“Little Master, do you think Master can turn Taoyuan Village into a tourist destination and make it a success?” Xiao Ling asked curiously in the space.

Xiao Tong said very proudly, “It must be a success!”

In his previous life, he had heard from his grandparents that his mother worked in a big company in a big city and had become an executive. She had a lot of things to do every day, so she had no time to come back and visit him.

But in fact, Xiao Tong knew very well in his heart that it was not that his mother did not have time to come back and visit him, but that she did not want to see him at all, so she avoided him whenever she could.

Although his mother did not like him in his previous life, he now knew that his mother in that life was probably a strong woman, which was why her career was very successful, and she was able to become an executive in a big company.

She was now very successful in planting vegetables. As for the fruits, she would only be able to harvest them in the second half of the year.

With his mother’s ability, how could this latest project fail?

The most important aspect was money.

But didn’t he have the richest father in the world?

Although his father was unconscious now, he still had a healthy great-grandfather. His great-grandfather liked his mother and great-grandson.

With a lift from his finger, his mother would have enough to invest in several Taoyuan Villages.

Of course, his mother was a woman of integrity. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she would definitely not use the Gong Family’s money.

Xiao Ling did not know where the little master’s confidence came from, but he was a little disappointed because he wanted to go out and play.

He didn’t want to follow little master in the space every day. His little master’s soul was too strong, and he was under a lot of pressure.

Besides, Little Master didn’t come to play with him when he entered the space, but to cultivate. After seeing the bustle outside, Xiao Ling wanted to go out and play. But master seemed to have forgotten about his existence.

Every day, she threw little master into the space, and then she started to work.

“Xiao Ling, what’s wrong?” Xiao Tong saw Xiao Ling’s slightly depressed mood and asked curiously.

Xiao Ling thought for a moment and said truthfully, “Little Master, have Master forgotten about me? Previously, master had promised me that as long as there was a chance, she would let me go out and play. But I’ve been here for so long, and Master hasn’t let me go out to play again.”

Xiao Tong held his chin and waved his hand, then said, “It’s not that mom has forgotten about you, but she’s been busy recently. In addition, your appearance is hard to explain. It would be shocking and very unsafe. Therefore, mom must still be looking for an opportunity to let you appear in front of people openly and play.”

Xiao Ling still didn’t understand.

When Xiao Tong saw Xiao Ling’s unhappy look, he could only comfort her, “Be good. You have to believe in your master. My mom definitely didn’t forget the promise she made to you. It’s just that she doesn’t have the opportunity now.”

Xiao Ling said reluctantly, “Alright.” At this point, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes sparkled. He said, “Little Master, can you help me ask Master something?”

“…” Xiao Tong spread his hands and said helplessly, “Have you forgotten that I’m only seven months old now? I don’t know how to talk. If I don’t know how to talk, how can I help you ask? I suggest you ask mother yourself.”

Xiao Ling’s eyes darkened, and he nodded. “Okay!”

…

Recently, Xiao Lingyu had been very busy. Developing Taoyuan Village was something that took up a lot of time. The village belonged to many different families.

Therefore, the development of this piece of land had to be approved by the entire village. It also had to be approved by the town, the county, and even the city.

During this approval process, as long as there was one party who didn’t agree, it meant that all of the previous efforts had been in vain.

Therefore, these days, Xiao Lingyu and the village were busy, going back and forth between the county and the city.

Things at Xing An Town were okay. When the people in the town center saw Xiao Lingyu’s proposal, they were very optimistic. Over the past year, Taoyuan Village leaped from the poorest village to the richest village. Naturally, the town council paid a lot of attention to this.

Now, Taoyuan Village was starting a new project, and the initiator of the project was Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu was a famous university student who had helped the entire village become rich. Her name had been recorded in the minds of the town leaders a long time ago.

Therefore, when they saw her application and carefully read it, they were really surprised.

If Taoyuan Village was turned into a farm and a tourist base, it would not only bring about the prosperity of the entire village but also the economic development of the entire town and even the entire county.

