Chapter 253 - Preparation and Situation (1/2)

Recently, Lin Luoran is living comfortably. Yuan Ye has taken over all of the preparations of the pharmaceutical factory. He goes out every day to communicate with the other three families on Lin’s behalf.

Lin Luoran goes to Mount Qingcheng for a trip. She picks a valley next to Qingcheng Taoist Temple as the planting base of the factory.

The soil here is fertile and the basin area is large. Thanks to the soil, there is no need to worry about waterlogging. This is the best place to plant medicines. The only problem is mountain torrents, so Lin Luoran designs a floodway in the first place. Speaking of planting medicines, the cyan little fox is the top in the world of cultivation except for Lin’s s.p.a.ce. The site is picked by the fox personally after walking around the mountain with Lin.

Though they are only going to plant ordinary herbal medicines, the cyan little fox is more enthusiastic than Lin Luoran can ever imagine. The little fox jumps up and down in the forest and sometimes stops in the col filled with weed to smell the soil. It pulls up the weed and checks on the moisture of the soil. The little fox acts like a king who is on an inspection tour of his land. Now, it is thinking seriously. Lin Luoran feels that Zeng Tian has really made a good proposal for opening a pharmaceutical factory.

The cyan little fox is talented for identifying medicines. The backyard of Lin’s house is indeed too small for it. The little fox seems to be genuinely happy when it is out here and busy.

Looking at the mountains, Lin Luoran feels confident. She once heard a saying that people should be good when they are in the decline and they must do good while in power. She is not a corrupt businessman. She will be helping a lot of people with the medicines her factory will make in the future.

Lin Luoran has faith in this.

After picking the site, she goes to talk to the government about the contract. Mount Qingcheng is covered by trees and gra.s.s. The guiding principle of the country is afforestation, so leaders of the local government have concerns. They seldom sign a contract to rent out the mountains in recent years. However, Lin Luoran says that she will use the mountain to plant medicines, which raises doubts about the officials. They believe that n.o.body without a strong background can enter the medicine industry so easily.

The site Lin Luoran picks covers an area of almost 100 acres with several connected cols, which means that mechanization planting is out of option. The construction will create jobs and help the local economy. Villagers around the area may also follow Lin’s step and plant medicines for a living. These will also be considered as the achievements in the officials’’ career!

All of the officials want to get a promotion and they have to prove themselves before being promoted even if they have friends in the higher level of the government. Therefore, officials of the local governments all believe that Lin’s project is practical.

However, these officials have to put on airs. Lin Luoran becomes annoyed after visiting them several times.

After all, Lin is a mature adult who has social experiences. Though she has powerful people to back her up, she would rather not mess with these officials. She doesn’t want to be bothered by them later.

At this crucial moment, Zeng Tian, who is always thoughtful, sends Cao Liyang here to help. Cao acts carefully in front of Lin, trying to change her impression of him. In fact, Lin Luoran has long since forgotten about their old grudges.

Zeng Tian always believes that every person can be useful in certain ways. As expected, after Cao Liyang takes over the negotiation with the government, things finally have a breakthrough.

Within a week, Cao Liyang delivers the signed contract to Lin.

When it comes to socializing, Lin Luoran is not as skillful as Cao is. Cao Liyang treated the officials in luxury hotels and clubs and he promised them some advantages. All of the officials felt that Cao was smart so they signed the contract with him. After all, the project is nothing bad.

Officials all have their habits, and not all of the middle-and-basic level officials are greedy and corrupted.

Huaxia people like to discuss things during dinner. Cao Liyang is aware of the timing to put on airs or to make a toast. He entertains the officials well, which is the reason why the contract is signed so quickly.

Holding the contract in her hand, Lin Luoran says, “Cao, you’re a doer, but your personality can be better.”

Cao Liyang holds back his gladness and nods, “I’ve changed, Master Lin.”

Lin Luoran doesn’t bother to correct Cao Liyang when he called her Master Lin. Therefore, Cao keeps calling Lin this.

Lin Luoran never thinks about the reason why Cao Liyang would like to take all of the troubles to help her. Lin hasn’t gone out recently and she has been focused on cultivation. She seldom thinks about the current situation in the State of Huaxia.
