Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Is This Path Feasible?
"That’s not necessarily the case. A pituitary tumor is a type of benign tumor in the human body. The problem is that it’s located in a particularly dangerous area, and if it were to rupture, a person could die at any moment. However, if it is removed in time and done so thoroughly, there shouldn’t be any lingering effects."
"So you mean to say that you can use this half month to take control of everything? Aren’t you oversimplifying things? Taking advantage of someone’s illness to get rid of them, I feel like your idea is a bit off-topic."
"No, no, no, he no longer dares to be willful in the village. Do you know that? You weren’t there for that scene earlier where he was planning to detain me in the village. Then, he would go around summoning people. However, unexpectedly, those he called were just like the old and the weak, some of them couldn’t even walk steadily."
"So, are you saying that the villagers have seen all this and also understand whose side they should be on at this time?"
"Exactly, which is why the villagers’ intentions are completely clear. At this point, I should be able to take advantage of the situation to take over a village."
"It does sound like a viable plan, but the real question is whether executing it will be as simple as it sounds. And another thing, when is he going to return to the village? He can’t stay in the hospital forever. Once he’s back, won’t he continue to make trouble? Didn’t you consider that?"
"He certainly won’t stay out of trouble, but I hope that after this brush with death, he’ll gradually come to understand everything. However, if he insists on causing trouble, rest assured, I have my ways to deal with him, especially since by then he’ll no longer hold the position of village head. So, no matter how much he acts up, he’s just an ordinary villager."
After hearing this, Liu Jiaxin just nodded in agreement. It was true, Liu Zheng’s plan didn’t seem far-fetched, but would things fall into place as he wished? It was all an unknown.
It seemed the progression was quite smooth, but it was unclear whether subsequent events would unfold in the same way?
"Alright, no matter what, our progress is relatively smooth for now, and you also can ensure that no villagers will make trouble here in the coming days."
"There won’t be any disruptions. Besides, I’ve already negotiated with his son Yang Dazhi. When the time comes, I’ll recommend him to the factory and have him in charge of the purchasing department. You can entrust him with all the agricultural product procurement. He has years of experience, so there definitely won’t be any issues."
"Is Yang Dazhi trustworthy? After all, he’s the village head’s man, and no matter what, he’s in charge of liaisons."
"My intuition tells me that there shouldn’t be any big problems. His son has always been upright and honest. So, over these many years of handling agricultural products, everything has been smooth sailing. He also mentioned that business with agricultural by-products has been tough these past two years. Even if they buy here at a high price, they can’t sell them off."
"That’s because the market for agricultural by-products is already saturated, so the situation is definitely not as good as in the previous two years. If we didn’t have our own food processing plant, then holding onto these agricultural by-products would end up stuck in our hands."
"Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to compromise and cooperate with us. Don’t worry, he’s a person we can put to use. And since he is in our hands, controlling him is akin to controlling that old man. Even if he causes a commotion, I believe we won’t be afraid of him."
"Alright, I hope everything goes as you say. Well then, I have lots of troublesome matters to deal with at the construction site, so I’ll get going now. You better hurry along with your things. I’m really a bit worried about leaving Liu Yang alone in the clinic."
"I’ll go over to Liu Yang later and explain things to him slowly. Okay then, go ahead, and we’ll stay in touch if anything comes up."
After the conversation, Liu Jiaxin nodded confidently and immediately left with a spirited stride, but he didn’t head back to the clinic. The village committee had some ongoing issues that he needed to handle.
On seeing Liu Zheng enter, the others quickly stood up from their seats. He merely nodded in acknowledgment, then he sat down at a nearby table.
Noticing a thick stack of documents on the table, Liu Zheng walked over, picked up the papers, and reviewed them carefully.
Indeed, these were the fish pond contracting plans they had drawn up before. Now, different parties had submitted letters of intent, and it was time to conduct a final review of their qualifications.
"Doctor Liu, since you’ve returned, these people are all interested in contracting the fish pond. We’re reviewing their qualifications, and actually, pretty much everyone comes from a professional background with at least five years of fish farming experience. This truly makes it difficult for me to choose."
"What’s so difficult about this choice? How many of these people are from our village?"
"None from our village. Besides, we know the people here, don’t we? Not one of them has any experience in fish farming. At one point, some wanted to contract the pond, but we rejected them. Giving the pond to someone with no fish farming experience is just asking for trouble."
"Right, that’s always been my concern. So, I’m saying, if we can’t find a suitable candidate from within the village, then we should select someone from outside. But remember, whoever you choose must live far enough away from here. Got it?"
"What? Far enough away?"
Upon hearing this, Li Dazhuang just frowned, confused by what Liu Zheng meant by ’far enough away.’ Moreover, what did where he lived have to do with whether he could contract a fish pond in the village?
