The people here are quite superstitious and like to pick auspicious dates before doing anything.
Of course, this is usually for significant events or important occasions.
For example, weddings, moving into a new house, raising beams, or breaking ground.
Nowadays, some people even choose the date and time for a Cesarean section to ensure a better birth hour for their child.
"Tomorrow is fine," Shen Huaimin said.
The construction could begin any day in the next few days, so a precise time wasn't necessary.
Once the materials and date were confirmed, Gao Yang and the others quickly made arrangements.
Meanwhile, in the capital, Mo Chen was reviewing the emails sent punctually each day by Luo Yunping.
Upon reading that Major General Xu Weiguo and Director Sun Yue had led people to the Shen family, Mo Chen frowned.
The Shen family's foundation was not yet complete, and such a sudden appearance would inevitably attract attention!
Moreover, the Shen family clearly hadn't realized this problem yet.
"Xue Zhu, find a group of highly capable and well-trained bodyguards," Mo Chen instructed his special assistant.
Hearing this, Xue Zhu immediately responded without question and turned to make arrangements.
Half an hour later, Xue Zhu presented a large stack of documents on Mo Chen's desk.
Mo Chen took the documents and began to flip through them one by one, occasionally pulling out a few pages from the middle.
"Hire these people and assign them to protect the Shen family," Mo Chen said, pointing to the selected profiles.
"Yes!"
Xue Zhu had been with Mo Chen for a long time and understood Mo Chen's affairs better than Mo Chen himself.
However, he couldn't understand why Mo Chen would specifically seek out people to protect the Shen family.
He knew that the Shen family had cured Xiao Jun, but that wasn't enough for their boss to go this far.
"But boss, wouldn't the Shen family refuse us if we went to them so openly?" Xue Zhu asked.
Mo Chen replied, "The Shen family runs a farm resort. Have people book a few rooms online and arrange for them to stay there first."
Xue Zhu thought, he still couldn't comprehend the world of the wealthy.
Xue Zhu's efficiency was remarkably fast. He quickly arranged for rooms to be booked online.
It took considerable effort for Xue Zhu to book the rooms. He hadn't expected that a farm resort built in the countryside would be so popular!
He tried several times, but it showed no available rooms. It was only later, with the help of money, that the problem was solved!
Once the room issue was resolved, the individuals immediately boarded flights to the farm resort.
They didn't even meet their employer; they only knew that money was no object!
Today, Shen Yao was taking Xiao Pangdun, the little fatty, for a stroll at the farm resort because Shen's mother had gone shopping with her friends.
Shen's mother and her friends had agreed not to bring any juniors, so Xiao Pangdun was left to Shen Yao, the "idle one."
As for why Mo Xuan didn't take care of him? That would be a joke. Mo Xuan himself was even less reliable than Xiao Pangdun, and Xiao Pangdun disdained Mo Xuan as a brother!
As Shen Yao was peeling a banana for Xiao Pangdun, she heard Xiao Hua's startled exclamation. Looking up, she saw a line of burly men standing at the reception.
Shen Yao counted them; there were eight burly men, all tall and imposing, looking like they were not to be trifled with!
Shen Yao noticed that these people might not have good intentions, as they were looking around, their gazes filled with undisguised disdain.
Xiao Hua and A Yu nervously completed the check-in process for them. Only when the men went upstairs did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"I was so scared! How can someone be so tall?" Xiao Hua patted her chest. These were the tallest people she had ever seen!
It was no wonder Xiao Hua and A Yu were so shocked. Southerners were generally petite; men were typically between 173 and 180 cm tall, and women between 156 and 165 cm.
Those taller than this were rare, and the Shen family, for one, was an exception.
In Shen's father's words, it was good genes.
"Indeed. One of his arms is as thick as my thigh. I'm scared," A Yu said, trembling. She had only seen such strong people on television!
"And they don't look like good people..."
Before Xiao Hua could finish speaking, another group of people entered, their height similar to the previous group.
"What do you mean, we don't look like good people? Us?" one of the burly men asked.
He then added, "Don't worry, we are good people."
The loud, burly men couldn't help but lower their voices when they saw the two small girls before them.
They were afraid of frightening these two little dwarfs!
Xiao Hua: ...
A Yu: ...
The two girls gave an extremely awkward smile and immediately processed their room reservations.
After they had completely left, they looked towards the entrance and confirmed no one was there before patting their startled hearts.
Shen Yao smiled at the two girls and silently memorized the appearance of those men.
At night, Mo Xuan opened his eyes and then flashed out of the Shen family's residence.
As if sensing something, Shen Yao also opened her eyes at the same time. Feeling Mo Xuan's presence, she immediately followed him.
Shen Yao's speed was incredible, and she quickly caught up to Mo Xuan.
"What's going on?"
Mo Xuan was startled by Shen Yao's sudden appearance. "I heard someone walking around outside our house, and after a while, their footsteps moved towards the greenhouse."
As Mo Xuan was a snake, he was naturally sensitive to subtle movements and could sense someone's presence almost immediately.
At such a late hour, anyone wandering around their house must be up to something!
"Well done. It's likely one of the two groups that came today," Shen Yao said. However, she felt it was highly probable that it was the first group of burly men.
Although the later group was also tall and strong, they had a different aura; their demeanor was gentle.
"Mother, why do you think they are here?" Mo Xuan asked, looking at Shen Yao.
"What else could they be here for? They just want to see where our things come from. To put it bluntly, they're here to scout,"
As Shen Yao spoke, a hint of killing intent flickered in her eyes, unnoticed even by herself.
Mo Xuan shivered and quietly took a step back. Someone was about to face trouble.
"Let's go and see what they want,"
Saying that, Shen Yao took out her phone and calmly turned on the video recording.
Mo Xuan thought, "My mother is truly amazing!"
Shen Yao and Mo Xuan followed them at a leisurely pace, making no sound. The intruders had no idea they were being followed, nor that their every move was being recorded on a phone.
