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

However, just as she finished speaking, the sound of leather shoes came from outside, and the woman's tense expression immediately relaxed upon hearing the sound.

"My man is back. If you have anything to say, talk to him. Don't talk to me. I don't know anything about your poverty alleviation efforts."

Chapter 410 Discovering Them

No sooner had she finished speaking than a familiar figure walked over.

However, the village chief was unaware that there were other people in the house. He entered the house with a nonchalant air and asked questions before even getting close to the yard.

"Honey, what delicious food did you make tonight? It tastes so... wait, why is it burnt?"

"Burned food? It's all your fault for wasting my time, making my food burnt."

Upon hearing this, the woman in front of her seemed to have thought of something, and quickly put down the hoe in her hand, picked up the shovel next to her, and ran into the kitchen.

Upon hearing her words, the village chief immediately realized that there were other people in the house and became solemn.

However, once he realized it was Gao Qilin, he looked quite annoyed.

"What's going on here? Didn't I tell you before not to interfere in our village's affairs? Why are you still coming to me?"

After saying that, the village chief sat cross-legged on a chair to the side, displaying an air of superiority.

This scene infuriated Gao Qi 790 Lan. After all, they had gone to so much trouble to help them, only to be treated like this in the end.

However, Gao Qilan remembered what Gao Qilin had told her before, and although she wanted to retort angrily, she suppressed her anger.

Gao Qilin was most worried about Gao Qilan saying something suddenly, so he kept an eye on his every move.

Seeing that Gao Qilan had no intention of making a move, Gao Qilin felt much relieved and stepped forward to say:

“We are here to explain the situation to you in detail. Everything before was a misunderstanding, and I hope to clear up the misunderstanding through explanation.”

"Misunderstanding? How could it be a misunderstanding? I told her before that if you really want to help us, just show us the money. We definitely won't doubt that you're fake, and we'll treat you well."

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, the village chief sneered and continued:

"But now, not only have you not given us money, you're also trying to take the fruit from us. What kind of misunderstanding is this? Anyone with common sense can see that you're here to scam us, right? The uncles and aunts in the village are illiterate and might be fooled by your few words, but I'm different. I'm highly educated."

"That's right, my partner is the only person in the village who has ever been to school, and he even has a high school diploma. Isn't that amazing?"

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the woman busy in the kitchen began to echo him, and it was clear from her tone that she was very proud of this.

"What? Only a high school diploma?"

However, after hearing what the village chief said, Gao Qilan couldn't help but repeat what she said.

You should know that nowadays, you need at least a bachelor's degree to become a village chief, so his diploma is obviously questionable.

"So what if I only have a high school diploma? I've read a lot of books. And ask the people in the village how well I managed the village during my tenure. A diploma is important for a village chief, but the ability to solve problems is even more important."

Although Gao Qilan didn't say anything, the village chief could sense what she was thinking, and in order to avoid being suspected, he quickly explained.

To convince Gao Qilin and his colleagues of his abilities, he immediately produced a photo of himself as the village chief after saying this, hoping to gain Gao Qilin's approval in this way.

"Alright, I'm not interested in the things you've handled. I only have one purpose in coming here: to help the villagers live a better life. That's my sole reason for being here."

But Gao Qilin didn't even look at the photo in his hand, and directly stated his purpose, because he knew that there was no need to explain to the other party in the current situation.

"I think your hearing should be fine. If I remember correctly, I just told you that if you want the villagers to live a good life, you have to give them money. Once they have the money, they will naturally be able to live the life they want."

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, the village chief immediately retorted, completely disregarding Gao Qilin's words.

Seeing that he had spoken to the other party in that manner, Gao Qilin stopped paying attention to him and said seriously:

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. If I give them money, they will definitely finish the painting after a while. But if I teach them how to make money, they can always have money. That is the purpose of poverty alleviation. Do you understand?"

Because Gao Qilin's words were too profound, it took the village chief a long time to understand their meaning after he finished speaking.

Even though Gao Qilin had said that, he still chose not to believe it, which Gao Qilin found very incomprehensible. Like Gao Qilan, he gradually became annoyed and couldn't help but complain:

"No, I've explained so many reasons to you, why can't you understand?"

At this moment, Gao Qilin wished he could tear the other man's head open right then and there to see what he was thinking.

Chapter 411 Expressing One's Inner Thoughts

Although Gao Qilin appeared helpless, he did not choose to leave. Instead, he stood aside, sorting out his thoughts and trying to figure out how to get the matter moving forward.

The village chief witnessed the whole scene, and now he was starting to lose track of what was real and what was fake. He sighed and said helplessly:

“I understand what you’re saying, but someone else told me the same thing before, and I believed him. As a result, the villagers worked hard for half a year, but in the end, they didn’t even make any money. To make the villagers feel better, I, as the village chief, even put a lot of money into their pockets.”

"No wonder you didn't believe us before, it turns out it was because of this."

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Gao Qilan immediately understood the reason behind them.

