The land was purchased in Xiang Nanzhi's name and used for charity in her name.
By planting trees as a public service, the underground mines were preserved and not mined, thus preserving as much as possible the results of Sun Xing's ten years of tree planting in that area.
Sun Xing was very nervous when he learned that Master Zhou had sold the land to the Xiang family.
Everyone in the ancient city knows what the Xiang family does. There are mines underground in this area, so how could the Xiang family, who specialize in mining, not dig them up?
Sun Xing went directly to the antique market.
The entrepreneur who once poured his entire fortune into planting trees in the desert is now as dark as charcoal from the wind and rain, and dressed in extremely ordinary clothes...
When Xiang Nan came looking for him, he almost mistook him for a beggar on the street.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be there to buy jewelry, Zhou Zilu and Zhang Man asked him, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Miss Xiang. I need to speak with her about something."
Sun Xing was genuinely afraid that the Xiang family would come to mine and drain his groundwater, leaving his trees with no way to survive. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
I drove all the way from the desert, and I didn't even have time to change my clothes.
"Who are you, you..."
Upon closer inspection, Xiang Nanzhi realized the man looked familiar. "You are...you are Sun Xing..."
Sun Xing nodded. "Miss Xiang, may I have a talk with you?"
In the studio, Xiang Nanzhi asked Zhou Zilu to pour Sun Xing a cup of coffee. Sun Xing didn't drink it, his eyes filled with panic. "Just tell me what you're going to do with that land."
Sun Xing had been worried about the day that the land fell into the hands of Zhou Erye.
"Uncle Sun, don't worry, we don't mine coal."
"Then you..."
“There was a company that wanted to buy land from Uncle Zhou to mine coal, but my dad thought... mining coal would damage your forest. You are doing pure charity, giving all your family fortune to do good deeds, so how could we possibly damage your forest?”
Xiang Nanzhi took a sip of water. "My father bought that land to prevent others from taking over the coal mine. He also wanted to do something good, like you, by planting trees to prevent wind erosion and stabilize the sand."
Sun Xing breathed a sigh of relief. "I see."
"Yes, Uncle Sun, actually I would have come to see you even if you hadn't come today. My dad bought such a big piece of land in my name, but I really don't have any experience in farming."
Xiang Nanzhi said, "If you're willing, could you offer me some help?"
"certainly!"
Sun Xingzhong said confidently, "As long as you want to do it, of course I'm willing."
Xiang Nanzhi smiled and shook hands with Sun Xing, "You are just as I imagined. You are a great person."
"Thank you, please give my regards to Mr. Xiang."
Goodbye, Uncle Sun.
"goodbye."

Ma Xiaorong also did some odd jobs at the antique market with Xiang Nanzhi. Having been by Xiang Nanzhi's side for a long time, although she couldn't do design, she knew some basics of polishing jade, but her technique wasn't quite right.
Zhang Man and Zhou Zilu were also kind-hearted and would occasionally help Ma Xiaorong by giving her some pointers and letting her practice with some jade stones of less-than-ideal quality. Ma Xiaorong did it very seriously, sometimes for a whole day at a time.
She didn't want to work hard, but she discovered that working with jade was a delicate job that didn't require much physical strength.
The antique market has no shortage of stones, which Ma Xiaorong can use for her leisure time.
Zhang Man and Zhou Zilu both have tasks under their supervision, responsible for liaising with clients on designs, and sometimes needing to make modifications based on the clients' preferences.
Xiang Nanzhi's studio may look unremarkable, but it is the best-performing jewelry design company in the antique market, and the only one of its kind.
The designers are all top students and beautiful. Men and women with needs will go to her shop first. The unique location of the shop has also laid a good foundation for her.
"Sister Qiu, come out and rest for a bit."
"No need, you guys rest."
Would you like some milk tea?
"I won't drink it anymore. It's late in my pregnancy, and it can easily lead to gestational diabetes."
Xiang Nanzhi didn't pay attention before, but now she can't ignore it anymore. Her sleep is getting worse and worse, and she has all sorts of problems, big and small. If she doesn't take care of them, she'll really suffer.
She also signed up for prenatal yoga, prenatal fitness, prenatal infant psychology education, and music talent development...
But she only went sporadically, and stopped going after a few visits.
"Xiaorong, let's have a cup of milk tea together, don't be busy for now."
"good."
Ma Xiaorong agreed verbally, but her hands didn't stop.
Zhou Zilu and Zhang Man sat by the entrance, each with a cup of milk tea, watching the flow of people coming and going in the antique market.
The market is busiest in the morning and evening, with all sorts of people coming here, but since the antique market is protected by Master Zhou, no one dares to cause trouble.
In this ancient city, even the most powerful figures wouldn't dare openly offend Master Zhou. The recent bankruptcy of a real estate company due to its debts is a prime example.
"I'm so sleepy. My head has been buzzing at work these past few days."
Zhou Zilu yawned.
Zhang Man laughed and said, "Your head is buzzing. You went to bed too late. What are you thinking about? Thinking about men?"
Zhou Zilu rolled her eyes at her, "It's been so long since I've tasted what a man is like..."
Zhang Man laughed out loud, "Don't be so lewd, you really are lewd."
"Honestly, it's been so long since I've met a man who can make my heart flutter. Am I getting old?"
Zhang Man couldn't stop smiling, and Zhou Zilu smiled too. Looking outside, they saw a man walking towards them.
Wearing a light gray suit, bathed in the afternoon sun, he exuded an alluring charm. Zhou Zilu suddenly grabbed Zhang Man's wrist, "A man..."
"I saw it."
The man glanced at the time and then at the two people at the door, his eyes cold.
"I like her aloofness."
"Hello, welcome."
Zhou Zilu reacted before Zhang Man and stood at the door to greet them.
Zhang Man was slow to realize what was happening, but she acted quickly, abandoning her sisterhood for a man.
After Xiang Nanzhi finished her work and came out of the house, Li Luchuan walked directly towards her.
"gentlemen……"
What are you doing here?
Zhang Man and Zhou Zilu exchanged a glance and shrugged. "Alright, it's Qiu-jie's again."
Rich, handsome men are looking for beautiful, rich, and successful women; these women have no chance.
Do you want me to explain?
"I don't want to hear it."
"After so many years of friendship, it's heartless of you not to listen to my explanation."
With so many people watching, and someone coming in at any moment, Ma Xiaorong subconsciously looked up at that spot, so Xiang Nanzhi had no choice but to open the door and let him in.
The studio was unusually quiet; Xiang Nanzhi didn't even pour him any water.
But Li Luchuan was clearly prepared. "Longjing or Pu'er, which one do you want to drink?"
"I'm pregnant and don't drink tea, thank you for your kindness."
"A bustling tea market."
Upon inspection, it was indeed a takeout order from Jiangyao Teahouse.
Xiang Nanzhi took a sip and put it on the table. Li Luchuan sat opposite her and said, "I'm doing this for your own good, and you're still angry with me. All these years of feelings can't compare to Shen Shixun. It really hurts me."