Xiao Lingyu’s plan wouldn’t occupy a single piece of existing farmland. On the contrary, she planned to use this farmland to create tourist attractions like vegetable fields, flower fields, terraced fields, and so on.

On top of that, the investment didn’t involve any outside investors. It was purely Xiao Lingyu and the villagers. This was to preserve the original style and customs of Taoyuan Village to the greatest extent, and it also protected the interests of the villagers.

….

“This Xiao Lingyu is really a talent.” The town leader held the proposal and clicked his tongue in praise.

“Xiao Lingyu graduated from a famous university. She must have some talent and ability.” The subordinate immediately echoed, “Well, she has turned the poorest village in the county into the richest village in the county in just over a year since she returned from the big city. Her ability is not to be underestimated.”

“Now she wants to change the whole Taoyuan Village. Such confidence!”

The Taoyuan Village project was nominally invested by Xiao Lingyu and the entire village. However, Xiao Lingyu was the only one who paid for it. The villagers were just taking advantage of the situation.

The amount of money required for this project was huge. Xiao Lingyu must be really rich to take on this project alone.

When the subordinate heard the leader’s words, he leaned over and whispered, “Leader, can this Xiao Lingyu really take on such a huge project? Should we pull in some investors to prevent failure?”

“What nonsense!” The leader heard his subordinate’s suggestion and said with a very serious expression, “Xiao Lingyu would have stated in the proposal if she needed outside investors. Since she didn’t, it meant that she could handle everything on her own. If a random investor were brought in, would Taoyuan Village still retain its current state?”

The subordinate said with some grievance, “But leader, does Xiao Lingyu really has that much money? What if the project runs out of money halfway through development. Then what should we do?

“We should look for investors now. If the project halted, then we could still rescue it with outside investment. If the project failed, then our town council would be a huge laughing stock.”

Basically, the subordinate was only looking out for his boss.

When the town leader heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly as if he was thinking. Then, he waved his hand and said, “We don’t need to worry about this now!” At worst, the town council would directly take over this project in the future.

The subordinate was stunned. “…” If they didn’t need to worry about this now, when should they worry about it? When the project was about to fail?

This subordinate was a little confused.

This subordinate didn’t know the whole picture because he wasn’t here a year ago. Someone from outside wanted to take over Taoyuan Village, but the company went bankrupt, and the organization of the different government councils changed drastically.

Town leaders had news channels. They knew that the cause of the bankruptcy and everything else was Xiao Lingyu. This went to show how powerful she was. The power behind her was big.

Since Xiao Lingyu had the confidence to hand in this proposal, it meant that she had the money and confidence.

Therefore, as for whether the investment failed or not, it was not something they needed to worry about.

Regarding this proposal, after the town leader held a decision meeting with the others, he signed it and gave his seal of approval. Then the proposal was submitted to Xing Yin County Council.

The County Council’s leader was Qian Yifan’s father, who was somewhat familiar with Xiao Lingyu.

Back then, when Xiao Lingye held the university banquet, he had attended it. Even though he left in a hurry, it showed his respect for Xiao Lingye and Xiao Lingyu.

When he saw Xiao Lingyu’s proposal, he thought it was pretty good. The proposal went through smoothly after a meeting with the county authorities.

Of course, when Xiao Lingyu received this news, she was very excited and happy.

She never expected that the approval from Xing An Town and Xing Yin County would pass so quickly. This was even faster than when she applied to contract the mountains.

The proposal was at the city council. She wondered how it would go.

Although she had worked in City Z for a few years and knew a few people, she did not know a single person from City Z’s city council.

Therefore, she could only wait for news.

While she was waiting, Xiao Lingyu and the villagers were calculating the land rent and the matter of the rental shares.

Just as Xiao Lingyu had expected, some villagers only wanted to take the money and were not willing to invest.

Their potential shares were brought by Xiao Lingyu or other villagers. Of course, most of it was bought by Xiao Lingyu. Normal villagers weren’t that rich or that into risk-taking.
