Chapter 114: Can't Let Go
Chen Wen's eyes lit up, and his expression was no longer as awkward as before. He smiled and said, "Yes, they are all grown by the villagers themselves. They have never been sprayed with pesticides, so you can eat them with peace of mind. If Miss Chi likes them, I will pick some for you when I leave."
"Okay, thank you."
"Then I won't disturb you from eating. Just put your bowls on the table after you finish eating. I'll come over to clean up and take you around the village."
"OK."
After Chen Wen left, Chi Muzhen looked at Bai Ruru and Xu Qing standing beside him.
"Let's eat."
As they didn't have time to eat in the morning, Bai Ruru and Xu Qing sat next to Chi Muzhen, and they started eating in silence.
Bai Ruru didn't expect that the dish didn't look good, but it tasted good. She ate two bowls of rice without realizing it.
After dinner, Chen Wen came over and took a few people around the village.
Shili Village is a village with hundreds of households. All the young people in the village have gone out to work, leaving only some middle-aged and elderly people with low education levels and left-behind children.
Chen Wen introduced the scenery of the village to Chi Muzhen as they walked. When they reached a fork in the road, a little girl suddenly ran over from the other side and bumped into Chi Muzhen.
"ah!"
The little girl dropped the bowl in her hand and fell to the ground.
Chi Muzhen held the little girl with one hand and caught the dropped bowl with the other. Before the people around her could react, she had already handed the bowl to the little girl.
"You must be scared."
Her voice was gentle and there was a faint smile on her face. The little girl was stunned and forgot to reach out to take the bowl.
Chen Wen looked at the little girl and said, "Xiaoqiu, where are you going? Why are you so anxious?"
The little girl named Xiaoqiu came back to her senses and took the bowl and said, "Uncle Village Chief, Brother Yiheng is back. I'll go give him some food."
Chen Wen couldn't help but smile, "Your brother Yiheng has already had dinner."
"That won't stop me from bringing him food."
"Okay, go ahead."
After Xiaoqiu left, Chen Wen took the initiative to explain, "The brother Yiheng she mentioned used to live in our village. He later went out to look for a job, was discovered by a scout, and became an actor. I think he even won a Best Actor award a while ago..."
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with surprise. She hadn't noticed anything when Xiaoqiu mentioned Brother Yiheng just now, but now after hearing Chen Wen say this, could that person be Shi Yiheng? !
"Village Chief Chen, is the actor you mentioned surnamed Shi?"
Chen Wen nodded quickly, "Yes, he is very famous. It turns out Miss Chi also knows him."
Chi Muzhen didn't expect that this was actually Shi Yiheng's hometown. She said slowly, "Yes, I know him."
Chen Wen was stunned when he heard this, then he quickly said: "Since Miss Chi knows him, then I will take you to see Shi's house. Anyway, we should meet him in the next few days."
"good."
On the way to Shi Yiheng's house, Chen Wen wondered if it would be easier to close this deal if Chi Muzhen and Shi Yiheng knew each other.
As soon as he arrived at Shi's house, he heard Shi Yiheng teaching Xiaoqiu to read, and Chen Wen knocked on the door.
Soon, the door was opened from the inside.
Shi Yiheng saw Chen Wen and smiled, "Uncle Chen, you came to see me..."
Seeing Chi Muzhen standing next to Chen Wen, shock flashed in his eyes, "Muzhen, why are you here?!"
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "I'm currently looking for suppliers. I saw the fabric factory in Shili Village online, so I came here for an on-site inspection."
Shi Yiheng nodded and said, "Oh, I heard about it from Uncle Chen a few days ago."
"I didn't realize this was your hometown. Have you been here during your vacation?"
A strange light flashed in Shi Yiheng's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Yes, I will come back here when I don't have work."
Moreover, his family has been contacting him recently, asking him to return to Beijing to recognize his ancestors, but he was too lazy to deal with them, so he just came here to hide.
"Then we won't bother you anymore."
