After hanging up the phone from Mei Changlin, Jiang Xiaofan and Zhao Fugui walked into the Shiwa Town Water Works Office.
Jiang Xiaofan glanced around and found that there was only one staff member in the office of the water station. The man was sitting in front of the computer, holding his mobile phone, and kept swiping his fingers on the screen, saying "Assistant, come and protect me."
"Hello." Jiang Xiaofan walked directly to the staff.
The staff member didn't even raise his head and said casually: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xiaofan said with a smile: "I came to see Director Liu and wanted to apply for the contract of Baimuba Reservoir."
"Contracting the Baimuba Reservoir?"
The staff member raised his head and glanced at Jiang Xiaofan, and couldn't help but smile: "What can't you think of at such a young age that you want to contract that unclean reservoir?"
Jiang Xiaofan was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that even the staff at the water supply office would have such big prejudices against Baimuba Reservoir.
One can imagine how miserable it was for those who contracted the reservoir in the past.
Jiang Xiaofan felt a little happy when he thought that the fish they raised might be in the Black Dragon Pond and the underground river.
As long as we can contract the Baimuba Reservoir, we might be able to make a small fortune.
Jiang Xiaofan suppressed his excitement and said in a calm tone: "I want to give it a try. How do I fill out the application process?"
The staff member sneered: "I've met several stubborn people like you, and in the end, without exception, all the fish they raised were gone. Forget it, good words can't persuade the damn devil. I asked Director Liu to apply for the contract of Baimuba Reservoir.
Nod, I can’t make the decision here.”
Jiang Xiaofan immediately asked: "What about Director Liu?"
The staff member slammed the phone on the table and said in an impatient tone: "I told you that Director Liu is not here, please stop bothering me, okay?"
Jiang Xiaofan smiled and said: "It's okay, we can wait. Could you please ask, when will Director Liu come back?"
The staff member said angrily: "Director Liu went downstairs for inspection. How do I know when he will come back? If you want to wait for you, just go over there and wait. Just don't delay our work."
After saying that, he covered his face with his computer and continued to conquer the Canyon of Kings.
"What should I do, Xiaofan?" Zhao Fugui asked at a loss.
Jiang Xiaofan thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, Uncle Fugui."
Now that the restaurant has no fisheries to supply, the remaining ones can only last three to five days. He must resolve the contracting of the reservoir as soon as possible.
It was almost noon, and the weather outside was like a steamer. Jiang Xiaofan walked directly to the outlet of the air conditioner and suddenly felt a cool breeze.
"It's so cool." Jiang Xiaofan made a comfortable sound.
"Tsk tsk, Xiaofan, you think such a little thing can blow such a cold wind, it's amazing." Zhao Fugui said with a look of enjoyment.
He ran back and forth twice today, and his meat was almost dried out in the sun. Now he can feel the cold and soothing wind, which is more nourishing to him than eating a meal of meat.
Jiang Xiaofan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to buy a few of them in the next two days. Uncle Fugui will give you one as well."
"I don't have money to buy it. I heard from people in Daliang Village that an air conditioner costs a thousand yuan." Zhao Fugui shook his head in pain.
Jiang Xiaofan smiled and said: "Uncle Fugui, it's not that exaggerated. For ordinary families, it only costs more than two thousand yuan."
"You can buy it for more than two thousand? So they are bragging to me."
Zhao Fugui nodded suddenly. He hesitated and said, "Xiaofan, when you buy an air conditioner, help me buy one too. Then when everyone goes to the village committee meeting, it won't be as difficult as sitting in a steamer."
Since Jiang Xiaofan contracted Longtoushan, it was difficult for him to get involved as the village chief, but his family members were all hired by Jiang Xiaofan, and they could earn at least six to seven thousand yuan a month, not including the money earned from collecting mountain products and selling local eggs.
.
"Okay, no problem." Jiang Xiaofan smiled and nodded.
"Hey, Zhao Fugui, you also want to buy an air conditioner. Do you know how much one costs? Are you not going to live your life anymore?" Suddenly a sinister voice sounded from behind.
Jiang Xiaofan looked back and saw a fat man with big ears walking in. He walked straight up to Zhao Fugui and said with a smile: "Don't you know what's going on in your village? This air conditioner is also yours.
Can you enjoy it?”
When Zhao Fugui saw this person, his expression suddenly turned ugly: "Liu Teng, your mouth was opened to Ma's urethra last night, wasn't it? There is a stinky smell in your words."
Liu Teng?
Jiang Xiaofan heard Zhao Fugui mention that Liu Teng was the village chief of Baihe Village. Because he had been rated as a rich village in Shiwa Town for many years, he often mocked Zhao Fugui openly or secretly.
When Liu Teng heard Zhao Fugui's words, he snorted coldly: "If you dare to speak to me like that, you are not going to ask for this year's poverty subsidy, are you?"
"Who are you threatening?" Zhao Fugui became angry when he heard this, and said with a livid face: "I also told you that our Laowan Village will never receive poverty subsidies this year."
Liu Teng said disdainfully: "Your village's per capita income ranks last in Shiwa Town every year, and you won't take it if you say you won't? Do you really think Jiang Xiaofan of your village is the savior? You don't want poverty subsidies, just give them to us in Baihe Village
Save some money and build more mahjong rooms."
Jiang Xiaofan raised his eyebrows. Does the mayor of Baihe Village still know about him?
Just as Zhao Fugui was about to retort, Jiang Xiaofan winked at him and said to Liu Teng: "Village Chief Liu, do you want to make a bet? If the per capita income of our village exceeds your village this year, you will give away the sand dredging rights of Baihe River.
How about giving us a year?"
Only then did Liu Teng notice Jiang Xiaofan. He frowned and said, "Who are you?"
Jiang Xiaofan grinned and said, "You mentioned my name just now, don't you recognize me?"
Liu Teng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Are you Jiang Xiaofan?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xiaofan and saw that he was dressed like a farmer and not as mysterious as Liu Gang said. A look of disdain suddenly appeared on his face.
Liu Teng countered General Yijun and said, "What if the per capita income of your village does not exceed that of our village?"
Jiang Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If our village does not surpass your village, I will give you the contracting rights of Longtoushan for one year. How about it?"
"Xiaofan!" Zhao Fugui's expression changed upon hearing this, and he quickly grabbed Jiang Xiaofan's arm. He knew that Jiang Xiaofan wanted to stand up for him, but it was not worth it in exchange for the contracting rights of Longtoushan.
Moreover, Zhao Fugui honestly does not believe that the per capita income of Laowan Village can exceed that of Baihe Village. He is confident that Shiwa Town will not be ranked last, but he dare not even think about surpassing Baihe Village.
Baihe Village relies on dredging sand from Baihe River, and its per capita income is nearly twice that of Baimiao Village, which is second in the town, not to mention Laowan Village, which is lagging behind every year.
"Uncle Fugui, I know it well."
Jiang Xiaofan patted Zhao Fugui on the arm, turned to challenge Liu Teng and said, "Village Chief Liu, don't tell me that you have no bottom line, just tell me whether you dare to gamble or not?"
