So the village chief lowered his head and said nothing more. When the old branch secretary saw the village chief's reaction, he knew that he was up to something.
The old Party secretary sighed and said to the village chief with great sorrow: "Li Weiguo, you are so foolish! You are wasting your good life and committing a sin!"
"Old Party Secretary, we can't just let him off like this! He has screwed our entire village so badly! Look, Ye Li and the others are about to terminate their cooperation with us!"
"Yes, the machines have all been taken away!"
The villagers were busy fighting, and now they looked back and saw that all the machines in the weaving room were gone. Only the empty shell of the house was left.
"Ye Li, let me ask you. Do you still want to cooperate with our Qingshan Village?" The old branch secretary looked at Ye Li with calm and kind eyes.
"I think!"
Hearing Ye Li's answer, the villagers of Qingshan Village all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since you want to cooperate with us, why do you want to take all the machines away?"
...
...
Some people raised objections.
"I want to continue cooperating with you, but not in the same way as before. The Qingshan Village processing site is no longer meaningful."
"It's not the way we cooperated before, so what should we do next?"
"Yes, Ye Li, you are not lying to us, are you afraid that you will be embarrassed to tell the old branch secretary that you want to terminate the cooperation with us?"
The villagers didn’t know what Ye Li was trying to do. It seemed that Qingshan Village had been abandoned by Ye Li, so everyone started asking questions.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Just listen to what Ye Li has to say."
The old branch secretary's words made the scene quiet down.
"My next plan is this. All the weaving and clothing workshops in Qingshan Village will be closed down. If any of our fellow villagers want to continue working with me, they can come to the city! I will build a weaving and clothing factory in the city that is larger than the one in Qingshan Village. Anyone who wants to come can sign up! Villagers from our Qingshan Village will be given priority for employment!"
After Ye Li's matter was announced, everyone started talking to each other.
"So we can still do this business? That's great!"
"But the city is quite far from the village. How can I get to and from get off work? I can't always take the bus, right? It would cost a lot of money just to take the bus in a month!"
The villagers really wanted to go to Ye Li’s new factory, but the problem of distance became the first thing they had to solve.
"Regarding this issue that everyone is concerned about, let me explain one more thing. The newly built factory is equipped with dormitories and a canteen. If it is inconvenient for us to go back to the village, we can live directly in the dormitories and eat in the canteen. All-inclusive!"
"That's great! All meals and lodging are included!"
"That's right! This is better than the treatment in the village!"
"That's right! It's great to work in the city and be able to go around during breaks!"
When everyone heard this exciting news, they had already forgotten all the unpleasantness they had just experienced. Some people thought that it was a good thing for Ye Li to put the new factory in the city.
Seeing everyone's reactions, the old branch secretary showed a satisfied smile. He knew that Ye Li would not let him down.
"Wait! Has your new factory been built?" the village chief asked unwillingly.
The village chief finally understood why Ye Li was so willing to turn against him. He had already thought of a way out for himself.
"It's under construction and will be online next month." Ye Li replied.
Hearing Ye Li's answer, the village chief regretted so much that his back teeth broke. He had originally wanted to control Ye Li, but who knew that his plan would fail.
"Now that everything is clear, let's all go. Anyone who wants to work at Ye Li's new factory can go to Ye Li to sign up. We will hold a village meeting tomorrow to re-elect the village chief! Li Weiguo, you accepted bribes and did something behind my back. I suggest you turn yourself in!"
After the old branch secretary finished speaking, he leaned on his crutches and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the village chief grabbed the old party secretary's hand and begged for mercy: "Old party secretary, I was wrong! I was blinded by lard! Give me another chance! I will definitely turn over a new leaf!"
"What's the point of begging me for mercy! The money in your hands belongs to the villagers who worked there! If you want to ask for mercy, you should ask them for it!"
After the old branch secretary finished speaking, he shook off the village chief's hand and slowly left the crowd on his crutches.
"Village Chief, remember to turn yourself in tomorrow! If you don't go, don't blame us for being rude!"
"Why are we waiting for tomorrow! Let's send him to the police station now!"
Seeing that the villagers were very dissatisfied with him, Li Weiguo bowed deeply to everyone and said: "My fellow villagers, it's because I was too greedy. Now I regret it very much! I will definitely find a way to make it up to you. Please be kind and don't send me to the police station! I will compensate you for your losses. I will give you all the money I collected!"
"We don't need your dirty money!"
"That's right! We could have worked in the village, but now we have to leave and go to the city. Do you know how much trouble you've caused us? Not everyone wants to live in the city!"
It is true that some young villagers want to work and live in the city, while some old people do not want to leave the village. Now Ye Li has moved all the factories away, and those who do not want to leave the village have to leave.
When the village chief heard that some people didn't want to leave home, his brain worked fast and he came up with a good idea.
Since Ye Li left Qingshan Village, he could definitely support the factory in Qingshan Village! Wasn't it just that some equipment was taken away? He could just cooperate with Boss Liu and let Boss Liu get the equipment, right?
"Everyone, listen to me. I have a good idea! If any of you don't want to follow Ye Li to work in the city, we can still stay in Qingshan Village! I will take care of the follow-up work problems!"
"How do you solve this problem? We don't even have any machinery or equipment!"
"If you don't have it, I can buy it! You don't have to pay for it. How about I find an investor? Then I can buy the equipment back and continue to process clothes in Qingshan Village! When I make money, I won't take a penny and I will share it all with you! Just consider it my atonement."
After hearing what the village chief said, some people hesitated. Those who did not want to leave the village began to have illusions about the big cake painted by the village chief.
"Village Chief, you said it! Then we will give you a month's grace period. If the factory is up and running by then, we won't send you to the police station. But if the factory is not up and running, I'm sorry, you still have to go to jail!"
When the village chief heard these words, he immediately nodded continuously.
"Sister, we can't let Li Weiguo go!" Nie Fan became anxious when he saw that the village chief's speech was recognized by everyone.
"Don't worry, the village chief's factory can't be run!" Ye Li said with a curled lip corner.
