Chapter 124 The Boss Appears
The sunlight shines through the windows of the village committee office, falling brightly on everyone's face, but it cannot dispel the doubts in the villagers' hearts.
There's no way around it. Everyone has to think twice before accepting a pie falling from the sky. What if it's a discus that falls from the sky?
"This... this is Boss Li, right? Is he really here to give money to our village?" Villager A, an old man wearing a fading dacron shirt, squinted his eyes and looked up and down at Boss Li who was standing in the middle of the crowd, as if he was distinguishing the authenticity of an antique.
Boss Li, as his name suggests, is dressed in a neat suit, with shiny hair and a shrewd look gleaming from behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
He cleared his throat and smiled, a smile that looked like a textbook example. "Hello, fellow villagers! I'm Li Ming, the person in charge of the investment investigation in our village."
Xu Yao stood aside, looking at the tense atmosphere in front of her, and laughed secretly in her heart.
Nowadays, no one is a fool. If you don’t have any real stuff, you will never be able to fool the common people.
She winked at Xue Han, signaling him to keep an eye on her third sister.
That woman's eyes rolled around, and it was definitely not a good thing.
"Boss Li, please stop beating around the bush and tell me directly, what is this investment all about? We ordinary people just want to know whether this money can make money." The speaker was Villager B, a well-known "argumentative person" in the village. He would dig to the bottom of any little thing.
Boss Li had obviously anticipated this kind of scene. He pushed his glasses and calmly opened the folder in his hand. "Fellow villagers, our village has a superior geographical location and fertile land, which is very suitable for the development of characteristic agriculture. My plan is to introduce advanced planting technology and create an ecological agricultural industry chain integrating planting, processing and sales."
He paused, looked around, and made sure everyone heard him clearly. "To put it simply, it means turning our local specialties into popular items on the tables of city dwellers! Then, not only will everyone be able to get rent from the land transfer, but they can also work in the cooperative and get a salary! This is a win-win situation!"
Xu Yao silently observed the villagers' reactions.
Some people nodded frequently, with longing looks on their faces; some were still frowning, obviously still hesitating; and some, like the third sister standing in the corner, were staring at Boss Li with a cold look, as if they wanted to see a hole in him.
"Boss Li, what you said sounds good, but what about the risks? Who will be responsible if you lose money?" Villager B's question was indeed sharp.
Boss Li smiled, as if he had expected someone to ask this question. "There are definitely risks. How can you make a profit without losses in business? But I have made full preparations. First, we will sign a detailed contract with everyone to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. Secondly, we will introduce professional insurance institutions to protect our investment. Finally, and most importantly, I will be stationed in the village in person to face difficulties and overcome difficulties together with everyone!"
These words were so powerful that many villagers were moved.
Xu Yao secretly admired Boss Li's eloquence. This man not only understood business, but also understood human nature.
"Hmph, you speak better than you sing! Who knows if you bosses are here to cheat people out of money!" A discordant voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Xu Yao frowned. She knew without even looking that it must be her third sister who was causing trouble.
She winked at Xue Han, who understood and quietly approached the third sister.
"That's right. There are so many scammers nowadays. Who knows if you are in the same group?"
"I think we need to think about this matter carefully and not make a decision lightly!"
The third sister's instigation really worked. The villagers, who were originally a little shaken, began to hesitate again.
Xu Yao knew that the critical moment had arrived and she had to stand up and stabilize the situation.
"Fellow villagers, please be patient!" Xu Yao raised her voice, attracting everyone's attention. "I know that everyone has a lot of concerns in their hearts, which is normal. After all, this is related to the vital interests of all of us. However, what I want to say is that this opportunity is rare and we cannot miss it easily."
She paused, pointed at Boss Li standing beside her, and said, "Boss Li came with sincerity. Besides, even if we don't cooperate, we still have to live our lives as usual, right? However, if we can seize this opportunity, maybe we can completely turn our village around!"
Xu Yao's words touched the hearts of the villagers.
Yes, life must go on. Instead of guarding a small piece of land and struggling, it is better to give it a try. What if you succeed?
At this moment, Uncle Zhang, who had been standing in the corner, also stood up.
He walked to the center of the crowd with a cane and said in an old but loud voice: "Fellow villagers, listen to me. I watched Xu Yao grow up, and I trust her character. I have also observed Boss Li, and he is a real person. I think we can give this a try!"
