The falcon brother's talons have become even more powerful.

They left two very deep claw marks on the tree.

"These body-strengthening elixirs I've been taking haven't been in vain. If this were a real fight, it would probably result in severe injuries if not death," Chen Yang chuckled and shook his head. Without giving it much thought, he returned home with the falcon brother.

After preparing the ingredients, Chen Yang naturally started making dinner once he got home.

He spent about an hour preparing.

A lavish dinner was ready.

Once the dishes were on the table and drinks prepared, Chen Yang called the four ladies, who were playing outside with Wangcai and Hei Yun, to come in.

Hungry, the four girls quickly came in to sit down when they heard it was time to eat.

"Haha, it's been a while since we've had such a delightful meal together," said Yang Ruoxi at the table, who was still the happiest and most excited.

This girl really loves lively occasions.

"Yeah, it's just a shame that Annie and Qingyue aren't here; it would be even livelier," Wu Kexin added with a smile.

"They're both busy right now. Let's invite them to get together when our village project is up and running," Chen Yang replied with a smile, while also opening drinks and pouring a glass for everyone.

Boom.

Just as they were about to start eating, the outside sky, which was pitch black, was suddenly illuminated by lightning.

The sudden clap of thunder startled the four girls.

"Why is it suddenly thundering?" Wang Jingman patted her anxious chest, saying nervously.

Chen Yang was also taken aback by the sudden thunder, then laughed and said, "That's how the weather is, but it's actually perfect. With it raining outside, it makes having hot pot even cozier. Let's start eating before it all gets cold."

Chen Yang made a joking remark, instantly easing the atmosphere.

The four girls chatted and joked, ignoring the thunder outside.

After a while, the sound of thunder was followed by a gentle, drizzling rain.

It was rather pleasant to have hot pot inside while it rained outside.

During the meal with the four girls, Chen Yang brought up the water project again.

Chen Yang genuinely wanted to make this happen in Liuhe Village.

It wasn't just about making money; there was another reason. The old man at Yunlong Temple had mentioned when reading feng shui.

The feng shui of Liuhe Village was said to be in a grand layout of 'Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl.'

The only issue was there wasn't enough water. Bringing in a water source would complete the village's feng shui.

Starting a water park project suits that, doesn't it?

Chen Yang didn't believe in feng shui, but adding it on wouldn't hurt.

That's why he was so focused on this.

While Wu Kexin and Li Han weren't as invested, they still supported Chen Yang.

It was definitely possible to include it in the park.

But the tricky part about this was finding a water source.

The village of Lushan they visited relies on a mountain reservoir and natural flow which saves a lot on costs.

The rear mountain of Liuhe Village had everything but lacked a large reservoir, so fixing this meant solving the water source issue first.

Wu Kexin, Li Han, and Wang Jingman brought this up to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang thought about it and agreed.

However, he didn't believe the problem was unsolvable.

While there's no large water source in the rear mountain of Liuhe Village, Chen Yang seemed to remember there being a large reservoir in the mountains behind Shangshan Village.

Though it's a bit far, constructing a waterway to divert the water seemed feasible.

"I'll figure out the water source. I remember there being a big reservoir behind Shangshan Village," Chen Yang said.

"Alright, go check it out. If it works, I'll gather some manpower for it later," Li Han nodded in agreement.

"Okay."

With Chen Yang's agreement, the topic wasn't discussed further.

They turned to chatting, gossiping, and joking instead.

The meal was enjoyed by all.

It stretched on until past nine in the evening before they stopped.

After dinner, Wang Jingman initially wanted to head back.

But it was still raining heavily, making it inconvenient to travel back to the county at this hour.

Even though driving was an option, it wasn't safe.

So with the persuasion of Yang Ruoxi, Wu Kexin, and Li Han, Wang Jingman agreed to stay over for the night.

With Wang Jingman staying, the fun naturally continued.

The five of them partied at Chen Yang's place, enjoying their evening.

They played cards, drank, chatted, and gossiped happily.

The merriment continued until the early hours when they finally stopped.

Afterward, Chen Yang was promptly kicked out of his room.

Chen Yang was naturally reluctant to leave, but with Yang Ruoxi, Li Han, and Wu Kexin being so firm, he had no choice but to find a place to sleep alone.

The next morning when they awoke, they had breakfast together at Chen Yang's home.

They then went their separate ways.

Yang Ruoxi, Li Han, and Wu Kexin went to the office for a meeting.

Given the village's ongoing conditions, Li Han and Wu Kexin almost had to hold a meeting every day to keep up-to-date and adjust the construction progress.

The village's construction responsibility was given to Li Han and Wu Kexin, so Chen Yang didn't need to participate, leaving it all to them.

With Li Han and Wu Kexin going to the meeting, Chen Yang drove and took Wang Jingman back to the county.

"Jingman, the investment needs to be expedited. It's best to start in the next couple of days. You've seen the speed of the village's development; it won't be long before it's ready for opening," Chen Yang reminded Wang Jingman with a smile while driving.

Wang Jingman nodded with a smile, "I know. Once I get to the county today, I'll contact my father and try to ensure we officially enter in the next few days."

"Yes, that's for the best," Chen Yang agreed, and then remained silent.

After a little over ten minutes, they arrived in the county.

He dropped Wang Jingman off at the hotel.

"Chen Yang, I'll be off for now. I'll call you when the investment rolls in," Wang Jingman told Chen Yang.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for your call."

"Yes, see you," Wang Jingman nodded with a smile, then opened the door and got out.

After seeing off Wang Jingman, Chen Yang didn't head straight back to Liuhe Village. Instead, he took some time to visit Yang Caiyun.

For the past month or two, Chen Yang had been busy with the construction matters in Liuhe Village and hadn't met with Wang Caiyun in a long time.

He hadn't even had time to check out how Wang Caiyun's newly opened River Fish Restaurant was doing.

Now that he had some time, Chen Yang drove over to Yang Caiyun's new River Fish Restaurant.

Chen Yang hadn't been to the new restaurant since it opened, but he did visit once during renovations, so he knew where it was located.

So when he decided to go, he didn't inform Wang Caiyun, hoping to surprise her.

But unexpectedly, when he arrived at the restaurant, he found it wasn't open yet.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to take out his phone and call Yang Caiyun.
