56: underground springs

Two months later,

it was the day Jiang Yan started school.

Since she had been admitted to Modu University, she wasn't in a hurry at all.

Jiang Li drove the rolls-royce to Modu University to drop her off.

Mu Jin and Mu Nuan followed behind in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

After entering the school, they helped Jiang Yan tidy up her dormitory.

"Yan Yan, study hard at school!"

"Mm, I know, Sister. You should head back soon; I'll be going home tonight!"

"Alright, I got it. I'll leave the car for you; remember to take it slow on the way back."

Jiang Li handed the rolls-royce keys directly to Jiang Yan and then left with Mu Jin and Mu Nuan.

Just as they left the dormitory and reached the entrance, she heard a familiar voice.

She turned to look, and it was indeed him.

"Qi Qi, did you come to school by yourself?"

Jiang Li asked as she looked at the lone Fu Xiangqi.

Fu Xiangqi replied, "No, Sister. Uncle Zhou Ran came to drop me off; my parents aren't home."

"I see. My younger sister is here too; I'll introduce you two if there's a chance."

Hearing this, Fu Xiangqi said, "Okay, Sister, I understand. I'll be going now!"

"Alright, come over to my house to hang out when you're free."

Jiang Li left without noticing anything unusual about Fu Xiangqi.

Fu Xiangqi stood there watching Jiang Li's retreating back, an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Just then, Zhou Ran came over and saw him alone. "Young Master, are you going home today?"

Facing Zhou Ran, Fu Xiangqi didn't have the slightest bit of the well-behaved manner he showed Jiang Li. "I'm not going back. I have things to do today. My parents aren't home, so don't worry about me!"

"Understood, Young Master."

Looking at the somewhat cold Young Master, Zhou Ran thought to himself, 'How is this Young Master so mature and steady when he's just reached adulthood? As expected, Chairman Fu's child is not someone I can compare to.'

Fu Xiangqi returned to his dormitory, thinking about Jiang Li.

He hadn't been clear about his feelings before, but now he seemed to know; it seemed he had fallen for Jiang Li.

In these two months, he had learned about Jiang Li's past life and her current life.

Especially in her past life, Jiang Li had been so strong.

In this life, relying on herself, she had ensured all the evildoers received their punishment.

Although his mother had passed away in his past life, his father was there, and his life afterwards had been very smooth sailing.

In her past life, Jiang Li was all alone with no one to help her.

His heart ached for her.

In this life, she didn't have to work so hard anymore, yet she was working non-stop... Jiang Li planned to head home but received a call from the construction team on the way.

"Miss Jiang, there seems to be something different here. Please come over quickly!"

Jiang Li remembered they had been cleaning up that desolate farmhouse; logically, they should have finished everything within these few days.

"Mu Jin, go to the Xiyuan Farmhouse in the west of the city."

"Yes, Miss."

Mu Jin had been there and knew where it was.

It took an hour and a half to get from the north of the city to the west.

After getting out of the car, all the workers were resting. The head of the construction team saw her and stepped forward. "Chairman Jiang, look." He handed a stone to Jiang Li for her to inspect.

To Jiang Li, it looked like an ordinary stone. "What use is this?"

The construction head said, "Miss Jiang, if I'm not mistaken, there should be groundwater here, and likely a spring eye. It has great nutritional value."

"Groundwater? A spring eye?"

"Yes, Miss Jiang. We cannot continue further."

"Alright, I understand. Mu Jin, settle their wages and pay them double."

"Yes, Miss."

After those people left, the three of them waited in the car for the inspectors to arrive.

It took about two hours for the inspectors to reach.

"Miss Jiang, is it this mountain?"

"Yes, sorry for the trouble!"

"It's no problem."

So, the group went up the mountain with their equipment. They eventually found a spring eye halfway up the mountain, filled a cup, and waited to return for testing.

"Miss Jiang, we've found the spring eye. We'll send you the results once we've checked it back at the lab."

"Alright, sorry for the trouble."

Two days later, Jiang Li received a text message.

It said the spring water from that mountain had a higher purity than mineral water and was very nutritious.

A phone call followed immediately. "Miss Jiang, there is a spring eye halfway up the mountain; the nutritional value of the spring water is very high."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work."

"It's no problem."

The test report has been mailed to you!

"Okay, I got it."

Afterwards, Jiang Li began to fret. The entire mountain was hers, and that Xiyuan Farmhouse was also a thousand square meters—it was huge.

She didn't know who had built such a large farmhouse in the first place, but since it was like this, she would renovate it.

She thought of the previous designer, Li Xiang.

She called him and told him she wanted to change the farmhouse to a Chinese style.

Li Xiang planned to visit the site before he could make any changes.

Jiang Li agreed and had Mu Jin pick him up to inspect the place.

After the inspection, Li Xiang had an idea in mind and spoke to Jiang Li.

"Miss Jiang, it can be renovated. I suggest building an orchard around it. Inside the farmhouse, we can design hot springs, dining areas, and lodging. The adjacent orchard can also be for leisure and entertainment. Then people can go there to relax. Also, I heard from Miss Mu that there's a spring eye on the mountain; this can also be channeled into the farmhouse."

Jiang Li said, "Alright, let's go with that design. Once you have the draft, I'll take a look."

"Okay, Miss Jiang."

After talking with Li Xiang, Jiang Li went to find Chairman Fu, thinking of collaborating to buy up the surrounding land.

As it turned out, before she could take action, the system's reward arrived.

【Ding~, rewarding three plots of land in the west of the city.】

Jiang Li checked and found it was exactly where Xiyuan Farmhouse was. Wasn't this perfect!

So the next day, she went directly to Fu Youchi to collaborate.

She would provide the land, and the Fu Group would handle the construction.

Costs would be split 60-40.

Jiang Li would take 60%, and the Fu Group 40%.

Fu Youchi was still considering it; he also had a project recently that required money.

It wasn't until his son told him to cooperate with Jiang Li that Fu Youchi made up his mind.

However, Fu Youchi privately asked Fu Xiangqi, "Son, tell me, are you sure it's not because you like that Jiang Li girl?"

"Dad, what are you talking about! Forget it, you can invest in other projects; I won't care if you lose money, just don't ask me for money. I'm going to invest this money in Sister Jiang Li."

"You brat, did I say I wouldn't invest or cooperate? We'll cooperate with your Sister Jiang Li right away."

Fu Xiangqi looked at his father's back. Those plots of land in the west of the city were going to be very profitable. Dad can just wait to make money!

See how good I am.

As for that plot of land in the outskirts, after Fu Youchi bought it, he built a library for Fu Xiangqi, with a research institute underneath.

A university was also built next to it, though it was a private one.

To provide cover for his son's research institute, it was good enough.

It only took up a few tens of thousands of square meters.

However, construction wasn't finished yet.

All the permits required for building a school had been approved.

The batch of medical equipment used in their own hospital was precisely what his son had developed.

The next day, Jiang Li received news of the collaboration between the Fu Group and herself.

【Ding~, a new day. Rewarding Jiang Group with Minlu Street located in the city center!】
