Farming Space Makes Me Rich

When the news report came out, many people not only found out Taoyuan Village had produced a top-scorer but also Taoyuan Village was suitable for strawberry-growing. In fact, the expensive strawberries that were being sold at many supermarkets were from Taoyuan Village.

At the same time, many people realized how beautiful Taoyuan Village was. It was inconvenient transportation in the past that prevented people from discovering this paradise.

However, with the strawberries and the addition of a new top-scorer, Taoyuan Village instantly became a tourist attraction. Many people drove from the city to Taoyuan Village.

The arrival of these guests immediately made Taoyuan Village even more lively. They came to enjoy the beautiful scenery and would return with the local specialties like eggs, chickens, ducks, geese, and vegetables.

Every local household had sold something to the influx of visitors, and the prices were high. This made the villagers very happy. They had gained another huge income.

…

Gong Tianhao accompanied Xiao Lingyu to the county town bank.

Xiao Lingyu had prepared sufficient information. Gong Tianhao was also there to help with the negotiations. The bank representative soon gave an answer. They could give Xiao Lingyu a loan, but they had to take at least ten days to verify her documents.

Xiao Lingyu didn’t mind. She knew about this already. However, Gong Tianhao was a little dissatisfied.

Whenever he wanted a loan, he would only need to make a phone call. He would never wait ten days.

When Gong Tianhao wanted to say something, Xiao Lingyu stopped him. She knew that with his identity, he could get a loan easily. After all, his rich assets were there for everyone to see. No one would waste time investigating his complicated background. However, her case was different. This was her first large loan, and she came from a small family. The bank was understandably cautious.

After they left the bank, Gong Tianhao said, “I know they need time to run the procedures, but isn’t it too slow? If a company needs funding, they would have gone bankrupt in ten days already.”

When a company faced problems in financial chains, it was a serious issue.

There were two ways for companies to solve this crisis.

The first was to find new investors. The second was to borrow a loan from the bank. Normally, the companies would go for the second method. This was because outside investors might completely derail the heart of the company. That was something most CEOs didn’t want to see.

Gong Tianhao became the nation’s richest man at a very young age. His companies had encountered such crises before, but he was able to deal with them quickly. Because with his identity, the bank would not make things difficult for him.

Gong Tianhao glanced at Xiao Lingyu from the corner of his eyes. There was no reason for Xiao Lingyu to even ask for a bank loan. He could wire her the money. He would give her three billion without a blink, much less a mere three million. But he knew Xiao Lingyu wouldn’t accept it.

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “It’s alright, I can wait!” The mountains were not going to run away anyway.

The mountains were not going to run away but some other people might have eyes on the mountains. Xiao Lingyu didn’t expect that.

…

“What? The higher-ups didn’t approve the request?” Xiao Lingyu frowned and asked with confusion.

Xiao Taiyang also said with confusion, “Yes, logically speaking, you are contracting the mountain to grow crops, not to engage in destructive development. The higher-ups should have approved it.

“However, your request was blocked. The reason given is they need to maintain the natural ecology. This… This isn’t right at all.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “There must be something going on here.”

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “Village chief, how about this? See if you can find out the inside news through your connections. I’ll also ask my friends.”

The village chief nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll ask around then.” Even if Taoyuan Village was poor, the village chief still had some connections in the town. The problem came directly from the county town.

After the village chief left, Gong Tianhao’s eyes flashed with a bright light.

The Xiao Family fell silent.

They did not expect something would go wrong.

Father Xiao said, “Yu ‘Er, the county government is not willing to approve your request?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Yes. Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’ll call my friends and see if they know anything.”

“Okay!”

On the other side, as soon as the village chief left, Gong Tianhao went out and made a phone call. He said directly, “It’s me. Go and investigate the mountain contract request in Xing Yin County. Yeah, I want to get the answer as soon as possible.”

Less than ten minutes after he hung up, his phone rang.

He answered, “Speak!”

Then, his face became more and more gloomy, and he said, “Okay, I got it.” Then, he hung up the phone. His eyes narrowed, and his deep eyes were mysterious.

Then, he sneered, “Haha. Do you people want to bully my woman? Fine, I’ll play with you.” Then, he walked back to the Xiao family and sat down as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Xiao Lingyu called Gu Ziye and said, “Ziye, I want to ask you for a favor. Well, I originally planned to contract a few mountains in Taoyuan Village. However, I face a problem with the county town government. My request was rejected because they said I’d destroy the natural ecology. But that is definitely not valid. I just want to plant fruit trees. I need your help to find out if there’s a conspiracy behind this.”

Gu Ziye and a few friends were having dinner in the private room. He replied, “Yes, no problem.”

After Gu Ziye put down the phone, Zheng Haiyang immediately asked, “Is that Xiao Lingyu?”

Gu Ziye nodded, “Yes!”

“Look at your serious expression.. Did something happen to Xiao Lingyu?” Zheng Haiyang asked anxiously.
