The Greatest Village Chapter 998: Lake

Chapter 998: Chapter 998: Lake

In the yard, dozens of people were standing, and Li Yui was explaining sothing to everyone. Ling Feng hurriedly approached upon seeing this: "What’s going on?"

"These are people from nearby villages, they are all here to see you!"

Li Yui, seeing Ling Feng, suddenly seed to breathe a sigh of relief and quickly said.

Ling Feng was stunned and looked at the crowd in astonishnt: "What are you looking for

for?"

It was then that the people realized he was Ling Feng, so they suddenly crowded around him!

"We also want jobs!"

"I want to live in a new house!"

"I want to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables!"

"Uh...."

Ling Feng was speechless.

Turns out these people were all from the surrounding villages, seeing the developnt booming in Shiliu Village, they ca to seek his help!

Strictly speaking, Ling Feng shouldn’t need to deal with this personally at all; he wasn’t a village official or a township head, these other villages’ affairs really had nothing to do with him!

However, seeing everyone’s eager eyes, Ling Feng found it hard to refuse. He then turned to Li Yui: "Do we have any labor shortages in our greenhouses?"

"They are all fully automated, one person can manage a greenhouse, and there are enough people available during harvest, so there’s no way." Li Yui said with a forced smile.

"Boss Ling, please think of sothing, after all, we are fellow villagers, help us out!" soone said.

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng couldn’t bring himself to be hard-hearted, so he said: "Well, everyone, don’t worry. Ling Corporation has already planned to develop the surrounding villages and towns, but one cannot beco fat with one bite, everything has to proceed step by step!"

"When will that be then, after you get rich will you only care about what’s at your doorstep and ignore everyone else?" soone shouted.

Hearing this, Ling Feng was stunned, thinking to himself, what do I owe you?

However, those with such thoughts were in the minority. Most people were simple farrs just wanting to have a better life, so he didn’t say anything.

After that, Ling Feng stopped the incessant pleas from the crowd and loudly said: "Well then, I promise everyone, before spring begins next year, I will definitely provide a reasonable plan, by then everyone will have a good house to live in and a job!"

"That’s great, thank you, President Ling!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ling!"

Cheers erupted among the crowd.

Then, unexpectedly, many people took out ho-grown chicken eggs, millet, and other various groceries, and began stuffing them into Ling Feng’s hands!

There were dozens of people, Ling Feng couldn’t possibly accept all the offerings, so eventually, everyone just piled the items at the entrance of the village committee office.

Seeing this scene, Ling Feng felt a bit emotional; these were true sentints from everyone, and were worth much more than bright red bills!

So, watching the people disperse, he silently made a decision in his heart to discuss with Mo Jiaolan later and move forward with the developnt plans as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng noticed that the middle-aged man who arrived by car hadn’t left yet and was still standing not too far away.

Seeing Ling Feng look at him, the man quickly ca over, smiling apologetically: "President Ling, I am the village chief from the north, Xiao Chi Village, my na is Li Futian."

"Ah, Village Chief Li, is there anything else you needed?" asked Ling Feng.

Li Futian grinned: "Actually, I didn’t co to ask you to build houses or factories for us, I have a project I would like to collaborate with you on!"

"Oh? What project?"

Ling Feng asked curiously, puzzled.

"In Xiao Chi Village, we have a large pond, we want to develop fish farming there. We provide the location, and maybe President Ling could invest so funds or technology, then this project could take off!" Li Futian explained.

"A pond?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was taken aback and couldn’t help but say, thinking to himself, a village of at least dozens if not hundreds of households can’t even develop a pond?

"Mr. Ling, you might not know, originally, it was indeed a small pond, only a few acres in size, but for so reason, not too long ago, this pond suddenly collapsed, and it turned into a huge pond in a blink of an eye. We just got used to calling it that, now, it might even be considered a lake!" Li Futian explained.

"Oh?"

Ling Feng beca interested upon hearing this, a lake ford by sudden collapse?

Li Yui then said, "I’ve heard about this before too, people thought it was odd, but later so experts ca to examine and said it was due to an earthquake induced subsidence in the underground space, so it’s not that strange anymore, I didn’t ntion it to you."

"Oh, that’s what happened!"

Ling Feng laughed: "Those experts are just average, I don’t believe they truly understand the real reason, co on Village Chief Li, how about we go and take a look at this lake?"

"Great, let’s go, take my car!" Li Futian, overwheld with happiness, blurted out.

"No need, I’ll drive there myself, Village Chief Li, just lead the way in a bit!" Ling Feng said cheerfully.

On his way to get the car, Ling Feng looked at Yu Linglong: "I’m going to visit that village, are you coming?"

"Yeah!"

Yu Linglong nodded her head.

Ling Feng was sowhat surprised, not expecting her to take an interest in these minor matters, so he asked with a smile: "Want to see more of our local customs?"

"Sort of, it’s not like I have anything else to do!" Yu Linglong said.

Afterwards, the two of them got in the car and then drove back to the village committee office, where Li Futian, upon seeing them, imdiately drove ahead to lead the way, and the two cars left Shiliu Village.

Driving north along the highway, after passing through a mountainous area, the cars circled around a patch of forest, and then the scene suddenly opened up in front, presenting a huge azure lake before Ling Feng and Yu Linglong.

Seeing this, both were startled!

Such a clear and blue lake, appearing right here!

It was as if they were seeing the ocean from the Nine Heavens!

Looking at each other, Ling Feng and Yu Linglong simultaneously said: "Nice place!"

Lake and mountains, sparkling waves, this scene was really beautiful!

Village Chief Li had already stopped his car, Ling Feng also pulled over, parking by the lake.

After getting out of the car, he approached with a smile: "This is definitely not an ordinary pond anymore, it’s truly a big lake now!"

"Yes, President Ling might not know, this area used to be a vast barren mountain, nothing on the mountain but rotten stones, then overnight it turned into this. Many of the villagers woke up thinking they were dreaming!" Li Futian chuckled.

"Such a big change, and no noise at all?" Ling Feng asked.

"You’re telling !"

Li Futian smiled, then continued, "Later on, soone in the village made a raft, and a few brave young n went on it to see how big the lake was. It took them a whole day to row to the other side!"

Ling Feng’s eyes widened in astonishnt: "Goodness, such a huge scope, definitely can’t let it go to waste!"
