Lifeng is not interested in the disputes of Tenglong Group.

But this scream of anger made him stop packing the materials.

He looked up and saw the leader of the boatman yelling at Ye Hui from afar.

"You are the person in charge, Mr. Ye. Let's put the words here - as long as you dare to start construction, we will go to the construction site to pull banners, find reporters, and go to the city to appeal!"

Ye Hui should be a good-tempered person. Facing such an outrageous threat, he still said patiently: "Everyone, if you have any questions, we can communicate slowly..."

"Communication?" The boatman's anger could not be appeased by him at all, "There is nothing to communicate, the cross-river bridge cannot be built!"

"Yes! Can't be built!"

There were so many boatmen, they echoed him noisily, venting their anger endlessly.

The room was filled with loud shouts from them, and Lin Yiqi immediately rushed to Lu Feng's side to help pack up the materials.

He whispered: "Tenglong is in serious trouble. I heard that this group of boatmen just made a fuss in the district government last week. The police have arrested them, but they haven't solved it yet. Brother Feng, let's go first?"

"How?" Lu Feng looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Lin Yiqi was taken aback by his question, and suddenly realized that he looked towards the door.

More than 20 boatmen came and formed a human wall, stalemate with the engineers of Tenglong Group.

Liont, who was about to leave just now, was blocked by them and sat back at the conference table helplessly.

This group of boatmen didn't even give Mr. Ye face, whoever dared to rush over would be cannon fodder!

Lin Qi thought seriously, and tried to come up with a plan A, "Otherwise... I'll get close to the boss in the past to attract their attention, and you and Mr. Chen will take this opportunity to—"

Before he finished speaking, he clicked the mouse on the side of the wind, and the expensive audio equipment in the conference room suddenly rang out with deafening background music!

The impassioned tone instantly overshadowed all quarrels.

Everyone's brains were blank, and they instinctively looked towards the place where the sound came from.

I saw the young designer at the front of the conference room casually playing the promotional video on the desktop, without any intention of pausing the playback to give up space for conversation.

Not only that, after the short shocking music, the promotional video came out with a well-spoken broadcasting tone——

"This is the land that breeds hope, and this is the cradle full of dreams!"

Noisier and more deafening!

Finally, the rhythm clicked to pause, and the projection screen was frozen on the beautiful scenery overlooking the river.

When the sound stopped abruptly, he raised his head, looked directly at the panic of everyone, and said, "It's a good shot."

His calm praise dilutes the smell of gunpowder in the meeting room.

Once the angry quarrel is interrupted, the accumulated anger will be cleared and restarted.

The boatman's gaze was full of surprise, staring at the video screen that made a super loud noise, subconsciously reprimanded: "What the hell is this!"

"A promotional video for Yuejiang New Area."

Li Feng maximized the frozen picture, adjusted the volume to a comfortable size, and continued to play.

The green water and green mountains in the promotional film are refreshing, and the voice of the commentary has become gentle and solemn. In the glimpse of overlooking, there are a few cruise ships floating on the clear river. Anyone who sees such a scenery of mountains and rivers will yearn for it.

In the soft background sound, Lufeng said: "Mr. Zhang Guowei, you have reasons for opposing bridge building, but there is a need to build bridges across the river. Since Mr. Ye is here, why don't you sit down and have a good talk?"

The expression of the leading boatman immediately changed.

"you know me?"

Li Feng replied: "I have rented your boat many times."

Hearing these words, Zhang Guowei's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked Li Feng up and down.

Neatly trimmed short hair, impressive handsome looks.

Very young, but very polite...

He raised his finger to Li Feng, "You, you are that painter!"

Lu Feng evoked a slight smile, and replied friendly: "I'm not a painter, I'm the designer of the bridge over the river."

Zhang Guowei has worked as a boatman on the river for more than ten years, and he has received countless guests. This is the first time he has met someone like Lu Feng.

He often chartered the whole boat by himself and asked Zhang Guowei to sail around the river and back.

And he always holds a sketchbook, looks at the scenery on both sides of the river, and quietly draws those green trees and cliffs.

