He told Gu Wan to wait a moment. Gu Wan was also curious about what happened and thought that since she was already here, it wouldn't matter if she told her later.

The two of them walked out of the office together and saw many aunts standing in the lobby of the brigade headquarters. Gu Wan didn't recognize most of them.

However, when those people saw Fang Haisheng, their eyes lit up and they said:

"Hey, Secretary, you are here. It just so happens that we have something to talk to you about."

"Yes, we want to exchange our work points for those fish. It doesn't matter if the work points are low. Please give them to us!"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

"And I!"

When Gu Wan heard that so many people came to exchange fish, she immediately thought of Liu Qingcheng.

Fang Haisheng didn't expect that after he just told Gu Wan not to worry, so many people would come to exchange work points for fish.

He frowned and glanced at Gu Wan, and saw that Gu Wan looked anxious.

Gu Wan was indeed very anxious. If all these aunts exchanged the fish and sold them to Liu Qingcheng, the market share that the village could sell would be even smaller.

Moreover, by that time, since there will already be smoked fish on the market, the price will definitely be suppressed if we sell it.

Gu Wan didn't care that everyone was here, and hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, tugged at Fang Haisheng's clothes, and gave him an anxious look.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I was here first. Otherwise, I would have let the branch secretary handle my affairs first. My affairs will be handled quickly!"

When Fang Haisheng heard what Gu Wan said, he immediately reacted and agreed:

"Yes, Gu Zhiqing came first. I can't handle so many of you coming at once. Why don't you find someone to call the team leader and the village accountant over first? It's just right. I will deal with Gu Zhiqing's matter first."

The others thought about it and it seemed to be true. The accountant was in charge of the village's account books. Even if they wanted to change it, it would be useless to find Fang Haisheng.

It would be better to call the team leader and the accountant over first.

Then the rest of the people scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only a few people sitting at the door waiting.

Fang Haisheng then went into the office with Gu Wan, but they did not close the door. Instead, one of them sat and the other stood.

To outsiders, it seemed like she was reporting on her work, but in fact, Gu Wan lowered her voice and said:

"Secretary, we can't give this fish away. If we give it away, the rest of the fish will be gone!"

"What's going on? Gu Zhiqing, please explain clearly. What's going on?"

Gu Wan glanced outside and saw that no one was paying attention, so she quickly told the story of Liu Qingcheng selling fish on the black market.

Then he continued, "I guess we can't sell it in town, but the whole town can only consume a few hundred kilograms, and the county probably can't consume much either."

“I guess they sold out yesterday and came again today. It must be because the fish sold well that they wanted to continue buying fish from the villagers.

But even a county can’t consume thousands of kilograms of fish in a short period of time! And they’ve already sold them, so if we go to sell them again, they won’t be rare, and we’ll definitely be forced to lower the price.”

Fang Haisheng didn't expect such a thing to happen. No wonder the villagers who didn't want fish before now swarmed to ask for fish!

This is really outrageous!

"What should we do now? We certainly can't refuse them fish!"

The fish has been almost smoked and the documents have been approved. We can just send it directly to the supply and marketing cooperative and the state-owned restaurant.

But these two places can't handle so much, the bulk of the money still has to come from the black market and the caravan.

They thought that if there were people who knew the value of the fish, those people who traveled far and wide might take more fish away and sell them in other cities!

Now that Liu Qingcheng has done this, they have to sell the fish two days earlier. Besides, they specialize in this, so there is definitely nothing they can do in the town, and they will probably go to the county as well.

They only take a little, so what should the villagers who are waiting to share the money during the New Year do with the rest?

“My suggestion is to hold a meeting and explain this matter to everyone. If Liu Qingcheng wants to collect the fish, then he should collect the fish from all the villagers. If not, then he should not collect any fish from anyone.

They are clearly engaging in speculation and profiteering, and are undermining our collective interests!

The Party Secretary might as well hand this issue over to the villagers whose interests will be harmed. They will definitely not be willing to do so.

Besides, it’s better to make it clear now than to have the fish not sellable later and have everyone blame us for being strong, don’t you think?”

Fang Haisheng thought about it for a moment and felt that what Gu Wan said was right, but he could not make the decision alone on this matter. He needed to discuss it with several other cadres before making a decision.

After Gu Wan told the story, she and the branch secretary waited for them to call the team leader and the accountant over.

After the accountant and the team leader came over, the branch secretary pulled the team leader and the accountant into the office and closed the door. No one knew what they were talking about.

Someone did ask Gu Wan if she knew what they were talking about, but Gu Wan just gave a perfunctory answer.

At this moment, a loud bang was heard in the house, and the people outside dared not make any more loud noises.

I could only lower my voice and quietly guess what was happening in the house.

At this moment, inside the room, Lin Jianguo slapped the table, his eyes widened and glared, his chest heaving violently.

"We are from the same village. It's ok for you to engage in speculation, but you are actually trying to steal people from our village.

If we hadn't discovered this earlier, and we gave away these fish today, what would we do with the remaining 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms? Would they rot in our hands? How would we explain this to the villagers who trusted us?

How will the villagers celebrate the New Year? "

It’s no wonder that Lin Jianguo was so angry. He did this out of consideration for the villagers. He wanted everyone to have a good New Year and have some money in their pockets.

Otherwise, after working so hard for a whole year, there is still no food and no money. How can you celebrate the New Year?

It took a lot of effort for Gu Wan to come up with this idea, and everyone was happily busy for two or three days, digging the soil, building a stove, and keeping watch all night.

As a result, everything was prepared for the girl from the Liu family. They all felt uncomfortable, especially since that person was from their own village.

If he wasn’t from my village, I would have reported it long ago!

"I think we should follow Gu Zhiqing's way. If we don't give them fish, it won't work. But why should they make money from everyone's efforts while the rest of us have to lose money? It doesn't make sense!"

Accountant Wang spoke!

His words were echoed by the other two people.

"Since there is no problem, let's hold a meeting to inform everyone. What the Liu family's daughter did was not fair. Fortunately, it was discovered early. Otherwise, when the fish cannot be sold, we will all be held responsible."
