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

Gao Qilan quickly understood his intention and immediately did as Gao Qilin said.

Seeing that neither of them intended to stay, the village chief deliberately feigned anger and said to them:

"Are you guys really that disrespectful to me? If we start like this, how can we cooperate in the future? How can I trouble you again?"

"This……"

Upon hearing what the village chief said, the eloquent Gao Qilin was at a loss for words and appeared bewildered.

"Stop with all this and that, it's just a meal, let's go."

Seeing this, Gao Qilin couldn't refuse. After exchanging glances with Gao Qilan, he followed the village chief to his house.

Along the way, the village chief seemed like a different person, talking a lot and constantly introducing Gao Qilin to the situation of their village and the benefits of those fruits, as if he were trying to sell them to Gao Qilin.

"I know all of this without you having to tell me. I researched it before I came."

Chapter 416 Stopped

Upon hearing what they said, Gao Qilan immediately realized that they might not know that they were there to repair the road, so she decided to go over and explain it to them in person.

"If that's the case, then you can wait there for a moment, and I'll go over and explain to them."

After saying that, Gao Qilan hurriedly hung up the phone and contacted the driver to head towards the village.

"Did something happen to you? Why were you in such a hurry?"

Seeing that Gao Qilan was about to leave, Gao Qilin immediately asked her what was going on, fearing that she might make another mistake while handling things.

"Yesterday I contacted a construction team to repair the road for the villagers, but the villagers didn't recognize them and stopped the construction team. I'm going over there now to explain the situation."

"Oh, I see. Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now, so I'll go with you."

After learning about Gao Qilan's situation, Gao Qilin decided to go with her.

"Don't get agitated. This is the road repairman I found for you. Didn't I tell you before that I would try to get you a road? Now that I've found the man, why are you turning him away?"

Upon seeing the village chief, Gao Qilin immediately began to explain, outlining the purpose of those people's visit.

"What? They're here to fix the road? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, the village chief's expression immediately froze. He had reported this matter to his superiors for a long time, but they had always been indifferent. He never expected that Gao Qilin would resolve this issue.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would lie to you? If you're worried, you can watch them work from the side. If you notice anything amiss, you can stop them immediately. What do you think?"

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, the village chief felt much more at ease and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, his attitude changed drastically. His face was full of apology, and he held Gao Qilin's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he spoke:

"I'm really sorry about what happened before. I was just too scared to trust you because I was fooled before."

"I understand all of this. You don't need to explain it to me. Isn't everything fine now?"

Gao Qilin knew that the other party hadn't done it on purpose, so he didn't pay much attention to it after seeing so many of them.

"Alright, since they've already set up people on the other side of the road, there shouldn't be anything else for me to do here. Let's head back first, and we can discuss further cooperation once the road is sorted out. What do you think?"

"Now that you're here, it wouldn't be right to leave without having a meal. Don't worry, I have someone preparing food for you, so you'll have something to eat when you get back."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, he immediately took out his phone and contacted his family.

"Someone is coming to visit today, so hurry up and do something good so we won't have nothing to eat when we arrive."

"What? What's going on today? Why did someone suddenly come?"

Upon hearing that guests had arrived, the village chief's wife appeared bewildered, as she had not made any prior preparations.

"Don't ask so many questions. We would have started preparing long ago. We're going back soon, so remember to hurry up on your end."

When his wife asked him questions, the village chief seemed very impatient and hung up the phone after complaining.

Although they were speaking very softly, Gao Qilin could still hear the conversation inside.

Gao Qilin wasn't the type of person who liked to trouble others, so he looked quite embarrassed when he saw that they had specially prepared a meal for him.

"If there's nothing to prepare, then there's no need to prepare anything. We're going back soon anyway, and besides, even if we do eat, we probably won't eat much."

After saying that, Gao Qilin looked at Gao Qilan beside him, wanting her to say a few words on his behalf.

