The village party secretary quickly looked at Chen Yifei and said, "We don't know. We share the same thoughts as these rice farmers and firmly stand on Chen Yifei's side."

"Whatever he says goes."

Chen Yifei looked at the bureau chief and said with a smile, "No need, we're not selling."

"I won't sell it if it's too cheap."

"..." Wang Wufei's expression immediately turned sour.

He really didn't expect this outcome.

Didn't these people all say their rice was going to rot in the fields? They just couldn't sell it.

Didn't they say that Wenshui County went from being a model village for development to one that is now suffering terribly?

He deliberately came here to portray himself as a savior.

People say that a new broom sweeps clean, right? That's exactly what he's planning to do; starting here is his work plan.

The main point is that if it's considered a welfare benefit, he, as the bureau chief here, will be praised and commended by the city and county governments.

Liang Chengyi might have been hesitant to take the job before because he was about to be promoted. Now he's here to break with convention, to use this as a perk, and also as a way to curry favor with his superiors. Having a title makes it very convenient to give gifts.

So...that's quite correct.

Who would have thought that Chen Yifei, whom everyone said was very capable, was actually this capable? And this arrogant?

"What's wrong? Comrade Chen Yifei, what are you going to do with the villagers? Are you just going to watch them starve like this?"

"no."

Chen Yifei said, "I've contacted foreign investors to see if we can export our products directly. That would be a pretty good approach."

After hearing this, no one around dared to speak.

"I think going abroad is a better option. This is my own resource. What do you think, Director?"

Wang Wufei was a little unsure how to express himself, feeling conflicted and as if he had been subjected to all sorts of unpleasant words.

Although Chen Yifei didn't say anything, Wang Wufei felt that he had been scolded.

"Comrade Chen Yifei, why didn't you report this situation? You could have asked us for help later."

Chen Yifei sneered: "This is the Agriculture Bureau, and yours is the Grain Bureau. Your director told me before that he wouldn't interfere in our affairs."

"So I handed it over to the Agriculture Bureau. I am the director of the Agriculture Bureau, so it's not a problem for me to report it to a higher level. But we are in the same unit, and people in the same unit don't have the right to know!"

"Comrade Chen Yifei, that's not the logic I'm talking about. Why are you always so argumentative, sharp-tongued, and always saying things that benefit yourself?"

Chen Yifei was somewhat surprised: "If I don't speak in a way that benefits me, how can I speak? Am I supposed to side with you?"

He felt he wasn't crazy or sick. He thought that even if someone like him was mentally ill, he could ask why. He would also be curious and ask why.

"..."

There's nothing to say.

Having nothing more to say, Wang Wufei stormed off.

Upon hearing about this, Wang Jianshe immediately ran after Wang Wufei's car, and only caught up with the car after running a long distance, where he had a heart-to-heart talk with Wang Wufei.

Of course, Chen Yifei knew nothing about these things, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

He no longer belongs to the kind of people who should be doing things in this era.

These people's affairs have absolutely nothing to do with him.

After the bureau chief left.

The big guys all gathered around.

"Really? Chen Yifei, are there really foreign comrades coming here to buy things?"

"That's great! Does that mean we can sell it for more money?"

"Are they Japanese devils? We won't sell to those Japanese devils, we'd rather they eat our asses!"

Chen Yifei smiled and said, "It's not the Japanese devils, it's just ordinary trade, it has nothing to do with them."

"Don't worry, everyone. Even if the Japanese devils come to confiscate our stuff, we'll make several times more money than them. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Alright!"

"Alright, Chen Yifei, you do have some ability."

"Alright, everyone follows you. Whatever you say goes. We don't care about anything else, we're all sticking with you."

"..."

Chen Yifei was also grateful for their trust.

"It's okay, it's all the same to me. As long as everyone is willing to trust me and walk with me, that's enough. Unity is more important than anything else."

In fact, Chen Yifei did not expect it to go so smoothly. Since the bureau chief was there, many people would trust the bureau chief more. It would be normal for them to sell all their good rice at a low price.

But no, everyone was willing to believe in him, and working together was the best thing.

After calming down, he told the village secretary one by one. The village secretary said, "Yifei, as long as you think it's good, we'll listen to you. You can leave the task of explaining things to everyone and calming people down to your dad and me."

"You've really been working hard these past few days, go home and get some rest."

"Isn't it time for your college entrance exam? There are only two weeks left. You and Runqing both have to take the exam. There are only the two of you in our village. It seems Wang Jianshe has also registered."

"Take care and rest well during the exam. We'll see if we can cook and bring you food."

Wang Tiezhu smiled and said, "How about we boil two eggs and give you a sausage? Perfect!"

The village secretary said helplessly, "One hundred points is not enough. You need several hundred points for the college entrance examination. You should be celebrating Yifei getting a hundred points."

"They'll be amazing at everything and become the pride of our village."
