"Village Chief Li, as I’ve said before, the Gu Family isn’t trustworthy, but Yang Zi is genuinely sincere with the villagers, so just feel at ease cooperating with him. I and the daughters-in-law who married out from our village can all vouch for this with confidence!"

Listening to Chen Xiuzhi’s complaint, Wang Hong felt a sense of pride.

This time coming back home, she also brought benefits to her family’s village, so she felt naturally proud.

"Yes, yes, I understand that. I’ve heard quite a bit about the development of your Liuhe Village." Li Sihai nodded with a smile, agreeing with Wang Hong’s statement.

"Village Chief Li, since the Gu Family has left, what are your plans next?"

Not dwelling too much on the Gu Family, after Chen Yang listened to the situation, he paused for a moment, and then looked up to ask Li Sihai about his next steps.

Though the Gu Family has temporarily left, they will surely come back in the future. There are still many things to be done if both parties want to cooperate.

This isn’t a small trade of personal items; legal procedures are required to proceed with development. Otherwise, they could simply make private deals.

"Hmm... I plan to hold a mobilization meeting in the village today. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll bring the collective resolution of the village to the town to handle the legal procedures tomorrow. Once we get the town’s approval, I can sign the contract with you, and this matter will be set." Li Sihai replied confidently after a little thought.

Having served as the village chief for many years, Li Sihai is well-versed in the procedures regarding the village’s properties.

"Alright, then I’ll trouble you, Village Chief Li. We’ll proceed under the terms we’ve agreed upon when the time comes." Chen Yang smiled kindly and said.

"It’s no trouble at all. In fact, when you think about it, I should be the one thanking you properly for this matter." Li Sihai quickly added.

He wasn’t just flattering Chen Yang or being polite; he genuinely felt grateful to Chen Yang.

Thanks to Chen Yang’s presence, the village has better choices for its future, and it can develop more effectively.

The credit for Fuling Village’s development will inevitably be attributed to him as the village chief, so he is immensely grateful to Chen Yang.

Moreover, not to mention, Chen Yang cured his daughter’s illness.

"Haha, Divine Doctor Chen, our family truly owes you a big thank you. It’s getting late; why don’t both you and Wang Hong have lunch at our place? I’ll go and prepare a chicken." Chen Xiuzhi, equally grateful, noticed the time and invited Chen Yang and Wang Hong to stay for a meal.

Chen Yang initially didn’t plan to stay, but given Li Sihai and Chen Xiuzhi’s hospitality, he couldn’t refuse and decided to eat with them.

However, this was indeed beneficial, as during the meal, Chen Yang had the chance to talk in-depth with Li Sihai about the coal mine and his daughter’s illness.

Earlier, although Chen Yang had treated Li Xuemei, complete recovery after so many years would still require some time for nurturing and rehabilitation.

Chen Yang provided Li Sihai with several plans, guiding him on exercises and medication as outlined.

He guaranteed that within a month, Li Xuemei would function like a regular person.

Li Sihai was immensely grateful to Chen Yang after hearing this.

Chen Yang, as usual, maintained a polite demeanor without lingering on the topic.

...

After lunch, the discussion between them was almost done.

With everything clearly communicated, Chen Yang didn’t stay long at Li Sihai’s home, briefly exchanged a few more words, and then left with Wang Hong.

"Yang Zi, we’ve finally secured the village’s coal mine, I’m so happy."

On the way back, Wang Hong was ecstatic, her smile almost reaching her ears.

She felt proud and delighted, having done such a great deed for Fuling Village.

"Yes, indeed. Talking about this, I really should thank you and Aunt Zhang and the others. Without you, I doubt I could’ve secured this coal mine no matter what I said." Chen Yang glanced at Wang Hong with a smile.

Initially full of pride and delight, Wang Hong became modest and shy at Chen Yang’s compliment.

"Oh, Yang Zi, you’re being too modest. Your skills—does Auntie not know them? We just played a supportive role. Even without us, you surely would’ve figured out a way, so we’re just the cherry on top." Wang Hong laughed and said.

"That’s not true. Without the support of you and Aunt Zhang’s connections from the home village, I wouldn’t have made any progress. Aunt, don’t be modest; once this is all settled, I’ll make sure to give each of you a big red envelope as thanks," Chen Yang replied with a smile.

"Oh, you’re just being humble. How significant could our efforts be?"

"Really, Aunt, it’s actually you who are being modest."

...

Chen Yang and Wang Hong left Li Sihai’s home chatting and laughing.

With nothing else left to do, Chen Yang soon drove away from Fuling Village.

He took another road out of the village heading toward the county.

In the county, he found Wang Jingman to discuss the situation of Fuling Village, funding for subsequent cooperation, and contract terms.

The cooperation with Fuling Village is indeed a large project.

To fully secure it, no step can be taken lightly.

Any misstep could risk losing everything.

Even though they have grassroots connections, one must not underestimate the influence of the Gu Family.

After all, they are a substantial corporation from the provincial capital, with undeniable power.

"Chen Yang, I really don’t have much of a problem on my end. The main concern now is the hurdle at the township office, which might be a bit complex and uncertain."

After some discussion, Wang Jingman suddenly lifted her head, saying this to Chen Yang.

In fact, Chen Yang was also somewhat worried about the township office.

Since the township office is the final checkpoint, if it refuses approval, everything else stands trivial.

Regarding this, although Chen Yang entrusted Wu Kexin to help with communication, two days have passed with no feedback yet.

"I’ve contacted someone to communicate about this; it just takes time to get a reply. I will make a call later to ask about it." Chen Yang thought for a moment and said.

"Alright, waiting for your good news."

Wang Jingman nodded in agreement.

"Yes, although I don’t have a definite answer yet, you should still communicate with your dad and be ready to sign anytime; Village Chief Li has already promised me that the work will commence today. If all goes well, the village assembly decision will be out tomorrow." Chen Yang said seriously to Wang Jingman.

"Yes, I understand. My dad is also prepared for this, just waiting for your update." Wang Jingman nodded again, indicating that they’ve readied everything for signing the contract and cooperation.

"Let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll follow up on the township office situation this afternoon and get back to you later with a response."

"Okay."

After discussing for a while and addressing most issues, Chen Yang didn’t stay longer at Wang Jingman’s place and left promptly.

He needed to urgently head back to handle other matters.

Unsurprisingly, the village’s waterway project was expected to finish that afternoon, and he had to be there for its acceptance.
