This might cause trouble. He would definitely think Ye Tiancheng had water in his brain, or that he had entered a state of delusion.
When there's no way, everything is a way. So, people's hearts are very clear about this, which is why they didn't explain the problem to him clearly, and could only accept what was currently acceptable.
"Then I'll be going back. Take care of yourself and handle the rest yourself. Because I've been continuously injecting funds, the Hou family is already furious. They've set their sights on the Su family and are likely to attack our Su family in this regard. They now have a pretext.
Actually, this isn't the main problem. The main problem is what Ye Tiancheng worries about most: his industries will be seen as a burden by the Su family. If they don't bring actual income to the Su family, they will definitely start to dislike him. No matter what, he must strive to succeed in this matter, so a new idea formed in his mind, an idea to change everything.
After returning, he must first do his best with the Boya Horticulture Center. He already had an idea in his mind, and as soon as he had this idea, he immediately took action.
"Yo Xi!"
Then she began to plan all of this, and the fundamental basis for planning all of this was to have complete dedication and the ability to orchestrate everything.
His personal strength was too small. If he wanted to achieve all of this, he had to actively mobilize his energy. Therefore, actively mobilizing his energy naturally meant striving to achieve his dreams.
And the basic elements for building these dreams were – expanding production and expanding sales.
After handing over the hotel to the chubby guy, he returned to the village.
The village's industries continued to expand, and labor was insufficient, so he considered machinery.
Because smartphones are very convenient nowadays, as long as you go online, you can find many machinery specialty stores. After searching, he found a very popular machinery sales company: a small crawler agricultural tractor that could also plant seedlings. This company also provided precision drip irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, and all of this could be controlled with just a few computers.
Seeing this, an idea immediately arose in his mind: to carry out modern agricultural reform.
Technology changes destiny, technology changes the future. Of course, he knew this clearly, so he quickly added the machinery sales shop owner on WeChat.
After making an appointment with the other party, he asked them to bring a sample to the village for testing. Soon, the next day, a very good machine was sent over, but there was no technician who could operate it, as their debugging technician was in another location.
"I'm so sorry. If you don't know how to operate it yourself, you'll have to wait until tomorrow or the day after, when we have a technician available to help you with this problem." The person in charge of sales was a beautiful woman named Xiao Xiao.
"My name is Ye Tiancheng, but I want to... drive..."
Because he had never operated such a thing before, the people of Houjia Village thought he was really messing around. Machinery could cause accidents if not operated properly, so everyone looked at him with worry. Seeing this intelligent reaction, Xiao Xiao immediately said, "I believe you shouldn't push yourself too hard. If you cause a major accident, it won't be fun."
Xiao Xiao was very worried that Ye Tiancheng might cause trouble. The main thing was that he hadn't paid yet. If he ran off after paying, it would have nothing to do with her.
As a businessman, she naturally loved money the most. Money can bring endless living space. People without money have very narrow living spaces and might even choose to commit suicide by jumping off a building because they can't afford a head of cabbage.
Therefore, Xiao Xiao really liked money. As long as there was money, anything was possible; without money, nothing was possible. This is the most basic idea for people who constantly pursue wealth.
Ye Tiancheng saw through Xiao Xiao's thoughts. He smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I won't run off so easily. If you think I'll run off, I'll pay you cash immediately."
Xiao Xiao was surprised that Ye Tiancheng could see her inner thoughts. She couldn't help but blush and felt extremely embarrassed. She wished she could disappear into a hole. Seeing her like this, Ye Tiancheng laughed heartily, "Pursuing wealth is everyone's basic requirement, and it's not shameful. So I think you should face it calmly. Of course, anyone who tries to hide their most shameful thoughts in front of me is a failure, because I can see through everyone's inner thoughts."
At this point, she became even more fearful. She hadn't expected to meet such a formidable character.
Because someone who could guess her inner thoughts so accurately must be very powerful, she was no longer worried about him crashing the machine and had full confidence in him.
If this woman had self-awareness, she wouldn't have ended up in such a state. The main reason was that she thought Ye Tiancheng was an idiot, incapable of operating the machine, let alone guessing her inner thoughts.
The people of Houjia Village had already become accustomed to his uncanny abilities. When he revealed that he could understand what others were thinking, everyone in Houjia Village was convinced, and their worries about whether he could operate the machine disappeared. Ye Tiancheng clapped his hands, wiped them on his clothes, jumped onto the tractor, and began to operate it. These things were actually incredibly simple for him. Because he possessed the power of the divine stone, he learned things very quickly. After simply glancing at the operating instructions, he could use it skillfully.
"Wow, this guy is amazing! Is he the legendary protagonist with a halo?" At this moment, Xiao Xiao's mouth was wide open in astonishment, wide enough to fit a fist.
