Chapter 95

Not only Zhi Xiaomei was conquered by Lin Xiao, but basically, as long as they started eating, they would actively increase the frequency of their chopstick movements. The chopsticks flew around the table, and everyone’s mouths were stuffed with food, their eyes still fixed on the dishes. The chopsticks continued to fly, and their mouths and bowls were filled. If an outsider saw this, their jaw would definitely drop to the ground. When had they ever seen so many executives fighting over a few dishes?

Everyone ate until they were drenched in sweat, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of chewing, with no chatting at all. The dishes were visibly decreasing at a rapid pace.

After the banquet, everyone only focused on eating, and the cigarettes and alcohol on the table remained untouched. After it was over, they all collapsed in their seats, holding their stomachs and groaning.

"Oh, that was so delicious," Zhi Xiaomei said, lying back in her chair without a care for her appearance.

"Yes, whoever marries our little brother Lin will be truly blessed," Lu Zhi added.

"Right, I don’t even want to leave," Tang Fu said.

Everyone expressed similar sentiments, and this dinner had completely won them over.

Looking at the empty plates on the table, Lin Xiao was overjoyed. For a chef, the greatest satisfaction might be seeing all the dishes eaten down to the last bit.

The space water was truly a treasure. Even these executives, who were used to eating the finest delicacies, were fighting over the food. Lin Xiao knew his cooking skills, but it was all thanks to the space water.

"Little brother, I’m leaving," Ye Ding said, seeing that it was about time. The day's gains were significant, and Lin Xiao had directly given him the last Yang-restoring fruit. After some polite refusal, Ye Ding accepted it, feeling a bit closer to Lin Xiao in his heart.

"Alright, take care, Brother Ye," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Little brother Lin, I’m leaving too. Otherwise, your sister will have something to say. It’s getting late," He Pingji also said his goodbyes.

"Brother He, be careful driving at night," Lin Xiao said.

The executives left one by one, and Lin Xiao saw them off. After everyone was gone, he lay down on the sofa, sinking into the softness.

'Today was really tiring. It wasn’t easy to withstand the pressure from so many executives, but today’s auction was still a success. I’ve left a good impression on these executives. There’s a long road ahead, and this can be considered an early investment,' Lin Xiao thought.

This auction had earned Lin Xiao a total of 320 million, consuming about 7.5% of his energy.

Becoming a billionaire in an instant, Lin Xiao felt no joy, only seeing a string of numbers on the check. When you have a lot of money, it’s just numbers.

As someone once said, 50,000 yuan can still be considered money, but over 100,000 is basically just numbers, which you can only see on your card.

Lin Xiao returned to his bedroom and threw the checks into the space, the safest place. He would transfer them to his card the next day to avoid losing the checks.

The next morning, Lin Xiao was woken by a phone call.

"Boss, the farm is almost complete. Do you want to come and take a look?" Huang Tao’s voice came from the phone.

"Sure, give me a moment, I’ll be right over," Lin Xiao said, realizing he couldn’t go back to sleep, so he agreed to Huang Tao’s request.

He got dressed, washed up, and headed out, driving to the farm.

Although it wasn’t far, Lin Xiao was too lazy to walk. In a few minutes, he arrived at the farm’s entrance.

The gate was meticulously designed, made entirely of wood, with a vintage-style wooden door and a sign that read "Xiao Farm."

Lin Xiao smiled. The name had been a point of contention for a while. Huang Tao thought it sounded too rustic, but Lin Xiao had countered, saying that the first character of the sign included his name, and the second character "Xiao" sounded like "small," which made it sound like a small farm, giving it a unique characteristic.

Huang Tao was speechless. Since the farm was Lin Xiao’s, he didn’t object, and the sign was named "Xiao Farm."

Lin Xiao parked his car to the side, opened the door, and walked through the gate. From a distance, he saw Huang Tao, wearing a safety helmet, covered in dust, talking to someone.

Seeing Lin Xiao, Huang Tao immediately put aside his work and went to greet him.

"Boss, you’re here," Huang Tao said as he approached.

"Yep, you woke me up so early. If there’s nothing, I’ll know how to punish you," Lin Xiao joked.

