376 Alliance and Opposition
“We’re all from Sanhua Town. Why does Qinghe village have to be superior to others? ” As soon as Zhou Hao finished speaking, someone couldn’t help but speak up.
“I can accept the development of Qinghe Village. But they can’t take our benefits, right? Is this ethical? The per capita income of their village is more than twice that of our village. They are so greedy!” One of the village chiefs clutched his chest and put on a pained expression.
“Originally, everyone was eating out of the same cauldron. There were more than ten people, and each person had a bowl of rice. Some people had big bowls, and some had small bowls. This was still acceptable; at least bowls were being used to hold the rice. However, Qinghe Village had to use a pot to hold rice. Not only that, but he also wanted to take the cauldron for himself! We, from Xiabing, will not agree to this!” The person who spoke had a loud voice and was very agitated.
“Exactly! Since he’s shameless, we might as well disregard all decorum with him! I don’t believe that we can’t defeat a single Qinghe Village if we work together! Even if the town mayor is here today, he has to listen to our opinions!” A village chief stood up and looked at the people around him.
Zhou Hao was very satisfied with his masterstroke as he looked at the buzzing crowd.
It was difficult to stand on the opposite side of Chu Ning, but it was also simple.
Chu Ning’s current foundation was in Qinghe Village. As long as Qinghe Village was in chaos and the surrounding villages were united in their hatred, cutting off her supply, Chu Ning would have her hands tied!
“Chu Ning, enjoy my gift to you. This is just the beginning,” Zhou Hao thought to himself.
“Everyone, calm down. We…” Just as Zhou Hao was about to speak, he was interrupted by a rapid series of knocks on the meeting room door.
“They’re here.” Zhou Hao’s eyes flashed with joy.
“Come in,” Zhao Gang, the chief of Houtu Village, said loudly.
“Something’s happened! The Qinghe villagers and our villagers are fighting. They are too arrogant. Not only did they insult our Houtu Village, but they also look down on the other villages in Sanhua Town. They said that we are a bunch of jealous dogs!” the Houtu villager who barged in said with grief and indignation.
“What? It’s fine if he criticizes our Houtu village, but how dare he speak so harshly about other villages?” Zhao Gang, the chief of the Houtu Village, asked in bewilderment.
A fight between two villages was not worth mentioning to Zhao Gang.
His purpose was to stir up dissatisfaction and conflict between the other villages and Qinghe Village. As for whether the words of the Houtu villager were true or not, that was not his concern.
Everything had been arranged by Zhou Hao.
This meeting was merely a foreshadowing. He needed these people to be repulsed by Qinghe Village first.
“What? This Qinghe village is too cocky!”
“Our Huaxi Village did not provoke them!”
“From now on, our Daniu Village and Qinghe Village will be irreconcilable!”
“Everything was fine; why are the people of Qinghe Village going crazy!”
“How dare they speak like that! My Baihuo Village had even helped them before! It seems that the people of Qinghe village are a bunch of ingrates!”
In an instant, the meeting room was bustling with noise and excitement.
The fight had even been overlooked by the crowd. Their focus was now on what the Qinghe villagers were saying.
They couldn’t bear to see the Qinghe villagers being so arrogant and conceited!
This was exactly the effect that Zhou Hao wanted to see.
“Well, when I proposed to cut off the river’s supply to Qinghe Village last night, you all still thought I was being mean and vicious,” Zhou Hao sighed.
He was the one who had single-handedly caused the conflict between Houtu Village and Qinghe Village that morning.
The environment that Zhou Hao grew up in told him that, if he wanted to succeed, he had to do it by hook or by crook.
In order to live well, he had to learn to more outstanding than his peers.
Zhou Wei’s father was the current leader of the Zhou family, and Zhou Hai had high hopes for Zhou Wei, regarding him as the future hope of the Zhou family.
On the other hand, Zhou Hao’s father was just a useless, unambitious second generation rich man. He was just a fringe member of the Zhou family.
Under such pressure, Zhou Hao was able to stand out from the rest of the Zhou family. In Zhou Hai’s heart, he was only second to Zhou Wei. He was the second-in-line successor to the Zhou family. The difficulties and hardships he had experienced along the way were naturally not something that these people could understand.
In Zhou Hao’s eyes, everyone could be used for the sake of profit.
It doesn’t pay to be good — those who are despicable can claw their way to the top as they abandon integrity and morals to try to achieve what they desire; those who are noble are guided by principles and ethics, and the only thing that will be remembered of them is the praise on their epitaph after their death.
Zhou Hao had no feelings.
