Chapter 2140: Chapter 1829: President Chen’s Unhappiness

President Chen couldn’t finish watching the video after all.

He tossed and turned late at night, and the next day he boarded a plane with a suitcase full of resentment.

When his plane landed, followed by the high-speed train transfer, he barely got out of Yun City High-speed Railway Station before a torrential downpour nearly soaked him.

Vice President Chen was really feeling emo!

In the sweltering weather, this heavy rain didn’t cool things down; it felt more like the steam rising in a pot. His body felt sticky and humid, with sweat still pouring out in layers...

He wiped his face and retreated back into the station.

Complaining about how the small town’s high-speed railway station didn’t have an underground parking lot to board a car directly.

Fortunately, Secretary Xiaozu was genuinely sincere. After a series of phone calls and apologies, saying the meeting ran late, he soon arrived in front of him driving a car.

President Chen wasn’t in the best mood, but since it involved business and official cooperation, he didn’t show it much. He just sat inside the car, scrutinizing it—

A car roughly priced at 100,000 for this young village secretary? The car they promised to provide him in the village...

He hesitated internally and inquired at that moment, "This car drives nicely, quite cost-efficient, huh!"

Secretary Xiaozu laughed, "Bought it when I came to work here. Got lucky, came across one for resale just half a year after purchase, spent only 60,000 on it."

Vice President Chen felt even more disheartened.

He said no more, pretended to be weary from traveling, and closed his eyes to rest.

Secretary Xiaozu was unconcerned and continued diligently as a driver—

If Yunqiao Village really needed investment, forget about being a driver. Getting drunk at the banquet and offering full discounts might still come down to whether others are interested!

As evening approached, the rain intensified, the surrounding mountains fell into a dreary haze, and outside the windows was only the sound of rain and unending mountain roads.

Vice President Chen opened his eyes, and right before him was the car climbing on a spiraling uphill road, instantly putting him on edge:

Is this car going to make it or not?!

Unable to discern any scenery due to the gloom outside, he slightly regretted being rushed here by Chairman Yang.

Just as he was about to ask his colleagues for updates, his phone flickered and Chairman Yang sent a new message:

"President Chen, it’s tough at Yunqiao Village. If there’s a chance to buy products from Lao Song’s family, no matter the price, buy as much as possible, please help me purchase."

Sigh! Chairman Yang, mainly because Xiaoyang and Qiaoqiao are good friends, anything nice gets sent to them first, leaving him embarrassed to ask again.

Now he can only grab every opportunity.

Speaking of which, can that green pepper beef sauce still be purchased? Tonight nothing was asked for, just had the chef steam a pot of buns!

Warm and soft buns paired with green pepper sauce, even Ms. Liu ate three in one go!

Carbs happiness!

The green pepper beef sauce is already halved!

Hence, this message appeared.

Little did President Chen know: ...

His wife was obsessed with the broadcaster talking all about Qiao Bao, and his boss went to lengths to favor his son’s friend using cash power.

Only he was the most innocent, feeling like he was sent here as a favor, directly banished to this remote mountain village.

Thinking of this, he also felt some resentment, and then countered:

[Mosquito repellent cream, do you want some?]

Chairman Yang chuckled!

The repellent cream is actually hard currency!

This item, Xiaoyang has a box, truly useful.

While the child isn’t using it at home, he conveniently swiped it. When crawling around the farm fields and applied a bit, silence surrounded him!

During influential times, the project manager and other old executives beside him kept slapping their faces. He held a teacup, strolling through the cornfield, a demeanor of a mature man.

Therefore, without hesitation:

[Yes! If Lao Song’s family has a purchasing limit, buy up to the limit!]

After all, a real man fears no difficulties, but when mosquitoes provoke, it stirs a murderous intent, looking around, ready for mutual destruction.

The cultivation of adult men, ah.

Chairman Yang sighed silently—still reliant on such a box of mosquito repellent cream.

Vice President Chen: ...This world is truly crazy.

He looked complexly ahead at Secretary Xiaozu, focused on driving, hesitated and asked:

"I heard there’s a star product here in Yunqiao Village, something called Ai Cao mosquito repellent cream?"

Knew it couldn’t be avoided!

Secretary Xiaozu always attentive, enthusiastically answered, "Not quite a star product repellent cream, but indeed very popular, a household essential. The border military district even placed a large order for this. President Chen, you have a good eye."

"Rest assured, I’ve booked the best accommodation in Yunqiao Village for us, both living experience and sanitary environment are excellent, along with the balanced, superb tasting meals from the mountain cafeteria. As for mosquito repellent cream, I’ve booked the hotel for over half a month, once you arrive, they’ll directly give you a box."

per box, she’s taken plenty for her grandparents, feeling a bit embarrassed to hoard more.

Now using hotel freebies to flaunt, clearly intending to subtly emphasize that accommodation standards are definitely high, sincerity intact.

But President Chen wasn’t aware of any of this.

From receiving the task to being en route, only a day passed, rushing to hand over his work tasks, how could he find time for such homework?

If it had to be done, doing so while planning across the hills wouldn’t be too late.

At the moment, he thought: both his wife specifically mentioned it, and Chairman Yang was this eager, dare say it’s not a star product? So modest it’s almost false.

Feeling a bit sulky internally, he continued closing his eyes to rest.

Secretary Xiaozu glanced in the rearview mirror, thinking, despite being such a tall guy, just a few hours on a plane wore him out like this, indeed city dwellers’ constitution is weak...

Must pay attention later, can’t let him run alone when going up and down the mountains. Or otherwise, speak well to Song Tan, see if they could assign a security guard to accompany him, letting him understand more?

Then thought about village planning.

Many famous scenic villages have local flower fields, starry camping sites, swings background for photos, gathering rural charm and aesthetics.

But all of these require money.

Yunqiao Village seems bustling, but that’s only been half a year, and the Village Department still resounds with poverty.

Haven’t you seen the big Village Department still relies on Lao Song’s family for sponsorship?

If too much is invested, then this money...

She suddenly felt conflicted again.

Though having someone supportive from the province behind, and city government here being very supportive, applying for funds wouldn’t necessarily fail.

But relying on people for every single matter, wouldn’t it mean she, as the village secretary, is practically freeloading?

Can’t just use big means for trivial matters.

Thinking this, couldn’t help feeling anxious again.
