Chapter 161: Yue Bai

Seeing Qian Youyu at a glance, I got angry. Staring with eyes like bull eggs, I roared: "You still dare to come?"

Qian Youyu laughed and said, "Why wouldn't I dare to come? If I don't come, your mineral water factory will have to find the Heavenly King to do it! Your shitty Suxi Township, is it a dragon's pool or a tiger's den? Besides this bit of water, what else is worth roaring about?"

My anger was immediately like being poured with a bucket of cold water, disappearing without a trace.

In front of the local boss, I couldn't lose my status, otherwise, how would I mix with him in the future? Therefore, I still feigned anger, gritted my teeth and said, "If you, Qian Youyu, die, will I not be able to eat?"

"Alright, alright. You're still cursing, like an old woman, is it interesting?" Qian Youyu changed to a serious attitude, and at first glance, it looked like something. Qian Youyu managed the eating, drinking, and defecating of over a thousand people in Yuetang Village, so naturally, he was no ordinary person. My heart was as clear as a mirror.

"Come in and sit," I lowered my voice. On the surface, I was still angry, but in fact, I had already been defeated.

"Come, smoke a pack of good cigarettes," Qian Youyu threw me a pack of "Yellow Crane Tower," exquisitely packaged, and I knew at a glance that it was worth a lot.

"Anything to find me?" I slumped into the chair, tore open the "Yellow Crane Tower," took out one, and lit it.

"Nothing. Just came to see you," he said lightly.

"You have nothing, but I have something. Boss Qian, you trafficked women, I want to pursue your responsibility," I said, looking at Yue Bai. She was brewing tea with her head lowered, turning a deaf ear to my words.

Qian Youyu still laughed and said, "Brother, who did I traffic? You didn't see Little Liu standing here safe and sound. Look, did she lose a piece of meat?"

My eyes swept over Yue Bai's plump and round buttocks, and I said hatefully, "If she lost a piece of meat, you go to the police station and say it. I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

"Do I dare?" Qian Youyu said, "Little Liu is a state cadre, and I am just a peasant. If you want to talk about trafficking, it should be her trafficking me. What do I have to traffic her?"

Yue Bai rolled her eyes at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're decades old, and your speech has no path."

Qian Youyu looked at Yue Bai with infinite love and said, "You don't see what kind of hat your leader is putting on me. You say, am I willing?"

A flush of red flew onto Yue Bai's face. She brewed tea for us and said, "You guys talk, I'll go out first." She pulled the door and floated away.

Only the two of us were left in the room. Thinking of Qian Youyu saying I gave him a hat, my heart cramped. Damn it, what hat did I give you? I'll give you a green hat!

"Tell me, what did you gain from going out this time?" I finally calmed down and asked him calmly.

"If you want to talk about gains, there really are," Qian Youyu drank a sip of water and said slowly, "This person, if you don't go out, you don't know. Once you go out, you know how big the world outside is. I say, don't talk about our Chunshan County, even Hengyue City, compared with others, is afraid that it has fallen behind for decades."

"How is it falling behind?"

"Brother, you don't know. This time we went to inspect, what we ate, what we lived in, what we saw, and what we played, they were all things I hadn't seen in my life. This time I paid special attention to water. In other people's homes, everyone drinks mineral water, unlike us, who boil a pot of water to drink."

"What does this mean?"

"It means that the market for mineral water is broad and has a future."

"Then what are you still thinking about?"

"I didn't think about anything. This is it, I came back in a hurry, just to ask for an idea from you." He looked at me, appearing pitiful.

"What idea do I have for you?" I played hard to get.

"Aren't you always thinking about starting a mineral water factory in Laoyingzui?"

"It doesn't have to be you who starts it," I said, pointing outside: "Do you know who was here just now?"

He shook his head and said, "A bit familiar."

"I tell you, it's our Suxi Township's peasant entrepreneur, named Sun Demao. He also has a construction company in Hengyue City. A wealthy and powerful person," I said, "He came, also for this project."

Qian Youyu was clearly taken aback, panicked and said, "Brother, you promised me first. You can't tear down the bridge after crossing it."

"I won't tear down the bridge. My idea is very simple: whoever is sincere will do this project," I said lightly, observing Qian Youyu's reaction.

Qian Youyu frowned, took out a cigarette, lit it with the cigarette butt in his hand, looked at me nervously and said, "I promised Little Liu. She will help me with everything in the water factory. I am a big rough guy, and with her managing it, I am relieved."

"Little Liu is a cadre in our township government," I said, "How can she help you?"

"Like this, this is what I think," Qian Youyu poured out a string of words like beans from a bamboo tube, making me happy: "We join shares, our township government and our Yuetang Village join shares, you provide the land, we provide the funds. Half of the workers in the factory are from each side, and we each take half of the profits. What do you think?"

