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

If it weren't for the old village chief keeping order, these villagers would probably have stood up and started cursing long ago.

They would never joke with Gao Qilan and Zhong Xiaoai so politely.

At this moment, the old village chief, Lao Chu, felt very uncomfortable seeing the villagers mocking Gao Qilan and Zhong Xiaoai.

Although the villagers didn't know, the old village chief did.

Gao Qilin and Zhong Xiaoai really came here to help everyone. If everyone misses this opportunity, they will never get another chance!

The villagers didn't feel heartbroken, but the village chief did!

Chapter 274 Pay and You'll Get It

"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet!"

"Let me tell you, the boss who came this time is different from those unreliable people before!"

"He's genuinely here to help us, so we should all have some faith in them!"

When the old village chief saw that the villagers had started mocking Zhong Xiaoai and Gao Qilin, he knew something was wrong.

The old village chief quickly stood up and waved to the crowd, hoping they would give the two men some face out of respect for him.

However, the villagers of Shangguan Village had long been afraid of being cheated by those unscrupulous merchants, and in their view...

These unscrupulous merchants are all bad people, not one of them.

They were only interested in the few remaining resources of Shangguan Village and their easily fooled labor force.

In the past, when the village chief stepped forward, these villagers would respect him.

But things are different now. The villagers have been scammed so many times that they are already on guard.

Now that the villagers of Shangguan Village have come out to "deceive" them again, they naturally won't give the village chief a friendly look anymore.

Zhang Mazi could be considered a troublemaker among the villagers.

He saw that even at this point, people were still siding with those outside.

This guy was furious, so he stood up and raised his arms to shout!

"Village chief, I have only one question for you: when did you say the same thing when outsiders came?"

"But what was the result? The result was that every single time, it was us ordinary people who suffered and endured hardship?"

"Sigh! Now I understand, these rich people have so many tricks up their sleeves that we ordinary people can't outsmart them!"

"Folks, what do you call this? This is what you call being tricked every day! And every trick is different!"

“If you haven’t been scammed enough by these rich people, and if you (cabj) aren’t afraid of being scammed by them, then go ahead and work with them. I, Zhang Mazi, won’t stop you!”

The moment these words were spoken, the room fell into a deathly silence.

At this moment, all the villagers stared silently at the old village chief.

The silence of the majority is terrifying; such silence is more lethal than swords and spears.

This was the first time the old village chief had ever seen such a scene, and even the experienced village chief found himself unable to control the situation.

However, the fact that the old village chief could no longer control the situation did not mean that Gao Qilin was afraid.

Back when Gao Qilin and Zhong Xiaoai were facing thousands of laid-off workers from Dafeng Garment Factory.

They were all able to remain rational and calm, even though Zhong Xiaoai's performance was indeed somewhat lackluster at that time.

But in the end, she and Gao Qilin managed to hold things together.

Now, Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu are also here, although they are middle-aged.

But they are very good fighters, especially when the two of them team up, six or seven people can't get close to them.

The villagers are not tyrants; they will not kill unless absolutely necessary.

If they dare to make a move, the Tang brothers, Xiaolong and Xiaohu, only need to send a few ringleaders to intimidate them!

Besides, Gao Qilin came here to help the village escape poverty; he didn't come to make enemies of anyone.

The other party had only made a few sarcastic remarks, and Gao Qilin wouldn't resort to extreme measures over such a trivial matter.

Looking at the villagers whose faces were full of dissatisfaction, Gao Qilin simply smiled slightly at them.

"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me for a moment, okay?"

"If you think what I'm about to say is useless to you, you can tell me to shut up anytime!"

Seeing that Gao Qilin was a fairly honest person, the villagers stopped making trouble.

They all pricked up their ears, eager to hear what Gao Qilin had to say.

Seeing that the villagers had finally quieted down, Gao Qilin smiled slightly at them.

"Everyone, the problems you're facing right now can actually be solved with just one method: money!"

"I'm also facing some problems right now, and I need your labor!"

"If you're willing to work for me, how about daily pay?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers, who had been furious just moments before, immediately stopped making a scene!

As the village chief said before, this is why the villagers of Shangguan Village are so resistant to outside investors.

There's only one reason for this: none of these foreign investors have any conscience.

They never intended to solve the villagers' problems; they just wanted to use syringes to draw blood from them!

The villagers of Shangguan Village were so afraid of being scammed that they naturally wouldn't easily believe the swindlers.

But now the villagers have learned that they can find a job with a daily wage.

They were naturally happy to accept it, as this job meant they wouldn't have to work so hard to get their wages like they used to.

Moreover, you can receive money every day.

If they do it, their lives will be changed immediately!

Why wouldn't they take advantage of such a good opportunity?

However, the villagers didn't know whether Gao Qilin was a reliable person or not.

Chapter 275 Major Project

However, this matter still depends on Zhang Mazi.

This street urchin was the laziest and most idle person in Shangguan Village.

But he knew the outside world best, and during the off-season, he was always the first to leave the village to find odd jobs in the surrounding towns.

Everyone in the town knows that the people of Shangguan Village have it tough, as long as they don't slack off at work.

The issue of wages is naturally negotiable, and besides, Zhang Mazi has been doing farm work for many years.

He had plenty of strength, being a hardworking bachelor from the countryside.

Zhang Mazi was never short of work, so when Gao Qilin offered to give the villagers some work to do...

This guy was the first to jump out and disagree. Zhang Mazi sneered at Gao Qilin.

"Oh my, you're such a kind person!"

"However, there are just too many philanthropists coming to our Shangguan Village!"

"But in the end, which of these great philanthropists truly cared about us poor people?"

"Hmph! Every single one of these so-called philanthropists is just trying to squeeze more money out of us!"

"Fellow villagers, we can't be so foolish again!"

"If we get fooled by these people again, we're really finished!"

"From now on, our Shangguan Village can be renamed the Village of Fools!"

Zhang Mazi's words were quite persuasive, and the villagers of Shangguan Village listened to them.

They all agreed with Zhang Mazi's words, and at this moment, the villagers couldn't help but echo Zhang Mazi's words.

"That's right! None of those outside businessmen are reliable. They all think the people of Shangguan Village are fools!"

"Damn it! Every time these people come, have we, the people of Shangguan Village, not treated them to the best food and wine?"

"Do they even consider us human beings? Never. Since these people don't treat us like human beings, why should we believe them?"

After being incited by Zhang Mazi, the pent-up anger in the hearts of the villagers of Shangguan Village was immediately released!

At this moment, every single villager in Shangguan Village wanted nothing more than to rush up and fight Gao Qilin.

If it weren't for the old village chief still being there, and if it weren't for the two brothers, Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, keeping things in order.

It's likely that these angry villagers have already rushed towards Gao Qilin.

Gao Qilin could understand the villagers' predicament. At this moment, Gao Qilin knew that no matter how much he said or explained, it would be useless.

He just sighed.

"Alas! My fellow villagers, I know you have suffered."

"But those things are in the past, and I know that the people of Shangguan Village are looking forward!"

“You would never allow yourselves to be trapped in the past, would you?”
