555 Clearing the Air

After Director Li said those words to scare the villagers, the villagers immediately quietened down.

After all, most of the representatives from the various villages were the elders of the villages, and these elders were almost all not very cultured.

Director Li's sharp eyes swept across the villagers present and he immediately shouted, "Which one of you can tell me why you suddenly came to the Shi family? Has the Shi family not paid the money they owe all of you? You even scolded the Shi family for being black-hearted and earning black-hearted money. Hmph, as a member of the government, I'll tell you very fairly that your land being expropriated has nothing to do with the Shi family or Gu Qingming. Your land being expropriated is an order from the country."

When the villagers heard this, their thoughts immediately turned. They were completely unconvinced.

Some villagers were not afraid of Director Li's aura. One asked in confusion, "Director Li, what do you mean? Isn't our land being expropriated for Qingkang Company? To expand their company's industry? And Qingkang Company is the company of Gu Qingming and the Shi family. So, how can our land being expropriated have nothing to do with them?"

Director Li looked at the villager. He narrowed his eyes and did not answer him directly. Instead, he asked, "I remember you. You're the village chief of the Zhou Family Village, Zhou Chunfu, right?"

President Chen said loudly, "How is it not related? It's a big deal. Let me tell you the truth. The country expropriated your land for us to plant. As for Qingkang Company, they're working for us. They have no right to deal with the land at all."

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

When the villagers heard this answer, they were very surprised.

They only knew that their land had been expropriated for the Qingkang Company to plant, but they had never heard that the Qingkang Company was also working.

Director Li looked at their surprised expressions and said speechlessly, "Why not? Qingkang Company is just a small company. Even if they want to expand the company's business, they can completely rent the villagers' fields to farm like before. It's completely impossible for the company to get the country to come forward and confiscate your land. You only know Qingkang Company, so why do you ignore the National Agricultural Investment Corporation? What is the National Agricultural Investment Corporation? It's a company that belongs to the country. A small company like Qingkang Company can't compare at all. If the national company wants to invest, can't they confiscate the land?"

The villagers were speechless.
