Chapter 32

Since he had seen it, there was no reason to let it go. Good things were never too many. Lin Xiao, while thinking about the Broken Star Grass, was also chatting with He Pingji and the others.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao clutched his stomach and said to He Pingji and the others, "Brother He, I suddenly feel unwell. I need to find a place to take care of it. You guys go around and look. I'll be back in a bit."

After considering for a long time, Lin Xiao decided to store the Broken Star Grass in his spatial ring first to ensure its safety, otherwise, if it were damaged, he would be in tears.

Seeing Lin Xiao clutching his stomach and looking pale, He Pingji immediately said, "Alright, we'll wait for you here."

"Alright, I'm really sorry," Lin Xiao said and walked towards where the Broken Star Grass was growing.

It seemed that no matter the situation, the bathroom escape was always the most effective. As for why Lin Xiao acted so convincingly, was there any need to ask? At his current cultivation level, controlling his blood flow to avoid blushing was quite simple.

After leaving He Pingji and the others' line of sight, Lin Xiao rushed to the destination at his fastest speed.

In less than two minutes, Lin Xiao saw the just-matured Broken Star Grass. He took out the shovel he had used to dig up the Blood Jade Orchid and hadn't thrown away yet, and carefully began the excavation work.

Using a brush, he slowly brushed off the soil still clinging to the roots of the Broken Star Grass. After cleaning it thoroughly, he hurriedly returned to his spatial ring, placed the Broken Star Grass in the fertile soil, watered it with spatial water, and watched it regain its vitality, feeling relieved.

He instructed his adorable purple golden mastiff not to eat the Broken Star Grass, then turned and left the spatial ring.

He rushed back to meet up with He Pingji and the others, and they continued to explore the area. By the time they finished, it was almost evening.

"Brother, it's about time. Let's head back. I'll call you when everything is finalized. If you're free tonight, let's have dinner together," He Pingji said to Lin Xiao in the car on the way back.

He Pingji had a good impression of Lin Xiao. Initially, he was his wife's younger brother, but later, he bought such a large piece of land without the help of family or friends, which was worth befriending.

He Pingji believed that if he hadn't relied on his family and relatives in the early days, his company might not have grown so big. If he had started from scratch, it wouldn't have reached its current scale. Therefore, for a 25-year-old like Lin Xiao, the financial capability to buy ten acres of land and a mountain was quite astonishing.

After interacting with Lin Xiao, his attitude changed from initially being lukewarm to now feeling that he was someone worth befriending.

Hearing He Pingji's invitation to dinner, Lin Xiao readily accepted. As a Chinese person, relationships were often built over drinks, and Lin Xiao understood that this was an opportunity to get closer.

The dinner was a success, and the relationship between Lin Xiao and He Pingji grew even closer. During the meal, Wu Zuoli, upon hearing that Lin Xiao was dining with them, also joined. With Wu Zuoli, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively.

Wu Zuoli looked at Lin Xiao, and many memories flashed through her mind. Since childhood, she had always wanted a younger brother like Lin Xiao, someone she could tease and bully. In Wu Zuoli's heart, Lin Xiao was probably the closest young boy to her besides her parents and husband.

In Wu Zuoli's eyes, Lin Xiao was a meticulous person who liked to listen more and talk less. However, when he spoke, he usually hit the key points. Lin Xiao was particularly observant, often reminding people of things they might have forgotten. She didn't know what had happened during his resignation that led to him buying such a large piece of land, but she was genuinely happy for him.

One day passed in the blink of an eye, and several days flew by.

As usual, Lin Xiao's biological clock woke him up on time. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he went out for a run and stopped by a street stall for breakfast on the way back.

Walking slowly back to his rental apartment, he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. It seemed someone was calling. He picked up the phone and saw the caller ID: 'He Pingji.' It looked like the budget, design, and blueprints were ready.

He answered the call, "Brother, the blueprints and everything are basically done. Do you want to come and take a look? If possible, we can sign the contract. You can entrust the entire project to our company, including the construction workers and everything."

Hearing He Pingji's voice, the content was pretty much as he had expected.

"Alright, since it's almost done, I'll come and take a look," Lin Xiao replied.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you at the office," He Pingji said with a chuckle.

"Brother He, don't make fun of me. I'm just a commoner," Lin Xiao laughed and chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up. He called a taxi and headed to He Pingji's company.

A short while later, Lin Xiao arrived and was led to He Pingji's office by the receptionist.

He Pingji, who was still handling documents, stood up to greet Lin Xiao without hesitation when he saw him arrive.

Lin Xiao noticed that He Pingji still had a pile of documents to handle and quickly insisted that He Pingji continue his work, asking him to just call the designer. Seeing Lin Xiao's insistence, He Pingji handed over the design and blueprints and called the designer.

When the design was presented to Lin Xiao, he felt it was excellent. No wonder it was a top designer. The meticulous layout, warm color scheme, and ancient-style design all looked elegant and refined. It not only met Lin Xiao's requirements but also added some details he hadn't noticed.

The main structure was Lin Xiao's residence, designed in the style of a modern quadrangle courtyard, covering one acre. It was divided into a main house and east and west wings. The interior design was done to the level of a luxury villa, with a warm color scheme, and was both exquisite and beautiful.

A small bridge, flowing water, an ancient pavilion, and a path, along with some artificial hills and trees, formed a small park surrounding the house, making it feel like a natural and comfortable forest.

An artificial river, drawing water from the mountain, wound around the ten acres of land, full of poetic charm. The design included everything, from the small bridge and flowing water to the houses, which was truly impressive.

Lin Xiao fell in love with the design at first sight, finding it much better than he had imagined.

How could it not be good? The designer, seeing He Pingji's care for Lin Xiao, felt it was an opportunity to appear more in the boss's presence. He worked tirelessly, spending countless brain cells over several days to create the design. He also consulted with other designers in the company, and in the end, produced this beautiful design.