Occasionally bring a SLR camera, and patiently shoot those cliffs and rivers that Zhang Guowei sees as unchanging.

At that time, Zhang Guowei asked him, "What do you do?"

Lu Feng didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "Have you ever thought about what kind of bridge will be built across the river?"

Zhang Guowei is also a person who can understand winks, so he didn't ask about Lu Feng's affairs, and silently decided that the guest was a painter.

Who knows, he is not a painter at all, but the designer of the cross-river bridge!

Zhang Guowei recalled the carefree and comfortable time when he chatted with Lufeng, and then thought of Lufeng helping Tenglong Group to do evil, and suddenly felt that he was being played.

A group of capitalists unite to bully these uneducated boatmen!

Furious, he raised his hand and pointed at Li Feng impolitely, and shouted angrily, "You liar!"

Faced with his accusation, Lufeng tilted his head in confusion, "Mr. Zhang, what did I lie to you? I paid double the rent for the boat, and you also happily chatted with me about crossing the river and crossing the river. life, and told me a lot of stories about crossing the river. And—"

"I remember that you wished to build bridges."

Zhang Guowei's face froze, and the people around him also looked at Zhang Guowei with unbelievable expressions because of Lu Feng's words.

"What happened to Lao Zhang?"

"How did you agree to build the bridge?"

"Did you forget how we were driven away when the Xingrong Bridge was built in the neighboring area?"

Zhang Guowei was embarrassed by his companion's question.

The huge pressure made him immediately refute Lu Feng loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about! The bridge cannot be built!"

The bluffing roar did not offend Li Feng.

Standing on the stage, he could see Zhang Guowei's struggle and entanglement, and he could also see the pressure on Zhang Guowei from his companions.

Lufeng still remembers the expression on the boatman's face when he talked about the cross-river bridge, excited and excited, full of expectations for the bridge that will be built on the cross-river in the future.

He also mentioned the bridge he had seen on TV, and happily said——

Our bridge across the river is of course more magnificent than those bridges!

Lu Feng looked directly into Zhang Guowei's angry eyes.

He said: "Whether the bridge is built or not, Tenglong Group will develop the Yuejiang New Area into a new tourism economic zone, and build new residential areas around the future Yuejiang Cultural Center, resorts, and the characteristic tourism culture around the river."

"Of course, including Mr. Zhang, your village will also demolish old and dangerous buildings to rebuild homestays, repair the main road buildings in the village, and build a new cultural and commercial street. It is expected to accommodate 8000 residents and 3 tourists a day."

Lufeng said: "Mr. Zhang, only relying on your ferry, the Yuejiang New District cannot receive such a large flow of people."

The data of 3 tourists stunned the boatmen.

They went back and forth throughout the day, and they never counted the number of people on both sides of the strait, but they also knew what an astronomical figure "3" was!

From the murmur of different expressions among the boatmen, Li Feng felt strong disapproval.

Suddenly, Zhang Guowei hated him and shouted: "Even if our ferry can't accommodate so many people, it's better than no one. You people are now talking about taking care of our boatmen and developing tourism so that tourists can enjoy it." Come to play by boat, when the bridge is built, it’s not like Xingrong District, build a bridge that can’t let boats pass at all, make a lot of money by yourself, let those of us who rely on boats for food, drink the northwest wind!”

When the boatmen heard this, all the hesitation and hesitation just now disappeared.

Immediately echoed: "That's right! You people from these companies can't believe what you say!"

"Your bridge is built, and our boats can't sail, so what will we rely on for food then?"

"You can't build a bridge. After your bridge is built, what we say is useless."

The meeting room, which was finally quiet, fell into the boatman's anger again.

Straightforward anger, burning towards Rhythm on stage, mixed with panic about losing the means of sustenance.

The angrier they are, the more Li Feng can feel the helplessness in the words.

Xingrong District made a bad start, smashing all the expectations and longings of the boatmen for the bridge, making them stubborn and irritable, and only using quarrels to protect their own rights and interests.

In front of such a person, it is useless for him to say anything.

