w.a.n.g Yao made a move to leave after he finished talking about the matter.

“What’s your opinion?” w.a.n.g Jianli’s wife asked softly.

“On what?”

“The matter of those few houses.”

“Jianye has asked about it. Originally, I had already dealt with this matter, who knows he came to ask about it too!” w.a.n.g Jianli said. He was worried about this matter for the past few days.

One was a relative of his own family, and the other was a young man whom he could not weigh up the most in the village. He did not want to offend neither one of them.

“If I were to say, rather bully the old, don’t bully the poor who is young,” his wife said.

“What do you know!” w.a.n.g Jianli smoked quietly.

His heart was also biased towards w.a.n.g Yao. On normal days, no movements by the young man could be seen. He stayed on Nanshan Hill all day and his shadow could not be seen. However, a few incidents had made him realize how scary the connections of the young man was.

He crushed the cigarette when he only smoked halfway.

“Prepare a few things. I’m going to Jianye’s house tonight.”

“Okay.”

In the afternoon, w.a.n.g Yao went to town, bought a few things and went to Tong Wei’s house.

After sitting in her house for a while, both of them went out.

“Where are we going?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Should we just stroll around?”

“Sure.”

w.a.n.g Yao parked his car at a spot and the two of them hung out on the street.

When couples date, they go shopping, watch movies, eat and stroll in the park. To go deeper, they roll on the sheets.

The two strolled for a while. When they got tired, they found a fast food restaurant and sat down. They ordered some snacks and chatted while sitting down.

“Which do you think is better, Jing City or Lianshan?” Tong Wei asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Each of them has their own advantages. Jing City is the capital of the country. It’s prosperous with complete infrastructure and has better education and medical conditions; Lianshan is a small town where one can finish walking around it in a day. It’s quiet and has a slow pace,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.

“I like Lianshan more.”

After all, he was born here, grew up here and his roots were here.

“Oh,” Tong Wei answered.

When it was close to evening, they did not go back to Tong Wei’s house to eat, but found a restaurant to have a simple meal instead. Then, they went to the cinema to watch a movie.

It was a romance comedy and most of the people watching were couples.

The plot was nothing special. Watching it was just for the sake of the atmosphere.

w.a.n.g Yao slowly reached out his hand. Then, a soft hand was held in his hand.

The movie was played slowly,

both of them sat quietly,

time slowly pa.s.sed by like this.

The sky outside was getting darker.

When the movie was over, people slowly dissipated.

“I’ll send you home then?”

“Sure.”

Both of them were holding hands and walking back.

“Should I get the car?”

“We’ll just walk. It’s just a few steps.”

It was much cooler at night than during the day. After dinner, there were more people on the road.

“Look, isn’t that the daughter of Lao Tong?”

“Yes. She has found a boyfriend!”

“He’s really handsome!”

“Come have a seat inside,” Tong Wei said softly outside the door.

“It’s okay. It’s not very early now. Have a rest early.”

“Drive safe.”

“Okay.”

After leaving, w.a.n.g Yao drove the car back to the mountain village.

In the mountain village, there was a family.

“What is it, Second Brother?”

“There were other people who want to buy the houses and the land you’re interested in as well. The county committee has specially discussed this matter and there are different opinions.” w.a.n.g Jianli said while smoking.

w.a.n.g Yao went to his house at noon. He made a decision after thinking about it. Then, at night, he brought something to visit that family and returned all the things the person gave to him last time.

“Who is it!?” the middle-aged man was not happy after hearing.

This was originally a matter that he had considered for a long time. The location was also chosen. Furthermore, he went to the secretary’s house more than once and the other party had agreed. Why did it change again suddenly?

“Who is it?” he asked again.

“It’s w.a.n.g Yao,” w.a.n.g Jianli replied.

“He bought Nanshan Hill and now he wants to buy that piece of land. Why?” the middle-aged man said with dismay.

“I didn’t promise him too. Why don’t you two compete fairly?”

“How do we compete fairly?”

“The person who bids a higher price gets it.”

This was a way that he thought of. People should avoid offending others as much as possible and things should be made to look as fair as possible.

Bidding should be fine?

“How is this okay!?” the middle-aged man said.

The villagers said w.a.n.g Yao had made a fortune by buying Nanshan Hill. His car was worth hundreds of thousands. His family was definitely not short of money. If they were to bid, the man would be the one who would lose.

“Second brother, please help me with this matter. I’ll thank you.”

“Jianye, it’s not that I don’t want to help. I’m not the only one in the county committee.”

w.a.n.g Jianli made a move to leave after saying a few more words.

“d.a.m.n, this old man must’ve received some benefits from w.a.n.g Yao!” the middle-aged man shouted angrily in a low voice.

“Sigh, the young people always make me do these troublesome things.” w.a.n.g Jianli lighted a cigarette and slowly walked in the direction of his house.

