Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

After the livestream ended, cheers erupted in the studio. Xiaojie excitedly waved his tablet, "Boss Lin! You're truly amazing! I admire you so much!"

If he hadn't seen that Xiao Jie didn't take advantage of the opportunity, Lin Bufan really wanted to kick him away. Bro, is this someone you can just worship casually?

Grandpa Long came over tremblingly, and his calloused hands tightly grasped Lin Bufan's arm: "Young man... have all the tea leaves... really been sold?" Tears glistened in the old man's cloudy eyes.

Gu Jia walked over quickly, her voice trembling a little: "Lin Bufan, the background shows that the total sales have exceeded 20 million... This is equivalent to the total output value of the tea factory in the past three years!" The account book in her hand was already crumpled.

Lin Bufan smiled and looked around: "This is just the beginning! Once the road is repaired, we will increase production and sell 100,000 orders during the next live broadcast!"

Then, Lin Bufan turned around and shouted to the staff, "Everyone who came tonight, go back to the finance department and collect your 2 yuan bonus!"

Cheers erupted from the drying yard. Xiao Jie raised his orchid finger and wiped away tears, "Boss Lin... you're so kind... I... I can't stand it anymore..."

Cheers erupted from the scene. Several young staff members lifted Lin Bufan high into the air and shouted, "Long live President Lin!"

Lin Bufan, who was thrown into the air, did not forget to remind him: "Boss Gu, remember to contact the road construction team tomorrow! The money will come from my personal account!"

Gu Jia looked up at the thrown Lin Bufan, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned to Grandpa Long and said, "Grandpa, let's go to the county to apply for road construction subsidies tomorrow morning."

Xu Ziyan rubbed his sleepy eyes and ran out of the house, throwing himself into Gu Jia's arms: "Mom, I dreamed that our tea factory turned into a big castle..."

Lin Bufan had just been put down. Hearing this, he squatted down and pinched Xu Ziyan's cheek: "Boy, this is not a dream! When the road is repaired, uncle will build you a tree house on the tea mountain, how about it?"

Zhong Xiaoqin came over and handed Lin Bufan a cup of hot tea: "Drink some water, your throat is hoarse." She looked at the celebrating crowd in the distance and sighed softly: "I never thought a live broadcast could bring about such a big change."

Lin Bufan took the teacup and took the opportunity to hold Zhong Xiaoqin's hand: "Sister Xiaoqin, you are the best. Those people only care about how successful I am, but you are the only one who cares about whether I am tired or not. Sister Xiaoqin, I will repay you well tonight!"

Zhong Xiaoqin: “…”

The night breeze blew across the tea fields, carrying a delicate fragrance. In the center of the drying yard, workers built a bonfire, and the young people of the village spontaneously broke into a traditional dance. The firelight reflected on everyone's face, illuminating their hopes for the future.

Lin Bufan naturally did not break his promise. In the evening, he repaid Zhong Xiaoqin with all his heart. Only after Zhong Xiaoqin expressed that she had felt Lin Bufan's full sincerity did Lin Bufan stop!

As everyone knows, our Mr. Lin Bufan is a person who does not like to owe favors to others, nor does he like to be owed favors by others.

So after repaying Zhong Xiaoqin, Lin Bufan quietly came to Gu Jia's room again.

Gu Jia had no objection to repaying the favor, but she wanted to wait until she returned to the Magic City to do so.

Naturally, our Mr. Lin would not agree to this. After all, as the saying goes, repaying a favor never takes overnight!

In order not to disturb Xu Ziyan who was sleeping, Gu Jia boldly proposed the idea of ​​repaying her gratitude in the wild!

In fact, Lin Bufan was somewhat reluctant about this. After all, going out into the wild to repay his gratitude in this weather was no different from giving mosquitoes extra meals!

But because of Gu Jia's firm attitude, Lin Bufan had to agree. However, our Master Lin was not unprepared. He took out the two large boxes of mosquito coils that he had placed in the system space, and then set up a Tai Chi Bagua formation around the two of them!

Don't say it, don't say it!

This mosquito coil is really useful. For three whole hours, Lin Bufan and Gu Jia were not bitten by mosquitoes at all!

Moreover, in this misty mosquito coil array, Lin Bufan also had a feeling of cultivating immortality!

The morning sun streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Zhong Xiaoqin drowsily opened her eyes and found Lin Bufan still fast asleep beside her. Just as she was about to lean in for a kiss, she suddenly wrinkled her nose. "Hmm... what's that smell?"

Lin Bufan was woken up and rubbed his eyes sleepily: "What's wrong, Sister Xiaoqin..."

