Here, Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to drive down the gravel path for another six or seven hundred meters, and they finally saw a walled off area at the end of the road.
There were two iron gates in the middle. There was a sign at the top of the gates which said ‘Happy Bowl Farm’. There were also a series of signs hanging on the side of the gate:
[Modern Wheat Research Base]
[Camellia Planting Base]
[New Seedling Cultivation Research Center]
[Ecological Farm Experimental Area] …
… …
[Wow! It looks so awesome!]
[Are you so awesome?]
The audience in the livestream channel sighed.
… …
Lin Cheng couldn’t see what the people in the livestream channel are saying about the farm, but…
If he hadn’t noticed the obvious rust marks on the farm gate and the overgrown weeds that had not been managed for a long time, he might have also believed that this farm was pretty good.
Lin Cheng parked the car by the gates and dialed the office phone number of the farm. Someone finally picked up, and soon, people came and opened the farm gates.
Inside, a man in a suit and wearing leather shoes stepped out, followed by two assistants.
“President,”1 Xu Yi came forward to greet Lin Cheng.
The greeting of ‘President’ surprised everyone in the livestream channel.
[Is this person a staff member hired by the program team, or is he an employee of the farm itself? He called Lin Cheng ‘President’ as soon as he came up?]
[Haha, they must have asked him to call Lin Cheng ‘President’. This guy got into the role so quickly I almost didn’t have time to react.]
[There was no sense of hesitation in this scene. With this expression and attitude, I have to say, this person’s acting skills are great.]
[That’s right, I almost thought Lin Cheng was really the boss here.]
… …
If he knew the audience’s evaluation of his debut, Xu Yi would definitely shout ‘You have misunderstood!’
It was only that he had called out that title too many times and had already gotten used to saying it to greet Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng stared at Xu Yi for a moment. When the man lowered his head slightly because of the pressure, Lin Cheng said, “No need to call me ‘President’.”
Hearing this, Xu Yi was startled for a moment before he realized that Lin Cheng identity for this week was the operator of this farm, so it did indeed seem inappropriate to call him President.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi coughed and changed his words: “Boss.”2
“I am the administrator of this farm, Xu Yi,” Xu Yi introduced himself seriously.
Immediately, Xu Yi’s eyes fell on Lin Momo next to Lin Cheng.
Facing Lin Momo, Xu Yi showed a kind smile and said, “Good evening, Miss Momo.”
“Hello, Uncle Xu Yi, you can just call me ‘Momo’.”
“This…” Xu Yi was stunned, unsure how to respond, until he felt Lin Cheng’s stare, and he changed his words and called out Lin Momo’s name.
“Let’s go in,” Lin Cheng said.
“Okay.” Xu Yi arranged for one of the assistants who came with him to drive Lin Cheng’s car and luggage to the hotel housing area first.
Xu Yi himself took Lin Cheng and Lin Momo into the farm using the sightseeing shuttle.
“This farm was established years ago. It covers an area of approximately 570,000 square meters. It has a resort accommodation area, farmland, fish ponds, breeding farms, interactive entertainment areas, small playground, and small zoo…”, Xu Yi began to introduce the farm he will manage to Lin Cheng.
Looking at the huge farm area around her, Lin Momo couldn’t believe her eyes.
This place was really big. Just looking at it like this, it looked bigger than the school she used to go to. In fact, it could fit several of her schools put together!
Lin Momo secretly tugged at Lin Cheng’s sleeve. Seeing Lin Cheng lowering his head and looking at her, Lin Momo came close to his ear and asked in a low voice, “Dad, do all of these belong to our family?”
… …
Although she whispered, Lin Momo’s words were still transmitted to the livestream channel word for word.
Hearing this, the audience was happy: [Haha, I’m laughing to death, Momo hasn’t adapted yet to how her idea of a ‘farmer’ has changed.
[Get rich overnight and feel overwhelmed.]

Hearing Lin Momo’s words, Xu Yi here couldn’t help but laugh, nodded, and affirmed, “Yes, from this road here, this entire area is the scope of the farm.”
Hearing this, Lin Momo lowered her head slightly. Her face did not show the ecstatic expression that everyone thought but instead showed a distressed look.
“It’s so big…” Such a large area of land for farming. How could she and her dad finish working it?
Lin Momo felt very worried.
Xu Yi, who was next to her, didn’t notice the change on Lin Momo’s face, thinking that she was still surprised at how big this place was. He smiled again and continued to introduce the farm.
“The place where reception, accommodation, and office logistics are located is at the end. There are villas, small bungalows, and low-rise accommodations for single rooms. It’s quite similar to resorts. There are entertainment facilities and areas for sightseeing and playing around.
“The farming and breeding base is located entirely in the peripheral area of the farm,” Xu Yi pointed in the direction of the surroundings, “For example, the left hand side we are passing by now is the planting area of the farm. There are food crops, melons, and vegetables. Guests who come here for vacation can experience it hands on for a short time, and the crops grown will be sold.
“A little further on is the breeding farm…”
“Are there many animals raised in the breeding farm?” Lin Momo asked curiously.
“Yes, we raise some poultry animals,” Xu Yi nodded.
Lin Momo couldn’t help but ask again, “What animals are there?”
“This…” Xu Yi thought for a while and said, “It’s just pigs and chickens.”
The breeding farm should have more or less these things, Xu Yi muttered secretly in his heart. He really just said it casually thinking that if he mention these animals, it shouldn’t be wrong.
Lin Momo asked again, “Are there any little ducks?”
“Yes…” Probably.
“Then are there any little rabbits? Are there any cows? What about the sheep?”
Xu Yi: “…” Help!
He only came here one day earlier than Lin Cheng’s team. He spent his time hurriedly sorting out the general situation of the farm. He already did a good job with the time he had. How could he have had time to look at the small animals raised in the farm one by one?
“They have it…”
Before Xu Yi could finish his words, the driver in front finally couldn’t stand listening anymore and said, “There are not many people taking care of the breeding farm here, and it’s not running anymore. Where would the rabbits and cows come from?”
The previous boss bought a few goats and black pigs to attract customers, as well as a few alpacas from the zoo. They couldn’t sell them or get rid of them, so they just left them here.
“There are a bunch of chickens and ducks, but I don’t know if they have run away or how many are left with no one taking care of them.”
Xu Yi: “…” His face hurt a little.
… …
[Hahaha, I tried my best, but I couldn’t hold it back. This administrator is so funny.]
[Slapped in the face by his own employee.]
[I can feel his embarrassment through the screen. ]
[Speaking of which… why does it feel like this administrator is not familiar with the business?]
… …
At this time, Lin Cheng relieved Xu Yi of his embarrassment.
“Let’s go to the office first.”
“Okay.”
