Only then did Gao Qilin realize that the person next to him was a hardworking farmer who had spent his entire life cultivating the land, and that the farmer had far more experience in planting than he did.
Thinking of this, Gao Qilin stopped asking questions and instead focused his attention on the liquid on the leaves.
"If that's the case, then I think the problem lies in this liquid. If I'm not mistaken, what's on it should be pesticide."
Chapter 444 Sudden Appearance
To ensure the accuracy of his statement, Gao Qilin even smelled his hands after speaking to confirm it.
“Pesticides? That shouldn’t be the case. The people in our village are very poor, and no one can afford this stuff.”
After hearing Gao Qilin's words, the village chief looked puzzled and fell into deep thought, wondering who had sold the pesticides.
"Wait, I'll gather everyone in the village first thing tomorrow morning and get to the bottom of this."

“You don’t need to ask them anymore. Even if they really have the money to buy pesticides, they should be buying pesticides that are beneficial to this tree. No one would be so idle as to buy poison for that tree. So I suspect that all of this was done by Zhao Ruilong.”
Seeing that the village chief thought it was someone from his own village who dared to do it, Gao Qilin immediately explained and also shared his thoughts.
"Zhao Ruilong? Is that the person who came to inspect today? He's really up to no good. How could he come up with such a method? What, is it so painful to see us making money?"
After hearing Gao Qilin's words, the village chief couldn't help but complain, and his heart was filled with anger.
After all, those fruit trees were the source of income for everyone in the village, and now that there was a problem with those trees, it was equivalent to cutting off his mother's source of income.
"No, I can't swallow this! Tell me where he is right now, I'll go and take care of him and make him pay with his life for those fruit trees!"
At this point, the village could no longer contain its anger and grabbed a hoe, ready to rush out.
Seeing this, Gao Qilin quickly stopped him and continued:
"Do you think rushing out like this will solve the problem? I don't think so. Rushing out like this will only bring you more trouble. You should have seen what happened today. They have more than a dozen bodyguards with them. Do you think you can handle them all by yourself?"
Gao Qilin didn't say these things to discourage the village chief; he just wanted him to face reality and not do anything impulsive.
“So what if they have more people? There are several hundred people in our village. I’ll tell them about this, and I believe they will join me in condemning Zhao Ruilong.”
Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, the village chief immediately shared his thoughts and then ran down the mountain to gather the villagers together.
Seeing that the village chief did not understand his intention, Gao Qilin looked helpless and stopped him again.
"Why do you keep stopping me? Are you in cahoots with that Zhao Ruilong?"
Since the village chief was at the head of the village at that moment, he felt that Gao Qilin was doing this on purpose after seeing his actions.
“I’m stopping you precisely because I’m not on his side. Now that the fruit trees are in trouble, I think we should focus all our attention on them. You should know that these trees will be bearing new fruit again in a few days. You don’t want to delay their fruiting because of this, do you?”
"This……"
After hearing what Gao Qilin said, the village chief stopped, but after thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't think of any way to save the fruit trees.
"As you can see, all the leaves on the fruit trees have fallen off. Based on our experience as farmers, this means that the fruit trees are dead. They are already dead, so how can we save them?"
“Who says you can’t save someone who’s dead? Here’s what we’ll do: you go back and rest first. Tomorrow, gather the villagers together, and I’ll explain my method to them.”
Do you have a solution?
Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, the village chief immediately perked up and stared intently at Gao Qilin. He never expected that the man in front of him, who had never even farmed the land, would know such things.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you? Alright, go back and rest. If you don't get enough rest tomorrow, things might have to drag on even longer."
In order not to disturb Gao Qilin's rest, after hearing what Gao Qilin said, the village chief said a brief goodbye to Gao Qilin and left directly.
After the village chief left, Gao Qilin focused his attention on the fruit trees in front of him. Looking at everything before him, he appeared quite troubled and helplessly muttered:
"How am I going to explain this to the villagers tomorrow? Am I supposed to tell them that I (Qian Le Zhao) couldn't do anything about it and just let them fend for themselves?"
"You've already promised them, it's really not appropriate for you to say that again."
However, just as Gao Qilin finished speaking, Gao Qilan's voice came from the side.
Upon hearing Gao Qilan's voice, Gao Qilin immediately composed himself and asked:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you running here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"How dare you talk to me like that? I finally managed to fall asleep last night, and then I was woken up by the noise from your place. When I saw you come out, I was a little worried, so I naturally followed you."
After hearing Gao Qilin say that, Gao Qilan looked very angry.
Chapter 445 It's Not That Difficult
However, she quickly realized that her behavior was inappropriate for the occasion, so she immediately adjusted her demeanor and asked:
"So, have you figured out a solution yet?"
