The village beauty and me!

Seeing Chen Huan's imposing manner, the villagers were very excited.

However, after a brief moment of embarrassment, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses had already recovered.

He frowned slightly and said, "As expected of the ringleader of the troublemakers, you do have some eloquence."

"But no matter how eloquently you embellish your story, black and white cannot be reversed, can they?"

"These wolves, I don't know what method you used, to make them lose their original loyalty."

"Now, everyone can clearly see that you ordered these wolves to attack my men."

"To commit such a heinous act in broad daylight, and in front of city leaders no less, are you truly unafraid of the law?"

This guy is deliberately bringing up city leaders again, trying to scare people.

In fact, it did have an effect.

This is what left Chen Huan feeling helpless and speechless.

With officials around, one cannot be too forceful and should know when to stop.

However, this does not mean that Chen Huan will back down.

He retorted directly, "You brought your dog here in the middle of the night last night, disturbing the peaceful life of our village."

"How can I possibly turn these well-trained dogs into my tools in just a few hours?"

"It's the same old question: do you have any evidence for what you just said?"

"Without evidence, that's just nonsense."

"The city leaders should be able to distinguish right from wrong, they shouldn't believe such stupid things."

"Or rather, the city leaders will follow your orders, and whatever you say goes?"

"If that's the case, then I really don't have much to say."

"Since you've already made up your minds, then whatever you want to do next—whether you demolish houses or build factories and cause widespread suffering—it's up to you."

"What can we do?"

A seemingly negative response is tantamount to putting the other party in a difficult position.

After saying this, Chen Huan couldn't help but admire himself a little.

My speaking skills have really improved recently.

The official next to the gold-rimmed glasses frowned slightly.

He spoke directly, "This villager, I've noticed that your thoughts and remarks are somewhat extreme."

"I am here today to help everyone and to try my best to reconcile the problems and conflicts between Lotus Village and these investors."

"We will do our best to give everyone a satisfactory answer and result."

"We can talk things over calmly, don't get agitated."

Chen Huan took the opportunity to soften his tone, "The leaders here really know how to speak and understand things."

"It looks like we've finally found our leader this time."

Regardless of the other party's true intentions, first elevate them to a certain level.

This can also be considered a strategy.

Sure enough, the official immediately showed an expression of agreement, repeatedly saying that Chen Huan was right.

Then, frowning, he turned to the man with the gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Boss Jin, you should watch your tone when you speak and act."

"Let's not dwell on what happened before, since you were also wrong in your actions."

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses immediately looked alarmed and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had no objection.

However, he immediately added, "Boss, I was indeed a bit too hasty in my actions before."

"But the main problem is that the villagers of Lotus Village took the money and signed the contract, but they are unwilling to follow the rules."

"Our group has put in a lot of effort and money to set up this mineral water company."

"If the project is delayed, every minute that is wasted is a waste of money, which is very unfair to us."

Watching this guy use his silver tongue, rambling on and on, without stopping.

Chen Huan guessed that the leader would probably start speaking up for him next.

So he simply interrupted, "Boss Jin, right?"

"Actually, what you just said wasn't entirely accurate."

"Let's set aside for now how you used despicable and dirty tricks to deceive innocent villagers into signing unfair contracts and forcibly seize their properties."

"Let's talk about your so-called mineral water plant project."

Boss Jin pushed up his glasses, snorted coldly, and demanded, "You know about projects too?"

Chen Huan nodded immediately, "Of course I understand, at least I understand that this is a money-losing project for you."

"We villagers have been drinking the water drawn from underground for so many years. We know better than anyone whether it has any longevity-promoting effects or contains any beneficial components."

"The reason we're stopping you from starting work is actually for your own good."

"After all, large-scale construction and renovation projects burn through money every minute."

"In the end, the fires have disrupted everyone's lives, and you've wasted your money. Isn't that a lose-lose situation?"

Boss Jin gritted his teeth, "If you're not cultured, don't misuse idioms."

"How is it harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself?"

"What I'm saying is, what makes you think the water resources underground in Lotus Village have no value?"

"Do you even know what scientific exploration and detection are?"

"If we hadn't conducted prior research and drawn accurate conclusions, how could we have gone to such lengths to invite city leaders to come and supervise?"

Chen Huan curled his lip, "You guys are really cunning. You sneak into other people's villages to test the water quality without anyone noticing."

"Is this how the Kim Group has always operated?"

Before Boss Jin could retort, Chen Huan added, "Regarding whether groundwater is worth exploiting, we each have our own opinions, and arguing like this won't lead to anything."

"Why don't we take advantage of the city leaders being here and verify it on the spot to see if you've made a mistake or if I'm just talking nonsense?"

Across from him, Boss Jin pushed up his glasses and stared at Chen Huan with a slightly puzzled look.

It seems they wanted to analyze Chen Huan's true intentions and tactics.

Then he gave a disdainful smile and said, "Young man, I admire your courage and boldness."

"But there are many things in this world that cannot be solved by recklessness alone."

"Didn't we already make it very clear to you? The water quality has been tested before, and it is tested every once in a while. Our conclusion is that the groundwater here does indeed have extremely high exploitation value."

"Once the mineral water plant is successfully built, it will definitely bring great economic benefits to the local area and our Dongjiang City."

"This is an enormous benefit."

"As for the minor losses suffered by the villagers, we can conduct a scientific assessment and provide compensation where appropriate."

Chen Huan immediately raised her hand to interrupt him, "Test him right now."

"I know your professional team is here."

"The results should be announced on the spot, and whoever's statement is accurate will have the right to speak."

"What do you think?"

Boss Jin blinked, looking puzzled for two seconds.

He then sneered again, "Trying to bluff me with that empty city ruse?"

"You probably really don't know who you're dealing with."
