The supernatural boss of the end of the world is doing well after crossing into the book
Chapter 406 Questioned
"Village chief, we were indeed waiting for someone here, but suddenly someone knocked us unconscious and beat us up from behind. My back still hurts!" Yang Bing explained hurriedly, fearing that he would anger Village Chief Yang.
"Did you see who it was?" asked Village Chief Yang.
"I didn't see it." Yang Bing lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at Village Chief Yang.
"Hurry up and go back. You are embarrassing yourself here." Village Chief Yang looked at them with disgust, then walked away without looking back, not caring whether the people behind him caught up or not.
The village chief and Tiezhu had no idea that they were almost tricked. At this time, they were almost back to the village entrance.
"Village Chief, Village Chief, how is it? How is it? Is it sold?"
As soon as the village chief returned to the village entrance, he was surrounded by a large group of villagers, who asked him questions all at once.
Seeing so many people gathering in front of him, Tiezhu had to stop.
Lin Xi watched from afar and did not join in the fun, because she knew that as long as someone who knew the goods had seen the brown sugar produced in the village, there was no reason why it could not be sold. She was very confident about this.
Moreover, just from the smile on the village chief's face, you can tell that the brown sugar must have been sold.
"Village chief, please tell us something! We are getting so anxious."
"Yes! If we can't sell it, we will lose a lot. Not only will we waste the sugarcane, but it will also waste our time and effort, delaying our efforts to work in the fields."
"Alright, disperse!"
"The brown sugar is sold at a good price, so you should just work hard! The brown sugar in our village is good, so why worry about not being able to sell it!" The village chief was surrounded and did not scold loudly as usual. Instead, he softened his tone and let the villagers disperse.
"All sold? Is this true? That's great."
"But how much did the village chief sell the brown sugar for? How much did he sell it for?"
A new round of questions from the villagers came one after another, and the village chief was confused by their questions.
"What are you thinking? I just took a few pieces of brown sugar out. How much can I sell them for? They were just samples. I just gave them away."
"As for the price of brown sugar, I will find an opportunity to hold a village meeting, so don't ask me." The village chief saw that only some villagers were here. He didn't want someone to come and ask him about it soon after he said it here. It would be more convenient to hold a meeting directly to convey the matter.
"Village chief, it would be great if you could bring back the brown sugar! How can you just give it away? No one in our village has even tasted it!"
When the crowd heard the village chief say that the brown sugar had been given away, they expressed dissatisfaction.
"Village chief, you wouldn't have hidden the brown sugar for yourself and then said you were giving it away!" The villagers' talk became more and more outrageous, and they almost said that the village chief had embezzled the brown sugar.
"Is that human language? Who am I working so hard for? It's for the sake of making everyone in our village live a good life. You are really ungrateful!" The village chief was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
"I was just talking, don't react so strongly, Village Chief!"
The person who was pointed out by the village chief refused to admit that he had said something wrong and even made an excuse.
"If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass to eat. I don't care how many of you have the same idea as him. I can only say that I have a clear conscience!" After the village chief said this, he angrily pushed away the villagers who were blocking his way and broke out from among the villagers.
He took two steps and then stopped. "If you want to get more money at the end of the year, go cut more sugarcane and stop talking nonsense here!"
"Lin Zhiqing, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Come on, I'll tell you what happened this time." The village chief walked up to Lin Xi and laughed awkwardly a few times!
"Well, let's go!" Lin Xi didn't say anything dissatisfied, but she knew that the village chief must have been hurt by the villagers this time.
The villagers who had just gathered together, after hearing what the village chief said, ran to the fields to cut sweet potatoes. However, the villagers who left did not notice that several of them walked out of the village and quietly went to the next village.
"Village chief, did this trip go smoothly?" Lin Xi asked after returning to the village office.
"It went smoothly. Director Gao gave me a price of one yuan per pound, which is about what you expected. I also read the agreement before signing it. It's about what you said. Here is the agreement. Please check if there is anything wrong with it."
The village chief took out the agreement directly from his briefcase. Lin Xi read it from beginning to end and found no problems.
