Xia Ruofei, who was discussing infrastructure matters with Manager Li and Feng Jing at the newly demarcated land in the south, couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she saw that Qin Xiaoyu hadn't left and had instead chased after her.
He thought to himself, could it be that this girl still hasn't given up?
Qin Xiao Yu got out of the car and walked in front of Xia Ruofei. She said stiffly, "We accept your proposal. Chief Chen agrees to let you arrange for your friend to attend the award ceremony."
Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's right! If there's room for discussion, everyone won't make things difficult, right? "
Qin Xiao Yu snorted and didn't give Xia Ruofei any face.
Since Xia Ruofei had already promised Qin Xiao Yu, he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her now. He didn't mind Qin Xiao Yu's attitude and said with a smile, "I'll arrange it. I'll let him contact you in the afternoon."
"You better hurry up. Also, tell your friend about the situation at the time. There will be a lot of reporters tomorrow!" Qin Xiao Yu said.
Xia Ruofei shook his head and said, "My friend will only attend the award ceremony and won't accept any interviews. You can introduce the case to the police."
"How can you be like this?" Qin Xiao Yu couldn't hold back her anger.
Especially when she saw Xia Ruofei still had a half-smile on his face, as if he was sure that she would win. This made her even angrier.
But she soon realized sadly that at least in this matter, Xia Ruofei was sure that she would win. She didn't need to think to know that Chief Chen had already agreed to Xia Ruofei's condition that he wouldn't personally attend. As for Xia Ruofei's friend's request to not accept any interviews, he would definitely agree without even thinking.
Anyway, it's not my personal matter. What's the point of fighting with him? Qin Xiao Yu thought to herself dishearteningly.
"Alright then, you arrange for the person …" Qin Xiao Yu said dejectedly.
"Don't worry, I'll naturally do what I promised," Xia Ruofei said plainly, then asked, "Is there anything else, Police Officer Qin?"
Qin Xiaoyu shook her head coldly and turned to walk towards the police car.
When Qin Xiaoyu opened the door of the police car, she thought of something else and said loudly, "Xia Ruofei, our Chief Chen said that we will give you the promised 100,000 yuan reward. In addition, we will reward you 50,000 yuan in the name of the Sanshan City Public Security Bureau!"
At this time, Xia Ruofei had already turned around and walked towards Feng Jing and Manager Li. Hearing this, he stopped and waved his hand without looking back. He said loudly, "Got it. Please thank your Director Chen for me!"
When Qin Xiaoyu saw that Xia Ruofei didn't even turn his head, she couldn't help but mutter softly, "Seriously, what's with the arrogance …"
Although the outcome of this matter wasn't perfect, at least the mission was completed. Qin Xiao Yu didn't want to stay for a moment longer. As soon as she got in the car, she started the car and quickly left Peach Blossom Farm.
On this side, Feng Jing and Manager Li were watching the show. However, since Xia Ruofei didn't say anything to explain, they naturally didn't ask. The three of them continued to survey the construction site and discuss the construction of the infrastructure.
Xia Ruofei accompanied Manager Li to finish looking at the plots on both the north and south sides. Then, he personally walked him to the small plaza in front of the complex where the car was parked. He smiled and said, "Manager Li, then I'll have to trouble you to design a plan for us first! In addition to the cold storage in the south side, we can also design a few vegetable greenhouses. The north side will mainly be the greenhouses. In addition, we can set aside a suitable part of the land to leave some space for future development. "
"Okay, we'll come up with the plan as soon as possible," Manager Li said politely.
Feng Jing added, "Chairman, after the cold storage is built, our farm's electricity consumption will definitely increase by a lot. Also, the cold storage must ensure the supply of electricity. If there's a power outage, it will cause a lot of losses. So, I think it's necessary to contact the power supply company and apply for two dedicated power lines, one main and one backup."
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel the pinch when he heard this. The dedicated power lines were directly wired from the substation. Also, if one main and one backup power lines were to be wired from two different substations. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a backup effect. Calculating the cost like this, it was not a small sum!
Also, after the cold storage was built, the maintenance and inspection of the two power lines would definitely be entrusted to the power supply company. This way, other than the monthly electricity bill, there would still be expenses.
But Xia Ruofei also knew that this money couldn't be saved.
Otherwise, if the cold storage was used to store a lot of expensive Peach Blossom vegetables, and there was a long power outage, then the losses would be even more.
Just when Xia Ruofei was silently calculating in his heart, Manager Li took the initiative to say, "Boss Xia, Manager Feng, we have a lot of dealings with the power supply company. I will go back and talk to Manager Liang, and we will help you to coordinate! The price will definitely be discounted. "
"That's great!" Xia Ruofei said happily, "Manager Li, then I'll leave it to you."
"Boss Xia, don't be so polite. Our Manager Liang had told us to do our best to serve you!" Manager Li said with a smile.
After sending Manager Li off, Feng Jing went back to her office to continue working. Xia Ruofei stood in the small square in front of the building and pondered for a while. Then he called Lei Hu over.
Lei Hu quickly drove the patrolling electric scooter to Xia Ruofei and said, "Brother Xia, you were looking for me?"
