She almost forgot the saying “money
y talks,” calling a helicopter to pick herbs for Ken was just a matter of a sentence.
But wasn’t the helicopter a bit too quick? It seemed as if it had been waiting
What Melody didn’t know was that the helicopter had indeed been on its way here for a while. Ken saw Melody hadn’t returned and, fearing that he and the driver wouldn’t be able to find her, he directly ordered the helicopter to come over.
The original intention was to find someone. He never thought it would come in handy now.
With the help of the helicopter, the whole Chinaberry Herb was pulled out without a single hair harmed and carefully preserved.
“Anything else you need?” Ken asked.
“Well, it’s not here. I made a reservation at Herbathrive last night. We can just drive there to pick it up,” Melody replied.
Ken said, “Okay, let’s get on the plane.”
“Oh.” Money was really good. She also had to work hard to earn money.
Firstly, to gather enough money to buy herbs to treat the poison on her face, and secondly, money would give her the ability to seek revenge.
With the helicopter, Melody saved herself from the trouble of descending the mountain. She flew out of the mountain directly by helicopter and then changed to a car to go to Herbathrive.
As she watched the Deer Mountain getting further and further away, she suddenly remembered something from her previous life.
.
In her previous life, Ulric said he bought this mountain to build a children’s amusement park for her, but in reality, taking over this piece of land relied on the connections she had accumulated through her medical skills.
In other words, Ulric used her connections to buy himself a mountain. Yet, she still thought Ulric was romantic and gentle.
The children’s amusement park was never built in the end. Later, because of policy reasons, this piece of land turned from a suburb into a key industrial park, skyrocketing in value. Ulric also made a fortune with this piece of land and gained Mr. Swanson’s attention.
Thinking of this, Melody turned to look at Ken, unable to help but asked, “Ken, how much money do you have?”
Perhaps her question was too straightforward and easy to misunderstand, Ken, rarely, looked puzzled for a moment, then furrowed his handsome brows and asked, “Why are you asking this? You’re really strange.”
Ken thought inwardly, “Other women like money and vanity, but they intentionally hide it. She, on the other hand, straightforwardly asked me how much money I had. She is indeed unique, making it hard to dislike her. But… she’s still very annoying”
He least liked women who only saw profit and money in everything.
“What’s strange about me..” Melody had no idea what Ken was thinking, but she realized that her question seemed to be easily misunderstood, so she changed her words. “What I mean is, if you have enough money, buy this mountain. Don’t look at it as a barren mountain, it’s on the edge of Silverlake, at the border of Silverlake and the neighboring province. But I have a feeling that it will prosper in
the future.”

Ken didn’t speak, but the driver couldn’t help but interject, “Miss Melody, you may not be familiar with Silverlake, but usually, there are people here, and it’s half an hour away from the nearest downtown area. It may take another twenty or thirty years for this place to

Melody wanted to say, “It won’t take twenty or thirty years, it will appreciate in two years.” But if she said that, everyone would think she was crazy or start to doubt her. So she just chuckled.

However, Ken said, “What you said actually makes sense.”
Me? Or the driver?” Melody was confused.
“This place has a good terrain and is suitable for industrial park development. If this mountain is taken as the center, the surrounding large plots of land are worth buying.” Ken said, looking out of the car window, his expression serious and earnest.
When it comes to business, he actually looks quite decent, very much like the cold and domineering CEO in novels. And in fact, he is, calling himself the rich young master barn with a silver spoon in his mouth. But… would he really listen to me and buy this mountain?‘ Thinking this, Melody blurted out, “Are you going to buy it?”
Only to see Ken turn his head and say, “If the herbs in the box can really cure my grandmother’s illness, I can promise to buy this mountain and give it to you.”
“Give… it to me?” asked Melody.
“You don’t want it?” Ken gave her a sideways glance. “But if you take this mountain, you can’t have anything else. For example, a marriage

She did want these things, but she wanted to rely on her own abilities to get them, rather than begging Ken for them like a beggar. She had
her pride.
“Let’s talk about it later.” She leaned against the car window and closed her eyes to rest.
After experiencing a life–threatening situation and climbing the mountain for over an hour, plus she only fell asleep at five in the morning, drowsiness came over her again.
Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
In fact, Melody had always had trouble falling asleep, but somehow, with Ken by her side,she fell asleep particularly easily.
The driver listened to the conversation between the two of them behind him, and while driving, he secretly pondered whether he should buy some land nearby.
This was the suburbs, buying a piece of land costs only a few thousand dollars, at most, it wouldn’t exceed two hundred thousand dollars. II, Ken and Melody were right, there was a possibility of appreciation, he seemed like he could invest a bit.
With this in mind, when they stopped at the gas station to refuel, the driver started contacting friends in the area to see which plot of land could be purchased.
The

But the driver persisted, and finally got the contact information of a local farmer.
The farmer was in need of money. As soon as he heard someone wanted to buy his barren land, he immediately agreed at a price of ten

thousand dollars.

Ten thousand dollars was half a year’s salary for the driver. While it hurt to transfer the money, he gritted his teeth and did it.
The driver didn’t know that his action could benefit him and his descendants for three generations.
After a short wait in line, the car was refueled and continued on.
Before long, the car stopped at the entrance of Herbathrive.
It was around eleven in the morning now. Herbathrive had just finished receiving a large group of people. At the moment, there were only a few scattered customers inquiring about the prices and quantities of herbs. There were also some who came to buy rat poison but were persuaded by the store clerks to leave.
“Hello.” Melody found a clerk as she entered. She had seen this clerk hundreds of times in her previous life, and now she looked so familiar, so she instinctively said, “Hey, David. Could you please get the herbs I ordered last night?”
The clerk named David Marrow was stunned, “How do you k
know my name?”
Melody was also taken aback, but quickly reacted and pointed to his work badge, saying, “Isn’t it written on there?”
“Oh…” David didn’t think much of it and nodded, “I see. What’s your name? When did you order the herbs? Did you receive an order number on your phone?”
“I did.” Melody handed over her phone to confirm with him.
After checking David realized, “So it’s you, the customer who placed the order at four in the morning.”
At this moment, Ken walked over and, upon hearing this, looked at Melody somewhat unexpectedly. ‘So, she was sleeping all the way back and forth because she was thinking about the prescription last night…
