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

At this moment, Gao Qilin did not rush to express his opinion to the village chief; he simply offered his own suggestions.

"Village chief, I'd like you to accompany me to see the situation of each household in the village."

"I need to have a detailed understanding of their situation!"

The village chief seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time. After hearing it, he smiled and nodded at Gao Qilin.

... .. 0

"Young man, I greatly admire your determination!"

"I think that with young people like you in our village, this industry will definitely be able to develop well!"

The village chief smiled at Gao Qilin as he spoke, and Gao Qilin smiled back at the village chief.

Shangguan Village is a small village with only 186 villagers and 37 households.

The investigation is very simple; if we act quickly, we can understand the situation of the whole village in just two or three days.

When Gao Qilin and the old village chief wanted to return to the village to learn about the villagers' situation.

Suddenly, a familiar figure ran over from a distance.

That was none other than Gao Qilin's lover, Zhong Xiaoai, who was running towards Gao Qilin.

She rushed to Gao Qilin and hugged him tightly in her arms.

Then, Zhong Xiaoai said to Gao Qilin through tears.

"Qilin! You bastard, you actually abandoned me and ran off to Shangguan Village!"

"You bastard! Why didn't you even discuss this with me before coming over?!"

Chapter 261 Two Hearts United

"Qilin, I'm warning you! If you dare to leave without saying goodbye again, I will definitely not let you off!"

"I swear, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai didn't care what the old village chief would think of her, and she just let her spoiled princess temper run wild!

Gao Qilin's chest was being punched repeatedly by Zhong Xiaoai's fists.

Despite Zhong Xiaoai's unrestrained venting of her temper, Gao Qilin did not feel wronged at all.

At this moment, Gao Qilin felt as if he had fallen in love with this feeling. In his opinion, being punched by the woman he loved was a kind of happiness.

The old village chief, standing to the side, saw this and his face was also full of smiles.

In the past, Gao Qilin believed that people often said that hitting someone is a sign of affection and scolding someone is a sign of love, and if all else fails, he would kick them!

At that time, Gao Qilin often scoffed at this statement, believing it was just a phrase used by young people to flaunt their individuality.

But now that this has happened to him, Gao Qilin feels that he is truly the happiest person in the world!

Realizing this, Gao Qilin reached out and hugged Zhong Xiaoai.

Then, Gao Qilin leaned close to Zhong Xiaoai's ear and whispered something to her.

"Xiao Ai, my little darling, don't worry, I will never let you suffer any injustice!"

"Besides, the reason I didn't tell you about this was to give you a surprise!"

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai felt a warm glow in her heart.

She knew that Gao Qilin genuinely liked her; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this remote and impoverished place just because of something she said.

If it were any other young master, he probably would have wanted to run away after staying in this place for a while.

Gao Qilin, on the other hand, stayed in Shangguan Village for more than ten days.

Let alone ordinary young masters, even young people born in rural areas probably wouldn't be able to do that.

That's because Shangguan Village is really too poor; the villagers here only have a few household appliances.

Their household appliances are just flashlights or digital watches; apart from that, everything the villagers of Shangguan Village use is very primitive.

The water they drank had a muddy taste; people in the city wouldn't drink it, let alone drink it.

I'm afraid that if they could smell it, they would all be unable to resist gagging.

Under such conditions, Gao Qilin stayed for more than ten days.

If it weren't for Zhong Xiaoai, he definitely wouldn't have been able to go to such lengths.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiaoai felt both heartache and resentment towards Gao Qilin!

What pained her was that Gao Qilin would make her suffer so much for her sake.

What she resented was that Gao Qilin had gone through so much trouble without inviting her along. Did he no longer have her in his heart as his lover?

Gao Qilin was deeply moved to see that Zhong Xiaoai's eyes were full of him.

But at this moment, Gao Qilin's mindset had changed.

In the past, Gao Qilin came to Shangguan Village to help Zhong Xiaoai realize her dreams.

Before arriving in Shangguan Village, it was merely a conceptual existence for Gao Qilin.

However, when Gao Qilin actually arrived at this place...

He then realized just how impoverished the villagers were; they lived a very primitive life...

Nowadays, every household in Jinghai City has access to electricity and uses household appliances.

The villagers of Shangguan Village seemed to be living in ancient times, and their lives were extremely difficult.

Gao Qilin felt that the lives of these villagers could not be considered happy at all.

Perhaps they were just a little more comfortable than the slaves of ancient times.

Thinking of this, Gao Qilin whispered to Zhong Xiaoai beside him.

"Xiao Ai, I think I'm just here in Shangguan Village to experience the lives of the villagers for a few days."

"In my opinion, this is not a hard life at all. If I am considered to have a hard life just because I have experienced the lives of the villagers in Shangguan Village, then what do the villagers who live here every day think?"

Zhong Xiaoai hadn't thought of this, but after hearing Gao Qilin's words, she lowered her head shyly.

Zhong Xiaoai lowered her head shyly, but the village chief spoke up.

"My dear lady, your husband is no ordinary man!"

　1.9 “In the past, many officials came to help our village get out of poverty and become rich, but they loved our village and couldn’t get used to it after staying for a few days.”

"But this young comrade is different. He stayed in our village for more than ten days without feeling tired!"

"It's truly commendable that he was able to do this! I think with this young comrade's help, our village will definitely become different from before!"

When the old village chief said this, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai's face was filled with pride!

Chapter 262 Investigation Status

"Of course! This is my partner, and he, like me, wants to do something practical for people seeking marriage!"

After listening to the old village chief's words, Zhong Xiaoai smiled and explained to him.

It was at this moment that Zhong Xiaoai proposed to investigate the situation of Shangguan Village together with the old village chief Gao Qilan.

Zhong Xiaoai had been following her father around the streets and alleys to conduct investigations since she was a child.

At that time, she was a little girl who was not even a meter tall, but her father thought so.

It's better for your daughter to interact with people from all walks of life from a young age, rather than always staying by your side.

Then she will never hear the truth again, when her daughter grows up.

She'll be surrounded by all sorts of scheming people around her, and at that point, she'll never hear the truth again.

But she is still young and doesn't yet have the ability to think independently, let alone be so rebellious.

Zhong Xiaoai's father took his beloved daughter with him, and this experience instilled in Zhong Xiaoai the habit of investigating various situations from a very young age.

Now that she's in Shangguan Village, she's naturally adept at investigating the villagers' affairs.

There are many questions, and the villagers don't know how to bring them up.

Zhong Xiaoai also knew how to help these villagers organize their thoughts and write down their questions.

The old village chief originally thought he knew the situation in Shangguan Village very well.

But compared to Zhong Xiaoai, he was nothing.

Because when those villagers raised their questions, Zhong Xiaoai could understand what they wanted to express.

However, Zhong Xiaoai was still able to figure out the issues that the villagers didn't want to raise, which shows that Zhong Xiaoai is extraordinary!

The reason is that most of the things the villagers didn't want to talk about were actually personal grudges.

In big cities, people are indifferent to one another.

This person may be your colleague today, but they might switch jobs tomorrow.

Therefore, in big cities, whether it's in an office or a residential area, people don't see each other very often on a daily basis.

If you want to act according to the system, it's very simple, as long as you can guarantee two words—fairness.
