Chapter 554: Stirring Trouble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Qingming, Mojunyan, and the people from the National Investment Corporation were discussing the future direction of the company.

Then, she received a call from her sister-in-law, Zhou Xiaoyu.

“Alright, I understand. Well be back soon.” Gu Qingming’s expression was very calm.

As soon as she hung up, Mo Junyan asked in confusion, “All Ming, what happened?”

Gu Qingming glanced at the people from the investment company and said, “Yes, more than ten villages around suddenly sent representatives over. They’re at home now.”

When President Chen heard this, he immediately asked in confusion, “Why did these villages suddenly send representatives to your house?”

Gu Qingming said seriously, “They said that their land is related to me. From what they said, their land is only taken back for 30,000 dollars per acre, and our company’s yield has reached more than a million. Therefore, I’m afraid they feel a little unbalanced.”

Mo Junyan’s sharp eyes immediately swept across the members of the National Investment Corporation and the government.

The expressions of the people from the National Investment Corporation and the government immediately changed.

They were responsible for the expropriation of land.

But now, the person who created trouble had directly looked for Gu Qingming.

What did this mean? It meant that their work was not in place at all.

President Chen’s expression was a little ugly as he said, “Let’s go. We’ll go back with you to take a look.”

At this point, he thought for a moment and instructed the staff, “In case of an intense conflict, Director Li, it’s better to transfer some people over!”

Director Li nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll give the order now.”

“In order to ensure CEO. Gu’s safety, why don’t you go back a little later?” Director Li suggested.

Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “No. My family has rushed back now.”

Mo Junyan said, “I’ll go back with you!”

“Since that’s the case, let’s go together,” President Chen said. “1 don’t know why those villagers suddenly went back on their word, but these problems were originally our jobs that were not managed well. We should solve them ourselves.”

Director Li nodded and said, “That’s true. Let’s go then. Let’s go together.”

Then, Gu Qingming and the others returned from the company.

When the Shi family received the call from Gu Qingming’s sister-in-law, they immediately put down their work and rushed home.

As soon as they returned home, they saw the crowd in the courtyard and frowned, not understanding what was going on.

Shi Tie Tou was the most senior member of the Shi family.

As soon as he got home, he asked a few people he knew.

“What’s going on? Why did you come to my house?” Shi Tietou asked loudly.

“Shi Tie Tou, it’s because you’re not being kind. We’re all here to demand fairness.” A person who was about the same age as Shi Tie Tou said, “We just want to be fair.”

Shi Tie Tou frowned and asked in confusion, “Fair? Fair? Zhou Dafu, what do you mean by that? Could it be that my family owes you money or something?”

“That’s right.” Zhou Dafu said. He looked at Shi Tie Tou with jealousy in his eyes. “Why should your company expand at the expense of our land? Your family occupied our land for more money. The production value of each acre has reached more than a million, but how much can you give us? You only gave us a mere 30,000 dollars.”

“In this era, what’s the use of 30,000 dollars? The down payment for buying a house in the county now is 200,000 to 300,000 dollars. Even if our family gives up all our fields, it will only be more than 100,000 dollars. Besides, I’ve been doing farm work since I was born and have been busy in the fields until now. If you take back the fields all of a sudden, what will we plant in the future?!” 𝐟𝗿𝗲𝗲𝐰𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Shi Tie Tou actually understood these people’s feelings.

For example, most people of their generation had gone through hard times. Land was their life.

Now that the land was suddenly gone, they would feel uncomfortable no matter what.

But what could he do?

This was an order from the country.

Shi Tie Tou said, “We can discuss things. Don’t be anxious. If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, just say it. We’ll think of a solution.”

“What negotiation? There’s no room for discussion now!” Someone immediately jeered. “Why should your family earn money but confiscate our land?”

“That’s right. After giving up these lands, we only get back about 30,000 dollars. In my opinion, it’s at least 300,000 dollars.”

“That’s right. Even if it’s 300,000 dollars, you’ve made a killing. You can produce more than a million per acre, and it’s the same every year. But our land is gone. 300,000 dollars is equivalent to selling all our assets.”

“That’s right. In my opinion, 300,000 dollars is still too little. It should be at least a million dollars. That’s only your family’s annual income. The land that has been expropriated is already yours. If you incur losses, you’ll only incur losses for a year. Wouldn’t you be making a huge profit in the second year?”

“That’s right. If there’s a million, you can take back all the land. We won’t have any objections. If there’s not a million, I’d rather keep those lands for myself and pass them on to my grandchildren.”

One after another, the compensation price for the land was getting higher and higher. Some people couldn’t wait to get back ten million dollars and make their families multi-millionaires.

When the Shi family members heard this, their brows knitted tighter and tighter.

The purpose of these people was to increase the compensation price.

They wanted the compensation of three million per acre.

They were dreaming.

Or perhaps, they wanted to make a fortune from this land seizure.

But how was that possible?

When Gu Qingming and the others returned home, they saw the crowd in the courtyard chattering like a market. It was very lively.

The government personnel also heard these discussions.

However, when they heard that they had to compensate them with millions per acre, such a huge compensation made their faces darken.

If possible, they really wanted to scold them for daydreaming!

However, they could not.

Because they were public officials.

They must be people-centred public servants in the service of the people.

Just as these villagers were discussing excitedly, someone shouted when they saw Gu Qingming and the others appear, “Gu Qingming is back.”

Not only did Gu Qingming return, but the government officials also followed her.

The event location fell silent.

To the villagers, the government officials were still very dignified.

Director Li looked at the villagers at the scene and said sternly, “What are you doing? Do you want to cause trouble? If you want to cause trouble, I’ll arrest you.”

Upon hearing that they were going to be arrested, some of the villagers immediately cowered and hid behind the others.

However, a bold villager said, “Director Li, we didn’t break the law.”

Director Li said sternly, “Gathering a crowd to cause trouble is illegal!”

The villagers were speechless..
