Chapter 69

After much consideration and discussion, the designer's final design still satisfied Lin Xiao. Unlike his previous strict requirements for the villa, Lin Xiao felt that the farm was good enough.

The designer designed the farm according to his requirements, with rows of trees lining the stone paths, a lawn, and equipment forming a small park. The main part was a multi-functional restaurant where one could not only enjoy delicious food but also cook and provide for oneself.

Several small wooden houses were orderly arranged next to the restaurant, similar to a hotel, with a limited number of rooms and a good environment. Each wooden house could accommodate up to ten people, and there were only five such houses, considering future needs.

Of course, the chicken coops and duck coops were placed by the mountain. Additionally, the area for growing vegetables and fruits was also a feature of the farm, allowing visitors to choose their own ingredients and decide whether to let the farm prepare the food or cook it themselves.

Nodding, Lin Xiao smiled at He Pingji and said, "Brother He's designer is really impressive. Just by mentioning it, they could meet my needs."

"It's just that, Brother, you're flattering me," He Pingji waved his hand and said.

"Don't say anything else. We'll start work tomorrow. The farm will be quick, unlike a villa that requires meticulous work," He Pingji continued.

"That's good. I'll leave first, and I'll wait for your company's construction team tomorrow," Lin Xiao stood up, ready to go back after the matter was settled.

"Alright, it's good to go back early. Drive carefully," He Pingji reminded Lin Xiao.

"I know, Brother He, I'll leave first," Lin Xiao said with a hint of gratitude, seeing He Pingji's concern.

"Alright, I'll see you out," He Pingji got up to see Lin Xiao out of the company.

…………………………

The sound of tires screeching against the ground, Lin Xiao was driving smoothly, already out of the city, on his way home. Suddenly, a person appeared on the road, startling Lin Xiao, who quickly stepped on the brakes.

A black mark from the sudden braking appeared on the road, but Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to it. His expression now showed anger.

I've been targeted by a scammer, is this a matter of life and death? Lin Xiao thought to himself.

Opening the car door, the bold Lin Xiao got out of the car, and Dazhuang, seeing Lin Xiao get out, hurriedly followed.

Lin Xiao frowned, looking ahead. It didn't make sense; scammers wouldn't be in such a remote place. How could someone come here to scam?

Seeing a middle-aged man lying in front of the car, pale-faced and blue-lipped, Lin Xiao walked up and gently kicked the man with his foot, "Hey, are you still conscious?"

Lin Xiao called out several times, but the man showed no reaction. With the mindset that it's better to avoid trouble, Lin Xiao was about to leave, thinking the car hadn't hit him and he might have fainted on his own.

Huang Tao opened his blurry eyes, seeing a figure in front of him. A surge of strength suddenly burst within him, and he opened his cracked lips, weakly saying, "Help me." After that, Huang Tao fainted completely.

Lin Xiao, who was about to leave, suddenly heard a faint cry for help. If he hadn't heard wrong, it was from the middle-aged man.

After some consideration, he decided to save him. Although there are many people who turn a blind eye to such situations in society, it's mainly because they fear getting into trouble. There are many people who would blame them.

The most important point is that they are all ordinary people. If something really happens, it's hard to handle without a powerful background, and they might end up paying the price.

Lin Xiao finally decided to save the man, calling Dazhuang to help carry him and rushing him to the nearest hospital.

At the hospital, after the examination, the doctor said to Lin Xiao, "What is your relationship with this patient?"

"This person fainted on the road, and I brought him to the hospital," Lin Xiao replied.

"Hmm, there are few people like you nowadays. Society lacks trust, sigh," the doctor sighed.

"The patient is fine, just malnourished and hasn't eaten, which led to the fainting. He will regain consciousness within half an hour," the doctor continued.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you, doctor."

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, feeling that his part was done, and was about to leave.

"Was it you who saved me?" A weak voice echoed in the quiet ward.

Lin Xiao turned to look at the bed and saw that the middle-aged man had woken up, asking him. Lin Xiao nodded, indicating that he had saved him.

"My name is Huang Tao, a failed businessman. May I ask your name, sir?" Huang Tao, weakly looking at Lin Xiao, continued.

"My surname is Lin, and my given name is Xiao. You fainted in front of my car, and I thought you were a scammer. But seeing your condition, it didn't seem like it. I heard your cry for help and brought you to the hospital," Lin Xiao said in one breath.

"Thank you again," Huang Tao thanked him once more.

"How did you end up on the road, and it looks like you've walked a long way," Lin Xiao asked curiously.

"Haha, this story is quite melodramatic, like many TV dramas. I started from scratch and eventually became a CEO with assets over 30 million, married a beautiful young wife. But I never expected a young man to fall for my wife, and as a result, my company ended in failure, and I became homeless," Huang Tao said, laughing at himself, but the laughter was bitter, showing his unwillingness.

This seemed unbelievable to Lin Xiao. That woman must have been very charming, even as a mature woman, to make a young man fall for her.

A glint of insight flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. No matter what, Huang Tao, who could start from scratch and build assets worth 30 million, was a talent. And my farm was in need of such a person. I was even thinking of hiring a headhunting company, but now there's a ready-made one here.

After some consideration, Lin Xiao decided to invite him, "Since Mr. Huang is homeless, I have a job here. Would you like to try it?"

"Mr. Lin, don't joke. Are you feeling sorry for me?" Huang Tao was still immersed in his own world, speaking sarcastically.

"No, Mr. Huang, you have built assets worth 30 million from scratch, which makes you a successful person. Although you failed in the end, that experience is invaluable," Lin Xiao said sincerely to Huang Tao.

Huang Tao was startled by Lin Xiao's words, but he still lacked confidence after his recent failure, as years of hard work were ruined by a single sentence.

Shaking his head in despair, "I'm sorry, I might have to let you down, Mr. Lin," Huang Tao said.
