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

Gao Qilin had only one attitude towards these intelligent people: he would bring them under his command no matter what.

At this moment, Gao Qilin saw that Zhang Mazi had already begun to fight for the rights and interests of the people of Shangguan Village.

He smiled slightly at Zhang Mazi.

"Fifty yuan a day, how about that? That's a pretty good salary!"

Things could have ended perfectly at this point.

Keep in mind that in an era when the average wage was only one or two thousand yuan, a daily wage of fifty yuan was considered a very good deal.

But Zhang Mazi is a man with more cunning schemes than a hornet's nest.

When Zhang Mazi learned that Gao Qilin was paying the villagers fifty yuan a day...

He was initially happy, but then he became suspicious. In his opinion, receiving such a high salary must have come at a considerable cost.

They might be leading the villagers to participate in some illegal or criminal activities!

If that's the case, it's not a good thing. The villagers might really blame everything on themselves.

Zhang Mazi felt he was about to be in deep trouble!

Zhang Mazi was not a fool; on the contrary, he was quite shrewd. Once he realized this, Zhang Mazi smiled slightly at Gao Qilin, who was standing in front of him.

"That's right, it seems this boss is really generous. What you've done is a great benefit to the people of Shangguan Village!"

"However, I know there's no such thing as a free lunch. You're willing to give up so much benefit, so what you're asking us to do must be quite something, right?"

"Boss, if you're asking us to do something illegal or criminal, then we won't do it!"

"That's right, the people of Shangguan Village are short of money, but we will not do anything illegal or criminal!"

Upon hearing this, both the old village chief and Zhong Xiaoai were dumbfounded.

According to the old village chief, Gao Qilin paid for his son's medical treatment.

Afterwards, he asked Gao Qilin what his intentions were toward Shangguan Village, but Gao Qilin just shook his head and said that he had no intentions toward Shangguan Village.

He came here with only one purpose: to make Shangguan Village a wealthy village.

Zhong Xiaoai trusted Gao Qilin's character completely; she knew he wasn't the kind of person who would commit crimes.

If he is that kind of person, then her father would not have agreed to her relationship with Gao Qilin.

Given his father's temperament, such a relationship would likely be nipped in the bud from the very beginning.

But now the villagers of Shangguan Village have said such things to Gao Qilin, which naturally angered the old village chief and Zhong Xiaoai.

But both of them knew that now was the time for the villagers of Shangguan Village to raise objections to Gao Qilin.

Simply put, if Gao Qilin can't get past this hurdle, the people of Shangguan Village won't trust him.

It will be impossible for Gao Qilin to get the villagers of Shangguan Village to leave the village with him in the future.

So, no matter how angry the old village chief and Zhong Xiaoai were, they didn't say anything, but sat quietly to the side watching the villagers.

It was at this moment that Gao Qilin smiled and explained to the villagers in front of him.

"Gentlemen, I only need your help to demolish some buildings. You'll see for yourselves when you go and see for yourselves. I would never lead you to commit any crimes!"

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the villagers of Shangguan Village.

At this moment, Gao Qilin gave the old village chief sitting to the side a wink.

The old village chief had already discussed it with Gao Qilin beforehand; as long as Gao Qilin gave him a meaningful look...

That was when the old village chief had to step in and solve the problem, and naturally, he didn't hesitate at all.

Chapter 278 Deployment

"Fellow villagers, since this boss has already made his thoughts so clear..."

"I think you guys should also make a statement. Anyone who wants to work with this boss should register with me first!"

"Once you've registered, you can't back out! And you have to follow this boss's instructions, understand?"

The old village chief's words carried some weight, and once he said them, the villagers who had been gossiping stopped talking.

They all stood up and came forward, wanting to register with the village chief to earn money.

After all, making money is not an easy thing for the people of Shangguan Village.

If it weren't for those bosses who used to come to the village every day to scam people...

If the villagers of Shangguan Village had lost their enthusiasm for outside investors, they probably wouldn't be so resistant to Gao Qilin's proposal today.

Now, seeing that Gao Qilin accepts all their requests without question, the villagers of Shangguan Village naturally feel at ease.

At the village chief's urging, the villagers all rushed to Gao Qilin to register.

However, what Gao Qilin found very strange was...

The villagers who came to him to register were all men, no women, even though the women of Shangguan Village had their eyes practically shining with excitement.

They just watched longingly, but not a single one of them wanted to come up and sign!

Seeing this, Gao Qilin also felt strange. He didn't understand why these villagers didn't come up and sign the document.

Is it possible that there are still people these days who don't love money and have no interest in it?

Feeling something was amiss, Gao Qilin turned around and asked the old village chief standing beside him.

"Old village chief, it's strange, why aren't any of the women in the village registering?"

"Could it be that only the men in the village want to go out and earn money?"

"Could it be that the women in the village aren't interested in making money?"

After hearing this, the old village chief could only give Gao Qilin a wry smile.

"Oh, how could that be! Look at what you're saying, how could the women in the village not be interested in money!"

"But as you know, no matter what year it is, there are very few things that women can do."

"Besides, if all the women leave the village, what will happen to the boys in the village?"

The old village chief's words were indeed reasonable, and Gao Qilin was no fool.

After hearing this, he immediately discussed it with Zhong Xiaoai, who was sitting next to him.

"Xiao Ai, in my opinion, the task of persuading the women in the village is entrusted to you!"

"You must persuade them to go out and find work, understand?"

Zhong Xiaoai is exceptionally skilled at ideological work; persuading all the women in Shangguan Village to go out and work is not a difficult task for her.

The problem is, what if all these women leave?

So what should be done about the children of Shangguan Village?

The elderly people in Shangguan Village are all quite old. How can we expect them to take care of the children?

Realizing this, Zhong Xiaoai whispered to Gao Qilin.

"Qilin, I have no problem dealing with these women, but what about the children?"

"As you know, the elderly people in Shangguan Village are all getting on in years. Do you really think we can let these old people take care of the children?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin smiled and explained to Zhong Xiaoai.

"Xiao Ai, in my opinion, the problems you're facing right now aren't even problems at all!"

Zhong Xiaoai no longer understands what Gao Qilin is saying to her.

In her view, whether the children of Shangguan Village can receive care is a major problem.

If the problem of these children needing care is not addressed.

Therefore, even if the villagers leave the village, they cannot work with peace of mind.

After realizing this, Zhong Xiaoai advised Dao Kua.

"Qilin, what are you saying? The care of these children is of paramount importance!"

"You can't just advise the villagers of Shangguan Village to leave and abandon their children, can you?"

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoai was getting anxious, Gao Qilin smiled slightly at her.

"Xiao Ai, really, this problem really can't be considered a problem. The reason I say this is not because I'm being insensitive."

"It's because I've already come up with a solution, since the villagers can't leave their children here."

"Why not just let the villagers take all their children out?"

“As long as the villagers can see their children every day after get off work, why would you be afraid they won’t want to work with us!”

Upon hearing this, even Zhong Xiaoai admired Gao Qilin's intellect, considering how complex the issue was.

It was resolved so easily by him. A genius! This Gao Qilin is truly a genius. It seems I really chose the right person this time!

Chapter 279 Doing the Work

"Alright! I'm relieved to hear that. Don't worry, I'll go and talk to the women in Shangguan Village right now!"

Zhong Xiaoai is not a talkative woman, and her execution ability is no less than Gao Qilin's.

However, Zhong Xiaoai's shortcoming is that she is not very down-to-earth in her work, but this cannot be blamed on her.
