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

Because the villagers were all feeling incredibly heavy-hearted, they didn't say anything in response to Lin Ran's words. Instead, they immediately started working on the saplings in her hands.

Perhaps because they were so sad, they were very efficient throughout the process and planted all the seedlings in no time.

To prevent a recurrence of the tragedy, after seeing that all the fruit trees had been planted, the village chief immediately ran to Lin Ran's side and asked:

"Are there any precautions to take with these saplings? Can you tell me everything so that we don't have to go through the same situation again, where all those fruit trees died for nothing?"

"There are no special precautions. Just like when you plant crops, check on them whenever you have time, and you'll be fine. But don't worry, I'll come to check on things every few days to make sure this doesn't happen again."

At this moment, Lin Ran was also a little worried about the situation here. In addition, he had nothing to do these days, so he decided to focus all his attention on the fruit trees.

"That's really a lot of trouble for you. With you looking after things, we'll feel much more at ease and won't have to put all our energy into this."

Gao Qilin was very grateful after hearing Lin Ran's words and immediately stepped forward to express his gratitude.

"It's nothing, it's all I should do. After all, I took a lot of money from you before. If I don't do something after taking so much money, my conscience will be a little uneasy."

Seeing Lin Ran say that, Gao Qilin didn't know what else to say. After all, things were just as she said; the reason she worked so hard was entirely for money.

"Alright, everything seems to be settled here, so there shouldn't be anything else for us to do. We'll leave now. If anything comes up later, just give us a call, and we'll be there whenever you need us."

Seeing that time was almost up, Gao Qilin saw no need to stay any longer and prepared to leave after saying those words.

But at this moment, a villager stopped them and asked:

“If these fruit trees are gone, how will we make money? We’ve finally experienced the life of the rich, and we don’t want to lose that life because of an accident.”

"That's right. We worked honestly and diligently before, and I felt that we deserved it. Now that we've suddenly lost it, we really can't accept it."

"Moreover, these fruit trees were left to us by our ancestors. Now that they have been suddenly cut down, we are naturally very unhappy. When do you think we can bring Zhao Ruilong here so we can teach him a lesson?"

……

The villagers' stories varied, but most were about the fruit trees and Zhao Ruilong. Faced with their question, Gao Qilin answered with certainty:

"You don't need to worry about money. After these new fruit trees are planted, they will still bring you a considerable income. As for the immediate profits, you should focus all your attention on the crops. Once they are ripe, I will send people to harvest them, and we will definitely get a good price."

"As for Zhao Ruilong's matter... I'm handling it on my end, but don't worry, I'll give you a definite answer soon. I'll definitely bring him here then to confess his crimes!"

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, the villagers felt relieved and much more at ease.

However, just as Gao Qilin finished speaking, Gao Qilan pulled him aside and whispered:

"Are you not thinking before you speak? We're in a crisis right now. We agreed not to cooperate with anyone. Also, although we have some money, it's all dead money. Once it's used up, we won't have anything else to use. Are you sure you want to give them this money? If you do, what will we do after that? Do you think it will be effective?"

After saying this, Gao Qilan turned around to look at herself, afraid that the villagers might hear her words and worry them.

"Don't worry, I have my reasons for saying this. I only say things after I've made sure everything is foolproof. You can rest assured."

Faced with Gao Qilan's concerns, Gao Qilin appeared quite calm. After saying this, he went to Lin Ran's side and instructed her:

"We'll leave those fruit trees in the village to you. If they're doing well when we come back, we'll give you a large sum of money. But if the fruit trees have been replaced by a different batch when we get back, we probably won't work with you again. If we have such an opportunity in the future, we'll probably have to give it to someone else."

"Don't worry, I will take care of these fruit trees as if they were my own children."

Chapter 509 Seeking Help from Fifth Master

Upon hearing Gao Qilan's words, Gao Qilin initially wanted to refute them, but after careful consideration, he realized that he had entered without even trying.

To deny it is indeed somewhat unreasonable.

With that thought in mind, Gao Qilin focused his attention, adjusted his state, and then directly called Fifth Master.

"What's wrong with you today? Why do you have time to call me?"

Since Gao Qilin hadn't called Fifth Master even once in all the days since his return, he reacted with...

He came across as skeptical.

