"What did you say?"
Why didn't he come on the scheduled day?
Do we still want our house or not?
The villagers were all talking at once, creating a chaotic scene.
The village chief waved his hand: "I'm going to answer the phone. Everyone wait here!"
After saying that, the village chief hurriedly ran to the village committee.
Director Zhang and Lu Xingtao watched everything from the side.
Director Zhang said, "The person didn't come, but the phone rang. What does that mean?"
Lu Xingtao squinted: "I don't know, let's ask the village chief when he gets back."
The village chief arrived at the village committee.
He picked up the phone: "Hello, hello, are you still there?"
Yu Hao said on the other end of the phone, "Yes, yes. Is this the village chief?"
"Yes, it's me! It's been half a month, why haven't you come yet? The whole village is waiting for you!"
Yu Hao said, "Don't even mention it. Something happened on the way back. I collided with someone else while driving back. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the other party is making a fuss and insists that it's my fault and I have to pay compensation."
"We have a slight disagreement about the amount of compensation, but it's not a big problem. I'll head over to you as soon as I've finished dealing with things here."
Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out there were uncontrollable factors that prevented them from coming to Baoli Village.
I thought you'd run away!
The village chief said, "Then you should take care of your own business. We're not in a hurry here."
Yu Hao said, "Thank you so much. Please explain this to the villagers for me."
"An explanation is fine, but you need to give me some time."
Yu Hao thought for a moment and said, "Give me five more days."
"Alright! No problem!" The village chief asked again, "I want to ask, the relocation compensation offered by the government is far less than your purchase price, so you still—"
The village chief just wanted to know the truth, whether he was playing us or if there really was an insider deal.
Yu Hao said, "This is inside information, not something you should know. I can get the price you can't, and no one else can, you know? Just wait for me."
The village chief responded with an "oh".
So that's how it is. It seems this acquirer has a very powerful background!
Then there's nothing else to say.
Just wait and it will be over.
So the village chief hung up the phone and ran back to the village entrance.
The villagers immediately gathered around, chattering, "Village chief, what's going on?"
"Yes, what did they say?"
"Tell me quickly, when are you coming?"
"I can't wait!"
The village chief cleared his throat and said, "They just called and said they had a car accident on the road."
This startled the villagers, and Sun Dabao took the lead in asking, "Is everyone alright?"
Sun Dabao thought, if this person dies, won't everything be ruined?
The village chief said, "He's fine, there are just some disputes to deal with. He said he'll be here in five days, so everyone can rest assured. Go home and cook, everyone go home."
The villagers heard this.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's wait another five days. It won't make a difference if we wait a few more days."
He went home with a smile on his face, dreaming sweet dreams.
Both Director Zhang and Lu Xingtao were a bit dumbfounded.
Isn't it too much of a coincidence that this car accident happened?
Is it true or false?
The two of them couldn't figure it out either, but they had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
It's like the other person wants to show up, but keeps getting tripped up by fate.
This is really strange.
Director Zhang scratched his head: "What do you think?"
Lu Xingtao's lips twitched: "Trust him one more time!"
The relocation office staff finished their work and returned to Jiangcheng.
I've been squatting here all day, but I haven't seen a single shadow.
Lu Xingtao could rest, but Director Zhang could not stop working and still sent people to Baoli Village to persuade them.
However, only Lu Xingtao knew that the entire construction team he had hired was waiting.
The contractor was getting impatient as he couldn't get to the construction site for so long.
Is this a joke?
Half a month was bad enough, but now it's been five days!
Let's just do it and wait, won't we make any money?
Lu Xingtao was also frustrated. Not to mention the construction team, his own loan was still accruing interest every day.
This is no joke!
But there was nothing they could do; the villagers wanted to take advantage of this windfall, and they couldn't force them to accept it.
The construction team isn't making any money; I'm actually losing money!
Mayor Cui also came to inquire about the situation.
Lu Xingtao told him the truth, and Mayor Cui was also stunned.
The reason given by this acquirer is absolutely brilliant!
What can we do but tough it out?
Mayor Cui was at a loss with these stubborn villagers.
You can see Director Zhang's daily work firsthand. Can you say he doesn't work hard or not?
His throat was practically burning from talking so much, and his lips were covered in blisters.
But I simply couldn't persuade them.
Mayor Cui sighed: "Then let's wait and see. Once the villagers' illusions are shattered, they will still accept our guidance price."
Lu Xingtao had no choice but to nod.
Time passes.
Five days have passed.
Lu Xingtao and Director Zhang once again went undercover.
The villagers were already used to it.
Everyone crowded at the village entrance, eagerly awaiting the arrival of a familiar figure.
Some even joked that once they had money, they would eat as many sweetened cookies as they wanted! That's how extravagant they were!
This caused everyone else to burst into laughter.
People joked that this was all the ambition he had.
Sun Dabao squatted to one side, chuckling along.
Gradually, the sun set again.
The sounds from the village entrance grew fainter and fainter.
In the end, almost no one spoke.
The person they were hoping for has not appeared!
Even a dog wouldn't dare to pass by here...