Because they won't listen.

So, Li Feng stopped talking.

He directly opened a video file, and in the next second, a blue sky and clear water appeared on the huge screen in the conference room.

The river flows peacefully across this land, and the bird's-eye view is full of imaginary tranquil beauty.

However, across the river, which is verdant and green and shaded by trees, there is an arch bridge that can never exist, quietly crossing the two banks.

It is as real as if it has been standing on the river. The magnificent body has a clear and handsome shadow, which is leisurely sprinkled in the clear river water, becoming a part of the excellent river view.

A pleasure boat swayed past gently, disrupting the peaceful blue shadow of the river.

Lufeng said: "Whether crossing the river bridge will make your life worse or better, I just ask you to see for yourself."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Guowei frowned, looking hesitantly at the harmonious scenery of green water, green mountains, bridges and boats on the screen, unable to find words to describe his confusion.

Such a scene is too real, but he clearly knows that this cannot be a real video!

Because there is no such a magnificent and beautiful bridge across the river!

"This is the concept video I made."

In his uncertainty, Lufeng patiently explained: "In the future plan of Tenglong Group, a new cross-river district with cross-river bridge will definitely not give up the cruise ship project like Xingrong District."

Following his voice, the scenery on the screen was pushed to the end, and quickly swept across from the end of the Yuejiang Bridge to the Yuejiang New District, like a tour from the perspective of a tourist.

The sound of gurgling water sounded in the ears of the boatmen, just as they heard the sound of oars breaking the water every day.

The video played by Lawwind seems to be a tourist with a camera who recorded the scene of his walking into the Yuejiang New District.

On both sides of the stone road, antique residential buildings are located on both sides.

The slight and clear sound of footsteps led everyone through the exquisitely decorated ancient commercial buildings to see the natural scenery preserved for hundreds of years across the river.

The boatmen were quiet, their expressions were only slightly surprised.

The people from the Tenglong Group were particularly shocked.

Their company hired a professional team to make a model of the future crossing the river. None of the mountains, rivers, boats and bridges are as real as the videos!Not to mention the buildings, green trees, and stone roads reflected by the light and shadow!

It's a video, it's more like a well-shot movie.

That kind of hearty look and feel accompanies the viewer to walk through the leisurely and quiet bamboo forest and lake.

But after a while, they saw a familiar boat at the ferry of Feipuya.

The pleasure boats were repainted and prettier than their gray riverboats.

When the angle of view fell on the boat, the screen was still shaking, as if it was really stepping on the boat. Even the river water in the background sound seemed to be laughing at the land tourists who came from afar, unable to stand on their riverboat.

After boarding the boat, the camera calmed down and slowly sailed out of the ferry.

However, their cruise ship did not cross the river, but went down the river, and the shadow of the cross-river bridge could be seen in the distance.

The boatman in the room stared silently at the scene of the ship sailing to the cross-river bridge.

The employees of Tenglong, who had been confused for a long time, felt that the video was about to end, so they hurriedly pulled Lin Yiqi beside him to ask questions.

"Little boss, is this made by your company?"

Lin Yiqi was no less surprised than them, "My brother Feng should have done it. Our company doesn't make this kind of concept video."

After getting the answer, their eyes were even more shocked.

They asked an outside team to make a concept video, which cost a lot of money. After waiting for ten days and a half months, the quality of the finished product was far inferior to the current video.

Lufeng not only made it himself, but also created the realistic feeling of the mountains and rivers interdependent, natural and quiet in their imagination.

The crossing of the river on the screen and the crossing bridge in the distance made them deeply moved.

"How can a designer make a concept video by himself?"

"...Then there is no designer to do the feasibility study report by himself."

As the ship approached the crossing bridge leisurely, Lufeng finally spoke amidst the noise in the conference room.

He said: "What you see is the complete tourism planning route of Yuejiang New District: start from the Yuejiang Bridge, pass through the built cultural and commercial street, follow the scenery of green mountains and green trees, and walk to the upstream waterfall. Here , Most of the passengers are exhausted and have a hard journey, so they will take the ferry, go down the river, cross the river bridge, and return to the port where they got off at the beginning."