"You smell so bad!" Zhong Xiaoqin leaned in closer and sniffed: "Like... mosquito coils?"

Lin Bufan raised his arm and sniffed, then said casually, "No, I don't smell anything."

Zhong Xiaoqin knelt on the bed, circling around Lin Bufan like a puppy and sniffing: "Really?! Did you light mosquito coils last night?"

Seeing that he couldn't fool him, Lin Bufan slapped his forehead and pretended to understand something and said, "The mosquitoes here are too poisonous. I waited for you to fall asleep in the middle of the night and ordered several plates."

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, then suddenly tilted her head and asked, "Then why don't I have any smell? Only you have it?"

Lin Bufan reached out and pinched Zhong Xiaoqin's cheek. "Sister Xiaoqin, your skin is so delicate, your pores are so small that they seem non-existent. Unlike a rough guy like me, my pores are so big that you can plant rice seedlings, so I easily absorb odors!"

"Smooth talk..." Zhong Xiaoqin was amused and giggled. Just as she was about to say something else, her stomach suddenly growled.

Lin Bufan immediately took the opportunity to jump out of bed: "Are you hungry? I'll go see if breakfast is ready!" As he said that, he quickly put on his T-shirt and ran out, almost tripping over his own slippers.

They had breakfast in the tea factory cafeteria, with wild vegetable porridge cooked by Grandpa Long and served with pickled bamboo shoots. Zhong Xiaoqin had just sat down when she saw Gu Jia approaching with a lunch box. She also smelled the same mosquito coil scent as Lin Bufan on Gu Jia.

"Gu Gu, did you light mosquito coils last night?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked in surprise.

Gu Jia was obviously stunned for a moment: "Ah? What mosquito coil?"

Zhong Xiaoqin leaned in and sniffed, explaining, "That's the smell! Lin Bufan said there were a lot of mosquitoes last night, so he lit several mosquito coils and they all smelled like it. I didn't expect you to light one, too?"

Gu Jia's eyes wandered for a moment, then she lowered her head and drank her porridge as if nothing had happened: "Yes... there were indeed a lot of mosquitoes last night, I also ordered a few."

"Strange..." Zhong Xiaoqin tilted her head and muttered, "Why wasn't I bitten? Do mosquitoes only bite you two?"

"Maybe... maybe you slept too soundly." Gu Jia laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject: "Xiaoqin, it's a rare trip to Xiangxi, why not stay a few more days? The scenery here is beautiful, and the air is good, just right to relax."

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes lit up, and she was immediately distracted: "Of course! We finally get to go out once, so of course we have to have fun!" She turned to look at Lin Bufan who was teasing Xu Ziyan: "Lin Bufan, can we play for a few more days?"

Lin Bufan replied without even looking up: "Okay, I'll do as Sister Xiaoqin says."

Then, Lin Bufan pinched Xu Ziyan's cheek and said, "Ziyan, do you want to see a waterfall? I heard there's a particularly beautiful one in the mountains!"

"I want to!" Xu Ziyan cheered while holding up a small spoon, with rice grains all over his face.

After breakfast, Xiao Jie and the livestream team packed up their equipment and prepared to return. Before leaving, he shyly approached Lin Bufan and said, "Boss Lin... you don't even have anyone to serve you tea or water. How about I stay and wait on you?" He was about to take the teacup from Lin Bufan's hand.

Lin Bufan dodged sideways and kicked Xiaojie on the butt: "Get out! Stop disgusting me here!" Xiaojie cried out "ouch" and rushed into the bus, not forgetting to stick his head out of the window and wink: "Mr. Lin, remember to miss me~"

After sending the live broadcast team away, Lin Bufan turned to Gu Jia and said, "Sister Gu, let's go to the county today to get the road construction procedures done?" Gu Jia nodded and turned to go into the house to get the materials. Zhong Xiaoqin walked over with Xu Ziyan: "Ziyan and I will go too!"

In the next few days, everyone was busy, and Lin Bufan was the busiest among them.

In the morning, he ran around to handle government paperwork, and in the afternoon, he took Xu Ziyan on a wild adventure in the mountains. Grandpa Long volunteered to be their guide, leading them to a waterfall hidden deep in the mountains. Xu Ziyan rode on Lin Bufan's neck, shouting and screaming, the splashing water soaking Zhong Xiaoqin's skirt, causing her to chase him all over the mountain. In the evening, after repaying Zhong Xiaoqin, Lin Bufan and Gu Jia searched for a secluded place to cultivate their immortality!

Don't say it, don't say it!

After practicing for a few days, Lin Bufan already feels that he is about to be included in the immortal class!

