Chapter 588: Losing Everything OvernightTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the same time, in a four-star hotel in Tianhai City.

The Bureau Chief stared in bewilderment at the images that Hong Dali transmitted over. He winked towards the mysterious man and said, “Boss, this kid really knows how to play. This move of his is really brilliant. This is akin to understanding the commoners’ way of thinking directly, isn’t it?”

The mysterious man sighed, shook his head, helplessly smiled, and said, “I feared that something like this would happen in the past, and it really happened. No matter how good the policies we make are, they are not easy to be implemented by the people at the bottom, sigh.”

Being the Boss of Heavenly State, the mysterious man was naturally concerned about what the masses thought. Normally, when he went around to inspect, those people who were going to be inspected instantly knew about it once he left. Therefore, it was hard for him to know what the masses were really thinking.

This time, because of Hong Dali, the mysterious man finally knew how things were really like, and to what extent their policies were not working.

He felt pain in his heart, yet at the same time felt very grateful to Hong Dali.

If it wasn’t for Hong Dali, he would still be in the dark even now.

“Boss.” The Bureau Chief carefully asked, “We basically understand the situation now, should I bring some people over?”

“Hm.” The mysterious man slowly shook his head. “I shall go personally!”

“Boss, you…” The Bureau Chief said in surprise, “You still have an important conference to attend later, you can’t just leave like this! If something goes wrong…”

“If we lose the heart of the people, then that would really cause big trouble.” The mysterious man’s expression was very resolute, and his tone without any sense of hesitation as he said, “Compared to this, what does missing a single conference matter?”

“That’s true.” The Bureau Chief thought about it and felt that that was indeed the case. He instantly said, “Then, I shall summon the helicopter now!”

He very quickly made the call. Then, the Bureau Chief thought for a while and suddenly asked, “Boss, should we post this video online afterward?”

This was a big matter. If such a video was released online, no one could guarantee the masses’ reaction.

“Of course we should, we definitely should!” The mysterious man fiercely slapped his thigh and said, “I want to use this video to tell those people messing around that this time, I am definitely not going to be easy on them!”

“Okay!”

…

He’an village.

The Eleventh Society’s leader talked for an entire hour, from their establishment to their glorious deeds, from their vision to their accomplishments. He blabbered a lot of things, so much that Hong Dali was practically hypnotized to sleep. By the time he was done, Hong Dali almost fell asleep on the ground…

“I am done talking.” The leader from the Eleventh Society paused for a while, then hooligans instantly signaled to the villagers and instantly, a loud round of applause sounded!

The leader from the Eleventh Society was very pleased with the villagers’ response and bowed towards them. At the same time, the cameras all flashed and captured this moment. Then, a small village girl carried a bouquet and rushed up the stage, and the leader from the Eleventh Society instantly gave her a warm hug—the one who thought of the bouquet, well done. I will decisively praise you to my superior after I return. Even I didn’t think of this!

Holding the bouquet of flowers in his hands, the leader from the Eleventh Society high-soundingly announced: “This time, we came with sincerity! You all have suffered!” Saying so, he fiercely squeezed his eyes and squeezed out two droplets. Then, he said, “We have prepared 400,000 yuan worth of resources and another 100,000 worth of cash! Now, I shall officially hand them to Mayor Xu Dezhi, please welcome him!”

Another loud round of applause sounded. Wang Xigui and Xu Dezhi clapped till their hands were red—this was quite a lot of money; Xu Dezhi would get 70,000 yuan while Wang Xigui would get 30,000 yuan!

“Oh my, look at this generous offering, I am really ashamed to accept it…” After he clapped, Xu Dezhi hurriedly went up and fiercely shook hands with the leader from the Eleventh Society. “Comrade, thank you, thank you! The villagers of He’an Village are really lucky!”

…

As the members from the Chamber of Commerce watched this, they all scolded. “The one who’s lucky is you, isn’t it!? 70%! Those villagers could at most get 1,000 yuan added up!”

“That’s right. Luckily, I never donated to them in the past. Looks I did the right thing!”

“I shall donate five million to Young Master Dali later, he is much more reliable!”

The people in the Tianhai military were furiously slapping the table too. “The money isn’t a lot in the first place, and now it will all be entering these bastards’ pockets!”

“This Eleventh Society made such a big scene just donate 100,000 yuan… Even the money they used for publicizing was much more than this!”

“These people should really be pulled out and shot for an entire 10 minutes!”

…

After handing over the resources and money, the leader went around paying condolences to the villagers. Once he came down, the villagers all started pouring to him their hardships. They grabbed his hand and didn’t let go, cried and said, “Leader, we are so glad you came, we are finally saved now!”

“That’s right, if you still can’t come, we wouldn’t be able to live anymore!”

