“I, I…”
Xue Ya was a little flustered by everyone’s reproachful gazes. Her face turned red and she bit her lower lip, feeling jealous and angry at Qin Xi.
She felt that Qin Xi was overestimating herself. Did she not know who she was?
How dare she claim to be a friend of Xia Zhenguo’s.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that if Qin Xi was really a useless village girl, she wouldn’t be able to take out 680,000 yuan.
Han Dazhu had a bad impression of Xue Ya.
He was bad-tempered and protective of his family. Whenever someone badmouthed his family, he would put on a long face. “Why should my girl lie to you? What’s the point of lying to you? Besides, you’re just a secretary, not the mayor. What right do you have to interfere in our business?”
Xue Ya was caught off guard by this series of questions. She didn’t know what to say.
Qin Xi gave him a look that said, “You’re awesome.”
“Miss Xue, don’t mind him. My grandfather is a straightforward person. Don’t take it to heart.”
Qin Xi said with a smile, which made Xue Ya more angry.
What did she mean by him being a straightforward person? These two were clearly mocking her!
However, in front of the mayor, she couldn’t behave too rashly. She forced a stiff smile on her face but deep down, she wished she could go up and tear Qin Xi apart. “I’m sorry, it was my fault for being rude.”
Qin Xi nodded. “It’s fine. Just think twice before you say anything in the future.”
Liu Shuan quickly tried to smooth things over and explained with a smile, “Xi does know that philanthropist named Xia Zhenguo. Just now, Xia Zhenguo’s daughter was here with Xi. Didn’t you see a black vehicle when you came?”
After being reminded by Liu Shuan, Sun Song immediately recalled seeing a Mercedes-Benz at the entrance of the village. At that time, he was wondering why there was such a good car in such a poor place. Now that he thought about it, it made sense if it was CEO Xia’s daughter’s car.
Recalling what Qin Xi said about her also cooperating with CEO Xia, Sun Song immediately became excited.
“Alright, I’ll go to the city tomorrow to get the paperwork done. Don’t worry, Miss Qin, I’ll definitely do my best to do it.” This was a good thing for the country and the people. It would also help his political career, so he would naturally fight for it.
Qin Xi said with a smile, “Thank you, Mayor!”
Contracting the land required a lot of paperwork. First, one had to inform the village chief, then the town mayor, then the city mayor and so on.
Overall, if the process was smooth, it would take at least ten days.
Therefore, during this period, Cheng Haizhong brought Qin Xi and Han Shi to the plantation that was about to be sold.
The plantation was so enormous that one could not see the end of it.
It was the beginning of August, and there were already fruits hanging on the trees. On the sunny afternoon, the fruits looked lush and translucent. Especially the ripe fruits, they emitted an alluring fragrance that made people drool.
The boss here was called Wei Zhi, a man in his thirties. He was thin and looked haggard. He seemed to be sick as his footsteps were very unsteady.
However, when he saw them, he smiled very brightly.
Qin Xi could tell at a glance from afar that the boss was plagued by a serious stomach disease.
She asked calmly, “Boss Wei, can you tell me how many kinds of fruit trees there are on the plantation?”
They strolled through the plantation as they talked.
“There are a total of 27 kinds, including the most common ones: apples, pears, peaches, persimmons, oranges, cherries, bayberries, green plums, oranges, melons, lychees, figs, pomegranates, sun peaches, kiwis, grapefruits, sugar oranges, dates, peaches, hawthorns, grapes, as well as longan, honeydew, cherries, peaches, and a few expensive avocados from the north.”