On the evening of the third day, the County Transportation Bureau finally approved the road construction. Lin Bufan immediately contacted the construction team, and the initial funds he had advanced were quickly received. Grandpa Long and the young men in the village volunteered to help clear the roadbed. Even people in their seventies and eighties came with bamboo baskets to collect stones.

On the morning of the seventh day, a heavy truck rumbled into the tea factory. Workers unloaded a large object covered in red cloth—it was the bronze statue Lin Bufan had commissioned. At the unveiling ceremony, Grandpa Long insisted on killing a rooster for a sacrificial offering. The rooster fluttered and flew over the statue, drawing laughter from the crowd.

The night before returning to the Magic City, the village held a grand banquet. Grandpa Long, his face flushed with wine, held Lin Bufan's hand and babbled, "Young man... this road will be called Bufan Road... After a while... when everyone in the village becomes wealthy... we'll build a golden statue for you..."

……

After a vote by the four of them, they gave up the most convenient flight back to Shanghai and chose a motorhome instead!

The RV drove slowly along the winding national highway, and the scenery outside the window unfolded like a scroll. Xu Ziyan leaned against the window, his little face pressed against the glass: "Mom, look! Does that cloud look like it?" Gu Jia followed his finger and looked up unconsciously: "Yes, I'll buy you a real one when we get to the service area."

Zhong Xiaoqin was flipping through a travel brochure when she suddenly exclaimed, "There's an ancient town twenty kilometers ahead! Should we go for a stroll?" Lin Bufan, steering the wheel, said with a smile, "We must go! I heard the stinky tofu there is incredible. Sister Xiaoqin, do you dare to try it?"

"Who wouldn't dare?" Zhong Xiaoqin raised her chin in disbelief. "It was someone who almost cried when she ate snail noodles last time..."

"I reiterate again, I'm not crying because of eating snail noodles, but I feel that the bastard boss must have mixed it with ole zai..."

"Eh...you're so disgusting..."

Just as the four of them were laughing and joking, Lin Bufan's phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed "Qin Yumo," which made him glance in the rearview mirror—Gu Jia was braiding Xu Ziyan's hair, and Zhong Xiaoqin was looking up a food guide.

"Hello?" Lin Bufan pressed the Bluetooth headset.

"Hubby~" Qin Yumo's sweet voice instantly reached Lin Bufan's ears: "You're the only one missing. When are you coming?"

Qin Yumo's words clearly implied something, but Lin Bufan couldn't recall what they had agreed on. In order to avoid being caught by Qin Yumo, Lin Bufan cautiously probed, "Is everyone here so soon? Who's here?"

Qin Yumo didn't hear the probing tone in Lin Bufan's words at all, and said without any guard, "Everyone in the crew is here. We came directly from the set after we finished filming today. The banquet is almost about to start, and you are the only one who hasn't come yet!"

Crew?

Wrap up?

Have a banquet?

The event that can combine these three elements is undoubtedly the wrap-up party!

It’s just a wrap-up party, why doesn’t the boss, leading actor, and producer know about it?

Lin Bufan's grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened. Although he felt his guess was almost correct, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked, "Wrap-up party? Are you talking about the wrap-up party for 'The Final Battle of the Forbidden City'?"

Qin Yumo's cheerful voice came from the receiver: "Yes, of course it's the wrap-up party for 'Battle of the Forbidden City'. What else could it be?"

"Li Chao, you bastard!" Lin Bufan suddenly roared, frightening the three people in the back seat. Even Xu Ziyan's toy car fell to the ground in shock.

In the hotel's banquet hall, Li Chao had just walked over to Qin Yumo's table when he suddenly caught the faint sound of angry roars from the other end of the phone. He paused, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. "I thought I heard Brother Lin's voice just now? Is he here?"

Qin Yumo held the phone and raised his other hand cautiously: "Director Li, Afan... he really didn't come to the scene..."

Li Chao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to wipe his sweat when he heard Qin Yumo add weakly, "But he said... he would chop you to death..."

"Pah!" Li Chao's champagne glass fell to the ground, splashing all over his trouser leg. He froze in place, his face pale. "This...is this a joke?"

Across the table, Zeng Xiaoxian was gnawing on a chicken leg. Upon hearing this, he interrupted with a gloating look: "Director Li, based on my understanding of Bufan... when he says he's going to chop someone, he really does." As he said this, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Hu Yifei slapped Zeng Xiaoxian on the back of the head and said, "Eat your meal!" Then she turned to Li Chao and gave him a kind smile. "Don't be afraid, Director Li. I'll find someone to sew your head back together when the time comes."

Li Chao: ...

I thank you whole family!
