Chapter 310: Yan Siming

Lin Lihui didn’t notice anything wrong. He nodded and said, “Yes. It’s a place that has been producing strawberries. Liao Guohui said the soil there is suitable for strawberries, so he’s going to make it into a strawberry tourism destination.”
Liao Guohui had come up with the front to take over Taoyuan Village. Of course, he wasn’t dumb enough to expose his real intention. However, Liao Guohui also had his countermeasures just in case of exposure.

Therefore, there were many things that Lin Lihui didn’t know.

Yan Siming looked a little anxious as he said, “Is the place you mentioned Taoyuan Village in Xing Yin County?” The most famous source of strawberry in City Z had to be Taoyuan Village. He didn’t expect that someone would target that village the moment he turned his eyes away. Moreover, judging from
Lin Lihui’s words, the development plan of Taoyuan Village had been approved.

Lin Lihui didn’t notice that something was wrong with Yan Siming’s expression. He nodded and said, “Yes, it’s Taoyuan Village!”

Yan Siming stood up and said to the people in the private room, “I’m sorry, everyone. I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll settle the bill this time. You guys just stay here and enjoy yourselves!” He left quickly.
The rest of the people looked at each other.

“Did we say something wrong to make Yan Siming unhappy?” Someone asked doubtfully.

“Idon’t think so. Oh. Did you notice that Yan Siming appears to know Taoyuan Village? Could it be that he’s interested in developing it too?” Someone reacted.

“Who knows.”

“Anyway, it’s none of our business! Come on! Another round!”

Yan Siming drove away from the farmhouse. Once he was far away, he stopped by the roadside and made a phone call. “Secretary Wang, I need you to investigate Global Tourism Development Company. Are they planning to develop Taoyuan Village in Xing Yin County into a tourist destination?”
Secretary Wang received the call and immediately replied, “Yes, Chairman. I’ll get someone to investigate right away.”
As Yan Siming’s subordinate, he shivered once he heard the name Taoyuan Village. The woman his chairman had taken a fancy to came from Taoyuan Village.

After Yan Siming hung up the phone, his hand tapped on the steering wheel. He didn’t expect something like this to happen.

Since the matter had been settled, someone had to announce it to the villagers.
‘When the village chief received the notice and the proposal given by the developer, his entire face turned livid with anger. Every villager would get only 5000 RMB per person.
The developer didn’t arrange a new location for the villagers to move to. They only told them that the money was good enough for the villagers to move to the county town and start a new life.

After all, the money should be enough for them to make a new life. However, most of the villagers were farmers. What else could they do other than farming? Plus, why would the developer take their farmland away from them? That deprived the villagers of their income. Did they expect the villagers to
eat dirt in the future?

Regardless, the developer’s demolition team had already arrived at Taoyuan Village.
‘The demolition team was a team organized by the Global Tourism Development Company.

However, before they reached the village entrance, they were stopped.

‘Three luxurious cars parked directly at the village entrance.

The leader of the demolition team was not blind. On the contrary, he was very smart. He would have continued mowing forward if these were ordinary cars.

However, that was not the case. In each car sat a man in sunglasses. Their cars were lined up in a row. They were there to stop the demolition team.

‘The cars were worth more than a million RMB. The one in the middle cost more than ten million!

Clearly, they didn’t belong to ordinary villagers! Could the demolition team afford to offend them?

Of course not!

Captain Hu, the leader of the demolition team, immediately called Li Jianmin.

LiJianmin didn’t care about the villagers. Normally, the demolition would start after the proposal had the signatures from all the villagers. However, Li Jianmin couldn’t wait anymore.

LiJianmin arranged a demolition team with a powerful background to roll into Taoyuan Village. They would bulldoze Taoyuan Village and claim the land regardless of the villagers’ protest. These were just country bumpkins. What could they do?
He didn’t expect a call from the team leader.

“CEO Li, there are three luxury cars worth tens of millions parked at the entrance of the village. We don’t dare to drive over them,” Captain Hu of the demolition team reported to Li Jianmin.

“What?” Li Jianmin was also very surprised. He asked suspiciously, “Are you sure? Is it possible that they are just shells? Cars that have been painted to look expensive?”

Captain Hu narrowed his eyes. He said with a very serious expression, “CEO Li, they are the real deal.

“Plus, the people inside the cars don’t look like they’re easily dealt with. They are here purposely to stop us from entering the village.”

“Bullshit, how is that possible? No one knows that I’m sending over your team earlier than usual. Why would someone be there to stop us?” Li Jianmin was extremely angry.

“CEO Li, what should we do now?” Captain Hu ignored Li Jianmin’s anger and asked carefully. Captain Hu was not a fool. These people driving the cars definitely came from powerful backgrounds. He was not going to crush these luxury cars.
Captain Hu could not make the decision on this matter. He could only contact their CEO, Li Jianmin.

“Useless!” Li Jianmin cursed angrily. “Go and find out their identity. I’ll come over in a while.”

“Okay!” Captain Hu replied.

After hanging up the phone, Captain Hu looked at these luxury cars and then at the men in the cars. He narrowed his eyes and walked over.

At the same time, Secretary Wang’s investigation came to a conclusion.

Secretary Wang reported to Yan Siming, “Chairman Yan, half a month ago, Liao Guohui of the Global Tourism Development Company decided to develop Taoyuan Village. His proposal has been passed by the local county. The latest intelligence I receive is that their demolition team is already at Taoyuan
Village.”

“What?” Yan Siming’s face darkened, and then he said coldly, “This Liao Guohui is really bold. Secretary Wang, get me Liao Guohui’s phone number.”
Secretary Wang immediately understood what Yan Siming meant.

He thought for a moment and then carefully persuaded, “Chairman, his development plan has already been approved. Even if you call him now, you can’t stop him!”

“Just follow my order!” Yan Siming shouted in annoyance. He was extremely worried about Xiao Lingyu. She was pregnant. Having a demolition was definitely not good for her.
He wanted to rush to Taoyuan Village immediately, but he knew that if he wanted to stop this, he had to find the source. Only then would he be able to protect her better.
Secretary Wang let out a sigh and made a few phone calls, asking for Liao Guohui’s number.

Liao Guohui’s company was a big company in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of a person like Yan Siming, it was simply not worth his attention.

After Yan Siming waited for a moment, Secretary Wang returned with Liao Guohui’s number.

Liao Guohui was quite satisfied with Li Jianmin’s ability. He acted swiftly and had already sent over the demolition team. In other words, Taoyuan Village was already in his hands.

He sat in his office, and he could see the stacks of money entering his pocket. While he was deep in his sweet dream, his phone rang.
