I don't think it's a big deal!

Gao Churou shrugged. "What he said isn't wrong. He's just stating the facts. If you're really angry, Brother Zuo, that's your own business."

"Xiao Gao, Xiao Li, you guys..."

Zuo Hengyu was both shocked and furious.

Before this, Li Guangsheng and Gao Churou would give him some face and go along with his insincere words.

I never expected that they wouldn't even give me this much face now.

Is it because of Wang Qian?

If I had known this kid would cause so much trouble, I shouldn't have agreed to give him 10% of the shares in the first place.

"Brother Zuo, actually, it would be better if everyone just gave in a little!"

Gao Churou wisely advised, "We're all cooperating to make money. There's no point in doing anything that goes against making money, don't you think?"

Li Guangsheng added, "Although he's younger than all of us, as long as he can solve the problem, it's okay to give him some leeway, Brother Zuo, what do you say?"

Since both of them had said that, Zuo Hengyu, no matter how aggrieved he felt, could only pretend to be magnanimous. "I was just joking. How could I possibly hold a grudge against a junior?"

Gao Churou and Li Guangsheng looked puzzled by Zuo Hengyu's explanation.

Zuo Hengyu clearly wanted to give Wang Qian a hard time.

Now look what's happened, they're actually saying this against their conscience again.

Don't you feel embarrassed?

...

Early the next morning, Wang Qian and the truck driver returned to Xieyang Village with the grape seedlings.

"Dad, Mom, please go and call the people in the village who agreed to plant a vineyard, and bring the grape seedlings back."

Wang Qian said to Wang Yuanguang and Lu Aihua, "Unless there is something special, at least one person from each family should come. There are many things to pay attention to with these grape seedlings. If you plant them haphazardly, you won't grow them well."

"Okay, let's go find them right now!"

Wang Yuanguang nodded and went to look for the person with Lu Aihua.

Wang Qian then found a young man from the village and paid him to unload the goods.

The grape seedlings filled an entire truck. The driver was only responsible for bringing them here; Wang Qian had to handle the unloading.

As for the helpers Wang Qian hired, he was very generous with the wages, paying each of them four yuan.

He will definitely keep this money in the books and share it with the other major shareholders according to their shareholdings.

Before long, the people who had agreed to plant vineyards began to arrive one after another.

Originally, according to the contract, as long as they signed and pressed their fingerprints, they could not only receive grape seedlings for free to plant, but each household could also receive a pre-purchase deposit of 100 yuan.

Everyone readily agreed to the terms of the contract.

Those willing to plant vineyards have accumulated land areas that are more than double the original requirement of 3,000 mu.

But just as Wang Qian was ready, a discordant voice rang out from behind the crowd.

"Wait, I disagree!"

It was a young and powerful voice.

As the crowd stepped back, a slightly overweight young man emerged.

He had a square face, chubby cheeks, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, his nostrils pointing to the sky, looking arrogant and haughty.

"Sun Tianzhi?"

Wang Qian frowned slightly.

This young man is the only son of Sun Gang, the current village chief of Xieyang Village.

He was born with a slight defect; in rural parlance, he's not very bright.

Although he is already twenty-four or twenty-five years old, he acts like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, and often uses "My dad is the village chief" as his domineering catchphrase.

"Wang Qian, you didn't even tell me about such a big thing beforehand. What's the meaning of this?"

As he approached, Sun Tianzhi coldly questioned him.

"Sorry, it's no longer a collective system!"

Wang Qian knew the other party's intentions, but not wanting to affect the progress of the plan, he patiently explained, "What farmers choose to plant is their own business. I don't think I need the consent of any other third party, do I?"

"Hmph, you're showing no respect for my dad!"

Sun Tianzhi said firmly, "My dad is the village chief. Without his approval, this matter cannot be accomplished."

"Then what do you want?" Wang Qian asked, barely suppressing his anger.

Deliberately making things difficult, and doing it so blatantly, is a classic case of wielding a trivial authority as if it were a powerful command.

"The fact that you've built such a large business proves that you're just as smart as me!"

Sun Tianzhi leaned closer, lowered his voice, and chuckled, "Don't you have any idea what I want?"

Wang Qian's eyes flickered for a moment, then he suddenly nodded, "I know!"

"Hehe, good to know!"

Sun Tianzhi was quite satisfied with Wang Qian's answer. "Tonight I'm hosting a banquet at home and would like to invite you to have a drink. As for whether you can enjoy the wine, that depends on your performance!"

After saying that, he stretched out a fat hand and patted Wang Qian on the shoulder.

Without even waiting for Wang Qian's reply, he turned and left with a smug look on his face.

Wherever he went, everyone made way for him, as if he were a local bully.

Wang Qian didn't say anything more and continued distributing grape seedlings.

Because each family has a different planting area, the number of grape seedlings they receive, and the pre-purchase funds they receive are also different.

Therefore, each company needs to draft a separate contract.

This is a very mentally and time-consuming task.

He's been traveling back and forth between the village and the city lately, so he simply doesn't have the time or energy to draft contracts.

Fortunately, he has a capable wife.

Lin Xiaoyu personally drafted the contracts for each company while she was in postpartum confinement.

He then took Lin Xiaoyu's manuscript to the county town and found a printing shop to print it out.

After having the other three shareholders review the document and confirm that there were no problems, he brought it here to sign the contract with the designated rural village.

Without Sun Tianzhi's obstruction, the distribution of grape seedlings went very smoothly.

After a busy day, the matter was finally brought to an end at four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Qian, are you really going to Sun Gang's house for a banquet?"

As Wang Qian entered the bedroom, Lin Xiaoyu immediately asked with concern.

Although she has stayed indoors during this period, she has helped with many things.

For example, helping Wang Qian draft contracts;

Instruct Lu Aihua on the ingredients for making roasted green pepper sauce;

He also helped Wang Qian come up with ideas and strategies;

Wang Qian was also very kind to her. Every time he came back, he would thoughtfully help take care of the baby for a while, chat with Lin Xiaoyu, and tell her about what he had seen and heard in the county town.

Of course, he didn't mention a word about his past with Wu Yanping and Liu Yanran.

After all, family harmony is the most important thing.

Some things can be left unsaid, and things will remain peaceful until they are mentioned, at which point they become thorns that cannot be removed.

Do you think I should go?

Wang Qian didn't answer but asked a question instead.

Sun Tianzhi came to cause trouble just now and proposed to host a banquet tonight, inviting him alone. His intentions couldn't be simpler.

Tell him to prepare to offer a bribe.

As for whether his sincerity was sufficient and whether the wine would be served well, that depended on whether the amount of the bribe he offered would satisfy the host, Sun Gang.
