“You…you…”
However, Niu Zhicheng couldn't find a way to refute Tan Dingguo's words. He could only glare at Tan Dingguo with a flushed face, his lips trembling.
Seeing Niu Zhicheng so angry, Qian Xianmin felt inexplicably relieved.
However, they now need to figure out a way to properly handle the mess they've made. Just thinking about having to clean up the mess left by Niu Zhicheng and his gang makes him want to curse.
"Alright, since they have something to ask me, you can discuss how to handle the aftermath of this incident first."
"Tan... Village Chief, right? I can only give you five minutes. Speak quickly, as you can see, we have other things to do."
Qian Xianmin led them to the office next door, checked his watch, and then spoke to Tan Dingguo.
Tan Dingguo nodded, took the ledger that the village accountant was holding from his hands, and placed it in front of Qian Xianmin.
"County Chief Qian, take a look at this."
Qian Xianmin was surprised that the other party didn't say anything and directly showed him the things.
He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then patiently opened the account book in front of him.
The first page was filled with expenses. When he saw it, his brows furrowed even more, since the amount of those expenses was not a small sum in the countryside.
When he turned to the second page, his already furrowed brows furrowed even more, and he held his breath.
He then quickly flipped down to the second page, where expenses and income were roughly balanced.
But the next few pages are all about income, and it's clear that each transaction is steadily increasing.
Qian Xianmin only made a rough estimate, and the number he got made him gasp.
"This...this is your ledger?"
Qian Xianmin quickly flipped to the last page, which was today's date, then looked up at Tan Dingguo with bright eyes and asked.
"Yes, County Chief Qian, this is the account book of the breeding farm that our village applied for with the county before. I don't know if you still remember it?"
Tan Dingguo nodded and said to Qian Xianmin.
"A...breeding farm?"
Qian Xianmin looked down and thought for a moment. It seemed that he had indeed approved such a matter. However, he was not optimistic about it, so after signing his name, he instructed his subordinates to follow up and then stopped investigating.
I never expected that this small farm would generate such a large profit.
"County Chief Qian, actually, we came here today to explain the matter of not attending the meeting last time, which caused us to miss the instructions from our superiors."
As you can see, the farm's ledger shows the time of the income receipts, which is around this period.
Because everyone in the village was focused on the breeding farm, they were so negligent and forgot about it.
Therefore, I came here specifically to receive criticism and education.
"I'd also like to report to the leaders on the achievements of our village's livestock farm."
Tan Dingguo had heard the whole story from when County Chief Qian slammed his fist on the table and roared in his office.
He then came up with a plan to retreat in order to advance.
As he expected, upon hearing this, County Magistrate Qian burst into laughter.
"Good, good, good. It's good that you didn't come last time. This farm is well-run. I have high hopes for you."
"Alright, I'll keep this ledger with me for now. I'll have someone take it to your village after I'm done using it."
County Chief Qian felt a sudden inspiration; the problems that needed to be resolved regarding the "iron rice bowl" system seemed to have found a solution.
