Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 227: 127, sudden intelligence! Lin Mo was so frightened that he trembled all over!_4

“`

Everything he had now was essentially a collection of fine pieces; even the cheapest was roughly worth several hundred thousand, if not over a million.

Although there were people with a net worth of over ten million in the county town, there were definitely not many who could casually fork over several hundred thousand or over a million to buy antiques.

And there were even fewer people who pursued antiques.

His hometown wasn’t Rakshasa City where the rich were everywhere, so the location of the antique shop became extremely important.

But the problem was, Lin Mo never really planned to make money by running an antique shop.

The reason for opening an antique shop was merely to add another layer to his identity.

That way, even if he became wealthy later, the source of his money would be justifiable.

“Wife, antique shops are quite special; they’re not like clothing or food places that don’t require much foot traffic or prime locations. We could even open in the village, and there wouldn’t be an issue, as long as you have good items. Antique enthusiasts from all over the country would come looking for them,”

“The most important thing is the eye to spot an undervalued antique!”

Lin Mo explained with a smile.

“I see…”

Li Jinwen finally understood.

She wasn’t very knowledgeable about antiques, but she felt that Lin Mo made a lot of sense.

Immediately after, she asked, “And what about that private school you mentioned before, are you really going to do that as well?”

“Do we actually have… that much money now?”

She had lost all concept of how much money Lin Mo actually had.

She had never asked about the specific figures either.

“Well, let’s just play it by ear…”

“Building a school isn’t that easy, you know, it requires a lot of money and consideration of various aspects.”

Lin Mo’s plan was actually just preliminary.

Education, healthcare, technology…

He really did have some ideas about building his own stronghold back in his hometown.

That way, even without stepping out of his house, he could enjoy top resources in all aspects.

And furthermore, it would elevate his social status.

This idea came to him after he got to know Chen Shanhe more closely.

Chen Shanhe was exactly like that, owning several hospitals, schools, breeding bases, and research centers around Rakshasa City, forming a system like the Samsung Empire in Kore Country.

But Lin Mo also knew that these things were not so easy to accomplish and required long-term planning.

Moreover, the most pressing issue at the moment was to resolve Chen Shanhe’s trouble.

Without solving Chen Shanhe’s problems, all plans were just empty talk.

“Mm…”

Li Jinwen held Lin Mo’s hand tightly, nodding thoughtfully, “That’s true, building a school must be difficult.”

“Of course, it’s tough, but doesn’t everyone need to have dreams? I want to build not just a school, but also a hospital, a research center… to create an empire of our own!”

“Haha… If I really pull this off, I’d have to dedicate a whole page to myself in the village’s genealogy book!”

Lin Mo said, laughing.

“Look how pleased you are with yourself!”

Li Jinwen teased Lin Mo with an elbow nudge and then, with a serious tone, encouraged him: “But husband, I believe in you, whatever you set out to do, you will surely succeed!”

“Hahahaha!!”

Lin Mo laughed heartily,

As they walked, they planned, basking in the future together.

Before long, the family of three returned home.

The parents, in-laws, and Zhang Li were busy in the yard preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner, some handling chicken and duck, others washing vegetables, creating a lively atmosphere.

Lin Mo naturally joined in the chores.

Li Jinwen, along with Xu Qin, taught Lin Siyu how to make dumplings.

Although everyone repeatedly tried to get Zhang Li to rest, in the end, he found a chair, sat beside the sink, and took on washing the vegetables.

Everyone chatted while they worked, and around two in the afternoon, Village Chief Lin Xueyi came into the yard with four or five village officials.

Lin Xueyi said with a smile, “Changshui, sister-in-law, you’re all busy.”

As he got closer, he commented on the food on the chopping board, “Wow, I reckon your family will have the most lavish New Year’s Eve dinner in Zhangzhuang. It’s so tempting that I want to come and try it out.”

Seeing the village chief and officials visiting, Lin Changshui stood up, wiping his hands with an apron, and said, “Xueyi, if you would come to our house for dinner, I’d be more than happy.”

“Why don’t you all stay for dinner tonight? Mo brought back a few good bottles of wine, and I can’t drink them anyway. It’d be a waste to leave them.”

The other village officials chuckled along.

Village Chief Lin Xueyi waved his hands and said, “Let’s not, if I don’t go home tonight, my wife might think I’ve gone to my mistress’s house for the New Year. After the next couple of days when we’re less busy, I’ll definitely have a good drink with Changshui.”

“Now that you’ve moved back here, we need to keep in touch more often. We didn’t catch up much when you were away.”

The village chief was in his fifties, slightly overweight, and quite an eloquent speaker.

After the pleasantries, he got to the point, looking at Lin Mo with a smile, “Mo, today is New Year’s Eve, and there’re some things I shouldn’t really bring up, but your uncle has encountered some difficulties, and there’s no one else to turn to but you.”

Oh?

Was he getting to the heart of the matter already?

Actually, from the moment the village chief and the officials entered the yard, Lin Mo had already guessed what they were here for.

Without a doubt, it was about seeking sponsorship for tonight’s fireworks competition.

“Uncle Xueyi, you make it sound so distant,” Lin Mo laughed, “Just speak directly, I’ll definitely help if I can.”

Village Chief Lin Xueyi nodded and said, “Your words warm my heart more than offering me a bowl of dumplings. It’s not really about me, it’s about the whole Zhangzhuang.”