Uncle Zhang is highly respected in the village, and his words carry a lot of weight.
With his support, the villagers' doubts were greatly dispelled.
Boss Li felt relieved as he watched the scene.
He knew that he had passed this hurdle today.
He walked up to Xu Yao, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Comrade Xu Yao, thank you! If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do today."
Xu Yao smiled and shook hands with him. "Boss Li, you're welcome. I'm doing this for the good of our village."
The third sister looked at the scene in front of her and gritted her teeth in anger.
She tried her best to sabotage this cooperation, but unexpectedly, it was ruined by Xu Yao.
She was unwilling to give up, she had to find a way to turn the situation around!
"Boss Li, do you really want to cooperate with our village?" The third sister suddenly came over with a hypocritical smile on her face.
Boss Li frowned and looked at the woman in front of him with some disgust in his heart.
He had already seen that this woman was not a good person.
"Of course, I really want to cooperate with your village." Boss Li said lightly.
"In that case, then...how about we make a bet?" The third sister's smile became even more sinister.
Boss Li was stunned and asked, "What bet?"
The third sister slowly approached Li Ming and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Let's bet... can you... make me fall in love with you..."
Boss Li was stunned by the third sister's sudden and outrageous action, and a trace of barely perceptible disgust flashed in his eyes behind the lenses.
This woman is more annoying than a mosquito.
He replied with a wry smile: "Ma'am, I think you may have misunderstood me. I am here to invest, not to go on a blind date."
The third sister refused to give in and twisted her slender waist to get closer. The smell of cheap perfume powder rushed into Boss Li's nose and almost made him die on the spot.
"Boss Li, you really know how to joke. I just think you're a handsome guy and want to get closer to you." As she said this, she deliberately drew a circle on Boss Li's chest with her finger.
Boss Li got goosebumps all over his body and took a step back calmly, keeping a safe distance.
"Ma'am, please respect yourself. I already have a fiancée."
Xu Yao watched this scene from the side and almost laughed out loud.
My goodness, Third Sister's "beauty trap" is so clumsy, it can only fool those men who have never seen the world.
Boss Li is obviously a man who has seen a lot of storms and waves. How could he be fooled by her little tricks?
Xue Han couldn't stand it any longer. He strode to Boss Li, blocking the sight of the third sister, and said in a tone as cold as the wind in December: "Sister, please stay away from my fiancée's business partner."
The third sister was frightened by Xue Han's momentum and took a few steps back unconsciously, but she was still unforgiving: "Hey, whose dog is this? It was let out without being tied up? What if it bites people randomly?"
Xue Han's eyes flashed, and he was about to speak when he was stopped by Xu Yao.
Xu Yao walked up to the third sister with a smile, her tone gentle but with a hint of warning: "Third sister, why are you doing this? Boss Li has already said that he is not interested in you. If you keep pestering me like this, I will call the security guard."
The third sister's face turned pale and blue, and she finally left in shame.
She knew that she couldn't get any advantage today.
Boss Li looked at Xu Yao gratefully and said, "Comrade Xu Yao, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I would end today."
Xu Yao smiled and said, "Boss Li, you are too polite. I am also doing this for the good of our village."
Afterwards, Boss Li signed an investment contract with the villagers to protect everyone's rights and interests.
When the villagers saw the terms in the contract, they finally felt relieved and expressed their willingness to continue supporting Xu Yao's business transformation.
As night fell, Xu Yao and Xue Han were walking on their way home. The moonlight shone on them, making them look particularly warm.
"It's all thanks to you today, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with my third sister." Xu Yao sighed.
Xue Han smiled and said, "She asked for her own death, so don't blame others."
Xu Yao nodded, but still felt a little uneasy.
She knew that her third sister would not give up easily.
She was worried that her third sister would turn her attention to Boss Li and maliciously slander him, thus disrupting the investment plan.
Moreover, her daughter's situation at school requires her continued attention, as she doesn't know whether her daughter will be affected by the negative influence of the outside world again.
"Oh, right," Xu Yao suddenly remembered something, "I'm going to visit my daughter at school tomorrow and find out about her recent situation."
Xue Han nodded: "Okay, I'll go too."
The two smiled at each other and continued walking forward.
However, at this moment, Xu Yao's cell phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, and her expression instantly became serious...
"Hello?"
