Back in the village, Chen Yang immediately showed the photos he took on the mountain to Li Han, Wu Kexin, and Yang Ruoxi.

The moment the three women saw the photos, they were stunned by the breathtaking scenery of the reservoir.

They hadn't expected such a reservoir lake deep in the mountains.

"The water area of this reservoir is quite large, more than enough for a water drifting project. Additionally, we can consider setting up a wild fishing venue around the lake's perimeter, which would make it more attractive," Chen Yang suggested with a smile.

Wu Kexin and Li Han were still immersed in the beautiful scenery and completely ignored Chen Yang.

After several minutes of admiring all the pictures, Li Han finally responded to Chen Yang.

"What you said makes sense, but I'll need to discuss it with the technical team since it's additional investment. If the expenses are too high, there might be funding issues," Li Han replied.

Wu Kexin nodded in agreement: "Yes, although we've raised a fair amount of money, to completely finish the project and add this water drifting and wild fishing site, we might still be short on funds."

Chen Yang had also considered the funding issue.

For such a large project in the village, fifty billion is indeed somewhat insufficient.

Not to mention, with the increased workload, at least another ten billion would be required.

"As for the funding issue, I'll find a way. If we can really start the project, let's go with it," Chen Yang said.

After speaking, Chen Yang turned to Wu Kexin and asked: "Kexin, how much do we have left in the account now?"

The village's finances were managed by Wu Kexin, and Chen Yang rarely inquired about them.

"There's twenty billion left, but recently I contacted a company for large machinery, which will be a significant expense. By then, there won't be much left in the account," Wu Kexin replied.

Wu Kexin was very clear about the finances.

She had everything planned out, so when Chen Yang asked about the finances, she was straightforward and unhesitant.

Chen Yang nodded slightly upon hearing this and said nothing more.

The three of them then chatted briefly at the village office, and Chen Yang asked Li Han to be responsible for assessments and design.

He would take care of the funding issue.

After Li Han agreed, Chen Yang didn't linger in the village office and left.

On his way back, Chen Yang was already thinking about where the subsequent investments would come from.

He originally envisioned that with such vigorous construction in the village, investors would already be impatient.

However, these past few days, only the Jin Family had invested.

Although the Jin Family invested a lot, there was still a gap to complete the project.

"I should take the opportunity tonight to meet with Sister Gao Ya and see what Gu Xuanyu has been up to lately."

Chen Yang shook his head, stopping his train of thought.

Around ten in the evening, the village became utterly quiet, and he took out his phone to message Gao Ya.

He asked if she was available to meet now.

Gao Ya was almost instantaneous in her reply.

She informed Chen Yang that he could come to the office right away.

Receiving this message, Chen Yang didn't delay, smiling as he put away his phone, and carefully headed out to the Gu Family building.

Lately, Chen Yang hadn't paid much attention to the Gu Family building.

However, he occasionally noticed that the Gu Family building was not quiet.

There was a constant flow of people, but he wasn't sure what they were up to.

Chen Yang quickly made his way near the Gu Family building after leaving his house.

He observed cautiously, ensuring no one was around, then seized the opportunity to enter the building and swiftly made his way up the stairs to Gao Ya's office door.

The door was ajar, with a small gap.

Seeing this, Chen Yang didn't enter directly or knock.

Instead, he peeked through the gap to see inside.

Once ensuring Gao Ya was alone and working inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

He locked the door behind him.

Hearing the noise at the door, Gao Ya, who was focused on her work, looked up at Chen Yang.

"Have a seat; I just have a bit more to finish," Gao Ya said with a smile, looking at Chen Yang.

"Alright."

Chen Yang also smiled mildly, then naturally sat on the sofa.

After about ten minutes, Gao Ya finished her tasks and joined him.

"Here for Gu Xuanyu, right," Gao Ya began as soon as she sat beside him.

Chen Yang chuckled, "Sis, you guessed it right."

"Haha, at this point, besides this matter, what else would bring you to me?" Gao Ya laughed.

Seeing that Gao Ya was aware, Chen Yang didn't beat around the bush and explained his purpose directly.

He came to inquire about what Gu Xuanyu was busy with lately.

With the village's project advancing so vigorously, how could he stay put?

After listening to Chen Yang's account, Gao Ya's smile grew brighter.

"What you see is only the surface; in reality, these days, Gu Xuanyu can hardly sit still," Gao Ya said with a laugh.

"Oh? How come there's no sign of any action from him," Chen Yang was curious and asked.

"I'm not sure, but recently, people from the Murong Family have come to see him several times, so he should be taking some action," Gao Ya replied.

Hearing this, Chen Yang pondered briefly, then asked, "So, what do you think they will do?"

"I estimate that within these couple of days, they might reach out to negotiate with you again. Other than that, I don't see any other actions," Gao Ya said after a brief thought.

"It can't be that simple," Chen Yang was somewhat skeptical of Gao Ya's prediction.

Because he knew that Gu Xuanyu was not one to easily concede and would go to great lengths to achieve his goals.

Why would he come to negotiate with him simply?

Gao Ya understood Chen Yang's concerns and explained, "Since you have enough funds, apart from negotiating earnestly with you, there's not much else he can do, so in my view, negotiation is the only way."

Gao Ya's reasoning did make sense.

But Chen Yang still felt things wouldn't be that straightforward.

"By the way, Yang Zi, what's the current situation with the village project? Are the funds sufficient?" Gao Ya shifted the topic away from Gu Xuanyu and asked about Chen Yang's current situation.

It had been a while since they last caught up.

Even though she saw the village's construction progressing rapidly, with the original village drastically transformed, she wasn't aware of Chen Yang's actual situation.

"Sis, for now, the funds are sufficient, but to complete everything, we still need at least ten billion more, which is why I came to see you today," Chen Yang didn't hide anything from Gao Ya and shared the true situation.

In fact, Gao Ya had already had a hunch that Chen Yang was there about funding.

Realizing this was indeed the case, she paused for a moment and then said: "Ten billion isn't much, but it's not little either. If there's no suitable investor, I suggest you consider looking into the county or city for solutions."

"Find solutions in the city? What do you mean?" Chen Yang was puzzled by Gao Ya's suggestion.

"For a project as large as Liuhua Village, it should reasonably receive some policy support from the county or city levels. Even if they can't provide direct funding, they can give you opportunities to secure bank loans. Since you've already invested so much in the earlier stages, establishing some relationships and securing policy support from the city should allow you to loan ten billion without much issue," Gao Ya analyzed calmly and advised Chen Yang.
