Lin Chen explained, "You know my personality. The environment in the Imperial Capital is too complicated, and I've always disliked trouble."
Mu Ningxue snorted coldly and said, "Then why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand!"
Lin Chen said helplessly, "I also made a sudden decision. I hadn't thought about this problem before. Don't be unhappy; I'll come to see you during the holiday!"
… …
The next morning, under Mu Ningxue's resentful gaze, Lin Chen left the Imperial Capital.
A day later, Lin Chen returned to his rented apartment in Bo City, packed his personal belongings, terminated the lease, and then flew to Feiniao City again.
Half a day later, Lin Chen walked out of Feiniao City's airport and saw a short-haired woman in formal wear slowly walking towards him.
"Boss Lin, you're quite carefree. As the company's biggest boss, you haven't visited once in half a year!" Jiang Xin complained slightly.
Although she was complaining, there was no anger on her face; on the contrary, a hint of a smile could vaguely be seen!
In half a year, Jiang Xin had undergone tremendous changes.
Compared to half a year ago, Jiang Xin was now more capable and confident.
"Employ people you trust; don't employ people you doubt. With such a capable housekeeper helping me watch over the company, what do I have to worry about!" Lin Chen said casually.
This was indeed the case. Jiang Xin's ability was beyond doubt. The two had maintained regular communication for half a year. Lin Chen only needed to control the direction, leaving the operations entirely to Jiang Xin. The company was managed in an orderly manner, without causing Lin Chen any worry.
Upon hearing this, a look of satisfaction appeared on Jiang Xin's face.
"Boss Lin, are you planning to go to the hotel first, or to the company first?"
Lin Chen didn't even think about it and said, "Let's go to the hotel. I won't go to the company; I'm very relieved with you there!"
Jiang Xin's smile deepened. After asking about Lin Chen's hotel preferences, she slowly drove away!
Lin Chen smiled broadly as he observed the changes in Feiniao City along the way.
Currently, Feiniao City was filled with construction sites. Jiang Xin's driving route was very deliberate, often passing by their company's construction sites.
Seeing the rapid development progress of the company, Lin Chen asked, "How much capital does the company still have on its books?"
Jiang Xin replied, "There's still 2.2 billion."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen pondered. Eight hundred million had been spent in half a year, and this was just the beginning; future investments would only be greater.
"After the residential area is built, will it really only be rented and not sold? Will the capital recovery be too slow?" Jiang Xin asked.
Lin Chen said, "Don't worry about the capital recovery. The previously planned policy will not change. Set up the property management company as soon as possible. If there are talented individuals willing to settle here, housing can be arranged for them completely free!"
Jiang Xin said, "Okay, I'll strive to make the company profitable within two years!"
Lin Chen smiled, "I believe you have that ability. Oh, and how is the progress of those company mergers?"
"The smaller developers have basically taken their money and run, but Lin Shi Group seems to be very optimistic about the development of Feiniao City! They are continuously increasing their investment in Feiniao City!" Jiang Xin replied.
"Lin Shi Group…" Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then continued, "Don't worry about Lin Shi Group. From now on, as long as a developer is willing to sell, we'll take everything. As for Lin Shi Group, we'll talk about them in a few years!"
The company's previously set development strategy was not only to acquire land in Ya An World but also to target the land and projects of those real estate companies.
Due to Feiniao City's special geographical location, the land prices here were very cheap. Compared to various cities across the country, Feiniao City at this time was not even as good as a general third-tier city.
Coastal cities faced the threat of sea monsters. Capable people preferred to develop inland, not to mention ordinary people.
Therefore, there were not many real estate companies here, with low profits and long capital recovery cycles.
Only companies optimistic about Feiniao City's future were willing to settle in Feiniao City and invest heavily.
Thirty billion in capital might not seem like much, but this amount was a huge sum in Feiniao City.
As for Lin Shi Group, there was even less to worry about. In the next few years, Lin Shi Group would fall into a predicament in Feiniao City.
At that time, it would be Lin Chen's best acquisition opportunity and the time for Lin Chen to dominate Feiniao City.
… …
After Lin Chen arrived at the hotel, he released Qian Renxue. The two played happily for a few days, then Lin Chen took Qian Renxue and the small beasts on a monster-hunting journey.
Lin Chen was exceptionally enthusiastic about hunting monsters on his own land.
Demon flesh and blood could be converted into energy crystals, demon materials could be sold for money, and that money could be invested back into the company, forming a virtuous cycle.
The hotel Lin Chen booked was located in the southwest of Feiniao City, near Ya An World. Being close to the sea, it was mostly populated by sea monsters, but also interspersed with many land-based demons.
Lin Chen said he was hunting monsters, but it could actually be described as collecting corpses. A large expanse of Dark Blue Silver Grass slowly advanced in front of Lin Chen.
Yin'er led her Dark Blue Silver Grass army, spearheading the attack, coordinating with the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors' freezing control, continuously absorbing the life force of the demons.
Amidst the large expanse of Dark Blue Silver Grass, there were many Dark Blue Silver Kings. Their dark green Blue Silver Entanglement, with every swing, signified the death of a demon.
Whether it was a Servant-level demon or a War General Level demon, they couldn't survive ten seconds in their hands.
Yin'er activated her Dark Devour Domain, commanding her dark subjects.
The Ice and Snow Twin Emperors controlled their ultimate ice, continuously freezing demons in large swaths.
When their spirit power was exhausted, Lin Chen would take over. The temperature of his mutated ice magic reached a terrifying negative three hundred degrees Celsius.
Such terrifying low temperatures had reached absolute zero, instantly freezing all Servant-level demons and War General Level demons.
Coupled with the Spirit's enhancement, a simple basic ice magic could freeze a large area!
Ice blue and darkness intertwined, forming a wonderful scene.
Qian Renxue in the air occasionally swung her long sword, catching any stragglers.
Qiu'er acted as a beast-shaped Spirit treasure, providing sustenance for the team.
Occasionally, Commander-level demons would appear and be mercilessly ganged up on. The team's coordination also became increasingly seamless.
Large quantities of remnant souls and Spirit essences were continuously absorbed by Lin Chen's and Qian Renxue's Spirits.
Lin Chen and Qian Renxue were both very excited. Earning money and having Spirit essences to strengthen their star points—why not?
As the Dark Blue Silver Grass consumed more and more energy, they gradually reached saturation. Lin Chen would then collect them into the Spirit World, allowing them to absorb energy and increase their lifespan.
This cycle repeated, never tiring, until Lin Chen's spirit power and magic energy were completely depleted, at which point they would stop and return to the Spirit World to rest.
The surrounding demons were decreasing at an extremely fast rate, but Lin Chen was not worried.
The sea demons were endless. There were two high tides every day, and once the tide rose, the demons would rush onto the shore.
