"Chen Yang, have you arranged a time to meet with them yet? How about I accompany you?" Li Han asked enthusiastically as Chen Yang was still pondering over things.

"I haven't set a time yet. I haven't given a definite answer on whether to cooperate; I said I'd consider it," Chen Yang replied.

"Ah? You haven't agreed?"

Upon hearing about the potential investment, both Li Han and Wu Kexin were taken aback when Chen Yang didn't immediately agree, puzzled by his actions.

"Yeah, I haven't agreed. I don't know their true intentions, so it's better to agree later. If they're testing us, agreeing right away would expose us," Chen Yang explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Han and Wu Kexin immediately understood.

They had gotten too excited hearing about investment.

"Right, not agreeing immediately is the right call. We need to show that we aren't desperate for money, let them wait for a bit and then respond," Li Han nodded in agreement with Chen Yang's approach.

Wu Kexin nodded as well and then asked Chen Yang, "So, when do you plan to respond?"

"Hmm... maybe this afternoon. I'll call him back around three or four and arrange to meet in the evening. Li Han, accompany me then; we need to show our stance," Chen Yang said after some thought.

Upon hearing it'd be in the evening, Li Han and Wu Kexin didn't immediately agree.

They thought it through seriously before nodding in agreement with Chen Yang's approach.

Once they finished discussing these matters, they didn't say much else.

Instead, they chatted about the recent progress of the project and some small matters.

"By the way, Chen Yang, speaking of this, I remembered something. Our nature park is almost complete. You need to start introducing some animals—it's better to do it early, so they can adapt quickly," Li Han said to Chen Yang as if recalling something suddenly.

Chen Yang wasn't surprised by this news.

He had been overseeing the construction, and as it neared completion, he had already made plans for this.

"Yes, I've already planned for this, I'll handle it," Chen Yang nodded in agreement.

Seeing Chen Yang had a plan, Li Han didn't say much more.

Wu Kexin nearby was more concerned and asked, "Where do you plan to bring them in from? I know some people who run parks; should I recommend some channels to you?"

Buying wildlife, especially rare animals, is not easy and can be quite expensive, so Wu Kexin thought of recommending some suitable channels to Chen Yang.

But Chen Yang had never planned to buy externally.

"No need, I plan to source locally. We aren't swimming in resources, so we should use what we reasonably have," Chen Yang said with a smile.

Wu Kexin and Li Han were a bit stunned upon hearing this.

"Source locally? Are you planning to catch them directly from the mountains?"

"Yes, everything is in these mountains, so why bring them in from elsewhere unnecessarily? I'll call on Hei Pi and the others to get some; they'll be as good as any," Chen Yang nodded.

Seeing Chen Yang really planned this, Li Han and Wu Kexin were even more stunned.

The animals in the mountains are quite fierce. It's one thing for small animals like rabbits and deer, but what about larger, more ferocious animals?

Wolves, bears, tigers, leopards—are they all supposed to be caught from the mountains too?

"Chen Yang, catching wild animals is too dangerous, and they're quite aggressive. It wouldn't be safe in the park; I think we shouldn't save money on this," Wu Kexin thought for a moment and then advised.

Li Han and Wu Kexin had the same opinion, "Right, Chen Yang, it's too dangerous. If something were to happen, it'd be troublesome. I think it's better to bring in reliable ones."

Their concerns were valid.

It's hard to tame wild beasts, and they pose safety risks in the park.

But to Chen Yang, these issues weren't a problem.

He had domestication magic pills. Once given to the animals, there'd be nothing to worry about in taming them.

"Kexin, Li Han, I have a solution for your worries. Rest assured, I know what I'm doing," Chen Yang said confidently.

Li Han and Wu Kexin wanted to continue advising him but seeing Chen Yang's confidence, they had to agree.

Chen Yang's projects hadn't run into any trouble yet.

Once they finished this topic, it was around noon.

Chen Yang had lunch with the three women and then went to the nature park for a visit.

The park was completed quickly mainly because he preserved the original mountain scenery as much as possible.

Apart from opening some paths for easy walking, hardly a single blade of grass or tree was touched throughout the mountain.

They had just set up safety nets to encompass the massive forest and created a few resting squares.

The workload wasn't large, hence the quick completion.

The four of them walked through the vast park, taking in the situation.

They entered from the entrance around one o'clock, and when they finished, it was already four.

Seeing the time was right, Chen Yang planned to call back the investors for a meeting.

But just as he arrived at the village center and hadn't caught his breath, the investors called him back.

Seeing the call back, Chen Yang was very pleased.

This showed that his stance was effective, prompting them to call again.

Chen Yang contained his delight slightly and picked up the phone.

"Mr. Chen, have you thought about it? Our company is very interested in your project and would like to meet with you," the voice from the other end said before Chen Yang could speak.

Chen Yang glanced at the three women beside him and replied solemnly, "I've thought about it today and feel some village projects do need investment. If you're interested, we can meet."

"That's great! The sooner the better. Mr. Chen, how about we meet this afternoon? You choose the location."

When Chen Yang agreed to discuss, the other party's tone grew noticeably more excited.

That revealed some insights.

"Okay, at the Tianxia Hotel in the county town then. I'll head over shortly," Chen Yang said unambiguously.

"Alright, we'll book a private room immediately. Looking forward to meeting you."

The other party replied with a smile, and then they both hung up.

After hanging up, Chen Yang didn't rest.

"Li Han, should we head out now? It takes time to reach the county town, and we should be just in time when we arrive," Chen Yang smiled.

Li Han had been listening to Chen Yang's conversation with the investor.

She realized the other party was sincere and genuinely interested in investing, not probing like they had guessed, possibly from the Gu family's side.

"Okay, it's better to go early; I have some business to handle at the hotel too," Li Han agreed.

Then the two briefly explained to Wu Kexin and Yang Ruoxi before heading out.

They drove Li Han's luxury car.