I remained calm, but in fact, I was churning in my heart. Qian Youyu, you old fox, you dared to offer such conditions, which means I have pinched your seven inches. Do you still dare to be naughty?

"No," I said decisively, "This won't work. The township government has no money to pay for the land."

"We can pay first and deduct it from the profits later, is that okay?"

"Can consider it," I said, throwing him a "Yellow Crane Tower": "Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."

"I am not a Buddha. I am at most a bull-headed horse-faced," Qian Youyu smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the fact that I told this news early, and if it weren't for the fact that I wouldn't cooperate with Town Mayor Deng even if I died, I wouldn't have fallen into your hands today."

"Your words are heavy," I warned him: "You are a big boss, you should consider the life of the thousand people in your village. I heard that the expressway has acquired all the land in your village. You, Boss Qian, now don't think of a way to find a way out, take some land compensation and eat it, what will you do in the future? Even if this generation has food, what about the next generation? You are doing good things for the common people of Yuetang Village, and you are also accumulating virtue for yourself."

Qian Boss heard this and returned to his laughing form, saying: "Accumulating virtue, accumulating virtue. I also think so. If I don't accumulate virtue, how could God send Little Liu to my side?"

"What do you want to do with our Little Liu?"

"Nothing. I lost my wife, she has no husband, can't we live together?"

"You are impressive!" I gave him a thumbs up.

"Thanks to you, brother. Without you, where would I dare to think that I would find a woman like Little Liu in this life. I really want to thank you." He was sincere, a color of happiness floating on his face.

"Have you told her?"

"Told her. We agreed that the day the factory is built is the day we hold our wedding," Qian Youyu was immersed in happiness: "By then, you must drink a few more cups." 【161-49

"Have you told her?"

"I have. We've agreed that the day the factory is completed will be the day we hold our wedding." Qian Youyu was immersed in happiness: "When the time comes, you must drink a few extra cups."

"I definitely will!" I said. A pang of pain struck my heart; from now on, the enchanting Yue Bai would no longer belong to me, and I began to grieve in my heart. I had many women, but only Yue Bai could give me such boundless passion.

"Little Brother, I've hired a design institute to prepare the blueprints for the water plant. Once the drawings are out, we'll launch the project and start construction. What do you think?"

"Of course that's good," I said. "As long as you, Boss Qian, have made up your mind, we in Suxi Township will certainly help you get started, and the Township Party Committee and government will personally see you off on your journey."

"Thank you, truly thank you." Boss Qian stood up gratefully and blurted out, "The first time I met you, Little Brother, I knew we were destined to be connected. You aren't like Town Mayor Deng, who only thinks about scheming against me. You are doing things for the common people, without selfish motives. I trust you."

I smiled and said, "Boss Qian, a gentleman does not speak ill of others behind their backs!"

"Hahaha." He laughed, mocking himself, and said, "I am no gentleman. I am a true petty person. You, Little Brother, are the real gentleman."

"Shall we go together to report to Secretary Guo?" I asked, seeking his opinion.

"No need," Boss Qian refused me, saying, "In Suxi Township, I only recognize you. Xiao Liu also said that as long as you are in charge of this project, we will definitely invest. Otherwise, no matter how good the conditions are, we won't invest."

I stared at him and said, "You shouldn't say it like that."

"That's just how I think." He reached out to me, shook my hand, and said, "I'm leaving now. I need to go to the provincial capital to keep an eye on the design institute. I've brought Xiao Liu back. Don't go accusing me of human trafficking again."

I said with a smile, "I was just joking, you took it seriously?"

"I know you were joking." Boss Qian walked to the door, turned back, and said, "Little Brother, wait for my good news."

I accompanied him downstairs, saw him into his car, and watched as he sped away, leaving a trail of dust. A sudden sense of satisfaction welled up in my heart.

Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name. I turned around and saw Sun Demao sitting in a car, smiling and poking his head out to greet me.

"Was that Old Qian from Yuetang Village just now?" Sun Demao got out of the car and ran over to me to ask.

"You know him?"

"I do."

"If you know him, why didn't you say hello?" I asked, puzzled.

"Township Head Chen, you know, competitors are enemies. We only know each other; we've never had any dealings," Sun Demao said with a fawning smile.

I gave an "oh" and said, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"I saw Old Qian when I came out just now. Is he also looking to take on the township government's project?" Sun Demao asked nervously.

"What do you think?"

"Township Head Chen, I am a native of Suxi. If this project is given to an outsider, people will think Suxi Township really has no talent of its own, don't you think?"

I smiled and said, "There are so many projects in Beijing; do you think they are all done by Beijingers? Would an outsider dare to say Beijing has no talent?"

Sun Demao smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not what I meant."

I smiled, stopped paying attention to him, and went upstairs on my own. At the corner, I saw Yue Bai coming down. When she saw me, a rosy flush flew across her previously calm face.

"Can I go to your office and sit for a while?" she asked me softly.

"Sure," I readily agreed.
