The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1114: After Being Possessed 24

Li Hai returned to Hai City and immediately started running around to complete the paperwork. In just a couple of days, he managed to establish the company.

The company was not registered under the Da Li name but in the names of Li Hai, Anning, Si Linna, and Xiao Yuan. All four were shareholders, with Anning and Xiao Yuan contributing through their technical expertise, Si Linna investing a portion of funds as well as her labor, and Li Hai being the major investor.

Anning involved Li Hai in this endeavor for a reason.

Firstly, Anning understood Li Hai’s personality. Although he seemed like a playboy, he was a good person with principles, and most importantly, he was financially stable and capable.

Moreover, Anning and Xiao Yuan did not have enough resources at the moment, and networking was an additional task, so it made sense to bring Li Hai on board as a shareholder.

Once Li Hai had set up the company, he swiftly went to Y County to formally sign the contract with the county government.

At the same time, he got the Y County government involved as shareholders, turning the company into a public-private partnership.

Of course, villagers from each village also participated through land investment, allowing them to receive annual dividends.

Initially, many families in the villages were hesitant to sign the contract. They weren’t sure what the Agricultural and Forestry Company was up to and feared the risk of losing their resources, having experienced similar losses in other places before.

Ultimately, it was the Xiao Family who took the lead in signing the contract.

The Xiao Family was a prominent name in Erdaowan. Xiao Yuan’s uncle was the village head. Mr. Xiao convinced the village head and the relatives within the Xiao Family, and once they signed, other families in Erdaowan followed suit.

Si Linna took charge of Fengtai Village, getting the contracts signed swiftly as well.

Then, Mr. Xiao and Mother Xiao took on the task of mobilizing efforts, convincing the villagers through Xiao Family relatives scattered across nearby villages, quickly having all contracts signed.

With the contracts signed, Si Linna began planning for each village.

She invited professors from the Agricultural and Forestry University to conduct field surveys, collecting soil samples from different villages for comparison to determine what should be planted in each village.

Fengtai Village was suitable for vegetables, the mountains for tea leaves, Erdaowan for flowers, some villages for fruit trees, and others for cultivating new varieties.

With functions allocated, Anning had already produced a batch of growth fluid. Si Linna organized construction teams to widen the roads in the villages before purchasing various flower seeds and plant stocks everywhere.

The mountains of Fengtai Village already had some wild tea trees. Anning prepared some nutrient liquid to be applied at the roots for better transplantation.

Si Linna coordinated the transplantation of these trees together for further cultivation.

The growth fluid Anning prepared was particularly potent. The tea trees sprouted new buds in no time after using Growth Fluid No. 2. Si Linna invited skilled craftsmen from the village to collect the new tea and used traditional methods to process the tea leaves.

Meanwhile, Li Hai handled the publicity.

Li Feng hadn’t seen Li Hai at home for quite some time.

Moreover, he heard from his secretary that Li Hai had resigned from his position as the deputy general manager of the Li Corporation, and now he had registered his own company and was renting land in the countryside for something. This made him a bit irritated.

One day, Li Feng came home early and finally caught Li Hai at home.

”Where are you going?”

Li Feng sternly called out to Li Hai, who was about to leave with a package.

Li Hai turned around, saw Li Feng, and immediately walked over with a grin, ”Dad, I’m just going to meet up with a few friends.”

”What’s going on with you?”

Li Feng sat down, motioning for Li Hai to come over.

Li Hai smiled and sat down, ”I’m trying to build my own career. You always said it’s not easy to establish a territory, and that I don’t have your abilities. I just want to show you that I can build a territory of my own and see if it’s true that a hero’s son is a fool.”

Hearing this, Li Feng laughed, ”You? Cooping yourself up in the countryside?”

Li Hai didn’t like hearing that, ”Dad, don’t underestimate the countryside. What’s wrong with the countryside? You can achieve big things there. I’m not bragging, in less than two years, my company will become renowned worldwide, and Y County will be a place everyone desires to visit.”

