Chapter 363: Chapter 363 Liu Jiaxin Decides to Invest
"That won’t do. The village chief and those elders on the village committee have placed such deep hopes in me; I can’t let them down. Since I’ve decided to take on this position, I must do my utmost not to disappoint anyone."
"Right, if you think that way, doesn’t it all become simpler? So just set your mind at ease. I’ve already made inquiries. The way officials are appointed has undergone a reform, especially after the expansion of your hamlet’s administrative structure. It won’t be just you alone; an entire village committee team will be established, and by then, there will be people to help you with these affairs."
"I know about this," Uncle Li had already told me. If it weren’t for this condition, I probably wouldn’t have agreed to it, because I really can’t spread myself any thinner."
"Don’t worry, aren’t I still here? Do you really think I could just stand by and do nothing?"
"What do you mean?"
After saying this, he suddenly looked up at Liu Jiaxin, as if he didn’t quite understand the implication of his own words.
"After all, I come from this village too. And over the years, drifting around outside, I’m honestly tired and weary. I just want to live a peaceful life now, so I’ve decided to set up a business in the village. That way, I’ll also have the right to join the village committee."
"What? Start a business? Why haven’t I heard anything about this before? It doesn’t seem like you ever had such a plan. Didn’t you always encourage me to go out and explore? Now, why are you coming back instead?"
"I was thinking of going out with you, but who would’ve thought you’d get cold feet? You just didn’t want to leave the village. But later, when I heard you were running for village chief, I had a new idea. So I want to move part of my business here to the village, to bring benefits to the villagers."
"That’s wonderful! There are so many specialty products in the village, and every year, just finding the markets for them is a big problem."
"So, my next plan is to establish a food processing factory in the east part of the village, to collect all these local specialties and process them into various products, then sell them. I believe such an enterprise would be the greatest benefit for the villagers."
"Hmm, not bad at all, that’s really good. Your idea is innovative and forward-thinking, and I fully support it."
"You certainly should, because I haven’t yet submitted the business plan to the town. By the time it’s submitted and approved, you will already be the village chief. So me setting up a business here would also count as an achievement for you, like attracting investment."
"So what you’re saying is, I really should be grateful to you, right? And it’s also your biggest support to me after I take office, am I correct?"
"Exactly, that’s what I mean. See, don’t I always think of you? And you? Have you ever considered anything for me?"
"What could I possibly consider for you? I mean, there really isn’t anything to consider. You’re always one step ahead, and all I can do is work my head off. Don’t worry, wherever you need help, just say the word."
"So, you really plan on sending me away tonight?"
Having said that, Liu Zheng suddenly realized that this woman had ulterior motives, which was just as well. It had been a while since Liu Zheng had spent any time with Liu Jiaxin.
Luckily, Li Yanling hadn’t been clinging to him these past two days, or else he really wouldn’t know how to deal with both women.
"Sure, rest assured, I won’t let you off tonight, and I’m definitely going to have you."
He embraced Liu Jiaxin in his arms, feeling her rapid breathing and the seductive scent emanating from her body.
"Ding ding ding."
Just then, he heard the sound of knocking at the door again. After hearing it, Liu Zheng just frowned. Who could it be, so lacking in tact? Could it be another emergency case?
He quickly let go of Liu Jiaxin and went to the door, opening it in one swift motion.
"Congratulations, it looks like your position as village chief is securely yours. I just got the news from the village committee. Shouldn’t we celebrate properly tonight?"
Li Yanling walked straight into the clinic as she spoke, probably not expecting that there would be another person hidden in his room.
"Jia, Jiaxin? What are you doing here?"
Being from the same village, Li Yanling knew who Liu Jiaxin was.
"Oh, sister-in-law, what brings you here at this time? I just got here myself."
"Oh, nothing, I just got the news and thought I’d come over to tell him about it. Is there something, something going on between you two?"
"Heh, nothing much, I just came over to discuss other matters with Liu Zheng. Of course, my reason is the same as yours, isn’t it? To congratulate him. By tomorrow, it will be officially announced."
"Right, Liu Zheng, don’t forget what we talked about. When the time comes, you’d better nominate me as the Women’s Director so I can help you with more things."
"Don’t worry, I know what to do, so I’ve always been planning to give you this opportunity."
"Well, then, I won’t disturb you two any longer. You two chat, I’ll be on my way."
"Sister-in-law, take care now."
Liu Zheng escorted Li Yanling to the door, calling her sister-in-law for the first time. To be honest, after being together for so long, this relationship made the title feel somewhat inappropriate.
"What’s up?"
Liu Zheng returned to the room and then glanced at Liu Jiaxin, noticing that her complexion seemed a bit off.
"I can’t help feeling that whenever you two look at each other, there’s always an unease."
