Don't worry, mother, I've brought the golden finger to change your fate

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan set out on the road to the county government with firm determination. They knew that this negotiation was related to the future of the Federation and they had to go all out. After arriving at the county government, they found that the landlord Zhang Fugui had been waiting there for a long time, with an arrogant look on his face, as if he had already made up his mind.

County Magistrate Lord Zhao sat in the middle of the hall, his eyes sparkling, as if he was observing the two visitors. Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan stepped forward to salute and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Zhao."

Lord Zhao nodded slightly, motioned for them to sit down, and then got straight to the point: "I heard that you had a dispute over land issues. Today, I will mediate the matter and hope to come to a fair solution."

Before Lin Ruowei could speak, Zhang Fugui spoke first, "Master Zhao, this piece of land was originally the ancestral property of my Zhang family. Miss Lin and her friends reclaimed it without permission, which is an infringement. I ask you to be discerning and return the land to me."

Lin Ruowei was not in a hurry and responded calmly: "Master Zhao, although this land once belonged to the Zhang family, it has long been reclaimed and used by the villagers after years of abandonment. All our improvements and construction are for the benefit of the villagers, and there is no intention of encroachment."

Mr. Zhao frowned in thought, obviously aware of the complexity of the problem. He turned to Gu Yan and asked, "Mr. Gu, what do you think about this matter?"

Gu Yan stood up and said respectfully: "Master Zhao, our Fenghe Federation has carried out a lot of construction and improvement on this land, making it a farmland for the villagers to survive. We are willing to cooperate with the Zhang family and jointly utilize this land to achieve a win-win situation for both parties."

Zhang Fugui sneered: "Cooperation? Why should my Zhang family's ancestral property cooperate with you?"

Lin Ruowei took a deep breath and said firmly: "Mr. Zhang, we don't want to fight with you. We hope to maximize the interests of both parties through cooperation. If the Zhang family is willing, we can jointly develop a cooperation plan to maximize the benefits of this land."

Lord Zhao pondered for a moment and turned to Zhang Fugui: "Zhang Fugui, this land has indeed been abandoned for many years. Is it inappropriate for you to ask for it back without making use of it? I think Miss Lin's proposal makes sense. Are you willing to consider it?"

Zhang Fugui looked unhappy, but he also knew that he shouldn't be too arrogant in front of the county magistrate. He reluctantly said, "If Mr. Zhao says so, then I will reluctantly agree to cooperate. However, I have conditions."

"Please speak." Lord Zhao motioned for him to continue.

Zhang Fugui sneered, "I demand that the leading power of the cooperation must be in the hands of my Zhang family, and the Federation must pay a certain amount of rent to my Zhang family every year."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other, and they had already made up their minds. Lin Ruowei said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, cooperation requires equality and respect between both parties. If you insist on the dominant power and rent, I am afraid we will find it difficult to accept. But we can guarantee that in the cooperation, the interests of both parties can be maximized. The specific details of the cooperation can be discussed and decided by both parties."

Lord Zhao nodded: "I think Miss Lin's proposal is reasonable. Zhang Fugui, cooperation requires sincerity from both sides. If you insist on unequal conditions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to proceed."

Zhang Fugui hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I agree to cooperate, but I require that the rights and interests of the Zhang family be clearly stated in the cooperation agreement."

Lin Ruowei smiled and said, "Of course, we also hope that the cooperation agreement can ensure the rights and interests of both parties."

Finally, after several rounds of negotiations, the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. Zhangjia and the Federation will jointly develop and utilize the land, and the income will be divided in proportion to ensure the interests of both parties. The agreement clarifies the rights and obligations of both parties and avoids future disputes.

Lord Zhao watched the two parties sign the agreement and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I hope you can achieve common development through this cooperation. I will also supervise this matter to ensure the implementation of the agreement."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan left the county government office with a sigh of relief. They knew that although the negotiation was difficult, the final result was good.

"Ruo Wei, we did it." Gu Yan said with a smile.

"Yes, Gu Yan. This cooperation not only protects our rights and interests, but also lays the foundation for future cooperation." Lin Ruowei replied with a smile, her eyes full of hope.

After returning to Liuxi Village, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan announced the results of this cooperation to the villagers. Everyone expressed their support and gratitude, and the village was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"We must continue to work hard, seize this opportunity and achieve greater development," Lin Ruowei said at the villagers' meeting.

"Yes, we must work together and fight together." Gu Yan also encouraged everyone.
