Fishing and Hunting 82, Starting with Three Sisters Who Overprotect Their Brothers

"Didn't you want to buy snake meat?"

Zhang Wenshan glanced at the other party and said in a calm tone, "Write down exactly how much you want, what price you want, what quality you want, and the deadline."

He paused for a moment, then said in a seemingly generous manner, "There's no need to help coordinate the agricultural machinery matters; it wouldn't be good to put the purchasing staff at the agricultural machinery factory in a difficult position."

After saying that, he turned to look at Captain Wang Tieshan, then moved to the crowd outside.

"Having a total figure will make it easier for us to coordinate and discuss, avoiding any trouble and delaying the farm machinery factory's business, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tieshan was the first to respond, nodding and saying, "Shanzi is right. In the past, everyone would fight tooth and nail to collect things. It's good to plan ahead."

"Yes, yes, that way we won't have problems with this or that later."

"Last time you said you wanted soaked mushrooms, and I worked hard from dawn till dusk for most of the day, but in the end you said they weren't up to standard. It was all for nothing."

"Didn't you eat it?"

"It's a waste to eat something that can be sold for money!"

The villagers' complaints rose and fell, clearly having all suffered losses from verbal agreements.

Police!

He's a cop again!

Kong Qingdong clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, so angry he wanted to curse.

The biggest cut for purchasing agents is in negotiating prices and weighing items. Once they get a receipt, what do they earn?

I had planned it all out before I came.

By controlling Zhang Wenshan and forcing him to sell at an extremely low price, we can make a huge profit, vent our anger, complete our mission, and receive praise when we return to the factory.

Who would have thought that even after coming to the village and threatening him with farm machinery, the kid still wouldn't listen.

Kong Qingdong suppressed his anger and winked at the person beside him. There were some things he couldn't say aloud; he needed someone to speak for him.

Wang Changhai was confused and didn't understand what it meant, but Jiang Shouyi understood immediately and said loudly, "This shows they don't trust our agricultural machinery factory's purchasing staff. Brother Kong, let's not put up with this and let's go!"

As he spoke, he pretended to turn around and deliberately slowed down, waiting for the villagers to persuade him to stay and put pressure on Zhang Wenshan.

Sure enough, someone in the crowd immediately chimed in, generously using other people's money.

"No, no, it's just a note, if you don't want to write it, you don't have to! That's how it's always been done."

Some people's gazes lingered on Zhang Wenshan and Kong Qingdong.

Since the construction of Hama Pond started, everyone has been making inquiries in secret and has confirmed that the project is feasible.

The village of Wanxiang, located in the neighboring town, started raising sika deer a couple of years ago. At the end of the year, when the dividends were distributed, some received tens of yuan, while others received hundreds. They were very famous in the surrounding area and were the envy of everyone.

So many girls would fight tooth and nail to marry into the family, and young men would willingly become live-in sons-in-law.

Toads aren't as valuable as sika deer, but at least you can get a share. And if something happens to them, the toad pond will be ruined...

Upon seeing this, Wang Changhai instinctively stopped and turned to look at Kong Qingdong.

Kong Qingdong spread his hands, looking helpless.

How about we let Zhang Wenshan off the hook today?

First, get your hands on the snake meat; then you'll have plenty of ways to deal with it later.

As a purchasing agent at a prestigious agricultural machinery factory, tripping up a country bumpkin is a piece of cake for him.

He gritted his teeth, about to give in and compromise.

Suddenly, voices came from the crowd.

"In all these years, when have we ever heard of purchasing agents having to issue a receipt before receiving goods? If word gets out, people will think that we from Chishong Village are deliberately making things difficult for people and don't know the rules!"

"Buying agents won't dare come to our area to collect goods anymore. How are we going to sell our agricultural products?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a smile appeared on Kong Qingdong's face.

That's more like it!

A group of country folk should fear him, respect him, treat him with good food and wine, and beg him to accept their gifts.

Isn't the power I hold in my hands just for manipulating them?

Before he could even gloat for two seconds, Wang Tieshan suddenly turned around and roared, "Li Yuegang, shut up!"

After saying that, he looked at Kong Qingdong and said firmly, "Comrade purchasing agent, I'm really sorry, catching snakes is too dangerous, it could easily lead to someone's death. We, Chishong Village, cannot complete the task assigned by the agricultural machinery factory."

Now that things have come to this, he's the only one left to step forward and take the fall.

"Ah, this..." Kong Qingdong was completely stunned. He never expected that the captain would speak up for Zhang Wenshan.

Shouldn't you help yourself and force others to complete the task?

After thinking for a moment, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I will report this to my superiors truthfully. How to handle it afterwards is entirely up to the leaders."

It's that same old trick again, threatening people with agricultural machinery!

Wang Tieshan was deeply worried, but he spoke with great conviction: "Comrade Kong, please go ahead."

"snort!"

Kong Qingdong flung his hand away, glared fiercely at Wang Tieshan and Zhang Wenshan, and stormed out, looking like a toad.

"The purchasing agent can't leave!"

Just then, Li Yuegang suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Kong Qingdong's arm, and looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Comrade Kong, please don't be angry. Since this is a task assigned by the organization, there is no reason why we in Chishongtun cannot complete it."

"It's just a few snakes, isn't it?"

"Our family will take the lead; we guarantee the mission will be accomplished."

He then changed the subject and continued, "We are not like some people who make a fortune selling snakes without regard for the collective interest."

As he spoke, he winked, gesturing with his eyes.

Kong Qingdong instantly understood that this old guy was one of his kind.

Or rather, they all want to get Zhang Wenshan.

He immediately put his hands on Li Yuegang's shoulder and said, "You are a truly selfless and good comrade. To be honest, the reason for purchasing snake meat this time is to entertain the inspection team from the south."

It's for the development of our Maoshu Town.

Unfortunately, some people, despite having the ability to catch the snake, hold grudges over trivial personal matters, deliberately opposing the organization and hindering its progress. But that's alright, we have many more good comrades willing to overcome difficulties together.

His words were passionate and inspiring, and many people immediately echoed them.

"So it's for construction support, what else is there to say? It's just a few snakes, let's get it!"

"I've said it before: doing business is no good. People get so greedy for money that they lose their conscience. What a bunch of scoundrels."

"Some good-for-nothings have forgotten their roots! They've forgotten how they survived when their families were struggling. They got lucky and managed to get a few things, so they've become arrogant and even dare to ditch tasks assigned by the organization."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wang Tieshan knew something was going to happen as soon as he heard this, and hurriedly tried to stop it.

"Catching snakes can be fatal, no..."

"Captain, what you're saying isn't right," someone immediately interrupted him. "For the sake of national development and the reputation of our village, we'll risk everything, even danger."

"Now that you've become the brigade leader, how come you've forgotten the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, fatigue, or sacrifice?"

"So what if someone dies? The old man doesn't have many days left to live. You find the snake, I'll go."

"I'll come..."

The surrounding noise grew louder and louder, and many people were so overwhelmed that they volunteered to help, even looking at Zhang Wenshan with disdain and contempt.

It's like watching a black sheep who betrays the masses.
