Looking at Wang Zhi's extremely happy expression, a faint cold smile appeared on Wang Xiaoming's lips!

Before coming here again, Wang Xiaoming specifically found someone to thoroughly investigate this Wang Zhi...

He learned that this person named Wang Zhi was the kind of person who was very greedy!

After knowing this, Wang Xiaoming was very happy...

Because he knew that the greedier a person is, the easier they are to deal with!

Thinking this through, he looked at the elated Wang Zhi and said, "Village Chief Wang... you..."

Before he could finish, Wang Zhi spoke up directly!

"Chairman Wang, don't call me village chief, we both have the surname Wang, maybe we were family five hundred years ago, so I'll just say this, I'm a bit older than you, you can just call me Brother Wang!"

"Alright then! Brother Wang, and you don't have to call me Chairman Wang, that's too formal, just call me Xiaoming!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Agreeing happily, Wang Zhi said with a beaming smile, "Brother Xiaoming, I have a feeling, ah, that our collaboration this time will definitely be very successful because we really are a perfect match!"

"Yeah, Brother Wang, I'm even thinking of becoming sworn brothers with you now!"

"Haha, once the cooperation is finalized, let's become sworn brothers and truly be brothers!"

"Deal!"

The people following Wang Xiaoming heard their conversation but didn't say anything!

They all knew that Wang Xiaoming and Wang Zhi were obviously just putting on an act!

Really!

Right now, they're all buddy-buddy, but once something goes wrong, they'll turn against each other in an instant.

...

Five minutes later, they arrived at the spring by the back mountain!

Hearing the sound of flowing water, Wang Xiaoming and the others were thoroughly excited!

Previously, they had carefully assessed the water route over at Xiaohe Village...

Knowing that the spring water's veins from Xiaohe Village flowed from this side, they had come to Shore Village!

However, they weren't completely sure if they had guessed correctly before!

Now, they were certain that they had guessed it right...

Feeling Wang Xiaoming's excitement, Wang Zhi smiled and said, "Xiaoming, how is it? Are you satisfied with this place?"

Glancing at Wang Zhi, Wang Xiaoming said flatly, "Not bad! By the way, Brother Wang, do you usually use this water in your village?"

Wang Zhi shook his head and said, "No, this spring water flows through underground tunnels directly to the downstream Xiaohe Village, we can't use it even if we wanted to!"

Previously, after knowing there was good spring water here, Wang Zhi had considered channeling it to the village!

But after some attempts, he gave up!

Because the surrounding area is all hard mountain rock, it's very difficult to construct waterways...

"Is that so!"

"Yes! The water our village uses now is underground! It's really not the same as this side."

"Okay! Then let's properly discuss the matter of building the factory! Brother Wang, let's make it clear first, once we build the factory here, we will develop this spring water appropriately, and by then, we can't supply any of it to your village, because we need to package it for sale. I trust you have no objections to this!"

"This..."

When Wang Zhi heard this, his eyelids jumped sharply!

Everyone hopes to drink some good water, and naturally, Wang Zhi hopes so too!

For this reason, Wang Zhi hoped that after the water factory is built here, the best spring water could be channeled to the village, at the very least, to his own home.

But now it seems this plan seems unrealistic!

"What? Brother Wang, do you disagree? If so, then there's no point in talking, let's go check out other places!"

"I agree, I agree, how could I not agree! Honestly, everything you said is reasonable! Since you're building a factory here, all this water is yours! We definitely won't touch it anymore!"

"Since you agree, let's go prepare to sign the contract now! By the way, this water belonged to your village before, do you want to bring a few village representatives when signing the contract later?"

"Not necessary! In Shore Village, I am the absolute authority, so everything is up to me!"

He knew that if he brought in a few villagers, things might get complicated, so he outright refused without hesitation!

Listening to Wang Zhi's words, Wang Xiaoming nodded lightly!

He really didn't care who he signed the contract with, his only thought now was to get his hands on this spring water as soon as possible, so that he could not only establish a water factory but also make Hu Xiaobei and Ling Yun suffer...

...

While Wang Zhi was preparing the contract, those few who hadn't spoken all along quickly gathered around Wang Xiaoming!

After this, they all spoke together...

"Brother Wang, is it okay to directly sign the contract with Wang Zhi? This spring belongs to everyone in Shore Village, shouldn't we notify them?"

"Exactly, Brother Wang!"

"I think so too!"

They were worried about potential issues in the future, so they quickly spoke up to remind him!

Hearing their reminder, Wang Xiaoming squinted his eyes!

Soon, he said softly, "Of course I know this spring belongs to the entire village, but what does that have to do with us? We sign the contract with Wang Zhi, he's responsible for everything, any issues that arise will be handled by him!"

"This..."

They thought about it carefully and realized it made sense!

They didn't need to worry too much, as everything would be Wang Zhi's responsibility...

...

As they were talking like this, Hu Xiaobei and Han Xueyao were together strolling on Han Jiayan's school playground...

Earlier, Han Jiayan went to make preparations, and since they had nothing to do, they decided to have a good look around this place!

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei asked with interest, "Auntie, do you think that if I had studied hard back then, I'd be a qualified intellectual now?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's inquiry, while looking around, Han Xueyao's lips curved slightly...

In the next second, she teased softly, "You? When you were young, all you knew was to catch fish in the river and birds in the trees, so it's impossible for you to become an intellectual!"

"Auntie, you saying that... it's really embarrassing for me!"

"Haha, but Auntie is telling the truth! You were really naughty when you were little!"

"Yes! I know you're telling the truth!"

Rubbing his nose, Hu Xiaobei looked somewhat helplessly at the distant teaching building!

Hu Xiaobei knew that these brand-new teaching buildings were donated by him before...

No matter how poor, don't let education be poor; no matter how hard, don't make children suffer!

Hu Xiaobei understood the importance of education, so he was really generous in donating to schools!

For this reason, he had donated to many schools nearby!

So, almost all schools here had new teaching buildings!

"Alright, Xiaobei, Auntie was just speaking casually, don't be mad, let's keep strolling around!"

"Sure!"

Agreeing, Hu Xiaobei continued strolling around with her...

Half an hour later, they heard Han Jiayan calling out to them!

Approaching Han Jiayan, they heard her slightly exasperated voice complaining quietly...

"Why are you still wandering around here? The sports event is about to start!"

"Really? Then let's hurry over!"

"Yeah! By the way, Brother Xiaobei, I signed you up for a few events earlier, make sure to perform well later!"

"Signed up for events? And quite a few?"

Hu Xiaobei was slightly taken aback, looking at Han Jiayan in surprise...
