Ling Zhenfei heard Jiu Jiu's words and was instantly taken aback, not knowing how to respond.

In fact, Ling Zhenfei had always found Jiu Jiu to be a very special existence. Among the women he knew, Jiu Jiu's beauty certainly ranked within the top few, but she was too beautiful.

Moreover, she had a rather disgraced past before meeting Ling Zhenfei, and even the chance to get to know Ling Zhenfei had been an extraordinary one.

Since getting to know Ling Zhenfei, Jiu Jiu had indeed turned over a new leaf, but Ling Zhenfei always maintained a certain distance, not wanting to get involved with her. It was best to maintain the kind of state where after a one-night stand, neither wanted to see the other again.

Therefore, since that day, Ling Zhenfei had been reluctant to answer any calls, texts, or WeChat messages from Jiujiu.

But who could have predicted the unpredictability of fate? During an unexpected visit to Han Lian's home, Jiu Jiu caught a glimpse of Ling Zhenfei. From then onwards, the two of them could be considered together.

Jiu Jiu was very special; this was undeniable. Perhaps because of her past experiences, Jiu Jiu had a profound understanding of the affairs between men and women and was very open about them.

"Actually, I'm also unsure about the path ahead. I just want to live happily every day. Why bother thinking so much? Isn't that merely adding to one's worries?"

Listened to Ling Zhenfei's words, Jiu Jiu said with great sadness, "But I'm not young anymore. Time spares no one. It won't be long before I start to age slowly."

"Right now, I'm at the prime age for a woman, youthful and beautiful, but how long can this last? Once I'm past thirty, my looks will gradually fade. I don't dare to imagine what I'll look like when I'm old."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "It doesn't matter. As long as you're with me, I'll always capture your most beautiful moments forever. I will not only make elixirs to preserve your looks but also elixirs to maintain your youth."

"As long as you're with me, I can make sure you never grow old, and even that you'll never die. None of this is impossible."

Jiu Jiu looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "You're teasing me again. How can someone live forever without dying?"

Ling Zhenfei looked at Jiu Jiu and said, "If you trust me, then you should believe whatever I say."

Jiu Jiu looked at Ling Zhenfei and then nodded, "Alright, I will believe you. I want to be with you forever."

The two of them chatted romantically along the way, so they quickly arrived at Qinghe Village. By the time they got to Qinghe Village, it was already the afternoon.

At the entrance of Xishan Manor were already parked many cars, mostly luxury cars, which truly astonished Jiu Jiu.

"It's unbelievable that so many luxury cars are parked outside the gates of a farmhouse in the countryside."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Did you think these cars belong to Xishan Manor? Then you're mistaken. Like you, these cars should have come from Binyang for the same purpose—to sign a contract."

Jiu Jiu was somewhat surprised, "Can't contracts be signed at any time? Why come sign a contract so late today?"

"Signing today is certainly different. I said I'd bring a big present to Xishan Manor."

The two walked into Xishan Manor and indeed saw many people in suits and leather shoes, obviously not from the manor itself.

At the entrance of the new office, several long benches were placed, on which a row of big bosses sat, whispering in private with other acquaintances.

"Do you think this is okay? What would happen if Qin Lan found out?"

"What's wrong with that? The contract clearly states we are not buying vegetables from Xishan Manor, but it doesn't say we can't use Cloud Fly Group's vegetables."

"But the vegetables from Yunfei Group are just from Xi Shan Manor, aren't they? What's the difference between this and changing from export to domestic sales?"

"Of course, it's different. This way, we have successfully avoided the contract signed with Fengming Manor, so it won't cause us any losses, and at the same time, it saves face for Qin Lan."

"All we're doing is burying our heads in the sand. Qin Lan will still get angry if she finds out."

"Let her be angry then. If we stop using Xi Shan Manor's vegetables, I estimate we won't have any of our old customers left."

"Exactly, Green Apple Restaurant was about to close down, but it was because it used vegetables from Xi Shan Manor, and now it's ahead of us."

"That's right. Anyway, I'm done for, I can't keep up anymore. I'm not even talking about reducing prices, as long as there's no price increase, I'll be thanking my lucky stars."

"Yeah, otherwise, why would I come today? It's because I know that if I come to sign the contract today, the vegetable prices won't increase. If I come to sign the contract tomorrow, the prices will go up."

Ling Zhenfei only then realized, to make all these big bosses come to sign the contract, Zhou Yun had actually used such a technique.

She had clearly told these bosses that if they signed the contract today, the vegetable prices would remain the same. But if they didn't come today, they would have to face an increase in vegetable prices. That's why so many big bosses were still willing to come out so late.

"So many people, do we need to queue?" Jiu Jiu asked.

Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "We're not in a hurry. Let me take you for a walk around the manor, to see what it's like now."

"Great, it's been a long time since I've been to a place like this," Jiu Jiu said excitedly.

Ling Zhenfei took Jiu Jiu to the greenhouse first, and unexpectedly, Sun Liqing was just inside with someone else. Seeing Ling Zhenfei, Sun Liqing immediately ran over.

"Boss Ling, what brings you here for a visit?"

Ling Zhenfei was surprised and didn't expect Sun Liqing to be so quick, but seeing that Jiu Jiu didn't show any expression, she probably didn't catch on.

In this society, too many people are called "boss," so much so that even those moving bricks on the construction site are called some kind of "boss," which might be why Jiu Jiu wasn't surprised.

Ling Zhenfei said, "President Sun, you're so busy, of course I have to come and see you. Today we will be placing a lot more orders. May I ask how the production capacity is holding up?"

Sun Liqing replied happily, "Boss Ling, rest assured about the current situation. Our greenhouses are continuously coming into use. Just tell me how many vegetables you need by tomorrow."

Ling Zhenfei had always admired Sun Liqing's skills, but he also felt that Sun was still very tired.

The Agricultural Planting Department was the lifeline of Xi Shan Manor. If this were lost, he really didn't know what to do. The entire manor, with more than a hundred people, depended on the Planting Department for their livelihood, and it was still the case until now.

"President Sun, I know you're tired. The greenhouses will keep increasing, and I hope you truly mentor some young people so they can stand on their own."

Sun Liqing leaned in toward Ling Zhenfei and said quietly, "Boss Ling, do you see that young man over there?"

Ling Zhenfei followed Sun Liqing's gaze toward the distance and saw a young man with glasses, earnestly taking notes on something.

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "I see him, what about him?"

Sun Liqing said, somewhat triumphantly, "That's my son, he has also returned to work at the manor."
