Chapter 499 Nan Batian

Winston Chao already knew that Su De had a fight with someone else.

As for the reason, my roommate Wang Xuan said that he was caught by the security guard of Xiangda University while looking for a prostitute outside.

It was a cold winter morning, and the leaves were covered with frost.

Zhao Wenxuan had just gotten up and washed up in the bathroom when Wang Xuan and Yu Xiaoyu walked into the dormitory. Wang Xuan put the rice noodles she packed for Zhao Wenxuan on the table and told her about Su De's incident.

Li Yusheng, who was sitting on the bed, opened his eyes wide.

Zhao Wenxuan was silent, and Wang Xuan said that the matter had been widely publicized in the school. After a pause, she still hesitated and said: "We met Jin Shengze when we were having breakfast. Jin Shengze said that he was worried about Su De's background."

Winston Chao smiled and said nothing.

She left the dormitory with her textbook.

The rice noodles on the table had become cold and clumpy.

Winston Chao has known Su De for nearly two months.

That day, she was buying Leslie Cheung's tapes at a student supplies store near Hunan University. When she was about to check out, she saw a black foreigner speaking unskilled Mandarin to the cashier. Seeing the cashier's embarrassed look, she knew that the cashier couldn't understand what the black man said, so she took the initiative to step forward and act as an interpreter.

This black guy is Su De.

After solving the problem, Sude invited her to have coffee to express his gratitude.

Winston Zhao had never dealt with foreigners and refused directly at that time. However, what she didn't expect was that a week later, when she came to the store again to buy tapes, she met Su De again. Later, the cashier told her that Su De had come to the store every day to wait for her since she left the store last week.

In the coffee shop, Sude told Zhao Wenxuan that he was a prince of the Hohoe tribe in Ghana, and that his Chinese was not good enough, so he wanted her to teach him more. He could help Zhao Wenxuan further improve his English.

Whether it was because Sude had the title of a tribal prince and his good conditions attracted the girl, or because both parties really needed each other, from then on, the two of them basically studied and communicated together every day.

After spending some time together, just like all the clichéd love stories in this world, Winston Chao gradually felt that Su De had many good qualities, and was a warm, interesting and romantic person.

She began to feel differently about Soode.

The girl's heart that was eager to move was gradually lost.

At that time, Winston Chao had been rejected by Jin Shengze, and her emotions and life were at their lowest point. However, Su De helped her gradually get rid of Jin Shengze's shadow.

The best way to quit a relationship is to start another one. There is nothing wrong with this. But when a new relationship has just begun, the sweet days are like a peach that has just been bitten, and Zhao Wenxuan is looking forward to a bright future, he suddenly faces a huge crisis of trust. What kind of pain is that?
Winston Chao doesn’t know.

That morning, Zhao Wenxuan did not go to find Su De, but Su De found her in the library. Su De said with certainty that it was his roommate who was looking for a woman outside and it had nothing to do with him, but he did participate in the fight and was dragged away.

Zhao Wenxuan didn't know whether she should believe Su De or not. Because she said she didn't believe it, and she didn't even want to say a word to Su De, but deep down, she had already unconsciously chosen to accept such words.

Maybe she didn't want to be hurt.

Relationships are always like this. We don't want to be hurt, so the understanding we achieve through mutual hurt is much greater than when we love each other.

Su De tried his best to comfort Zhao Wenxuan for more than an hour, even swearing and swearing. Seeing that Zhao Wenxuan's attitude was gradually becoming less resolute, he said in broken Mandarin: "Can you accompany me to the train station?"

"Why go to the train station?"

"I'm going to your capital."

"What are you doing there?"

"Go find our country's ambassador."

Zhang Yunqi received Ji Ling and Zhao Yihan.

Xiao Wu was driving, Zhang Yunqi was sitting in the passenger seat, and the two girls and Yang Jin were in the back. Zhang Yunqi turned around and asked Ji Ling: "Three women are in a play, what do you want to sing today?"

Ji Ling said slowly: "Sister Yang is no longer like a woman after being bullied by you."

Yang Jin smiled awkwardly. However, Zhang Yunqi didn't like what she said: "If she doesn't look like a woman, what does she look like?"

Ji Ling said: "A heroine!"

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "That makes sense. But the question is, what do I look like when you bully me?"

Ji Ling said, "I need to think about it."

Zhang Yunqi said, "Don't even think about it. I will still let you bully me anyway."

Ji Ling's eyes curved with laughter.