"Of course not, I wouldn’t call you if there wasn’t something," Huang Tao said, realizing Lin Xiao was joking.

"Alright, what’s so important that you had to wake me up so early?" Lin Xiao asked seriously.

"Most of the farm is complete, but the multifunctional restaurant’s interior needs your approval. Also, we need to check if there are any discrepancies with the design before it’s finalized, so we can make any necessary changes," Huang Tao said in one breath.

Lin Xiao nodded after a moment’s thought. "Alright, let’s start with the restaurant’s design. We’ll handle things one by one."

"Chen Gong, over here," Huang Tao called to a man from a distance.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, my name is Chen He. You can call me Chen Gong," Chen Gong said as he approached Lin Xiao.

"Hello, Chen Gong," Lin Xiao extended his hand to shake Chen Gong’s.

"Here are the interior design plans and renderings," Chen Gong said, handing over the prepared plans without any formalities.

The restaurant’s interior was divided into a Chinese-style dining area and a self-service area. The self-service area was unique, offering only the rental of utensils and barbecue items, or you could pick your own food from the farm and have it prepared by the restaurant.

In Lin Xiao’s vision, the farm would integrate entertainment and dining, similar to a countryside retreat. Visitors could pick their own vegetables and fruits and choose to barbecue them themselves or have the restaurant prepare them.

Lin Xiao and Chen Gong discussed the plans in detail. They understood that the current trend was for vintage-style restaurants, so Chen Gong’s design included antique screens, wooden doors, and tables.

Seeing the plans, Lin Xiao was satisfied. "The plans are good, but some minor details need to be adjusted. For example, since it’s a vintage style, there shouldn’t be any modern elements. It would be best to cover them up," Lin Xiao pointed out.

Chen Gong nodded in understanding, jotting down notes and occasionally asking Lin Xiao for clarification.

After finalizing the plans, the construction team began work according to the plan. After handling this, Lin Xiao turned to Huang Tao. "Is there anything else? Let’s resolve everything at once."

"Sure, let me show you around and see if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with," Huang Tao said.

Lin Xiao followed Huang Tao, starting to tour the farm.

"Wait," Lin Xiao suddenly stopped Huang Tao.

"What’s wrong?" Huang Tao asked, puzzled.

"Here, here, and there," Lin Xiao pointed to three spots.

"What’s the issue? Isn’t it the same as the design?" Huang Tao was still confused. The three spots Lin Xiao pointed to were all planted with trees, just as the design specified.

"My idea is, look at this path. It’s narrow and has many turns. We could try to create a small maze. What do you think?" Lin Xiao explained his idea.

"You’re the boss, you decide. It sounds good," Huang Tao said.

"Call some people over," Lin Xiao instructed.

"Right away," Huang Tao said, making a phone call.

In no time, the construction workers and designers rushed over, panting and sweating.

"What’s the problem?" the designer asked, out of breath.

"This is the farm’s owner, Lin Xiao," Huang Tao introduced.

"He has some thoughts on the terrain," Huang Tao continued.

"These are the construction and design team members. You can give them your instructions directly," Huang Tao said, pointing to the panting workers.

"My idea is simple. Can we modify this area? Look at this path. There’s a small hill nearby, and the path is narrow. Can we turn it into a maze? This will be an additional project, and we’ll pay extra for it," Lin Xiao said, pointing to the area.

The designer immediately started drawing on the map. After a moment, he looked up. "No problem, but to create a maze, the first major expense will be the trees. According to your design, this area will need to be planted with trees, leaving no gaps to form the maze."

"That’s fine. Just give me the list, and I’ll sign it. The goal is to turn this area into a maze to add a unique feature to the farm," Lin Xiao nodded.

Huang Tao was impressed. This area was at least a few hundred meters long, with winding paths, and the cost would be substantial, at least a million, especially since large trees were expensive.

Seeing Lin Xiao’s nod, the designer continued to work, lost in his own world, ignoring Lin Xiao.

After this, Lin Xiao toured the duck and chicken coops, which were well-designed and modern, ensuring cleanliness and automation.

After a general tour, Lin Xiao had a good understanding of the farm’s construction. Most of it was complete, with only the final touches left. He also instructed the workers to pay attention to the small details.