The calm and elegant tone of the law wind blends into the gentle sound of the river, bringing excellent audio-visual enjoyment to the conference room.

The scenery on both sides of the cruise ship has become the best foil for the law.

It seems that they are also tourists who participated in this tour, and they will end the final journey with this cruise ship.

The boatmen were still reluctant to agree. They chattered around Zhang Guowei and talked about their opinions, and they were no longer in the mood to watch a future video.

The video is good, and the scenery is also good. If this kind of development can be successful, the Yuejiang New District will definitely attract more tourists, and the income of the boatmen will also increase due to the increase in tourists.

but--

"Who can guarantee that your company will develop the Yuejiang New District like this?"

Zhang Guowei's sight does not seem to be easily moved by a video.

The cruise ship was still moving slowly, and his will would not be so easily shaken.

Li Feng was regarded by him as a member of the Tenglong Group, and he didn't waste time explaining.

He said: "Regardless of whether tourism in the new area is like this or not, you also need a bridge across the river."

"The year before last, the government did not allow any ferry boats to sail across the river because of the cross-river flood peak. Therefore, the villagers in the cross-river area could only spend an hour detouring the Xingrong Bridge to cross the river."

Zhang Guowei shook his head and disagreed with his example, "The flood of the year before last was only encountered once in 20 years..."

"Mr. Zhang, I remember your reason for wanting to build a bridge."

Lu Feng's words directly interrupted Zhang Guowei's stubbornness.

Under the surprised gaze of the other party, Li Feng said: "It is true that a big flood is rare in decades, but in the most critical time, a bridge can save many lives.

"They don't have to worry about the outage of the ferry during the heavy rain, and they don't have to worry about the ferry driving too slowly, and there is no car to pick it up from the other side, which will delay the treatment."

"As a boatman, you have experienced many dangerous things on the river, and you understand the meaning of a bridge better than me."

"So you said, it would be nice to have a bridge."

Zhang Guowei remembered his feelings with Lu Feng.

His daughter was sick, and it was raining heavily and he had to send her to the hospital on the other side.

In the dark night, he braved the rain and sailed to the other side, but he still couldn't stop the cold wind and rain from drenching his daughter. Fortunately, the hospital provided timely treatment, and his daughter's condition did not worsen due to the rain and cold.

When he talked about such a topic with Lu Feng, he was proud of being a father, but also regretful and helpless.

Because there are many elderly people living in the village, some of them died before the doctor came to the village, let alone the hospital.

Ferries are the means of livelihood for their boatmen.

But there is no bridge, and how many people regret it, causing people in the village to slowly choose to move away from here.

In the meeting room, only the sound of the river splashing in the video can be heard.

The cruise ship that attracted everyone's attention finally swayed through the spacious arched bridge hole.

The sunlight was blocked by the bridge hole, and after the picture dimmed slightly, the carvings hidden under the cross-river bridge were revealed.

People who focused on watching the video were full of doubts and discussions.

"What's under this?"

"It seems to be a relief... It should be a relief from the war years."

Their discussions gradually spread in the conference room as the reliefs passed the camera one after another.

It's like a group of tourists on a boat, admiring these murals with hidden stories.

The reliefs have very easily recognizable human features.

There are boatmen in shabby clothes, and there are red soldiers with red stars pinned on them.

In the next few paintings, the boatman's resolute expression of breaking the oars, smashing through the ferry and being tied up is clearly shown.

Anyone who has heard one or two stories about the war era can vaguely feel what this string of reliefs wants to express.

Only the boatmen sitting in the meeting room looked at each other in amazement and shock.

People like them who have lived across the river for generations will always proudly tell a story to tourists who come from afar.

The retelling of that story dozens or hundreds of times has long been engraved in their hearts.

Even deeper than the relief in front of you.

Zhang Guowei looked at the simple paintings in disbelief, even if he hadn't read many books, he could understand the content of the carvings.

"...This is "The Boatman Across the River"."
