Xia Yuanfang calculated the money Chujian had given her, and realized it was more than enough to build a wall and another house.
Besides, she was also thinking that Aunt Chen, San Zong, and Yingying couldn't live in the Flying Vehicle all the time; they needed a proper place to live.
More importantly, ever since she saw those monsters on the news again in Mulan City, she had been very scared.
She wished she could build a bunker immediately to protect everyone.
However, she didn't mention these worries to Xia Chujian, but seeing that she was quite interested in this piece of land, she decided to get the planning done first.
Building so many things wasn't something that could be done in a short time, so she needed to hurry.
Xia Chujian said, "The construction company that Guo Sheng introduced to us is a very small family business."
"The main members are a family of seven: a father with six adult sons."
"And the mother helps with logistics and odd jobs."
"Guo Sheng also said that this family is particularly honest and never cuts corners in their work, and they are very tight-lipped."
Xia Chujian had "intimidated" Guo Sheng with Zong Ruoan and Quan Yuxun, and had also cooperated with him to buy a house for Ping Qiong, so she was quite confident in his recommendation.
She had checked the background of this family on the Star Network, and their reputation was indeed good. Some comments even suggested that people should take advantage of them if they could because they were too honest...
And Guo Sheng was indeed different from before. He no longer looked down on people, nor did he look down on Xia Chujian because he had gotten close to Quan Yuxun.
Therefore, their relationship was quite good.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, a message from Guo Sheng popped up on time.
[Guo Sheng]: Sister Xia, I've brought the people. Where are you?
Of course, Xia Chujian wouldn't let Guo Sheng discover that they had hidden a Flying Vehicle here.
[Xia Chujian]: We'll be there soon, just wait there.
She had previously sent Guo Sheng a coordinate, about two li away from the Flying Vehicle.
Xia Chujian and Xia Yuanfang put on their coats, hats, and self-heating masks and left the Flying Vehicle.
Of course, Xia Chujian also brought her smart pistol and Tactical Dagger.
She now felt that she needed to stockpile a batch of guns and ammunition in this place in case of emergency.
Because this place was located between Mulan City and the Exotic Beast Forest, it was free but also a no-man's-land.
The people of the Mulan City Punishment Department were just for show. Although she was a formal employee of the Special Security Bureau, the Special Security Bureau couldn't be her family's bodyguard.
In case some malicious bandits wanted to deal with them, most of the family had no fighting power.
Even Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying couldn't beat those who had firearms.
So Xia Chujian had to ensure that she could single-handedly wipe out any invading enemies.
Therefore, she planned to add a secret armory to the house, which required the people building the house to not only be tight-lipped but also trustworthy.
As she pondered this, she simply wrote these requirements in her Quantum Optical Brain notebook.
Aunt Chen said, "Xia Researcher, let me go with you."
These people were going to build a wall here, and she had to recognize who they were first.
Xia Yuanfang agreed.
The three of them walked for ten minutes and arrived near a dilapidated, faded camouflage truck.
Guo Sheng was wearing a coat and thick woolen gloves, leaning against the front of the truck and smoking.
Finally seeing someone coming, he quickly threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped on it.
Xia Chujian saw it and said dissatisfied, "Guo Sheng, you'll cause a forest fire like that. Don't smoke on my property in the future."
Guo Sheng looked at the snow that hadn't melted on the ground, and then at the cigarette that had been crushed into powder, and twitched his lips, saying, "Got it, Sister Xia, I won't smoke again in the future! I'll quit smoking!"
Xia Yuanfang encouraged him, "Quitting smoking is good, it's good for your health."
Guo Sheng's face was flushed, but he still nodded and bowed to Xia Yuanfang, saying, "Hello, Ms. Xia."
He then looked at Xia Chujian, "Sister Xia, you're really amazing! You've even bought land! I heard you bought more than ten mu of land?"
