Chapter 705: Uncle Qin Really Has Grown Old

In their eyes, the name Lin Chuxia is synonymous with wealth. With Lin Chuxia around, how could they possibly lose money?

Even if they do end up losing money, Sun Guodong believes that with Lin Chuxia’s character, she would find them a way to earn profits in other areas.

After he finished speaking, he looked up to see the village chief’s solemn gaze. What kind of gaze is that?

At that moment, Sun Guodong understood. The village chief didn’t distrust Wang Cheng; he didn’t even trust Lin Chuxia.

As if to confirm his thoughts, the village chief said, "Don’t rely on others for everything. I only trust myself. Money is a good thing, and some people would even forsake their conscience for it. And you all still think about relying on others to get rich? It’s not that I don’t trust Lin Chuxia; it’s just that you’ve seen it too—she’s now in An City and can’t really take care of so many things. Let’s try not to trouble her too much."

Sun Guodong still wanted to say something, but the village chief waved his hand, "Think carefully about what I’ve said when you go back. See if it makes sense. If you’re not convinced, then try to sit in my position. Then you can do whatever you want. As long as I’m the village chief of Qin Family Village, I have to be responsible for the thousand villagers here. The village affairs will be decided by me."

After Village Chief Qin finished speaking, he no longer looked at the two, and walked out of the brigade office with his hands behind his back.

Sun Guodong frowned deeper, and Qin Ming didn’t know whose side to take.

In the end, Qin Ming pulled Sun Guodong down and sat him down, speaking dryly, "Uncle Qin is right, considering his position, he always has to think about all the villagers."

"And just because he thinks about all the villagers doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about all the villagers?"

Sun Guodong snapped at Qin Ming, leaving no word unsaid.

Don’t use thinking for all the villagers as an excuse, as if all the good people are them, while others are selfish?

Think about how Qin Family Village’s vegetable greenhouses came to be, and how they became an advanced model in Ancheng County.

Even if following Lin Chuxia leads to something unexpected and the money is all lost, the old villagers’ greenhouses are physically there, as are the greenhouse techniques.

If one has a conscience, they wouldn’t end up blaming Lin Chuxia for a bit of loss.

But before anything is done, they’re already being defensive.

Clearly, Qin Ming also thought about this.

"Uncle Qin really is getting old. Should we go talk to the secretary?"

"Forget it. The old secretary hasn’t been involved for years. The car is brought back now; what’s the point of going to him? Be careful your uncle doesn’t find out and resent you too, calling you ungrateful."

Qin Ming shrank his neck; this is indeed possible.

Sun Guodong sighed again, "Do you think Qin Family Village can rise higher?"

Qin Ming knew what he was hinting at and simply said, "The way things are now is quite good. One must be content. Although Uncle Qin’s words weren’t entirely correct, there’s one thing we have to admit: we always have to rely on ourselves. Mr. Lin has already brought us to this height; we can’t expect her to keep pulling us along. This is actually pretty good. As long as we maintain our current endeavors, continuing to be the number one in Ancheng County should not be a problem."

"Are you satisfied?" Sun Guodong asked again.

Qin Ming paused and then smiled, "What else can we do if we’re not satisfied? I know my own abilities, and I’m content with the current state."

If we evaluate based on our abilities, it’s indeed time to be content.

But with such a wide available path ahead, who can truly be content?

They’ve already glimpsed more beautiful sights. How many would be willing to just stay in place?

Besides...

Sun Guodong and Qin Ming exchanged glances, seeing unspoken helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Village Chief Qin merely said Qin Jiang had abandoned Qin Family Village, expressing dissatisfaction over Qin Jiang resigning as the director of the chicken farm, even feeling that Qin Jiang is ungrateful.

But he doesn’t consider why when the chicken farm was established, among so many villagers, Qin Jiang was specifically chosen as the manager of the chicken farm?

Isn’t it because he’s Qin Yang’s cousin?

They thought Mr. Lin would definitely not let their chicken farm go to waste given Qin Yang’s cousin’s relationship.

At that time, Qin Jiang wasn’t even a director; he was given the title of deputy director.

It sounds nice to be a deputy director, but in reality, besides doing his job for a salary, all decisions were made by the village.

When selecting Qin Jiang as the manager of the chicken farm, the village chief had an agenda, aiming for the benefits that came with his status. How could he now have the audacity to call Qin Jiang ungrateful?

And, let’s talk about why Qin Jiang left the chicken farm of Qin Family Village.

How much profit does a chicken farm generate in a year? Who doesn’t know?

Even the management at Xiyang’s own chicken farm operates on a bonus-sharing model.

Sun Guodong works at the wholesale market daily, frequently interacting with Wang Cheng’s group, and had many interactions with Sun Bingnan during this year’s autumn harvest because of the yellow peach issue.

How many managers working under Lin Chuxia are only earning a salary? Who doesn’t have shares or a bonus? Even those earning only a salary are paid several times more than ordinary workers.

And what about Qin Jiang?

Since the village established the chicken farm, Qin Jiang was put in charge, handling everything himself, managing the chicken farm in an orderly manner. The scale doubled, and in the end, he only earned an additional 10 yuan per month.

To be blunt, a group leader at the Xiyang Food Factory earns more than Qin Jiang does as the director of the Qin Family Village chicken farm.

The chicken farm in Qin Family Village generates a substantial profit for the village; doesn’t the director have any idea?

They even reminded the village chief about whether to increase the treatment for the managers of the chicken and pig farms.

It was the village chief comparing his salary with these directors to shut down their suggestion.

The village chief himself earns a monthly salary of 28 yuan, which indeed is convincing, leaving them unable to speak further.

But is this really correct?

Really thinking about letting Village Chief Qin resign and give way, Sun Guodong and Qin Ming know it’s impossible.

Qin Family Village developed from nothing to its current status, became advanced in Ancheng County, and even established vegetable greenhouses as national models, all under Qin Shusen’s leadership as village chief.

In the eyes of outsiders, it’s thanks to Qin Shusen’s leadership that Qin Family Village has reached where it is today.

Qin Shusen has been named an outstanding village cadre by Ancheng County for three consecutive years.

They all know, as long as there’s no unforeseen event, unless Qin Shusen himself speaks of retiring, the position of village chief for Qin Family Village will be his.

...............

Bringing back the car today marks the completion of the mission; the follow-up tasks will be handled gradually.

Lin Chuxia had Wang Tianyu arrange a restaurant. At noon, she hosted a meal inviting Wang Cheng and the drivers who accompanied them in buying the car.

Of course, not a single one of those prospective drivers was left out.

The few young men, upon hearing that Mr. Lin was inviting them for a meal, were excited yet restrained, even though they were older than Qin Jianshe, they gathered around him, waiting for Qin Jianshe to boost their courage.

Who doesn’t know that Qin Jianshe is Mr. Lin’s nephew?
