Qin Suyun nodded. She didn't expect that her words really hit the nail on the head. Looking at the other person's shining eyes, Qin Suyun felt that this matter had a chance!

Although she knew that those sections of road would most likely be damaged again after a future earthquake, she really had no other choice. She couldn't even tell Zhao Xingguo about these things in advance.

Given Wanxi Village's geographical advantage of being surrounded by mountains on three sides and its future development, it is definitely one of the best places to live around Yunhai City.

Even in Yunhai City, where a trading zone has been established, the conditions may not be as good as here.

Besides, Yunhai City is a place with many people and complicated relationships. There are many things that a woman like her cannot handle.

Furthermore, Yunhai City's housing prices were high, and the little money she had wasn't enough to buy a suitable single-family house for renovation. After all, she couldn't just sit back and enjoy the benefits. She had to find other ways to support herself.

The most important thing is that if she doesn't help Wanxi Village repair the road, her plan to build a single-family courtyard will not be realized at all, because many construction materials and house-building machinery cannot be transported into the village.

Although she didn't know, she remembered the magnitude of that terrifying earthquake.

But the massive collapse of buildings in Yunhai City, the agonizing cries and screams of pain and fear, was definitely more devastating than the 7.8 magnitude earthquake she'd seen on television in Sichuan Province over a decade earlier! Ordinary buildings designed to withstand a magnitude 6 earthquake proved completely useless! The vast expanse of collapsed buildings and the sheer volume of rubble and debris were the predominant theme in her dreams.

"As soon as your household registration is settled, I can immediately transfer the money from the village, and I can even help you contact a suitable construction team." Qin Suyun picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water. She collected her thoughts and continued to tempt him, "If you are not confident in the construction team I introduced, Village Chief Zhao can find another team himself."

"Building a seven or eight li road is a lot of money. If you build it as a village road, it'll cost at least five or six hundred thousand yuan per li. If you want a better one, the price will be even higher. You're willing to spend so much money just to settle down in the village?" Zhao Xingguo glanced at her, puffing on his pipe, a look of suspicion on his face. "Why is that? Can I ask?"

One mile costs five or six hundred thousand yuan. Zhao Xingguo estimated that the road from their village to the village entrance would cost at least three or four million yuan. If experts from the province had not come here to investigate and knew that they did not have any rare minerals, he would have suspected that the other party spent so much money just to settle down. Was there some conspiracy?

If this amount of money were placed in Yunhai City, it would be worth a good apartment in the city center! Why would he settle down in this remote place?

"I think the environment here is good. I want to build a flower planting base. Only when the road is built can things be transported to other places, so Village Chief Zhao doesn't have to think too much. Even if I don't repair this road in the village now, I will have to repair it after my flower planting base is opened." Qin Suyun had thought of this excuse before she came, so she talked eloquently and tried to convince the other party.

"Of course, I won't waste this money. I hope that in addition to settling down, the village will also give me a piece of residential land and five acres of farmland to build a planting base."

"After the road is repaired and my flower planting base is initially built, I also want to lease the hilltop reservoir behind the village and use it as a holiday villa or something. I hope I can sign a contract for 30 years at that time... As for the money for leasing the hilltop, I will pay it separately." There will definitely be no more leasing the hilltop in the future, but Qin Suyun also knows that she has to paint a rosy picture for people before she can lure them into the trap.

Hearing about the resort villa, Zhao Xingguo's heart immediately sparked. A few years ago, someone had come to their area to survey the area, intending to build one. A dozen miles up the mountain next to them, there was a large natural reservoir, rich in fish and perfect for fishing. However, development was too difficult and the distance was a bit remote. After years of delays, he abandoned the project, a decision he still regrets.

Now, when Zhao Xingguo heard this topic again, he had a clear idea.

In this way, things would naturally become easier to talk about. As long as Zhao Xingguo knew the reason why the woman in front of him came to settle in their village, he felt relieved.

Anyone would be suspicious if the other party helped their village build a road for no reason and wonder if there was some conspiracy behind it.

But the other party built the road for their village for her own sake, and Zhao Xingguo's doubts were almost dispelled...

The most important thing is that their place is poor and there is really nothing worth spending so much money on.

What's more, Zhao Xingguo thought calmly that there was a small field army base two hills away. If someone in their village was really doing something illegal, such as trafficking women and children or growing poppies...

The ones who suffer in the end are definitely not the people from your own village!

After thinking all this through, Zhao Xingguo made up his mind that he must let this man settle down in their Wanxi Village and change everyone's life and destiny. He couldn't just let the opportunity slip away!

Zhao Xingguo's heart was filled with joy, and his expression brightened with enthusiasm. He beckoned his wife to bring some tea and snacks over. "Miss Qin, how about this... why don't you give me your phone number first... I can't make the decision on this matter alone. We have to wait until tonight and hold a village mobilization meeting. A decision must be made with the consent of more than half of the villagers. However, for the development of the village, I will definitely work hard to mobilize everyone, so please rest assured, Miss Qin!"

"If Miss Qin really opens a flower planting base in our village, I hope Miss Qin can hire more villagers from our village, so that I can be more confident in convincing everyone."

"Of course that's no problem." Qin Suyun nodded with a smile.

With the guarantee of the village chief Zhao Xingguo, and the deliberate efforts of both parties to build friendship, they quickly reached a conclusion and smiled.

What the other party meant was that as long as Qin Suyun helped build the road, even if some people in the village disagreed with her settling here, he and other people in the village committee would try their best to persuade the villagers, so there would definitely be a result in a week no matter what.

After getting the village chief's assurance, Qin Suyun was in a very good mood on the way back, even her eyes were full of smiles.

As expected, money makes the world go round. If she hadn't made a lot of money from selling something at a bargain price this time, plus Chen Zhou's divorce settlement, how could she have dared to come and say such things to Zhao Xingguo? Building an independent courtyard that can withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake is no simple matter; it costs a lot of money.

The earthquake with the highest number of casualties known to the world today was an 8.9 magnitude earthquake that occurred in the last century. The collapse of houses killed hundreds of thousands of residents and injured nearly one-third of the city's population.

Thinking of the earthquake in her dream that occurred almost simultaneously around the world and was equally severe, Qin Suyun felt that she needed to rebuild this house. Not only should it be built solidly, but also with the best materials!