"You should know why I went back; I went back to handle some matters. Now that those matters are resolved, I'll naturally call you."

It is. ”

Faced with Fifth Master's questioning, Gao Qilin immediately explained his situation and appeared very sincere.

Come.

"Oh, I see. So you called me this time because you need something from me, right? We're in this kind of relationship now, so it's understandable that you need something."

There's no need to hide anything. If there's anything you need my help with, just say so. I'll do my best to help in any way I can.

of. ”

Although Gao Qilin didn't explain why he came, Fifth Master guessed it at a glance and asked directly, after all, he also...

I'm not the kind of person who likes to dawdle.

"Since even you, Fifth Master, have figured it out, I can no longer hide it from you. The reason I came to you this time is to ask for your help in resolving..."

Let me briefly mention what happened in the stock market that day. It had absolutely nothing to do with me; they were the ones who invested based on my recommendations.

"And then they didn't stop, that's not my fault."

Gao Qilin almost cried when he said this, because no one wants to be burdened with such a huge accusation.

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Fifth Master burst into laughter and continued:

"I know you didn't do this without you saying it, and I believe you would never do such a thing."

"If you trust me, things will be much easier. Right now, I'm being misunderstood, so I'd like you to help explain and prove my innocence."

Please clear my name.

Seeing that Fifth Master believed him, Gao Qilin immediately became excited, after all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But at this moment, Fifth Master began to hesitate, giving the impression that he was in a difficult position.

After a moment of silence, Fifth Master said in an apologetic tone:

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that you should know the current situation. We're not very close, and this matter..."

This is a big deal, and if things go wrong, I might get implicated too, so it's not really my place to help you. You'll have to handle this yourself this time.

Don't worry, as long as you can handle this matter well, I will definitely take good care of you afterwards.

Although Fifth Master's refusal was rather tactful, Gao Qilin could still tell that he didn't want to help him, so upon hearing his words...

After that, he didn't say anything more, and after exchanging some polite words, he prepared to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered that I have something here that might help you."

Just as Gao Qilin was about to hang up the phone, Lin Fan spoke again.

"One thing?"

"I know you need money recently. Actually, this matter is easy to handle. As long as the money is in place, anything can be resolved."

flat."

Seeing that Gao Qilin didn't know what he was going to give him, Fifth Master simply stated it outright.

"You mean you'd lend me some money to get through this difficult time? That would be incredibly kind of you, Fifth Master, given the current situation..."

Only you are willing to help me.

Before Fifth Master could finish speaking, Gao Qilin began to express his gratitude profusely, because money was more important to him than anything else right now.

want.

"Don't thank me yet. I'm not giving you the money directly. I'll give you a check for 100,000 yuan later. What you need to do is..."

The idea is to invest this 100,000 yuan in the stock market and earn back the money I need.

"Are you kidding?"

Gao Qilin never expected that Fifth Master would say such a thing under these circumstances, which greatly disappointed him.

"Given the current situation, do you think I would joke with you? Alright, I've already sent someone to swim the check over to you."

Please remember to accept it on your end. Good luck!

At this point, Fifth Master didn't want to waste any more words with Gao Qilin, and hung up the phone immediately after saying those words.

"So, what did Fifth Master say?"

Because Gao Qilin (Qianqian Zhao) spoke very softly throughout, Gao Qilan didn't hear their conversation. Therefore, when she saw Gao Qilin...

After hanging up the phone, he looked very expectant and immediately went up to ask about the situation.

"What he said was meaningless. He said he would help me, but all he gave me was a check for 100,000 yuan, telling me to invest it in the stock market and win it back."

"Come on, are you kidding me?"

When Gao Qilan asked him questions, Gao Qilin looked helpless and explained the current situation.

"Giving you a check for 100,000 yuan at this time? That's outrageous! I think even if we asked someone else for it, we'd probably be lucky."

It's more than 100,000 yuan, isn't it? Does Fifth Master even care about you at all?

Chapter 510 Thinking they were short of money

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Gao Qilan could no longer contain her anger and began to complain.

In her mind, Fifth Master was a very tall and imposing figure, but now that image has been shattered.

"That's not how you say it. This matter had nothing to do with them at all. The fact that they were willing to help us is already a great kindness."

"No, it would be unreasonable for us to keep complaining here."
