CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

"What were you thinking? Why are you carrying these things around? Do you think your side job is being a nurse?"

“Your side job is being a nurse, I only take these to treat the fruit trees.”

After hearing Gao Qilin say this, Lin Re also started to complain and walked towards the greenhouse with the cardboard box in his hand.

However, because there were too many things inside the cardboard box, she was too strong to carry it, and she stopped after taking only a few steps.

Chapter 453 Giving the Tree an IV

She turned around and saw that Gao Qilin had no intention of coming to help, so she said in a teasing tone:

"Can't you see what's going on over there? How long would it take me to move all this stuff from here? Can't you come and help me?"

“If he won’t come, I will. If there’s any physical work that requires it, just call me. They’re both scholars, they don’t have much strength, and they won’t be of much help to you if you call them over.”

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, the village chief immediately rushed over, smiled at her a few times, and then hurriedly moved the boxes into the greenhouse.

However, he immediately ran out after putting the things in the greenhouse, looking frightened.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen inside that scared you?"

Upon seeing the village chief's condition, Gao Qilin immediately stepped forward to inquire, fearing that something might have happened to the fruit trees.

"Didn't you say that pesticide 'Nong 16' is a harmful substance? I didn't wear protective clothing when I went in. Do you think I won't survive much longer..."

After he said those words, I felt uncomfortable all over, so I comforted myself:

"But it doesn't matter. If I can make the whole village live a good life, it's worth dying for."

"Are you alright? Although the greenhouse is sprayed with pesticides, these pesticides only work on the plants and have very little harm to us humans. If you don't believe me, I can go in and demonstrate it to you."

After saying that, Lin Ran went inside and stayed for a few minutes before calmly walking out.

"So these pesticides aren't harmful to people? Then why did you tell the villagers that this morning?"

After learning that the pesticide had no harmful effects, the village chief looked puzzled, since he had listened carefully to what they had said.

“If we hadn’t said that back then, do you think the villagers would have listened to me and not gone in? I was just afraid that things would be exposed.”

Seeing that the existence did not understand his intention, Gao Qilin began to explain.

After hearing what he said, the village chief suddenly realized what he meant and said nothing more.

"Alright, since you don't have anything else to do over there, come in and help out. Try to finish the job today so I won't have to keep worrying about your business."

After Gao Qilin explained, Lin Ran urged him on and then went into the greenhouse.

After he went in, the others didn't stay idle either, and they all followed him.

"What you're doing is actually quite simple: hang these bags on the tree, then stick a needle into the trunk to make sure the liquid inside can flow into the tree."

Seeing them come over, Lin Ran began to explain the operating procedures to them.

"Isn't this just like receiving an IV drip? I never thought trees could receive IV drips these days."

Seeing Lin Ran's actions, the village chief couldn't help but sigh. In order not to delay the process, he moved extremely quickly. In less than half an hour, he had applied nutrient solution to most of the trees in the orchard by himself.

Because he was moving so fast, Gao Qilin and the others had only just finished and were about to rest when they discovered that the village chief had already finished all the trees.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Gao Qilin feigned surprise and exclaimed:

"You're so fast! We've only just started working on this, and you've already finished all these trees by yourself."

“I grew up doing farm work, so it’s normal that I can do these things faster than you. Besides, you’ve been busy with village affairs these days, so it would be really unreasonable if I didn’t do something in return.”

After saying that, the village chief walked out of the greenhouse, took out the water he had prepared in advance, and handed it to Gao Qilin, as if it was Gao Qilin and the others who were suffering, not him.

Seeing the village chief's reaction, Gao Qilin looked embarrassed, but after the village chief declined several times, he finally accepted the water (833) and started drinking it.

"You've all worked so hard these past few days. If it weren't for your help, I really wouldn't know how to handle this situation."

After Gao Qilin finished drinking the water, the village chief began to open up and showed a very grateful expression.

"This is what we should do. After all, we are in charge of your poverty alleviation work now. If there are any problems with these fruit trees, we will be held responsible. So don't worry about it."

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Gao Qilin immediately responded, but after he finished speaking, he felt someone moving behind him.

Looking back, she saw Lin Ran poking herself with her finger.

Is something wrong on your end?

Upon seeing Lin Ran, Gao Qilin appeared quite confused and instinctively looked around to see if there was anything that hadn't been resolved.

