughter.
"Hahaha, scared now? Then hurry up and get in! If you keep dawdling, I'm really going to do it!"
Hearing that, Hu Jing didn't dare utter another word. She obediently opened the passenger door and slid into the seat.
Liu Ergou started the car and drove her straight to Liu Jingming's house.