Chapter 417 Revealing Retirement Plans

Seeing that the other party was going on and on about those things, Gao Qilin showed a very impatient expression.

The village chief was a reasonable man. Seeing this, he immediately realized that the man was not interested in the matter, so he did not continue the conversation.

However, after arriving at his home, the village chief still warmly welcomed him and offered Gao Qilin his treasured wine.

"You're something else, bringing out such good wine for me to drink. Aren't you afraid of wasting it?"

Upon seeing the other party bring out such fine wine, Gao Qilin couldn't help but sigh in admiration, knowing how rare such wine was.

"There's no waste in entertaining your distinguished guests. Besides you, I can't think of anyone else who deserves to drink this wine, so please don't refuse."

At this moment, the village chief appeared very magnanimous. After saying this, he went to find something to hold the wine and prepared to open the bottle.

But just as he was about to do so, Gao Qilin stopped him.

"Forget about that. Since I haven't met anyone suitable to drink with yet, I'll just drink by myself. To be honest, neither she nor I are good drinkers."

After saying that, Gao Qilin looked at Gao Qilan beside him, wanting her to continue.

Gao Qilan immediately understood his meaning and, seeing this, quickly said:

"That's right, we don't usually drink alcohol. We're both allergic to alcohol, and it would make us feel very uncomfortable if we drank it."

Seeing that they were allergic to alcohol, the village chief decided not to urge them to drink anymore.

But at this moment, he didn't know what to say, which immediately led to a stalemate.

Just then, Gao Qilin remembered the promise he had made to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu is the biggest financial backer of this matter, and Gao Qilin certainly won't let him down. Thinking of this, he said earnestly:

“I suddenly remembered that I have a poverty alleviation project that I can share with you. I just don’t know if you’d be interested.”

"You have a new Fuping plan? How come I didn't know about it before?"

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, Gao Qilan looked confused and began to question him.

"That was something I thought of a long time ago, so naturally I didn't tell you."

"Just tell us what projects you have. As long as our small village can handle them, we're willing to do them."

Upon hearing that it was a project that had never been mentioned before, the village instantly became interested and couldn't wait for Gao Qilin to tell them right now.

"Actually, it's nothing much, just a senior care project. When I came to the village before, I observed that most of the people in our village are elderly, so I think it's very necessary to start a senior care project here."

“Well… the elderly in our village are used to living on their own. If we suddenly provide them with some elderly care facilities, I’m afraid they won’t be able to adapt for a while.”

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, the village chief didn't seem very optimistic.

After all, he knew exactly what kind of life the elderly people in his village usually led.

"But do you think they will grow old alone? I think they probably also long to be taken care of, but they just don't want to say it out loud."

Seeing that this approach was ineffective, Gao Qilin tried a different method of asking.

This question truly stumped the village chief, because he knew that most of the elderly people in the village were widowed or living alone.

In this situation, it would be a good option if someone could take care of them.

"So how do you arrange this retirement system? Can you explain it in detail? If I think it's reasonable, I'll also set one up in the village."

"It's actually very simple. I'll set up a nursing home in the village and provide some facilities for these elderly people to live in. Of course, the nursing home will take care of the elderly people's daily needs, so it can't be free. We'll charge a reasonable fee, but don't worry, the fee will be within their acceptable range."

"Oh, I see. That's wonderful. Now these elderly people will have someone to take care of them."

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, the village chief couldn't help but clap and cheer, wishing he could give up his position to Gao Qilin.

"You are truly the savior of our village. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't be able to enjoy such benefits."

"Look at what you're saying. Actually, this is all I should do. It's about responding to the national call on February 2.8th. If that's the case, I should thank you. If it weren't for your active cooperation, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do what you did."

After Gao Qilin said that, the village chief looked embarrassed and kept eating with his head down, without saying anything more.

"Alright, we've almost finished eating. We still have some things to take care of over there, so we can't stay too long. But don't worry, we'll come back in a few days to check on the progress here."
