Chapter 149: The Goddess is Pulled Down from the Altar

After the meal, Fang Zhou and Assistant Liu each drove a car to take Qin Yun and the others back to school.

But they were forced to stop on the way up the mountain.

At the fork in the road at the foot of the mountain, two trucks were parked, unable to go further. The trucks had to stop there.

Someone was directing something.

“We can’t go any further up ahead. We’ll have to leave them here and call for vans to transport everything bit by bit.”

Then came a clear female voice in response, “Alright, Principal He, please contact the town’s trucks.”

Fang Zhou heard it and thought, Isn’t that Qiao Sisi’s voice? What is she doing here?

Getting out of the car to take a look, he saw that the trucks were filled with supplies donated by her for the students.

Two full trucks!

And she was personally overseeing and arranging everything on the front line!

This really surprised Fang Zhou.

While he was in a daze, she spotted him and called out loudly, “Fang Zhou, come over and help watch the view. The truck needs to turn around.”

“Oh, okay, coming.”

Soon, after the truck turned around, the four or five trucks from the town arrived. The farmers hired by Qiao Sisi with her money were busy unloading the supplies.

Fang Zhou, unable to stay idle, rolled up his sleeves and joined in to help. Before long, he was sweating heavily.

Behind him, Qiao Sisi teased, “Even if you help carry things, I won’t raise your pay, you know.”

Fang Zhou thought it was already very commendable for Qiao Sisi to do this much. How could he possibly ask for money from her?

“Today, I’m working for Miss Qiao for free!”

After about half an hour of work, Fang Zhou was exhausted and sat on the ground to rest.

A cold voice sounded in his ear.

“If you’re working for Miss Qiao, you wouldn’t mind helping me with some work, would you?”

It was Han Xi’s voice.

Fang Zhou put down the supplies in his hand and turned to look. She was standing with several people, holding various tools.

“What’s this?”

Han Xi raised the production and business license application form she had just prepared to submit and said softly, “I plan to invest in a farm on the mountain over there.”

Fang Zhou’s pupils dilated instantly. Really?

Is Han Xi really this generous?

A farm would definitely need help, right? Then those rural women in the mountains would have work to do. They wouldn’t need to go out to work.

The children could enjoy their mothers’ love and wouldn’t have to bear too much pressure at a young age, even skipping classes to help with farm work.

It seemed he had only been out for half a day, but everything had changed dramatically.

What Qiao Sisi did had signs beforehand, but Han Xi’s move was completely unexpected.

She really was quietly doing big things.

“What do you need help with?”

It took Fang Zhou several seconds to find his voice.

“It’s simple. Just go to the surrounding villages and contact the village committees to notify them.”

Han Xi’s expression was very indifferent, and her gaze towards Fang Zhou was also calm, as if it didn’t matter whether he helped or not.

“Alright, I’ll go. Give me the information.”

Fang Zhou agreed without hesitation.

“I’ll go with you.”

After saying that, Han Xi gave a few instructions to the people around her, seemingly dividing the areas and assigning tasks.

Fang Zhou also returned to the car and gave a brief explanation to Qin Yun and the others, who had been waiting.

“I’m going to help with some promotion. You drive the car back later.”

Qin Yun raised an eyebrow and glanced at Han Xi and the others not far away, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

She smiled gently and said, “Alright, go ahead.”

A Nian had already been taken up the mountain by Assistant Liu. Fang Zhou had asked a truck driver to help drive another car up.

After arranging everything, Fang Zhou got into another car with Han Xi and the others and left the foot of the mountain.

“So, those people that time were here for research and site selection?”

Fang Zhou suddenly remembered seeing people from Han Xi’s company during the rice planting.

“Yes, they were from the marketing department.”

Han Xi and Fang Zhou were sitting in the back, with two others in the front, making a total of four in the car.

“Hi!”

The young man in the passenger seat greeted Fang Zhou enthusiastically.

After receiving Fang Zhou’s smile in return, he turned back.

Outwardly calm, he was actually very excited inside.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! This person named Fang Zhou seems to be the one Han Xi likes!

He had seen the CEO assistant’s post on social media, saying that Han Xi was the top supporter in a male streamer’s live broadcast.

He had a hunch that it was Fang Zhou!

Not to mention, just looking at the romance show, Han Xi’s behavior was very telling.

Her gaze—who would believe she didn’t like Fang Zhou!

And Han Xi had sent Fang Zhou two affection texts!

Isn’t that enough to show Han Xi’s feelings?

“Were you out with Qin Yun just now?”

Han Xi asked unexpectedly.

Fang Zhou nodded and briefly explained the situation.

“Yes, I took a student to the hospital.”

I see, Han Xi thought, as long as it wasn’t a date.

“Is your leg better?”

Fang Zhou suddenly remembered that Han Xi had been bitten by a leech that day and hadn’t gone to Qin Yun for medicine, so he casually asked.

Han Xi shook her head and said lightly, “It’s fine now.”

“That’s good.”

Fang Zhou nodded and didn’t ask further. He was about to close his eyes for a nap when he heard Han Xi’s cool voice again.

“But, it seems a bit itchy.”

Fang Zhou opened his eyes to see the female CEO beside him slowly rolling up her pants, revealing her smooth, white calf.

“Can you take a look for me, please?”

Her last words, “please,” were soft and almost coquettish.

The employee in the passenger seat internally exclaimed: Unbelievable!

When had they ever seen Han Xi act so demurely?

Fang Zhou looked down and saw her leg, fair and unblemished, with no sign of injury.

Just as he was wondering, Han Xi placed her leg directly on his lap.

“The light is poor down there; this is more convenient.”

Fang Zhou’s pupils widened in shock. He had never seen such a scene before!

“No, no problem.”

He quickly checked her leg, finding no wounds, and hurriedly put her leg down.

Wow, Han Xi was never this forward before!

In private, she would be fine with intimacy if Fang Zhou initiated it, but she would never show any affection in front of others.

Not even holding hands.

The current situation felt absurd, like a goddess being pulled down from the altar to revel with the common folk.

“Let’s go, we have work to do,” Fang Zhou said, trying to regain his composure.
