[An extra chapter for Alliance Leader Snoopy, No. 3]
"I'd like some soybean seeds as well," Zhang Han added.
"Sure, boss..."
The middle-aged man's smile grew even wider. He had thought this would be a small customer, but it turned out to be a big one.
The young man before him was not only buying a lot, but was also specifically picking the best seeds. He seemed like the kind of person who enjoyed green, organic food.
He had ordered four kinds of crops in total. Zhang Han planned to plant them all today; any more would be too much to handle.
Besides, no one could become fat by eating a single bite. The territory was vast, and there were many things to plant. It was impossible to finish everything in one day.
After telling the middle-aged man to prepare everything and call him, Zhang Han left.
When he returned to the car, Mengmeng was still sitting in the back seat, holding Zhang Han's phone and watching cartoons.
"Daddy, why did you take so long?" Mengmeng said with a pout.
"I bought some food for us to eat in the future. I was more careful choosing it, so I took a little longer," Zhang Han said with a smile as he got into the driver's seat.
"But it took, it took so long! Mengmeng waited until she wasn't happy anymore," Mengmeng said in her childish voice.
"Then how about Daddy takes you to the beach?" Zhang Han took his phone back and asked with a chuckle.
"The beach? Okay! Let's go play at the beach." No matter where they went, Mengmeng was delighted as long as she was going with Zhang Han.
Mengmeng was three and a half years old. She had never had contact with her father before, nor had she ever spoken with Zhang Han over the phone. Her longing for fatherly love was immense.
Although she had been unhappy and a little aggrieved during the first two days after meeting Zhang Han, after that race, Zhang Han had become a qualified, good father, and Mengmeng had grown even more dependent on him.
If their positions had been reversed, and Zhang Han had raised Mengmeng for several years before the Little Princess suddenly met her mother, she would probably have clung to her mother just as tightly.
After driving for more than twenty minutes, they arrived at New Moon Bay. Once he parked the car, Zhang Han carried Mengmeng onto the beach at New Moon Bay.
New Moon Bay was known as the finest bay in the world. Its beach scenery was exceptionally beautiful, making it one of Hong Kong's signature tourist attractions.
Before heading over, Zhang Han tied Mengmeng's hair into a little braid.
Mengmeng's hair had only just grown past her cheeks, with her bangs above her eyebrows. When they left, Zhang Han had not styled it at all, simply leaving it slightly messy.
At the beach, Zhang Han was worried Mengmeng would get hot, so he casually took a hair tie and pulled all her hair upward into a bunch, securing it in place.
In an instant, he had tied her hair into a messy braid resembling a rooster's comb. Fortunately, Mengmeng was adorable enough to pull off the strange hairstyle. Otherwise, it would have been impossible.
After getting out of the car, Zhang Han bought two swimsuits and rented a sun umbrella and two lounge chairs.
He brought Mengmeng to the beach. There were many people there, more women than men—and even more men. With a casual glance, one could see plenty of men sizing up women in various swimsuits. The few Black men among them were especially eye-catching.
After playing around by the sea for a while, Zhang Han took Mengmeng to rest on the lounge chairs.
"Wow, what an adorable little girl."
Three people arrived at the lounge chair to Mengmeng's left—two women and one man. One of the women was around 170 centimeters tall, with a curvaceous figure, a white bikini, an oval face, and sunglasses. The moment she sat down, she noticed Mengmeng on the right.
Mengmeng's delicate face looked like that of a princess from a fairy tale. She was so pretty that anyone would adore her. Apart from her messy hair, everything about her was perfect.
Unable to resist, the woman smiled and asked:
"Little girl, what's your name?"
"My name is... Zhang Yumeng. Daddy calls me Mengmeng," Mengmeng answered in her childish voice.
"That's such a cute name. How old are you, Mengmeng?" The woman lay down, propping her head up with one hand as she watched Mengmeng from the side.
"I... I'm three years and... and several months old." Mengmeng counted on her little fingers as she spoke.
"Pfft..." The woman burst out laughing.
Even the slightly plump woman beside her and the short-haired man, who was over 160 centimeters tall, chuckled and murmured, "What an adorable child."
The woman in the white bikini chatted with Mengmeng for a few moments, then took a bottle of chilled green tea from the round tray beside her and held it out.
"Mengmeng, let Big Sis give you a drink."
"Thank you, Big Sis." Mengmeng smiled shyly and reached out with her little arm to take it.
At that moment, Zhang Han spoke from the side. "Mengmeng, don't take things from other people."
"Huh?"
At his words, Mengmeng immediately pulled her little hand back and looked at Zhang Han in confusion.
Zhang Han sat up, pulled Mengmeng into his arms, and said, "You can't accept things from other people. Whether it's food, drinks, or anything else, we don't take it. Understand?"
"Why, why not?" Mengmeng asked with puffed cheeks.
Zhang Han thought for a moment before answering, "Think about it. What if the water or food someone gives you is poisoned? Just like in the story of Snow White. What if Mengmeng ate it and passed out? Then wouldn't Daddy be unable to see you anymore?"
"Then Mengmeng won't take things from other people anymore." Mengmeng was startled and pressed herself into Zhang Han's arms as she spoke in her childish voice.
