Looking at the stark naked Liu Zixuan, Bai Jingjing took a few steps back, shielding her body with her hands, afraid Liu Zixuan might do something to her.

Even though she has a seductive nature, she's not that kind of woman.

Liu Zixuan grinned: "Weren't you looking for my phone? I was just helping you get it!"

"But you don't have to be naked, do you?"

"Don't worry, I won't say you took advantage of me. Yesterday I saw you and today you saw me, so we're even!"

Liu Zixuan shot Bai Jingjing a mischievous smile and added, "Were you captivated by my biceps?"

"You really have some thick skin!" Bai Jingjing muttered in annoyance, quickly left her phone number, and then walked away.

Liu Zixuan stood in front of the mirror admiring his fit body and smugly said, "I'm so handsome, yet I'm called thick-skinned! No taste!"

After breakfast, Liu Zixuan and Liu Ruyan drove Bai Jingjing to Yuqing Town, dropped her at the station, and then returned to the village together.

At the break of dawn, the construction workers had already arrived. One group was repairing roads, another was building a clinic and village community center.

Due to the community center renovation, Liu Ruyan had to move her office to Sister Lian's house.

However, Liu Ruyan couldn't sit still. After a short rest at Sister Lian's, she and Liu Zixuan went to the village entrance to watch others repair the road.

After all, this was a service to the village, and as its backbone, they had to oversee it.

"Now the road is being fixed and your clinic is being set up. I should start pondering a big plan." Liu Ruyan muttered, standing at the village entrance.

"What big plan?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Look, the village is all women, lacking labor force. Right now, we can choose one of two paths: either merge with the neighboring village, let their men join our village, marry our women, and build normal families, forming a legitimate village. Otherwise, with time, this village will eventually perish!"

"Or, we can set up a factory or some enterprise to make the village prosperous, attracting men from all around. Ultimately, these women can't stay unmarried forever."

Listening to Liu Ruyan, Liu Zixuan pondered and realized it indeed was the case. The sooner Lingxiu Village becomes better, the sooner he can leave, as he still has the task of finding the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.

Besides, he could tell that Liu Ruyan would eventually leave Lingxiu Village too. So, better to build it up sooner.

"I believe it's better to be self-reliant. That way, the men who are attracted here will certainly be better."

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly: "Yes, so now we need to think about what kind of enterprise we can set up in the village. Since it's all women, it certainly can't be hard labor."

"Do you have any ideas?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"I've researched a bit. The women's market is currently the largest in the world. We can tap into that, like perfume, cosmetics, or some specific women's products." Liu Ruyan shared her thoughts.

Liu Zixuan thought for a moment and smiled, "What you say is right, but making perfumes is costly, and cosmetics, even more so, require expertise. Since we're focusing on the women's market, why not start with something simpler?"

"What simple thing?" Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, thinking Liu Zixuan must have a good idea.

Liu Zixuan snapped his fingers and smiled, "It's simple. Start with innerwear!"

"Innerwear!" Liu Ruyan's eyes widened, slightly blushing.

Liu Zixuan shrugged; "That's right, innerwear. Think about it, making innerwear is much simpler than cosmetics and stuff. Once we have the foundation, we can also pivot to cosmetics. For now, innerwear is the best, just need some fabric!"

"But the innerwear market is crowded now; countless people are doing it." Liu Ruyan muttered.

Liu Zixuan smiled meaningfully: "Don't forget, I am a National Doctor. With me around, we can definitely make unique innerwear!"

"Like what?"

"Like bras that automatically enhance busts."

"Impossible!"

Liu Ruyan said in disbelief.

Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously: "Just wait and see. This is a minor issue for me!"

"Then make a sample first. I'll...I'll find someone to try it!"

"You can try it yourself."

Liu Zixuan gave a cheeky smile.

"Shameless!" Liu Ruyan glared at him and turned her head. She really didn't believe Liu Zixuan could do it.

Usually, when she sees such ads on TV, she finds them intriguing, but after researching, finds them all scams.

How could a piece of clothing have such an effect?

So, she really wanted to see how Liu Zixuan would manage!

"Liu Ruyan! I finally found you!"

While the two were chatting, suddenly, a Honda Accord drove in from the side, parked in front of them, and a head popped out, exclaiming in surprise.

Liu Ruyan looked towards the source of the voice. Opposite was a man in formal attire, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking scholarly, with a gentle smile on his face.

"So ugly!" Liu Ruyan blurted out.

Liu Zixuan frowned, "So ugly?"

"Ahem, you're still the same, calling me by my nickname."

The man Liu Ruyan called ugly stepped down, adjusted his glasses, and smiled, "In front of outsiders, better call me Hao Shuai!"

Upon hearing this, a few black lines appeared on Liu Zixuan's forehead.

This guy's name is Hao Shuai, but his nickname is Ugly.

Liu Ruyan chuckled, "I'm used to it. Why are you here?"

"I was handling matters in the city and happened to run into Bai Jingjing. She said you were here."

Hao Shuai walked up to Liu Ruyan and then looked at Liu Zixuan: "And this is?"

"I'm her husband!" Liu Zixuan pointed at Liu Ruyan!

"You're married?" Hao Shuai widened his eyes.

"Don't listen to him. He's just the doctor from our village." Liu Ruyan glared at Liu Zixuan, then introduced him, "This is Hao Shuai. He's my..."

Before Liu Ruyan could finish, Hao Shuai stepped forward and introduced himself, "Hao Shuai, Liu Ruyan's pursuer!"

Liu Zixuan watched as Hao Shuai extended a gentlemanly hand towards him, and he grinned, "We're rivals in love, no need for formalities!"

"Then I won't be polite."

Hao Shuai changed his demeanor, taking back the warm smile, replaced by a disdainful look: "You don't deserve Liu Ruyan, so leave her as soon as possible."
