211 Swapping Identities
“Yes, President Chu. I’ve drafted some preliminary agreements regarding the Qinghe village collaboration last night. Some things are better off relying on contracts. I have an idea. I think we can hire some residents of Qinghe village to be our first batch of employees. This will solve their employment problems and, to a certain extent, greatly reduce our production costs. More importantly, this way, we can better control the quality of our products from the source.”
Zhang Bo explained his plan to Chu Ning while driving. He was not an ordinary person since he had a double master’s degree from a top university. Not only did Zhang Bo have a clear development plan, but he was also well-versed in the law and corporate legal contracts. As long as he was around, Chu Ning would not be in an unfavorable position.
Chu Ning simply gazed at the passing scenery outside the window as though she had not heard Zhang Bo’s words.
“President Chu?” Zhang Bo raised his voice again.
“I heard it. Not bad, you helped me work out some specific details. I’ve already discussed these suggestions with Village Chief Wen of Qinghe village yesterday and he’s very satisfied with the conditions. We’re going there today to discuss the details of the collaboration with the residents of Qinghe village.” Chu Ning said indifferently.
Chu Ning’s words once again refreshed Zhang Bo’s understanding of her.
Zhang Bo had not expected Chu Ning to have already discussed the collaboration with the person in charge of Qinghe village the previous day. Thinking of this, Zhang Bo’s palms that were holding the steering wheel started to sweat.
If his answer the day before had not matched Chu Ning’s logic, he would not have been hired.
Everything was just right. She had met the right person at the right time.
After Chu Ning returned that night, Village Chief Wen An had held an emergency meeting. Almost every family in Qinghe village had sent a representative to sit in on the meeting.
When these residents learned that someone was investing in the land and hiring them for the long term, they were naturally overjoyed. But then some raised doubts. After all, they were really poor and afraid that this was a trap.
“I understand everyone’s concerns, but no matter how difficult it is, there must be a starting point. Tomorrow, this investor will come to explain it to everyone. The decision regarding collaboration is in your hands.” Wen An patiently informed the crowd.
“Chief, we’ll listen to you. Ever since you came, our living standards have improved a lot.”
“Yes, Village Chief Wen. Let us know once you’ve made your decision. We’ll definitely do as you say.”
Murmuring could be heard as many of the Qinghe villagers expressed their opinions. However, almost all of them had complete trust in Wen An.
The next morning, before Chu Ning had reached the village entrance, she saw a group of people holding banners and waiting at the village entrance. They appeared to be waiting for her.
Zhang Bo found a vacant spot on the cement ground. After parking the car, he walked to the village entrance with Chu Ning.
However, before the two of them could get close, a zealous villager walked over from afar. Chu Ning looked shocked as the ardent villager grabbed Zhang Bo’s hand and appeared to be very enthusiastic.
“You must be the President Chu that the village chief was talking about, right? We’ve been waiting here since six in the morning. You’re finally here to have a chat.”
Just as Zhang Bo was about to explain, he saw Chu Ning’s look, indicating for him not to say anything for the time being. Zhang Bo was an intelligent person. In just a few seconds, he had thought of many possibilities.
So, surrounded by these residents, they walked to the village council. Zhang Bo neither agreed nor denied it. As for the real President Chu, she was like an assistant, following behind Zhang Bo.
In fact, this kind of identity swap made more sense. After all, it was hard to imagine that a young lady under the age of 20 could possess such great determination and boldness.
The reason Wen An did not welcome Chu Ning at the village entrance with the rest of the residents was not because he did not value her, but because he had more important things to do.
The night before, Wen An had stayed up all night to sort out the agriculture and breeding industry that Qinghe village was currently suited for. At the same time, he had to take note of some matters and the specific allocation of personnel. He believed that this was also information that was imperative for Chu Ning.
Fresh handwriting was printed on the snow-white papers. He bound them up to be delivered to Chu Ning shortly.
However, just as Wen An was seated in the meeting room, waiting expectantly for Chu Ning to arrive with the villagers of Qinghe village welcoming her, he was confused by the scene before him.
