The two set off from Liuhe Village, first traveling along the highway to Shangshan Village, then officially entering the mountains.

Jiang Miaoyan was once a city person, having grown up in the city and had almost never seen the great mountains.

As she followed Chen Yang into the mountains, gazing at the dense shrubs, towering ancient trees, and the endless forests, she was truly surprised.

"What a huge mountain; there must have been a lot of wild beasts back in the day," Jiang Miaoyan couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang, who was walking in front, laughed.

Not only were there many wild beasts back then, but there are still many today.

Just not as many as before.

Afraid of scaring Jiang Miaoyan, Chen Yang didn't say this; he merely nodded slightly and said, "Yes, indeed, there were many beasts in the past."

"Are there still any now, Boss Chen?" Jiang Miaoyan asked immediately upon hearing this.

Chen Yang initially didn't want to say, but since she asked, he naturally needed to tell her.

After all, she'll be working here for quite a long time in the future, and she won't be going to the mountains infrequently, so it's better to tell her some of the real situations so she can be cautious.

"There are still some now, but you don't have to worry too much; there are far fewer than before, and generally, the beasts don't attack people," Chen Yang said.

Chen Yang's words were quite tactful already.

But Jiang Miaoyan still couldn't help but change her expression upon hearing it.

She was clearly frightened.

"There are wild beasts... isn't that very unsafe?" Jiang Miaoyan nervously looked around.

Chen Yang smiled, "It's very safe, don't you worry."

Jiang Miaoyan felt a bit uneasy, but seeing Chen Yang reassuring her like this, she couldn't say much more.

She could only nod and then silently follow Chen Yang as they continued up the mountain.

This water rafting project has been decided upon for some time.

So the general route has been planned out, and a simple path has been cleared.

A route that has been artificially paved is very obvious in this dense mountain forest.

Thus, Chen Yang led Jiang Miaoyan along the path that the workers had cleared.

If following the normal route and speed, it would take at least one or two hours, or even longer, to reach the reservoir in the mountains.

But by taking the path cleared by the workers, Chen Yang and Jiang Miaoyan took only an hour and twenty minutes to walk from the mountain's base to near the reservoir.

The area near the reservoir is currently the main focus of construction.

So there are many large machines and over a hundred workers working here.

Some are building roads, and some are chopping wood.

There are also some people surveying the reservoir, preparing to build a wild fishing spot along the reservoir's edge according to Chen Yang's plan.

"Wow! What a beautiful lake," Jiang Miaoyan exclaimed as she followed Chen Yang to the lakeside construction site, immediately noticing the lake nestled in the deep mountains.

The vast lake surface and verdant green mountains.

This atmosphere is very pleasant.

"The lake is beautiful, but it could be even more beautiful; your job is to plan how to make the lake more beautiful," Chen Yang said with a smile from the side.

Jiang Miaoyan only realized upon hearing Chen Yang's words that she actually had work to do here and wasn't just here to enjoy the scenery.

"Haha, thank you, Boss Chen, for bringing me up here. I'll get to work now, and you can keep busy with your stuff," Jiang Miaoyan said with a smile, expressing her gratitude to Chen Yang, and then hurried off with her briefcase to communicate with the workers.

Since Jiang Miaoyan had work to do, Chen Yang naturally wouldn't disturb her.

So he walked alone around the construction site and the lakeside.

Actually, Chen Yang had his own purpose for accompanying Jiang Miaoyan up here.

He wanted to see how the water rafting project was progressing.

Seeing that the workers' initial preparation work was completed and that the next step was to build the water channel with cement, he was in a good mood.

Because the project's progress was really quite fast.

Once the initial preparations are done, building the water channel with cement is an easy task, isn't it?

"Li Han is really efficient,"

Seeing the project's progress, Chen Yang couldn't help but praise Li Han in his heart.

Then he turned away from the water channel construction site and went to check the progress of the wild fishing spot.

The wild fishing spot is to be built by the lakeside.

Currently, they've just chopped down some trees to create a platform.

The specific construction hasn't officially started yet.

From afar, Chen Yang saw only a few foremen, along with some people in suits who looked like technical team members, busy discussing something.

Intrigued, Chen Yang walked over and chatted with them.

These people naturally recognized Chen Yang, so they were eager to answer his questions.

Through his conversation with them, Chen Yang learned the specifics of this project.

It turns out the project location is decided, but the design plan remains undecided.

Some advocate for a traditional style along the riverbank, which aligns with the scenic ambiance here.

Others feel that the traditional style is costly and may not stand out, so they prefer a modern style, keeping it simple.

The back-and-forth arguments have kept the site as an empty plot, preventing the start of formal construction.

"Boss Chen, would you take a look at the design plans and decide which one to use?" After the topic was discussed, a young man from the design team suddenly suggested.

Those around, upon hearing this, also laughed and agreed, wanting Chen Yang to give some advice.

"Sure, let me have a look," Chen Yang replied with interest, deciding to help them take a look.

What kind of two design plans could have caused such a lengthy debate without a firm decision?

"Alright."

The young man nodded happily, then turned to his bag to retrieve two design plans.

He first handed the modern design plan to Chen Yang, saying, "Boss Chen, this is the modern style, known for its easy construction, low cost, and generally broad acceptance."

While handing the design plan to Chen Yang, the young man also explained the advantages of this design.

Chen Yang took the design plan and examined it closely.

He also listened carefully to the young man's explanation.

After a thorough understanding, Chen Yang found this modern design quite good.

However, he did not make a direct decision; instead, after understanding the situation, he immediately asked the young man to show him the traditional design.

"Alright, Boss Chen," the young man responded enthusiastically and handed Chen Yang the already-prepared design plan.

Looking at the modern design, Chen Yang was somewhat impressed but not very impressed.

Since such structures are common in life, the sense of novelty is diminished.

But this traditional design was something Chen Yang seldom saw.

As soon as he received it, he was immediately dazzled.

The classical pavilions, raised platforms, and facilities are all designed according to the highest traditional standards.

The tall pavilions combined with a lake create an instant charm.

"This design is excellent!"

While internally amazed, Chen Yang couldn't help but verbally praise, stating that this traditional design was truly stunning.
