After the ceremony, the town leaders, who had gained what they needed, said goodbye to Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang with satisfaction.

After all, there are quite a lot of people coming here, and Hushan Village is indeed not rich, so we won’t eat and drink here.

Before leaving, Secretary Zheng, on behalf of Qianfu Town, clearly expressed his affirmation and support for Hushan Village and Huo Qianli's work in front of all the villagers, winning cheers.

Everyone also took the opportunity to thank Tang Yuxuan and Wenxing Pharmaceutical behind him, and vaguely expressed the idea that they hoped Wenxing Pharmaceutical would also visit other places in Qianfu Town, which was politely and perfunctorily agreed by Tang Yuxuan.

Before getting in the car, Wang Anquan took out his mobile phone from the leather case on his waist, took a look at the text message he had received almost an hour ago, and decisively pressed the delete button.

In Qianfu Town, Zhou Gui, who had not received a reply from Deputy Mayor Wang for a long time, had no choice but to call Liu Shuai again.

[Can we ever meet again? I have been praying to the Buddha for thousands of years...]

Zhan Erniu turned his head and looked at Liu Shuai, "That thing in your trouser pocket is ringing again."

Liu Shuai didn't dare to move, and said cautiously: "Then let me take it out and take a look?"

Zhan Erniu said calmly: "Just listen to it like this, it's quite nice."

Liu Shuai wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had to just stand there stiffly and continue waiting.

Fortunately, the "savior" finally came.

Gu Daqiang came over and said, "Okay, Erniu, let him go."

Liu Shuairu was pardoned, but the hand on his shoulder was not removed.

"Um...Brother, warrior, your village chief said to let me go."

Zhan Erniu pretended not to hear.

Gu Daqiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Erniu, you don't even listen to me?"

Zhan Erniu said in a muffled voice: "My old man told me to hold him down. If you want to release him, you have to let me do it."

Gu Daqiang had no choice but to call Tie Niu, who was busy, over. When Liu Shuai saw Tie Niu's figure, his desire for revenge, which was already small, was immediately extinguished.

He stretched his stiff body and prepared to ride his motorcycle to leave this dangerous place quickly, but Gu Daqiang patted his shoulder and pointed to an office, "Someone wants to talk to you."

"Looking for me? What for?"

Liu Shuai shuddered, and words like beating, torture, and illegal detention flashed through his mind.

"I don't know." Gu Daqiang looked over there, "Maybe he wants to make friends with you."

......

Liu Shuai walked into the simple office and saw a young man sitting at the desk, frowning and thinking.

Liu Shuai understood that this person must be the college student village official.

When the young man heard the noise and looked up, Liu Shuai had to admit that the other party was more worthy of his name.

Huo Qianli stood up and smiled gently, "Brother, please take a seat. What's your name?"

"Liu Shuai."

"Just now, the situation was urgent, and I had no choice but to let Brother Liu suffer. Please don't blame me, brother."

Huo Qianli was so friendly that Liu Shuai became more alert. He laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"It's normal for Brother Liu to be on guard against me. I would do the same." Huo Qianli sighed sincerely, "But I really don't mean anything else. I just want to make friends with Brother Liu. As the old saying goes, more friends mean more paths."

Liu Shuai didn't believe it at all and said, "Just tell me what you want to do!"

Huo Qianli sighed again, "Okay! I would like to ask Brother Liu to help me go back and tell Boss Zhou a message, or find a way to persuade Boss Zhou to accept my words."

Liu Shuai's heart trembled, "You say."

"Tell him not to take over the medicinal herbs from Hushan Village this year. There are so many businesses in the world, and medicinal herbs are produced in more than one place. Think of other ways as soon as possible."

Huo Qianli stood up and said, "I have investigated. The amount of Salvia miltiorrhiza planted in Hushan Village this year is not large. Generally, each household only plants two or three mu, and some have half an acre. The dry goods produced are only 100 to 200 kilograms. The whole village adds up to more than 20,000 kilograms, and the three households in the town share it. You don't have much profit margin. You can earn two or three yuan per kilogram at most. With 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, you can just find something to make a living and replace it. How about it?"

Liu Shuai remained expressionless, but he was sneering in his heart.

They collect medicinal materials from Hushan Village every year. They have privately formed an alliance to keep the price down. After deducting the shipping costs and losses in transportation, the profit per kilogram is basically more than seven yuan. In some years with good prices, the profit can even exceed ten yuan.

Two or three yuan per kilogram? If that was the only amount of money, there was no point in him following Zhou Gui.

But since he was under someone else's roof, Liu Shuai could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll definitely bring it to you."

"You're fooling me."

Huo Qianli's sudden words made Liu Shuai break out in a cold sweat, and he quickly waved his hands, "No."

Huo Qianli's smile suddenly turned cold. "You saw today that all the town leaders are on my side. Do you think they will know that you took the money to ruin the cooperative?"

Liu Shuai was stunned.

Huo Qianli happened to stop beside him and leaned over to look at him. "I can let your actions today go. I can even say something for you in front of the leaders so that they won't pursue the matter. Moreover, I can find connections in the provincial capital and help you find a decent job. It's not a good idea to always be someone else's lackey. You can't just muddle along like this for the rest of your life, right?"

Liu Shuai was forced to lean back slightly by Huo Qianli's aura and asked warily: "What do you want?"

"Just to make friends with you."

"I don't believe it."

"Okay!" Huo Qianli sighed, pulled a chair, sat in front of Liu Shuai, looked into his eyes, "Let me tell you this, the cooperative will definitely be established, no matter how hard you try. But the price the cooperative reserves for purchasing next year's salvia miltiorrhiza is based on the quality of this year's salvia miltiorrhiza."