"Yes, Huzi, I have something for you to do!" Xia Ruofei nodded and said.
Then Xia Ruofei briefly told Lei Hu about going to the Public Security Bureau to receive the award. He didn't tell Lei Hu too much about what happened at that time. He only told him that he was to attend the award ceremony as his friend and that he wouldn't accept any interviews from the reporters.
This was a small matter for Lei Hu. He was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Naturally, he wouldn't have any stage fright.
Xia Ruofei also told Lei Hu to put on a simple disguise before attending the event and try not to appear in front of the media with his original appearance. Disguise was a compulsory course for the special forces, so naturally, it wasn't a problem for Lei Hu.
Finally, Xia Ruofei sent Qin Xiaoyu's phone number to Lei Hu and said, "Huzi, this is the phone number of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Officer Qin. Take the initiative to contact her later. She will tell you the details of the event. Remember, other than what I said, reject all other unreasonable requests!"
Lei Hu grinned and said, "Understood! Brother Xia, I'm just going to be a mascot and cooperate with the leaders to give out awards and take photos for the reporters! I understand … "
"Understood correctly!" Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Oh right, I'll send you my personal account number later. You can ask the Public Security Bureau to transfer the after-tax bonus directly to my account."
"Okay! Don't worry! If I can't even complete such a simple task, I really don't have the face to work in the company! "Lei Hu laughed and said.
Xia Ruofei patted Lei Hu's shoulder and said, "Then I'll leave it to you! Go do your work! "
After Xia Ruofei finished arranging, he didn't go back to the office. Instead, he went straight back to the villa.
There were only two core runes left that were difficult to chew. Xia Ruofei was ready to continue practicing and try to master them as soon as possible.
After returning to the villa, Xia Ruofei closed the doors and windows tightly. He took out the low-quality white jade pieces, picked up the carving knife and started practicing without any distractions.
In the evening, Xia Ruofei was already able to carve the penultimate independent rune. However, the success rate wasn't high. He was still a bit away from mastering it.
Xia Ruofei wasn't in a hurry. He packed his things and prepared to go to the staff cafeteria for dinner.
After he put away the white jade pieces and the carving knife, he reached out and picked up the phone that was beside him.
In order to avoid interference, although Xia Ruofei didn't turn off the phone, he set it to silent mode and even turned off the vibration.
He picked up the phone and saw that there were two missed calls.
Both calls were from Old Master Tang He in the United States.
So, Xia Ruofei walked out and called back.
"Little Xia!" Elder Tang's hearty voice came from the phone.
Xia Ruofei said with a trace of guilt, "Elder Tang, I'm really sorry. I set my phone to silent mode and didn't receive your call."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Tang He laughed and said, "I'm not looking for you for some urgent matter."
"Oh? Then you're looking for me because … "
"Little Xia, I just want to ask you, can you spare some time in the next few days?" Tang He asked gently, "If you're free, I'm going to invite you to Australia to inspect the farm that we're working on together!"
Xia Ruofei also guessed that Tang He was looking for him because of the farm.
Although the money invested in the farm was nothing to Tang He, it was still bought with money. He couldn't just leave it empty, right? Since the farm was going to start planting crops, it couldn't do without his "technical support."
Xia Ruofei was already a little surprised that Tang He only looked for him after such a long time. He guessed that Tang He was entangled with official business in the United States and didn't have time to spare. Then, he sent his subordinates to accompany him to Australia, which seemed a little unimportant, so he kept delaying it.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei said without hesitation, "I'm fine with it, Elder Tang. Your time is of the essence!"
Tang He said happily, "That's great! Little Xia, let's set it for three days later! I'll ask Zhou Qing to send someone to the farm to find you and help you with some procedures to go abroad. Three days is enough! "
Zhou Qing was the president of Shengbang Group in Greater China. Last time, when the Taoyuan Farm building was completed, he was entrusted by Tang He to bring a brand-new Mercedes-Benz as a congratulatory gift.
If Xia Ruofei didn't use his connections and followed the normal procedures to apply for a passport and visa, three days would definitely not be enough.
However, with Shengbang Group's global influence and the invitation in the name of Paradise Farm in Hunter's Valley, it was definitely not a problem for them to complete all the procedures for Xia Ruofei in three days.
Xia Ruofei didn't refuse. He was most afraid of these cumbersome procedures. He naturally couldn't ask Tang He's people to help him run errands.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you." Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"It's just a small matter!" Tang He laughed and said, "Little Xia, it's a deal. Three days later, I'll fly to Huaxia first, and then you'll take a private jet with me to Australia!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be stunned. The straight-line distance from the United States to Australia and Huaxia was about the same, but one was in the Southern Hemisphere and the other was in the Northern Hemisphere. If Tang He went to Huaxia first and then went to Australia together, it would be equivalent to taking a big detour.
"This old man is too polite to me …" Xia Ruofei said in his heart.
"Mr. Tang, I don't think it's so troublesome." Xia Ruofei declined. "You can fly directly to Australia. It's also very convenient for me to take a civil flight here."
