"Ah?"
"Of course, I'd be more than happy to!"
Upon hearing Zong Shuyun's words, Li Qingfeng immediately replied.
He then looked at Zong Shuyun intently, finding her beautiful appearance quite pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Li Qingfeng's relaxed response, Zong Shuyun glanced at him with surprise.
After all, many people, upon hearing she was the town mayor, wouldn't even dare to look her in the eye, much like Liu Yuanhua and Shangguan Dadan beside them.
But this Li Qingfeng was different; there was no trace of concealment in his gaze.
What made her most comfortable was that, at least, Li Qingfeng was pleasant to look at.
"Since I don't know the value of your orchard, could you take me for a walk around it?"
Glancing at the fruit-laden appearance of the orchard, Zong Shuyun asked Li Qingfeng.
Hearing her words, Li Qingfeng looked at the female mayor with curiosity, surprised that she was considering such things, indeed unlike other town mayors.
"Alright, then follow me!"
Li Qingfeng took the lead and walked into the orchard. He had spent a long time in the orchard yesterday and knew it very well.
Zong Shuyun followed Li Qingfeng into the orchard and, seeing Liu Yuanhua and the others following, directly said, "You don't need to come with me. Return to town first."
"Then, Mayor, the lease of this orchard?"
Upon hearing Liu Yuanhua's question, Zong Shuyun appeared displeased and responded directly.
"I have my own plans. What? Do I, Zong Shuyun, need to report my every action to you, Liu Yuanhua?"
Hearing Zong Shuyun's somewhat angry words, Liu Yuanhua intended to say more but was stopped by his disciple, Shangguan Dadan.
Looking at his master, Shangguan Dadan shook his head.
Only then did Liu Yuanhua realize that Zong Shuyun was indeed their mayor!
Finally, Liu Yuanhua sheepishly drove his Jeep away from Xu Wu's orchard.
Watching their embarrassed departure, Li Qingfeng chuckled softly.
"Uncle Wu, get me a chopping knife!"
Saying this to Xu Wu, Li Qingfeng led Zong Shuyun into the orchard.
As soon as they entered the orchard, a silence fell between them.
After walking for about ten minutes, Zong Shuyun suddenly smiled, looking at Li Qingfeng ahead.
"Hahaha..."
Hearing her laughter, Li Qingfeng turned his head in confusion.
Zong Shuyun was now laughing so hard she could barely close her mouth. Seeing her holding her stomach and laughing heartily, a stark contrast to her demeanor during the negotiation, he curiously asked.
"Mayor Zong, what are you laughing at?"
"No, no, no. I'm only twenty-three this year. You can just call me Sister Zong."
"Alright, Sister Shuyun!"
Upon hearing Zong Shuyun's words, Li Qingfeng directly addressed her by her given name.
Perhaps she was laughing too hard and lost her composure, as Zong Shuyun didn't react immediately.
At this moment, Zong Shuyun pointed at Li Qingfeng's head and asked, "Li Qingfeng, what's going on with your head? Why is it all wrapped up like a mummy?"
This was actually the real reason Zong Shuyun wanted to tour the orchard with him. Li Qingfeng's appearance was too peculiar and amusing.
He touched the bulky bandages on his head and was immediately reminded of Aunt Pan's flustered appearance last night.
"There's nothing I can do. Aunt Pan's bandaging skills aren't very good, so it had to be like this!"
Hearing his words, Zong Shuyun laughed even harder.
Looking at this woman who was constantly smiling, Li Qingfeng couldn't see her as the legendary town mayor.
In fact, it was mainly because Zong Shuyun was not very old, and her youthful nature was still evident in her.
However, to Li Qingfeng's surprise, after this small interlude, the communication between them became much more harmonious, almost like friends.
They walked together to a fruit tree with yellowing leaves. Zong Shuyun looked up at the dense fruits above.
She asked Li Qingfeng, "Li Qingfeng, what is the cause of this disease in the fruit trees? As I walked along, these trees seem to have regained their vitality! No wonder you didn't want to lease it!"
Upon hearing Zong Shuyun's words, Li Qingfeng looked at her with a shocked expression.
"You noticed this?"
To his surprise, this woman noticed even such subtle changes in the fruit trees.
He knew that although he had sprinkled spiritual liquid on these fruit trees, the diluted spiritual liquid's effect was very slow.
If Li Qingfeng hadn't known what the fruit trees looked like a few days ago, he would have thought his spiritual liquid had no effect.
"What? Do you look down on me?"
"Although I am a town mayor, I am still very knowledgeable about fruit trees and such."
Hearing Li Qingfeng's questioning words, Zong Shuyun said with a touch of arrogance about her knowledge of fruit trees.
Like other plants, these fruit trees also have chlorophyll for photosynthesis, and photosynthesis requires sunlight.
Therefore, fruit trees are usually oriented towards the sun, with particularly lush branches and leaves, and the fruits ripen first.
Although the trunks of these fruit trees had lost their vitality, the fruits and leaves on them still possessed vigor, indicating that the fruit trees had indeed regained their life force.
Listening to her eloquent explanation, Li Qingfeng nodded in agreement, surprised that this beautiful town mayor possessed such knowledge.
"Sister Shuyun, you're amazing. You look like a top student!"
"Of course. Let me tell you, I was the leader of the Economics and Management department at Tsinghua University. This is just a piece of cake for me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng's mind buzzed.
Looking at Zong Shuyun before him, his eyes filled with shock. He suddenly remembered who Zong Shuyun was.
The legendary campus beauty of Tsinghua University, hailed as an unparalleled academic talent for a decade, Zong Shuyun!
Speaking of which, this Zong Shuyun was technically his senior, as she was only two years ahead of him when he enrolled.
Instantly, Li Qingfeng fell into a daze of memories, and he thought of another girl.
"Hey! Hey?"
"Li Qingfeng!"
Suddenly, Zong Shuyun's loud shout awakened Li Qingfeng from his reverie.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Li Qingfeng looking absent-minded and lost in thought, Zong Shuyun asked.
Hearing her question, Li Qingfeng spoke with a hint of bitterness to the beautiful town mayor, who was technically his senior, "Would you believe me if I said I'm your junior?"
Upon hearing Li Qingfeng's words, Zong Shuyun was stunned for a moment.
Then, she said disbelievingly, "Are you kidding me?"
"Your name is Li Qingfeng. When did Tsinghua University ever have someone named Li Qingfeng!"
Zong Shuyun was very skeptical. Just then, she seemed to recall something and looked up at him with shock.
