The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment.

They never expected that the road paving project, which had been delayed for so many years, would be brought up again, and that a boss would come to donate money for the road construction. Not only would they not have to donate money, but they would also receive compensation for the land requisitioned by the township government.

The villagers of Maoyuan Township may be meticulous about small things, but they are unambiguous about important matters.

To get rich, build roads first. Even a three-year-old understands this principle, so they naturally understand it too.

Even if it doesn't make them rich, it will make it easier for villagers to get around and benefit future generations.

Their area is poor and remote, with no special products or development value, so the higher authorities wouldn't even give it a second glance. Back then, the money for building the cement road was used to fund the ecological forest, but it wasn't enough, so the villagers donated money to make up the difference, which is how the muddy road was transformed into the cement road it is today.

They didn't know why this CEO chose to invest in the company here, but they wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity.

Many people have met Bashu Lao and know that he is a friend of Lu Yao and Lu Jiming.

These wealthy people like to donate money to build roads and bridges to gain a good reputation.

I heard he really likes this place and wants to live here. He asked Lu Yao to help him find out if anyone wants to sell a house or rent it out long-term. Maybe he donated money to repair the road so that it would be easier for him to get around in the future.

No one considered him a fraudster; since no contract had been signed, they weren't afraid of any fraudulent companies.

Then again, what's so special about this godforsaken place that would make people spend a fortune to scam people?

"My fellow villagers must be wondering why I invested in a company here and why I donated money to repair roads."

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at, I just love the environment here and the people here, and I want to fight for the opportunity to settle down here."

"I hope this wish can come true soon."

Bashu Laodao.

"I also think my hometown is the best."

"Don't worry, no one will make fun of you."

May your wish come true soon.

"Welcome to our Maoyuan Township family."

"Remember to treat us to drinks then."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Definitely, definitely."

Just like the township government at the time, the villagers also had an unexpected surprise of wealth falling from the sky while they were sitting at home.

"Lu Yao, Lu Jiming, Lü Xing, and I will also donate money to improve the surrounding environment of the village, repair irrigation roads, provide free recreational facilities and parking spaces, etc."

"We will compensate you at a high price for any land or trees that are used by everyone, and we will not forcibly occupy even an inch of land."

"This is a good thing that will benefit future generations. I hope that our fellow villagers will give it their strong support and work together to build a better home."

Li Yunbo also stood up and spoke.

"support."

"I may not be capable, but I won't be the kind of person who holds others back. If my family needs anything, I'll donate it without hesitation."

"Me too."

Me too.

"Clap clap clap clap".

Someone started clapping, and then everyone clapped excitedly.

"These projects will give priority to hiring people from our hometown. Everyone is encouraged to sign up. Wages will be settled monthly, and there will be no delays in payment."

After the applause subsided, the township secretary spoke again.

"When will work start? Several of my brothers are unemployed, and I'm asking them to come back and earn money."

"I was having trouble sleeping because I couldn't find a job, and now I can finally get a good night's sleep."

"This is a real lifesaver; it'll help me earn money for my daughter's college tuition."

"I heard your daughter got into a top university?"

"Yes, he went to the same university as Lu Yao."

"My friend's daughter got into Sun Yat-sen University; it's like her ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke."

"What score did you get?"

"With such a high score, you're more than qualified for university in Beijing."

"Kyoto University is nowhere near as good as the National University of Taiwan."

"That's not quite true. If you want to find a job in Beijing or Shanghai, Peking University still has an advantage. Of course, if you want to stay in the province to work, National University of Taiwan has an advantage."

What's Pengcheng University like?

"Can."

"What do you mean, 'can't'? Do you know how prestigious Pengda University is in our South China? Almost all the internet giants graduated from Pengda. Getting into Pengda means you're a Pengcheng resident, and your annual salary starts at a million."

"My son will be out of university soon, so I'm letting him do a summer job to gain experience and teach him what hard-earned money is, so he won't spend money recklessly in the future."

"Nowadays, students don't know what money is. They think it's just a string of numbers and spend it without any pressure. They even think that 2,000 yuan a month for food is not enough."

……

"Please be quiet, everyone."

Seeing that everyone was getting a bit off-topic, the township head quickly stood up to stop them.

Everyone quieted down and looked at the township head and the others.

"There's one more thing. Villagers who sold their lychees to Lu Yao, as long as they are willing to sign a long-term partnership agreement with Lu Yao, should come to the township government tomorrow to sign the contract and receive an advance payment. Next year, we will buy your lychees at a high price."

The township secretary said.

He admired Lu Yao's decision, which allowed the villagers to manage their lychee orchards without any worries. As long as the weather wasn't too bad, next year would definitely be another bumper year for lychees.

This is a win-win situation.

"Is it real or fake?"

"I'll definitely sign."

"Exactly, only a fool wouldn't sign it."

"I didn't check the almanac before I left home. What day is it today?"

Many villagers were overjoyed.

"Secretary, may I sign the contract?"

A villager stood up and asked.

Tell me your reasons.

The township secretary said.

"I was unaware of Lu Yao's lychee purchase because a family member was hospitalized."

"I urgently need money. Even though my family doesn't have many lychees, I will still agree to sell them to Lu Yao."

The villagers explained.

"I can testify that his family member was indeed hospitalized, and he made a special trip back to attend the meeting today after receiving a call."

Some villagers stood up to testify on his behalf.

"I can also testify."

Several more villagers raised their hands.

The village party secretary looked at Lu Yao.

"Of course, we can even buy your lychees if you're willing."

Lu Yaodao.

"Thank you, I will try my best to grow more and better lychees."

The villagers exclaimed excitedly.

"I also want to sign a contract with you."

A villager who refused to sell lychees to Lu Yao stood up, looking embarrassed.

I cannot give you an answer at the moment.

"If someone trusts me, I will naturally choose to sign a contract with them first."

"If the contract I've signed already meets my needs, I won't sign a contract with you; if it doesn't meet my needs, I'll consider whether or not to sign a contract with you."

Lu Yao spoke frankly.

The other person lowered their head in shame, not daring to look at anyone.

We're all adults; we have to pay the price for our choices.

Many people secretly rejoiced that, although they were somewhat reluctant at first, they eventually agreed to sell the lychees to Lu Yao, otherwise they would have missed this great opportunity to make money.

"Lu Yao, President Qing, I've ordered some late-night snacks at Maoyuan Farm. Please don't mind."

After the meeting, the township secretary warmly invited Lu Yao and Bashu Lao and the others.

The township secretary was named Deng Teng, who was only one year older than Lu Yao, at twenty-nine years old.

In the eyes of ordinary people, becoming a township secretary at this age is an incredible stroke of luck, but in the eyes of those with connections, it's considered a very poor achievement.

He was among the young people who volunteered to go to the countryside to revitalize rural areas after graduating from university, starting from the grassroots level.

Young people are full of vigor and ambition, eager to achieve something great and write a glorious chapter in their youth.

However, dreams are beautiful, but reality is harsh.
