Chapter 33 It's all over
Especially when the two middle-aged men behind Zhou Huaijin who had been silent slowly walked forward, showed their work certificates from the civil affairs department, and said that they were entrusted by someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the donations.
The village chief felt like he was having a completely illogical nightmare.
How come the plot suddenly changed from him going on TV and receiving praise to being forced to check the accounts?
However, as donors, Chi Yuanshan and his friends have the legitimate right to inquire about the use of their donations. The village chief has no reason and it is impossible for him to refuse in front of so many people.
Especially in front of the two staff members who were commissioned to investigate, wouldn’t his refusal mean that he was guilty? It’s hard to say who will come to check the accounts next time.
Anyone could tell from the village chief's grief-stricken expression that there was something fishy going on, and naturally the villagers who had originally supported him looked at each other in bewilderment.
Having said that, some villagers have realized that they seem to have thanked the wrong person for so many years...
They looked at Chi Wan who was standing aside, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
After all, when Liu Dali got into trouble, who didn’t curse Chi Wan’s family openly or secretly?
Some of the people said harsh words, and they still feel anxious when they think about them now.
Chi Wan didn't bother to care what these people were thinking. If it wasn't for the need to solve the trouble with the village chief, she wouldn't have bothered to perform both the singing and the composing.
She knew that her family would not live in the village forever, so she naturally didn't care about her relationship with the villagers.
The village chief, hunched over and sweating profusely, took people to check the accounts. The villagers, seeing that something was not right, sneaked away. It would probably take less than half a day for what happened at the entrance of the village to reach the ears of all the villagers.
There were also some who were very curious and followed the group from a distance, probably wanting to get first-hand information so they could brag about it.
On the way to check the accounts, a girl who was about the same age as Zhou Huaijin patted Zhou Huaijin from behind and whispered, "Okay, you finally did a good thing. We have a lot of material for today."
She has a well-proportioned figure, slightly taller than Chi Wan, about 175cm tall, with neat short hair, and looks very capable.
Zhou Huaijin smiled and said, "When have I ever lied to you? If you dig deeper into this matter, you will have enough for two issues of the report."
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Chi Wan and said, "Junior sister Wan Wan, this is my senior, Zhuo Yu, who is two years older than me. Senior sister, this is Chi Wan, from the same school, she will be a sophomore next semester, and she is also your junior sister."
Zhuo Yu smiled very cheerfully and put his arm around Chi Wan's shoulders: "Oh, so you are a junior from our school. You are so pretty. Please feel free to contact me if you have any news materials in the future. If the quality is as good as today, you will be my best friend in the future~"
Chi Wan laughed: "Then senior sister, please add me as a friend. I will strive to be your best friend."
Zhou Huaijin on the side pushed Zhuo Yu away after adding her as a friend, and said helplessly: "Hurry up and do your work. Your best friend's happiness in the village depends on you."
Zhuo Yu must have completed the task, and was in a very good mood: "Then wait until I finish the work. Wanwan, my junior sister, I will invite you to dinner when I have time~"
Chi Wan was not repulsed by Zhuo Yu's familiarity, and smiled when he heard it: "You guys helped me with this matter, so I should treat you to a meal."
"Hehe, then I won't be polite with you~" Zhuo Yu agreed generously and took the lead to enter the village committee.
Chi Wan waited for Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe at the door. After all, Chi Wan was not good at checking accounts, and she didn't need to worry about it with Song Yinghe and the others around.
The only reason she stayed was to watch the village chief perform.
The village chief was completely overwhelmed. He regretted more than once that he should not have thought that Chi Yuanshan would not come back and did not keep the accounts very carefully.
Now we can only hope that they don’t discover the foul play in those accounts.
But unfortunately, this is destined to be just a hope.
"Buying fruits from Liu Dali's house... 300,000? The fruits in your village are all produced and sold by yourselves."
"And this, the cost of purchasing fertilizer is 200,000 yuan. This doesn't seem to be included in the scope of donation expenditure, right?"
“And here…”
Amid the staff's repeated questioning, the village chief, who had originally been holding on to hope, suddenly felt a black screen before his eyes, and he instantly lost all his strength and collapsed in his chair.
It's all over this time.
If only Chi Wan's family came to investigate, or if there were only these two staff members, he would have a way to cover up the matter.
But they all gathered together and caught him off guard.
The village chief also understood clearly this time. Chi Wan and Zhou Huaijin did it on purpose!
That so-called interview with the city TV station is fake, coming here as a witness is the real thing!
I just regret that he was used to having everything go his way and was totally unprepared for all this. After all, Chi Yuanshan and the others were all focused on the orchard, and after returning to the village, they never took the initiative to mention donations.
How could he have imagined that a young girl like Chi Wan could quietly dig such a big hole for him, and he happily jumped into it.
The village chief stared at the smiling Chi Wan with a look as if it were poisoned.
But Chi Wan was not afraid at all and glared back.
She heard from Zhou Huaijin that the city TV station was recently producing a program on integrity, and the village chief had been caught in the crossfire this time. If he had not been so aggressive together with Liu Dali before, Chi Wan would not have done such a drastic thing.
But then again, it wasn't Chi Wan who grabbed his hand and told him to be greedy, so to put it bluntly, he deserved it.
When the audit was almost finished, everyone learned from the two staff members the truth about what the village chief had said about "Liu Dali repairing the road".
The fact is, not only did Liu Dali not pay a penny, he also took advantage of his so-called connections and cut corners with the village chief to embezzle more money from the road construction expenses. As for the remaining funds, half was sponsored by the government, and the rest was all sponsored by Chi Yuanshan's money.
This time, the remaining villagers could no longer bear it.
How much they respected the village chief and Liu Dali in the past, how harshly they scolded them now.
"This is the first time I've heard of someone using other people's money for charity and then embezzling it! Ugh! You have no shame when everyone praises you!"
"Liu Dali deserves to be arrested and sent to jail!"
"Chi Yuanshan went bankrupt after bullying others. He thought it wouldn't cause any trouble. Liu Yaozu must be regretting it now. I said Chi Yuanshan is a kind person..."
…
Even if the village chief didn't regret it, it couldn't change the course of events. Regardless of whether the content of the report was critical or not, at least he managed to get the interview with the city TV station that he had always dreamed of.
Song Yinghe and Chi Yuanshan were angry and disappointed: "We trusted you at the beginning, so we didn't ask where the money went. But you took the money and did these things. Don't you feel guilty?!"
The village chief remained silent.
Some things, once started, it is no longer up to him to decide whether they can end.
But for him now, it's all over.