Seeing that the village chief also had his own concerns, Gao Qilan became much more docile and patiently said from the side:

"Don't worry, this time we'll pay you first and then take the fruit away. That way you'll feel at ease and won't be cheated. What do you think?"

"Don't try to fool me. Our village is so remote that the roads aren't even properly built. Even if you're willing to help us sell the fruit, how are we going to get it out of the village?"

Gao Qilan understood this without the village chief saying it aloud.

Because the road was very bumpy when they came, if it weren't for the driver they found who could come, she probably would have vomited up all the food she had eaten in the past few days in the car.

However, after hearing what they said, Gao Qilin suddenly thought of something and immediately asked:

“That shouldn’t be the case. If the road wasn’t repaired, how did Zhao Hu’s trucks get in? The fact that he was able to drive them in means there must be good roads around the village.”

“It’s normal for those trucks to be able to drive in. Although our road is not yet finished, it doesn’t mean that our road is not finished. It’s just that this kind of road is not suitable for transporting fruit out of the village. Once the fruit leaves the village, that road will definitely spoil.”

Faced with Gao Qilin's doubts, the village chief began to patiently explain, and every word he said seemed to tell Gao Qilin that none of this was possible.

However, Gao Qilin was somewhat skeptical of what he said and wanted to verify it after hearing the village chief's words.

"Since you want to see this, then come with me. I don't have anything to do right now, so I can show you around."

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, the village chief readily agreed and got up to walk outside.

However, he had only taken a couple of steps when the woman in the kitchen rushed out, blocked his path, and questioned him:

“It’s almost time to eat, where are you going again? Let me tell you, you can’t go anywhere right now. You have to stay home and finish your meal.”

Seeing himself being questioned by his wife in front of Gao Qilin, the village chief immediately covered his face with his hands and hurriedly said:

"I have some important business to take care of. I'll definitely come back after I'm done. You eat first, and don't save any for me this time."

"That's alright. We're not in such a rush over there. Since you've already prepared the food, let's eat first. We can talk about the plans later after we finish eating."

Gao Qilin was a reasonable person. After seeing the scene before him, he immediately came up with a solution and spoke it out directly.

· ·······Request flowers·· ········

"Did you see that? Even a young man like him knows to eat before he starts working. Why don't you know that? Stop standing there and come in to eat. If you keep dragging this out, all the food will be gone soon."

The village chief's wife had initially sensed something was wrong and was preparing to leave so as not to disturb him, but after hearing what Gao Qilin said, she immediately felt that what he said made sense and insisted on doing it again.

Seeing that his wife had said so, and Gao Qilin had no objections, he ultimately had no choice but to compromise and said to Gao Qilin:

....... ......... 0

"Wait there for a moment. I'll come back and take you to see it after I finish eating. Don't worry, it'll be quick. I'll be back in less than half an hour."

After saying that, the village chief hurriedly ran to the kitchen to start eating.

However, before he could even take a couple of bites, he was kicked out, and then a woman's wailing could be heard from inside the room.

"Now that the guests are here, it's one thing for you not to greet them, but you didn't even invite them to dinner. I really don't know what you're thinking."

"What do I care whether they eat or not? They came to me in the first place. I'm already being kind by not kicking them out. Why should I feed them?"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the village chief looked very impatient and hurriedly rushed out of the room.

Seeing Gao Qilin still standing there, he said impatiently:

"Didn't you say you were going to check it out? What are you standing there for? Hurry up, the mountain road will get difficult to navigate if we're any later, and it'll be much harder to get there then." (Worker)

Chapter 412 Is the car ready?

Upon hearing what the other party said, Gao Qilin did not hesitate for long and immediately followed.

The village chief's house is at the end of the village, not far from the orchard, and it didn't take long to get there.

Since it was getting late, there weren't many people in the orchard, so their actions didn't attract any onlookers.

"Is your car ready?"

However, as soon as they arrived at the place, the village chief asked them what kind of vehicle they wanted.

"Car? What car? I don't remember you mentioning needing a car before."

After hearing what the village chief said, Gao Qilan looked confused, since the village chief hadn't initially said that "790" was going to be included.

“You came to check on the condition of the fruit during transportation, right? How are you going to check it if you don’t have a vehicle? Do you expect me to prepare one for you? Let me tell you, I don’t have much money on hand, and I can’t afford a vehicle.”

After hearing what the village chief said, Gao Qilin realized this and quickly asked Gao Qilan to contact a driver.

Fortunately, the place where they got off the bus wasn't far from here, and the driver had been waiting there the whole time.

Upon hearing that he needed to drive the car here, the driver agreed without hesitation.

A short while later, the headlights of a car appeared in front of them and stopped.

"What kind of road is this? Is it even meant for people to walk on? I think the chassis of this car will probably break down if it drives here."

However, as soon as the driver got out of the car, he started complaining about the road conditions. At this point, he didn't know what had happened, so he didn't pay attention to the changes in the expressions of the people around him while he was talking.
