Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Let the Bullets Fly for a While
Victory Village Committee.
Lin Fan was sitting in the middle of the presidium for the first time, flanked by Zhou Daguai and Sun Qimei, with
the village chief Sun Shengbo beside them.
Below the stage were a dozen village representatives, including Cai Wenguang, who had been glaring at Lin Fan
with disdain since he got out of his car. He had gritted his teeth but could do nothing—his teeth had been pulled
before he even got the chance to bite anyone. It was a miscalculation on his part. Fortunately, these were trifles;
in his heart, sabotaging this Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation promotion was equivalent to destroying Lin Fan.
Hosted by the village's secretary, Zhou Daguai, Sun Qimei from the company started by explaining the
cooperation methods and content professionally. Her eloquent demeanor was indeed surprising to Lin Fan; he
hadn’t expected her to have such a presence in an official setting—a true career woman.
"Next, Mayor Lin will give a speech!"
After one round, Zhou Daguai spoke again, clapping along with a few village officials to welchim; however,
the village representatives sitting below did so lackadaisically, with no one clapping, which made the scene quite

For this, Lin Fan was naturally prepared. After clearing his throat, he finally said into the microphone,
"Before | chere, | had heard from Manager Sun that pushing forward this pro-farmer initiative would be
difficult, and the company faced the risk of pulling out investments. After digging deeper, | found an interesting
fact—speople have labeled this pro-farmer project as my personal achievement. They say if the promotion
doesn’t go through, I, the Mayor, would just walk away. | believe that you have all heard such rumors, so | want
to respond once again—this matter has nothing to do withpersonally but is merely one of the small projects
in the town government's investment attraction initiative."
Lin Fan cut straight to the point, his gaze drifting toward Cai Wenguang in the crowd, "Of course, | believe you all
belong to the svillage and share the ssurname, and you wouldn't take my word for it just because I'm
an outsider. Believe it or not, the introduction of this project has not only received support from the City leaders
but also from the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute. Just now, Manager Sun has already explained the
method of cooperation. You are all farmers, why just listen to others’ words without doing your calculations? The
Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation project, whether through land leasing or cooperation, could increase profits
fivefold compared to growing corn. This is clearly money at your fingertips—would you not earn it just because of
someone's rumor? If you don’t join now, and the project turns out successful in the future, who will compensate
you for the lost profits?"
Lin Fan's words echoed in everyone's hearts, yet the villagers remained sitting there blankly, each one running
their own little calculations mentally.
"| have another announcement. The town has issued a notice inviting all village chiefs and interested breeders
from different villages to visit Victory Village tomorrow to see the Chinese Herbal Medicine Cultivation base. In
the afternoon, we will also hold the first batch of signing ceremonies here. The first group of farmers, including
the village, who partner with us will receive certain benefits and discounts. However, those who do not sign
tomorrow afternoon will lose the right to be the first signatories and will only be considered for signing after two
years, and even then, just considered."
Lin Fan paused and continued, "Of course, ssay they can plant on their own without partnering with us, as
the land is yours. But don’t forget, the company we are bringing in specializes in deep processing, and they will
only buy the products of the signatories. Non-signatories, even if they harvest, can only go to the Provincial City
to sell, where transportation costs will also be a major loss. So everyone, think carefully tonight, and don't let
certain people lead you astray."
Having finished speaking, Lin Fan didn’t wait for any further responses. He got up and walked outside, his
resolute manner causing the villagers to start having doubts since Cai Guangwen was keeping them from signing
the deal. What if the project really succeeded—who would compensate for their losses?

"You guys keep this in mind, I've already notified all the village chiefs, we’ll all be united against him. His signing
ceremony won't see even a ghost’s shadow; just wait and watch the show tomorrow!"
Cai Guangwen sneered, puffing on his pipe as he walked out. In his view, Lin Fan was simply courting death.
Meanwhile, kneeling in the passenger seat, Sun Qimei leaned forward on the armrest, holding Lin Fan firmly,
mumbling as it would be over an hour’s drive back, giving Lin Fan enough tto vent.
"Tomorrow afternoon... to sign... is it really feasible?"
"Are you doubting my ability?"
Lin Fan gripped the steering wheel with one hand while the other caressed Sun Qimei’s voluptuous body, his
eyes focused on the road yet also enjoying the wet embrace.
"Cai Wenguang has been the village chief for over forty years, he knows those chiefs well, and many of them
have familial ties with the Cai family. | worry about these people, who choose kin over fairness."
Playing with the object that gave her endless happiness, Sun Qimei voiced her concerns.
"Don’t worry, let the bullet fly a while. In the face of money and direct kin, Cai Wenguang isn’t worth a fart!"