"That's right."
A smile had just appeared at the corner of Zhang Han's mouth when the woman in the white bikini suddenly spoke in an annoyed tone:
"Is that really necessary, mister? The bottle hasn't even been opened. Aren't you being overly paranoid?"
The woman looked to be around twenty-two, while Zhang Han was only twenty-six. The fact that she had directly called him "mister" showed how displeased she was.
"Forget it, Mengqi. You tried to do something nice, and he treated it like donkey liver and lungs. Just ignore him," the slightly plump girl beside her snorted.
"Exactly." The moment the male companion opened his mouth, it was obvious he was effeminate. He twisted his body coquettishly and curled his lips. "Mengqi, you're just too kind. Whether she's thirsty or not has anything to do with you?"
If the man had stayed silent, it might have been fine. But the moment he spoke, Mengmeng, who was already unhappy, heard his strange, sarcastic voice and became thoroughly annoyed.
Without waiting for Zhang Han to prompt her, Mengmeng, nestled in her daddy's arms, angrily said:
"Hmph! Y-you Ants, don't bark in front of my daddy!"
Zhang Han was delighted and gave Mengmeng's little head an encouraging pat.
"Oh?" The effeminate man widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Han indignantly. "Mister, is this how you teach a child? Won't you raise a little demon that way?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Han's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar Hong Kong number, likely the call about delivering the seeds he had bought.
Zhang Han stood up with Mengmeng in his arms. Before leaving, he gave the effeminate man a cool glance and said calmly:
"So what if I raise a little demon? When I, Zhang Han, act, why should I explain myself to you?"
After saying this, Zhang Han ignored the three people staring daggers at one another, turned, and walked away while answering the phone.
"Hello, deliver them to the foot of New Moon Mountain..."
"What kind of person is he?" The effeminate man stared at Zhang Han's back, twisted his body hard, and said, "He's making me furious!"
"Pfft..." The slightly plump girl could not help laughing.
Even the curvaceous woman called Mengqi could not stand his behavior. She looked disgusted as she said, "Can you stop being so obnoxious?"
"Fine! So now all of you are ganging up on me?" The effeminate man widened his eyes.
Zhang Han took Mengmeng to change clothes, then drove to New Moon Mountain.
They reached the foot of the mountain in ten minutes. After waiting another ten minutes, they saw a small truck slowly approaching.
The driver was a man in casual clothes who appeared to be the leader. One person sat in the passenger seat, while three others stood in the open truck bed.
Zhang Han got out with Mengmeng in his arms and waited. Once the truck pulled up, the people aboard climbed down one after another.
"Boss, should we unload here? Where are you planning to plant everything?" asked the pockmarked man in casual clothes.
"Up on the mountain," Zhang Han said flatly.
"Pfft... Cough, cough..." The pockmarked man suddenly choked on his own saliva. After recovering, he asked in surprise, "Sir, you're planning to plant crops on the mountain?"
"Mm." Zhang Han nodded lightly.
"Then we'll carry the seedlings and seeds up for you." The pockmarked man smiled bitterly and waved for the others to bring everything along. Together, they headed up New Moon Mountain.
"Boss, this mountain might not be suitable for planting these things." The pockmarked man shook his head slightly.
"Everything can grow here." Zhang Han carried Mengmeng, who was slowly drinking a bottle of Nutritional Express, and spoke without turning around.
The corners of the man's mouth twitched twice. He secretly shook his head, figuring that this boss would have to hit a wall before he gave up. Then he asked curiously, "Boss, why are you planting on this mountain? Isn't this public land?"
"I leased New Moon Mountain," Zhang Han replied indifferently.
The pockmarked man's expression froze, and even the pimples on his face seemed to tremble.
"All right, a boss is a boss. Impressive." The man shook his head slightly. When he reached the edge of the forest, he glanced around. "Huh? The trees on this mountain are so straight, and even the leaves are greener than elsewhere. Maybe it really is suitable for planting."
"The forest is a little dense, but this path is fairly spacious."
Before long, Zhang Han led everyone through the forest. Their view suddenly opened up, making them feel broad-chested and clear-minded.
New Moon Mountain looked far more beautiful during the day than at night. Because of the limited visibility, the brilliant green lawns, the flowers blooming in a riot of colors, the tree-leaf houses, and the clear ponds could not be seen clearly at night. Most eye-catching of all was the enormous Thunder Sun Tree, which resembled a giant mushroom!
The pockmarked man and the others entered, looking like country bumpkins entering the Grand View Garden.
"Wow!" The pockmarked man sniffed the air and exclaimed, "The air here smells so fresh!"
"Damn, this grass is incredibly beautiful. It's so neat! What kind of grass is this? Why are its leaves so green?"
"My God, are those roses? They're too, too perfect! What kind of flower is that? The color is so pure! Could all the flowers I saw before have been fake?"
"Holy crap, what kind of tree is that? I've never seen anything like it. It looks like the World Tree from World of Warcraft. My God, this is unbelievable!"
"Oh, heavens! What kind of monster is that? Help!"
The pockmarked man suddenly saw Xiao Hei charging over. His face turned deathly pale, and he hid behind Zhang Han, trembling violently.
