Chen Feng took a deep breath, sat down opposite the village chief, and sighed.
"Uncle Ma, there's definitely a problem with the gold mine. They refuse to sign a contract with me no matter what. What should I do?"
“If they don’t sign the contract, I can’t start mining. If I can’t start mining, I’ll just be delaying. If this continues, the gold mine will be handed over to someone else.” Chen Feng said, covering his face and speaking with distress.
"Oh dear, how could this happen? Why won't they sign the contract?" Old Ma asked, feigning surprise, though he was secretly overjoyed.
"I don't know. Everything was fine the day before, but then things suddenly changed the next day. I don't know which despicable, shameless person stirred things up in the middle."
"I reckon it's this Li Laoqi. You don't even know me, Uncle. When he came to my house, he was so smug, a completely different person from the day before."
"Oh dear, what are we going to do, Uncle?" Chen Feng said, looking utterly helpless.
When Old Ma heard him cursing the troublemaker, his face turned green. "Your swearing is so awful!"
The problem is that he couldn't retaliate with insults; he could only grit his teeth and say that the insults were well said.
Although I know you're not insulting me, Old Ma knows it's no different from insulting himself.
However, after a slight discomfort, Old Ma felt happy. The more Chen Feng acted this way, the happier he became. The feeling of exhilaration was indescribable.
You're still here complaining to me, begging me for help? You didn't expect this, did you? It was me who stirred up this mess, hahaha!
“Fengzi, there’s nothing I can do about it. Although I’m the village head, I can’t make them sign the contract directly because it concerns the interests of the villagers.”
"You know, they're all my flesh and blood, they're all my villagers, I can't bear to do this," the village chief said with a troubled expression.
"Village chief, I beg you to help me. I really have no other choice. If this continues, my life will be ruined."
"I'll do anything you ask me to do, as long as you're willing to help me," Chen Feng pleaded.
"This...sigh."
The village chief looked troubled, but was moved by Chen Feng's sincerity.
Meanwhile, the village chief's wife was overjoyed, almost bursting into laughter.
Looking at Chen Feng now, he really seems like a clown, constantly being played around by them, like a headless fly.
"Village chief, I beg you, I really have no other choice, please give me a solution." Chen Feng grabbed the village chief's hand and pleaded again.
"Well, since you've put it that way, I'll help you out of your sincerity and give you a suggestion." The village chief sighed and pondered with difficulty.
“Here’s what you’re doing. You should go and beg Li Laoqi first. If that doesn’t work, raise the price. You have eight million in compensation. Raise it to nine hundred. I don’t believe him…” The village chief was giving him advice.
Chen Feng, who had been sitting opposite him with his head down, suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh that he couldn't control at all.
"Hahahaha~"
Chen Fengle slapped his thigh so hard he was almost in tears.
"What are you doing? Why are you laughing all of a sudden?" This confused the village chief, who frowned and looked at Chen Feng with a puzzled expression.
Chen Feng laughed for a while before pointing at the village chief and turning to his wife, saying, "Hahaha, look at him, he actually came up with some ideas, it's hilarious, hahaha."
The village chief's wife frowned, completely baffled as to why Chen Feng would suddenly change like this, and even wondered if he had gone mad.
"Is this how you imagine me begging you? Do you just fantasize about this all day long?"
"How was it? Did you enjoy it? Were you happy?"
Chen Feng chuckled and leaned forward to ask, his mocking smile impossible to conceal.
Upon hearing this, the village chief's face darkened instantly, and his words were filled with anger: "Chen Feng, are you fucking ungrateful?"
"You came to me asking for advice, and I took pity on you and thought I'd help you out, and this is how you talk to me?"
"Are you kidding me? If that's your attitude, then do whatever you want. It's none of my business. Don't come later saying I didn't help you!"
Chen Feng's laughter gradually subsided. He leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and put one in his mouth.
Then he picked up the village chief's lighter from the table and lit it. Under the village chief's gaze, he threw the lighter back onto the table with a "smash" sound, making the village chief's eyelids twitch involuntarily.
Chen Feng, who was just moments ago begging and pleading, now has a cigarette dangling from his lips, a cold and disdainful smile on his face.
"Hey Ma, I was just teasing you and you actually took it seriously?"
"You don't really think I don't know you were behind this, do you?"
Chen Feng took a drag of his cigarette and said with a mocking expression.
Upon hearing this, the village chief and his wife's eyes widened simultaneously, their expressions filled with shock and disbelief.
Did Chen Feng already know that he was the one who stirred up this mess?
How is that possible!
The village chief was deeply shocked, and had only one thought in mind.
This matter was clearly handled flawlessly, and they would never betray themselves!
How exactly did Chen Feng know that he was the one stirring things up behind the scenes?
The village chief couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, and his brows were furrowed in frustration.
"Impossible! Don't talk nonsense! How could you know about this?" The village chief's eyes were full of disbelief, and he simply didn't believe it.
"You don't really think you're that smart, do you?" Chen Feng sneered.
"Why did I go to their house in the middle of the night that day? Did you really think I was going to talk to them about compensation?"
"I just wanted to wait until I left so they could call you and find out who was behind it all."
"It's so easy, it's already been exposed."
"Hey, tell me how you managed to be the village chief for twenty years? With your IQ, how could you be the village chief for twenty years? Is it really that no one wants to be the village chief?" Chen Feng mocked mercilessly, his face close to Chen Feng's.
The village chief was so angry at Chen Feng that his face turned green. When had he ever been mocked like this? At the same time, his mind raced, and he asked in a deep voice, "So it's a high-tech method, is that right?"
"A listening device? Surveillance signals? Or some new method?"
He still doesn't think his plan failed; he just feels that he must have been out of touch with these new technologies, which is why he lost to Chen Feng.
"High-tech my ass, you've watched too many movies. Do you think we need high technology to deal with you punks?" Chen Feng said with a sneer.
"If you don't have high technology, how did you know about our conversation?" The village chief didn't believe Chen Feng's words at all and asked coldly.
"Just lie down against the wall, find someone to squat against the wall, what wouldn't they know?" Chen Feng scoffed.
