359 Seeking Benefits
“I’ll be able to see this mysterious foreign female classmate tomorrow. I’m so curious,” the students at the side said with anticipation.
“M City is going to have a big development this time.” The development of the Soaring Clouds Group would certainly drive the economic rise of M City. Now, with the addition of a powerful foreign company, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
Chu Ning’s thoughts and makeup had long separated from the student community. While the students around her were still focused on the internal matters of the school, she was analyzing M City’s current political and economic situation and future direction of development…
Towards the end of the morning lesson, Lin Hao indeed mentioned this matter. The school attached great importance to it, which actually meant that the city government of M City attached great importance to it.
At the same time, Zhou Hao had already arrived near Qinghe Village.
However, his goal that day was not to go to Qinghe Village.
There were more than a dozen villages around Qinghe Village. These villages formed a town, towns formed a county, and finally, M City.
Originally, Qinghe Village was not considered outstanding among the dozen or so villages in Sanhua Town. Due to the general election of the village chief, after Wen An had been appointed village chief, Qinghe Village developed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Other than Wen An, who was a young man from outside the village, the appointed village heads of the other villages, including Qinghe Village previously, were all the most prestigious and most outstanding people in the village.
However, the disadvantage of this was also very obvious.
The position of village head gradually became a tool for an individual to seek benefits. Past results showed that the village chiefs were all wealthy. With the help of almost the entire village, the village chief would be able to live a good life. The living conditions of the villagers remained very poor.
And after the village chief became wealthy, before he retired, he would often choose a suitable candidate in the village and sell the position of village chief at a suitable price.
As for the public election, there was no such thing as fairness.
A hundred yuan was enough to buy their voting rights.
Perhaps the previous village chief of Qinghe Village had found his conscience, or perhaps he had earned enough money to live happily for the rest of his life. In short, he did not continue the foolish and backward approach he had used previously.
Wen An was a top student who had graduated from a famous university. More importantly, he was a person with firm beliefs and a true desire to serve the people.
After some consideration, the previous chief of Qinghe Village took the initiative to give up his position as the chief of Qinghe Village. He did not sell the position but let the young man, Wen An, find the future path for the development of Qinghe Village.
Now, it seemed that his decision was extremely wise and correct.
Before Chu Ning’s arrival, Qinghe Village was already ahead of the other villages. After Chu Ning’s investment, Qinghe Village had almost secured its title as the top village within a few dozen kilometers.
While the average annual income of other villages was only about 15,000 yuan, the income of Qinghe Village was about to exceed 25,000 yuan.
After Chu Ning collaborated with Qinghe Village, the annual income of a small number of residents had exceeded 60,000 yuan…
This was simply an explosive growth.
Naturally, this would attract the jealousy and dissatisfaction of others.
“Hmph… A spark is all it takes to ignite their jealousy,” Zhou Hao muttered to himself softly as he sniffed the air in front of him intoxicatedly.
He stepped onto the main road of the village.
Before the rise of Qinghe Village, Houtu Village was the village with the highest per capita income in Sanhua Town.
But even if it was the highest, it was not much higher than that of the village with the lowest per capita income.
Now, Zhao Gang, the village chief of Houtu Village, was sitting in the village council office with a gloomy expression.
Zhao Gang had already bought a house in M City’s city center. The location was wonderful, and the full payment was close to 2 million yuan. He had easily forked out that much money.
Zhao Gang’s son was even studying at Jingyuan High School… Although they were both village chiefs, Zhao Gang’s annual income was more than ten times that of Wen An’s.
“This d***ed Wen An. He’s not interested, yet he’s spoiling it for the rest of us.” Zhao Gang slammed his fist on the table. Everyone knew that village chiefs used their position for their own benefit. However, Wen An, who was not from the village, did not do so. Instead, he split the benefits among the Qinghe villagers.
Qinghe Village had developed and become the number one village, and the residents of Houtu Village were naturally dissatisfied.
Now, in private, they already had a lot of complaints about him being the village chief.
The distributors bribed the village chief and, after getting the approval of the village chief, the price of the agricultural products would be very low. The income of the residents would naturally not be high, because the money would all be gathered in the pockets of the village chief.