The convoy passed through the streets of Yuelu where frost had frozen yellow leaves.

We drove into Wangcheng from Yinshan Road, amidst the laughter and Zhang Yunqi's nap, and then drove north for less than twenty minutes to be out of the city. The sky in the distant suburbs was blue and cloudless, with wisps of smoke floating in the air, full of the scent of worldly life.

Half an hour later, the convoy passed Qiaokou Town and finally stopped in the Tuantou Lake area of ​​Sansha Village.

Zhang Yunqi and his party got off the car. It was the time when all the grass was withered and all the trees were bleak.

On the banks of Tuantou Lake, clusters of fresh green emerge from the foggy fields. They are winter rapeseed, growing in the cold and defying the frost. Under the field ditches, the river flows slowly. In the vast and quiet fields, the silhouettes and calls of wintering rails by the lake form a freehand ink painting.

Zhao Yihan exhaled and said it was beautiful.

Ji Ling carried his drawing board and took her to the lake to sketch.

Wang Jingshan and Zhang Yunfeng, who came together, got out of another car.

As early as half a year ago, Wang Jingshan was transferred from Huafeng Agriculture to the headquarters of Liansheng Group by Li Jilin. He is currently serving as senior technical director of the group's newly established agricultural research center.

Wang Jingshan is the chief technical and operational manager of the lotus shrimp project in Qiaoku Town. He had already learned about Qiao Zhiwu's land acquisition from the land transfer operators stationed in Qiaoku Town.

This is obviously aimed at Liansheng Group!
It is popular to trade in land these days, and it is not uncommon to buy low and sell high. But this is the root of Liansheng Group's lotus shrimp base. Last time, Liansheng Group was forced to withdraw its investment due to the high land price in Qiaojia Village. This time, the group's top management will definitely not agree to buy Qiao Zhiwu's land at a high price.

Wang Jingshan was extremely anxious because this was the first large-scale project he was responsible for, with an estimated investment of 30 million yuan, and he had always wanted to take this opportunity to make a big career. But if things continued like this, the project would really fail.

As early as three days ago, after he learned about this incident, he wrote a report overnight and called the group president Li Jilin, emphasizing the seriousness of the matter. He waited anxiously for three days and finally attracted the attention of the group's big boss Zhang Yunqi.

Standing by the lake, Wang Jingshan had no intention of appreciating the winter scenery. Seeing Zhang Yunqi standing with his hands behind his back without saying anything, he adjusted his glasses and said, "Chairman, we chose this place for the lotus shrimp breeding base. There are actually two main reasons. First, Qiaokou Town is mainly a plain with a flat terrain that is very suitable for agriculture. Your high-standard farmland concept can be implemented here with very low costs and great returns. Second, Qiaokou Town has a well-developed water system and plenty of river and lake beaches."

Zhang Yunfeng asked: "Is there no other place to do it in Lijin?"

Wang Jingshan explained: "In fact, many places can do it, but what we want to build now is a super-large-scale modern agricultural base, which requires comprehensive consideration from many aspects such as cost, benefit, mechanization rate, and natural conditions. We have done research for a long time. For such a large lotus shrimp breeding base, there is no other choice in the whole Lijin except Qiaokou Town."

Wang Jingshan added: "Let's just talk about the water source. Tuantou Lake is located in the west of Qiaokou Town. It is the largest natural lake in Lijin City, and the river here belongs to the Xiangjiang River system. After exploration four months ago, we found that the tributary of the water system from Yuquan Mountain to Pizhou is 4.3 kilometers long, and the Lannihu Pihong River from Mazhuan'ao to Qiaokou Flood Control Gate is 12.8 kilometers long. Qiaokou Town has 33717 acres of arable land. Of course, more than half of the arable land far away from the river and lake cannot be used. The acres of paddy fields and ponds we planned need to be built around the Xiangjiang River tributaries and Tuantou Lake."

Zhang Yunqi nodded.

Wang Jingshan thought Zhang Yunqi didn't understand what he meant, so he couldn't help but remind him: "If the paddy fields and ponds in the section from Yuquan Mountain to Pizhou and from Mazhuan'ao to Qiaokou Flood Control Gate are harvested in advance by someone with ulterior motives, it would be like someone digging out the heart of a cabbage. Without the heart of the cabbage, from the perspective of input cost and output benefit, we can't build this project!"

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "I understand."