"Didn't you tell me before that you'd give me the rest of the money after it was all done? Now that everything's settled, look at the money..."

Chapter 454 Unexpected Encounters on the Way

Lin Ran stopped there.

Although she loves money, she also cares about her image, so whenever she asks others for their wages, she always acts embarrassed, as if she has lost money for them.

"Oh, it's about money. Don't worry, I won't shortchange you."

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Gao Qilin realized that he still had money to give her, so he began to rummage through his pockets.

However, after fiddling with it for a while, the expression on his face froze, and he explained to her:

"Since I came here to help the poor, I didn't bring much money with me. I gave you all the money I had before. You shouldn't be in a hurry for that money now, right? How about this, you wait here for a while, and I'll go back and get it for you."

"You... well, you should go back and get it. I'm free right now anyway, I'll just wait for you here."

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, Lin Ran looked helpless, but since he was Gao Qilan's brother, she couldn't say anything and simply told him to go back and get it.

After seeing that Lin Ran agreed, Gao Qilin didn't dare to waste any time and quickly contacted his driver to bring the car over to pick him up.

Since the closest company to this place is Qiangsheng Group, Gao Qilin did not intend to go back directly, but instead planned to take some money from Qiangsheng Group.

However, as soon as he arrived at Qiangsheng Group, his secretary rushed over, looking very anxious.

Seeing his secretary like this, Gao Qilin had a bad feeling and quickly asked:

"What happened on your end? Why are you so panicked?"

"Zhao Ruilong personally came to see you again this morning."

"What? This guy actually came here looking for me."

Gao Qilin looked very surprised after hearing what the secretary said. He never expected Zhao Ruilong to be so bold.

However, what intrigued Gao Qilin the most was Zhao Ruilong's purpose in coming to see him, so he asked again:

"What did he want to talk to me about? Did he tell you?"

"I don't know about that. He left as soon as he found out you weren't at Qiangsheng Group, and he didn't answer any of our questions."

"What exactly is his purpose in contacting me?"

After hearing what his assistant said, Gao Qilin looked very confused, racking his brains but still unable to figure out what Zhao Ruilong's purpose was in contacting him.

"Forget it, let him do whatever he wants. I'm here to collect money. Quickly prepare 200,000 yuan for me; I have an urgent need for it."

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, Gao Qilin stopped paying attention to him and didn't want to waste any more time on Zhao Ruilong.

"Huh? Two hundred thousand? What do you need so much money for?"

"Don't worry about me having that much money. Just find it for me quickly, I need it urgently."

When his assistant asked such a question, Gao Qilin appeared very impatient and began to urge him on.

Seeing Gao Qilin's anxiety, the assistant dared not say anything more and immediately did as he was told, and soon brought over a card.

"Thank you for your help. I have some things to take care of, so I'll go out for a bit. If there's any emergency regarding the salary, just call me. Don't wait for me to come back."

Gao Qilin was afraid that he would miss a lot of important information while he was helping with poverty alleviation, so he gave him a special reminder before he left.

"Don't worry, I will definitely contact you if anything happens. This time it's just that the timing is too coincidental. Zhao Ruilong just left and you came back not long after."

At this moment, the secretary thought Gao Qilin was blaming her, so she began to explain.

"Alright, I know all of that."

However, Gao Qilin didn't pay much attention to it and left directly after saying those words.

But just as he stepped out the door, his phone suddenly rang.

"Who is it that's calling me at this hour?"

When someone called, Gao Qilin appeared very impatient.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Zhao Hu calling, which made Gao Qilin realize that there was something else he needed to deal with.

"Can't I have a break these two days? I haven't even finished what I'm doing, and now this is happening again."

Upon seeing this, Gao Qilin couldn't help but complain.

Despite his complaints, he still answered the phone (Qian Haohao) after saying that, and looked like he had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Tiger, what brings you to call me today? Is something wrong on your end?"

"Nothing much is going on my end, I'm just a bit bored lately and was thinking of inviting you over for a cup of tea. Would that be appropriate?"

When Zhao Hu called him simply to drink tea, Gao Qilin looked utterly dejected.

However, he didn't show it, but instead said in the same tone:

"Well... I don't think I'm in a good position right now. I have a lot of things to take care of. How about this, Tiger, you wait a few days, and after I've finished what I'm doing, I'll invite you for tea, okay?" (He was) bitter.