Practice makes perfect. In a short while, he mastered it very skillfully, planting seedlings in four to five mu of land. He was mainly planting kiwifruit. If this kiwifruit he planted were produced, it would definitely be in short supply. Ordinary kiwifruit were only the size of eggs, but the kiwifruit he planted were the size of pomelos.
This was Ye Tiancheng's ability, which set him apart from ordinary people. He always did things that others couldn't understand and that surpassed imagination, because he no longer belonged to this world. In the future, he might ascend to heaven to kill gods and descend to hell to slay demons.
Facing such a powerful and ferocious person, not everyone could understand or comprehend.
Only one word could describe it: terrifying, horrifying.
The reason Ye Tiancheng displayed a state that others could not understand or tolerate was mainly because his overall demeanor was beyond ordinary.
His actions were entirely driven by selfish and self-serving motives, and they were public choices made to defeat his opponents.
He planned to slap Hou Mingzhu, whom he had been assigned to, three times on a certain day and at a certain time, to let him understand that he could not control everything in this world, even though he had been relegated to farming in Houjia Village for three years.
He decided to retaliate in kind; the three slaps represented the three years. Hatred not only blinds people with anger but can also drive them to progress. Because he harbored immense hatred, he pushed forward relentlessly. Once he decided to do something, he would not back down.
These things made Ye Tiancheng feel incredibly terrified because he felt he was too dark and needed some light to illuminate his heart. Just then, his phone suddenly rang. It was Su Muxian calling. Ye Tiancheng quickly answered the phone.
"May I ask what brings the esteemed Miss Su to me?"
"Of course, something big has happened, something terrifying has occurred! Come and save me quickly."
Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but frown. He knew that she had countless bodyguards around her; who could possibly harm her?
"Miss Su, are you joking? Who in this world can harm even a single hair on your head?"
"There are indeed people who have the ability to do so. Therefore, I still request your help. If this continues, I will be finished." Hearing her plea for help, Ye Tiancheng quickly got off the tractor, transferred the money to Xiao Xiao's account, and drove a Great Wall pickup truck towards the Su family. Upon reaching the entrance of the Su family, he saw that the main gate had been destroyed, and several black sedans were parked at the entrance, including a bulldozer that stood proudly at the Su family's main gate.
Leading them was a fierce man with a face full of scars, named Scarface Brother. Scarface Brother was an arrogant and ruthless individual who preyed on his own kind.
"I didn't expect such a small ant to dare to stand before me. Don't you know that standing here is a capital offense?" The man, seeing Ye Tiancheng appear before him, said to him with immense anger.
"A mere ant dares to compete with the sun. I advise you to admit your mistakes and compensate the Su family for their losses. Otherwise, I don't care how many scars you have on your face, or how long you've been in society, thinking you own the whole world."
Because Ye Tiancheng possessed the power of the divine stone, he didn't take Scarface in his eyes. Scarface, seeing Ye Tiancheng's ferocity, felt a slight shadow within him. From Ye Tiancheng's eyes, he could tell that he wouldn't have any burden in his heart even if he killed many people. That darkness was transmitted to Ye Tiancheng by the divine stone. Now that they shared a body, whenever the divine stone had dark thoughts, it would affect Ye Tiancheng.
"Brothers, go up and tear this kid into pieces!"
Scarface said, waving his hand, and his brothers surged towards Ye Tiancheng like a tide. However, as soon as they reached Ye Tiancheng, a miraculous scene occurred. Ye Tiancheng stood with his arms crossed, looking at them like fools, and they couldn't even get close to him. It was as if an invisible wall separated them, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get close to Ye Tiancheng.
"What's going on?" Scarface looked at Ye Tiancheng fearfully, a trace of fear appearing on his face, which spread infinitely, causing his legs to tremble. He had been in society for so long and had never seen such a powerful figure. How could he not be surprised? How could he not be afraid?
Seeing their boss trembling, his subordinates immediately stepped forward and said, "Boss..."
"?" Scarface felt his subordinates were too useless and deserved a good beating. So, his expression turned angry towards his subordinates, as he had lost face and only had these subordinates to vent his anger on.
These subordinates were like fish caught in a net, suffering undeserved disaster. Fingerprints appeared on each of their faces.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tiancheng laughed heartily, "Do you think you can get away with this charade? Let me tell you, that's impossible. From now on, you should understand what it means to 'he who fights me shall perish, and he who submits shall live.' So, you need to compensate the Su family for their losses. It was five hundred million earlier, and now it's one billion."
The Su family members listening were terrified by his exorbitant demand. Where could they possibly compensate for such high losses? A few tens of thousands of yuan would be enough at most.
