The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 146 - 146 145 Promotion

146: Chapter 145: Promotion 146: Chapter 145: Promotion “I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Last time was a life-threatening crisis, and we were in the right.

This time, the group is dispatched by the County Committee, and even if they’re giving chaotic commands and making a mess, they haven’t caused any major incidents, and what’s more, we’re in the right,” Luo Xiangjun hurriedly spoke up, although last time Liu Hun intervened, pulling down a big shot from the town and another from the county, the situation now is completely different, and the same methods of handling can’t be used.

After several people finished speaking, they turned their gazes towards Cai Yan, which somewhat surprised her and moved her even more, completely unexpected that these women had already accepted her as one of their own.

Cai Yan felt a warm feeling inside, as comfortable as taking a bite of freshly made donkey meat sandwich, her haughty and chilly demeanor also lessened quite a bit as she slightly smiled and said, “I don’t understand much about these things.

But, I want to remind you, the village up ahead may have stopped operating small chemical workshops, but the pollution is still there.

It needs to be dealt with before these pollutants seep further into the soil and groundwater.

Otherwise, forget about development for the next few decades, just treating the pollution and the sick would be trouble enough for you.”

Cai Yan’s words did startle Liu Hun slightly, he hadn’t expected Wanbao Village to have such a hidden danger and promptly asked, “How should it be handled?”

“My lab and company have reagents for treating soil pollution, but the reagent can only remove larger pollutant particles.

The smaller pollutant particles still need massive planting of pollution-cleansing plants,” Cai Yan explained.

Seeing the seriousness on Liu Hun’s face and knowing he wanted more arable land to develop, she continued, “There’s no luck involved in this.

On polluted land like this, aside from pollution-cleansing plants, it’s hard for other crops to survive, let alone bloom and bear fruit.

And even if by some miracle they do bear fruit, those fruits would be polluted.

So, either give up on Wanbao Village or clean it up.”

After hearing Cai Yan’s words, Liu Hun felt Wanbao Village’s whole planting setup definitely wouldn’t work for the village in front, ensuring a fruitful harvest would mean his Qi Force would have to be used repeatedly on the harvested fruit every year, and he’d probably work himself to death.

So, he actually came up with another idea,

But to realize this idea, he first had to deal with Xu Haijiang currently in front of him.

Liu Hun nodded at Cai Yan and said, “I’ll think about this seriously.

First, we need to deal with Xu Haijiang.”

“How do we deal with him?” Qin Yue chimed in and asked.

“We’ll be soft this time, not tough!

Let’s be Xu Haijiang’s free PR team!” Liu Hun said with a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

“PR team?” Several women asked in near unison.

“Yes!

I’ve already inquired through people in the Township Government, after Xu Haijiang’s research he plans to do a series of things in Wanbao Village.

Whatever he plans to do, once the news comes out, we’ll summon all our energy to promote it!” Liu Hun told the women, his face breaking into a sly grin.

“How do we promote it?” Qin Rou asked next.

“First, I’ll get Xu Haijiang’s first-hand planning through Ren Peiling and people from the Township Government.

Then…” saying this, Liu Hun pointed at Qin Yue and said, “Qin Yue, I’ll tell you his plans.

Then you need to organize everyone in our village, and tell them his plans, making sure whenever they go to town to buy a chicken or sell vegetables or whatever, they talk it up!

Say how great the plan is, get it?”

“That’s just like gossiping about Zhang Family’s, Li Family’s and Wang Family’s business, about Wang Family’s daughter-in-law cheating, right?

I got it!

Don’t worry, leave it to me, I promise it’ll be done.

Our village’s people might not be good at many things, but when it comes to talking, each one is as good as the next.

I guarantee they’ll sing praises to the skies and spin it really well!” Qin Yue said with a gleeful smile.

She had only realized after becoming village chief just how many crafty talkers there were under the bridges, akin to professional storytellers in Wanbao Village.

Liu Hun nodded at Qin Yue, then turned to Luo Xiangjun and said, “Xiangjun, the school at our temple also has kids from other villages and from the village up front, right?”

Luo Xiangjun nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right.

What about it?”

“Find something fun for the kids, make up some songs and rhymes for them to sing.

Really talk up Xu Haijiang’s plans, sing his praises as much as you can!” Liu Hun told Luo Xiangjun.

He knew these mountain village kids too well—once they got something catchy on their mind, they’d mutter and mumble it everywhere.

Last time, who knows which wise guy made up a rhyme about Widow Cheng which the rascal kids picked up, and they nearly caused a death with their recitation.

“Pfft!” Luo Xiangjun laughed as she covered her mouth and said, “They’ve been nagging me to make up nursery rhymes to teach them, I’ll do my best!”

Liu Hun also smiled tenderly at Luo Xiangjun, then turned to Qin Rou and Bai Lian, saying, “Sister Qin, Sister Bai Lian, in the recent period you guys should be more diligent about taking vegetables, rice, meat, and such to the village up front.

Delivering these goods to relieve the urgent needs of the villagers there is very important, but what’s more important is to help promote Xu Haijiang’s plan.