At this time, an old man carrying a hoe walked over from the ridge of the field by the river, attracting Zhang Yunqi's attention.

The old man was thin, with sparse hair that had been frost-stained. The skin on his face was rough and dark like camphor bark, full of traces of years of labor. He had a pipe dangling from his cracked lips. He probably came to Matsuda to prepare for sowing seedlings next year.

When he came closer, Zhang Yunqi called out, "Old man."

The old man paused and looked at Zhang Yunqi in surprise. Then his cloudy eyes swept over the seven or eight security guards in suits and three cars around him, and then he turned back to Zhang Yunqi and asked, "Call me?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and took out a Zhonghua cigarette and handed it to the old man: "Yes, I want to chat with you. Are you a villager of Sansha Village?"

The old man saw that the young man in front of him looked rich but friendly. He put down the hoe on his shoulder and took the cigarette from Zhang Yunqi: "You are from here, what do you want?"

Xiao Wu took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for the old man. Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "I'm in agriculture. I've been looking for a suitable project recently. I heard that a large company from another place wants to build a lotus shrimp breeding base in your area. I came here today to investigate. Why does this project seem to have not started yet?"

Hearing this, the old man snorted, waved his hand and said, "It's too late, don't investigate anymore, you should just go back home."

Zhang Yunqi's expression showed a hint of surprise: "How could such a big project fail?"

The old man took two puffs of his cigarette, then sat on the edge of the field with his hoe and said, "There is a southern tyrant in Qiaojia Village, named Qiao Zhiwu. The group led by him is usually very rampant in several nearby villages. Relying on their connections in the district and the city, they have done a lot of things to occupy mountains and land. Some time ago, they drove up the land price and forced Liansheng Group to withdraw its investment. Hey! What a good project! It is said that the big boss wants to invest tens of millions. If it succeeds, won't our nearby villages be very prosperous? But it failed! It failed and still not at peace. Recently, Qiao Zhiwu is making trouble again, buying up land all over the world."

Zhang Yunqi also sat on the ridge of the field, handed the old man another Zhonghua cigarette, and asked with a smile: "How much did you collect?"

The old man said, "He has harvested more than a thousand acres of land in several nearby villages, and he only picks cabbages. Who can't see his conspiracy? But the villagers are happy to sell their land to him. Do you know why?"

"What?"

"We are all fools! Qiao Zhiwu bought the land just to sell it to Liansheng Group at a high price, but how could the boss of Liansheng Group not see the real reason? This is a joke, such a big boss. But if he can see it, he will definitely not buy it. So since Liansheng won't buy it, everyone will naturally be willing to add some money to sell it to Qiao Zhiwu, and the rent for 20 years will be paid off in one go, which is a huge income! Anyway, if he can't sell it later, it will all be in his hands."

Zhang Yunqi was a little surprised: "What if Liansheng Group really comes back to take back the land? You have to know that if the land payment for 20 years is paid off in one go, the difference in the total price of the land sold to Liansheng Group and to Qiao Zhiwu could easily be several million."

The old man waved his hand and said confidently, "Liansheng Group has been driven away by the people of Qiaojia Village. Good horses never turn back to eat grass, so how could they come back to ask for Qiao Zhiwu's expensive land? We have plenty of land in China, so we can get it anywhere."

Zhang Yunqi smiled.

He has always believed that farmers have a wisdom that is deeply rooted in the earth. However, the villagers in Qiaokou Town now seem to have fallen into blind and short-sighted self-confidence under this simple and profound wisdom.

Zhang Yunqi had to consider that Qiao Zhiwu's move of cutting off the source of the trouble would most likely lead to the wrath of heaven and people if not handled properly. But who would be the one to be retaliated against?
Zhang Yunqi was just thinking when three small bridge cars came from the distance. Leading the way was a black Audi, which finally stopped on the muddy road beside the ridge of the field.

The car door opened, and Qiao Zhiwu, who had not been seen for a long time, dragged his lame leg out of the car. His expression was still somewhat smug, and he called out from a distance: "Mr. Zhang."

When the old man saw Qiao Zhiwu, his expression was full of contempt. Then his eyes fell on Zhang Yunqi. Suddenly, he spat on the ground, picked up his hoe and left.

Zhang Yunqi called out, "Old man."

The old man stopped and looked back at Zhang Yunqi.

Zhang Yunqi stood up and said, "I am Zhang Yunqi, the boss of Liansheng Group. If your land has not been sold, then don't sell it. I will make this project a success. Definitely."
