Chapter 1301: Niu Ming's Happy Occasion
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
As usual, Chen Yang got up, quickly tidied the house, and then headed to the office for a small meeting.
He shared everything he discussed with Wang Jingman yesterday with Wu Kexin and Li Han listening.
"The talks yesterday reached an agreement, and there's nothing wrong with the contract. Now the main thing is to select a site in the village as soon as possible to provide the land for their investment and construction," Chen Yang explained the current situation clearly.
Wu Kexin and Li Han listened and nodded with satisfaction.
"Regarding the land, Kexin and I discussed it yesterday. We were just waiting for your word; here, take a look." Li Han said with a smile, taking out a planning map and placing it in front of Chen Yang.
Recently, the village had undergone significant changes, and the planning map Li Han presented depicted what Liuhe Village would look like in the future.
Looking at the planned streets, the innovative buildings on either side, and the modern facilities, Chen Yang almost couldn't recognize Liuhe Village.
The planning map had the entire village laid out in such a way that it didn't resemble a mountain village at all.
Instead, it looked more like a new district built in a big city.
"In terms of planning, we've used most of the land for building shops and infrastructure. Right now, there are only these few vacant spots left that we can provide to her," Li Han pointed to several vacant areas on the planning map.
Hearing that, Chen Yang immediately looked in the direction Li Han indicated.
He found that those remaining spots were indeed quite suitable for Wang Jingman's investment.
The location was neither too remote nor too central, roughly two to three hundred meters from the designed entrance of the scenic area.
Since they were targeting mid to low-end hotels, this location was ideal — neither too far nor too close.
"Alright, these pieces of land are quite good in terms of size and location," Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction.
Li Han saw Chen Yang was pleased and smiled slightly, "Since you're satisfied, find an appropriate time to invite her over for a look. If it's suitable, it'd be good to invest and build quickly, as the park will be opening soon."
The projects in the village were progressing swiftly. The park had already started construction, and the village's infrastructure was mostly complete.
Only the amusement park zone was still under construction, so Li Han wasn't joking when she said the park would open soon.
"Alright, I'll let her know." Chen Yang agreed and, after chatting with the three women for a while in the office, he left again.
Since Li Han and Wu Kexin had work to do, staying in the office would have been pointless and possibly disruptive, so he chose not to linger and returned to his clinic.
Back at the clinic, Chen Yang pulled a chair to the backyard to relax and took out his phone to take a look.
He found that he had been using his phone less in the past couple of days and had many unread messages.
Most of them were from Yang Caiyun and Niu Ming.
Yang Caiyun shared the news of the branch opening of the River Fish Restaurant with Chen Yang, stating that the business was thriving.
Watching the lively video sent by Yang Caiyun, Chen Yang felt happy for her.
After replying to a few messages from Yang Caiyun with a smile, he opened Niu Ming's chat box.
He found Niu Ming's messages were almost the same, also talking about how well the business was doing and how bustling it was.
Initially, seeing these messages simply made Chen Yang smile and share a few happy words to conclude it.
But then he suddenly noticed Niu Ming's last message.
It said to prepare for a wedding celebration.
Seeing such a message, Chen Yang felt genuinely surprised.
"A wedding celebration? Is this guy getting married? He didn't even have a girlfriend; where did this wedding come from?" Chen Yang was taken aback and quickly replied, asking about the situation.
Shortly after he sent the message, Niu Ming responded.
"Haha, it's my wedding with Cuiqin, of course."
Niu Ming's reply was short, but from those few words, Chen Yang could still imagine the situation.
"I had a hunch those two had something going on; I didn't expect Niu Ming to act so fast. What a move," Chen Yang couldn't help but smile.
This smile was purely out of happiness for Niu Ming.
Although he hadn't interacted much with Cuiqin, he had a good eye for people. Caiqin was diligent and warm-hearted.
Being with Niu Ming, they were quite compatible.
"You're something, getting married so soon. Shouldn't I prepare a big gift for you? Have you set the wedding date?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.
"It's set, a week from now, here in the village," Niu Ming replied.
"There's no need for any big gifts between us brothers; your presence would make me very happy. No need for formalities," Niu Ming followed up with a second message.
Seeing Niu Ming's message, Chen Yang smiled slightly, didn't say much more, and just replied that he would definitely be there, then closed the chat and made a call to Wang Jingman.
He informed her that the village land had been selected and was just waiting for her to come for an on-site inspection.
He also inquired about when she'd have time to visit.
Upon hearing the news, Wang Jingman immediately decided she'd come over later.
Because she was currently at Li's store preparing herbal medicine.
She was using the prescription Chen Yang had given her yesterday.
"Alright, there's a direct bus from the county to the village. Just call me when you arrive," Chen Yang said with a smile and then hung up.
Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Wang Jingman called again, saying she had arrived at the village station.
Chen Yang was in the climate-controlled room at that time and, upon hearing this, took a quick glance in the direction of the station, indeed seeing a county bus pulling into the station.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Chen Yang nodded and, hanging up the phone, headed straight for the station.
Upon reaching the station entrance, he met with Wang Jingman.
Wang Jingman's expression at that moment was quite exaggerated.
With eyes wide with amazement, she scanned the surrounding streets and the station behind her.
She had never seen a village so well-developed.
A dual carriageway ran across the village, and the streets were lined with ancient slate-paved alleyways.
The buildings on both sides of the streets were also modeled in an ancient style with shop fronts.
This looked nothing like a small village but more like a stylized street built with major city investment.
"What are you so stunned about? Is it that surprising?" Chen Yang couldn't help but say with a smile seeing Wang Jingman's prolonged silence.
Only then did Wang Jingman reel in her astonished sentiments.
"Yes, I'm very surprised. I really didn't expect the village to be so well-developed. It's no wonder it's a top-class tourist area; with facilities like this, it will certainly thrive," Wang Jingman nodded with sincere admiration.
Chen Yang smiled slightly: "The investment wasn't small to build this, but let's go see the reserved land first. After checking it out, you can have a meal at my place, and I'll give you a proper treat."
"Sure."
Wang Jingman nodded and left the station with Chen Yang, walking along the road to the designated land plot.