It looked like this was just a village with hundreds of households. However, it was not easy to become a party secretary of the county. There were many things to consider. He was a man who was almost 50. Sometimes, he could not sleep at night. It was not like other villages here where land could be sold to make money. In such a ravine, people did not want to come back after being invited. Just like the houses that w.a.n.g Yao was interested in, a courtyard that was quite big. If it was located in Lianshan County, it would be impossible to purchase the land for less than 1.5 million. However, the price here was not even one-tenth of the price there, or even less. Even if that was the case, there were still people eyeing on it.

At about 10 o’clock, w.a.n.g Yao returned home, informed his family and walked up Nanshan Hill again.

It was still very quiet in the mountains.

Should I go to the city again tomorrow?

After returning this time, he still had a lot of things to do.

Just now, he carried a lot of herbs from home. The quality of these wild medicine herbs was quite good. The way of doing things by the Su family was absolutely rea.s.suring. He had already exchanged some of the medicine herbs through the system and he only prepared to leave a small portion behind from the remainder.

Ssssss, when he arrived at the mountain lodge, he heard a strange noise. He did not discover anything when he looked in the direction of the sound. The dog lying in the kennel just looked up, and lied back down again.

“San Xian, what is it?”

w.a.n.g Yao walked a few steps to where the sound came from and saw a snake.

“Eh, it’s you!”

He knew at first glance that it was really the thin snake that he rescued the other day.

“You have gotten quite big.” Judging from its bigger size, it seemed that the snake wandered around here quite a lot in this period of time, so the dog did not care about it.

The snake lifted its head and looked at w.a.n.g Yao.

In the dark night, a person and a snake stared at each other like that.

“Go back.” w.a.n.g Yao smiled while waving. Then, the snake really turned around and left.

“Does it wander around here often lately?”

Woof,

“Did it touch the herbs?”

Woof woof,

“This is weird!”

w.a.n.g Yao thought to himself. Sedge was planted here. This type of licorice gra.s.s was not as simple as keeping poisonous insects away. It could restrain most of the poisons. Snakes generally would not come near it and hide far away just by smelling the unique scent. This snake was obviously ‘different’.

The next day, w.a.n.g Yao originally wanted to go to the city, but he received a call from home asking him to go into town.

Several stones s.h.i.+fted,

the trees moved joyously as if they were dancing.

“Subsidy. Isn’t this sort of thing handled uniformly in the village?”

“Just go when I ask you to. Oh right, there’s a certificate here. Stamp on it too.” w.a.n.g Yao’s mother, Zhang Xiuying arranged a lot of tasks for him.

“Okay. I’ll go now.”

w.a.n.g Yao drove the car into town.

“What’s the situation?!”

When he arrived at the town government, he found out that the town government had never been this clean before. Of course, it was not to say that it was normally dirty.

“h.e.l.lo, how can I help you?”

“So polite?!” w.a.n.g Yao was stunned. It was not his first time coming to the town government. He did not remember these staff members being this enthusiastic previously.

“Is there any new action recently, emphasizing the service att.i.tude of public officials?”

Then, w.a.n.g Yao’s eyes widen at the sight of the efficiency of these people.

“This is strange.”

Just as he was surprised, a few people rushed downstairs. Each of them was wearing trousers and s.h.i.+rts. It was as if most of them were preparing to go on a blind date. Of course, their age might be a bit old. Among these people was w.a.n.g Mingbao’s father.

“Xiao Yao?” w.a.n.g Mingbao’s father saw w.a.n.g Yao as well.

“Uncle.”

“Please wait for a moment. I still have some things to do.” He thought that w.a.n.g Yao came to look for him.

If it was on normal days, he would put the things in his hands aside and meet w.a.n.g Yao alone. However, he could not do so this time. There were higher-up leaders coming to inspect and the situation was special.

“Please go ahead,” w.a.n.g Yao replied with a smile.

These people seemed to be prominent figures in town.

w.a.n.g Yao did not know and did not want to know what they went out for. He immediately found the relevant department, handled the appropriate procedures and prepared to go back.

The main personnel of the town government waited outside in the courtyard of the town government. They waited for less than 10 minutes when a car came in from outside, followed by the second and third car. Just then, they received a notice from the county which said that there were higher-up leaders who went to town to inspect and had already set off from the county, asking them to get ready. However, they did not expect them to come this soon.

“I can go back now that things are done.”

w.a.n.g Yao went outside. Just as he reached the door, he then saw a scene that could normally only be seen on television. The higher-up leaders were inspecting and shaking hands with the main leaders in the town.

Moreover, he seemed to know the person standing at the most front.

The Munic.i.p.al Party Secretary of Haiqu City, Yang Haichuan.

Why did he suddenly come here?

Some staff members saw w.a.n.g Yao and hurried over. He just wanted to speak when some of the higher-up leaders outside had already walked in.

“Don’t talk nonsense later!”

w.a.n.g Yao turned around and planned to retreat to the side. Unexpectedly, Secretary Yang discovered him.

What a coincidence!

He had a smile on his face and quickly walked towards w.a.n.g Yao.

“h.e.l.lo, w.a.n.g Yao. What a coincidence!” He took the initiative to say h.e.l.lo.

“h.e.l.lo, Secretary Yang.” w.a.n.g Yao greeted back with a smile.