"Village Chief, there is no problem with this agreement. Now that it has been signed, we can start mass production of brown sugar. As for who should be assigned to work, I believe you know better than me!"
"Then, Lin Zhiqing, how much salary do you think is appropriate?" The village chief was also having a headache. He knew nothing about this matter!
If he paid the same wages as in the city, he was afraid of losing money. If he paid too little, he was afraid that no one would go to work. This was a difficult problem!
"How about fifteen yuan a month without food and accommodation?" This is the most suitable price in Lin Xi's mind. The monthly salary of an ordinary worker in the city is generally eighteen to twenty yuan, and fifteen yuan is about the same in the village.
"Then it will be fifteen yuan a month, but how many people should we recruit?" The village chief had a new worry.
"If we want to increase production, the few people we had yesterday are definitely not enough. We need at least ten more people. In addition, we need to arrange not only people to cut sugarcane, but also to go to other villages to collect sugarcane. Otherwise, with the little sugarcane in our village, we won't be able to produce much brown sugar."
"If we want to make more money, we have to go to other villages to collect the sugarcane. However, it is a bit difficult to find someone to collect the sugarcane. This person must not only be able to speak, but also have some martial arts skills so that he will not be easily hurt." Lin Xi said all the problems he thought of.
"I do have a candidate. What do you think of Gu Qi?" When the village chief heard Lin Xi say this, he had already thought of Gu Qi. Although he felt that the boy was a little impulsive, he was the most suitable in other aspects.
Gu Qi? The one who stood in front of me during the fight with the neighboring village? He looks pretty reliable...
"Since the village chief has been chosen, let's follow his decision!"
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Lao Wu should be back soon, so I won't keep you, Lin Zhiqing." The village chief smiled and drove them away.
"Village chief, I'll leave first." Lin Xi didn't know what the village chief meant by this, because she had no idea that Gu Tingxiao borrowed her bicycle to go to town to buy him breakfast.
When she saw Gu Tingxiao coming to her with breakfast, she finally understood what the village chief had just said.
"You went to town just to buy me breakfast?" Lin Xi pointed at the bag in Gu Tingxiao's hand.
"Well! Eat it while it's hot." Gu Tingxiao handed over the bag in his hand.
"Let's eat together..." Seeing the sweat on Gu Tingxiao's face, Lin Xi guessed that he had not rested along the way, so she pulled him to the foot of the mountain. After a while, they sat on a big rock to eat breakfast.
At this time, you can still vaguely hear the village chief holding a meeting on a loudspeaker.
"Village chief, you have to choose me this time. You know my family is in financial difficulty and can barely make ends meet."
"Village Chief, my family is also in trouble!"
"Yes! Even someone like Mrs. Li can go in and work, why can't I?"
"That's right! How can I be worse than Granny Li? She and I are from the same year! Could it be that you, the village chief, let her work in the sugar factory because she has a good relationship with Lin Zhiqing?"
"Yes! Let's not talk about Tiezhu and Dazhuang. This Li Po can actually go in to work. Village chief, are you sure you are not seeking personal gain?"
"Did she do you any favors?"
The villagers who did not get job opportunities spoke more and more outrageously, even talking about bribes without any scruples, just to put pressure on the village chief so that they could get jobs too.
The village chief's face turned green with anger, but he did not lose his temper on the spot. Instead, he picked up the loudspeaker in his hand and started speaking.
"Don't you think about how much Mrs. Li has changed, and how much you have changed! You must know what you are like better than I do, so I don't need to say more! Lest I embarrass you in front of so many people..."
"And if you keep talking nonsense, you won't have to go to work cutting sugarcane."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. It's like no one cares about you. Not only is it hard work, but the work points you earn are few. I still don't want to go!"
"That's right! I'm not going either!"
"And me, I won't go either. I might as well sleep at home!"
A few troublemakers in the village stood up and opposed the village chief.
"Is there anyone who doesn't want to cut sugarcane? If so, stand up now." The village chief did not respond to them, but asked everyone present.
