"Sir, it's just a small token of my appreciation." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I wanted to bring it with me when I went to Hongzhou last time, but considering that your body wasn't in good condition at that time, I didn't want to take it! So I didn't take it. But it's more suitable for you to take it now. It'll help your body recover. "
"No, Doctor Xia, this gift is too expensive. We can't accept it," Song Zhengping said.
Song Zhi Lan also quickly said, "Doctor Xia, your wild ginseng is indeed good for my father's body, but it's too expensive. How about this … We'll buy it from you, okay?"
At this moment, Master Song's face darkened and he said, "Zhi Lan, what are you talking about?"
Song Zhi Lan was stunned and said, "Dad …"
"Little Xia, this is a token of his appreciation, and you're talking about money with him?" Master Song frowned and said, "Can money buy such wild ginseng?"
Song Zhi Lan was confused. She didn't know what Master Song meant, so she could only accept it humbly.
Master Song smiled at Xia Ruofei and said, "Little Xia, since it's a gift from you, I'll make an exception and accept it. Thank you! But don't do it again. You're not allowed to give such expensive gifts in the future! "
"Sir, you're too polite," Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I promise to follow your instructions and come empty-handed in the future!"
Elder Song laughed and said, "It's right to come empty-handed! I don't lack anything here! "
Song Zhengping and Song Zhi Lan were both stunned. Their mouths were slightly agape.
Master Song had been honest all his life. He had never accepted gifts from others, let alone such expensive wild ginseng.
And they knew very well that Master Song wouldn't be greedy just because he saw something expensive.
In fact, with Master Song's status, as long as it was necessary for him to maintain his body, even if it was a wild ginseng older than this, the Family Song would still be able to get it. It would just take some effort.
In terms of value, the head of Family Song naturally wouldn't care about a mere few million.
Accepting the wild ginseng meant that the Family Song owed Xia Ruofei another favor.
From the looks of it, Master Song didn't seem to care about this.
What did this mean?
Obviously, Master Song viewed Xia Ruofei in a new light. If it weren't for his good impression of Xia Ruofei, Master Song wouldn't care even if the gift was ten times more expensive.
Elder Song looked at Song Zhengping and his sister and said, "What are you waiting for? Put it away! By the way, tell the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes for lunch. Xiaoxia will stay for lunch later. "
"Oh … Okay!" Song Zhi Lan quickly said.
She glanced at Xia Ruofei again before putting away the wild ginseng and leaving Master Song's room.
At noon, Master Song hosted a banquet for Xia Ruofei.
Because Xia Ruofei had to drive and Master Song had liver cancer, neither of them could drink alcohol, so everyone drank soft drinks and plain water.
However, the Song siblings, as well as Director Lu, personally toasted Xia Ruofei with soft drinks. They were very enthusiastic about him.
After lunch, Master Song took a dose of Chinese medicine and prepared to rest. Xia Ruofei also timely said goodbye.
Song Zhengping personally sent Xia Ruofei downstairs.
"Xiaoxia, I'll be returning to Xiangnan Province in the afternoon. I'll have to trouble you to take care of my father," Song Zhengping said with a pleasant expression.
After Master Song accepted Xia Ruofei's wild ginseng, Song Zhengping naturally changed the way he addressed Xia Ruofei from "Doctor Xia" to "Xiaoxia". This small change in the way he addressed Xia Ruofei also reflected the change in his position in the eyes of this governor.
Song Zhengping treated Xia Ruofei as one of his own.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Governor Song, don't worry. My father's body is fine. I estimate that after one or two months of treatment, he should be able to fully recover."
Song Zhengping smiled and nodded. "Okay! By the way, Song Rui will also be staying in Southeast Province for this period of time to take care of part of the family business. You two can help each other out. If you have any business difficulties, you can directly go to him. If it's something related to the system, you can go to Huilan. You two are very familiar with each other anyway. "
Song Zhengping said that they should help each other out, but in fact, Family Song didn't need Xia Ruofei's help. At least in Song Zhengping's opinion, he didn't need it. Therefore, he actually took the initiative to express his goodwill to Xia Ruofei, and also hinted that their Family Song could provide help when Xia Ruofei needed it.
"Okay, thank you, Governor Song." Xia Ruofei said. Then, he asked curiously, "By the way, hasn't Song Rui always been by your side? Why did you suddenly leave him in Southeast Province this time? "
Song Zhengping said, "That kid took the initiative to apply! I know what he's thinking. He just doesn't want to be controlled by me! But he's already in his twenties, so it's time for him to get some exercise! Moreover, the old man will be staying in Southeast Province for this period of time, and us siblings can't stay here for long. Some of the younger generation are studying abroad, while some are working in the system. Only this kid has nothing to do, so it's good to leave him here to accompany the old man. "
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile to show that he understood.
Song Zhengping said, "That little rascal of mine can't be compared to you. He'll definitely cause trouble when I'm not around. If possible, help me keep an eye on him. If it's too outrageous, call me. You have my personal number."
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei agreed with a smile.
However, Song Zhengping only mentioned it casually. He also knew that Xia Ruofei and Song Rui had a good relationship. He couldn't count on Xia Ruofei to snitch on him.
Fortunately, he had arranged for someone to protect Song Rui, and he naturally had his eyes and ears in the Southeast Branch of the family business, Hua Tian Group. Basically, Song Rui's every move couldn't escape his control.
After chatting with Song Zhengping for a while, Xia Ruofei said goodbye to him and drove away from Guling Courtyard.
…
For the next two days, Xia Ruofei stayed on the farm.
Manager Li came up with the design plan on the fourth day. He did his best. He probably stayed up for a few nights, so when Xia Ruofei saw him, his dark circles were very heavy and his eyes were red.
There were a total of two options. Xia Ruofei looked at the estimated cost. Both were about six million yuan.
The cost per square meter of civil engineering was about nine hundred yuan. There were other projects such as decoration, water supply and drainage, electrical engineering, installation, and so on. All together, the cost per square meter was less than two thousand yuan.
In the past few years, the cost of labor and the price of building materials had skyrocketed. Xia Ruofei did a little calculation and knew that the cost was basically the cost price. Even if he finished all of them, there wouldn't be much money to be made.
Xia Ruofei was naturally very satisfied with the design plan. He didn't have any problems with the price. He definitely didn't have enough cash at the moment, but he had a few hundred thousand yuan in his account every month. Moreover, he could sell a gold thread aniseed a month later. When that time came, it would be another large sum of money. Therefore, there was no problem in terms of funds.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei quickly chose a design that was more pleasing to the eye and directly decided on it.
Manager Li was also very efficient. The construction team was pulled in the next day and started in full swing.
When the workers heard that the farm was going to build an office building, and that there would be their lunch break and shift room, they were all very excited.
On the evening of the fifth day, Xia Ruofei went back to his room early after dinner.
