Chapter 886: Chapter 886: 886: Meeting Jiang Xiaoyan

Several off-road vehicles were cruising leisurely on the road.

The nearby cement roads had already been laid out.

If there are sufficient materials and manpower, the process can be very fast.

Laying one hundred kilometers only took a few days.

And the cost was not high.

Liu Dahai kept explaining the recent achievements to Jiang Xu by his side.

“Boss, we have already built two residential areas, both simply furnished, and they are livable now, but the greening is not yet complete.”

“Additionally, we have started extensive deployment of photovoltaic energy, and for now, the electricity supply is sufficient.”

“But if we increase construction efforts, we will have to use some oil as a substitute.”

“Then we also invited people from Ju Factory to install communication equipment.”

“Moreover, the land designated for growing food has all been plowed, and we have already fertilized it for the first time.”

“After a few more manual fertilizations, in about half a year, we can greatly improve the originally barren land.”

“Finally, the excavation of the canal connecting to the sea is progressing slowly, only at one percent completion.”

Jiang Xu listened quietly.

The overall progress was faster than Jiang Xu had imagined.

The final task, excavating a canal connecting to the sea, was the most crucial.

Although Agricultural Country was located by the sea, the freshwater resources had always been scarce.

One reason was the prevailing winds blew northward all year round, so the rainfall was not significant.

The other reason was the lengthy sunshine duration and sparse vegetation in this area, making it hard to retain rainwater.

Therefore, it was necessary to dig canals and then bring in several sets of water purification equipment.

Then, planting enough plants to retain the water was the next step.

In a few years, this barren land could become fertile.

Eventually, Jiang Xu arrived at the site of the canal excavation.

More than ten excavators were vigorously digging.

The excavated soil would be transported back to build houses, ensuring nothing was wasted.

“So far, how much of the budget have we used?” Jiang Xu asked.

Liu Dahai: “A total of 2.8 billion.”

Jiang Xu was astonished, “That’s all we’ve used?”

Liu Dahai grinned, “Is that a lot, boss? I’ve been very tight on the finances, not wasting a single cent.”

Liu Dahai knew this clearly.

The importance of what Jiang Xu was doing was significant.

If successful, he would be the top contributor.

His future status and position would see a leap forward.

Even his descendants would enjoy endless glory and wealth.

Therefore, he could not afford to make any mistakes.

Everything had to be perfect; he absolutely wouldn’t let Jiang Xu find a single fault.

Then, they came to a few rudimentary camps.

Currently, there were a total of three hundred people in this unit.

However, the weapons they were equipped with were high-end products.@@novelbin@@

Jiang Xu was already communicating with a seller in Bear Country.

He was preparing to buy several warships and fighter jets.

It was just that the price had not been agreed upon yet.

The other party started by asking for one billion.

This was clearly a maximum of five hundred million worth of equipment, yet the seller had jacked up the price enormously.

If it really couldn’t work out, Jiang Xu would have to look for another seller.

Finally, they arrived at the armory.

It was an underground facility.

Inside, there were plenty of cutting-edge weapons and some tanks.

Given the surrounding environment, having these assets was more than sufficient; they could handle five times their number without a problem.

But if Agricultural Country became wealthy and rich in the future, and attracted some powerful attention, this bit of strength would not be enough.

So, it was definite that they needed to equip air, sea, and land forces completely.

There was still plenty of time for Jiang Xu to sneakily develop.

After a general tour, Jiang Xu was very satisfied.

He said some encouraging words and painted a grand vision for Liu Dahai before preparing to leave.

He planned to check on Jiang Xiaoyan next door.

“Oh right,” Jiang Xu suddenly recalled something and said to Liu Dahai, “The employees are working quite hard, why don’t you take a trip to Luo Country.”

“Find some clean and healthy entertainers to bring back for everyone’s enjoyment, all expenses will be reimbursed.”

Liu Dahai’s eyes lit up, “Okay, I’ll thank the boss on everyone’s behalf.”

Jiang Xu drove away.

Liu Dahai watched the direction in which Jiang Xu left for a long time, unwilling to move his gaze away.

He couldn’t help but sigh to himself, the boss was really too good.

Working under such a boss, everyone would be willing to work for a hundred years.

Jiang Xu made a phone call to Jiang Xiaoyan.

Otherwise, with guards on the border, Jiang Xu wouldn’t have been able to cross.

“Ahhhh!!! What did you say?!!!”

Jiang Xu inevitably moved the phone far away from his ear.

After waiting a while, the shrieking from Jiang Xiaoyan on the other end of the phone gradually subsided.

Jiang Xu was speechless, “Is that much excitement really necessary?”

Jiang Xiaoyan said, “You stand still, I’m coming over to pick you up right now, dare to move and I’ll kill you!”

After speaking, she hurriedly hung up the phone.

Jiang Xu chuckled resignedly.

He could just imagine that at this very moment Jiang Xiaoyan must be hurriedly and frantically getting into her car and rushing over here.

It was indeed as Jiang Xu had guessed.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoyan immediately changed her normally calm demeanor in front of her subordinates:

“Quick, quick, quick, prepare a car for me, to the southern border!”

“Hurry up, don’t delay my good fortune!”

In the car.

Jiang Xiaoyan nervously took out her makeup kit and urgently touched up her makeup.

While applying, she complained:

“That damn Jiang Xu, not even a prior notice of his visit.”

“Ah, I don’t even have enough time now, my skin is so dark.”

“Wuwuwu, my hair quality has also become dry recently.”

“I look a bit unkempt, how am I supposed to meet anyone like this?”

Though she said this, the smile on Jiang Xiaoyan’s face just couldn’t be suppressed.

Her mind was full of wild thoughts like “Brother Xu came to visit me”, “Brother Xu cares about me”, “I’m going to date”, “What should our children’s names be”, “Where should they study”, “When will I get to hold my grandchildren”, and so on.

The female driver, upon seeing her boss’s expression, felt it quite magical.

In front of others, Jiang Xiaoyan maintained a strong presence and was quick and serious in her conduct.

But who knew that she could also be such a hopeless romantic.

The driver even began to imagine a stormy battle breaking out tonight.

Getting excited, she accidentally pressed the accelerator too deeply.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoyan was completely immersed in her own world and didn’t notice.

After finishing her makeup, Jiang Xiaoyan applied some whitening cream on both of her arms.

There were spare clothes in the car, which she quickly changed into.

The car was equipped with privacy glass, so it was impossible to see inside from the outside.

Moreover, having left the central area, there were no people outside, only desolation.

Over two hours later, Jiang Xiaoyan arrived at the border.

As she got out of the car, she saw Jiang Xu not far away.

Her eyes reddened, and she nearly broke into tears.
