Although the words were serious, everyone present could tell that there was no way this girl would be willing to hit Huang Xue.

"Sister Gu, you talk business with Xia Liu. I'll take Xiaoxue outside to look at the stars," Huang Xue said, trying to lighten the mood after the series of events that had just occurred.

"Sister Gu, I'm sorry to have startled you." After the won left, Xia Liu began to apologize to Gu Fangxia.

"Not at all, I should actually thank you, or I would have been really startled," Gu Fangxia waved her hand, emphasizing the word "startled."

Xia Liu was completely baffled. This was outright flirting.

He just couldn't say it out loud.

Dirty minds hear everything as dirty, decent people hear everything as straightforward.

"Sister Gu, do you still want to eat? I cooked this ti, without adding anything extra."

"No, I've already eaten enough. Let's get straight to business," Gu Fangxia said, her face turning a bit pale at the ntion of food.

She dared not take any more risks, especially now that Huang Xue and Zhang Xiaoxue had gone out. Who knows if Xia Liu might add the ingredient from before?

If so, then she would be utterly helpless.

"Alright,Sister Gu, please go ahead."

Gu Fangxia did not imdiately elaborate, but spread out the blueprints she had brought on the table.

This ti, she brought a detailed blueprint and dissected Xia Liu's design.

She annotated each part and paid attention to details, even down to the corners of the floor.

After a brief look, Xia Liu secretly admired her.

This girl really knew her construction work. Her analysis was exactly like what he had in mind.

"Very good, Sister Gu, please give

a quote. How much would each villa cost to build?"

After being satisfied with the design, Xia Liu asked directly.

He did not like to beat around the bush; being straightforward was more comfortable and refreshing.

"Labor and materials will cost three million per villa."

"Three million?"

"Yes, and it's still not too late to back out," Gu Fangxia tightened up inside as she saw Xia Liu hesitate.

Although she said that, she really didn't want Xia Liu to back out, as it was a project that could last half a year or even a year.

Losing such a great opportunity would an she'd have to go out and drum up business again.

"Regret what? I thought you were going to quote five million or even ten million," Xia Liu said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

Gu Fangxia was startled by his response. Could this guy actually be a super-rich boss?

Calling three million cheap for building a villa, truly an odd one.

Just when she saw him hesitate, she was about to drop the price, even if it ant reducing the workers' inco.

But who knew he would agree so readily and act so cool about it?

"Three million per villa doesn't include the cost of paving roads and crane operations."

After a mont's thought, Gu Fangxia ntioned the costs she had initially omitted.

"I'll pay, no matter the amount."

"Boss Xia, do you need an accessory for your leg that can talk?" Gu Fangxia almost knelt down to him.

This was her first ti encountering such a boss, who didn't bargain and even offered to increase the project funds.

Moreover, the most important point was that this boss was so young and handso.

Gu Fangxia firmly believed that if she were just a year or two younger, she would have made a move on Xia Liu tonight for sure!

After so light-hearted banter, Xia Liu spoke seriously, "I have only one request."

"Speed?"

Xia Liu nodded. This girl had been collaborating with him for so long and truly understood his way of doing things, not bad.

Seeing his nod, Gu Fangxia revealed a wry smile, thinking that he really wanted everything done quickly.

But those were fifty villas, even if sped up, it would take three to four months.

This was assuming there were enough workers available.

She had considered that, when the ti ca, she would need to collaborate with several decorating teams, otherwise it would not be quick enough.

"I can only guarantee handing over the houses in four months for now since many natural factors could impede the progress of the work."

"Okay, I trust Sister Gu, I can accept six months. A faster pace is beneficial for you too, but I insist on quality assurance for the project."

"You don't have to worry about the quality, I will not let you down. However, to increase the speed, the money might need to…"

"Don't worry, Sister Gu, no need to add too much money, just keep it on the books, I will settle all the paynts within two months."

"Very well, I trust you."

After finalizing the deal, Gu Fangxia shook hands with Xia Liu very seriously.

Without any ambiguity, after finalizing the deal, Xia Liu transferred fifty million through mobile banking to Gu Fangxia.

This money had only been earned recently, with part of it coming from profits of Beauty Mud, and a part from Longteng and Longyun Hotel after setting aside liquid assets.

The construction and decoration of one villa required three million, and fifty would therefore be one hundred fifty million.

He had provided one third directly, enough sincerity to excite any construction team.

Additionally, Xia Liu stated that whatever the cost was for road construction and forest relocation, he would settle it in full in the end.

Gu Fangxia was truly shocked; she couldn't comprehend how Xia Liu could be so wealthy.

It was almost scary, but those were not her concerns.

Now that she had the project funds, she had too much to attend to.

Contacting the workers, purchasing materials, there was so much to do.

As she was leaving, she told Xia Liu to pick a date himself, whenever he thought it appropriate to start the project.

If the ti was too near and the construction team hadn't arrived yet, they would just hold a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony.

Xia Liu had no specific requirents about auspicious days; with money and guaranteed quality, auspicious days were but illusions.

But unable to resist Gu Fangxia's insistence, Xia Liu did check the calendar, ultimately setting the date for eight days later.

Gu Fangxia left feeling excited and joyful, having enough ti to mobilize workers and machinery.

Huang Xue and Zhang Xiaoxue were very quiet during the following period, fearing that Xia Liu would reprimand them over the drugging incident.

Ti hurried along, and a month had passed; by the end of October, the morning air was slightly chilly.

If it had been before, the villagers would surely have gone diving for oysters by now.

But not now, as the water was very cold in the mornings, posing the risk of catching cold if they went diving.

Once sick, they might be unable to dive for the following few days or even a month.

Therefore, the villagers were very cautious.

They often waited until the sun was high before going down to the sea to dive for oysters.

Although this reduced the daily yield, it ensured good health.

Xia Liu made it clear that they should not dive when the seawater was too cold.

Since the weather turned cooler, the business of both Longyun and Longteng hotels had dropped by half.

Previously, the biggest revenue ca from oysters and Osmanthus Chicken; now, visitors had grown tired of oysters.

The most frequently ordered dish was still Osmanthus Chicken.

Thinking about these things gave Xia Liu a headache; if they couldn't find a good solution soon, the villagers would have to stay idle at ho.

Even if they had made money during the sumr, staying idle at ho would surely douse their spirits.

He had to find a way to ensure a continuous flow of inco for everyone.