Of course, they couldn’t live anymore, they didn’t even have a single sip of water since morning. If he still didn’t come, they would all have starved to death!

The people from the Eleventh Society all watched with watery eyes. “Folks, your days will become better, everything will become better!”

As he said this, someone suddenly shouted, “Benefactor, you are really our benefactor!”

It was Hong Dali who pounced towards him!

Hong Dali squeezed through the villagers and hugged his leg, wailed and said, “Benefactor! My house was beside He’an Town. I had a house and land, my life was happy! But the earthquake destroyed everything, I lost everything overnight! My father accidentally fell from the roof and died, my mother was injured too, but we had no money to treat her and she passed away! We don’t have anywhere to go to and could only beg for a living! Luckily the Eleventh Society came to rebuild our home. I will definitely study hard and work hard to repay the Eleventh Society’s kindness!”

His words came out quick and fast, and it had quite the rhyme to it as well…

His words were full of praise and compliment, making the leader from the Eleventh Society beam with delight. “Oh my, this little brother. Please stand up. How can I accept your thanks, it’s not my effort alone.” As he said so, he signaled to the reporters, and they instantly shot this scene down. Some of them had even decided on the title: The Eleventh Society Was Very Amiable, The Suffering Villager Expressed All Of His Sufferings To Him!

Wang Xigui was very happy with Hong Dali’s performance. He really quite liked this little beggar—I shall reward this beggar some meat later!

Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi almost dropped to the floor laughing. They held back their laughter as best they could—they couldn’t laugh now, if not they would spoil their disguise…

The Chamber of Commerce members didn’t have this scruple and had already fallen to the floor laughing. Liu Yihui fiercely patted Hong Weiguo’s elbow, laughed and said, “Your Dali is really talented. Hahaha, this is too funny!”

Mu Tie laughed loudly as well. “This little rascal, I can’t take it anymore. This is really too funny, this is too interesting!”

Hong Weiguo didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “This little rascal…”

The people in the Tianhai military were even more exaggerated. Quite a few of them were saying, “Damned, this little rascal can just skit next time if he runs out of money, that will definitely work! He’s really too impressing, he’s really unmatched!”

“That’s right, this little rascal, he’s really too interesting. I can’t take it anymore, hahaha! This is too funny!”

Hong Dali’s performance received everyone’s praise, and the village chief laughed till his mouth couldn’t close anymore. The people from the Eleventh Society were also all very delighted, so they very quickly went into the village and casually walked one round inside. By this time, the ten plus three-wheeled trucks they hired were there too. The village chief hurriedly took out the banner he prepared and suggested that they eat a meal. Therefore, they slaughtered chickens and lambs to make the food and the village leaders accompanied the people from the Eleventh Society.

As the village chief was eating, he scolded towards a wild dog. “Go away, where did this wild dog come from, go away eat your bone!” Saying so, he threw a bone to the wild dog, Lai Fu.

In this case, it wasn’t suitable for Lai Fu to stay there anymore. Hong Dali used his heart-to-heart connection to ask Lai Fu to take the bone and retreat—then, find a covert spot and continue filming!

After the people from the Eleventh Society had their meal, they left the village with the mayor and the reporters. The mayor would naturally host them again in the town, that didn’t need to be elaborated.

After they all left, Lai Fu secretly sneaked back.

By this time, the resources were all stacked into a small mountain in the village chief’s courtyard.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but very quickly, the village chief’s scolding words sounded. “Damn the Eleventh Society, after all the food and things they took, the resources which were said to be worth 400,000 is only worth seventy to eighty thousand yuan!”

As he said so, he continued to throw things out and scolded. “Even the mineral bottled water is labeled 15 yuan per bottle, is your water made from gold!?”

“This stupid blanket is priced at 1,000 yuan per piece? What the heck, this is at most worth 100 per piece!”

“And this, a stupid tent that’s priced 800 yuan. I can buy it for just 80 yuan!”

Wang Xigui scolded for half a day. After he tabulated everything, he sat down on his butt and said, “This stupid and cheap stuff is only worth about 60 to 70 thousand yuan in total, how am I supposed to answer to the Mayor? Damn it!”

While the village chief was sitting there depressingly, because of his outstanding performance, Hong Dali was allowed to stay in the village.

Therefore, Hong Dali finally had a chance to ask the villagers about what happened to Old Liu’s family. As he was drinking porridge, he asked, “Big Brother, what happened to Old Liu’s family? And the earthquake, I heard it was only 4.5 degrees. It shouldn’t be very serious, should it?”

It was no wonder Hong Dali asked this. A 4.5-degree earthquake wasn’t very strong, it shouldn’t have caused such a big problem—even if the village was at the center of the earthquake,

so many houses shouldn’t have collapsed, right?
