Upon hearing this, Li Yuan'an's expression changed instantly, his face filled with anger.
"Why should I leave?"
He no longer cared about anything else and cursed, "I've been working diligently here, and I only stopped you when you came to cause trouble. What right do you have to tell me to leave?"
He managed to get this position after begging and pleading with Brother Li for a long time.
Not only did he earn a lot of copper coins, but his status and position also rose accordingly, and many people had to bow and scrape when they saw him.
How could he possibly pass up such a wonderful opportunity?
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian did not refute it, but simply stared at Brother Li quietly.
Brother Li felt his back was soaked with sweat, and he stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
In the past, he would have ordered someone to punish Xu Nian without hesitation.
But he already knew who Xu Nian was, and she currently had an agreement with the city lord, so he absolutely could not act rashly.
Thinking it over, Brother Li gritted his teeth, his expression returning to normal. "Alright, you can go now. I'll arrange another job for you later."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan'an froze on the spot, his face filled with disbelief.
how so?
He stared in shock at Xu Nian, who had a faint smile on her lips, and for the first time in his life, he felt a fear that came from within.
Who exactly is this woman? She actually managed to make the usually arrogant Brother Li back down!
Having achieved a satisfactory result, Xu Nian stopped pressuring him and instead pushed Chen Mo, who had been staring in disbelief, out of the room.
“From now on, he will be in charge of the water resources.”
Before Chen Mo could react, he was scrutinized by Brother Li's gaze.
Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
To be honest, Brother Li really didn't want to agree to Xu Nian's request.
He knew that Chen Mo was the only son of the previous city lord, and if he gave him this opportunity, who knows what might happen in the future.
But Xu Nian just kept staring at him, as if if she didn't agree, Gu Zhan would snap her neck the next second.
Thinking it over, Brother Li sighed helplessly and compromised, "Okay."
Chen Mo had prepared himself for humiliation, but who would have thought that Brother Li would actually agree?
He immediately realized that it was all thanks to Xu Nian, and his gaze towards her softened considerably.
Gu Zhan watched coldly without saying a word, but a sense of crisis welled up inside him.
Look at him now, who would have thought that the arrogant guy from a few days ago was him?
[That's right, I support Chen Mo! Let's get the people out of their misery as soon as possible!]
That's right, with the help of the streamer, everything will definitely fall into place naturally.
The surrounding crowd, who had been cowering and watching, were also astonished.
Chen Mo and the others knew her, but what was this girl's ability that made Brother Li submit?
Li Yuan'an, who had been left hanging, got annoyed and grabbed Chen Mo by the neck, "Are you tired of living?"
Faced with the enraged Li Yuan'an, Chen Mo finally realized what was happening, easily pushed him away, and remained calm.
"Didn't you hear what Brother Li said? Leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
As he spoke, Chen Mo slightly raised his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.
Li Yuan'an shuddered involuntarily, clenching his teeth tightly, his heart filled with resentment.
All of this is because of Xu Nian!
Brother Li urged him on from the side, and Li Yuan'an had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Xu Nian several times.
Xu Nian simply shrugged, indicating that she didn't care.
After all, the weak only use this way to express their anger.
Brother Li felt that staying any longer would only make him lose face, so he made up an excuse and left.
Watching Brother Li's disheveled figure leave, Chen Mo felt as if he were dreaming.
He had always lived under Brother Li's tyranny, and nothing he did could help him.
Now, with Xu Nian's help, he can finally redeem himself!
Looking at the water source he had now brought under his control, Chen Mo laughed out loud from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Nian glanced around but didn't find anything amiss. "You can familiarize yourself with this place for now. We have other things to do."
As she spoke, she pulled Gu Zhan's strong arm and continued walking towards the bustling crowd.
Chen Mo stared blankly at the two people's backs for a while, and secretly made up his mind that he must prove them wrong!
Where are we going?
Gu Zhan looked at the little girl's slender fingers with a slightly darker gaze and asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian smiled slyly, "Let's snatch them."
Looking at her playful appearance, Gu Zhan understood perfectly well what was going on.
It seems someone else is about to suffer.
As expected, Xu Nian arrived at the job posting area in the city and casually found an open space to rest.
Gu Zhan didn't rush to urge her, and silently watched her actions.
Xu Nian first mingled with the crowd, listening quietly to hear how much the wages were.
Then, she took out a half-sized wooden board from her pocket and patiently engraved a few lines of words on it.
Gu Zhan looked up.
"Seeking workers, ten copper coins a day."
He chuckled for no reason, stood up, and glanced at the notice that someone had hung up next to him, which clearly stated that it cost five copper coins a day.
Xu Nian had many thoughts.
In any case, the task of building the houses has been handed over to the villagers, and the next steps should be taken by hiring some people.
Besides, she's not short of money now; she has plenty of cash in her pocket.
Thinking this through, Xu Nian disregarded all pride and shouted, "Hiring! Hiring! Ten copper coins a day! Don't miss this opportunity!"
As soon as Xu Nian's voice rang out, a large number of people rushed over.
"Are you hiring, young lady? Do you need men or women, and what will they mainly be doing?"
"I can do it! I'm strong!"
"Please, please hire me! We haven't eaten for days!"
In an instant, the situation on the field became quite chaotic.
But Xu Nian didn't panic. Instead, she continued, "We need both men and women. They all have to contribute. Our family doesn't want people who just do a shoddy job!"
Seeing that it only required physical strength, many more people came.
For a moment, only Xu Nian's front was packed with people, while the entrances of the other shops were completely empty.
They glanced at each other, their eyes filled with jealousy.
These people were all specially recruited by the city lord, and almost every one of them was a prominent figure.
But right now, they've been outshone by an unknown little girl. Who can stand for that?
Then the strongest man among them stood up and roared, "Get up, all of you!"
At his command, the previously noisy and crowded crowd instantly fell silent.
Everyone hurriedly moved aside, leaving him a small path leading to Xu Nian.
"Smack!"
The man's face was fierce and menacing. He snatched the wooden board in front of Xu Nian and smashed it to pieces.
"Get back to where you came from!"
