Chapter 71 Promise

"What?"

Hearing his mother's words, Chen Xiaonan was stunned.

Zhao Xiaoyan wanted to raise funds to build roads, which was considered a good thing. In the past, he would have had no objection.

But now, if the road is repaired by her, how can I get the Taoist temple?

Moreover, now recalling what Zhao Xiaoyan said, he suddenly felt that Zhao Xiaoyan wanted to build the road because of him.

"Xiaonan, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing him in a daze, Zhang Cuilan asked doubtfully:

"It's a good thing that Zhao Xiaoyan built roads in the village. This way you don't have to worry about road construction. How nice."

"Mom, I'm fine."

Chen Xiaonan smiled:

"By the way, where is Party Secretary Liu? She hasn't come back yet?"

"No, but it should be soon."

After Zhang Cuilan finished speaking, she and Chen Dashan went back to their room to discuss road construction.

Chen Xiaonan was waiting in the yard, preparing to have a good talk with Liu Jingyi.

Half an hour later, Liu Jingyi finally entered the house, and he hurriedly greeted her:

"Zhishu Liu, I heard that Zhao Xiaoyan proposed building roads. Is it true?"

"ah!"

As soon as Liu Jingyi entered the door, she didn't expect that Chen Xiaonan would suddenly come out, and she jumped immediately.

After seeing his face clearly, he patted his chest and took a breath:

"Chen Xiaonan, what are you doing? You scared me to death."

"Zhishu Liu, is it true that Zhao Xiaoyan wants to build a road?"

Chen Xiaonan laughed sarcastically and asked again.

"Yes, the village chief summoned the villagers today just to discuss this."

Liu Jingyi said angrily.

"Liu Party Secretary, that's not possible. We agreed that I would solve the road construction problem. How can you break your promise?"

Chen Xiaonan frowned and said.

"you?"

Liu Jingyi couldn't help but sneered:

"Chen Xiaonan, do you really take that seriously?

Yes, I promised you, but are you capable of solving the road construction problem?"

"And now, the method proposed by Zhao Xiaoyan is considered feasible. Should we just ignore her method and wait for you to solve the problem?

Then we can’t wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?”

"Zhishu Liu, in Zhao Xiaoyan's plan, the villagers contributed 10 million, right?

But it costs 20 million to build the road, so she should pay for the remaining 10 million, right?"

Chen Xiaonan said seriously:

"But have you ever thought about why Zhao Xiaoyan did this?

Will she willingly give out 10 million?"

"Of course she won't, she has conditions."

Liu Jingyi said:

"She wants to return to the more than 30 acres of peach orchard for Zhao Datou. Of course, she will provide timely subsidies to the villagers, and the money will not be less in the future."

"Also, after the road is repaired, the villagers will have to sell all their fruits and grain to her within five years, and the price will only be 10% higher than now."

"Liu Party Secretary, you should understand that if the road is repaired, the price of the fruit will at least double, 10%, which is such a disadvantage."

Chen Xiaonan said.

"The villagers have suffered a bit, but without Zhao Xiaoyan's 10 million, how could the road be built?

If the road is not repaired and the 10% is not available, wouldn’t the villagers suffer even more?”

Liu Jingyi said helplessly.

"Zhishu Liu, if this is the case, will you still approve the Taoist temple to me?"

Chen Xiaonan frowned and asked.

"Of course not. No matter what, the Taoist temple is still the property of the village. If you have no contribution, I have no right to grant it to you."

Liu Jingyi shook her head.

"Then Party Secretary Liu, I will build this road! Moreover, I will not ask the villagers for a penny, nor will I force the villagers to sell me fruit or grain."

Chen Xiaonan thought for a while and said firmly.

However, Liu Jingyi smiled silently after hearing this:

"Chen Xiaonan, please stop joking, okay?

I'm very busy and don't have time to play with you here."

After saying that, she walked around Chen Xiaonan and walked towards the house.

"Zhishu Liu, I will definitely solve the road construction problem within a week!"

Chen Xiaonan turned around and said loudly.

Liu Jingyi paused, turned around, and took a deep look at Chen Xiaonan:

"Chen Xiaonan, are you serious?"

"Yes, it will definitely be solved within a week!"

Chen Xiaonan said firmly.

"This..." Liu Jingyi frowned and fell into deep thought.

Reason told her that she shouldn't trust Chen Xiaonan, because he really didn't have the ability to get 20 million in a week!

But looking at his firm eyes, she felt in her heart that he would be able to do it for some reason.

"Liu Party Secretary, I know this makes you very embarrassed, so let's just treat me as yours for a week. If I can get the funds, then the villagers won't have to spend so much money in vain.

If I can't, then it won't be too late for you to follow Zhao Xiaoyan's suggestion."

Chen Xiaonan said.

Hearing this, Liu Jingyi's heart suddenly moved.

A week is not a short time, but it is not a long time. After all, road construction cannot be completed in a day or two.

But if Chen Xiaonan really solves the road construction problem, then the villagers will get huge benefits. It is not impossible to try it in a week.

Thinking of this, Liu Jingyi nodded heavily:

"Okay! Chen Xiaonan, I will believe you just once. I will try my best to postpone Zhao Xiaoyan's proposal. I hope you will not disappoint me."

After saying that, she took a deep look at Chen Xiaonan, turned around and returned to the room.

To be honest, she didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong, but subconsciously, she still chose to believe Chen Xiaonan.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaonan immediately let out a breath.

Raising 20 million in one week is also an extremely difficult task for him.

But for the sake of Lingquan, it is worth taking a risk.

After all, cultivation is the foundation, money is just a foreign object after all, and the importance of the spiritual spring to him cannot be measured by money at all.

After returning to the house, lying on the bed, he began to think about how to get 20 million.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any practical method.

"Forget it, it's not an option to continue thinking like this. Let's send my sister to school tomorrow and go to the city to see if there are any opportunities. Now, let's practice hard first."

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaonan sat upright and started practicing...

There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, the villagers sat together and discussed road construction.

"Don't tell me, although Datou Zhao is not a good person, his daughter is indeed capable. I heard that she is also the deputy general manager of a company in the county!"

"Yes, it seems that their company is doing the road construction this time. If you ask me, it's better to have something to do with it!"

"Yes, 30,000 yuan per family is too much. This is almost all the property of our rural families!"
