238 Put in a Spot

"Principal Cao, what's your opinion?" One of the shareholders asked.

"I'll announce this in a few days. Let's discuss other issues." Principal Cao chose to put this problem aside for the time being.

If there wasn't a better solution after some time, he could only acquiesce to the council's proposal.

Hearing the result, Lin Hao only felt a little sad and helpless. Although he wanted to help Chu Ning, his ability was limited and he could not do much.

Even the principal had no choice but to accept the shareholders' suggestions. Lin Hao didn't think that he was more important than the principal to these people.

At the same time. In Qinghe village, Chu Ning had already arrived at the greenhouse planting area. In the labor agreement she had signed with Wen An, she had only hired around 90 residents of Qinghe village. In reality, the permanent population of Qinghe village was far more than that.

It wasn't that Chu Ning didn't want to expand the scale of production, but she had limited funds and energy. After all, her main occupation was still school.

Just as Chu Ning was about to ask the Qinghe villagers about the details of farming, an unkempt man in his twenties suddenly blocked her way.

The unkempt man looked at Chu Ning with greed and desire.

"Who are you? Don't you see the sign at the gate? No trespassing! This is the plantation area of our Qinghe village. What are you, a stranger, doing here? Could it be that you were sent from other places to secretly learn our technique? Or do you have any other ulterior motives?"

The unkempt man's expression was exaggerated, and his tone and voice were a little strange.

Chu Ning's face was calm as she listened to the unkempt young man in front of her. She looked down slightly at him.

He was not as tall as her, and she was at least 1.8 meters tall in high heels.

Chu Ning had seen the name list of the Qinghe villagers who were working for her. She had no impression of this person in the more than 90 photos.

In other words, this person was not Chu Ning's employee, and the greenhouse that had existed for many years had nothing to do with Chu Ning. The area that Chu Ning had rented was still under construction.

"I'm President Chu's secretary," Chu Ning said lightly. She looked at the person in front of her and did not want to talk much to him.

"What President Chu? I've never heard of him!" The unkempt man did not plan to let Chu Ning in. As a resident of Qinghe village, he must have heard of President Chu. However, he chose to play dumb.

At this moment, an honest-looking villager from Qinghe village said, "Buddy, just get out of the way. She's really President Chu's secretary, and she has a collaborative relationship with our village. She's the personal secretary of a big boss. If Village Chief Wen finds out that you're obstructing her, do you still want the subsidy that Village Chief Wen applied for for you? If Village Chief Wen were to cancel it for you, you won't even be able to afford your meals." The honest-looking resident persuaded.

However, the usually lazy Buddy was suddenly full of confidence that day. He said disdainfully, "I don't want the grant that Village Chief Wen applied for me! I don't need this little bit of money!"

However, just as the unkempt man finished speaking, another villager from Qinghe village said in a mocking tone, "You said that you don't need the subsidy, but how many people in our village have you borrowed money from over the years? You haven't returned the money you borrowed, have you? Not lacking in money? Then return me the 2,000 yuan you borrowed from me before, I'm short of money right now."

This villager was one of Chu Ning's employees. Although he did not know that the Chu Ning in front of him was the real President Chu, he knew that it was right to protect President Chu's Secretary.

"Brother Zhu, I really didn't expect you to be so short-sighted. And you people, just for a few tens of thousands a year, you work for that President Chu of unknown origin. You should know that Qinghe village is our territory! He has reserved such a large plot of land in our village. I wonder who will be the one calling the shots in Qinghe village after some time. I feel that Village Chief Wen is still too young. Brother Zhu, I owe you 2,000 yuan, right? Alright, I'll transfer it to you now."

The unkempt man addressed as Buddy immediately turned on his mobile phone and found the contact information of brother Zhu. Then, he directly transferred 3,000 yuan to the other party.

"Brother Zhu, I borrowed it a few years ago. I borrowed 2,000 yuan and now I'm giving you 3,000 yuan. That should be good enough, right? But..."

Buddy suddenly changed the topic and looked at Chu Ning.
