Chapter 423 Interception
Cheng Feng couldn't explain what she felt. Did she turn over a new leaf?
She looked at Yuan Lu's back through the car window and said to the driver, "Follow her."
She wanted to see where Yuan Lu lived.
Yuan Lu naturally didn't ignore such a big car following behind her.
But she pretended not to see it, quickened her pace, and walked into the family yard.
Cheng Feng muttered, "Why is it here?"
Cao Tiansheng had been sending people to keep an eye on Yuan Xiao. Yuan Xiao lived here when he first came to Pengcheng, and she knew it.
But why did Yuan Lu live here?
She didn't even believe it was a coincidence.
So the question was, could Yuan Xiao help Yuan Lu arrange a place to live?
"Let's go!"
The car drove away slowly.
Yuan Lu returned home and didn't hide her encounter with Cheng Feng from Yuan Xiao.
"She also wanted me to work for her, but I refused."
Yuan Xiao didn't care too much. Sometimes you don't do anything, but flies will still come to you automatically.
"It's okay, just ignore her. She doesn't have many ideas, but she is stupid and bad. You will not get any good results if you are with her."
After all, Yuan Lu and Cheng Feng were actually similar before, and Yuan Xiao was still a little afraid that she would go back to the past.
Yuan Lu heard her description of Cheng Feng and laughed.
"Yuan Xiao, it's not that you will not get any good results if you are with her, but that anyone who goes against you will not get any good results."
She had already seen it clearly. No matter who you are against, you should not go against Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao chuckled, "Okay, you guys take a rest. I'll go back first and come to see you tomorrow."
...
The next day, Yuan Xiao waited for Yuan Lu and Fang Wenting to come downstairs in the family compound.
Gu Lanting was driving today. Yuan Lu was a little scared and didn't even dare to talk to Yuan Xiao.
The four of them arrived at the first location quietly.
This is a village, but at a glance, there are only the elderly, women and children, and very few young people.
The pharmaceutical factory in the capital has just recruited a group of employees, one of whom is from this village. When he heard that she was going to open a branch factory in Pengcheng and choose a place to grow medicinal materials, he volunteered and recommended the land in his village.
After the policy was liberalized, more and more young people went to the city to work, and some even rented houses in the city to take their elderly people there.
As a result, there are fewer and fewer people in the village, and fewer and fewer people are farming.
The terrain here is flat, and mass planting is still relatively easy to operate.
Fang Wenting had someone send a message in advance, so the village captain made preparations early.
"You can see the land in our village at a glance. These are the ones. Added together, there are dozens of acres of land."
Fang Wenting nodded, scanned the land, and saw that there were crops on the land, so she asked, "Have you communicated with the villagers?"
The captain nodded, "I have said that they are willing to rent it out, but if you need to recruit workers to take care of the medicinal garden, I hope you can consider people from our village first."
Fang Wenting naturally agreed to this.
Yuan Xiao took a general look and looked at Gu Lanting, "What do you think?"
Gu Lanting shook his head, "It looks good, but I can't tell what's wrong."
Yuan Xiao also nodded, "I have a feeling, but I can't tell what's wrong."
Just as Gu Lanting said, it looks good.
Fang Wenting also turned around to ask Yuan Xiao's opinion at this time. She had almost asked all the questions.
If the first place can be decided, there is no need to go through the trouble of running around.
Yuan Xiao nodded, "Sister Wenting, if you think it's okay, then decide it. One mu of land is 45 yuan a year. You can calculate how many mu there are here, register each household, and mark it clearly on the contract. In addition, prepare a consent form, and everyone who has land must sign it to avoid conflicts."
Yuan Xiao said so, so Fang Wenting naturally had no objection.
Mainly because it was the hometown of the pharmaceutical factory employees, she felt relieved.
"Captain, I need a few days to draft the contract, and I will make an appointment with you to come over."
The captain had no objection and took this time to talk to the villagers.
Yuan Xiao always felt uneasy, so he suggested walking around the land and taking a look.
The boss was the one who paid, so the captain had no objection.
Yuan Xiao and Gu Lanting walked side by side, and as they walked, Gu Lanting disappeared from Yuan Xiao's side.
She looked back and found that he was squatting and observing something.
Yuan Xiao walked over.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Lanting lifted the surface layer of soil with his bare hands, and a dark hole suddenly appeared. Yuan
Xiao was shocked, "Is this not a snake hole?"
Gu Lanting laughed and clapped his hands, "It shouldn't be, let's see if there are any other places."
After talking to Fang Wenting and Yuan Lu, similar holes were indeed found in other places.
Most of the land here is barren, so it is unknown how long this hole has been dug, and no one has discovered it.
Yuan Lu felt a little strange, "Yuan Xiao, what exactly is this?"
Yuan Xiao frowned and shook his head, "I'm not sure either." He
had a vague feeling, but couldn't grasp the thoughts.
Gu Lanting was not sure what it was either, and just said that he would go back to confirm it.
It happened that the contract would take a few days, so it could be put on hold for the time being.
However, after a few days, Gu Lanting decided to check it out again to confirm whether it was what he thought in his heart, but he got a piece of news.
Someone intercepted Yuan Xiao's land.
There is no need to doubt, this person is naturally Cao Tiansheng.
When Yuan Xiao arrived here, Cao Tiansheng's secretary had just signed the contract.
Seeing Yuan Xiao coming, he smiled slightly, "Sorry, Miss Yuan Xiao, our boss wants this land."
Yuan Xiao sneered, "Such a large area, what are you renting for? For viewing?"
If you want to build a house, it is not enough for the villagers to agree.
And even if you want to develop real estate, you can't develop it from here.
"Our boss has also decided to rent it to grow medicinal herbs. Maybe we will be in the same business in the future."
Yuan Xiao laughed, "That's quite unfortunate, I have to be in the same business with you."
She looked at the captain, "I remember I told you before that we will bring the contract in a few days."
The captain looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
This is not a question of first come first served, but mainly because Cao Tiansheng and his team offered a price five yuan higher.
The medicinal herbs grown by Yuan Xiao are better than ordinary ones, and the price is much higher, so 45 yuan per mu is already a high price.
But Cao Tiansheng, in order to make things difficult for her, added five yuan abruptly, and he was willing to do anything.
Fang Wenting also wanted to go up and argue with them, but was stopped by Yuan Xiao, "Forget it, let's look for another place."
But according to Yuan Xiao's previous experience, the first place he sees is often the best, and he probably won't be so satisfied with the places he sees later.
Even if Fang Wenting was angry, she had to swallow it.
Gu Lanting also came back from the investigation, and he winked at Yuan Xiao and got in the car first.
Yuan Xiao pulled Fang Wenting, "Let's get in the car and go take a look at other places."
After getting in the car, Fang Wenting and Yuan Lu were still unhappy. Thinking of the smug look of that man just now, they were so angry.
They also experienced the frustration of Yuan Xiao's store being robbed before.
