The longed-for village system

Chapter 418 Chen Qing's True Concerns

"Peng Peng once said, 'The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.' This is especially true when an individual or a small group threatens the interests of a large group. Therefore, sometimes appropriate concealment and keeping a low profile are also a way to protect oneself and those around you."

Chen Qing knew what Peng Peng was asking and responded with a smile.

He used to be able to use excuses like helping the villagers to brush people off, but now that excuse is obviously no longer valid. To avoid future trouble, he must come up with a better excuse, and this one is the most reasonable one among all the ones he has thought of.

"Huh? What did you say, Brother Chen? I don't quite understand!" Peng Peng looked at Chen Qing with a question mark on his face.

"They dare! They're trying to defy the heavens!"

Just because Peng Peng and his sister didn't understand doesn't mean Teacher Huang didn't understand. Hearing Chen Qing's words, he instantly exploded. It goes without saying how important Chen Qing is.

"There's nothing they wouldn't dare to do. When the profit is fifty percent, people will take risks to accomplish it. When the profit reaches one hundred percent, they will do anything, even break the law. When the profit is two hundred percent, nothing can stop them. The reason they are still being polite now is because I haven't shaken their interests yet."

"As the saying goes, even brothers should keep clear accounts, let alone an outsider like me. If it doesn't affect their interests, they don't care if I'm here or not. But once it does, believe me, all sorts of temptations and threats will follow."

Hearing Chen Qing's words, Huang Sanshi fell silent. He wasn't a naive three-year-old; having spent most of his life in this complex society, he had seen his share of storms. Chen Qing's words weren't unfounded; they were a real possibility, and the likelihood of it happening was extremely high.

Perhaps that's why he went into seclusion in Manyuan Village after seeing all this! As expected of a prodigy, he can think so far ahead; I never even thought of this.

"Although I don't want to admit the evil in humanity, Xiao Chen, you're right." Huang Sanshi remained silent for a long time before continuing, "So, Xiao Chen, what are your plans for the future? How about contacting your superiors to send someone to protect you?"

Huang Sanshi believed that the higher-ups were well aware of Chen Qing's importance, and that as long as Chen Qing brought it up, they would definitely send people over to protect him.

"Not for now. Like I said, I haven't touched their cake yet. Those people are still very polite to me. As for the future, we'll talk about that later. If that day really comes, I might have already thought of other ways."

If the basic gene repair fluid is that powerful, what if he draws an intermediate or advanced one, or even a cultivation manual, then those people will pose no threat to him. He will be fully capable of protecting the people around him.

"Okay, Xiao Chen, I believe your plan will be fine. If you need anything in the future, feel free to call me. But please be careful," Huang Sanshi reminded him.

Chen Qing simply smiled and nodded in gratitude for Huang Sanshi's concern.

The next day, Huang Sanshi, Peng Peng, and their sister left the Mushroom House to work in different cities. Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu's lives returned to normal, simple and warm, and time passed by unknowingly, with the New Year approaching.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Gu, come to my house for lunch tomorrow!"

"Congratulations, Uncle Zhao! Xiao Gu and I will definitely be there for the wedding tomorrow."

"Okay, you two should come over soon! Uncle Zhao is hoping you two can help him make a name for himself."

Uncle Zhao beamed with joy. His son had really made something of himself this time. His bride was a girl from a big city, and her family owned a large factory. Marrying such a wife was something they had never dared to dream of before. Of course, he also knew that all of this was related to Chen Qing. If Manyuan Village were still like before, they definitely wouldn't have been able to find a daughter-in-law. But now their village had become the envy of the whole country, and matchmakers had been coming up to introduce girls non-stop lately, and each girl they introduced was more beautiful than the last.

Especially those few who grew up playing with Chen Qing, the women introduced to him were all outstanding in terms of family background and appearance. If you didn't know better, you would think it was the Crown Prince choosing a consort!
The next day, after breakfast, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu tidied up briefly and went to Uncle Zhao's new house at the entrance of the village. At this time, many villagers had already come to help, and they greeted Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu with smiles.

"Brother Chen, Goddess Xiao Gu."

"Hello, Brother Chen!"

The younger group greeted Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu, but they became much more reserved around Chen Qing, having already placed him on a higher level in their hearts.

Chen Qing knew what these young people were thinking, so after a brief greeting, he went to find Uncle Zhao.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Gu, you've arrived! I'm so sorry I haven't been able to entertain you properly!" Uncle Zhao felt very proud to see Chen Qing and Zhao Xiao Gu arrive so early.

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, congratulations! This is just a small token of our appreciation."

"Alright, you two are fine, why did you have to give a red envelope? That's too much trouble."

Aunt Zhao was also very happy at this moment. It was worth it for her and her husband to give Chen Qing so much pocket money. This investment was really worthwhile.

The wedding emcee was delighted to see Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu arrive. He greatly admired Chen Qing's musical compositions and thought that having Chen Qing sing on his stage would be a great help to his future hosting and promotion.

Without hesitation, he went directly to Uncle Zhao and suggested that he invite Chen Qing. He knew his own limitations and couldn't possibly get Chen Qing to perform on stage. The only possibility was for the groom's parents to step in. As Chen Qing's elders, they would likely agree to make such a request.

As expected, Chen Qing readily agreed. Soon, the wedding procession arrived, and relatives and friends began to take their seats to prepare for the ceremony. Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu were invited to the head table.

The table was occupied by the groom's uncle, grandfather, and other elders from the village. Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu, two young people, stood out somewhat, especially since Zhao Xiaogu was so beautiful. However, no one present thought they were unworthy.

The transformation of Manyuan Village to its present state is all thanks to one person. Without Chen Qing, the village would not be as prosperous as it is today. Therefore, no matter how young Chen Qing is, he is qualified to sit at the chairman's table.

After everyone was seated, the emcee went on stage to begin the wedding ceremony. After the bride and groom exchanged rings, the emcee started singing and distributing gifts.

"Hey Chen, how about you sing a song? We all want to hear you sing."

Before the host could even speak, a group of young people below couldn't contain themselves. What was so great about the host singing? These gifts were only attractive to the children. They still wanted to hear Chen Qing sing, preferably a new song.

The bride and groom looked at Chen Qing with anticipation. They had been overjoyed to learn yesterday that Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu were coming back for their wedding, and this was one of the scenes they had been hoping for.
