Xiang Kun's prediction was correct; his mother asked him that question because she wanted to arrange a blind date for him...
"Remember when I called you last time, about Aunt Qiu's niece? She just came back last week, saying she'd quit her job and was planning to rest for a while. Since you're free this afternoon, I'll arrange for you to meet up and chat. If things go well, you can go out for dinner and do some shopping together tonight. Maybe she'll move to your city to look for work soon, which would be a good opportunity to get to know her better..."
Xiang Kun's mind instantly conjured up a dozen or so excuses to refuse, but after a quick weighing of the options, he came to a conclusion:
Unless he tells his mother that he has secretly found a girlfriend, no matter what excuse he uses, there will be more trouble later and he will only upset his mother.
If he were to fabricate lies to cover it up, the consequences would be even more dire.
The best solution is still to listen to your mother, go on blind dates obediently, and then just say "no feeling," "no fate," or "we don't get along."
While Xiang Kun was having dinner with his parents, Liu Caifu, the deputy director of Chongyun Village, was also having dinner with You Meng at the Youlong Restaurant in Tongshi Town.
The shop was still nearly empty, so You Meng didn't stay in the kitchen; he just handed the work over to his nephew.
Seeing Director Liu hang up the phone, You Meng hurriedly asked, "So, what did Xiang Kun say?"
Liu Caifu shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiang said he needs to think about it and make a long-term plan, but that probably means he's refusing. He might not be coming to our Chongyun Village."
You Meng said in surprise, "That's not right. I can tell he's quite satisfied with that land. Even if he doesn't use it for a farm, he would still find a way to acquire it for other purposes."
Liu Caifu said, "Mr. Xiang means that he is not well prepared right now, so he doesn't want to involve too many people and funds. He probably wants to try it out himself first, find a starting point, and further refine the plan before thinking about attracting investment. I was a bit too hasty. Now Mr. Xiang seems to regret telling me so much yesterday, which was tantamount to revealing his future plans and visions to us in advance. And these forward-thinking ideas are bound to be out of touch with the current reality."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, "If it were anyone else, upon hearing that someone was willing to help by contributing money and effort to find connections, they wouldn't immediately refuse, even if they didn't agree right away. Mr. Xiang is worried that we might suffer losses if we invest rashly. He's truly someone who genuinely wants to do something! Meng, you have to help me keep Mr. Xiang's project here, in our Chongyun Village."
You Meng nodded. "Don't worry, I will definitely help, but it mainly depends on Xiang Kun's own thoughts."
Liu Caifu also heard that Xiang Kun had given You Meng team advice on how to promote their shop using the internet and new media, and that they should specialize in rabbit meat. So he told them that if they encountered any problems with funding or other aspects, they could also contact him, as he, Liu Caifu, still had some connections in Tongshi Town.
"I'm not just helping your family. If Mr. Xiang and your ideas can really come true, it will not only improve your shop's business, but it could even revitalize the entire commercial street, start a trend of rabbit meat cuisine in Tongshi Town, and create more food shops. This will also promote commercial rabbit farming, boost tourism, and develop other related industries. Our country has been emphasizing industrial upgrading and vigorously developing the tertiary sector. If your attempt succeeds, it will be a great example."
You Meng was a little confused. He and Xiang Kun were just thinking of using cooking videos and articles from influential bloggers to promote their restaurant. How did it escalate to something like industrial upgrading?
However, he then thought of the Xiang Kun had mentioned last night, and combined with what Liu Caifu had just said, he was able to figure out some of the details.
If their actions pose no risks, using this opportunity to promote the food, scenery, and culture of Tongshi Town would certainly be welcomed and even encouraged by the town and the city. While they may not be able to provide direct assistance, releasing favorable policies or organizing official events at appropriate times could have a significant impact.
After lunch, Liu Caifu left the "Youlong Restaurant".
Although almost all of his proposals were rejected after he contacted Xiang Kun today, he was not discouraged.
After listening to Xiang Kun's vision yesterday afternoon and thinking about it all night, he felt that this matter was truly promising, and once successful, he would definitely become a great contributor to Chongyun Village and even Tongshi Town!
He felt full of energy, as if he had become twenty years younger, as if he had returned to the age of seventeen, when he had just left the village with his father to make a living elsewhere.
Inside the "Youlong Restaurant," Liang Yulong, who had been staying behind the cashier but had been eavesdropping on her husband's conversation with Liu Caifu not far away, went to her husband's side after Director Liu left and asked curiously, "What was that 'artificial intelligence rabbit' you were talking about? Is Xiang Kun going to get a robotic rabbit? The kind that can run and jump on its own? To keep as a pet?"
You Meng shook his head and said, "Of course not, it's automated farming that combines artificial intelligence and the internet. Simply put... it's farming using artificial intelligence, understand?"
"Oh..." Liang Yulong's mind conjured up an image of a huge steel-framed animal farm, with robots whose eyes glowed with a faint red light, feeding rabbits. She exclaimed in awe, "Your childhood friend is really amazing. He knows how to make viral videos and he's also good at artificial intelligence. Do you think he'll end up like Jack Ma and create a trillion-dollar listed company?"
"You're overthinking it! Right now, we haven't even gotten to the point of writing anything, let alone finding the ink and paper! If Director Liu wants to do this, let him contact Xiang Kun. We'll put in a good word for him if needed. Our focus should be on filming the video. Have you found a shop to make the clothes?" When he wasn't affected by "Emotional Assimilation," You Meng's mind was still quite clear.
At the same time, Mr. Feng, who had just finished lunch, went for a walk in a nearby park and played with the cat for a while before returning home. There, he looked at the Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Wooden Carving on a display shelf in the living room.
He had always kept the wooden carving in his study, but after having that strange dream last night, he took it out and put it in the living room as soon as he woke up this morning.
He wasn't a superstitious person, but the strange dream he had last night— the Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Monster dressed in a white coat, holding medical records and looking like a doctor—was really too eerie.
In his dream, he didn't find anything strange about the eight-armed, eight-eyed "doctor." It seemed perfectly normal for him to be there. He was mainly filled with fear and anxiety about his deteriorating health and the worry that he would die before he could see his loved ones one last time.
But after waking up, he had a very deep impression of the Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Monster. Its head and body covered in fleshy tumors and its obviously exaggerated and somewhat ferocious shape gave him a sense of evil and terror. Moreover, the image in his mind was too clear.
Even now, as he's out for a walk after lunch, the image of that eight-armed, eight-eyed "doctor" solemnly examining medical records in the ward keeps popping into his head.
However, upon picking up the wood carving again and looking at the slightly anime-style image, Mr. Feng felt that he was probably being too sensitive. It was probably just a nightmare he had by chance, and he had just been looking at the wood carving a lot these past few days, so the image that appeared had nothing to do with the wood carving itself.
Of course, he didn't intend to put the wooden carving back in the study; he would just place it in the living room. Although the Eight-Armed Eight-Eyed Monster in his dream was quite different from the wooden carving, he still felt a little uneasy when he saw it now.
