Ling Zhenfei was quite satisfied with the result: "The company is now in full development mode. We must ensure the speed and quality of construction. This is crucial for us."

"Don't worry, we will definitely complete the task."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei finally felt much more cheerful, because he didn't know what his manor would become in the future.

As a rural kid who had suffered since childhood, he had always been muddling along. Now, he finally saw the light, which inevitably made him feel somewhat lost.

After arranging everything, Ling Zhenfei decided to leave Binyang for Provincial City tomorrow, where He Lingxiu had probably almost healed that patient by now.

He delegated the restaurant's matters to Yang Zixuan and Zhou Jian, and the manor's affairs to Zhou Yun, especially informing her that there would be interviews at the restaurant in the upcoming days.

The interview was for the Planting Department, as the construction of Xishan Manor's greenhouses was progressing quickly. Ling Zhenfei's evaluation criterion was to give each interviewee a new greenhouse to plant crops.

This way, he could assess their abilities to see if they truly knew how to grow vegetables and whether they combined theory and practice.

After arranging all this, Ling Zhenfei had a feeling that Xishan Manor was starting to grow up.

The former Xishan Manor was like a little child, needing someone to lead it no matter what it did. But now, Xishan Manor was like a school-aged child, slowly growing up.

Now, Xishan Manor had become quite substantial, with production scale expanding further. The daily cash flow was so immense that even Ling Zhenfei felt a bit scared when he saw it.

Therefore, Ling Zhenfei thought he should go out and see the world. Both Xishan Manor and Xi Shan Restaurant were developing in Binyang, which, in the grand scheme, was still a small place. Even if he dominated here, it wouldn't mean much nationwide.

But it wasn't easy to develop beyond this. In places like Modu and Capital City, every area gathered experts and elites. Breaking new ground there was immensely challenging.

That night, Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Hui returned to the rental house of He Lingxiu. He Lingxiu hadn't stayed there for long.

The place was filled with numerous bottles and jars from last time, still occupying the limited space.

As soon as they returned, Jiang Hui began cleaning up, but the place was so messy that it couldn't be tidied up quickly.

Watching Jiang Hui's busy figure, Ling Zhenfei felt a sense of warmth fill his heart.

Jiang Hui was a good girl, beautiful and filial, but just unlucky.

"Jiang Hui, have you thought about the future?"

Jiang Hui paused while tidying up: "The future? What do you mean by the future?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "I mean, do you have any plans for the future?"

Jiang Hui paused again: "I don't have any plans for the future."

"So you just want to stay with me forever?"

Jiang Hui paused once more, looking at Ling Zhenfei and asking: "Are you trying to send me away?"

Realizing the misunderstanding, Ling Zhenfei shook his head urgently: "Of course not. I just wanted to ask about your plans."

Jiang Hui thought for a moment and said: "Do you think I stay by your side just because I'm grateful? That's only part of it; it's because I like you."

Ling Zhenfei quickly said: "We've only known each other for a short time, just those few days. Are you regretting it now?"

Jiang Hui said: "Why would I regret it? I was initially grateful, but now I admire you more. I feel honored to be by your side."

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "What's there to be honored about? I'm just an ordinary person, and you're overqualified to be by my side."

Jiang Hui sat down next to him, holding his hand: "I'm the chairman's secretary. How am I overqualified?"

Her hand was soft and comfortable to hold. Ling Zhenfei said: "I'm about to leave Binyang to explore during this winter. Do you want to come with me or stay in Binyang?"

Jiang Hui said: "Of course, I'll go with you. I'm used to being with you."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I think you should stay in Binyang. I have other tasks for you."

Jiang Hui's expression turned unhappy, and she pleaded: "Please let me go with you. I don't want to leave you."

Ling Zhenfei said: "When I need you, I'll call you. I have things for you to do in Binyang."

"What else is there?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "I told you last time to buy a house in Binyang City Center. I already gave you the money. I'll need a home in Binyang.

Moreover, the medicinal herbs we bought last time are almost used up. You need to purchase them again. Selling elixirs is highly profitable; we can't neglect it. Also, take some time to visit your family."

Jiang Hui nodded repeatedly. After Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, she asked: "Are you deliberately trying to leave me behind?"

"Why would I leave you behind?"

Jiang Hui said: "You got mad when I asked about you and Ji Mei last time. I won't interfere anymore, okay?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "You're overthinking."

Jiang Hui hugged his arm: "I know there will always be other girls around you. Like me, every girl wants to have your heart.

Seeing other girls around you will make them jealous. I won't get jealous anymore, okay? Let me stay by your side and take good care of you."

"Jiang Hui, you're overthinking. I'm not trying to leave you. You're too important to me. No matter what task I give you, you complete it. So I'm at ease giving them to you."

Jiang Hui sighed: "You just think I'm a nuisance. I promise, I won't get jealous of other girls around you anymore. I'll just silently watch you from afar and appear when you need me. Is that okay?"

"Why would you make such a sacrifice?"

Jiang Hui said: "Because I like you, I like watching you from the shadows and doing everything for you."

"You're a good girl and deserve your own future. I don't want to hold you back."

Jiang Hui became emotional: "See, you do want to leave me. I don't care, I want to stay with you."

"But being with me has no future. Do you plan to stay with me forever?"

Jiang Hui said: "Why can't I stay with you forever?"

"But you'll have to marry someone eventually."

Jiang Hui shook her head: "If I marry, I'll marry you. If I can't marry you, I won't marry at all."

"Why do you have to do this? I can't guarantee that I'll marry you."
