Chapter 214: Chapter 214 What Do You Have to Compete With Me?

Chen Dashan looked at the villagers surrounding him, each with a face full of hostility. Many of them were also rushing over with iron farming tools in hand.

To the villagers at that moment, Chen Dashan was nothing but a stumbling block to their wealth.

They were absolutely relentless in dealing with him.

Wang Shiman’s face was fraught with tension as she gripped Chen Dashan’s clothes tightly, fearing that the crowd would come to blows at the slightest disagreement. With so many people, Chen Dashan would be at a clear disadvantage if it came to a fight.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

"Gathering a crowd to create a disturbance is a crime that carries a heavier sentence, and disturbing public order entails imprisonment under the criminal law!"

Han Yifei rebuked them coldly.

The villagers looked at Han Yifei with a touch of awe in their eyes. The noise had just quieted down when someone shouted loudly, "This land is ours, do we need your approval to rent it to someone? Besides, there are so many of us that even if the police come, they can’t do anything to us!"

At these words,

the villagers, as if injected with adrenaline, raised their tools and yelled, "Right!"

"We won’t rent our land to you anymore. If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for getting physical!"

"Hurry up and get out of our village!"

"Get out!"

The atmosphere was tense; Chen Dashan and the three others were surrounded in the middle, faced by a crowd of menacing villagers.

Qi Shuzhu stood by the office window, a cold smile playing on her lips, as the old butler beside her gleamed with joy, "Miss, that’s a brilliant move!"

"The saying ’money talks’ is absolutely true. Miss’s insight into human nature is incomparable. What can that kid Chen Dashan do against you?"

Qi Shuzhu was brimming with pride.

She called out loudly to Chen Dashan outside, "Chen Dashan, do you have something to say to me?"

Her clear, pleasant voice carried over. Chen Dashan turned his head, his gaze piercing through the crowd to the open space by the greenhouse where three tin-roofed houses had been erected. Qi Shuzhu was standing at the window of the first room, looking at him with a mocking smile. Her fair and delicate face seemed out of place with the crude tin house.

Chen Dashan’s lips curved upward slightly as he said indifferently, "Nothing much."

"In a few days, I will have someone prepare your maid costume, Miss Qi."

Even now, he was stubborn as a mule.

Qi Shuzhu seethed with anger; not only did Chen Dashan not give her face in front of so many people, he also insulted her. Her expression cooled as she said, "A wise man submits to circumstances. I’m giving you one last chance: sell the formula to me. Let’s not interfere with each other, I have no interest in wagering with someone of your caliber."

"It won’t be as simple as paying a penalty if you can’t provide the medicine after I acquire the planting base!"

"Right, Chen Dashan?"

Qi Shuzhu tilted her chin up, her attitude haughty. She deliberately analyzed the consequences of her acquiring the Medicine Field to intimidate Chen Dashan into submitting to her.

At that moment, Qi Shuzhu, with her chin raised, was like a princess in the clouds, and the likes of Chen Dashan were nothing but mud beneath her feet.

"Let’s talk about that when you manage to acquire the planting base," Chen Dashan said calmly, his gaze shifting to a black Volkswagen SUV not far away.

Seeing Chen Dashan’s arrogant attitude, Qi Shuzhu’s anger rose to her throat. She said to the villagers, "As long as the Qi Family can acquire Chen Dashan’s Medicine Field, every household will receive an additional fifty thousand on top of the rent. Discuss it ’properly’ with Chen Dashan!"

Fifty thousand?

The villagers were instantly stunned by the figure; their breathing became more rapid. Their eyes glinted with greed as they stared at Chen Dashan and his companions, more intent than ever on succeeding.

"The Qi Family really has the means. Renting the Medicine Field to the Qi Family means we’ll make it big!"

"Yeah, who could resist money?"

"This kid just can’t afford to pay, and he’s even blocking us from making money!"

"Is it easy for us villagers to make some money?"

Villagers gathered together, their minds dazzled by the money promised by Qi Shuzhu, surrounding Chen Dashan, refusing to let go.

Chen Dashan looked indifferent. Before coming, he had already contacted the local secretary of Suburb, who had now arrived, ensuring that the Medicine Field would not be sublet again. Han Yifei, standing behind Chen Dashan, had a cold expression. Known as the Queen of the Legal World, when had she ever seen such a scene?

This group of villagers was impervious to reason, with nothing but money on their minds.

A group of villagers encircled Chen Dashan, their faces all showing disgust, pressuring him to give up the contract for the Medicine Field voluntarily.

"Secretary Fu is here!"

Suddenly, someone shouted out loud.

The villagers’ faces lit up with joy, many looking into the distance, as they saw a black Volkswagen SUV parked next to the greenhouse. A villager said, "With Secretary Fu here, things will be easy. Secretary Fu has everyone’s best interests at heart; even if Chenwang Pharmaceutical is overbearing, they can’t win against an official!"

"Yeah, Secretary Fu will definitely have a way!"

"Recently, our village had assessment targets. Contracting the Medicine Field to the Qi Family can increase everyone’s yearly income, which is beneficial for Secretary Fu’s promotion too."

"This is a win-win situation for everyone!"

The villagers chattered away, with someone sarcastically telling Chen Dashan, "If I were you, I’d leave quickly!"

"We all don’t want to rent the Medicine Field to you. What’s the point of clinging on here?"

Han Yifei was speechless, looking at the group of villagers twisting the facts, she said, "Chenwang Pharmaceutical signed the contract first, you are the ones hiking the price and breaching the contract afterward. How dare you have the audacity to drive us away?"

"According to the law, Chenwang Pharmaceutical is the rightful owner of the Medicine Field now. It’s you who should leave. You are trespassing; we are already being generous by not pursuing legal action..."

"You, how can you talk like that!"

"Don’t think that just because you are a woman, we wouldn’t dare to take action!"

Someone refused to accept this, neck stiffening ready to start a fight, causing chaos at the scene.

Qi Shuzhu stood by the window, her face full of schadenfreude, while the old butler behind her was smug.

"Stop!"

A dignified male voice rang out, causing everyone to startle and the arguing to abruptly cease.

Chen Dashan turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a frown striding towards them. Dressed simply in a white short-sleeve shirt, suit trousers, and sports shoes covered in yellow mud, as if he had just rushed over from the countryside. Deep worry lines furrowed his brow, giving him a troubled look.

"Secretary Fu!"

"Secretary Fu."

Villagers called out one after another, gathering behind Fu Weimin.

A few villagers looked at Chen Dashan and his group unfavorably, with someone preemptively saying, "This kid doesn’t want to leave, forcing us all to a confrontation."

"Yeah, and..."

Before they could finish, Fu Weimin said sternly, "Why should Boss Chen leave?"

"The contract has already been signed. If a man goes back on his word, who would dare to undertake contracts for our village’s Medicine Fields in the future?"

The villagers were stunned.

They hadn’t expected Fu Weimin to take Chen Dashan’s side. Even Han Yifei looked surprised, glancing at Chen Dashan. She saw how Chen Dashan and Fu Weimin locked gazes in the air before nodding politely to each other.

It was then that Han Yifei understood. Chen Dashan had already made arrangements.
