Upon seeing the scene before him, Gao Qilin couldn't help but make a joke.

Just then, the villagers came over one after another, and said in a complaining tone:

"I don't know what's wrong with these construction teams today. They're not letting us work. We just want the school to be finished as soon as possible. What's wrong with that?"

“I made them do it this way, otherwise it would be too easy for them. Don’t worry, I have given them a construction period, and they will definitely build the school for you within the time limit.”

Faced with the villagers' questions, Gao Qilin told them the truth.

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, the villagers wanted to say something more, but they held back and left after hesitating for a long time.

........ .. 0

Although the villagers no longer participated in helping out, they haven't been idle these past few days.

By this time, they knew that the fruit from their mountain could fetch a high price, so during this period, the villagers would go up the mountain whenever they had free time and began to patiently take care of the fruit trees, giving them a treatment they had never experienced before.

Not many days passed, and Gao Qilin's cell phone suddenly rang.

Because he had been busy with the village's construction these days, few people had contacted him, so he immediately took out his phone to check it when it rang.

"Did Zhao Hu open it? What does he want with me at this time?"

Upon discovering that it was Zhao Hu calling, Gao Qilin appeared quite confused. However, after hesitating for a moment, he answered the call and asked directly:

"Why did you have time to call me, Tiger? Is something wrong on your end?"

"I'm calling to give you some good news."

Chapter 437 With Zhao Hu Backing Him Up

"Good news? What good news?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hu's words, Gao Qilin immediately perked up.

Since the last time Zhao Hu spoke to him was about Zhao Ruilong, he figured this good news must also be about him.

"Didn't I get some fruit from you last time? Now I've sold all of it. Guess how much I made? More than 30 million!"

After saying this, Zhao Hu burst into laughter. After all, he had never imagined that selling fruit could earn so much money, and he quickly said:

"But to be honest, the reason you can sell them for so much money is entirely because the quality of your fruit is better. Here's what we'll do: you tell that village that I'll take care of all their fruit. Whenever the fruit ripens, I'll send someone to collect it. They don't need to worry about the money; I'll only pay more, not less."

However, after hearing Zhao Hu say that, Gao Qilin looked very troubled and remained silent for a long time.

Zhao Hu quickly noticed what was happening on his end and asked:

"What's wrong? You seem downcast. Did something happen?"

"Didn't you tell me before that Zhao Ruilong had discovered our cooperation? Now I'm afraid that he'll find out what we're doing."

When faced with Zhao Hu's question, Gao Qilin expressed his concerns and appeared very worried.

"So what if Zhao Ruilong finds out about our cooperation? Is he going to come and eat me alive? I don't think he has that kind of ability. Don't worry, with me here to protect you, he definitely won't do anything reckless. Just feel free to cooperate with me."

Seeing that Gao Qilin was worried about this matter, Zhao Hu made a promise.

After hearing his words, Gao Qilin felt much more at ease and stopped worrying about the matter.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Tiger. I'll pass on what you told me to the villagers. If all goes well, they'll definitely agree, and then that village will become your exclusive supplier."

In order to get Zhao Hu to contribute more money to the village, Gao Qilin, who had never liked flattery, suddenly started to fawn over him.

"Yes, let this village become my exclusive supplier. But I remember you said before that there are many elderly people in this village, so it would be more suitable to carry out elderly care projects in this village. Speaking of elderly care projects, I want to ask how your situation is progressing. After all, I have invested a lot of money in it, and I can't let it go to waste."

"The elderly care project... is currently facing some difficulties and may not be so easy to carry out."

When Zhao Hu asked about the elderly care project, Gao Qilin looked very troubled.

"Didn't I tell you before that you should just tell me if you encounter any difficulties? Why didn't you listen? Tell me what difficulties you're facing so I can think of some solutions for you."

Upon learning that Gao Qilin was in trouble, Zhao Hu immediately showed concern.

Faced with Zhao Hu's question, Gao Qilin recounted everything that had happened in the past few days.

"If Zhao Ruilong wants to start a senior care project, let him start it. Why can't others continue to do it? That kind of person is really unreasonable."

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Zhao Hu couldn't help but criticize him.

"You don't need to be afraid of this, because I, Zhao Hu, have shares in this retirement project. Even if that kid wanted to mess with you, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. What you need to do now is to do your job well and make sure nothing goes wrong with the retirement project..."

"Don't worry, I will absolutely not let anything go wrong with the elderly care project."

Gao Qilin was waiting for Zhao Hu to say these words. After hearing them, he felt much more at ease and hung up the phone after exchanging a few words with him.

At this moment, Gao Qilin went directly to the village, gathered the villagers together, and told them directly that Zhao Hu wanted to cooperate with them in the long term.

"What? Did we hear that right? That person actually wants to cooperate with us long-term? Are the fruits from our area really that good?"

