Chapter 30

After returning to City H, Lin Xiao followed Ge Jian back to his company to complete the remaining procedures and sign the necessary documents.

Seeing that everything was almost done, Lin Xiao bid farewell to Ge Jian, who politely escorted him to the company entrance.

In a good mood, Lin Xiao, for the first time, took a taxi and went straight back to the shabby place he was currently renting.

Lying on the bed, he thought about the situation he had seen today. The house definitely needed to be demolished and rebuilt. It hadn't been inhabited for many years, and even if it were clean, it would still be uninhabitable due to the outdated facilities.

Especially in today's world, people feel empty and lonely without computers and TVs, but playing on the computer all the time can also become boring, lacking in love.

Even if Lin Xiao didn't play on the computer, it was still an essential item. Before he obtained the space, Lin Xiao was a bit of a shut-in, spending most of his time playing on the computer after work, mostly games.

For the time being, Lin Xiao couldn't change his habit of surfing the internet to pass the time. Life without a woman was tough.

There was also some land to be tidied up. After being abandoned for so many years, it was impossible to use all 10 acres for building. There would definitely be some extra land, which he could use to create a small vegetable garden, which would be both poetic and picturesque.

As for the mountain, he could only put it on hold for now. He only had about 3.4 million left. If he moved there, he would need a car and other expenses, and he wasn't sure if his money would be enough.

Money is always short when you need it. A few days ago, he thought 10 million was more than enough, but now he was already worrying about running out of money. Sigh, spending money is like water.

Another issue came up: the current trend of cutting corners was disheartening. Sometimes, the better the friend, the more likely they are to take advantage of you. People are hard to understand.

He turned over and decided not to think about it too much. At the last gathering, he heard Wu Zuoli say that her husband ran a design company. For a project of this size, it would be better to have a professional plan, otherwise, using amateur methods could lead to problems.

Action speaks louder than words. Checking the time, it was only 7 PM, not yet time to rest. He decided to get this matter settled first.

He found Wu Zuoli's number on his phone and dialed it.

"Beep" "Beep"

After two beeps, Wu Zuoli's voice came through: "Oh, Lin Xiao, I thought you had forgotten about me. You still remember to call me."

Lin Xiao felt awkward. Was he too opportunistic, only thinking of others when he needed something?

"Um, yes~ I haven't seen you in a long time, I really miss you, sister," Lin Xiao's guilty voice came through the phone.

Wu Zuoli teased Lin Xiao a few more times before getting to the point.

"Alright, stop pretending. You must have something to ask me, otherwise, you wouldn't call me," Wu Zuoli said with a smile.

"Actually, I just bought a piece of land, about 10 acres. I plan to build a farm or something, and it needs to be re-planned and designed. You mentioned that your husband is in this field, so I thought I could ask him for help," Lin Xiao organized his words and said to Wu Zuoli.

"Oh, you're rich now? Ten acres, that's not small. How much did you pay for it?"

"Not much, 10 acres plus a mountain behind it, 5.6 million."

"That's not in the suburbs of City H, right? Otherwise, how could you afford it?"

"Yes, it's near Xitang. I plan to live there in the future."

"Then I'll have to keep a close eye on my husband. Your future home can't be taken lightly."

After a series of conversations, Lin Xiao almost revealed where he got the money from. He answered all of Wu Zuoli's questions.

Imagining Wu Zuoli's concerned expression on the other end of the phone, Lin Xiao felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Alright, I'll call my husband. You can talk to him. His name is He Pingji, just call him Brother He. Don't hang up yet," Wu Zuoli said and ran to the study to find He Pingji.

He Pingji was about the same age as Wu Zuoli, around 35. The years had washed away his youthful naivety, and he now exuded a mature man's charm, which could make young girls swoon. As the CEO of a listed company, he had a certain air of authority.

"Honey, a younger brother of mine bought 10 acres of land and wants a design company to plan it. Can you take it on?" Wu Zuoli whispered into his ear, leaning into his embrace.

He Pingji had no resistance to Wu Zuoli. Whenever she acted like this, he would surrender immediately. Even after being married for over a decade, they were still as loving as ever, which was truly enviable.

"Sure, if you ask, I can't say no. But when did you get a younger brother? I didn't know about it," He Pingji said, slightly jealous.

"Well, I met him recently. He's an orphan, but we get along well. He's only 25. What are you thinking?" Wu Zuoli gave He Pingji a light scolding.

"Ouch~ I'm sorry, honey. I'll do my best to help him. Since he's your brother, he's my brother too. It's no big deal to just do some design work," He Pingji said apologetically.

"Alright, he's still on the phone. His name is Lin Xiao. You can talk to him now," Wu Zuoli said, satisfied with He Pingji's response.

"Hello, I'm He Pingji," He Pingji said, taking the phone.

"Hello, Brother He. I'm Lin Xiao. I'm sorry to bother you and Sister Wu so late," Lin Xiao replied.

"I've heard about it from Sister Wu, but I don't know the details yet. I only know that you have 10 acres of land to plan," He Pingji continued.

"Yes, I bought 10 acres of land and want to build a farm. There's also a mountain behind it. I want to find a company to plan it. I suddenly remembered that Sister Wu mentioned you work in this field, so I called to ask," Lin Xiao continued.

"Alright, let's meet tomorrow. I'll bring my team. You can tell our designers your requirements then," He Pingji said after some thought.

"Okay, how do we contact each other tomorrow?" Lin Xiao asked a crucial question.

"Oh, how forgetful of me. Write down my phone number: 137XXXXXXXXX. Call me when you're free tomorrow, and we'll meet at a location to discuss further," He Pingji said, patting his head.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Brother He," Lin Xiao said and hung up.
