<h4>Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200</h4>


    The night grew deeper, and the mountain vige returned to its usual quiet.


    Lin Yifan sat in the old house, under the dim light, bent over the table calcting ounts.


    Xu Fengxian, who had changed back into her ck dress, angrily pushed the door open and walked in.


    "You left too quickly today. By the time I got there, everyone had dispersed. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let Old Li head achieve his goal."


    Lin Yifanughed, "Isn’t this fine? At least we have a location for the clinic, and the annual rent of twelve hundred isn’t expensive."


    "Twelve hundred isn’t expensive, but losing money for no reason is a loss. The vige head said this morning, not only would he approve thend for you, but he’d also invest money, allocating at least eighty thousand a year and a monthly sry of one thousand six for the vige doctor. That would be one hundred thousand yuan a year. Now, thanks to him stirring things up, we lose twelve hundred."


    Xu Fengxian sat on the edge of the bed, she was very good at keeping ounts.


    Lin Yifan raised his eyebrows, "This little amount is nothing. If I’m not a vige doctor, I have no obligation to treat everyone. And it’s not just about Old Li head; Boss Liu is involved too."


    "Boss Liu usually acts like a gentleman, who knew he’d be so depraved behind closed doors. Looks like I got you into trouble."


    Xu Fengxian sighed.


    The conflict with the Liu Family certainly started because of her.


    Lin Yifan picked up the cigarette on the table and put it in his mouth.


    "It’s not rted to you. I caught a glimpse of him today from afar; his eyes are filled with greed. What he wants is not to hold grudges but to sabotage Second Uncle. If I’m not mistaken, he’s waiting to step in when the vige head’s term changes."


    Xu Fengxian gently picked up the lighter and lit it for him.


    "Boss Liu’s ambition is no small thing. He really thinks he can be the vige head? He’s dreaming; everyone in the vige is sensible. Who would elect him?"


    "Everyone thinks the vige head is a juicy role. Apart from Boss Liu, there are plenty of people eyeing Second Uncle’s position. So, this incident is just the beginning. The real confrontation is yet toe. He’s using Old Li head as a decoy to sow discord among vigers, forming cliques and colluding."


    Lin Yifan took a puff of his cigarette; rural life was getting more and more interesting.


    "Moreover, human ugliness isn’t as simple as you think. It’s like when the enemies came, the highest strength was only over a million, but there were more than two million puppet troops. That’s the best proof. People have herd instincts. Once controlled, things will be very different."


    "Do you also want to be the vige head?"


    Xu Fengxian’s eyes twinkled, looking at Lin Yifan.


    "No wonder they say you have a quick, clever mind; it’s true. Initially, I didn’t want to, but I have to think about it now. But for now, I need to open the clinic first."


    Lin Yifan lovingly pinched Xu Fengxian’s nose.


    The vige head has the decision-making authority on whether ck Bear Valley should be developed.


    Once that power falls into someone else’s hands, then it’s truly dangerous.


    Thus, opening a clinic is a guise; winning hearts is the real aim.


    If he were to be the vige’s leader in the future, though not a mighty power.


    The decision-making authority over the development of ck Bear Valley would be in his hands.


    That’s enough.


    "As long as you set your mind to it, you can definitely achieve it. Speaking of opening a clinic, it’s not a difficult task. Here’s one million; it’s enough for you to open a clinic, buy a house, or even a car, right?"


    Xu Fengxian reached into her pocket and took out a bank card, pping it on the table.


    "Is this... an allowance?"


    Lin Yifan chuckled at the bank card on the table.


    She had previously said she had a base of two million.


    Taking out half directly was enough to move anyone.


    "What are you saying? I’m all yours, and money means nothing. The bank interest isn’t much; use it first, just consider it an advance investment. If it’s not enough, let me know. I still have more."


    Xu Fengxian’s cheeks blushed like peach blossoms; her smile was charmingly captivating.


    Especially when she spoke, she was meticulous, entirely considering Lin Yifan’s pride.


    Lin Yifan pushed the bank card back to her.


    "All I want is you; keep the money well, just in case."


    Xu Fengxian’s face turned stern, pushing the bank card back.


    "What, you dislike my money? Or fear I’ll use it to force you to marry me?"


    "I know your heart, but I hope there’s no financial entanglement between us, especially since I can’t use your money. I can’t tolerate living off a woman, besides, I’m not yet at the end of my rope."


    For a widow, not having money to fall back on is incredibly difficult.


    Moreover, if money got involved in their rtionship, it wouldplicate things further.


    Xu Fengxian wanted to say more, but footsteps sounded outside, and then the door was pulled open.


    Xizhu entered, a cigarette hanging from his mouth.


    "I heard Old Li head ruined your clinic ns and you’re out of money."


    With a smile on his face, Xizhu without saying more, directly put a bag on the table.


    Looking at the neatly stacked thirty bundles of Hundred-Dor Bills, Lin Yifan chuckled.


    "Today, there are many people bringing money."


    "Well, every penny here was earned by me, very clean. You take it first, if it’s not enough, I’ll go to the bank and get more tomorrow."


    Always working on construction sites, Xizhu’s family had quite a bit of cash on hand.


    But Lin Yifan still pushed the money back.


    "Forget it, if I can’t open a clinic, how will I face everyone in the vige? You take it back; if I can’t get money in a couple of days, then we’ll see."


    "I respect your knowledge, but when ites to making money, you have to respect me. There’s no need for formalities."


    Xizhu red at Lin Yifan.


    Growing up together with genuine feelings; the bond is naturally different.


    Otherwise, Lin Yifan wouldn’t risk everything to promise him assistance.


    "It’s not about courtesy, because I already have a n. You’ll see."


    Lin Yifan mysteriously blinked.


    He had indeed thought of a new idea.


    "Alright, tell me if you need money. Come over to my house tomorrow noon for a drink."


    Xizhu was straightforward, grabbing the money bag and leaving.


    "I’m going to County tomorrow; let’s do it another day. By the way, could you find a carpenter for me, prepare some wood, and make a few cabs for herbal medicine?"


    Lin Yifan clearly knew the meaning of the drink.


    But he truly had ns for the next day.


    "Don’t worry, I’ve got it."


    Xizhu waved his hand without turning back, considering Xu Fengxian was still there.


    It wasn’t convenient to mention anything else.


    "What are you going to the county for?"


    Xu Fengxian looked at Lin Yifan curiously.


    "Of course, to raise money."


    Lin Yifan smiled mysteriously, teasingly replied.


    "You crafty one, full of ideas. So, are youing to my ce tonight or should I stay here?"


    Xu Fengxian looked at Lin Yifan affectionately.


    "Tonight, I need some quiet time. I’lle to find you after I return from the county tomorrow."


    Lin Yifan pinched Xu Fengxian’s tender cheek.


    Before his words fell, the phone rang.


    It was Shen Shiyao calling.
