Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 771: Chapter 772 Who is the Fool

Lin Chen returned to the courtyard, and Jiang Qian happened to be walking out from inside.

Seeing Lin Chen, Jiang Qian’s cheeks instantly flushed red again.

However, Jiang Qian still said somewhat shyly with a flushed face, ”Lin Chen, thank you.”

”No need to thank me, I’ve already received my payment!” Lin Chen said with a light smile.

”You!” Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Jiang Qian’s cheeks turned even redder.

Lin Chen smiled, ”Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first.”

”Wait a minute!” Jiang Qian bit her lip and called out to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and asked with a smile, ”What’s the matter? Do you need something?”

Jiang Qian’s face was flush as she said, ”Lin Chen, tomorrow is our school’s basketball game. Could you pretend to be my boyfriend for the day?”

”Pretend to be a boyfriend?” Lin Chen was taken aback for a moment.

Jiang Qian said somewhat sheepishly, ”I know you and Yu Qing are lovers. I will explain it to her. It’s just for one day.”

Lin Chen smiled, ”Don’t worry, pretending to be someone’s boyfriend is something I’m very good at.”

”By the way, Jiang Qian, does Zhonghai University have any ancient legends?” Lin Chen suddenly asked.

Jiang Qian nodded vigorously, ”Of course there are!”

With that, Jiang Qian began to enthusiastically tell Lin Chen about the school’s legends.

Although Jiang Qian told many stories, they were all about love and had no reference value.

At that moment, Li Yuqing walked out of the house with a smile, ”What are you two talking about?”

Jiang Qian, with a beaming smile, took Li Yuqing’s hand, ”Yuqing, can I ask you for a favor?”

”What is it?” Li Yuqing asked curiously.

”I want, I want to borrow your boyfriend for a bit,” Jiang Qian said with a blush.

”Boyfriend? I don’t have a boyfriend!” Li Yuqing was also puzzled.

”Hmph, still pretending, you and Lin Chen are living together, and you say he’s not your boyfriend?” Jiang Qian pouted.

Living together!

Both Li Yuqing and Lin Chen blushed suddenly.

”Naughty girl, don’t talk nonsense. We sleep in separate rooms. Anyway, you can take him if you want to use him,” Li Yuqing said with a wave of her hand, her face still red.

Lin Chen felt quite frustrated. Listening to their tone, he felt like he was being treated like a product.

”You’re the best, sister.” Jiang Qian excitedly kissed Li Yuqing on the cheek and ran off happily.

Lin Chen was at a loss for words. It seemed it was me who was supposed to help, and if anyone should be kissed, it should’ve been me.

The next day, the two of them arrived at the clinic, and Li Fuyou was in the backyard, lost in thought.

”What’s wrong with Uncle Li?” Lin Chen asked in confusion.

Li Fuyou stared at the ginseng in the yard in disbelief, ”It’s really bizarre, how can this ginseng grow so fast?”

Lin Chen smiled, ”Isn’t it good that it grows fast? It looks like this ginseng can be sold for money now.”

Lin Chen immediately took out his phone and called Mu Feng, ”Mr. Mu, we have another batch of ginseng here, you can send someone to collect it.”

”Okay, I’ll send someone over right away,” Mu Feng said with a smile.

After he hung up the phone, Li Fuyou looked at Lin Chen, astonished, ”Where do you get these seeds from? Can you get some for me, too?”

Lin Chen smiled and said, ”Uncle Li, I want to start a business with you. What do you think?”

”What business?” Li Fuyou asked, puzzled.

”I want to take over all the surrounding land to grow ginseng exclusively. The yield of ginseng is dwindling, especially wild ginseng. I’ll be in charge of planting, and you’ll be responsible for managing. Also, I think it’s time to expand the scale of our clinic. I plan to build a private hospital here. How about you be the director?” Lin Chen asked with a smile.

”A private hospital?” Li Fuyou’s eyes lit up when he heard Lin Chen’s words.

Opening his own private hospital had always been a dream for Li Fuyou, but it seemed too far-fetched for him, almost unreachable.

”But we don’t have that much money!” Li Fuyou sighed.

Lin Chen smiled lightly, ”The money is not an issue, I’ll take care of it.”

”But opening a hospital will cost at least millions, and there are all kinds of approvals needed!” Li Fuyou worried.

Li Yuqing, who was beside him, was somewhat speechless, ”Old Dad underestimates Lin Chen. Millions? This guy wouldn’t even bat an eyelid spending hundreds of millions.”

”Don’t worry about the approvals; I can talk to Mayor Zhou. As for the rest, I’ll handle it. You just get ready to be the director,” Lin Chen said with a smile.

”Dad, once you’re a director, you can’t be as stingy as you are now,” Li Yuqing teased.

Once they had made up their minds, Lin Chen and Li Fuyou headed straight for the village committee.

Since the land belonged to the village, they needed to negotiate with the village committee to rent it.

To avoid any unnecessary trouble, Lin Chen took out his phone and made a call to Zhou Yong first.

”Mr. Lin, you want to contract that land?” Zhou Yong was stunned to hear Lin Chen wanted to buy the land.

”Yes, I want to start a plantation and then build a private hospital on the original site,” Lin Chen said with a smile.

Zhou Yong nodded and said, ”Mr. Lin, we once surveyed that land, and the reason we didn’t develop it is that the soil quality is too poor for planting, and there are rocks underneath which make it impossible to lay foundations for buildings. If you really want to develop it, I can help you look for another piece of land.”

Lin Chen smiled faintly, ”Mayor Zhou, I appreciate your offer, but I find this piece of land suitable. I’ll take care of the rest myself.”

After hearing Lin Chen’s reply, Zhou Yong had no choice but to stop persuading and said, ”Since Mr. Lin is determined to take that piece of land, I will give you a heads-up and make sure you get the lowest price.”

”Thank you, Mayor Zhou,” Lin Chen said with a smile.

Zhou Yong smiled, ”Mr. Lin, you are my lifesaver, and besides, if that land is really developed, it will be beneficial for our city’s development.”

Thanks to the phone call from Mayor Zhou, the staff at the village committee were very enthusiastic, and Lin Chen and Li Fuyou quickly signed the agreement.

As they were leaving, Lin Chen overheard the village chief and the secretary of the village committee muttering quietly behind him, ”Finally, we found a fool to sell this land to.”

A cold smile appeared on Lin Chen’s lips, ”A fool? It’s yet to be determined who the fool is!”

Neither the village chief nor the secretary could imagine that the piece of land Lin Chen bought would one day be more valuable than the most prime locations in the city center.

After the agreement was signed, and it was already afternoon, Lin Chen checked the time and told Li Fuyou, ”Uncle Li, I have something to attend to this afternoon, I need to take a leave.”

Li Fuyou was growing ever fonder of Lin Chen, who was his benefactor, ”Lin Chen, you’re too polite, you’re someone who’s doing important things. Go and take care of your business, what leave do you need to ask for!”

Lin Chen drove his Mercedes straight to Zhonghai University. The university was built against a mountain with abundant water supplies, and from the perspective of Feng Shui, the location’s terrain of Zhonghai University was exceptionally auspicious.