After hearing Gao Qilin say that, everyone in the village laughed heartily, and the village chief held Gao Qilin's hand tightly and refused to let go.

"I think you're more suitable to be the village chief. How about this, I'll give you the position of village chief. Starting today, you'll be the village chief here. What do you think?"

As soon as the village chief said this, the surrounding villagers immediately expressed their agreement, which shows how popular Gao Qilin is among his 2.8s.

After hearing what they said, Gao Qilin looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before saying:

“I appreciate your kindness, but I’m just a businessman, and being a village chief isn’t really my thing.”

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, the villagers looked visibly disappointed, but since Gao Qilin had already said so, they couldn't insist on anything further.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense and go take care of your fruit trees."

Chapter 438 Inspection

After Gao Qilin said that, the villagers wisely left and did not linger there any longer. After all, they knew in their hearts that those fruit trees were their cash cows.

However, the good days hadn't lasted long when a row of luxury cars suddenly drove up outside the village.

The villagers had never seen anything like it before. Upon seeing those luxury cars, they appeared frightened and immediately went to Gao Qilin to tell him what was happening outside.

"Have there been many more luxury cars outside the village?"

Gao Qilin was very confused after hearing what they said, so he went out with them to check the situation.

As soon as you arrive at the village entrance, a row of luxury cars comes into view.

Although he couldn't see what the other party looked like, Gao Qilin could tell from the demeanor of the convoy that the newcomers were not very friendly.

At this moment, the curious villagers all came forward and surrounded the car, wanting to see what kind of person could afford to ride in such a car.

But just as they stepped forward, a group of bodyguards dressed in black stopped them and said in a warning tone:

"The people sitting in the car are all big shots, people you can't afford to offend. I advise you to get lost, or don't blame us for being impolite."

After saying that, the bodyguards took out stun guns from their pockets and made a warning gesture.

Since the villagers had never seen a stun gun before, they still looked very curious when they saw what the people in their hands.

Upon seeing this, Gao Qilin panicked immediately and quickly stopped them, saying to them:

"You must never touch this stun gun. It's extremely dangerous. It's covered in electricity. If you touch it even lightly, it can electrocute you half to death."

Because Gao Qilin held a very high position here, the villagers all looked very frightened after hearing what he said, and no one dared to take another step forward.

"It seems you've got a knack for scaring people. Just a few simple words and you've terrified them like this."

Upon seeing Gao Qilin like this, a familiar laugh came from the car. Zhao Ruilong, on guard, got out of the car.

"It's you! What brings you here?"

Upon seeing that it was Zhao Ruilong, Gao Qilin immediately became vigilant and inquired about the other party's purpose.

“I came here to conduct an inspection as instructed by the state. I had heard a report that some people here were hiring villagers and driving down their prices, so I wanted to see if this was true.”

"Yes, we are nationally certified. Please don't delay our work. If our investigation is affected because of you, you may not be able to bear the consequences."

Just as Zhao Ruilong finished speaking, a woman's voice rang out from inside the car again, and she got out of the car after saying those words.

The person was none other than Zhao Ruilong's younger sister, Zhao Qinjuan, who was wearing a red armband with the word "inspection" on her shoulder.

Upon seeing the armband, the village chief, who had been silent just moments before, immediately became friendly and stepped forward to assist him.

"Oh, so it's an inspection team sent from above. Why didn't you tell us sooner? If you had notified us earlier, you wouldn't have had to come all this way. We would have come to pick you up."

After saying this, the village chief walked directly to the front and wanted to shake hands with them.

At this moment, Zhao Ruilong and the others looked disgusted and put their hands behind their backs.

Seeing their reaction, the village chief knew he couldn't do anything more and could only stand aside and smile apologetically.

"Since you're here to inspect, let's not waste time here. I'll take you to check it out. If there are any problems, we'll fix them. If there aren't any, you can give us some pointers. What do you think?"

"It seems you have a higher level of understanding. Since you've said so, we really can't refuse. Let's do as you say. You lead the way, and we'll follow behind."

After hearing what the village chief said, Zhao Qinjuan looked very satisfied. She said "820" and followed the village chief into the village.

But at this moment, Gao Qilin stepped forward, pulled the village chief aside, and carefully reminded him:

"Let me tell you, these people are up to no good. He's Zhao Ruilong, whom I've been telling you about before. He's probably done a lot of shady things to you before, so it's better to be careful this time."

"What? He's Zhao Ruilong? Why didn't you tell me sooner? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have been so nice to him, and I would have even had the villagers bring supplies to deal with him. But it's not too late to find out now. You wait, I'll organize the villagers to bring supplies over right away."

After saying that, the village chief immediately changed his attitude and walked towards the place where the villagers were gathered.

"Weren't you going to lead the way for us? Why are you going that way? Is there something you haven't finished taking care of?"
