The village beauty and me!

Chapter 188 Was the boast premature?

Seeing the wary and suspicious expression on Chen Huan's face.

Li Manjiang quickly added, "I'm being very sincere."

"Let me also introduce you. This gentleman's surname is Xu, and he's Boss Xu."

"He is my business partner."

When the words "business partner" were mentioned, a hint of guilt flashed in Li Manjiang's eyes.

I also took a special look at the middle-aged man surnamed Xu.

Seeing that the other person's expression didn't change, he continued, "He's a big boss, and he does really big business."

"In business, harmony is paramount; they are magnanimous..."

Li Manjiang was still rambling on and on, but Chen Huan didn't hear the key point he wanted to hear.

So he frowned and asked directly, "What are your conditions?"

Li Manjiang paused briefly, then said, "Actually, the only conflict between us is about the forest you contracted."

"And also, is that wild beast in the woods your pet?"

  

Upon hearing this, Chen Huan immediately understood that it was all for the sake of the forest.

To be precise, it was for the valuable rosewood in the forest.

As for the ferocious beast in the woods that Li Manjiang just mentioned, that was naturally Lao Bai.

Li Manjiang's business partner was naturally a timber seller.

Everything has now been completely sorted out.

They suddenly rushed over, first trying to establish their authority, then feigning peace talks when that failed. Naturally, this was because Old White was guarding the woods, and they couldn't get a single piece of wood.

Without timber, you can't make money; you can only look at the entire forest with longing and sigh, which is naturally disheartening.

After figuring this out, Chen Huan revealed a meaningful smile.

"Chen Huan, stop laughing. They've already put it this way, hurry up and say something."

"Even if you don't respect me as the village chief, you can't just turn down your own money, can you?"

"Don't be stubborn at a time like this. You've saved face and vented your anger. It's about time to start making money properly. What do you think?" Zhao Siming shamelessly continued to nag and persuade him.

Chen Huan glanced at him disdainfully, then turned to Li Manjiang and the old man, Mr. Xu, and coldly replied, "You were the ones who provoked me first. I haven't even had my fill of fun yet. You think you can just have peaceful negotiations like that?"

"I will not give up the forest I have contracted to anyone; I don't want to say that again."

"As for what happened in your contracted area, or what wild animals like lynxes were there, I have absolutely no idea."

Chen Huan would definitely not give up the forest. As for the rosewood in their forest, it was of no concern to Chen Huan whatsoever.

But after all that had happened, Chen Huan was utterly disgusted with these guys.

So on the surface it seems like a mutually beneficial proposal, but actually I have nothing to worry about right now. On the contrary, these guys will probably suffer a lot if they can't get the rosewood from the forest.

After careful consideration, Chen Huan adopted a very tough stance, showing no intention of giving anyone any face.

"Chen Huan, don't take yourself too seriously."

"You're just a fish farmer from the countryside."

"I've heard about it. The reason you've become so rich lately is because of the section of the river you contracted. The fish there are growing really well. You should be thrilled if you can earn hundreds of thousands a month."

"If you really continue to fight us head-on, I guarantee your fish farm won't make a single penny."

"If you don't let us cut down trees in the forest, you can forget about digging up a single tree and getting a penny for it."

"In the end, won't you be the one who suffers the loss?" Li Manjiang trembled with anger.

His words still contained a great deal of threat and smugness.

Chen Huan remained calm. "Then let's just wait and see."

"I've never been one to value money or such things; all I care about is feeling happy."

"Do you have anything else to say now?"

"If not, then I won't keep you company."

After saying that, Chen Huan made a gesture to leave without the slightest hesitation.

Li Manjiang immediately became anxious and shouted, "Why are you doing this?"

"How much money do you have, all your possessions and assets combined?"

"Boss Xu can casually buy a car for a million or two. He can afford to compete with you, but can you?"

Chen Huan frowned, just about to respond.

Just then, a loudspeaker blared outside.

"Who's honking their horn at this hour?"

"Does he really think there's no law in this village?" Zhao Siming, who had been holding back his frustration for a long time, finally had the chance to shout it out and vent his anger.

Zhao Dahe, who was waiting outside, rushed back in a hurry, exclaiming, "Holy crap, holy crap!"

Enraged, Zhao Siming slapped him across the face. "Who are you talking to? Who are you talking to? You're getting more and more rude!"

Zhao Dahe covered his face, looking very aggrieved, and said with a very surprised expression, "A really luxurious car has arrived outside."

"I think I saw it in a luxury car magazine; it was the kind that cost tens of millions."

"I've forgotten what its exact name is."

"Really? You coward, you know about world-famous cars?" Li Manjiang scoffed from the side.

Everyone knows that this area is both poor and remote.

If it weren't for government policy support in recent years, we probably wouldn't even be able to build a cement road.

The cars that can be found here are worth at most one or two million.

Where would you find luxury cars worth tens of millions to come here?

Zhao Dahe retorted, "If I'm lying, am I your father?"

Li Manjiang was so angry that he wanted to come over and beat him up.

At this moment, Mr. Xu said, "He doesn't seem to be lying."

"Maybe it's one of my business friends coming to visit."

"I mentioned today's itinerary to someone before, why don't we go out and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Li Manjiang immediately nodded and bowed, "Boss Xu is right. You have a wide circle of friends, so perhaps he really is here to visit."

"Today we are also fortunate enough to see what a luxury car worth tens of millions looks like."

The group then ignored Chen Huan and the fat man and walked out happily, saying they were going to welcome a real tycoon.

As Li Manjiang passed by Chen Huan, he gave him a very provocative glare.

"Chen Huan, you're going to embarrass yourself this time."

"These guys are really rich and powerful, you can't compare to them, but let's not get worked up." Zhao Jingjing originally wanted to make a sarcastic remark.

But in the end, she couldn't help but comfort him gently.

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "So what if you're rich?"

"I'll be richer than them someday."

As we were talking, I suddenly heard a notification sound from my phone's chat app.

Upon opening it, I found a message.

【Abundant Good Fortune】"I've arrived. Are you in the courtyard?"

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow and grinned, "It seems someone is really going to embarrass themselves today, but unfortunately, it's not me."
