Chapter 20 Leave the Task to Me
"Qin Yu!"
Yan Mingyu's face changed suddenly.
If it weren't for him blocking it, she herself would have likely been gashed and torn.
"What are you doing, is there even a hint of law in your eyes?"
Manager Zhou angrily berated the villagers.
"In Lijia Village, we are the law!"
"Drive them out!"
The villagers swung their sticks and smashed them down.
Bang!
If Manager Zhou hadn't been wearing a safety helmet, his head would have certainly been cracked open and bleeding.
"President Yan, get in the car first!"
Qin Yu grabbed Yan Mingyu's arm and, regardless of whether she was willing or not, pulled her away.
Whoosh whoosh...
From within the crowd, people kept shooting cold arrows with slingshots, and several employees were hit to varying degrees.
"Quick, everyone get in the car!"
After seeing that Qin Yu had gotten Yan Mingyu into a car, Manager Zhou also called his subordinates to get in the car.
In a disgraceful retreat, they followed Qin Yu's car, leaving Lijia Village behind.
They didn't stop until they reached outside the gorge.
Manager Zhou jogged up to Yan Mingyu's car window and asked with a worried frown, "President Yan, what do we do now?"
"Let's go to the town first. Once we laid hands on the villagers, it means we have fallen into their trap. With the current state of internet public opinion, neither individuals nor companies can stand against it!"
Yan Mingyu knew that Liu Nanyan must be behind all this.
But if she couldn't settle this matter, it would mean that she had lost in her first-round exchange with him.
To make matters worse, they didn't start with the compensation, but rather used the ethereal concept of "feng shui" to make trouble.
And the villagers just happened to buy into it.
What a headache!
"Okay, President Yan, then I will contact Mayor Liu!"
Manager Zhou went back to his car and called the leaders of Anning Town, informing them that Yan Mingyu had arrived.
They arranged to have lunch together at the town's guesthouse soon to discuss the matter of Lijia Village.
Four Seas Corporation had invested so much money, surely their aim was to boost the local economy—they couldn't just pack up and leave because of a disturbance from the villagers, could they?
A moment later.
The group returned to Anning Town.
Several town leaders were already waiting at the door of the guesthouse.
Many of them were meeting the head of Four Seas Corporation for the first time and were surprised to find she was a woman, and so young and beautiful at that.
Naturally, they offered numerous compliments.
Yan Mingyu responded coldly and indifferently for a bit before turning the subject, "Have you hosted all the doctors? My people are injured and need treatment!"
"Yes, yes, the medical room is on the second floor!"
The town leaders hurriedly said.
"President Yan, you go and have lunch with the leaders. We can take care of ourselves!"
It was almost one o'clock, and both Manager Zhou's team and Yan Mingyu were still hungry.
"Alright! Qin Yu, if their doctors can't handle it, just tell me, and I will have our company's medical team come over in a helicopter!"
After nodding, Yan Mingyu looked at Qin Yu and spoke.
Whatever he was like in his personal life was his own business, but at work, he was meticulous and tirelessly loyal. Especially since he had just thrown himself in front of her without any hesitation, Yan Mingyu was genuinely touched.
"Heh heh, thank you, President Yan, it should be no big deal!"
Qin Yu grinned and laughed.
"Then you guys go up first, get checked, and we'll see!"
Yan Mingyu waited until Qin Yu and his group had gone up to the second floor before she and the town leaders went to the restaurant.
About the issue with Li Family Village, the town leadership's response was that they would send someone to mediate. Yan Mingyu should refrain from going there for now, so as to avoid exacerbating the conflict.
Yan Mingyu felt somewhat irritable inside. The prolonged situation with Li Family Village would only cause the company to become increasingly passive.
But for the moment, she couldn't think of any good solution.
After dinner, the town leaders went back to have a meeting to discuss the matter of Li Family Village. Yan Mingyu saw Manager Zhou and Qin Yu eating in the outside hall and went over to ask, "How is everyone doing? Is everyone okay?"
"We're fine, President Yan!"
Everyone shook their heads together.
"Alright then, everyone just stay at the guesthouse for now. I will try to settle this matter as soon as possible!"
After Yan Mingyu finished speaking, she left the guesthouse.
Qin Yu hurriedly wolfed down a couple of bites, put down his bowl, and followed her out.
Opposite the guesthouse was a small park.
Yan Mingyu sat on the bench under a large tree, looking in the direction of the big Meng Mountain, seemingly in thought.
Her slender figure and elegant aura seemed to blend into the beautiful surroundings of the small park.
Qin Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances before he withdrew his gaze.
Standing in the distance, he did not go over to disturb her.
After a good while, Yan Mingyu stood up, hands in her trench coat pockets, and walked over, "Walk with me!"
"Okay!"
Qin Yu nodded his head.
He followed behind Yan Mingyu, walking toward the outskirts of the town.
Lush green rice fields, golden yellow rape blossoms, and the azure sky...
Occasionally, one could hear a dog barking or two.
"President Yan, I have a suggestion..."
Qin Yu said, looking at Yan Mingyu's slender and tight back.
"Speak!"
Yan Mingyu turned around, her black hair blown by the breeze brushed across her fair and charming cheeks.
If a photographer were here, they would have captured a dazzling photo.
"The people of Li Family Village, they have lived in such small places generation after generation, their material demands are not high, so money definitely won't solve the problem.
Using force is even worse, just as you said, the people behind the scenes are hoping we conflict with the villagers..."
Qin Yu shared his view.
"So what do you suggest?"
Yan Mingyu raised her fine eyebrows slightly.
"I'm from a small place myself, and in every small place, there's always someone of high virtue and respect, someone who holds sway. If he could speak up for us, things would be much easier!
Moreover, the village is full of left-behind elderly people, the youngest being in their forties.
We could have the town leaders help us find contact information for their children, and then, with the influence of the Four Seas Corporation, whether they work or go to school, we can offer them convenient assistance.
Then they can in turn, call the elders in the mountains. With this dual approach, I think we should be able to resolve the issue."
Qin Yu said all this in one breath.
"Hmm... Asking the town leaders to help find contact information for the young people from Li Family Village is not difficult. But to find someone in the village who is highly esteemed... what can we offer to move him to speak for us outsiders?"
Yan Mingyu pondered and asked.
"Sincerity!"
Qin Yu uttered two words, looking at Yan Mingyu's attractive face with a determined expression, "I believe that sincerity can definitely move the other party!"
"..."
Yan Mingyu did not speak; everyone understands this principle, but it is difficult to put into practice.
"President Yan, let me take on this task!"
Seeing Yan Mingyu was silent, Qin Yu volunteered.
"But..."
Yan Mingyu had experienced the tough customs of Li Family Village.
She worried that Qin Yu would walk in standing but come out lying down....
