Chapter 1022: Chapter 1018: Striving for Strength

"Li Han, I feel the same way!" Chen Yang agreed with Li Han’s speculation, then immediately reminded her, "If this is really Gu Xuanyu’s doing, Li Han, you must be extra careful during this period."

"Even though I’ve given you new medicinal food, Gu Xuanyu definitely won’t give up so easily, he might resort to some tricks."

Having dealt with the Gu Family for so long, Chen Yang had some understanding of their tactics.

"Hmm, I’ll be more careful, you also need to take care, after all, their ultimate target is still you." Li Han said.

After speaking, Li Han immediately pulled out her phone and called Yang Tiancheng.

To remind him to pay more attention to the medicinal food recently, in case the Gu Family uses any tricks.

Yang Tiancheng was also at the Gu Family banquet today and witnessed the conflict between Chen Yang and the Gu Family.

So when he received Li Han’s call, he nodded and agreed without asking much, indicating that he would focus on it during this time.

After the call ended, the car returned to silence.

Chen Yang drove on the highway for more than three hours before returning to the county.

Seeing the car safely exit the highway, both Li Han and Yang Ruoxi sighed in relief.

"Haha, finally back! It feels much more comfortable to be on our own turf!" Yang Ruoxi excitedly opened the car window to feel the breeze.

It was around five o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun hadn’t completely set, creating a fiery cloud scene that was exceptionally beautiful.

Returning to the familiar county, looking at the sunset, Chen Yang’s mood also improved significantly.

When he was in the provincial city, although he had confidence in his abilities, being on the Gu Family’s territory kept him in a state of vigilance.

Now that he was back in the familiar county, his defenses naturally went down.

That kind of relaxed feeling was really quite nice.

"I’m too tired today, otherwise with such good weather, we could have gone for a walk together." Chen Yang slowed down the car and drove towards Lin Tianxia.

Hearing this, although Yang Ruoxi was interested, she also realized she was indeed tired, so she nodded, "Hehe, we can plan for it next time, after all, we have plenty of time."

"Makes sense."

Chen Yang smiled slightly and said no more.

After returning to Lin Tianxia, he didn’t choose to go to Li Han’s office for a chat but directly switched to his van in the garage and returned to Liuhe Village.

He was really feeling a bit fatigued these past two days.

He just wanted to go back and rest early, without any other thoughts.

When he returned to the county, it was a little past five in the afternoon, and it was already dark by the time he got back to Liuhe Village.

Looking at the lights in the village homes, Chen Yang suddenly had a lot of feelings.

These past days, although fulfilling, in general, he hadn’t been very focused.

Otherwise, the village’s development speed would definitely be more than this.

"I need to focus more on the village and earn more money because that’s key! Although everyone’s lives have greatly improved, there’s still a long way to go until they reach true prosperity!"

Sitting in the car, looking at the peaceful Liuhe Village, Chen Yang thought to himself.

Recalling when he first returned from the provincial city, he was determined to bring a transformational change to the village!

Now that he had the ability, it was only right to strive towards this direction.

And this time, returning from the Gu Family, Chen Yang also realized a very realistic truth.

That is, he was still very far from the level of the Gu Family.

Although on the surface, every time he had a conflict with the Gu Family, they didn’t gain anything, in reality, the huge entity of the Gu Family was not something he could shake with his current abilities!

And now, even though his wild mushrooms and medicinal food generated hundreds of thousands of income daily,

what can these earnings count for in front of the vast Gu Family?

To become truly strong, he must continue to strive!

Only by continuing to develop and leading Liuhe Village to become a tremendous entity, can he be considered truly powerful!

Only when he is truly strong can he protect the things he wants to protect and uphold the principles he wants to uphold!

...

Chen Yang lay in the car for a long while.

Quietly pondering many questions by himself.

It wasn’t until past nine o’clock at night that he clearly thought through those questions and got out of the car.

"I need to aim for bigger goals, can’t just settle for small wealth and comfort."

Chen Yang reflected on his problems and resolved to adjust his mindset.

The huge income during this period made him forget to advance!

Fortunately, he introspected in time and decided to change!

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

After waking up in the morning and dealing with chores around the house, Chen Yang immediately went to visit the wild mushroom greenhouse.

Early in the morning, Aunt Wang and the other aunts were already busy in the greenhouse.

Wang Hong, being the closest to Chen Yang, and secondly, her skills in picking wild mushrooms and her efficiency in communicating with people, naturally became the core of the wild mushroom picking team.

The other aunts would almost invariably seek her out whenever they encountered any issues.

Wang Hong, bustling about, clearly presented the demeanor of a small leader.

Seeing this from the door, Chen Yang couldn’t help but think.

There should indeed be an opportunity to officially assign Wang Hong a title, so she can rightfully command the overall situation.

"Aunt Wang, are you all busy?"

After contemplating a bit, Chen Yang smiled and spoke.

Wang Hong looked over to the door, seeing Chen Yang standing there, she walked over in surprise, "Yang Zi, you’re back! When did you return? Did the business go smoothly? Had no issues, right?"

When Chen Yang left, he didn’t explain the reason to Wang Hong, so she assumed he went out for business.

Not wanting to elaborate, Chen Yang nodded in agreement with her assumption, "It went fairly well, I came back last night, and this morning I wanted to talk to you, so I came over."

"Looking for me? What’s the matter?" Wang Hong asked immediately upon hearing there was something.

Glancing into the temperature-controlled room, Chen Yang turned and said, "Let’s talk outside."

Saying this, he walked out first.

Wang Hong was initially puzzled but then followed without thinking much.

They stopped in the space between the two temperature-controlled rooms.

"Chen Yang, what’s so mysterious that you couldn’t say it inside the temperature-controlled room, afraid someone might hear?" Wang Hong teased.

Chen Yang chuckled, "Not afraid of being overheard, just didn’t think it appropriate to discuss serious matters in front of so many aunts."

"Alright, then just say what you have to, I’m quite busy." Wang Hong replied.

"Okay."

Chen Yang nodded and began to speak seriously.

"Aunt, actually, there’s not much, just want to promote you and simultaneously give you a raise."

Just a moment ago, Wang Hong had no particular expression, but upon hearing about a pay raise, her face immediately lit up with a smile.

She was quite thrilled.

"What? You’re giving me a raise? Yang Zi, you’re not joking, are you?"

Wang Hong was both pleased and surprised, genuinely not expecting Chen Yang to reach out to her for this reason.

"Aunt Wang, when have I ever joked about this sort of thing?" Chen Yang laughed.

"So you’re really giving me a raise!" Wang Hong beamed with joy, feeling somewhat elated.

She indulged in her delight for a moment and then suddenly remembered another thing Chen Yang had said.
