Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"

In an instant, the angry accusations from the crowd ceased abruptly. Everyone looked at each other, and not a single person jumped out to refute Xu Tian's words.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Xu Tian softened his tone.

"Everything has two sides. Different regions have different customs and cultures, so differences are inevitable."

“I, no, I mean the vast majority of people in Jiangcheng and even the whole country respect your customs. It is your adherence to the old ways that has shut out everyone’s goodwill.”

Someone scoffed, "Your so-called goodwill is to demolish our ancestral hall?"

Xu Tian continued, "That's why I came here specifically for this matter. It's not that the ancestral hall can't be preserved, but demolition is inevitable. If the ancestral hall is preserved, are you willing to cooperate with the government?"

“That’s something we can discuss,” Father said first.

"Yes, everyone's been in a state of panic lately, and I've even lost my job."

"Who says otherwise? Don't even mention you, I've lost my job too, and now my monthly income is barely enough to feed my family."

……

Everyone immediately looked dejected, their earlier fierce spirit gone.

Seeing this, Xu Tian added, "As long as you support the government's work, I guarantee that everyone's sources of income will not be limited to just working in the fields."

"How can you guarantee that?" Father asked.

As the village chief, he has a responsibility to the entire village. Moreover, there are other villages in the vicinity besides theirs. Only after Xu Tian gains everyone's approval can he have the confidence to persuade the other villages as the village chief.

Xu Tian smiled and said, "I guarantee that any man in the family who can work, regardless of age, will be given priority in job placement as soon as construction starts. As for women, they will also be given priority in job placement once the shopping mall and other facilities are completed."

"Are you telling the truth?" someone asked, half-believing.

"If it's true, we'll not only be closer to work, but we can also make money."

Xu Tian smiled again, "Of course it's true. After I go back and communicate with the government, I will sign an agreement with you."

“Alright, we’re not being unreasonable. You were the ones who went too far before, using the government to pressure us and even threatening to smash our ancestral hall. That’s why we organized to fight back.”

Xu Tian nodded, "I understand, so I will actively help you solve this problem."

The tense atmosphere vanished instantly, replaced by a chorus of gratitude towards Xu Tian.

After calming everyone down and letting them leave, Father and A-Lian deliberately stayed behind.

"I misunderstood you just now," the father said, feeling somewhat guilty.

Xu Tian waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about it. After all, we had a very unpleasant argument before, so I understand."

The old man nodded. “You just said you wanted to communicate with the government. How about this, after you’ve communicated with them, I’ll go to other villages. That way, it will be more convincing.”

"No problem!" Xu Tian said with a smile.

Father then asked, "So, are you still going to rent this house or not?"

Xu Tian thought for a moment. Even if he were to head back to the city now, he would still need a place to stay after he took on all the projects here. Otherwise, traveling back and forth to the city would be too much of a hassle.

"I'll rent it! Once the project is approved, I'll come back. Who knows, I might rent it for a year or two!"

Ah Lian's eyes lit up as she listened. She was only seventeen, just the age when she was beginning to experience romantic feelings.

Xu Tian is tall and handsome. Although he has the ruggedness of a northern man, he is thoughtful and considerate when dealing with others, fulfilling all of A-Lian's fantasies about men.

“You’ve helped us so much, so I’ll say this: you can stay in this house, and we won’t charge you any rent,” the father said.

"How can that be done!"

Father shook his head, "Just listen to me. Besides, Ah Lian and my wife will need your help to find jobs in the future, so how can I ask you for rent again?"

Xu Tian wanted to insist, but his father's tone was very firm, and he was even about to get angry. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

Back in the city, Xu Tian didn't even have time to eat before he asked Zhao Jing out.

"Any results?" Zhao Jing asked anxiously.

Xu Tian nodded. "I just spoke with Zhang Wei on the phone. I didn't expect him to be even more anxious than I am. He'll be over in a bit."

Zhao Jing nodded, but then added, "Zhang Wei is a cunning old fox. He wouldn't take all the credit and then turn his back on us, would he?"

"Probably not. Whoever gets the project can make a cut. We can just give them more money."

Zhao Jing nodded, but still had some doubts in her heart.

After Zhang Wei arrived, Xu Tian explained his thoughts and the village's wishes, but he also kept his options open by not revealing that he had agreed to the village's arrangement of work.

Zhang Wei nodded repeatedly, "That's great! I'll go back and report to the leaders right away. Whether the ancestral hall is demolished or not won't affect the project. I think the leaders will agree. Then we can issue an official document, and those people will be at ease."

"That way, the project over there can start!"

At this moment, Zhao Jing reminded him, "Director Zhang, what about the projects we agreed on before, where we would handle them..."

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. I'll go back and report to my superiors first, and then I'll let you know."

With that, Zhang Wei left.

Zhao Jing was furious. "That old man's scheme is practically aimed at me! What if he changes his mind?!"

Xu Tian raised the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, only we can do those projects."

Zhao Jing sighed, taking Xu Tian's words as a way of comforting her. However, if that old bastard Zhang Wei really went back on his word, she would definitely not let it go!

"Oh, right."

Zhao Jing suddenly said, "The bidding results for the Xu Group will be released today."

Xu Tian nodded, without much reaction.

Zhao Jing looked at him in surprise, "Don't you want to know the result?"

"It seems Hengtong Group won the bid. Judging by the time, it's probably almost over. Why don't you go take a look?"

She definitely has to go. If he doesn't go, Su Nuannuan will definitely turn into a little crybaby.

"Zhang Wei, keep an eye on things. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Xu Tian drove away.

The large conference room of the Xu Group.

The news of Hengtong Group winning the bid was officially announced, and Zhang Qian's efforts over the past few days finally paid off, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.

"congratulations."

"You're young and promising. We can talk about future collaborations sometime."

For a time, Zhang Qian was highly praised and even attracted the attention of other companies. Many more people wanted to cooperate with Hengtong Group.

Zhang Qian was overjoyed; all her bad mood vanished, leaving only smugness.

Accompanied by Su Zhen, Su Nuannuan sat forlornly in the spot, feeling extremely distressed.

“We have done a great job. Not winning the bid does not mean we have lost. Our proposal is definitely better than anyone else’s. We just suffered because the company is just starting out.”

Su Zhen patiently comforted Su Nuannuan, while Zhang Qian, having made her way through the crowd, stood beside them.

"Where's Xu Tian? Didn't he dare to come?"