But Ye Tiancheng didn't think so. He believed that if he were to deal with them, he would make them completely submit. If they had no money, they would be slaves for life, compensating for their losses.
Coincidentally, he was still short of a few people for farming and planting. These people were young and full of energy, so he thought he should recruit them as slaves and have them farm.
"You know, killing someone doesn't require a nod of the head. There's a limit, isn't there? This broken gate isn't worth five or six hundred million. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
"No, I just think you're an idiot, like a clown. Because I enjoy having you as slaves. If you work for me, I'll provide for all your needs, but you won't have any money to spend. Because those who walk the streets will eventually have to pay their dues. Before this, you don't know how many kind people you've bullied. When it's time to settle the debt, you'll have to pay interest plus late fees. This world is that simple: the strong survive, the weak die. Because you are the weak, you must obey me, the strong."
Ye Tiancheng spoke with great arrogance, as if he were a god looking down from above.
"Not enough, what the hell are you?" After saying that, the guy drew his great club and swung it at Ye Tiancheng. But his club stopped in mid-air. Suddenly, Ye Tiancheng held a small pebble and flicked it towards his arm. With a crack, the guy's arm broke, and the club fell to the ground.
"I'm truly sorry. I didn't control my strength well and caused your arm to suffer." These words were practically an insult to Scarface. From ancient times, he knew that what goes around comes around, but he never expected to suffer so miserably, so pitifully.
"I promise you, but..." The guy looked helplessly at his arm, hoping he could find a way to help him solve the pain. Seeing his pathetic state, Ye Tiancheng walked over and rubbed his arm. Miraculously, his arm healed.
The series of events that unfolded left the people of Hejia Village dumbfounded. Scarface was convinced and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Ye Tiancheng, repeatedly shouting, "Boss above, please accept your subordinate's bow."
"You're wrong. I said you'll be my slave. It should be Master above. From now on, you must call me Master, not Boss?" Ye Tiancheng felt the guy still needed to be taught and glared at him a few times, scaring him to the bone. The guy quickly changed his address, "Master above, this subordinate deserves to die."
He hadn't expected to deal with these guys so easily. The Su family members and the people of Houjia Village watched in stunned silence.
Su Mozhe cautiously walked over after a long while, then tightly grasped Ye Tiancheng's hand and said, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you today, our Su family would have been finished."
"I think there must be a mastermind behind this. Otherwise, with all these troubles, how dare they attack the Su family? And you guys, don't you have many bodyguards? Where did they all go?" Ye Tiancheng was very confused. Since his arrival, he hadn't seen any of the Su family's bodyguards. Usually, they were dressed impeccably, wearing sunglasses, with earpieces, looking like standard international bodyguards.
"Don't mention them. As soon as trouble arises, everyone runs away, not even a shadow can be seen." Su Mozhe said to Ye Tiancheng with a bitter smile.
"It seems they are all just freeloaders. When it's time to exert effort, everyone chooses to flee."
"We offer an annual salary of 10 million yuan. Will you be our bodyguard?" The Su family members said in unison, but he shook his head, refusing.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng refuse, Su Mozhe immediately increased the offer, "How about 20 million? 20 million!"
"No means no. I like what I like, and I dislike what I dislike. So, no matter how much gold or silver you offer, it won't work, because I don't like bowing and scraping or acting subservient to others. After being trash for three years, I no longer want to do such trashy things. The saying 'the strong survive, the weak die' is something I deeply understand, but from now on, I must become strong." Ye Tiancheng looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, revealing the demeanor of a future strongman.
"What are you being so conceited about? As the saying goes, when drinking water, don't forget the source. Have you forgotten my kindness so quickly?" Su Muxian played the emotional card, which put him in a difficult position.
The debts of gratitude owed in this world are the hardest to repay. So, as long as someone plays the emotional card, he becomes like a snake whose seven inches have been struck – it's his weakness.
"Then I'll accept your request. But I have one condition: I won't live in your Su family. Whenever you are in danger, I will be the first to arrive." Ye Tiancheng felt that being a mobile bodyguard was very suitable for him, so he said this to Su Muxian. Hearing his words, she felt that this was acceptable. As long as she had an ace like him to deter others, those who wanted to harm their Su family would not dare to have any ideas. After all, a strong person like him was like trash in front of her, so who would dare to harm even a single hair of the Su family?
"This condition is acceptable. I agree."
Su Muxian said to him with a smile, her eyes filled with joy, which made Ye Tiancheng feel a shiver down his spine.
There are many things that are not what he wants. Love, for him, is completely difficult to adapt to in the future. These things need to be planned for in the future. He doesn't need to think so much now.