"Don't say anything more. I have no clue at all. When I told the village chief that I had a solution, I just wanted to tell him not to be so anxious."
At this moment, Gao Qilin looked quite helpless.
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. I had a college classmate who studied agriculture; maybe he can find a solution to the current situation."
After saying that, Gao Qilan immediately picked up her phone and contacted her college classmate.
Because they had a good relationship in college, as soon as they heard that something had happened to Gao Qilin, the other party rushed over overnight without thinking.
However, when Gao Qilan's classmates saw what was in front of them, they looked disgusted and couldn't help but complain:
"What's wrong with you these past two years? How did you end up here? If you really can't make it, come with me. The environment over there is much better than here."
After saying that, he prepared to leave with Gao Qilan.
But she hadn't taken two steps when she heard Gao Qilin coughing beside her. Only after hearing the sound did she realize that there was someone else besides Gao Qilan, and she became much more restrained than before.
Seeing that the other party did not speak again, Gao Qilin directly explained the situation here.
"The fruit trees here have been framed, so we want you to come and take a look and see if there's any way to save them. Don't worry, as long as you can handle this matter well, you'll definitely be well paid."
It was clear from her tone that she was very interested in money, even to the point of being materialistic, so Gao Qilin decided to start with money.
"How much are you willing to pay? Don't forget I just rushed over here overnight. If the money is too little, I won't dare to accept it."
Upon hearing Gao Qilin mention money, the other party immediately became interested and focused all their attention on Gao Qilin.
"Six figures? Don't worry, as long as these fruit trees can be cured, the money will definitely only increase, not decrease."
Upon hearing the figure of six figures, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she focused her attention on the fruit trees.
However, after examining the situation, she appeared bewildered.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that these fruit trees are damaged too badly. If we want to save them, it will take a lot of time and money. I think it’s better to remove these trees and replace them with new ones. What do you think?”
After hesitating for a while, she expressed her thoughts and sought Gao Qilin's approval.
In fact, Gao Qilin had thought of this long ago, but these were the fruit trees that the farmers had painstakingly cultivated, so they naturally knew what those fruit trees looked like.
If they were to be suddenly replaced, the farmers would definitely notice, so Gao Qilin refused without even thinking after hearing these words.
"No, your method won't work. These fruit trees are very important to us. If we follow your method, then what did we call you here for? Do you think we can't come up with some new ones?"
"This……"
After hearing Gao Qilin's words, the other party looked very embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Gao Qilin, who was standing nearby, noticed his classmate's situation and immediately stepped forward to help her out. He then said to Gao Qilin:
"This is my classmate, so let's be polite. Besides, he came all this way at this hour, so he must really want to help us."
After saying this, Gao Qilan turned her attention back to her classmate and asked:
"Think about it again, is there any good solution? These fruit trees are really important to us."
After seeing Gao Qilan say this, the other party realized the seriousness of the matter and did not say anything more, focusing their attention back on the fruit trees.
After some investigation, she found a solution.
"Actually, these fruit trees are easy to manage. Just build them special greenhouses and spray them with pesticides regularly, and they will recover to their previous state in a few days."
"I thought it would be much more difficult, but it turns out it's just this simple. Just tell me what kind of pesticides you need, and I'll go buy them right now."
Upon hearing the steps, Gao Qilin immediately showed an eagerness, as not a minute could be wasted now.
"No rush. That kind of pesticide is very common. It's sold in most regular agricultural stores. If I remember correctly, it's about five kilometers outside this village."
Seeing Gao Qilin's worry about pesticides, the other party explained it to him.
Gao Qilin felt much more at ease after learning that he could buy it nearby. He also knew that people would definitely not be open to sell it at this time.
"But the hardest part is the greenhouse. Your orchard is so big; it would require a lot of plastic sheeting to build. Where are you going to get that?"
Chapter 446 The Need for Greenhouses
Seeing that Gao Qilin agreed so readily, the other party immediately pointed out the difficulties and made him realize the current situation.
This made Gao Qilin realize that there wasn't a decent shopping mall within several miles of the village, and it was indeed difficult to find a large quantity of plastic film.
Seeing Gao Qilin's bewildered expression, Lin Ran, as if spotting a business opportunity, immediately stepped forward and offered her own suggestion:
"If you don't mind, I can find the materials you need to build the greenhouse. I have connections, so I can guarantee you'll be satisfied with both the price and the quality."
"I understand now. You told me all that just to get me to buy your greenhouse."
After hearing Lin Ran's words, Gao Qilin realized something and continued to question her:
"Do those fruit trees really need greenhouses? Don't just create this on purpose to make money."
“You can doubt my character, but you can’t doubt my professional competence. If you don’t believe me, I can just leave. There’s no need to keep arguing with me.”
