Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Someone Got Hit by a Car
"Actually, our most important task right now is to merge with our neighboring village, Chenhe Village."
"This has been an old topic, hasn’t it? The previous village head already started preparing for this, but unfortunately, we have never achieved what we wanted."
"That’s why, no matter what I go through this time, I must win over that village. Also, Liu Jiaxin, what do you think about the factory location issue?"
"Haven’t I already told you? It should be at the eastern end of the village. There’s a large vacant space there, and it’s windy, cool, and well-ventilated, which would benefit the construction of our processing plant. So, I plan to build it at the very east end of the village."
"No, that location definitely won’t work. I’ve changed strategies. It’s not at the eastern end of the village, but at the northern end."
"What did you say? The northern end of the village? Are you joking? There’s no place for that. And, if you go past two small woods and a river, you reach Chenhe Village next door. If you tell me to build there, where am I supposed to build? Aren’t you just looking for trouble?"
"I am indeed looking for trouble. Let me tell you, even if you build it anywhere, you must not forget this option. We need to get this factory up and running between the two villages as soon as possible. Only then can we effectively control both villages. Moreover, with permission from the higher authorities, we are essentially one village; there’s no such thing as two separate villages."
"But, that location—from sunlight exposure to various other conditions—is really not as convenient as the riverside at the eastern end."
"I don’t care. I don’t care how difficult it might be initially, but this has to be taken into account. Moreover, I’ve already figured out the real use for that plot of land at the eastern end. I plan to dig it up and establish a fish pond, which I can then lease to someone."
"What? Create a fish pond?"
"Yes, I’ve passed by that area several times and have already looked it over. It really is just as Liu Jiaxin said—all aspects are very good. But raising fish is also a fantastic idea. Not far from there, there’s a mountain spring. We can divert water from there, and we’ll have our distinctive mountain spring fish pond. When we market that, won’t our brand cause a sensation?"
"That sounds great. I used to think you were only good at treating and saving people. I had no idea you were also so clever in business matters. Then how do you plan to handle the fish pond in the initial phase, and who do you intend to lease it to?"
"Anyone can lease it. I’ll be holding an open recruitment for it. Even if it’s not someone from our village, we can find a professional from outside to lease the place. However, there’s one condition—they need to share the profits with the village committee. That is, the more they earn each year, the more our village committee gets a share. Wouldn’t this get the funds flowing?"
"Hmm, I think this suggestion is really excellent. What does everyone else think?"
"I see no problem with it. So, Mr. Village Head, what do we do next? Prepare for the merger of the two villages?"
"Merger is imminent and necessary. You all here, please take the trouble to compile a detailed record of the history the two villages have left over the years and list the existing problems within the villages, including how the villages were split in the first place and the circumstances back then."
"My, that will indeed require some effort. Plus, our generation might not be very familiar with the grievances of the previous generation."
"I don’t care whether you understand or not, and whatever method you use, you just have to ensure the task is completed. That means, you must gather the required information for me. And if you find the environment here unsuitable, you can ask some of the elderly people in the village, as they definitely have memories of this matter."
"Well then, since I’ve taken on your task, we’ll go all out and do our best. Doctor Liu, rest assured."
"I hope everyone can acknowledge me, and I hope you’ll cooperate well and understand me, because I still have my main business—that’s the clinic. Nowadays, if there are patients, I must..."
"Doctor Liu, Doctor Liu!"
Even before Doctor Liu could finish speaking, someone rushed in hurriedly from outside. Even without seeing the person, his voice was already carrying through.
Upon hearing all this, Liu Zheng could only shake his head helplessly. He knew all too well that he could not continue to serve as the village head worry-free.
Therefore, Liu Zheng stood up and opened the door. At that moment, he saw a middle-aged man run into the village committee courtyard in a fluster.
"Doctor Liu, Doctor Liu, come quickly, please take a look."
"What’s wrong? Don’t panic. Tell me exactly what happened."
"Just now, at the entrance of the village, a child was hit by a car."
"What? Hit by a car? Lead the way immediately."
Without another word, Liu Zheng followed him, and they rushed outside hurriedly.
The others who were left behind really didn’t know what to do next.
But for Liu Jiaxin, who had seen much of the world and knew the villagers well, she was already accustomed to Liu Zheng’s emergencies and no longer found them novel.
"As a doctor, that’s just how he is. Liu Zheng was in the midst of a discussion just now—he should focus more on treating and saving people. And since we are his core team members, whatever we plan to do, must be through us to be truly accomplished."
"Jia Xin, don’t worry. Now that Doctor Liu has offered us such good treatment and chances, how could we not cherish it? It’s just that our meeting isn’t over yet, and he left in such a hurry. So what do you say, should we just keep waiting here?"
