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

However, Gao Qilin immediately refused as soon as the other party finished speaking, and then closed the box.

“This money is what you’ve worked so hard to earn these past few days. I can’t accept it. Besides, I don’t need this money at all. Giving it to me would just be icing on the cake; it would be completely useless.”

After saying this, Gao Qilin prepared to leave, not wanting to linger there any longer, because he knew that if he stayed there, the villagers would definitely try every means to get him to take over.

"Who said you don't need that money? We've learned about your situation recently. Your group is facing serious financial problems, and you're really worried about money lately. Why won't you accept our offer?"

"Yes, the help you gave us is a help, so why can't what we give you be? Please take this money. We'll feel bad if you don't accept it."

"Do you think that's too heavy to carry? No problem, we'll send someone to help you carry it."

After saying that, the burly man who had just carried the box over came up again and carried it step by step to Gao Qilin's car, waiting for him to open the car door.

Are you going to put something in there?

Since the driver was unaware of the situation, when he saw people carrying things to put in the car, he assumed they were local specialties from the villagers and opened the trunk without thinking, letting them put them in.

"Stop! Don't let them put it in, make them take it out!"

Upon seeing the driver's actions, Gao Qilin shouted and ran all the way to the location. Only after confirming that nothing was missing from the box did he feel relieved and take the car off.

After the village chief and the others had mostly arrived, Gao Qilin adopted a very serious expression and said to them:

“We appreciate your kindness, but we absolutely cannot accept this money. If we take it, it wouldn’t be called poverty alleviation, it would be called robbing the poor. We don’t want to put you in a difficult position, and we hope you won’t put us in a difficult position either.”

"Yes, we're so nice to you simply because we want you to make money, not because we want to make money off you. So please don't misunderstand, take that thing back quickly. If you continue like this, we might not help you anymore, and you'll have to figure out what to do next."

Upon hearing that they wouldn't be coming back, the villagers panicked instantly. After hesitating for a moment, they put the box away and looked very troubled.

"Since you don't want it, we won't force you to accept it. But since you don't want the money, we should at least treat you to a meal, right? I happen to have a friend who would like to meet you."

“Your friend wants to see us? Let’s forget about that. You should know our current situation. We simply don’t have the capacity to help another village. If he is indeed having difficulties, let him wait a while. It’s not too late to help them after we’ve weathered this period.”

At this moment, Gao Qilin thought that another village had learned of their capabilities and wanted them to solve poverty alleviation problems, so he immediately refused.

"I'm not here for you to help me with poverty alleviation, don't worry about that. My friend just wanted to meet you and treat you to a barbecue."

"If you want to see me, just bring him here. There's no need to treat us to food. You might as well save this money to buy yourself something nice to eat."

Gao Qilin couldn't understand why the other party insisted on inviting him to dinner, so he immediately explained his situation.

"This……"

Seeing Gao Qilin say that, the village chief looked very troubled. After all, he had made a promise to him before, and if Gao Qilin did not go, it would be breaking his word.

Faced with this situation, Gao Qilin could not say anything more and could only listen to the village chief and meet with the other party.

Seeing that Gao Qilin had agreed, the village chief immediately sent someone to contact the other party, and soon a person came over with a barbecue grill.

Upon seeing Gao Qilin, he immediately put down his tools and greeted him.

"Let's skip the polite words and start grilling quickly. We still have some things to take care of over there, so we can't stay there for too long."

Seeing this, Gao Qilan looked very impatient, after all, they had been forced to stay.

After hearing what Gao Qilan said, the other party didn't dare to say anything more and immediately took action.

He was very skilled at grilling meat, and in no time he had grilled all the meat in his hands and handed it to Gao Qilin and the others to taste.

"The meat is cooked. Try my cooking and see what you think."

"You know what, your grilling skills are really good. The meat is grilled to a perfect crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor is just right. I haven't had anything this delicious in a long time."

Chapter 531 Deciding to Take Them In

After taking a bite, Gao Qilin couldn't help but start praising it; he hadn't eaten such barbecue in a long time.

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's praise, the other party immediately widened their eyes and asked again for confirmation:

"Do you really think this barbecue is delicious? I want a heartfelt answer from you, not some perfunctory response."

"Of course I think this barbecue is delicious. I'm not the kind of person who likes to say things against my conscience."

"Since you think my barbecue is delicious, do you think I could set up a stall at your tourist spot?"

As they spoke, the other person looked very expectant, waiting for Gao Qilin's reply.

"So that's why you were in such a hurry to treat me to barbecue. Turns out you wanted me to set up a stall there. I can agree to that, but I need to tell you about my situation there."

“My tourism project has just started and is not yet fully completed, so the number of visitors is not very high. If you set up a stall there, you probably won’t make much money.”

“Even if I don’t make any money, it’s still much better than setting up a stall on the roadside. Besides, we’re all from the village and we don’t have much money. Nobody buys my barbecue, so I can only pin my hopes on you.”

