He had been away from the village for a long time and didn’t know the current state of the village, but White Dragon Agricultural Company was a leading enterprise in the town, and he was certainly very clear about that.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Liu Qinghong with a cold sneer.
"Do you still think I’m the person I used to be?"
"Times change, fortunes turn; don’t look down on the young and poor, haven’t you heard?"
"Beat this shameless bastard to death."
It was unclear who threw the first punch, but a group of people started beating up Liu Qinghong with fists and kicks.
"Ouch, my dear mother, I won’t dare again, I promise."
Liu Qinghong immediately begged for mercy.
A few minutes later, Zhang Xiaoshan finally stopped the crowd.
He walked over to Liu Qinghong, who was now bruised and swollen.
"Don’t, don’t hit me, haha, I, I, I’m going to call the police..."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan approaching, Liu Qinghong trembled with fright.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Liu Qinghong with utter disgust.
"Rest assured, a trashy little character like you is not worth my lifting a hand; besides, the county’s public security chief Luo Yihua would have to smile obsequiously when he sees me. Try calling the police and see if it does you any good?"
"Now vanish from my sight."
"You, you just wait..."
Liu Qinghong scrambled to his feet and ran away as fast as he could.
"Damn Zhang Xiaoshan and all you troublemakers, just wait. I am determined to become the village head."
"Once I become the village head, none of you will have an easy life."
Only after running a few hundred meters away did he dare to talk tough, and then he limped off.
"Little Shan, well, well, what about the village school issue?"
At this time, the villagers were all concerned about the school, looking worried and not bothering to quarrel with Liu Qinghong.
All eyes eagerly turned to Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan said bluntly.
"What Liu Qinghong said is true, the money was swindled from Wu Damming, but I have had people track down the swindler, and I will surely recover the money within a week at most."
The villagers suddenly burst into joyful smiles.
"Of course it’s true, just wait for my good news. At most one week, if the charity funds can’t be recovered, I, Zhang Xiaoshan, will pay out of my pocket for the village school."
"In any case, our new school will be completed on schedule, so everyone rest assured."
"Little Shan, you really are capable."
"We all believe in you."
"Alright, everyone get back to work, don’t waste any more time."
After dismissing the crowd, Zhang Xiaoshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, are you really going to pay for the school out of your own pocket? I know you’re rich now, but that’s not a small amount. You’re taking on a big responsibility, putting a lot of pressure on yourself, aren’t you?"
Xu Jing looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and said.
No sooner had she spoken than she realized that her words might be inappropriate, so she hastily added,
"I, I know I’m not yet your wife, not even your girlfriend, and have no right to dictate how you spend your money, but we are at least friends, right? I, I’m just concerned about you, not wanting you to be under too much pressure."
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Xu Jing’s nervous and silly expression and smiled gently.
"I know you mean well, but I’m not foolish. I’m sure I can get the money back; then I won’t need to spend my own. Okay, I’m a bit sleepy now, let’s have a detailed chat another day." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
After assuring Xu Jing with a few words, he went straight to the infirmary, having hardly slept the previous night and gotten up early, he immediately fell asleep on the small bed.
"Damn Zhang Xiaoshan, I really underestimated him. I didn’t expect that in just a few months, he had developed so greatly. Not only had he become a big boss, but he also held such high esteem in the village."
"I thought these stupid old mules were easy to fool, but this kid Zhang Xiaoshan messed things up."
"Since I can’t win the villagers’ trust, I’ll have to figure out a way with the higher-ups. If I handle the task given to me by Liu Guotao of the Health Education Bureau well, and get his support, how difficult could becoming the principal of a simple school be?"
Thinking this way, he left White Dragon Village.
He hailed a black cab and went directly to County First Middle School, where he found Li Ya in the classroom, in the middle of a lesson.