”Quite ambitious, huh.”

Li Feng wasn’t worried about Li Hai causing trouble since the Li Family had plenty of money. As long as he was doing something proper, it was fine.

”I’m not bragging.”

Li Hai shouted towards the kitchen, ”Aunt Wang, can you come over here for a moment.”

Aunt Wang wiped her hands as she walked over, ”Xiao Hai, did you call me?”

Li Hai took out a box of tea leaves from his bag and handed it to Aunt Wang, ”Please, make some tea for my dad to try.”

Aunt Wang smiled and took it to brew some tea.

In no time, Aunt Wang returned with the teapot and cups.

She poured Li Feng a cup. Li Feng took a sip, and with just one taste, his expression changed to surprise, ”This tea...”

”How is it?”

Li Hai was full of pride, ”This tea was grown by our company and processed by skilled artisans in Fengtai Village. It’s not inferior to those overpriced teas you buy, is it?”

”Far from inferior.”

Li Feng slapped the table, ”This tea is excellent. How did your... Yinong Company find such good tea trees?”

Li Hai smiled, ”It’s not just the tea trees. In the future, everything our company produces will be of this quality. Besides tea, fruits, and vegetables, we also plan to grow flowers, undertake landscape design projects, and provide potted plants and greenery to major companies...”

Li Feng nodded as he listened, ”If you ensure the quality, the company can grow big. Nowadays, the government supports the green industry and offers many favorable policies for rural areas. Your work is not just promising but also earns a good reputation.”

Li Feng then thought of another matter.

”Why did you let Miss Shi be the main shareholder of the company? After all, you invested quite a bit.”

He spoke with a smirk, eyeing Li Hai.

Li Hai knew Li Feng was testing him.

Li Hai chuckled, ”Dad, don’t treat me like a child. I might like to have fun, but I know a thing or two. Our Li Family is already wealthy enough; we can’t monopolize this high-end agricultural industry, which is why I let Sister Shi lead and included the local government in the shares to avoid stepping on any toes.”

”You’ve matured.”

Li Feng patted Li Hai on the shoulder, a look of satisfaction on his face, ”How much of that tea do you have left? Set aside a few boxes for me to give away.”

”Sure thing.”

Li Hai immediately went upstairs, brought down a few boxes of tea, and handed them to Li Feng. He then picked up his bag to leave, ”Dad, I’m going out to have some fun.”

Li Feng waved his hand, ”Go on, go on.”

Anning had been feeling anxious lately, sensing that a significant change was on the horizon, which filled her with urgency.

Anning decided to take a break from her studies.

She went to the school administration to apply for a leave of absence, citing health reasons that required recuperation.

Given Anning’s excellent academic performance, her teachers were reluctant to let her go, but Anning was resolute. Despite their attempts to persuade her, they had to request approval from the authorities to grant her leave of absence.

With the paperwork in order, Anning moved her belongings back to her own apartment, planning to stay in Hai City for a few days before heading to the countryside to find Si Linna.

As she was leaving the campus with a box of her things, Mrs. Yan came looking for her.

Mrs. Yan hurried towards Anning, ”Anning, what’s going on with you? You haven’t come home for so long, and you don’t answer your phone. What exactly do you want?”

Anning stopped and placed the box on the ground, ”Mrs. Yan, I’ve told you before, we have severed ties. From now on, please don’t seek me out again.”

”Nonsense, you think it’s up to you to sever ties?”

Mrs. Yan was furious, ”You’re part of the Yan Family, and that’s known throughout Hai City. You want to sever ties, you...”

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, ”Come home with me. Your father and mother miss you. How long are you going to keep this tantrum going?”

Anning smiled slightly, ”Mrs. Yan, what scheme are you up to now? Let me guess, are you planning to marry me off to someone for the Yan Family’s benefit?”