At this moment, he sensed that Gao Qilin was about to refuse, so he immediately spoke in a pleading tone.

After saying that, she looked straight at Gao Qilin, trying to move him with her sincerity.

"This……"

Faced with the other party's request, Gao Qilin appeared to be in a difficult position. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but rather that his own situation was so dire that he couldn't care less about others.

Seeing that Gao Qilin remained silent for a long time, the village chief, sensing something was wrong, immediately stepped forward and said:

“His name is Zheng Jian. He’s the smartest and most capable man in our village. Sending him to your place won’t cause any problems. If he affects your business, just tell me when you get back, and the people in our village will definitely deal with him.”

"Yes, if he does something wrong, we'll clean it up for you. You won't need to lift a finger. So give him a chance. He's the first person in our village who wants to go out and do business. We can't let his hopes be nipped in the bud, can we?"

After the villager finished speaking, the surrounding villagers echoed his words, their faces showing anticipation as they awaited Gao Qilin's reply.

Seeing their reaction, Gao Qilin hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Since you all say so, then I'll take him to give it a try. But I'm just providing you with the venue; whether it works out or not depends entirely on your abilities, understand?"

"Don't worry, I will never let you down. If I find that I can't continue, I will leave on my own without you even having to tell me."

Seeing that Gao Qilin agreed, Zheng Jian was as happy as a child. After saying that, he immediately packed his things and followed behind Gao Qilin.

Seeing that the other party was fully equipped, Gao Qilin couldn't help but tease:

"It seems you were prepared to come with us all along."

"Of course, I can't keep you waiting there while I pack my things, can I?"

Seeing this, Gao Qilin didn't say anything more. He turned to look at the villagers behind him and asked:

"Is everything alright on your end? If not, then I'll be leaving now. Just contact me if you need anything."

· ·······Request flowers·· ········

Without saying anything more to persuade him to stay, Gao Qilin led Zheng Jian toward the tourist destination.

Because they had been delayed in the village, it was already late when they arrived, and everyone else began preparing dinner.

Upon seeing Gao Qilin return at this time, someone couldn't help but tease him:

"Choosing to come back at this time, you probably didn't come back just to freeload a meal, did you?"

"That's a bit unfair of you. I brought back a barbecue chef for you so you could improve your meals. How can you say I'm here to freeload?"

......... 0 0

Gao Qilin looked displeased after hearing them say that about him.

"What? You brought a barbecue chef? Where is he?"

At this moment, those people looked very excited and began to search around. After searching for a while, they finally locked their attention on Zheng Jian.

Zheng Jian grew up in the village, so his clothing style and appearance were completely out of touch with the outside world, so no one believed that he was a barbecue vendor.

But Gao Qilin only brought him back alone. There was no way to disbelieve him, and faced with this situation, one of them said in a questioning tone:

"The barbecue chef you're talking about, is he the one next to you?"

"It seems your observation skills are better. Yes, it's that guy next to me. Don't let his plain appearance fool you; he's an amazing barbecue expert. I just tried some, and his grilled food is just as good as what you'd get in a five-star hotel. If we let him set up a stall here, he'd definitely make a lot of money."

Chapter 532 Asking Villagers for Help

Gao Qilin rarely praises people, so after hearing him say that, everyone present looked on with great anticipation and urged Zheng Jian to demonstrate his abilities on the spot.

"Everyone is giving you a chance to shine, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and show your skills! Once you conquer their taste buds, you can successfully establish yourself here."

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Zheng Jian did not hesitate for a moment and immediately did as he was told.

But after he had set up all the equipment, he realized he had no materials with him, and he looked very troubled as he said to Gao Qilin:

"When I left, '900' didn't bring anything to grill. Should I go out and buy some now?"

"It's already this late, if you want to buy it, we have it ready-made here. If you don't mind, just take the fish we just prepared and grill it."

Those present didn't want to wait that long, and when they heard he was going out to buy it, someone immediately objected.

After saying that, he took out the fish that he had just prepared.

Upon seeing the barbecue ingredients, Zheng Jian didn't dare to be negligent at all. He placed them directly on the grill, and soon an enticing aroma filled the air.

"This smells amazing! It's so much better than what we make ourselves. It's clear that the professionals are different."

Upon smelling the aroma, the people nearby couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, displaying an expectant look as they imagined themselves eating it.

After a short while, the fish was all cooked, and Zheng Jian took them out for everyone to taste.

Their reaction after eating was the same as Gao Qilin's at the beginning—all of them gave it high praise.

"No wonder you agreed to come here for a barbecue; he's such a good barbecue chef!"

“I think our business would be several times better than before if he were here.”

Seeing the price's recognition, Zheng Jian finally felt relieved. However, he was not good at socializing and could only keep saying thank you when others praised him.
