Su Tao didn't care whether people outside believed it or not.
There are ready-made design drawings for the primary school area and the comprehensive college area. The old leader had someone prepare them in advance, and he wanted to build and improve them step by step in the next ten years.
Now that he had Tao Yang's help, he was very pleased and asked someone to send a complete set of plans to Su Tao.
After seeing the entire set of designs, Su Tao said to Shi Zijin:
"The old leader has devoted a lot of effort to these children. This blueprint is designed for a university town before the end of the world."
Shi Zijin said, "They are the future backbone of Dongyang and need to be well trained. How much will it cost to build this system? How much investment is required?"
Su Tao was deflated. "It's over 7,000 square meters, with many large, medium and small buildings, and a lot of details. It will take me at least three or four months to build it. As for the investment? At least 7 million. I can't estimate the exact amount, but it won't be less than 7 or 8 million. This project is too big."
Shi Zijin felt it was hard to listen to this, and said that he would take care of the investment matters, and then asked:
"Can you let someone else build this? Or find a few more people to work with you?"
Su Tao immediately shook her head: "Impossible, I can only do it myself."
She is the only one who can see the system, so where can she find help?
By the way, the piece of land that Xu Qi recommended to her has also been acquired, and construction must begin.
From now on, it will be the base of Taoyang’s self-supporting army, providing food, accommodation, training and entertainment.
Once it's built, let Zhuang Wan recruit more people with special abilities for her, and let Taoyang's self-supporting army start training as soon as possible so that they can complete various tasks for her as soon as possible.
In addition, the Taoyang residential area will also be expanded. According to Mr. Mei’s opinion, it will be developed into a garden community.
By then, the community will also have small parks, fitness facilities, shops, supermarkets, stores, etc. to make life as convenient as possible for tenants.
In the following days, Su Tao worked hard to build Dongyang Primary School and Comprehensive College.
Until the day before her departure, she suddenly received a call from Captain Song Yuebin:
"Boss Su, I heard from Manager Ma that you guys are going to Xindu?"
"Yes, Captain Song, have you found any leads on the missing person I asked you to look for? Oh, and there are also the seeds that Manager Qian asked you to find."
Song Yuebin took a big gulp of water and continued:
"I've found the seeds for you all. I've got some clues about the girl's whereabouts. When we passed by a small settlement in the north, we caught two human traffickers. They said they bought a girl from a man two years ago, but the man ran away a few days later and never came back."
"The girl looked very similar to what you described, and the two traffickers said that the man did have a cross tattoo on his hand."
Su Tao shuddered: "Where are the two human traffickers?"
"I've tied him up and stuffed him into my carriage. I'll bring him back to you when the time comes. But we estimate it will take us a week to get back to Panliu Mountain, so we might miss you."
Su Tao took a deep breath and said, "It's okay. I'll have Manager Qian contact you when you get to Panliu Mountain. Please keep an eye on those two human traffickers for me."
"Don't worry, as long as our convoy doesn't encounter any accidents on the way, we will definitely bring the person to you."
After saying this, Song Yuebin said a little embarrassedly:
"Are you going to Xindu to attend the alliance summit?"
Su Tao keenly sensed that he had something to ask for, and took the initiative to speak:
"Yes, Captain Song, do you need my help with anything?"
"Haha, Boss Su is really straightforward. Here's the thing: a wealthy lady wants us to buy a kitten with good appearance and personality. Well, a puppy would be fine too. We've been looking for a kitten for the past few months, but she hasn't found anything she's interested in. So, we thought maybe there might be one at the Alliance Summit fair or auction."
"Our Yueling isn't very well-known, and every year we have a hard time approving registrations. So when the time comes, I'd like to ask Boss Su to help me look for a suitable one and buy it first."
Su Tao thought for a moment and asked, "What's your budget?"
Song Yuebin remembered the wealth of that noble lady and gritted his teeth and said, "6 million federal coins."
Su Tao hissed, "You guys spent a lot of money."
She really couldn't imagine any puppy or kitten being worth that price.
Su Tao never thought about the three in her family. To her, Black Sesame, White Sesame and Snow Knife were all her family members, and their importance could not be measured by money at all.
Song Yuebin treated her as a friend and said frankly without hiding anything:
"We can't help it. That lady's husband controls salt along the coast. Salt is a necessity. Not to mention ordinary people, even those with special abilities will lose their strength if they don't eat it. Boss Su should understand how great the demand is. Our small fleet just wants to get a piece of the pie."
Su Tao lost interest when she heard it.
With a system store, food and seasonings are not a problem.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you then. Or if there's enough time, you can come in with us and sneak in as someone's partner, and then I'll look for them myself."
Participants are allowed to bring their partners to the Alliance Summit.
But they won’t really check whether the two are husband and wife.
So sometimes people who are not qualified to attend the conference will find someone who has a spot, pay some money, give some benefits, and bring them in as a partner.
The organizers also turned a blind eye and said as long as it wasn't excessive, it was fine.
Song Yuebin was overjoyed: "Thank you so much. We will rush to Xindu now, but we have to take the two human traffickers with us."
Su Tao nodded: "Watch them closely, don't let them run away or die, I still want to pry something out of their mouths."
They were the last people to see Jiang Tong, and they must not let this clue be cut off.
Song Yuebin agreed, then stammered, "Then can I follow you in?"
This is asking whose male companion I want to be.
Su Tao laughed: "You probably only know Manager Qian, Manager Ma, and Fang Zhi, right? Why don't you pick one yourself?"
Song Yuebin blushed.
Ma Dapao and Fang Zhi are both men, and he doesn't want to have gossip about his sexual orientation spread just because he attends an alliance summit.
"Then, what about Manager Qian?"
Su Tao said, "Ask her if she minds. If not, just follow me in."
Song Yuebin was rarely shy.
Qian Lin thought this person wanted to borrow money from her!
"No, no, no, I want to go to the meeting with you. Boss Su asked me to ask you if you mind if I pretend to be your male companion and sneak in with you."
When Qian Lin heard that it was not a loan, she said readily:
"That's fine, as long as you don't cause trouble for Boss Su."
