Gu Fangxia's face flushed red in an instant. Indeed, who had she heard it from... "My college classmates mentioned it, they are all married, and they complain about it when we gather..." Gu Fangxia's voice was so faint that if Xia Liu hadn't had his strong hearing, he wouldn't have been able to make out what she was saying. "Alright, I think I get it, you just don't believe in the effects of the medicinal wine, right?" "Yes, after all, there are too many fakes out there." "Do you remember the Beauty Mud?" Xia Liu didn't explain too much; the Beauty Mud was enough to stupefy the girl. Yes, when Xia Liu mentioned the Beauty Mud, Gu Fangxia's pupils contracted suddenly. She had just forgotten that the miraculous Beauty Mud was created by Xia Liu. The Beauty Mud showed results in minutes, and how magical that was, only those who had used it knew. Now that Xia Liu said his medicinal wine had enhancing properties, those who knew him would never doubt it. "Boss Xia, I also want to invest, do you think that's possible?" After being silent for a while, Gu Fangxia's eyes sparkled with brilliance. This medicinal wine would definitely be as popular as the Beauty Mud nationwide; if she could invest in it, she would definitely make a fortune. The reason she had this idea was thanks to Xia Liu's shareholding system. He had divided only a hundred shares, and one could buy one percent of a share for fifty thousand yuan, which was definitely a bargain. The future of the medicinal wine was right in front of her, and Gu Fangxia did not want to miss this opportunity. "Sister Gu, you're not joking, are you? This medicinal wine is just a small business compared to the projects you do; they're not even close." "I'm not joking, I really do want to invest, it's not expensive anyway." Gu Fangxia looked very serious; after understanding the situation, she was indeed interested in joining. "That's not possible, because you're not from Osmanthus Village, so I'm sorry," Xia Liu said after a moment of silence, having no choice but to refuse with a wave of his hand. "Ah! So how can I become a person from Osmanthus Village?" Gu Fangxia was suddenly anxious. This medicinal wine could definitely make big money, and she couldn't miss this opportunity. "Osmanthus Village does not accept new household registrations from outsiders, but if you want to become someone from Osmanthus Village, that's easy..." "Quick, tell me how!" Seeing Xia Liu pause, Gu Fangxia grabbed his arm and hurriedly pressed for an answer. "By adding your name to my household registration book," Xia Liu said with a blink, implying something deeper. "Snap!" Gu Fangxia's expression instantly froze; adding her own name to Xia Liu's household registration book meant there was only one premise. Marriage! The news was too sudden, and Gu Fangxia took several deep breaths. It took her a while to calm down; no, even though her expression became composed, her heart still flipped. Xia Liu was actually talking about marriage to her, and after she understood, for a moment, she truly fantasized about the scene of registering their marriage with Xia Liu. This was too scary; she had to stay calm, she must stay calm! "Ah haha, Sister Gu, I was just joking with you." Watching Gu Fangxia stay dazed for a long time, Xia Liu finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You jerk! Go to hell!" Gu Fangxia glared at Xia Liu, then hurriedly ran towards the construction site. "Uh oh, are you mad? No way, did you really want to register a marriage with me?" Watching Gu Fangxia's fleeing figure, Xia Liu was plunged into doubt for a moment. Actually, he was really just joking; getting married? He didn't even have an ID card, let alone a household registration book. "I need to find someone to get an ID card; it's always inconvenient to be out without one." Speaking of the ID card, Xia Liu had an idea. Before, he had been to Binlai City several times, if not for Liu Lanxin, he might have had to drive back home overnight. Without an ID card, and not knowing the hotel owner, he couldn't even rent a room. Currently, Zhang Xiaoxue and Huang Xue were collecting money, so Xia Liu had time to stroll around the villa area. From the beach, he could see many workers bustling about. A few villas had already had their models built but were not yet decorated, with a layer of netting surrounding the exterior. The most eye-catching would have to be the villa standing on the edge. It was halfway up the hill, with a low cliff about ten meters from the front gate of the villa, below which were the rolling waves. There were no other buildings surrounding this villa. And it had been constructed upon Xia Liu's request. This was the area with the best location, where countless beautiful sceneries could be seen from the second floor. There was no mistake, living in such a house would surely make one's daily mood excellent. Resisting the urge to go up for a closer look, Xia Liu headed back the way he came. By the time he returned home, Huang Xue and Zhang Xiaoxue were bundling up cash. Bright red banknotes were generously spread out on the table. Xia Liu had long since grown accustomed to this sight, as had the two women. After giving a few instructions, Xia Liu went to Li Zhi's home. Soon after, he brought Li Dazhuang to the back of the village, close to the mountainous area. Xia Liu intended to hand over the management of the distillery to Li Dazhuang; discussing site selection and construction was a matter of mutual respect. After half a day, Xia Liu and Li Dazhuang finally settled on a site. Since the distillery was essentially a village enterprise, Li Zhi had also said that they absolutely could not charge for the land. Before the contract with Liu Lanxin was up, Xia Liu continued to discuss the distillery with the villagers. Following everyone's suggestions and guidance, Xia Liu drew up a detailed design. The distillery didn't cover a very large area, about ten acres, which Xia Liu had decided upon for the construction of an activity area. For processing and brewing alone, a dozen square meters would suffice. Since the distillery was planned to be operated by the villagers, all the necessary equipment had to be in place. For instance, they would definitely need to rest if they got tired. If they worked for a long time, they would certainly need to exercise. Thus, Xia Liu planned to use a few acres to set up exercise equipment and a relaxation area. After completing the design, Xia Liu found Gu Fangxia; she was the definite choice for overseeing the construction. However, Gu Fangxia was currently busy with the villa being built around the clock, so someone else would have to handle the distillery. What satisfied Xia Liu was that Gu Fangxia helped him get in touch with someone. The current setup was very simple. Just build a canopy and surround it with dust-proof netting. It might be a bit rudimentary, but it was efficient. Xia Liu confirmed that as soon as he went to keep his appointment with Liu Lanxin, he would have to start brewing upon his return. As for another brewing idea, Xia Liu planned to discuss it with everyone after the first batch of blended drinks was ready. After all, brewing and processing were vastly different; the production process alone would involve numerous steps, and it certainly couldn't keep up with Tianluo Pharmaceutical's sales. Of course, one couldn't rely on others forever; to ensure a steady stream, one needed to have one's own products, one's own sales channels, one's own company! Finally, the day of the appointment arrived, and as usual, Xia Liu was about to drive to Binlai City. But he never expected to receive an unexpected call from Liu Lanxin...
