192: Chapter 191: Impure 192: Chapter 191: Impure “Hey, Old Li, what’s all this yelling for? Spring brings geese returning, and Teacher Luo said keep the pitch low. Listen to your scratchy voice, sounds like a crow!” “And you, Mao’er, why don’t you just get your mom to buy you a red veil and get married? What are you doing here, looking like a paper doll, singing like a woman? It’s creepy!” “Enough’s enough! You really think you’re something, huh? Do you still believe you’re Teacher Luo? I’ve let you off for half the day, and you’re still acting up?” “...” Once the quarrel started, the thick local accent became even more apparent. Clearly, no one here found each other agreeable. The welcoming song intended for Hu Qingdie was sung as “Who else?” before she even arrived. “What are you singing?! Stop, stop, stop! You all... okay! Each and every one of you, huh? What was said during practice? Now that she’s here, you’re causing a ruckus? Fine! You’re all so talented! I’ll dock your pay next month! I’m not the village chief!” Qin Yue yelled at the villagers, hands on her hips. The villagers of Wanbao Village immediately fell silent. When they’d originally ganged up on Liu Hun, they’d driven him mad. But now, under the tough watch of Qin Yue, they behaved obediently. “Wow! What’s going on here? Is it a duo performance gathering too many people, or is it your village’s unique form of artistic expression?” Huang Zishan snickered as she walked over to tease Liu Hun. Hu Qingdie, however, smiled gracefully, pulling Huang Zishan aside and said, “Zishan, everyone means well.” Huang Zishan stuck her tongue out playfully at Liu Hun and retreated to Hu Qingdie’s side. Liu Hun quickly instructed Qin Yue to disperse the crowd gathered at the village entrance. If they circled around Hu Qingdie and babbled away with something wrong, it’d spell big trouble. “Mr. Guan, I’ve heard of Wanbao Village’s fame for a long time. Conquering the tea competition, triumphing in the agricultural fair ‘Battle Heroes,’ and there’s no rival. You are astonishing; may our collaboration continue to shine brilliantly,” Hu Qingdie slightly smiled, shaking hands with Liu Hun. Before coming, she’d done an in-depth investigation on Wanbao Village and Liu Hun, and the results left her deeply shocked; even her impression of this man evolved significantly. Liu Hun smiled sheepishly; he knew all too well what the Hu Group could mean for him. To soar like a bird, you need the wind, and without it, it’s just hot air. The Hu Group was that wind! Before Hu Qingdie finished her praise, the man beside her extended three orchid fingers and in a mocking tone said, “Oh dear! Chairman Hu, don’t believe everything you hear. I look at this little mountain village and... tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s really not a good place for investment! I’m putting it out there now: if I find even a tiny thing harmful to the group’s interest, I will report to the board and surely block this collaboration!” Where did this monster come from? Liu Hun looked at this... let’s call it a man for now. His face was even smoother than a fresh graduate like Huang Zishan, with fingers that appeared to blossom into orchids no matter where they rested, emitting waves of fragrance. “Mr. Guan, allow me to introduce you to the board’s appointed evaluation representative for this investment, Xu Mu, also a director of the Hu Group,” Hu Qingdie introduced, purposefully emphasizing the man’s position. The mischievous Huang Zishan sneaked behind Liu Hun and whispered, “Don’t judge a book by its cover; despite his appearance, he’s a heavyweight in the board. Chairman Hu asked me to tell you, you must convince him today if you want the cooperation to proceed. Also... he likes men with a masculine scent... pfft!” Upon hearing this, Liu Hun immediately felt his backside clench, surprised that Hu Qingdie had arranged such a challenge for him. Nonetheless, problems or not, the cooperation still had to continue, and boarding the Hu Group was essential. “Director Xu, I’m Liu Hun!” Liu Hun stated, extending his hand politely to Xu Mu. Xu Mu raised his head, gave Liu Hun a once-over, pulled out a handkerchief to drape over his hand, then shook hands with Liu Hun, saying, “Well, you look decent enough to shake hands with. Oh! By the way, don’t get it wrong; I won’t carry this sentiment into work. I still firmly believe this shabby village isn’t worth the investment.” “Orchid fingers and a cleanliness obsession, are you using tactics for women or for men?” Huang Zishan snickered behind Liu Hun, eager to see how he would handle Xu Mu. Once Hu Qingdie and the group entered Wanbao Village, they were astonished. Hu Qingdie never imagined Liu Hun could plan an entire village so