Chapter 737: Chapter 737 Plantation Plan 15_1

If, after receiving the geological report today, He Zhilan still looked puzzled and told him that she didn’t know how to choose, Xing Ye would consider whether to persuade her not to undertake these matters, or at least not on such a large scale. Fortunately, He Zhilan didn’t disappoint him.

After leaving Xing Ye, He Zhilan went to the address of the lawyer provided by Xing Ye. Having been notified in advance by Xing Ye, the lawyer had a detailed understanding and communication about He Zhilan’s situation and immediately prepared a contract for her. As for the ten-year lease proposal He Zhilan had previously brought up, the lawyer grandly extended it to thirty years. This was to prevent someone from exploiting loopholes and intentionally causing damage once the botanical garden was established. After all, ten years could pass in the blink of an eye, but with this thirty-year lease, the rent would be promised to the villagers according to the market conditions each year, decreasing when necessary and increasing when warranted.

After thanking the lawyer, He Zhilan returned to her residence. The attorney was assigned full authority for the lease and the mountain-contract matters while she and Xing Ye’s assistant went to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce to register a company directly in S Province. When filling out the registration form, upon reaching the section on company name, He Zhilan immediately wrote down Lanteng.

The subsequent time was spent waiting. Once the company’s registration was complete, they could apply for a loan, sign contracts with the villagers, recruit workers, and begin sowing seeds as soon as they arrived. Only once everything in S Province was on the right track could He Zhilan return to the capital.

That day, it was very late when He Zhilan returned to her lodgings. By nine o’clock, He Teng had yet returned so she rested. Although she didn’t know why He Teng had come to the S Province, she knew that even if she asked, he wouldn’t tell her, so He Zhilan didn’t bother guessing or asking. She figured that this was Xing Ye’s territory and that He Teng should be safe.

In this manner, she waited for ten days. During these ten days, He Teng did not return or send any news back. The Lanteng Company was also registered, and the bank loan was progressing smoothly.

However, He Zhilan did not expect that at this time, Lan Song would suddenly seek her out.

Lan Song had been waiting for He Zhilan at the entrance of the village when she returned. Seeing her, he greeted her in a friendly manner, as if he had never bullied He Zhilan together with Gu En in the capital.

In the restaurant, He Zhilan stared at her coffee without any discernible expression on her face. Lan Song stopped her and said he had important matters to discuss, "Speak, what important matter would make you, Lan Song, shamelessly reach out to me, He Zhilan? I don’t recall having any ties with you."

"Don’t say it like that~" Lan Song softly laughed, "Still holding a grudge that I sided with Ms. Gu En in the capital? But she is the young lady of the Gu Family and when she speaks, how could I resist? After all, didn’t I just follow orders? If you should be resentful, it should be towards Gu En!"

After clearing the air, Lan Song looked straight at He Zhilan, "I heard you’ve made quite a stir with this Lanteng Company of yours! Why are you leasing all this land? It’s not to grow crops and start a vegetable business, is it?"

"What’s it to you?" He Zhilan raised an eyebrow, "The important matter you mentioned wouldn’t solely be about coming here to inquire about my plans, would it? If so, don’t you find it ludicrous? Given our relationship, do you really think I, He Zhilan, would tell you my plans and give you the chance to report back to Gu En and conspire against me?"
