Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

He frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:
"Uncle, this..."

Lin Haotian seemed to have anticipated Chen Chen's reaction, and with a faint smile on his face, he said directly, "That's right, this is the development plan for Chenjia Village."

Upon hearing the name Chenjia Village, Lin Muxi's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

"What plan does Chenjia Village have?"

Lin Haotian glanced at her: "What, you've become interested as soon as you heard about Chenjia Village?"

Qin Yao, smiling broadly, spoke up:
"Uncle, you don't know this, but when we were in Chenjia Village this time, we had a heated discussion about how to develop that place."

"I really didn't expect you to have even prepared a letter of intent."

Upon hearing this, Lin Haotian's previously calm expression shifted, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes as he said with interest:
"Oh? That's quite interesting. Tell me, what were your plans back then?"

Qin Yao briefly explained their previous ideas in Chenjia Village to Lin Haotian:
"It's about comprehensively developing Chenjia Village and turning it into a comprehensive project that integrates ecotourism and distinctive agricultural experiences."

Qin Yao hadn't read the letter of intent. If she had, she would have found that what she said was almost identical to what was written in the letter of intent.

After hearing this, Lin Haotian's eyes flashed with approval. After a moment's thought, he said:

"Since you have such ideas and intentions regarding the development of Chenjia Village, then this project will be entrusted to you for handling."

Chen Chen was taken aback at first, then a hesitant expression appeared on his face:
"Uncle, are you really going to leave this to us? But we don't have any practical experience."

Lin Haotian smiled and waved his hand:
"Experience is accumulated gradually. Since you have ideas, I believe you have the potential to do them well. Moreover, the company will arrange a professional team to provide you with the necessary support and guidance."

Lin Muxi moved closer to her father and said with great interest:
"Dad, don't worry, we will do our best!"

She turned to look at Qin Yao, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Qin Yao showed the same expression.

Although she is about to go abroad, it doesn't stop her from wishing Lin Muxi and Chen Chen happiness.

Chen Chen frowned slightly and said with some worry:
"Although we have ideas, this is a big project after all, involving many aspects, such as funding, planning, and manpower..."

Lin Haotian nodded:
"Don't worry about funding; the company will provide start-up capital and necessary support. As for the plan, you can discuss and refine it with the professional team."

Regarding human resources, please feel free to mention any needs you may have, and the company will try its best to coordinate.

Chen Chen took a deep breath, his eyes hardening:
"Uncle, you trust us so much, we will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Lin Haotian nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, but let me make this clear from the beginning. This project is of great importance. We must not only focus on economic benefits, but also take into account social and ecological benefits."

The villagers of Chenjia Village have lived there for generations; their interests must be protected so that they can truly benefit from the development.

“We understand, Uncle.”

Chen Chen responded earnestly, "We will fully consider the needs of the villagers and make this project a good one that benefits the local area."

During the rest of the trip, the group had a lively discussion about the Chenjia Village development project.

From the initial planning framework to the specific implementation steps, from the potential problems to the corresponding solutions, everyone actively shared their opinions.

The plane landed smoothly on the runway and came to a stop after taxiing for a distance.

The cabin door opened, and Lin Haotian, having many urgent matters to attend to at the company, went ahead and instructed the driver to take him directly to the company.

Chen Chen, Lin Muxi, and Qin Yao stood outside the airport and hailed a Didi (ride-hailing service).

After the car came to a complete stop, the three of them got inside. Lin Muxi asked Chen Chen:

"Should we go home first or to school first?" Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's go home first, and then invite everyone over for a meal."

Qin Yao's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea. I'll send a message to Xiao Li and the others right now."

Chen Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I've already sent it."

Hearing this, Qin Yao pursed her lips slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, before softly saying:

"I'm not going."

Lin Muxi was somewhat surprised and turned to look at Qin Yao.

"Why? It's not easy for everyone to get together, it would be such a disappointment if you didn't join us."

Qin Yao forced a smile.
"Something came up at home and I have to go back to take care of it. Let's get together next time."

Actually, Qin Yao had her own concerns; she didn't want to see Zhou Yuyang for the time being.

Lin Muxi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on.

She looked at Qin Yao, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance, and asked softly:
"Yaoyao, when...are you planning to leave?"

Qin Yao tilted her head slightly, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes, and forced a relaxed smile, saying:
"That's enough for now. I'm really afraid to tell you the time, and if you come to see me off, my heart will soften and I won't want to leave."

Lin Muxi's eyes gradually reddened, and her voice choked with emotion:
"Yao Yao..."

Qin Yao quickly looked away, not daring to look at Lin Muxi's longing gaze.

She looked at Chen Chen, her eyes pleading, and said:

"Senior, please don't tell him that I left."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, understanding that the "he" Qin Yao was referring to was Zhou Yuyang.

He replied softly, "Don't worry, I won't tell."

Lin Muxi sniffed, trying to calm herself down, and said:
"Yaoyao, be careful when you go back, and contact me anytime if anything happens."

Qin Yao hummed in agreement, opened the car door, and got out.

She stood by the roadside, waved to the two people in the car, and called out in a deliberately nonchalant manner:
"You guys go back now, don't worry about me, we'll keep in touch later!"

After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.

Lin Muxi kept staring at Qin Yao's back until the figure disappeared around the corner before turning her gaze away and letting out a soft sigh.

Chen Chen patted Lin Muxi on the shoulder and comforted her:

"Don't worry too much, Qin Yao will handle her own affairs."

Lin Muxi nodded and said, "Yes, I hope Yao Yao can get over this hurdle in her heart soon."

The car continued driving forward and soon arrived at Lin Muxi's home near the school.

The two had barely stepped into the house when Xu Xiaoli and Zhong Jiaqi arrived in a flurry.

"Muxi, we're here!" Xu Xiaoli's clear voice was the first to enter the house.

Just then, Lin Muxi and Chen Chen put down their suitcases. Hearing that familiar voice, they quickly turned around to greet them. (End of Chapter)
