I was very surprised and asked Director Tang: "Director Tang, are you saying that the old man of the Su family has come to see you?"
"Yes, he came to tell me about developing a resort town, and we talked all afternoon."
This quite surprised me, but I would also like to know what Mr. Su talked about.
I quickly asked again: "Director Tang, did Mr. Su say something?"
Director Tang handed me a cigarette and said calmly: "Speaking of which, Boss Su and I are still classmates. I know what Boss Su is like. He is very optimistic about the resort town you mentioned... He talked to me
I’ve talked a lot about some things after the town is built, including the issue you just mentioned about the elderly care of the villagers.”
I suddenly had mixed feelings in my heart. Mr. Su was so benevolent and righteous. He was still worrying about my affairs the day before he died.
I sighed heavily: "Mr. Su was such a good person, but he just left like this. Speaking of which, I only met him twice."
Director Tang also sighed and said, "Yes! Boss Su is a kind man. He also paid for the construction of the road in our village, including the several fish ponds in the village. It was also Boss Su who paid for the villagers to have a good life."
Just make ends meet."
My expression was a little solemn. Boss Su is such a nice person. It was a waste that I thought he was the same as Su Jin.
I thought that like a son, like a father, I felt a little guilty.
In my silence, Director Tang said to me again: "Actually, if you don't come to me, I plan to make time to meet you and we can have a good chat."
I nodded and said in a deep voice: "Director Tang, it was true that I was not fully prepared last time. I also reflected on it when I went back."
Director Tang smiled and said: "So since you are so well prepared this time, I have no reason not to agree. I also believe in Boss Su's vision and the person he likes will not be bad."
I also smiled and said: "It's just Director Tang, the villagers, the villagers..."
"Don't worry about this, the villagers in our village are easy to talk to. I am responsible for doing the work, so you can quickly implement it."
I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly reached out to hold Director Tang's hand: "Director Tang, thank you so much for your support. Don't worry, what I said will definitely come true in the future. I promise you with my character."
"At first I didn't quite believe you, a foreigner like you, but after Boss Su came and said those words to me, I believed Boss Su and the benefits you told me, and I also believed you really considered it.
Come on, folks."
I nodded heavily: "That's all thanks to Director Tang. I'll implement the project as soon as possible. I'll go to the city to talk to the leaders tomorrow."
Director Tang suddenly asked me: "By the way, the city leaders will come to visit us then, right?"
"Definitely. Does Director Tang have any concerns?"
Director Tang was silent for a while and said with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about. When the leader comes, you can just tell me in advance and I can make arrangements here."
Naturally, I understood what Director Tang meant and nodded to him.
After we continued to chat for a while, he asked me to make a copy of the agreement and leave it with him so that he could talk to the villagers.
After leaving the village office, Tang Ling seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled and said to me, "Brother Chen, I didn't expect us to go so smoothly this time."
"Yes, this is all thanks to Mr. Su, but it's a pity that he left before I could say thank you to him."
Tang Ling also said in a deep voice: "Yes, Boss Su has always been a good person. Everyone in the ancient town knows that."
After Tang Ling finished speaking, she asked me with a hint of worry: "By the way, Brother Chen, will it be a lot of pressure to pay such a large amount of compensation?"
It is indeed quite stressful. My current savings are not even enough to compensate the village for demolition, let alone the subsequent construction work.
So, I had to find someone to help me, and I had to find someone to borrow some money.
I shook my head and said: "It's okay, just take it step by step. It will be difficult to think about anything in the future. Just like this time we talked to the villagers about demolition, did you find it difficult at first?"
"Yes! Think about it, although there are not many people in our village, they have lived here for generations, and even the ancestral graves are here. It is really unthinkable to suddenly demolish the village."
"So! Everything must be done step by step. My mother used to say something to me: there must be a road to reach thousands of miles."
Tang Ling smiled and said: "Brother Chen, I have learned a lot from following you during this time... Now that the demolition work in the village is completed, what can I do next?"
I was silent for a while and said to her: "In this case, you can help me find an office space, preferably in an ancient town. I don't want to go to the county town."
Tang Ling nodded and asked, "How big do you need it to be?"
"It's just a temporary office space, it doesn't need to be big, just three or four rooms will be enough."
Tang Ling and I chatted all the way back to the inn.
As soon as I entered the cafe, I saw a familiar person.
It was none other than Qin Guoxing.
What is he doing here?
There was no one next to him, he was the only one, but besides Boss Tang, he was the only one in the entire cafe.
Today is the weekend, and it is afternoon tea time, so there cannot be no business.
Then it was obvious that Qin Guoxing deliberately drove away the people in the cafe. He did not drink coffee and had a thermos cup in front of him.
Boss Tang sat nervously in front of the coffee bar, not looking at his phone, just sitting stiffly.
Tang Ling also saw it, and she naturally recognized Qin Guoxing. She immediately stopped and her face became a little stiff.
It seems that in their eyes, Qin Guoxing is the Lord of Hell, and wherever he is, it means there is trouble.
Indeed, Qin Guoxing should be coming for me.
I rejected him last time in the pavilion. According to his character, he probably wouldn't just let it go.
There is a saying that goes well: Either you become a friend or you become an enemy.
Qin Guoxing is also smart. He knows how to use it, but after he uses it, who knows?
After being stunned for a moment, I said to Tang Ling: "Go, go in, don't be afraid, he came to see me."
Tang Ling then walked into the cafe and kept her eyes on Qin Guoxing.
When Boss Tang saw me coming back, he seemed to take a deep breath and hurriedly walked towards me.
"Brother Chen, you are finally back. Boss Qin has been waiting for you for a long time."
I nodded, then walked over to Qin Guoxing, and greeted with a smile: "Boss Qin, okay!"
He also nodded to me with a smile and pointed to the chair opposite to indicate for me to sit.
After I sat down, I turned to Boss Tang and said, "Boss Tang, please have two cups of coffee."
Qin Guoxing raised his hand and said: "No, I don't drink coffee, I only drink boiled water."
As he spoke, he picked up the thermos cup in front of him, unscrewed the lid, blew in the hot air, and took a small sip.
I signaled to Boss Tang to go back to the yard first.
Qin Guoxing and I were the only ones left in the cafe. We sat facing each other. I met his powerful eyes and looked at him.
I know that this time he comes to see me may be the last time.