Afterwards, at the signal of a few troublemakers, two more people stood up.
"Okay, if you guys don't want to go, then don't go. Oh, I forgot to tell you that those who go to cut sugarcane will not only get work points, but also receive 20 cents per person after completing the task every day!"
The village chief was looking at those people when he said this, and it was obvious that he was targeting them. They were very angry, but the words had already been spoken and they could not take them back, so they could only slip away from the crowd angrily.
"Village head, is it true what you just said about giving me 20 cents?"
After those troublemakers left, some villagers started asking questions.
"Of course it's true. As long as you complete the task for the day, everyone will get 20 cents." The village chief assured.
Two cents a day, that's six yuan a month, although not as much as working in a sugar factory, but don't they still have work points? It's about the same...
Many villagers calculated silently in their minds and immediately started to sign up, fearing that they would miss out if they were slow.
"Village chief, count me in, I will do my best."
"And I…"
"Village chief, me, me, me!" The villagers signed up enthusiastically, and the village chief was immediately surrounded again.
"Everyone line up first, and then come to me to register." The village chief sat on a stool that had been prepared long ago, and took out a pen to write down in a notebook.
After everyone had signed up, the village chief selected a few reliable people to go out with Gu Qi to harvest sugarcane, and also selected a few people to work in the sugar factory. Those who did not sign up regretted it to death, while those who were selected were overjoyed!
"Okay, that's the arrangement for now. Remember, as long as you work hard, you will definitely have a good year this year."
"We must do a good job!"
"Yes, don't worry, village chief!"
One person took the lead, and soon all the villagers followed suit.
"Just do your best. I've said everything I need to say. Just do what you need to do."
"Gu Qi, you guys come with me. I have something to tell you." The village chief said to Gu Qi and the others, then walked back to the office with a loudspeaker.
"Village chief, do you really want me to be responsible for harvesting sugarcane?" Gu Qi still couldn't believe that this task really fell on him.
"Of course, after thinking about it, you are the most suitable one. But what I want to say is that you must not conflict with people from other villages, and you must not enrich yourself!"
"If I find out that any of you are trying to gain some benefits from this, I will send you to the police station!" said the village chief seriously.
"Understood, Village Chief."
"Village chief, I will definitely keep an eye on them." Gu Qi now knew that he was also a "small boss" and immediately expressed his loyalty.
"Just take care of yourself, kid. I'll be grateful if you don't cause trouble for me." The village chief directly hit him, causing several people to laugh.
"What are you laughing at? You must listen to me from now on." Gu Qi scolded with a stern face in order to save his face.
"Yes, Brother Qi." Several people gave face to Gu Qi, even Brother Qi came out.
"Hehe, from now on you can call me Brother Qi. I like to hear it. Brother will definitely protect you guys." Gu Qi started bragging. The village chief really didn't want to listen to him bragging anymore, so he left after paying the money for collecting the sugarcane.
"Brother Qi, take a quick look, how much money is in there?"
As soon as the village chief left, the few people who had just been calling Brother Qi started to make a fuss.
"Then I'll open your eyes." Gu Qi winked proudly, then took out the money in the envelope and counted it. It was exactly one hundred yuan, no more, no less.
"Wow! That's a lot of money. This is the first time I've seen so much money in my life!"
"It's still a lifetime! How old are you? It's already a lifetime. A lifetime is so long, maybe you can see more in the future." Gu Qi looked at the man with regret and flicked his forehead.
"Brother Qi, will that day really come?"
"Of course, have some ambition, maybe you can become a rich man in the future."
"Then I will work hard with Brother Qi and strive to become a rich man in the future."
"Me too…"
They never expected that a joke they made at that moment would become a reality many years later.
"Then just follow me and work hard, I will make you rich."
"But should we now discuss where to harvest sugarcane tomorrow?"
"How about we go to Yangjia Village, which is the closest to us?"
"No, I would never go there. Yangjia Village has a grudge against our village. Do you think they will sell sugarcane to us?" Gu Qi thought it through and never thought of going to Yangjia Village to collect sugarcane from the beginning.
