Chapter 140

Shi Wen, "Thank you, Brother Zhu."

"Why are you being so polite? It's only right that I pay for your things," Zhu Ji said with a hint of smugness. "Money is a small matter; I even managed to secure two mountain strongholds for you."

Shi Wen didn't understand at first. "What mountain?"

Zhu Ji: "Those two mountains north of your ranch. Aren't they just lying barren now?"

Zhu Ji: "I noticed that your ranch has more and more small animals, and the area doesn't seem to be enough, so I applied for those two hills for you to be incorporated into your ranch. Once the paperwork is completed, the area of your ranch should double."

Shi Wen was stunned. "You're so thoughtful!"

Zhu Ji smiled and said, "You've achieved quite a bit of success now, so you probably wouldn't care much for money. I've thought about it, and this is the only way I can help you."

Shi Wen sincerely said, "You have helped me a lot. In the early stages of my business, I had such a big funding gap, and more than half of it was thanks to the assistance from the Abnormal Affairs Bureau."

Zhu Ji: "That's only right, otherwise what would be the point of having our Abnormal Affairs Bureau?"

Shi Wen expressed her gratitude to Zhu Ji for helping her apply for the two mountains, Zhu Ji was also proud of his idea of applying for the mountains.

Judging from Shi Wen's expression, Zhu Ji knew that the idea of applying for more forest land for Shi Wen's family ranch would definitely please Shi Wen.

Zhu Ji then introduced the two mountains to Shi Wen.

These two mountains were originally state-owned forests, but were later contracted out to villagers who also planted fruit trees there.

In those years, fruit trees weren't very profitable, and the contract fees weren't cheap, so the villagers withdrew from the contracts.

Later, the government formulated relevant policies that prohibited these forests from being contracted out to individuals, and vigorously promoted the policy of returning farmland to forest, so the mountains remained barren.

Actually, the conditions on these two mountains are quite good. Terraced fields were once built on them, and the soil is quite fertile.

Shi Wen people want to plant fruit trees or graze livestock on it, which seems like a good option.

Zhu Ji: "Luckily, I acted quickly. I see the locals want to lease these two mountains to someone else. If they were leased to someone else, it would be inconvenient for you since the mountains are so close to your ranch."

Shi Wen, "Yes! It's right next to the ranch; it feels like someone's watching us like a hawk."

Zhu Ji laughed again, "Not anymore."

Shi Wen that two more mountains had appeared on the ranch filled my mind with all sorts of thoughts.

The ranch is so much bigger now, it's so much more convenient to do anything.

If all else fails, he can raise a group of small animals on the mountain, or simply place a few beehives there; either way, he can make use of the mountain.

It must be said that Zhu Ji's gift was exactly what he wanted.

That evening, Shi Wen told Yan Kexing about it, "Brother Zhu really understands my needs."

Yan Kexing: "He's always been a very shrewd and worldly person, but he's usually a bit carefree, so you don't really see it."

"No, not really. You can tell if you look closely." Shi Wen, though usually quiet, was quite perceptive. "Look, Brother Zhu was among the first to apply for membership when we were just starting to organize our membership program. Even earlier, when we confirmed our ability to rescue Hu Zai, he started paying close attention to me."

Yan Kexing: "If he doesn't even have this much insight, he shouldn't be a director."

Shi Wen smiled and said, "I think so too. What kind of person can become your good friend without a simple role?"

Yan Kexing smiled, pinching Shi Wen's nape. "I suspect you're subtly criticizing me, and I have evidence."

Shi Wen leaned back and cried out, "It tickles! Hey, don't touch me!"

Yan Kexing kissed him. "Shall we move to other places?"

That's possible.

Shi Wen reached out and hugged him, eagerly going to meet him.

Such a joyous occasion has just happened; we should do something to celebrate.

Chapter 140

Early that morning, Zhu Ji arrived with his assistant Duan Kuo to sign a contract with Shi Wen, confirming that the two mountains behind the ranch would also be incorporated into his ranch.

The contracts were a thick stack, and they felt quite heavy in my hand.

Shi Wen held it in his hand and carefully read through it line by line, quickly spotting the key points.

The two mountains behind the ranch are unnamed. According to the area calculated by remote sensing satellites, the mountain on the left is 4,863 mu and the mountain on the right is 5,400 mu, which can be considered medium to large mountains.

Shi Wen seeing this area, Shi Wen couldn't help but gently rub the ground against it.

This mountain is so big, I really want to run on it!

With such a large area, it must be a really enjoyable place to run.

He looked at one contract, then handed another to Yan Kexing next to him, asking Yan Kexing to help him look at it.

Zhu Ji and Duan Kuo sat opposite each other.

Duan Kuo's posture and expression were very professional, while Zhu Ji remained calm and composed.

Zhu Ji was indeed a great help this time, Shi Wen remembered this favor.

The main parties involved in this contract signing were actually Shi Wen and the local authorities, and the contract was forty years at a time.

The Abnormal Affairs Bureau, acting as a third party, helped pay the rent in one lump sum.

In fact, the current trend is not to rent out mountain forests to individuals. If it weren't for the Abnormal Affairs Bureau's intervention, Shi Wen might not have been able to rent them out on his own.

After carefully reviewing all the terms and conditions and confirming that there were no problems, Shi Wen Yan Kexing Shi Wen each one.

After Zhu Ji finished signing, he took the contract and said, "Congratulations, your ranch has expanded again."

The contract is signed and will take effect on October 1st, which is only a few days away.

Shi Wen shook hands with Zhu Ji and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhu."

Zhu Ji smiled and said, "It's my duty to serve you."

Zhu Ji and Duan Kuo came here to sign the contract, and they were prepared to help explain the various clauses of the contract.

Unexpectedly, Yan Kexing was extremely familiar with the contract and the local area, rendering their previous preparations useless.

However, the successful signing of the contract is still a cause for celebration.

After the contract was signed, Zhu Ji also had to send it to the other party for signature and filing.
