Li Jing'er was stunned: "Intelligence work?"
Lu Zhicheng was also confused. Didn’t he say before that he was working on a construction site?
Pei's father and mother also thought Pei Qinghuan was talking nonsense: "What are you talking about?"
Second Aunt said in embarrassment: "Qing Huan, your husband is not really doing that, is he? Don't lie."
Pei Qinghuan knew that no one believed what she said when she heard it, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. This was not her job, but it involved Mr. Gu, and she didn't want to drag him into it.
Gu Jinchen looked at Pei Qinghuan's anxious expression and felt a little reluctant. He glanced at Li Jing'er coldly.
Li Jing'er felt a cold gaze staring at her, as if she would become dead in the next second, and she shuddered.
Just at this moment, someone from the village came over and shouted, "Someone's coming from above. The village party secretary wants us to come over. He's sharing the money from that tourism project. Anyone who participated should go and take a look."
Suddenly the crowd became noisy, and even those who had not participated were ready to join in.
At this time, a kind middle-aged man walked out of the crowd and said cheerfully: "Don't bother, I came here in person to announce it. This is a great event."
The village party secretary next to him smiled flatteringly: "How could we trouble such a high-ranking official?"
The villagers were stunned. A high-ranking official, a big official.
Li Jing'er glanced at Pei An'an, quietly walked behind her, and pushed her hard.
Gu Jinchen saw it with his sharp eyes and gave her a gentle support. Li Jing'er staggered and stood in front of the senior official.
At first glance, others thought Li Jing'er was blocking the way.
"What are you doing? Come back quickly!"
"Whose daughter-in-law is this? She is so ignorant!"
The villagers were about to stare Li Jing'er's head off, and Lu Zhicheng hid behind the crowd, too scared to say a word.
Is Li Jing'er crazy today? It was a mistake for him to come and accompany her today!
Senior official: "It's okay, it's okay. Just tell me if you have any questions."
Li Jing'er wanted to stuff herself into the hole, so how could she dare to ask any questions?
She was so scared that she almost cried: "Senior official, I, I'm fine."
The senior official looked around and suddenly saw a familiar figure. He strode towards him, not remembering what Li Jing'er had said.
The senior official walked towards Gu Jinchen, shook his hand up and down, with a look of respect on his face.
The people around were stunned, and some even said, "Senior official, those hands are not clean."
Everyone thought that Gu Jinchen was just a pretty face who could only please rich women, but in the blink of an eye, the senior officials became very polite to him.
The senior official frowned: "Not clean? Oh yes, I need to wipe my hands."
The villagers were dumbfounded. No one dared to say that the high-ranking officials had dirty hands.
The senior official turned to Gu Jinchen and said, "Mr. Gu, what brings you here? Are you interested in the development of this village? I just happened to come here to discuss this."
The Gu family is a major philanthropist every year, so he must seize this opportunity to bring more charity to the province.
My uncle happened to be standing nearby, looking embarrassed: "Senior official, you must have made a mistake. Although this person also has the surname Gu, he is definitely not the one you know."
The senior official glared at him and said, "How could I admit my mistake? Do you think I'm old?"
The uncle quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, how dare I think that, it's just that this is my niece's husband, he does that."
Gu Jinchen said with a cold face: "Did I tell you about my profession?"
My uncle was stunned, and so were the villagers. Yes, the person involved never admitted it, it was all Li Jing'er who said it.
The senior official was also angry: "How dare you speculate about Mr. Gu like this? He is..."
Gu Jinchen held his hand and said, "Needless to say, they don't deserve to know."
The senior official nodded and said, "The subsequent projects in your village will be handed over to the village party secretary."
What this means is that without the focus of senior officials, the progress of the project has been much slower.
This wasn't just cake from one family, it was cake from dozens of families. For a moment, the villagers turned their angry gazes towards Li Jing'er, Lu Zhicheng and others.
As a result, Lu Zhicheng listened to the intentional or unintentional gossip around him and left in shame with Li Jing'er.
He still felt resentful towards Li Jing'er, even though he had done nothing.
"I didn't expect Pei Qinghuan's husband to be so powerful. Even high-ranking officials favor him."
"Didn't you see how respectful the high officials were to him? They were more than just looking upon him with favor."
"Didn't Pei Qinghuan say her husband worked in intelligence? It turns out he's so good at intelligence work."
The villagers' attitude suddenly changed, and they no longer looked at Gu Jinchen with contempt and pity as before.
Pei Qinghuan was also surprised. She thought Mr. Gu had connections, but she didn't expect them to be so wide-ranging. It seems that people who sell information are popular everywhere.
Gu Jinchen looked at Pei Qinghuan's expression helplessly, knowing that she was overthinking it again: "It's getting late, I'll take you back."
Pei Qinghuan nodded. She had finished her work in advance before leaving, and she would be busy again when she returned.
The senior official happily saw Gu Jinchen and the others off, thinking that new infrastructure could be built in the west of the city.
When the villagers saw that the high-ranking official even sent Gu Jinchen away, they were suddenly shocked and curious about this man. Of course, they were still a little afraid of him.
