Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Arrival at Phoenix Mountain

“I know I’m very handsome, but you don’t have to keep staring at me.”

Song Shiyu’s voice rang out once again, jolting Chi Youyou back to her senses. She pursed her lips with effort and said, “I like looking.”

If this were before, she would have already looked away, but now that they’ve spent more time together, she’s no longer polite with him.

Isn’t it okay to look at a handsome guy?

Song Shiyu’s brows subtly twitched, and after a few seconds, he spoke lightly, “It’s okay, but you can’t look for free.”

“You’re such a capitalist!”

Chi Youyou couldn’t help but be surprised. She thought Song Shiyu would say something else, but instead, he came out with this astonishing line—charging for looking at his face!

“Thank you for the compliment. I am the number one capitalist in the Imperial City.”

She said that, but he wasn’t annoyed. “Besides, I’m your boss now.”

Tsk!

Chi Youyou felt like rolling her eyes. If he didn’t mention it, she would have forgotten.

“You asked Jiang An to load a lot of stuff in the car. Don’t tell me it’s that product!”

Chi Youyou had signed a contract with the Song Family, but it hasn’t been officially launched yet.

When Song Shiyu heard her words, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved up.

Got it.

She instantly understood!

Truly an evil capitalist, never forgetting to exploit her even on a trip!

“Phoenix Mountain is a great testing site.”

Humph, no kidding!

And it’s a free testing site!

Over the past few days, she had been looking at the product manual that Amber gave her. It’s a smart device used in agriculture that can monitor the growth of crops, provide feedback daily, and has a mobile app for real-time monitoring and alerts.

Compared to the rural areas, this one is too advanced.

Speaking of this, Chi Youyou couldn’t help but admire them for having prepared a universal version.

Considering that farmland might not have WiFi coverage and farmers might not use software, there’s a simpler version.

Solar-powered, placed in the field, it can monitor crop growth, soil conditions, etc., and if there’s a problem, it will alert and provide solutions in a user-friendly mode.

In short, it’s ready to use, simple, and user-friendly.

Apart from smart agriculture, they also improved some farming tools, creating a farm tool package as a complementary product to the smart agriculture device.

It can significantly reduce manual labor and assist farmers in better farming.

On this point, Chi Youyou supported it with both hands.

By the time they reached Phoenix Mountain, it was almost 12 o’clock. The mountain roads at night are hard to navigate, delaying them by half an hour.

The village was very quiet, and since Chi Youyou’s family didn’t live in the village, they didn’t stop there. They bypassed it and parked at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

Chi Youyou’s home was halfway up the mountain, quite a distance from the village, and villagers rarely came by.

Moreover, most of the villagers were elderly and children, each minding their own small plot of land. Most of the time, it was her family who went down to share their crops with the villagers.

Song Shiyu was quite curious if the villagers knew about the uniqueness of the Chi family, like raising a tiger as a pet. Weren’t they curious?

Of course, he didn’t ask this. By the time they reached home, everyone was exhausted.

Chi Youyou looked at the dark house, feeling a bit empty inside.

No matter how late she came home before, there would always be a light on. Now it felt so unfamiliar.

“Let’s go inside and clean up a bit. It’s been a tiring day on the road.”

Song Shiyu seemed to see through her little thoughts.

The little girl, cunning and competitive, but at the end of the day, still a little girl.

Gu Xintang had woken up from a nap and was incredibly energetic, filled with curiosity about this fresh-air place.

The moonlight was spread on the ground, vaguely illuminating the hillside. As the little house lit up, the hillside immediately brightened.

The previously quiet hillside suddenly filled with sounds. Snow seemed to have heard something, becoming alert.

Mimi looked eager, flicking her tail at Snow’s face, wondering why he was so jittery!

Besides Snow being tense, Jiang An was also quite nervous. Perhaps it was his imagination, but he felt that something was approaching.

“Bear… bear!”

Jiang An, like Snow, stared in one direction. As he looked, a shadow suddenly entered his gaze. Not seeing it was fine; seeing it made his face instantly turn pale!

What the heck!

A bear!

Much taller than him!

It looked like it could slap him to death with one paw!

Snow also saw it clearly, whimpering in low growls. Meanwhile, Mimi jumped at it directly.

Jiang An almost got a fright. Seeing Mimi jump over, but not biting it and instead acting coy, refreshed his worldview once again.

“Zongzong!”

Gu Xintang also saw the big bear, her eyes sparkling. Before Jiang An could shout, she already pulled on Chi Youyou’s clothes.

Chi Youyou was busy checking things and didn’t notice, but upon hearing Jiang An’s exclamation, she turned.

Seeing the bear coming, she was thrilled and dashed over.

“But… Miss Chi…”

This…

Was it that he hadn’t seen the world enough?

Chi Youyou leaped into the big bear’s embrace, and the words “Beauty and the Beast” suddenly popped into Jiang An’s mind.

“I missed you, Zongzong. Did you miss me?”

The big bear seemed to understand, nodding and scratching its head, looking a bit silly, but it also seemed pretty happy.

Incredibly, you could tell.

Jiang An only felt himself getting shocked again.

Compared to Jiang An, Song Shiyu and Gu Xintang’s reactions were much better!

Gu Xintang was excited, childlike in spirit, grabbing Chi Zaozao to take her over, wanting to greet Mr. Bear.

Song Shiyu, however, looked expressionlessly at the information he had just received.

“Let me introduce you all, this is Zongzong; he’s like my big brother who watched me grow up, and he’s probably two years older than me～”

After Chi Youyou introduced everyone to Zongzong, she also introduced Zongzong to each person, including Snow.

Zongzong seemed to understand, looking at each one of them in turn.

“Mom and dad are so bad, leaving you here to guard the house!”

“Hoo”

Zongzong growled, as if saying ’not bad’, and rubbed Chi Youyou’s small head.

He really seemed almost human!

Except he couldn’t talk.

Jiang An was stunned once again.

As he looked at the moonlit Phoenix Mountain, an unusual feeling grew inside him. He felt that this trip to Phoenix Mountain was definitely not simple!

He could gain a lot of knowledge!

His anticipation was not in vain.

Fortunately, there were four rooms. Chi Youyou and Gu Xintang slept in her parents’ room, Chi Zaozao in his own room, Song Shiyu in Chi Youyou’s room, and Jiang An in the guest room.

Apart from Zongzong’s greeting, everyone fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

At the crack of dawn the next day, they were awakened by various sounds!
