The village official opened the car door somewhat awkwardly and carefully got inside.
As soon as he sat down, his gaze was fixed on Xiao Weiguo as if drawn by a magnet.
With just a quick glance, he was startled, for he immediately recognized the person in front of him as the famous Xiao Weiguo!
It should be noted that Xiao Weiguo is the head of Panlong Group and also the brother of the owner of Panlong Textile Factory.
Today, his career is booming, making him a representative figure of young farmer entrepreneurs at the height of his career.
In that instant, the village official's face turned deathly pale, and his previously composed expression became extremely tense.
After all, business tycoons like Xiao Weiguo have assets approaching 10 billion yuan, and ordinary people can only catch a glimpse of their faces through television or newspapers.
At this moment, Xiao Weiguo, so alive and real, was sitting right in front of him. How could he, as a mere village chief, not feel apprehensive and nervous?
In contrast, Xiao Weiguo maintained a smile throughout, quietly gazing at the somewhat bewildered middle-aged man before him, without uttering a word.
However, although there was no malice in his gaze, his calm and profound eyes still brought heavy psychological pressure to the village cadre.
Finally, the village official took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and stammered.
"Hello, Chairman Xiao, my name is Wang Changlin, and I am the village chief of Wanglou Village."
As he spoke, he quickly extended his slightly trembling hands to Xiao Weiguo, hoping to shake hands with him as a sign of respect.
Xiao Weiguo smiled and gracefully extended his right hand, as if that hand carried an invisible charm of friendliness.
His movements were gentle and natural as he slowly reached out towards Wang Changlin opposite him.
When two hands touch, it's just a light handshake, but in that brief moment, a sense of warmth and kindness is conveyed.
"Village Chief Wang, there's no need to be so nervous. I'm just an ordinary person. It's just that my business has grown a little bit, that's all. There's really nothing to be afraid of! Hehe!"
Xiao Weiguo's voice was gentle and deep, like a spring breeze brushing across a calm lake, easily breaking the awkward atmosphere between the two.
Then, he adjusted his posture slightly, leaning back a little, which made the originally cramped space feel more spacious.
This not only gave Wang Changlin more freedom of movement, but also cleverly reduced the psychological pressure the other party might feel.
Then, Xiao Weiguo looked at Wang Changlin with sincere eyes and continued speaking.
"To be honest, I've made a special trip to visit you today because I have something I'd like to ask you, Village Chief Wang! Therefore, I hope you can answer all my questions without reservation!"
After saying this, he smiled warmly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Changlin nodded hurriedly in response.
"Alright, alright, please go ahead, please go ahead!"
As he responded, his hands unconsciously rubbed together, clearly still feeling a little nervous.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Weiguo smiled slightly, a smile that seemed to have a calming magic.
He then went straight to the point and asked the first question.
"Village Chief Wang, you must have heard about the incident that happened at the textile factory last night, right? I heard that three of the four people who tragically died in the incident were villagers from our Wanglou Village. Is this news true?"
Upon hearing Xiao Weiguo inquire about this matter, Wang Changlin's face instantly turned gloomy.
First, he revealed a look of undisguised grief and indignation, then he sighed softly and said in a low, regretful voice.
"Alas, what a tragedy! Old Wang is already so old, so we won't say much. But those two young people, they weren't even thirty yet, they were in the prime of their lives, and they were the pillars of their respective families! Who would have thought that they would lose their lives so inexplicably? It's such a pity, so heartbreaking!"
As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that three of the four dead people were from Wanglou Village.
This naturally includes Grandpa Wang, so in total, only two mid-level cadres came from Wanglou Village.
As for the last person who unfortunately died, it was the security guard who was with Grandpa Wang in the gatehouse.
After Wang Changlin's explanation, the identities of the four deceased were now completely clear in Xiao Weiguo's mind, and they could be matched one by one.
"Village Chief Wang, please don't be too sad or upset."
As the saying goes, "the weather is unpredictable," and many things happen that we cannot foresee. Perhaps it is all as if it were all preordained.
However, the most important thing we have at hand right now is to work together to properly handle the funeral arrangements for this unfortunate employee and strive to give his family a final result that will satisfy them.
I can assure you that our company will never be stingy or miserly towards its employees when it comes to finances.
We will definitely provide full and reasonable compensation so that the deceased can rest in peace and the living can find solace.
Therefore, we hope that Village Chief Wang can play a positive and guiding role in this incident.
After all, you are our village chief, a highly respected figure!
