Seeing Han Wen in this state, Lu Yuan was very satisfied. The calm and collected Han Wen from before was back.
The next morning, Lu Yuan arrived at District Nine again.
Liu Ling was already waiting in front of the door. Yesterday's events seemed to be over. Today, she was wearing a new outfit and driving a new car.
"I never imagined that overnight, the entire factory area would be like a small forest! All the water has been completely drained! Thank you so much!"
As Lu Yuan got out of the car, he saw the lush green factory buildings in the distance and felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, often including nostalgia or reflection).
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Chen Ling nodded: "I'm very satisfied! And I even got so much food for free! I really like this water spinach! It reminds me of when I was a kid, I would always go to the fields in the countryside with my friends to dig up this water spinach!"
Lu Yuan chuckled: "That's good! This water spinach will last you a long time! Eat slowly! Oh, by the way... that..."
Chen Ling rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan: "Can you stop being so materialistic? Is it necessary to talk about money like this between friends?"
Lu Yuan shrugged: "I'm a poor man, so of course you wouldn't know what it feels like to be short of money! Besides, I'm planning to open a farm! Right now I'm short of money! Of course I need to get the money as soon as possible!"
"Alright! I didn't expect I really underestimated you! But a lot of factories are going to be looking for you soon! What will you do then?"
"Of course I'll take as many as there are! Who doesn't want to burn money? By the way! Is someone already planning to come looking for me?"
Chen Ling nodded: "I saw quite a few factory owners visiting early this morning! But you still need to be careful! Shen Hu also came by once! He'll probably cause you trouble!"
Lu Yuan, however, didn't care at all: "I'm waiting for him! He actually took the initiative to contact me! Fine! We'll meet sooner or later! What's wrong with meeting him!"
"You need to be careful! But he's already noticed you! He hasn't contacted you yet, which means he doesn't know your situation. Do you need my help?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "No need. He'll definitely find a way to get to me. Even if you help me hide my identity, I'll still have to open the factory sooner or later. It's best to settle this before opening the factory! So I don't have to worry about it every day later!"
"Sigh! Everyone else treats Shen Hu like a tiger, but you're not afraid at all. I don't know if you're really capable or just naturally stubborn!"
"Heh! He has both! He's stubborn and capable!"
"Alright! I won't say anything more! Shen Hu is extremely hostile towards people from our city! So you'd better be careful! This is the last time I'm reminding you!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then watched as the other person took a card out of their bag.
"This is a special account I've set up for you, which you can use for transactions! From now on, you won't need to repeatedly swipe your ID card to show your spending! That makes it easy for people to find out your information!"
After saying that, Chen Ling handed Lu Yuan a black card.
Upon receiving the card, Lu Yuan was overjoyed. He had long wanted to obtain such a card. He had originally thought that he could only secretly conceal his identity by obtaining a vending machine and a sales permit. He hadn't expected that the other party had already thought of everything for him.
"You're a businessman after all; you've thought of everything!"
"Heh! What's so thoughtful of you! I just didn't want too much trouble! There's 25 million here! You can put your plan into action now! I wish you success in advance!"
Lu Yuan stuffed the card into his pocket and nodded: "Thank you for your blessing! I will definitely succeed! I hope you can come to the opening ceremony! Maybe I'll even need to borrow a few cars for you!"
"No problem! Just tell me what you need! Oh, right! I need to take some people to deal with these water spinach plants in the factory area! Otherwise, when they get old, the water will start flowing back into the factory!"
Seeing that the other person was about to leave, Lu Yuan quickly said, "Oh, right! I actually have something to discuss with you! Let's go to your office and talk!"
The other person was stunned for a moment, but then saw that Lu Yuan was already walking straight towards his office building.
Chen Ling couldn't help but think back to what happened yesterday, and her face flushed red, but she quickly regained her composure.
Upon arriving at the other party's office, Lu Yuan sat directly in their seat and began fiddling with the photo album.
"Could you please add one more spot for the urban area? I need it urgently!"
"Huh? Add one more? Are you going to give it to your girlfriend? Can I refuse?" Chen Ling asked with a wicked sense of humor.
"Don't worry! I can't bear to leave you behind! This spot was originally intended for a friend of mine! But it's a bit too dangerous for her to go to the city center alone! So, I'm planning to have her bring someone else with her! But I don't have any spots available! That's why I'm here with you this time."
Chen Ling stroked her chin and thought for a while: "This matter is actually quite troublesome! Originally, I only applied for an assistant position. I thought it was so you could keep me by your side if you needed it, but I didn't expect you wouldn't be using it yourself! Then I'll have to ask you about it properly!"
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Damn it! You're just after my body? You want to keep me by your side! You really are the type to take advantage of anyone!"
"Screw you! I was just drunk! Okay! I'll go apply for it! They should give me a reply tonight!"
