The village beauty and me!

The moment Xu Huifang's gaze swept over him, Chen Huan inexplicably felt a pang of tenderness.

The villagers are clearly stepping on Xu Huifang to elevate themselves, which already makes Chen Huan feel somewhat guilty.

In addition, he also noticed that Xu Huifang looked much more haggard than the last time he saw her.

Her skin had darkened, she had lost weight, and fine wrinkles had appeared on her face, with bloodshot eyes.

It's obvious that you've been worried and anxious these past two days, probably because you haven't been eating or resting well.

Although he lacks ability, at least he's not a bad person.

"Chen Huan, you're back." Xu Huifang timidly stepped forward to greet him.

The aloofness and arrogance that used to be in his eyes were gone.

There was just a bit more grievance and helplessness.

Chen Huan agreed, "I've been busy with things outside lately, so I just rushed back as soon as I had some free time."

Chen Huan then remembered that Fatty and Zhao Jingjing had told him before that the village had encountered some trouble.

Judging from this, the situation seems to be even more serious than before.

He asked directly, "Are these guys going to build a mineral water factory?"

"They rented houses from villagers in the village. Is it really possible to do that?"

In Chen Huan's mind, such an operation seemed unreasonable and even more illegal.

If the other party makes even the slightest violation, I can seize on their mistake and kick them out immediately.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huifang sighed, "The land in our village has a somewhat special nature, and they have already obtained the relevant approvals from the relevant departments."

"So...so they do have the right to build a mineral water plant here."

"It's all my fault; I wasn't strict enough in my oversight back then."

"We intended to attract investment, but instead we let a wolf into our house."

At this point, Xu Huifang's eyes reddened, and she almost burst into tears.

The villagers nearby complained even more upon seeing this and were ready to curse.

"Alright, just deal with things as they come."

"Don't rush into infighting. Village Chief Xu didn't do it on purpose. Don't hold a grudge."

"I'll take responsibility for this."

When the villagers saw this, they were surprised to find that Chen Huan had changed his attitude and was no longer as confrontational with Xu Huifang as before.

I was immediately surprised.

But they quickly came to their senses and expressed their agreement.

No one continued to criticize Xu Huifang.

A hint of gratitude flashed in Xu Huifang's eyes.

I hadn't even had a chance to say thank you.

The middle-aged, overweight man who had been intimidated by Chen Huan and was almost scared out of his wits came over again.

He directly confronted Xu Huifang, "Village Chief Xu, is this kid from your village?"

"Do they have absolutely no legal awareness? They assaulted someone and even tried to incite a disturbance, hindering the progress of our project."

"Do you know how serious this crime is? If you report this to the authorities, you'll go to jail!"

"Our patience is quite limited, and we cannot continue to tolerate your troublemaking..."

This guy completely had Xu Huifang under his thumb.

He launched into a long and scathing attack, threatening and berating her relentlessly.

Xu Huifang is now unable to utter a single word and can only anxiously watch.

Chen Huan's eyes widened, and he pointed at the fat man, "You want to build a mineral water factory? No problem."

"However, such a large-scale demolition and dismantling is affecting the village's environment and is not in accordance with regulations."

"So what do you want?" The middle-aged man shrank back in fright, but still gritted his teeth and asked back.

"If you take proper protective measures during construction and don't disrupt the villagers' daily lives, we naturally won't obstruct the construction," Chen Huan calmly replied.

Next, I called Huang Yanyan and asked her to find a professional lawyer to negotiate with the other party.

Chen Huan's move worked immediately.

With the intervention of top professional lawyers from a large company, the middle-aged man was immediately rendered speechless.

Ultimately, they had to abandon today's demolition plan.

But before leaving, he also made a harsh statement: "We'll see how things go from here."

"No matter what, this mineral water plant must be built."

"Even the Heavenly King himself couldn't stop it!"

Amidst the villagers' angry curses, the middle-aged man and his men quickly got into their car and drove away.

The villagers gathered around Chen Huan, celebrating their brief victory.

But Chen Huan knew that all of this was only temporary.

Such an excuse cannot last long.

To truly solve the problem, we must address the root cause.

He was racking his brains when Xu Huifang gently tugged at him from beside him.

"Chen Huan, come sit at my place for a while."

"I want to talk to you," Xu Huifang said in a pleading tone, appearing very sincere.

Since things had come to this point, Chen Huan felt embarrassed to refuse, so he arranged for several young and strong villagers to guard the houses that had been half demolished.

Then he followed Xu Huifang to her residence.

In reality, it was just a small courtyard built behind the village committee office.

It was clean and tidy, and the furnishings inside were simple.

However, as soon as Chen Huan entered the room, his head bumped against a set of uniquely styled and petite close-fitting clothes.

The atmosphere immediately became awkward.

Xu Huifang blushed and quickly put away the clothes, then busied herself pouring water and making tea for Chen Huan.

Chen Huan coughed twice to ease the awkwardness, "Village Chief Xu, don't bother, just say what you need to say."

"I have to go home in a bit."

Xu Huifang handed him a teacup, saying, "I know you know a lot of people and are very capable."

"So I'd like to ask, is there any chance this situation can be turned around?"

"I'm willing to do anything to get the villagers' houses back and stop those guys from building some mineral water factory in the middle of the village."

Chen Huan took a sip of tea and casually joked, "Are you really willing to do anything?"

"So, even some really outrageous things are allowed?"

Xu Huifang's face changed, and then she blushed bright red.

She gave Chen Huan a strange look and stammered, "I know, I've already troubled you many times before, and I don't have the face to accept your help for no reason."

"I don't have anything else to offer right now."

"If you really have those kinds of feelings for me, I... I can agree..."

Chen Huan was stunned.

I was just saying it casually, I never expected Xu Huifang to make such a big decision.

Although I usually dislike this woman, I can tell that Xu Huifang is not the kind of woman who is casual.

Unexpectedly, the other party was actually willing to make such a big sacrifice in order to make up for their previous mistakes and give the villagers a peaceful living environment.

This improved Chen Huan's impression of her considerably, and he even felt a little bit of respect for her.

But now the situation is starting to become awkward again.

It's a real dilemma; agreeing is bad, but not agreeing is even worse.

Seeing that Chen Huan remained silent, Xu Huifang thought that she had not been sincere enough.

Blushing, she leaned forward and asked, "Chen Huan, are you afraid I'm just talking the talk and lying to you?"

"If that's really what you think, I can give you some benefits first."

"But you absolutely must promise that after this is all over, you will do everything in your power to stop those bad guys from building a factory in the village!"

After saying that, she immediately began to remove her clothes.

Chen Huan was completely stunned.
