The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1246

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246
Lin Yifan’s old house was bustling with people.
With the excavator, hook machine, and manual demolition, it didn’t take long for the three dilapidated tile-roofed houses to be razed to the ground.
Xizhu stood on the ruins, fanning the dust with his hand.
"Folks, you know that I’ve just taken on the job of the Red Earth Town Tunnel. Although it’s not much, it’s enough to keep everyone busy for a year and a half. I promise that as long as you work hard, there will always be work, but today’s job is for my good brother’s family. I’m telling you upfront, if anyone tries to be lazy or play tricks, I’ll really get upset."
With his hands on his hips, Xizhu looked heroic.
Especially after hearing he got the Red Earth Town Tunnel project, everyone instantly saw him as high-status.
"Brother Xizhu, rest assured, if I slack off just a little, let my wife sleep with everyone!"
"You old messenger boy, where’s your wife? Anyway, Brother Xizhu, don’t worry. Your brother is our brother!"
"We guarantee that before the snow falls, we’ll definitely get it up. By New Year, your brother will be living in a new house!"
The carpenters and bricklayers around were all local experts from nearby villages.
There were also many migrant workers, a total of about twenty or thirty people.
With some ruckus, even without a design blueprint, the entire old house was cleared.
Next, cement, sand, stones, and bricks started to be hauled in truckloads.
"Brother Xizhu is indeed considerate, making money without forgetting Brother Yifan."
Xiao Cui, holding an incense burner, happily watched the bustling construction site.
"Silly girl, is your mind in your behind? Xizhu made money, but that project over there hasn’t even started. He ran back to demolish Yifan’s house. Don’t you think something’s up here?"
Xu Fengxian, holding two porcelain bowls, pondered as she walked.
"Sis, I’m simple-minded. You have to tell me more in the future, what’s going on here?"
Xiao Cui looked at Xu Fengxian in confusion.
She’s only nineteen, she doesn’t have much experience.
"According to me, Yifan definitely has something to do with this project. If it weren’t for him, Xizhu wouldn’t have gotten the project, which is why he’s in such a rush to build him a new house."
Xu Fengxian carefully placed the porcelain bowls on the medicine cabinet and then took the incense burner and placed it properly.
Brushing off the incense ashes from her hands, she respectfully lit an incense stick and inserted it into the burner.
"Wasn’t it said that project belonged to Boss Li in the County? Could Brother Yifan know someone of such importance?"
Xiao Cui asked in surprise.
"He’s been running to the County a lot lately, probably because of this. Your beloved is a very skilled doctor. No matter how big they are, everyone has to eat and drink. Eating grains leads to illness, naturally, they’ll seek his help."
As expected with a sharp mind, Xu Fengxian quickly figured out the gist of the situation.
Listening made Xiao Cui’s cheeks flush with admiration in her eyes.
"Sis, I don’t want to go back to Provincial City to study. I just want to stay in the village. Can you help me think of something?"
Xiao Cui pitifully tugged on Xu Fengxian’s arm, acting spoiled.
"That won’t work. He’s right. At your age, you should go out and see the world. Don’t end up like me with little experience."
Xu Fengxian sighed, feeling she may never get out now.
"Most people in relationships want to keep their partner close, but he’s different. He wants to send me away, not even afraid I might run off with someone else. Even if he’s not afraid... I’m afraid he’ll run off and leave me."
Xiao Cui pouted.
"That’s because he’s confident and excellent. Don’t worry, he’s not the type to forget favors. As long as we follow the plan and secure the home, he really can’t fly away."
Xu Fengxian whispered in Xiao Cui’s ear.
Their secret chat from yesterday remained known only to them.
"Alright, it’s getting late. You should go home and eat, wait until he comes back tonight to talk."
Seeing Xiao Cui’s flushed face, Xu Fengxian smiled.
"I’m not going back. Early this morning, Old Li shamelessly went to my house, even suggesting a marriage proposal for his son. My dad is too embarrassed to kick him out."
Xiao Cui huffed, pulling a stool to sit nearby.
"Old Li’s son, his name is... Li Quanfa, right? That kid was just a hooligan before, then went out to work, never heard from again for years. Why suddenly remember to come back and propose to you?"
Xu Fengxian wondered, rubbing her chin.
"Who knows what he’s thinking, doesn’t even look in the mirror, shameless."
Xiao Cui spat angrily.
"Being pursued at a young age is a good thing. Back when I was your age, matchmakers wore down the threshold of my home. Unfortunately, choosing in the end, I picked a short-lived guy, making me a widow for years. The past is unbearable to recall, but at least now it’s a blessing in disguise."
Leaning against the counter, Xu Fengxian smiled sweetly.
While they chatted, the sound of an engine roared from a distance.
Thinking it was Lin Yifan returning, they quickly ran outside.
Only to see a BMW SUV parked in the drying yard.
"Who’s this?"
Xu Fengxian frowned, looking at the luxury car in front of her.
Xiao Cui stood beside her, curiously craning her neck.
"This car with the big nostrils looks better than Lin Yifan’s car."
"Do you even know cars? This is a BMW X5, cost seventy or eighty thousand."
"Could Lin Yifan have gotten a new car again?"
"Maybe, new house and new car. Where’s he getting all this money from?"
"Did he earn it the right way?"
Sitting around and chatting, the villagers curiously gathered.
For Lin Yifan’s sudden wealth, they had many speculations.
But as the car door opened, a man no more than about 5’6", wearing sunglasses, jumped out.
With a buzz cut, dressed in a suit, and a bag under his arm.
The shining leather shoes were spotless.
Seeing a stranger, nobody spoke.
Instead, he took off his glasses, revealing small triangular eyes.
"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Song, still so spry?"
His enthusiastic greeting, mixed with barely authentic Northeastern accent.
Baffled everyone even more as they looked at him.
Suddenly, Aunt Song clapped her leg: "Aren’t you Old Li’s son, Tie Dan?"
"What Tie Dan, that’s a long time ago. I’m now called Li Hao, here’s my business card."
Li Hao laughed, taking business cards from his bag and handing them out.
"Hengtong International Business Trade Co., Ltd. Chairman and General Manager? He must be a big boss then, huh?"
Aunt Song squinted, looking at the gold-edged business card.
"Just a small business, doing some import and export trade, earning small money, not a boss, not a boss."
Li Hao chuckled, straightening his back with a smile.
When his small rodent eyes spotted Xu Fengxian and Xiao Cui standing at the clinic door, his eyes lit up.
