Chapter 391 Sleeping Together

On Jiang Yao's side, after several days of investigation and visits with her team members, they found that the living conditions in the rural areas here are quite difficult.

They worked hard in the fields, but the price they sold their crops for was several times lower than what they paid outside.

It's just a drop in the bucket, no wonder every household can only live in this kind of tiled house.

The task she took over this time was to develop the mountain village, so naturally she had to help everyone.

But there are no good ideas yet.

Qin Keke is actually very professional in this area.

Thinking of this, she packed up the documents she had and went to the hospital that afternoon.

When we arrived at the ward, Qin Keke and her cousin were there.

"Miss Jiang!"

When she saw her, Qin Keke looked both happy and guilty. She wanted to stand up and greet her, but Jiang Yao stopped her, "You're a patient, there's no need to get up. I just came to see you."

"Thank you." Qin Keke's expression was awkward and stiff, as if she had a lot to say but didn't know how to say it.

Jiang Yao, however, greeted Li Shumei naturally, and then said to Qin Keke, "I heard that Xu Li helped you sue your father. He is now in prison and may be sentenced to three to five years in prison."

"Yes." Qin Keke did not hide this matter.

"Thanks to you for helping me, this three to five-year sentence serves as a warning to my mother and brother. They've come to trouble me twice, but Xu Li used the law to scare them off each time. Now I don't have to worry about being sold out by them."

Her expression was full of gratitude.

The biggest haze in life has dissipated.

But her cousin's illness could not be delayed. She had not yet earned enough money. Although she wanted to help the countryside, she had not figured out how to implement it.

Just as she was worrying about this, Jiang Yao asked her again: "I heard that you plan to stay in the countryside to do construction, right?"

"Yes." Qin Keke was a little embarrassed, afraid that she would laugh at herself for overestimating her abilities.

"What a coincidence! I just happened to receive a project to develop your Xishi Village, and I'm planning to ask for your help."

Jiang Yao said as he handed over a contract.

Qin Keke never thought that after what happened last time, she would still need her.

When she opened the file and saw the contents, she was stunned.

It was written that Jiang Yao planned to use her to build the village, develop transportation business, and find entrepreneurial opportunities for the villagers.

She signed a one-year labor contract and at the same time she would advance herself a one-year salary of 200,000 yuan.

Her expression trembled, and I instantly guessed what she meant.

Jiang Yao wanted her to use the money to treat her cousin first, which was considered as indirect help to her.

"Miss Jiang...this..." She looked agitated, "Why are you still willing to trust me? I really don't deserve it."

"Alright, alright, stop telling me those empty words." Jiang Yao waved his hand casually, "I didn't give it to you for free. I signed a labor contract with you. Didn't you see the contract below?

If you fail to produce results, I can cancel the contract at any time. At the same time, if I discover any betrayal, you will have to pay triple the compensation. If you can't pay by then, you will face imprisonment."

She crossed her arms, looking proud. "My conditions are very demanding. It's hard for ordinary people to accept them. It depends on whether you can accept them."

Qin Keke's nose felt sore, and her heart was almost overwhelmed by huge guilt and regret.

At this time, her cousin patted her shoulder and looked at her worriedly.

Seeing her cousin's haggard face and thinking about her illness, Qin Keke finally made a decision at this moment. "I accept Miss Jiang's conditions and can start working right away."

Jiang Yao smiled with relief, "You don't have to do it right away, or they'll accuse me of mistreating my employees. Wait until you recover and then meet me at Xu Li's house."

When Qin Keke heard that they were meeting at "Xu Li's" house, she looked a little uncomfortable.

She originally thought that Xu Li would leave Xishi Village and return to the law firm after they had made things clear last time, but she didn't expect that he would stay after helping her solve his father's problem.

He also visited her every day and brought her food.

She didn't quite understand what the other party's intentions were.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just staying in a hotel near his house. It's just convenient for us to talk at their house." Jiang Yao explained to her again.

Qin Keke was a little embarrassed: "No, no, I didn't misunderstand, it's over between him and me."

Jiang Yao didn't say much about this, but his eyes were somewhat meaningful.

Matters of the heart are not that simple.

…

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Yao walked back, observing the situation and thinking about how to develop this mountain village.

Until a slender figure stood in front of her.

When Jiang Yao looked up, he met a pair of familiar and deep eyes.

"Beiting?" She immediately looked delighted.

Then I saw him carrying a big basket?

It was filled with fruits, vegetables, and even peppers.

It's totally inconsistent with his image.

She found it a little funny, "Are you coming to the mountain village to buy goods?"

Li Beiting was also a little helpless. "Just now, when I came down the mountain, I saved a little girl. Her family gave it to me as a thank you."

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Yao found it quite interesting. "Have you finished dealing with the issues at home?"

"Well, let me see if there's anything I can do to help you." Li Beiting was quite direct.

The two of them talked as they walked towards the hotel at the foot of the mountain, and she told Li Beiting the general situation.

Li Beiting pondered for a moment and suggested, "If we want to develop this mountain village, the best way is to sell agricultural and sideline products. We can create entrepreneurial opportunities for the villagers and let them transport and sell their fruits and vegetables. The prices outside are higher than here, so it can bring in a considerable income."

"Actually, I thought so too, but it seems quite troublesome to transport it here, and the transportation is not very convenient."

Jiang Yao and his friends used to take the train and then transfer to another bus.

"I actually have an idea. Can we bring in airport transportation to reduce transportation costs?"

This is the area they are most familiar with and is also easy to operate.

Li Beiting: "You can ask the village chief for his opinion."

Jiang Yao thought so too.

When he returned to the hotel in the afternoon, Li Beiting wanted to check in for a new room, but was told that the room was full.

Normally, there aren't many outsiders coming to this place, but during this period, Jiang Yao, her team members, and the people sent by Li Beiting to protect her have come here in large numbers.

It was also difficult to find a second hotel.

Li Beiting thought of going to Xu Li and asking him to stay for one night.

But Jiang Yao spoke before him: "You can stay at my place tonight."

Li Beiting turned to look at her in surprise, "You mean... let me live with you?"

Jiang Yao's expression was calm, without blinking, "Why, you don't want to? Or are you afraid that I'll take advantage of you?"

"No, I'm afraid you won't agree." Li Beiting explained quickly.
