Chapter 73: Rumors are fiercer than tigers

As soon as Zhou Laosi left, Lu Xiangnan could no longer remain calm.

"What are you thinking, kid? Didn't you hear what Zhou Laosi said? Six hundred thousand, a full six hundred thousand!"

Did I say I wanted the smallest one? Why not the largest one?

Lu Feng secretly laughed in his heart, but on the surface he could only continue to pretend to be serious.

"Dad, do you agree with Zhou Laosi's vision?"

Lu Xiangnan said anxiously, "Recognition is recognition, but whether or not you have the ability to do it is another matter. Do you know how many people are watching this farm owned by Zhou Laosi every year?"

"At least ten! And in order to avoid malicious bidding, the village requires a 10% deposit before bidding. If the winning bidder fails to perform, the entire deposit will be deducted."

"You're not even qualified to bid!"

Seeing how cautious he was, Lu Feng could only smile and comfort him, "It's okay, I'll take care of it. If it doesn't work, I can find a few people to cooperate with me, right?"

"Finding someone to cooperate? How can it be that easy? Who is willing to cooperate with you?" Lu Xiangnan no longer has his usual calmness.

Lin Xingrui, who was still weaving a web, opened her mouth, wanting to find a few words to persuade her son, but she found that Lu Feng was grinning, "Why worry about this? Just tell me, do you want to do it if you have the chance?"

The two looked at each other.

"Ok!"

"shit!"

……

In the countryside, there is no wall that is impenetrable.

The day after Zhou Laosi's visit, the news spread again in the village.

Lu Xiangnan’s son wants to bid for the village collective breeding farm!
If spending 100,000 yuan to solve the problem of the old house has made Lu Feng a hot topic, then this news is undoubtedly a heavy bomb that directly detonated public opinion in the village.

Almost all the people engaged in aquaculture in the village were discussing whether the guy was doing something illegal outside, otherwise where would he get hundreds of thousands of dollars to rent a farm.

Of course, there are also a large number of people who scoff at this: "Fake news, absolutely fake news!"

As for those wealthy people who already had the ability and intention to intervene after Zhou Laosi's withdrawal, many of them spoke out on the spot.

"This little brat doesn't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. It's not his turn!"

However, no matter what the public opinion is, Lu Feng has become the hottest news figure during the Chinese New Year period this year, and many people have secretly set their sights on him.

The people who were most reluctant to hear this news were, of course, Lu Xiangdong's family.

"Is he crazy? Where does the money come from? What can he use to bid?" This time, the one who was the most uneasy was Lu Hui.

Among his peers, he thinks he is countless times better than Lu Feng in terms of education or family background.

But since Lu Feng came back, the whole village has been talking about Lu Feng, who was completely crushed to pieces in seconds.

"Could it be a misunderstanding?" asked the middle-aged woman who was dressed in fancy clothes.

This time, Lu Xiangdong just smiled, looking confident.

"Dad, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" Lu Hui asked.

Lu Xiangdong was calm and composed: "What are you worried about? Do you think too highly of that boy?"

"Dad, what do you mean?" Lu Hui asked hurriedly.

Lu Xiangdong snorted coldly, "Don't you realize how scheming this kid is?"

Apparently, this family still holds a grudge about what happened at the old house.

"This guy is indeed very scheming, but what does this have to do with renting a place?" Lu Hui still didn't understand.

"Actually, this is a very simple matter. If you want to do it, you can do it." Lu Xiangdong looked at his wife and children until they showed anxious expressions, then he said: "The deposit is only 10%, which is yuan. Have you ever thought that the yuan can be refunded?" "Dad means that he is building momentum for himself and doesn't really want to rent a place?" Lu Hui said in surprise, thinking of a possibility.

"My son is smart. He is different after receiving higher education. That kid Lu Feng is just trying to save face for himself. He just needs to find 30,000 yuan, get a bidding spot, and quote an impossibly low price. Anyway, he won't lose anything in the end." Lu Xiangdong analyzed seriously.

"Dad is the one who sees things clearly!" Lu Hui gave a thumbs up.

Lu Xiangdong sneered, "I have eaten more salt than he has eaten rice. How can he hide his little tricks from me?"

The woman who was listening to the father and son's analysis next to her spoke.

"You've said so much, but in the end, didn't he get the fame? It doesn't matter whether he rents it or not, what matters is that he will become famous in the village in the future!"

"That may not be the case!" Lu Xiangdong looked confident of winning.

"Dad, do you have a good idea?" Lu Hui asked.

Lu Xiangdong nodded slightly.

On February 2, the day of the Chinese New Year, there was suddenly another piece of news about Lv Feng in the village. But this time it was negative.

"Have you heard? Lu Xiangnan's son has no intention of bidding this time. He just wants to make people think that he is really rich in this way."

"That's what I said. Don't we know how many ribs his family has? If they had that much money, they would have squeezed their whole family into that small space, and the third floor hasn't even started construction yet!"

"This kid is really good. He can even think of such a method. However, if this news gets out, his hard-earned good reputation will be ruined."

Lu Feng really didn't understand how these rumors spread, and they spread faster than any previous one.

In just half a day, Lu Feng found that his surroundings were flooded with this news.

All I can say is, three people make a tiger.

So both elders were not in a particularly good mood today. On New Year's Eve, when preparing offerings for worship at noon, Lu Xiangnan was still feeling a little worried.

When we arrived at the old house, the offerings had just been placed and the incense and candles had not yet been lit, but there was already a group of people at the door.

Lu Feng looked at the three people coming over and couldn't help but frowned.

If he remembered correctly, these three were well-known figures in the village. Not to mention the two rich men on the left and right, the one in the middle was the village chief who was in charge of all the big and small matters in the village.

"Are you Lu Feng?" The village director is over 70 years old and has a serious hunchback. He is still wearing an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit, but he looks in good spirits.

"Village chief, do you have something to talk to my son about?" Lu Xiangnan hurriedly came forward and handed him a cigarette.

The village chief did not reach out to take it, but continued to stare at Lu Feng. "Have you heard the news about you in the village today?"

Lu Feng nodded and said respectfully: "Village Chief, those are just rumors."

"Are you sure these are all rumors? You know, if it is a malicious bidding, the village will not allow it even if it complies with the regulations. Once this start is made, it will be difficult to stop it in the future!" said the village director seriously.

Lu Feng quickly responded: "Of course I know. I also promise that I am definitely not going to cause trouble, but am bidding sincerely."

"How can you guarantee that?"

When Lu Feng heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he realized that he was being targeted.

I clearly didn't do anything wrong, so how could this happen? Rumors are really more ferocious than tigers!

He took a deep breath. "What do you think would be my guarantee?"

"We have studied this a little bit and we don't ask for anything else. If you want to bid, paying a 30% deposit is not too much, right?"

"Isn't this a bit unfair?" Lu Feng looked at the three of them and argued.

"This is the only way to prove that you have the ability. If you think it's unfair, just give up!" The village director paused and didn't give Lu Feng a chance to continue. He said directly: "Pay the fee on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, make a list on the sixth day, and bid on the eighth day. You still have time to prepare."

"There is one more thing I forgot to tell you. According to the practice in previous years, if you are lucky enough to win the bid, you have to make a donation to Mazu. The minimum amount in previous years is 10,000 yuan."
