"Okay, let's have a meeting tonight and come up with a plan."

Secretary Qin's fingers trembled slightly as he thought about how the villagers' income would increase if the fish farm were opened, and he couldn't help but get excited.

Lin Ziyan nodded, "Then I'll wait for Grandpa Qin's good news."

"I'll come again tomorrow morning?"

Secretary Qin nodded, waved his hand, and got up to walk into the inner room.

Lin Ziyan tugged at the chubby girl's arm and whispered, "Hurry up..."

The two turned and ran out of the courtyard.

The chubby girl didn't stop until she had run quite a distance, and she wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.

"Ayan, why are we running?"

Lin Ziyan wiped her forehead as well before smiling and saying, "Secretary Qin must have gone back to the inner room to get the return gift."

"We'll wait there; it'll be hard to refuse him when he takes it out later."

"When you need someone to do you a favor, giving a small gift is nothing."

“Secretary Qin has helped us a lot. No one dares to cause trouble at the shrimp farm. It’s all thanks to the support of the village.”

The chubby girl nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

…

On the other side,

The president's office at Ocean University.

Today, we welcomed the investigation team, which was sent by the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau.

When Principal Chen saw the document, he frowned slightly.

They had reported and applied for this in advance, so why did they send people down to investigate again?

“We received a letter of complaint saying that you violated regulations by issuing graduation certificates to a freshman and even personally delivering them to his village.”

"Of course, we have also found your previous application. This visit is a routine follow-up."

The Ministry of Education staff who came to investigate briefly explained the situation.

Principal Chen nodded, took a document from a filing cabinet, and handed it to them.

"Look, the graduation exam papers and graduation thesis materials are all inside."

"The proctors were sent from Beijing; none of our school's teachers were involved."

The exam papers were also provided by them.

After Principal Chen finished speaking, he picked up the thermos and took a sip of tea.

He was afraid of problems arising, so he kept all the materials.

Having experienced turbulent times, Principal Chen has become much more cautious.

He was against Professor Shen's initial proposal.

"We will make a copy of these materials and take it back with us."

"Of course, we will verify it." After saying that, the staff member carefully reviewed the information.

Principal Chen nodded, "That's nothing."

As long as they don't condemn you outright and don't allow you to explain yourself, it's fine.

Principal Chen only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing them off.

Now he trembles at the mere mention of a whistleblower letter. How many people have fallen victim to whistleblower letters in the past?

Principal Chen sighed, thinking of his old classmates, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Knock knock,

"Old Chen,"

After Shen Hai knocked on the door, he saw him sitting at his desk and striding into the room.

"What were those people investigating?" he asked.

Two of them were familiar faces; they were from the Beijing Municipal Education Commission.

"Someone wrote a letter to the Education Bureau, reporting that Lin Ziyan obtained her graduation certificate ahead of schedule."

"The Beijing Municipal Government sent an investigation team to Cha." Principal Chen did not hide anything.

Shen Hai snorted coldly, "You've got nothing better to do!"

What are you investigating?

Isn't it just that they want to find something to do with Lao Chen so they can take his place?

"Be careful, there are a lot of people watching your spot."

"Fuzhou is about to make a big move; things haven't been peaceful lately," Shen Hai said seriously.

Principal Chen sat up straight. "What's all this commotion?"

He didn't get a word of it.

The students who drowned are spread throughout the marine system, so once we get the news, it's pretty much certain.

What else could it be?

“The port needs to move, the coast guard needs to move…” Shen Hai replied casually.

He successfully bred shrimp larvae in the laboratory, wrote a report, and submitted it.

Mayor Min Ting personally called him to discuss the matter in detail.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Hai immediately called several students and learned about the incident.

Ocean University is a huge pie in the sky, and everyone wants a piece of it.

Principal Chen, "What? Move the port?"

He lowered his voice and asked, "Where in the city is there any money right now?"

"Forget about ports, they can't even get funding to build a road..."

Shen Hai sat opposite him and said, "When foreign businessmen come, you'll understand."

"The city is holding meetings every day now, and they are pushing it forward at a rapid pace."

Principal Chen nodded, "That's possible."

I'm going to the fishing village tomorrow.

"That girl must be thinking about raising fish; she kept it a secret last time," Shen Hai said with a smile, looking at Rong Yan with a knowing expression.

…

The summer sun was blazing hot in the morning.

After the wheat in the fields was harvested, the sea breeze swept in relentlessly.

The leaves in the yard rustled and swayed.

Lin Ziyan came out of the backyard, preparing to go to the village secretary's house again.

"Ayan."

She was getting something from inside the house when she heard her grandmother calling, and she quickly responded.

Lin Ziyan looked outside and saw several figures in the courtyard.

"Grandma Lin, don't bother, we're not thirsty," Secretary Qin stopped Grandma Lin from pouring tea.

Mrs. Lin, "What's wrong with coming over for a cup of tea?"

She took disposable cups from the cabinet and poured a cup for each of them.

When Lin Ziyan came out, she saw several village officials and immediately understood.

"Ayan, we've brought the completed lease agreement."

“We can make the decision if the lease is for ten years or less,” said Secretary Qin, taking out the written contract.

They temporarily borrowed a contract from the village secretary of another fishing village.

Haibi Village has never rented its beach, but other villages have.

Lin Ziyan accepted the contract, read it carefully, and nodded. "Ten years is enough."