"How can that be?" Tang He said, "Anyway, it's my plane. It's just a few more hours of flight. You're my guest! I can't neglect you! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Old man, I'm not a guest! Don't forget that I also have shares in the farm, and I'm a major shareholder! "
Tang He was slightly stunned, and then he immediately laughed.
Xia Ruofei then said, "Mr. Tang, I'm really not being polite to you. Your time is precious, and there's no need to waste it on flying. Just do as I say! You can fly directly to Australia from the United States, and I'll take a flight from Huaxia! I'll book the ticket first in a while! "
Tang He saw that Xia Ruofei was firm, so he didn't insist. According to Xia Ruofei's plan, he could stay in the United States for more than half a day to deal with the complicated official business.
So Tang He said, "Okay! I'll do as you say! But when you come back from the United States, you can't refuse my private plane! "
"It's a deal!" Xia Ruofei laughed.
Tang He then said, "Xiao Xia, you don't have to worry about booking the ticket. I'll let Zhou Qing do it."
"Okay! Then we'll see you in Australia! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"See you in Australia!"
After making an appointment with Tang He, Xia Ruofei also went downstairs. As he walked to the staff cafeteria, he sorted out the work in his mind. After all, he had to leave for a few days!
However, Xia Ruofei soon found that since Feng Jing was the general manager, it didn't matter if he was in the farm or not. He really didn't think that there was any work that needed him to do.
After arriving at the cafeteria, Xia Ruofei told Feng Jing that he was going to the farm in Australia for a few days. Feng Jing wasn't surprised or embarrassed. In her opinion, the farm in Australia was Xia Ruofei's most valuable property. It was normal for Xia Ruofei to go there often for business trips.
For a professional manager, whether the chairman was in office or not didn't affect much.
Except for the construction plan of the new land, which had to be approved by Xia Ruofei, Feng Jing could carry out the other work on her own. She didn't need Xia Ruofei to stay behind.
The construction plan was actually not urgent. Even if Xia Ruofei wasn't in office and couldn't be finalized, it wouldn't delay much.
After eating, Xia Ruofei called Ling Qingxue again and told her that he was going abroad for a few days.
Although Ling Qingxue was a little reluctant, she knew that Xia Ruofei was going out for work, not to fool around. So, she just reminded him to take care of himself and pay attention to his safety.
Early the next morning, Zhou Qing personally came to Taoyuan Farm and took away Xia Ruofei's identity information. He went to go abroad and book a ticket.
The next day, Lei Hu represented Xia Ruofei at the Public Security Bureau's award ceremony. Everything went smoothly. Under Chen Bo's strict orders, the Public Security Bureau didn't make any additional requests. Lei Hu, in disguise, was really like a mascot. At the award ceremony, he received the prize money personally given by Chen Bo — an enlarged symbolic check. Then, he was photographed by the media with Chen Bo. He didn't say a word during the whole process.
The Public Security Bureau was also very efficient. On the same day, the 150,000 yuan prize money was transferred to the personal account provided by Xia Ruofei.
In the next few days, Xia Ruofei also seized all the time and concentrated on practicing the rune carving. Only the day before he went abroad, he went on a date with Ling Qingxue.
Since they were about to part, the two were naturally a little reluctant to part. Xia Ruofei also worked harder in bed, making Ling Qingxue moan and beg for mercy.
The next day, Ling Qingxue reluctantly went back to work in the company. Xia Ruofei closed the door and continued to practice the rune carving. There was only one direct flight from Sanshan to Australia every day, and it took off at 9: 30 in the evening. Therefore, Xia Ruofei still had a whole day, and he naturally didn't want to waste it.
Now, the practice of drawing individual runes had entered the final stage. Only the most complicated and difficult rune had yet to be mastered.
Xia Ruofei locked himself in the villa for a whole day. In the evening, he finally felt that he had completely mastered the rune carving of the 17 runes.
However, he didn't rush to officially start the rune carving on the top-grade mutton-fat white jade.
After all, after three days of practice, his spiritual power had been in a semi-dispirited state, and he had consumed a lot of energy. He had to ensure that he was in the best state before he started the carving, so as not to waste this precious material.
He packed up his things and went to the staff cafeteria for dinner.
At 8: 00 in the evening, Zhou Qing personally drove a Mercedes-Benz commercial car to Taoyuan Farm. Xia Ruofei dragged his simple luggage into Zhou Qing's car.
He had already handed over the work that he needed to do. He didn't say goodbye to anyone and directly left the farm.
The Mercedes-Benz commercial car sped in the direction of the airport.
Xia Ruofei sat in the car and closed his eyes to rest. He couldn't help but look forward to this trip to Australia.
Although the farm wasn't wholly owned by him, it was his first overseas business after all.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei was also concerned about one thing, and that was whether Liang Qichao really went to work at Fairyland Farm as he wished.
He didn't ask Tang He over the phone, nor did he try to contact Liang Qichao. Anyway, all the answers would be revealed during this trip to Australia.
Taoyuan Farm and Sanshan Airport were both located in Changping County. The car arrived at the airport in about half an hour.
