“Sure.”

Greg’s eyes lit up. Each time he visited, he stayed at a hotel, which truly was a bit inconvenient.

Lois chuckled, “What kind of house do you like? A villa or a residential apartment?”

“A large flat.”

Greg had seen those spacious flats on the short video platform: bright, with a great view, and not small in size.

When he was in college, he thought that if he ever got rich, he would buy one of those large flats to live in.

“Then you’ll have to go to the city. You can’t find those kinds of large flats in the county.”

“Uh, then just rent something spacious with a good view.”

After pondering for a moment, Lois said, “Then I’ll check out Love Home Garden when 1 have some time.”

“Okay, let me know how much it is, and 1’11 transfer the money to you,” Greg said.

Lois gave him a look, huffed, and said, “You’re the one who needs money. Keep it for yourself; 1 have my own money.”

After saying that, she playfully winked and giggled, “Consider it as me keeping you, from now on I’ll be your sugar mama. You need to be obedient, you hear?” “Really?”

Greg pinched her belly hard and said with a mischievous smile, “Then I must serve you well. Shall we start now?”

“No, you just want to take advantage of me.”

Lois shifted and found a more comfortable sitting position, then asked, “By the way, you don’t have a car yet, right? Want me to buy you one?”

“Forget about it. In my current state, I can’t drive anyways.”

“No worries, I’ll keep it in town for you. Whenever you want to drive it, you can.”

Greg felt warmth in his heart but still declined, “No need; you’re really making it seem like you’re keeping me.”

“Hmph, you don’t know how many people are waiting for me to keep them.”

Lois gave him a look and then changed the subject, “By the way, my aunt mentioned awhile back that there was trouble in your village?”

“Yeah, a developer went there to cause trouble.”

“And then?”

With a smile, Greg boasted, “Of course, your husband chased them away.”

Hearing the word husband’, Lois’s face turned red, and she scolded, “Stop it, don’t talk nonsense, if my dad hears you, he’ll break your legs.”

“Mr. Walker, what do you think we should do next?”

Sitting opposite Kenny Walker, Arthur’s face was etched with worry. He didn’t have much of a fortune to begin with, and now it had all been poured into the preliminary work of the resort development.

If the resort project were to fall through, bankruptcy would not be far off for him.

He had thought that with Kenny Walker stepping in, the issue would be easily resolved, but Micah Brent hadn’t shown any respect at all.

Kenny’s expression was grim as he said coldly, “Don’t worry about Micah

Brent; I’ll invite him to dinner later. After that, he won’t be able to cause us any trouble.”

Arthur asked, “What about Peach Blossom Village?”

“I’ll give you fifty more people. Anyone who dares to resist, knock them down first, and as long as there’s no fatality, there won’t be any major issues.”

Kenny frowned and then asked, “That Brandon Brent, is someone instigating him to stir up trouble?”

“Yes, it seems to be someone named Mr. Jensen.”

Arthur’s mind raced, and suddenly thinking of something, he said, “Mr.

Walker, those country bumpkins from Peach Blossom Village also have the surname Jensen; could this Mr. Jensen be related to them?”

Kenny shook his head slightly and replied, “Unlikely. Whoever can instruct Brandon Brent should have a substantial background. How could they be related to those country bumpkins?”

“Good if there’s no connection.” Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

Kenny then said, “Did that big boss Liu from Duo Phoenix Town also show up?”

“Yes, he arrived later on.”

“Hmm, then let’s start with him!”

Greg Jensen had spent half a day in the county town, buying a pile of medicinal herbs, before returning to Peach Blossom Village, utterly unaware that a crisis was stealthily approaching.

His mind was now entirely focused on how to make money; after all, there was only three hundred thousand left in his bank account.

Three hundred thousand might seem like a lot, but it couldn’t even buy a set of Qi Blood Pills.

The return on medicinal herbs would take two to three months to realize, and while the vegetable business could yield faster results, sales were likely to be slow at the start.

Greg Jensen planned to target the high-end market, selling directly to the wealthy families in the county, so Lois Abbott talked to Alfred Webb about this that very day, hoping he could help find some connections to see if it was possible to open a fruit and vegetable supermarket.

However, the precondition for opening a fruit and vegetable supermarket was that Greg could guarantee the quality of the vegetables to be superior to that of ordinary produce; otherwise, why would the affluent buy your veggies?

After these recent incidents, Lois Abbott had full confidence in Greg and even showed signs of blind trust.

Therefore, she had no worries about the doubts her father had raised. Early the next morning, she arrived at Peach Blossom Village to discuss the collaboration with Lindsey Wolfe.

Lindsey Wolfe turned pale when she heard about establishing a vegetable base; the idea of opening such a large vegetable store in town was beyond her imagination.

And now a vegetable base?

That was a business she didn’t think she could handle.

Lois Abbott smiled and said, “All you need to do is direct the workers in growing the vegetables; you don’t have to worry about the rest.”

Lindsey Wolfe felt much better knowing she would only be responsible for growing the vegetables. After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind.

“Alright, since President Abbott trusts me so much, I’ll give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, you can pull out later.”

“Haha, Sister Lindsey is a decisive person; I’m sure she’ll do a great job. Plus, if the produce from your family’s land meets the quality standards, it can also be sold at the fruit and vegetable supermarket.”

“Really?”

Lindsey Wolfe’s interest was piqued upon hearing this.

The land belonging to Greg Jensen and the others, all from the Jensen Family, produced very tasty vegetables.

However, the spending power of Duo Phoenix Town was just average, so she couldn’t sell the produce for too high a price, and even then, a lot remained unsold.

If she could partner with Love Home Garden, she could definitely make more money.

Lindsey Wolfe immediately signed the contract.

Having settled the matter of the vegetable base, Lois Abbott was very happy and kept glancing at Greg with an expression full of pride and as if seeking commendation.

After discussing some details with Lindsey Wolfe, Lois Abbott stood up to leave.

“Second Master” came over, worried, and said, “Freya, that Liu Laotie is the village head; he has the final say in the village affairs, he might just take the chance to demand money from us, right?”

“This…”

Lindsey Wolfe also felt concerned but, thinking about the signed contract, she gritted her teeth and said, “What’s there to be afraid of, we’ll just give him the money if it comes down to it!”

“Second Master” sighed and silently nodded in agreement.

In Peach Blossom Village, aside from the Hall Family, it was near impossible for anyone else to accomplish something.

“Did you place the order for the bricks used in construction?”

“I did; each brick costs thirty or forty cents.”

Lindsey Wolfe said helplessly, “It is a bit expensive, but there’s no helping it.”

“Damn that Old Liu, not doing a proper job.”

“Exactly, the red bricks outside, now they’re at most twenty cents apiece.” Greg Jensen sat to one side and watched, unable to resist a secret chuckle. Old Liu was probably also aware of what Lindsey Wolfe and the others were saying about him and would feel terribly wronged, since he hardly managed the brick factory and had no idea about Lindsey Wolfe ordering red bricks.

However, Greg had already called him, and he guessed that the bricks would be delivered soon.

Just then, suddenly, the sound of a tractor came from outside..
