The next day, Lin Xiao took out his phone and called He Pingji to discuss matters related to the farm.

"Beep" "Beep" Why don't rich people set up ringtones nowadays?

"Brother Lin, what can I do for you?" He Pingji had just arrived at his office when Lin Xiao's call came through.

"Brother He, I want to start the second phase of the project earlier. Do I need to make any arrangements?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Oh~ I see. You need to meet with the designer first, plan the blueprints, and then start construction." He Pingji thought Lin Xiao had run into some trouble, but it turned out to be this.

"Alright, I'll head to your company now. I'll also bring someone you know, who might manage the farm in the future." Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said immediately.

"Welcome, I'll be waiting for you, Brother Lin." He Pingji said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll hang up now. See you later." Lin Xiao hung up the phone.

After tidying up his clothes and making sure everything was in order, Lin Xiao instructed Zijin and the raccoon to play and not to run around. Once everything was settled, he opened the door, went to the garage, and got into the Range Rover Evoque, which hadn't been seen in public for a long time, and drove towards Wangjia Village.

"Uncle Wang, where is Brother Dazhuang?" In the car, Lin Xiao saw Wang Guoqiang squatting on a stone at the village entrance through the glass, so he drove over and asked.

Wang Guoqiang didn't notice it was Lin Xiao at first, but after a moment, he replied, "Xiao Lin, Dazhuang is at home. Is there something you need? I'll call him for you."

"I need to go to the city for something. This time, Brother Dazhuang might go with me." Lin Xiao said.

Hearing that Dazhuang was going to the city, Wang Guoqiang quickly agreed, "Alright, I'll call him."

The roads in the village were too narrow, and there was no place to turn around, so Lin Xiao waited outside.

Wang Guoqiang brought Dazhuang over and said, "Xiao Lin, I've brought Dazhuang. Be careful on the way." Wang Guoqiang didn't ask what they were going to do, thinking it was a great fortune for Dazhuang to be able to help Lin Xiao.

Dazhuang didn't say anything, just opened the passenger door and got in. Lin Xiao looked at him and turned to Wang Guoqiang, "Alright, we'll go first. Uncle Wang, we might be back after noon."

"No problem, just go." Wang Guoqiang said indifferently.

Lin Xiao didn't say anything more, reversed the car, and headed towards the city.

"Brother Dazhuang, I called you because I have a piece of land that I plan to turn into a farm. I need to discuss the planning, so I brought you along to give some advice." Lin Xiao broke the silence in the car.

"Don't, Mr. Lin, I can't read or write, how can I do that?" Dazhuang said anxiously when he heard Lin Xiao.

"Just say what you think. If you think something is wrong, the farm will be managed by you in the future, so it's good to get familiar with it early." Lin Xiao smiled and said.

"Th-this-this." Dazhuang was taken aback when he heard that the farm would be managed by him, and he stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Hehe, I believe Brother Dazhuang has the ability." Lin Xiao encouraged Dazhuang.

"Then... then..." Dazhuang's honest face showed hesitation.

"Don't hesitate. When the farm is built, you'll come." Lin Xiao decisively interrupted Dazhuang's thoughts and made the decision.

"Alright." Dazhuang, seeing Lin Xiao's determination, could only agree.

Lin Xiao brought Dazhuang directly to He Pingji's office, knocked on the door, "Knock" "Knock."

"Please come in." He Pingji's voice came from inside.

Lin Xiao pushed the door open and walked in, seeing He Pingji sitting there signing documents. He Pingji looked up and saw Lin Xiao bringing a dark-skinned man in. The man looked familiar; wasn't he the guide from the last hunting trip? He Pingji was a bit puzzled to see Dazhuang following Lin Xiao.

"Brother He." Lin Xiao greeted He Pingji when he saw him looking over.

"Brother, take a seat. The designers will be here soon." He Pingji called his secretary to bring two cups of tea and sat on the sofa to chat with Lin Xiao.

Since entering the office, Dazhuang felt like he was walking on thin ice, sitting stiffly and not moving. He listened to Lin Xiao and He Pingji's conversation in a daze.

Lin Xiao saw Dazhuang's expression, smiled, and continued chatting with He Pingji. Time passed quietly as they chatted, and the design team rushed to He Pingji's office upon receiving the notification.

They were old acquaintances; the same design team had designed the villa last time. Lin Xiao didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I want the farm to have a feeling of being surrounded by greenery. A stone path should connect all areas. There should be chicken coops and duck coops, and a parking lot must be built. The rest is up to you."

Lin Xiao briefly stated his requirements, which were not too difficult, unlike the villa, which required a lot of effort. The design team also breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, they drew a rough sketch according to Lin Xiao's description and placed it in front of him. Lin Xiao looked at it but felt something was off, though he couldn't pinpoint the problem.

Dazhuang also saw the sketch. Although he couldn't understand the professional symbols, he could read the words. After some thought, he saw the problem but didn't know how to say it.

Lin Xiao saw Dazhuang hesitating and said, "Dazhuang, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't hold back."

"Alright, I'll say it. The positions of the chicken coops and duck coops are wrong. They are too close together. The best location is on the mountain, where they can be free-range during the day and brought back at night." Dazhuang scratched his head, his dark face turning red as he spoke for the first time in such a setting.

"Right, that's it. No wonder I felt something was off but couldn't say why." Lin Xiao clapped his hands and said.

The design team continued to work, incorporating Dazhuang's suggestions into the sketch and reasonably allocating the space.

The farm's entrance would face the scenic area, with a mixed-style restaurant not far from the entrance. Behind it would be 3 acres of land for growing vegetables and fruits. The chicken coops and duck coops would be moved to the side of the mountain, with some land reserved for future development.

Of course, the farm should have a farm-like style. Lin Xiao's requirement for the designer was green, a vague term that required the designer to rack his brains to come up with a unique feature.
