Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter One Hundred and Forty-One

Long Xiaoshan didn't know whether to consider himself a beast or worse than a beast.

Because.

When he woke up the next morning.

The "38th Parallel" was nowhere to be found.

With unwavering willpower, he mustered True Qi to climb out of bed.

Before he had confirmed that his inner demon was solved,

he decided to remain a beast, for the time being.

Glancing at Shen Yuerong, who was still sweetly asleep, Long Xiaoshan covered her with the blanket, left a note, and quietly left the room.

He drove back to the village.

Upon his return to Longyang Village, Long Xiaoshan discovered that in the few days he had been away,

the farm had undergone a drastic transformation.

At the foot of Xishan, several budding structures stood tall, with large cranes dominating the skyline, and the construction site was buzzing with activity.

Being the city's most important project, even official number one had visited for an inspection.

Coupled with the county's resources being largely funneled their way, everything was being taken care of in all aspects.

The farm was changing almost daily.

As for the villagers, having turned over the farmland, all the fields in the village now belonged to Longyang Group. Long Xiaoshan wasn't in a rush to transform all those fields with Spiritual Liquid.

Although he had already accumulated a decent amount of Spiritual Liquid,

such a thing could never be too abundant.

After inspecting the construction on the farm, Long Xiaoshan went back to the office.

School had already started.

Xu Manqing had taken Long Xiaoling to school. Since Long Xiaoshan had been busy in Xinyuan County with the launch of Dragon Spirit Pharmaceuticals' products, he hadn't personally taken Long Xiaoling to Xinyuan No. 1 Middle School. However, Xu Manqing was a teacher at the same school, and Long Xiaoshan had already made arrangements for Long Xiaoling to be in Xu Manqing's class, so there was no need to worry.

Xu Manqing, Long Xiaoling, and Wang Yan having left,

the house was no longer as lively as before.

Long Xiaoshan entered the office and first stepped into the accounting room on the first floor, where he saw Jin Lian sitting inside, reading from a book to Long Shiyu beside her.

"Auntie Jin Lian, Shiyu," Long Xiaoshan called out.

"Brother," Long Shiyu, upon seeing Long Xiaoshan, ran over swiftly and hugged him affectionately.

"President Long, you're back," Jin Lian smiled and stood up.

She was dressed in a fitted black pencil skirt, looking every bit the part of a corporate woman. A few days apart, and Jin Lian no longer had the air of a simple country woman.

"Auntie Jin Lian, just call me Xiaoshan, no need for 'President Long' or anything," Long Xiaoshan said.

"That won't do, we must observe proper formality. Now that we're officially a company, you shouldn't call me auntie here either," Jin Lian insisted earnestly.

"Alright then," Long Xiaoshan said helplessly.

"I'm working on the company's financial reports, do you want to take a look, President Long?"

"Yeah, let me see."

Long Xiaoshan walked over to the desk, and Jin Lian promptly vacated the seat. Long Xiaoshan sat down and began to review the financial reports while Jin Lian leaned over, pointing out the figures to him.

Long Xiaoshan nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Jin Lian truly was talented.

The reports were clear and free of errors.

No wonder she had been the village accountant for so many years.

But soon, he felt a weighty presence on his shoulder, warming his face slightly.

Long Xiaoshan didn't know whether Jin Lian did it intentionally or not.

It must have been unintentional, he thought.

It felt awkward to mention it directly.

And the sensation was rather indescribable.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

On his left arm, Long Shiyu was clinging to him.

Assailed by these two sensations, it was a joyful kind of torment.

Finally, having reviewed the report,

Long Xiaoshan felt as if he had been through a long battle, sweat breaking out on his back, and he quickly stood up saying, "Jin Lian, you've done very well."

"Thank you, President Long," Jin Lian's face also showed a happy smile.

Long Xiaoshan noticed some primary school textbooks on the desk,

with some shaky handwriting on them, and said, "Are these books for Shiyu to read?"

Jin Lian answered, "Yes, Shiyu has never attended school. Now that she's recovered, I want to give her some tutoring. After all, she's quite old, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to join the local primary school."

As she spoke, worry was evident in her eyes.

Being sixteen and completely uneducated, what would Shiyu do?

Long Xiaoshan also considered this issue and said, "Jin Lian, don't worry. I'm planning to build a primary school in the village. When it's ready, Shiyu can study there. The village school won't be so strict."

"Really?" Jin Lian's face lit up with joy.

"Brother, can I really go to school?" Long Shiyu also called out excitedly.

She had been envious seeing Wang Yan and Long Xiaoling go off to school.

"Of course," Long Xiaoshan said affectionately, patting Long Shiyu on the head.

He thought to himself that, since Zhao Jun was planning to donate Hope Primary Schools, he could start with one for Longyang Village. This had to be done—cultivation of culture and education was essential.

After chatting some more with Jin Lian and Long Shiyu,

Long Xiaoshan headed to the president's office on the second floor.

Upon entering, he saw Chun Tao in a gray pencil skirt, sitting in the outer section of the president's assistant area, looking at some papers.

Long Xiaoshan knocked gently on the door.

"Hello..." Chun Tao began to speak while looking up.

Her face immediately showed a surprised and delighted expression as she stood up and said, "Little Xiaoshan."

She took a few steps forward and seemed to remember something, then slowed down and stuttered, "Pr-President Long."

Long Xiaoshan entered and closed the door behind him, embracing Chun Tao and chiding, "President what? You're not allowed to call me that when we're alone."

Chun Tao blushed and nodded, "Little Xiaoshan."

Seeing her shy, newlywed-like demeanor, Long Xiaoshan felt a strong urge to tease her and embraced her tightly.