Shi Yiheng looked at her, with a lot of things he wanted to say but no idea where to start. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Wen sent them home and when he left, he looked at Chi Muzhen and said, "Miss Chi, I'll pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to visit the factory."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Village Chief Chen."
After Chen Wen left, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
On the other side, Chengdu.
Ke Ning also found out where Chi Muzhen was and hurried to Huo Yunting's office to report.
"Mr. Huo, we've already checked. Miss Chi is currently in Shili Village, the southernmost part of Qingcheng."
Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with surprise, and he frowned and asked, "What is she doing there?"
"It should be work..."
"I understand. You can go out now."
After Ke Ning left, Huo Yunting called Shen Tian.
“Chen Tian, what is Chi Muzhen doing in Shili Village?!”
Shen Tian recognized Huo Yunting's voice and couldn't help but frowned, "Boss Huo, I don't need to report MY's work arrangements to you, right?"
If Huo Yunting had not snatched away the cooperation with Qi Corporation, Chi Muzhen would not have had to look for a new fabric factory. Shen Tian became angry when she thought of this.
"Chi Muzhen is my wife. I should have the right to know what my wife is doing on the business trip arranged by your company."
Shen Tian smiled slightly and said, "Since Mr. Huo wants to know so much, just call Zhenzhen and ask her yourself. Why are you asking me?"
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Tian hung up the phone.
Huo Yunting's face suddenly turned extremely cold. After a few seconds, he still dialed Chi Muzhen's number.
After the phone rang a few times, the other party answered.
"Mr. Huo, why did you call me suddenly?"
Huo Yunting's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "I'm going to visit grandma in a couple of days. Do you want to come with me?"
"I'm on a business trip right now, so I probably won't have time to go. I'll go with you next time."
Huo Yunting tightened his grip on the phone unconsciously and remained silent.
"Mr. Huo, if you have nothing else to say, I'll hang up first. I'm going to sleep."
Not getting a response from Huo Yunting, Chi Muzhen hung up the phone directly.
In the next few days, Chi Muzhen took Bai Ruru and Xu Qing to visit the fabric factory to see how fabrics were made and dyed.
The main employees of the fabric factory in Shili Village are middle-aged people over 40 years old. Although there are not many of them, they are very efficient and the quality of the fabric meets Chi Muzhen's requirements.
Basically on the third day, Chi Muzhen decided to cooperate with the fabric factory in Shili Village.
When Chen Wen learned of her decision, he was so excited that he immediately asked his wife to kill the old hen that had been raised at home for several years and prepare a table of delicious food to entertain Chi Muzhen and others.
At the dinner table, Chen Wen offered a glass of wine to Chi Muzhen, his eyes reddening. "Ms. Chi, thank you very much for choosing us. We promise to do our best and won't let you down!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.
If it weren't for Chi Muzhen's order, their fabric factory might be closed down in a month.
When Chi Muzhen came at the beginning, he was actually unsure in his heart. He was afraid that Chi Muzhen would be unwilling to cooperate after seeing their simple environment. Unexpectedly, Chi Muzhen not only did not despise it, but also agreed to cooperate.
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "Village Chief Chen, you don't have to thank me. Although your fabric factory is small, its efficiency and fabric quality are no worse than those of other fabric factories. In fact, they are even better. That's why I am willing to choose you."
"Well, we will definitely work hard to make better quality fabrics!"
"I believe you!"
After they finished their meal, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Just as they were about to go back, it started to rain heavily.
Chen Wen took a look at the rain and said, "We often have this kind of rain here. It will stop in half an hour at most. You guys sit for a while."
However, as time went on, the rain not only did not get lighter, but instead tended to get heavier. Chen Wen's home was located on a higher ground, and at this moment a stream of water had gathered and was flowing towards the low-lying areas.
Bai Ruru frowned unconsciously, worry flashing in her eyes.
"The rain seems to be getting heavier."
She had never seen such heavy rain in her life.
Just as he finished speaking, a man in a raincoat suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard. He walked to the door of Chen Wen's house with an anxious look on his face and said, "Village Chief! The Huang family at the entrance of the village has been flooded!"