However, you must make sure to direct everything towards Xu Haijiang and pay special close attention to how you speak; otherwise, the fire in the village up front could very well spread to you.”

“Got it!

Don’t worry about a thing!

It’s not a big deal at all, no problem!

Bai Lian and I will be careful,” Qin Rou quickly assured Liu Hun.

Ever since the sequence of events unfolded in the village up front, many households were unable to uncover their pots.

These problems were all dumped onto Ren Peiling’s desk, but, thanks to Liu Hun taking over the matter, Qin Rou and Bai Lian would lead people to the village up front from time to time to deliver warmth.

After Liu Hun finished speaking, Luo Xiangjun asked, “But…

but what if Xu Haijiang really succeeds with his plans?”

As soon as she said this, the few women around were startled.

They truly hadn’t thought about this possibility—if Xu Haijiang’s plan actually managed to revive the village up front, wouldn’t that be like putting him on the altar as a deity?

Liu Hun had already thought of this question.

He smiled and said to the women, “Right now, the village up front has nothing but people and land, and even the land is polluted.

Cai Yan just said no matter what you plant, nothing grows.

Xu Haijiang has only got authority and a plan.

What’s most important, he doesn’t have money!

Even with money, he wouldn’t clean up the pollution; without addressing the pollution, the money will just go down the drain.

Just wait and see!” This time, he needed to deal with Ren Peiling and even make her disappear for a while.

After speaking to the women, Liu Hun turned his attention to Cai Yan.

Even though he didn’t know the purpose of her visits over the many days, she had been helpful at several critical moments.

Therefore, Liu Hun hadn’t forgotten her this time either, and smiled at her, saying, “I’m also going to need your help this time.”

“Oh?!

What help?!” Cai Yan asked with an arrogantly tilted head, clearly enjoying the sensation.

“The pollution remediation in the village up front needs to be expedited.

If we wait until after dealing with Xu Haijiang to purchase the land purification agents and plants, arranging transport and planting will take even more time.

The village up front cannot afford the delay.

So, I would like to ask you to start making arrangements for this matter right now,” Liu Hun sincerely requested of Cai Yan, as the village up front, being a future development priority, obviously couldn’t be delayed.

Cai Yan, with her head cocked and lips pursed, seemed to ponder over something for a while, then nodded and said, “No problem!

If there’s money to be made, I’m certainly willing!”

Actually, Cai Yan had almost blurted out her agreement immediately, but then sense and sensibility collided at her lips, and she held back her words.

She calmed down and reasoned with herself that she was clearly here to uncover Liu Hun’s tricks, so why was she repeatedly helping him out now?

Just as this thought hopped out like a rabbit, another thought swooped down like an eagle to chase the rabbit back.

That thought was: the more Liu Hun did, the more flaws he would expose, which would be easier for her to catch, wouldn’t it?

Yes!

That’s it!

That’s exactly how it is!

Cai Yan thought to herself, easily convincing herself.

The next day, in the meeting room of the Township Government, Xu Haijiang finished three days of research and compiled a stack of documents.

Then, standing in the foremost position with the pride of a victorious rooster, he said, “We have been sent by the County Committee!

We must not let down the county leaders and the people’s expectations for us!

Therefore, given the situation in the village up front, I’ve formulated a set of planning proposals overnight.

Take a look and see if there are any opinions?”

The people below looked back and forth, those with a bit of ink in their bellies felt that Xu Haijiang was merely painting a pie in the sky—fine for placating superiors, but anyone who really went for it would be a fool.

Those merely biding their time naturally understood nothing.

But whether they understood or not, they all knew one thing: Xu Haijiang was the boss here now!

No one wanted to be the first to offend him.

Xu Haijiang was very pleased to see no objections from below.

He nodded slightly and said, “Since everyone seems to think…

hold on!

Where did Mayor Ye go?

Why don’t I see Mayor Ye?”

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the absence of an important figure.

He was very pleased that Liu Hun hadn’t shown up.

Ren Peiling, whom he saw as a useless woman, was merely a decoration; even so, the decoration should be there.

Having asked, the person beside him replied, “Mayor Ye had some family matters, so she went to the city.

She said she wouldn’t be able to return until three days later.”

Xu Haijiang smiled and nodded slightly.

Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity given by heaven for him to show what he could do?

If he could handle the village up front’s situation, the credit would be all his, having nothing to do with Ren Peiling and even less with the piece of dogshit that was Liu Hun.

A thought swiftly crossed his mind, and Xu Haijiang immediately came up with an even better idea.

He wouldn’t just prevent the other two from sharing the credit—he would use them as stepping stones!

“Listen up, everyone!

Since Mayor Ye isn’t here, I will be in full charge of Taiping Town’s affairs!

Finance Department, immediately allocate five million to me!

Let’s start with three pilot projects.

The rest will follow in due order!” Xu Haijiang commanded, demanding five million with a flip of his lip.

The Head of the Finance Department shuddered, almost dropping his cup.

He hurriedly said to Xu Haijiang, “Group Leader Xu, the town’s fiscal expenditure requires the signature and stamp of Mayor Ye.”
