The Shen family: ???!!!
Shen Yao looked puzzled, "Didn't I tell you?"
The entire Shen family shook their heads like rattles, "When did you ever tell us!"
"Oh, then perhaps I forgot." After speaking, Shen Yao continued, "Mo Xuan has a half-human, half-demon bloodline in the cultivation world, commonly known as..."
"Human-demon!" Shen Huaisang immediately interrupted before Shen Yao could finish.
Human-demon Mo Xuan: Thanks, I'm hurt, smiling.jpg.
Shen Yao glared at Shen Huaisang and said, "Perhaps it's because of Mo Xuan's bloodline, he can only transform into a snake during the day and becomes human at 6 PM."
The Shen family: How magical.
However, as magical as it was, Father Shen felt he couldn't accept it now. He thought accepting a grandson as old as his daughter was already his limit; accepting a half-snake, half-human grandson, he feared his heart wouldn't be able to bear it.
Mo Xuan: So your affection for me, Lingshan Wei, is this superficial?
The meal ended with everyone in a mix of emotions.
After the meal, Shen Yao took Father Shen out.
The 80 mu of land they had contracted yesterday had finally been cleared, and the large plowing machines had already deep-plowed the land.
Today, the greenhouse materials ordered by the Shen family had arrived.
This was in the south, where greenhouses were almost unnecessary, so Shen Yao's grand undertaking had shocked everyone in the surrounding villages.
One large truck after another, carrying materials, entered the village. Over a dozen large trucks filled the open space in the field that Shen Yao had specifically cleared to store the materials.
Shen Yao had mentioned these materials in a group chat, and then Xia Chao asked his father to arrange them.
Xia Chao's father was the boss of a major building materials company in the capital, and he could procure anything needed for greenhouses.
Shen Yao heard this and asked Xia Chao for help. Xia Chao agreed without hesitation, and Shen Yao's order was no small business.
The materials needed for 80 mu of land were not a small sum, although Shen Yao hadn't actually turned all 80 mu into greenhouses.
Just for these greenhouse materials, Shen Yao spent several million, and she was only able to get them through Xia Chao's father's connections.
Although Cousin Shen had said the county would help, Shen Yao couldn't wait that long to get so much at once.
"Hello, you must be Miss Shen." A man in a suit and tie walked over.
Shen Yao extended her hand and shook his, "Hello, I'm Shen Yao, you must be Manager Lin. Thank you for your trouble."
Lin Zhijie was a manager at Xia Chao's father's company. Since Xia Chao had brought this business to Shen Yao, Father Xia had assigned Lin Zhijie to be in charge.
Shen Yao had spoken to this Manager Lin on the phone before, so they were acquainted.
"Miss Shen, the materials you ordered have been delivered, and the installation workers have arrived. May I ask what kind of greenhouses you plan to build?" Manager Lin asked.
Shen Yao had already taken out the design drawings she had prepared, "I wonder if the greenhouses can be made into a whole, with a passageway in the middle..."
Shen Yao explained her ideas one by one. Manager Lin diligently took notes on every point Shen Yao made.
Manager Lin closed his notebook and said, "Okay, Miss Shen, I've noted your requirements. Our installation workers will build them according to your requests."
After understanding Shen Yao's requirements, Manager Lin instructed the workers to unload everything.
Of course, the people Shen Yao had invited to help also assisted with unloading.
Manager Lin had brought everything, even materials for prefabricated houses.
Thus, Shen Yao witnessed what a true construction powerhouse looked like.
In just one afternoon, an entire two-story prefabricated building was completed, and it even came with a kitchen.
"Manager Lin, your work is truly skilled," Shen Yao praised sincerely.
"Of course. Competition is fierce now, and everyone pursues efficiency. It's all honed through practice," Manager Lin replied.
These workers were specially trained by their construction company, so they provided a one-stop service for material installation. It was because of this that their company had secured a foothold in the capital and grown strong.
Shen Yao planned to turn half of the 80 mu of land into glass greenhouses, which was also a massive project.
Current glass greenhouses are equipped with solar panels, eliminating the need for manual temperature control like before. Ventilation and light could be controlled directly by computer.
There was also a fully automated irrigation system that automatically detected water sufficiency and could independently determine if irrigation was needed.
Shen Yao was attracted to this aspect, which was why she spared no expense in spending millions on these greenhouses. Most importantly, after the greenhouses were built, all future maintenance and management could be handled by them.
It was rumored that this entire system was imported from abroad and had not yet been officially used in China. Shen Yao was the first to use this technology.
Because of this, Father Xia paid special attention to the greenhouses at the Shen family's home.
Shen Yao had already planned the use of the greenhouses. In the south, greenhouses were often used for growing strawberries or for seedling cultivation. Therefore, in addition to reserving 5 mu for seedling greenhouses, Shen Yao specifically set aside three mu for growing strawberries.
The rest would be used to grow various fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers, corn, beans, choy sum, and tomatoes...
For these seeds, she again contacted her senior from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and specifically asked him to find more types of seeds.
The senior, having benefited from Shen Yao's purchase of saplings, had become a favorite at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Upon learning that she needed other seeds, he was even more inclined to give Shen Yao the newly cultivated seeds.
"I'll bring you the seeds you need next month, and I'll take a look at those saplings and give you some suggestions," the senior said.
Shen Yao gladly agreed to this unexpected bonus, "Okay, please call me when Senior arrives, and I'll pick you up."
The Shen family's greenhouses were being built in an orderly fashion. When the county leaders heard that the greenhouses being built at the Shen family's home were newly imported from abroad, they sent an uncountable number of leaders to learn and observe.
Every day, they visited more frequently than Shen Yao, the owner.
Each time, they would be accompanied by Father Shen and his family. Today it was Father Shen and Shen Huaisang, tomorrow it would be Father Shen and Shen Huaimin, or Father Shen and Shen Yao.
The county leaders treated Shen Yao's greenhouses as more important than anything, wishing they could live on the land twenty-four hours a day.
What Shen Yao didn't know was that the county leaders had also reported this matter upwards.
They received strong support from higher-level leaders, and soon, higher-ups would be coming to the countryside for observation.
Shen Yao was unaware of all this because, at this moment, she was anxiously sitting in the hospital waiting room, awaiting her test results.