scientifically and reasonably, with every inch of land generating value. If this village’s blueprint were a graduation project, it would surely leave the instructor speechless. The pristine surroundings of Wanbao Village, starting from the encircling mountains down to every economic zone, from the smallest mushrooms to the tallest fruit trees, each space was utilized for profit without idleness! “Chairman Hu, what do you think?” Liu Hun asked Hu Qingdie with a smile. “Wow! It’s... unbelievable! Did you, this guy, do all this? Who would’ve thought, apart from excelling in fights, you’re also adept at planning and money-making?” Huang Zishan couldn’t help but interject. Having studied agriculture, she found the sight in front of her worthy of admiration, feeling that Liu Hun was full of surprises, capable of unexpected feats at any moment. “Zishan, be more polite to Mr. Guan,” Hu Qingdie reminded Huang Zishan, as she hailed from an esteemed family, naturally adhering to etiquette and not as free-spirited and straightforward as Huang Zishan. “Oh!” Huang Zishan responded, shrinking back behind Hu Qingdie and making a face at Liu Hun. Hu Qingdie turned to Xu Mu and asked, “Director Xu, you’ve also witnessed the scene. Our country is an agricultural powerhouse, and as land reforms deepen, I firmly believe this land will unleash unimaginable energy in the future. Wanbao Village serves as the perfect template. Together with Wanbao Village, we can refine and innovate this agricultural model and extend it nationwide.” Xu Mu took out a portable spray bottle, misted a trail of cloying perfume, and told Hu Qingdie, “Chairman, looking around Wanbao Village, although it seems well-managed, it’s all basic agriculture, offering no allure! You tell me, what can be grown here that can’t be grown elsewhere? Why choose here?” Wow, Liu Hun hadn’t anticipated this sissy’s scathing remark would cut straight to the bone. “Mr. Guan, do you have any comments on Director Xu’s views?” Hu Qingdie smiled at Liu Hun, wishing to collaborate and hoping Liu Hun would show the competence and ideas she admired. Huang Zishan tilted her head, scratching as she thought, unable to come up with any counterarguments or ways to persuade Xu Mu, looking hopefully at Liu Hun for his response. Liu Hun confidently chuckled, stating, “Director Xu, you are... too young... not in age, but in understanding of rural areas. Do you really think you can plant whatever you want in rural areas? Do you honestly believe that once the Li Family agrees, the Wang Family would listen to you? Perhaps you excel at handling finances, but you truly don’t comprehend how to navigate rural life, how to manage this piece of land.” As he spoke, Liu Hun gazed deeply at Wanbao Village, reflecting on his journey from being bullied by local thugs to becoming a revered figure. Only he knew the struggles involved, which weren’t resolved merely with money. “Director Xu, let me tell you what Wanbao Village can achieve, no other village can. Try your luck and invest your money to see if you can persuade every villager to plant a single crop? Try to ensure their output meets your standards? Try again when profits fall short, will they continue next year? Lastly, most importantly, when the Hu Group explores and experiments with new models, see which village will flatten their fields and orchards to experiment with you, unless you make cost-no-object investments.” Liu Hun fixed his gaze on Xu Mu, his aura naturally emanating—a phenomenon even he hadn’t realized. The sword emerges from its scabbard, and the aura skyrockets... Liu Hun didn’t intend for this to happen. The two women weren’t experiencing this aura for the first time, causing their hearts to race. This aura was... too overwhelming... more intimidating and masculine than even the former chairman. Xu Mu couldn’t help but think, glancing at Hu Qingdie beside him, somewhat understanding why she chose to collaborate with Liu Hun. Though he understood and appreciated it, as the board-appointed representative, his role was to strictly scrutinize and nitpick; otherwise, how could he assert his authority? “Ahem! Ahem! Although what you say makes sense! The conditions here are still quite poor, don’t you think? Look here, here, and here, oh, and here! Let’s go somewhere else to look! I can point out a slew of problems!” Xu Mu pointed dramatically with his orchid fingers, directing the group toward the riverbank. Listening to Xu Mu’s unreasonable words, Hu Qingdie not only didn’t frown but couldn’t help but smile, then told Liu Hun, “Once Director Xu starts being unreasonable, it’s a sign that the collaboration is about to succeed. Mr. Guan, I wonder if you could show me the various data and information of your village?”