He was actually testing Xia Chujian, because he didn't know how much land Xia Chujian had bought.
But in his impression, people of their class were considered extremely wealthy if they could buy one mu of land.
Buying more than ten mu would make them a powerful family.
Xia Chujian said calmly and indifferently, "It's okay, I only bought ten hectares."
"Ten... hectares!" Guo Sheng almost fainted when he heard the unit. "Ten hectares is one hundred and fifty mu! Sister Xia, did you win the Interstellar Network Lottery Grand Prize?!"
Otherwise, he couldn't figure out where Xia Chujian got so much money!
Xia Chujian smiled modestly, "How could I have so much money? It's all thanks to my friends giving me face and lending it to me."
Guo Sheng almost choked, "...Borrowed? Which friend? So rich, do they need to buy a house?"
His occupational disease kicked in, and the words blurted out almost involuntarily.
But after saying it, he realized he hadn't thought it through.
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "I already bought one, and I bought it from you, Mr. Guo..."
Guo Sheng immediately understood, "...You borrowed the money from Mr. Quan?!"
Xia Chujian nodded, saying casually, "Besides him, no one else can lend me so much money in one go."
"...Don't you also know Young Master Zong? If you wanted, Young Master Zong could lend it to you..." Guo Sheng now admired Xia Chujian to the point of prostration, completely and utterly convinced.
Xia Chujian: "..."
That's right, why didn't she think of borrowing money from Zong Ruoan?
Borrowing from Zong Ruoan, that man is a gentleman, at least he wouldn't scheme against her...
Guo Sheng sincerely wanted to befriend Xia Chujian and confided in her, "Sister Xia, now that we've bought such a large piece of land, we need to plan it out properly. Besides the wall, aren't you going to build any other houses?"
Xia Chujian said, "Yes, I also want to build a house for myself..."
Guo Sheng immediately patted his chest, "The construction company I'm introducing to you can also build houses! They have all kinds of licenses and equipment, large-scale integrated module design, using brand-new building materials, and the fees are very cheap!"
At this moment, the six men sitting in the truck's carriage stood up together and jumped out of the carriage one after another.
Xia Chujian was slightly stunned.
These six men were all over two meters tall, burly, and their arms were thicker than her thighs.
In such cold weather, they were only wearing a set of coarse cloth work clothes and hard hats.
They all had thick eyebrows and big eyes, with honest faces.
Seeing Xia Chujian and Xia Yuanfang, they couldn't even speak, and their faces turned red as they stammered.
Then a man who was also over two meters tall and a woman who was only about 1.6 meters tall got out of the truck's cab.
They were also equally honest and bowed repeatedly to Xia Chujian and Xia Yuanfang.
The man over two meters tall bent his waist at a right angle.
Guo Sheng said, "This is my friend, surnamed Bai, you can call him Bai Li Xin. This is his own company, and his whole family is very capable. I guarantee they'll build the wall for you smoothly!"
Xia Chujian didn't speak at this time, letting Xia Yuanfang take the lead.
Xia Yuanfang said with a smile, "Thank you, everyone. We just want to enclose our land with a wall. I don't know what suitable wall styles you recommend."
Speaking of this kind of thing, the two-meter-tall man who had been hunching over seemed to find a bit of confidence.
He straightened up, looked around, and said, "How big is this piece of land?"
"Ten hectares."
"Do you have a blueprint?"
Xia Yuanfang quickly brought up the physical map.
Bai Li Xin only glanced at it and said, "This land is relatively long from east to west, and narrow from north to south, which is perfect for building a Nine-Bend Corridor. This kind of wall can also be used as a passage, with an electronic fence on top, increasing the electromagnetic force, to ensure that neither humans nor Humanoids can get through."
Xia Chujian asked curiously, "...Can Gene Evolvers get through?"
Bai Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Gene Evolvers are the elite of the elite, why would they climb someone else's wall?"
