The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 239: Laying the Foundation _1

After a simple breakfast, Greg Jensen sat at the coffee table for a bowl of porridge before leaving the house with Liliana Grey.

Liliana was off to inspect her shop, and Greg returned to the Wanhe community, ready to continue carving the base arrays.

He was busy for most of the day, but finally, all the base arrays were carved.

After making himself something to eat, he drove to the vegetable plantation.

Liu Lao Da had managed the herbal medicine base, and even the lands contracted by Lindsey Wolfe had been set up under his supervision.

In this regard, he could be considered experienced.

With Adrian Wright and Spencer Burley, these two local aces, assisting, the five hundred acres of land were flattened out in just a few days.

When Greg arrived, they were directing workers to mark lines, planning to set up a temporary prefab building as an office space.

“Mr. Gao, you’re here.”

“Brother Qiang.”

Looking at the busy workers, Greg smiled and asked, “How’s it going? Any difficulties?”

Liu Lao Da laughed and said, “Rest assured, with Young Master Wang and Young Master Xu helping, it’s even faster than when I worked in the village.”

“Good, they are also shareholders. If there are any issues, just talk to them directly.”

“All right.”

Greg took a bag containing the base arrays from the car and said to the three men, “Grab a shovel and come with me, we have something to bury.”

“All right.”

Liu Lao Da obeyed Greg’s command without question, not even asking what they were burying, and quickly found three shovels.

“What are we doing?”

Spencer looked curiously at the bag in Greg’s hand.

Adrian also looked over, his gaze filled with contemplation.

Scanning the entire piece of land, Greg, without turning back, smiled and said, “We’re burying some good stuff, come on, follow me.”

After saying that, he walked towards the location he had in mind.

Once there, he drew a circle on the ground with his foot and said, “Dig a hole here, about three feet deep.”

“Yes, Mr. Gao.”

Without another word, Liu Lao Da picked up a shovel and started digging.

After a moment of hesitation, Adrian and Spencer also began to dig.

Greg took out a base array and said, “Once the hole is deep enough, bury this in it.”

“This is…”

Spencer looked puzzled.

But there was a flash of insight in Adrian’s eyes as he exclaimed in shock, “Are you setting up Feng Shui?”

“Haha, something like that.”

Greg laughed but didn’t elaborate further, instead he continued to seek out the next location.

All men are curious, especially about things like “Feng Shui,” which seem supernatural, and they are fascinated by it.

Seeing Greg acknowledge it, Adrian became excited and started digging even more energetically.

Spencer felt the same, thrilled to be involved in such a mysterious affair.

In comparison, Liu Lao Da was much more composed.

He had been convinced since the San Qing Dan episode that Greg was a worldly expert.

Therefore, he didn’t find it strange at all that Greg knew Feng Shui.

A worldly expert, well, understanding Feng Shui should be quite normal, right?

Liu Lao Da’s thinking was simple: as long as he stuck with Greg and worked honestly, not only would Greg not harm him, but there might also be benefits.

If there are benefits, why ask so many questions?

Just work hard and do the task at hand well; that’s better than anything.

Though it was a bit deep for three men to dig one hole, the hole was small, so it didn’t take long to finish.

Greg threw the base array into the hole and said, “Bury it, and make a mark. Be careful not to touch it during the construction.”

“Yes, Mr. Gao.”

Liu Lao Da hurriedly responded, found a thick branch to mark the spot, and then began shoveling soil back into the hole.

Spencer and Adrian stepped forward to help.

After filling in the soil, Greg Jensen led them to the next location to continue digging.

The four of them busied themselves for half a day and finally managed to install all the bases of the array.

Spencer Burley and Adrian Wright were so exhausted they were sweating buckets, their faces as red as cooked shrimp.

Greg Jensen frowned slightly, glanced at Boss Liu, who seemed unaffected, and then stared at the two men, “Are you still practicing the exercises I taught you?”

“Prac… Practicing, yeah.”

Spencer Burley’s face was filled with embarrassment, and he dared not meet Greg Jensen’s eyes.

Adrian Wright, being thin-skinned, said somewhat sheepishly, “I forgot the last couple of days.”

Greg Jensen was somewhat speechless and pointed at Boss Liu, “He’s almost fifty, and he was frailer than both of you before. Look at him now.

Young guys in their twenties, with less stamina than middle-aged men.”

Spencer Burley quickly replied, “Don’t worry, Greg, I’ll start practicing first thing tomorrow morning. I won’t miss a single day.”

Greg Jensen glared at him and couldn’t bother to reply, instead directing a look of approval at Boss Liu.

Boss Liu immediately beamed as if he had tasted honey, grinning from ear to ear.

“Alright, be very careful during the construction, don’t let anyone touch what we just buried.”

“Okay, Mr. Jensen.”

Greg Jensen gave a few more instructions and then left the vegetable base to visit Jamae University, where he picked up Vince Cooper, Ryan Lampe, and others, preparing to buy some clothes at the mall.

The winter clothes he had were from his university days, which he hadn’t brought since it wasn’t that cold before.

With the snow making these past days especially cold, he felt that without buying some warmer clothes, he wouldn’t even be able to step outside.

Vince Cooper laughed, “You’re so lucky, having three beautiful ladies accompany you shopping.”

“Haha, should I make a gesture then?”

“What do you think?”

Greg Jensen thought for a moment, then nodded emphatically, “Mm, should I then announce, ‘Tonight’s expenses are on young master Jensen’?”

“Haha, that’s up to you.”

“Paying for the whole place is definitely not happening, but picking out a set of cosmetics each is doable.”

Upon hearing Greg Jensen’s words, all three girls started laughing joyfully.

Vince Cooper and Ryan Lampe were alright, but it was Angela Stuart who laughed the most happily.

Vince Cooper was supported by Greg Jensen, and Ryan Lampe was decked out in designer brands and didn’t lack money at home, but Angela Stuart was different.

Her family’s financial situation was similar to Vince Cooper’s, and without a man like Greg Jensen to take care of her, receiving a set of high-end cosmetics made her so happy she couldn’t stop grinning.

A set of cosmetics cost a few thousand, which Greg Jensen didn’t mind too much.

The cosmetics section was near the entrance of the mall, so they went there first, and after their purchase, they headed to the men’s clothing section.

Every time Greg Jensen saw the Zegna brand, he couldn’t help but think of Squirtle, but still led the three ladies inside.

There was no helping it; in this day and age, high-end brands that are correctly valued, intellectual, and have a high cost-performance ratio were rare.

Brands like Versace, lacking culture, and Dolce & Gabbana, being NC, were international big names that only knew how to make money without any upbringing, and Greg Jensen really couldn’t bring himself to love them.

After the four of them walked in, a sales associate came over with a sweet and friendly smile and an enthusiastic attitude.

“May I help you with anything?”

“Just looking around.”

“Alright, please feel free to browse. I’ll be nearby if you need anything.”

“Sure.”

After speaking, the sales associate immediately stepped back a few meters, standing at a distance, and followed the four of them at a slow pace.

This behavior seemed ordinary, but it proved that the store had thoroughly researched customer psychology.

Because many customers entering such upscale clothing stores often feel an inexplicable pressure.

Some sales associates, eager to make a sale, keep introducing items non-stop, which can make customers feel irritable.

Even an otherwise sure sale can be difficult to close under these circumstances.

The approach of the sales associate was quite fitting: keeping her distance so as not to make customers feel neglected, while providing a relaxed shopping space.

Just as Greg Jensen was internally praising her, he noticed a familiar figure walking through the door.

Liliana Grey?

How did he happen to bump into her here?
