CHAPTER 1133: CHAPTER 1129: TAKING OVER EVERYTHING

Upon seeing it, Chen Yang immediately brought over Dai Annie and the workers.

"Make way! Boss Chen is here, Boss Chen is here."

The center was surrounded by workers, making it impenetrable.

Upon hearing that Chen Yang had arrived, they finally made a path, allowing Chen Yang and Dai Annie to walk in.

Once inside, the two immediately saw a large pit excavated by a digger.

Inside the pit, there were many snakes that had been severed by the digger, along with a lot of bloodstains.

The scene looked very eerie, as if they had actually dug into a snake pit.

Dai Annie just took a quick glance and was so frightened that she hid behind Chen Yang, not daring to look into the pit anymore.

"Chen Yang, what do you think of this?"

At this time, Wu Kexin arrived next to Chen Yang along with the engineering manager, asking for Chen Yang’s opinion on the matter.

Chen Yang took a look at Wu Kexin, and said calmly, "It’s probably just a coincidence, just some snakes, it doesn’t signify anything. Clean it up, and continue with the construction."

Chen Yang has always been skeptical of any talk about bad omens.

It was just a few snakes dug up, would that mean stopping the entire project? That would be too ignorant.

Wu Kexin shared the same sentiment as Chen Yang, not believing in such things.

"Manager, I also think this is just a coincidence. If the digger operator is insistent on not continuing, then find a bolder operator." Wu Kexin turned to the manager and said.

The manager had a forehead full of cold sweat, his expression somewhat unnatural.

He seemed to believe that this was an ominous sign.

However, in this matter, he still had to listen to Chen Yang and Wu Kexin.

So he could only nod in agreement, steeling himself for it.

"Alright... I’ll arrange it."

The manager swallowed his saliva, then turned around to arrange for the digger operator.

Chen Yang and Wu Kexin remained where they were.

Hearing the workers around chattering and gossiping, Chen Yang couldn’t help but speak up, "What era is this, and you still believe in this? It’s just a few snakes, what’s there to be afraid of? A group of grown men, and you don’t even have this bit of courage?"

As soon as Chen Yang spoke, the site became quiet in an instant, and no one spoke anymore.

However, from their facial expressions, it was still evident that they were scared, they just weren’t gossiping anymore.

"Everyone relax, it’s just a coincidence. Who doesn’t encounter something on a construction site? Everyone back to their posts, nothing will happen." Chen Yang continued.

"Yes, everyone, what era is this, and you still believe in this nonsense? There’s nothing to it, just get back to work." Wu Kexin also spoke up, comforting the workers.

With both Wu Kexin and Chen Yang speaking up, it indeed had some effect.

The workers’ fear was somewhat alleviated, and they all turned around and left the pit, returning to their respective positions.

After the crowd dispersed, the manager found another digger operator to continue digging.

This operator was mentally prepared for it.

After all, those working on sites have heard various rumors.

Tales about digging up an ancient tomb or ancient corpse are told in a mysterious manner.

Even if some didn’t believe it, hearing it often still made them somewhat nervous.

The digger operator cautiously covered the snakes’ broken bodies with soil when digging, before excavating the whole pit.

After all the operations, that eerie scene disappeared, all dug away.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yang was relieved.

The schedule for the school project is tight, and delays due to such matters would be troublesome.

"Manager, make sure to have some guards at night to prevent any mishaps." Seeing the construction ongoing, Chen Yang turned and told the manager.

The manager wasn’t as tense as before.

"Yes, yes, I will, Boss Chen."

The manager nodded.

"Alright, I’ll head off now, contact me anytime if something comes up. Site superstitions are unreliable; no need to be so tense!" Chen Yang patted the manager’s shoulder, then left with Dai Annie and Wu Kexin.

After leaving the site, Wu Kexin suddenly asked Chen Yang what he really thought of what just happened.

Hearing this, Chen Yang stopped, saying, "Either it was a coincidence, or it was man-made. I don’t believe in ghosts or gods. I’ve stayed in the village for so many years and never heard of any ghosts or gods; it’s just self-deception."

Wu Kexin nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Indeed, either someone is pretending to be gods or ghosts, or it’s just a coincidence."

"Yes, I’ve asked the manager to leave more people on-site at night; there should be no problems." Chen Yang also nodded, then followed Wu Kexin to the village office.

At the village office, Chen Yang asked Wu Kexin to take out the files recording the village’s situation.

He reviewed them carefully.

He found that almost half of Liuhe Village’s land had been contracted by him.

Things like the greenhouse and pharmaceutical factory occupied large areas of the village land.

However, this wasn’t a bad thing, rather a good one.

Liuhe Village had always relied on farming over generations.

What prospects are there in farming? It barely fills the stomach.

To become wealthy, farming isn’t enough, the economy must be developed, setting up factories and doing business.

This way, not only does one become wealthy, the village follows suit. When the village infrastructure is improved, Liuhe Village would undergo a complete transformation, a big renovation, a big change.

"Kexin, does everyone in the village, young or old, have a job arranged?" Chen Yang turned his head, asking Wu Kexin who was chatting with Dai Annie on the sofa.

The two were gossiping when they heard Chen Yang’s question, Wu Kexin turned and nodded, "Yes, yes, everyone in the village, as long as they can work and want to work, I’ve basically arranged for them. Why, is there an issue?"

"No problem."

Chen Yang waved his hand, then said, "Since everyone in the village has a job, isn’t there no one to cultivate the farmland?"

"How about this, help me out. All the idle land in the village, anyone willing to lease it to me, I’ll take it all."

Wu Kexin was momentarily stunned hearing Chen Yang’s words, not understanding what Chen Yang intended to do.

Is there another big move?

"What do you want so much farmland for, are you expanding the greenhouse again?" Wu Kexin asked, surprised.

"No." Chen Yang shook his head, "I just think it’s better to lease early than leave it idle. Anyway, it will be needed eventually, so might as well bundle it together."

After speaking, Chen Yang thought for a bit and added, "By the way, lease all the mountain forests as well. If money is needed, just let me know."

Hearing that farmland alone wasn’t enough, even mountain forests were to be contracted, Wu Kexin was even more puzzled.

But she didn’t ask further, just nodded in agreement, saying she’d help out when available.

"Alright, when money is needed, come to me."

Chen Yang smiled and put down the files.

Then he went out for a walk alone.

Dai Annie found it uninteresting, so she didn’t follow, staying in the village office with Wu Kexin.