Xia Chujian thought of the intelligent machine guns that could automatically monitor and stand guard, and actually wanted to build a wall like a sentry tower.
Unfortunately, she didn't have that much money.
She was just thinking about it.
Xia Yuanfang said, "The fence is just a marker to remind everyone that this land has an owner. If outsiders trespass illegally, we'll call the police directly."
Xia Chujian's heart stirred, and she said, "I'll see if I can get a Special Security Bureau sign. Let's see who's so blind."
Even Gene Evolvers wouldn't dare to provoke the Special Security Bureau easily.
As soon as she said this, Guo Sheng and Bai Li Xin almost knelt down to her.
Guo Sheng said with a bitter face, "Sister Xia... Grandma Xia, do you know people in the Special Security Bureau?"
Xia Chujian was secretly overjoyed, but her face remained calm as she said, "I am a staff member of the Special Security Bureau. Do you want to see my ID?"
Guo Sheng opened his mouth wide, and after a long while, he said, "With your abilities, why do you live in the North District?!"
"I like it, I want to, it's none of your business." Xia Chujian couldn't keep up her calm facade and glared at Guo Sheng.
Xia Yuanfang watched Xia Chujian talking to Guo Sheng from the side, secretly sighing in her heart.
She was still not as good as this little niece...
Back then, as a genius girl, she was well-protected by her family, went to school all the way, and entered university at the age of twelve.
After graduation, she entered the research institute, and until... the end, she was in an ivory tower.
No wonder she had been here for more than ten years, but she couldn't get by as well as Chujian in three years.
Knowing her shortcomings, she stopped talking at this time and simply let Xia Chujian take the lead.
Encouraged by Xia Yuanfang, Xia Chujian no longer held back.
She asked Bai Li Xin, "Show me the design of that Nine-Bend Corridor."
Bai Li Xin quickly opened his Quantum Optical Brain and used a virtual display screen to show the image.
It was a beautiful and practical fence style, with white walls, black tops, and natural-colored wooden pillars.
It was like building a landscape around the entire land.
The top of the wall was a densely meshed electronic fence, covered with climbing plants, perfectly hidden.
And it didn't affect the electronic fence at the top from functioning.
Xia Chujian looked at Xia Yuanfang and Aunt Chen, "What do you think? Do you like this style?"
Xia Yuanfang and Aunt Chen liked it at first glance and said in unison, "We can also plant wisteria on it, which can provide shade and bloom."
Xia Chujian clapped her hands and smiled, "You have the same idea as me."
She turned to ask Bai Li Xin, "How long will this project take?"
Bai Li Xin said, "After all the dimensions are measured, we will go back and assemble it with integrated modules, then transport it here for installation. It will take about four weeks in total."
"What about the price?"
"We need to survey the site first, measure the dimensions, and then give you a quote according to this model. I will save as much as possible and won't put a big burden on you."
Xia Chujian said, "When can you start work? Is it just your family? Do you have enough manpower?"
Bai Li Xin quickly said, "Very soon! Very soon! After we measure the dimensions and calculate the quotation, as long as you accept it, we can place an order immediately, and then assemble it in our own factory while digging the foundation here. When all the assembly is done, the foundation here will also be dug, and then we can transport it here for installation. We will definitely be able to complete it within the time specified in the contract!"
"You can do that?!" Xia Yuanfang said in surprise, "Isn't it supposed to be built from scratch, brick by brick?"
Bai Li Xin smiled honestly, "That was the method used thousands of years ago. We now use large-scale integrated module assembly, which is fast and good. The building materials are also brand new, pollution-free, water-resistant, mildew-resistant, termite-resistant, and can withstand a magnitude 12 earthquake. If it weren't for the special terrain of your land, and it's particularly long, it wouldn't take four weeks, two weeks would be enough."
Xia Chujian was amazed: "...That's amazing, I'll wait and see!"
There will be a second update at 1 p.m.
