"No one is qualified."
Director Qi shook his head. "If I understand you correctly, your biological parents did not provide any proof to show you are their daughter?"
"Yes!"
Tian Jing nodded. "They just said so, and Chen Yaoming came once twelve years ago."
"He insisted on taking me away. Not only had I given birth to a child, but I was also pregnant. Was he here to recognize his daughter?"
"I thought it was more like kidnapping an ignorant woman, so I didn't acknowledge him."
"Who would have thought that after twelve years, Chen Yaoming would come with his five children and immediately demand a sky-high price."
"I think it was more like blackmail. Do you think I should have called the police?"
"You should call the police." Director Qi looked at the police officer on Tian Jing's other side. "What is your situation now?"
"Oh~ This is the good deed done by Chen Yaoming's uncle."
Tian Jing said this, but she looked at Chen Yaoming and his five children beside him.
"The person who claimed to be my great-uncle said that five years ago, before his son Chen Yaoshi went missing, he came to see me."
"Then, my so-called maternal uncle from the Xiao family also said that I had suspicion of causing Chen Yaoshi's death. I got angry and called the police."
"That great-uncle then went all out and reported the existence of Chen Youliang's private treasury in this mountain range to the provincial authorities."
"The province asked the police comrades to keep an eye on me while awaiting the provincial public security department to take over."
"You see, this is how my so-called relatives treat me, a family member they abandoned for decades."
"Who would want such relatives?"
"It seems that the Chen family great-uncle did not tell Comrade Chen Yaoming, who also had inheritance rights, about reporting the Chen family's private treasury to the province, did he?"
"Chen Yaoming, Chen Shaokang, Chen Shaohui, Chen Shaohuang, your inheritance rights have been selfishly deprived by Chen Guangfu. Do you resent it?"
"You clearly have a private treasury to inherit, yet you still bully me, the daughter abandoned by Chen Yaoming."
"What is your ultimate goal? Or have you become a pawn in someone else's hands?"
"Daughters also have inheritance rights. Your family of seven people, seven shares of property."
"If he can't find Chen Yaoshi on his side, then there are only his and his daughter-in-law's shares. Are you willing?"
"The police comrades are here, you can appeal."
Director Qi: "..." She could rest assured. This once slender girl had truly grown up.
Police Officer: "..." Can he swap with his colleague?
Staying by Comrade Tian Jing's side meant a lot of excitement, and he always got caught up in it.
"Comrade Tian Jing, before the provincial public security department comes to take over, we are on duty and cannot accept any other cases."
"Oh~" Tian Jing drew out her words. "I'm sorry, I didn't know. Chen Yaoming, the village office has a telephone, you can borrow it."
Chen Yaoming waved his hands repeatedly. "No need, no need. My second uncle has already reported it, so there's no point in arguing further."
Tian Jing raised an eyebrow. "So, this is bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Your second uncle reported it, and you think there's no point in arguing anymore."
"Then why are you still arguing about your eldest daughter whom you abandoned for over thirty years?"
"Is it because your eldest daughter has no backing and is easy to bully?"
Under Director Qi's glare, Chen Yaoming quickly shook his head. "No, no, I just came to see if you were doing well."
"Oh~" Tian Jing nodded. "Then you all do as you please, and don't disturb me."
"Also, don't call yourself my father anymore. You need evidence to speak."
"And those who claim to be my brothers and sisters, don't shout randomly without evidence. Maybe I'm not your eldest sister, but your ancestor."
"And that shameless stepmother, pick up the face you dropped on the ground and stick it back on. A thick skin is a good thing, don't lose it."
"Hahaha."
"Hahaha."
Not only did the onlookers burst into laughter, but Director Qi also chuckled.
"Today, I'll just consider it an inspection of Kushan. Comrade Chen, remember to go to the Women's Federation tomorrow to write a self-criticism."
"It's also fortunate that you're going to the Women's Federation. If you were to go to the police station, you'd be charged with false accusation."
And have to write a self-criticism?
Chen Yaoming's face turned as ugly as if he had eaten something unpleasant.
But no one paid him any more attention.
Tian Jing gestured with her right hand. "Director Qi, I'll take you on a tour."
"Alright, alright. I've always heard about the changes in Kushan, and I'm very curious. The bridge at the village entrance is beautifully built."
Watching the three figures heading west, Xiao Xueqi breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to confront Tian Jing.
However, when Li Zhengguo flatly refused him, he realized that this seemingly honest and hardworking rural man who always followed Tian Jing was not easy to deal with.
The mayor's secretary asked, "Why not agree? Joint ventures with overseas companies have corresponding preferential policies for taxes and other matters."
"What about the income?"
Li Zhengguo retorted, "Don't you forget, technology is priceless. My plan has always been conceived by my wife and me."
"The plan is in its final stage, and you want others to reap the rewards? Is that possible?"
"You only see that our expenses will decrease after the capital injection. Have you considered that future income will be halved by others?"
"There's also a possibility that if others inject more capital than us, we'll only get a small portion."
"Let alone a small portion. Under capitalists, even a person with forty-nine percent shares must obey the one with fifty-one percent."
"In the future, will Kushan be ours, or belong to overseas businessmen?"
"Then are you sure my plan can still be promoted throughout the county and province?"
"Even if other villages can also attract sponsorship from overseas capital. Then I ask you, in the future, will our land still completely belong to us farmers?"
"Don't forget, they are always capitalists. They do nothing without profit."
"Working under capitalists, hah, in the end, not only will our village's investment be transferred as their shares."
"Even villagers who want to withdraw will probably have to pay money to buy their freedom."
"I don't know how you were persuaded. If you want to attract foreign capital, don't even think about me."
"Also, the Xinxiang Road was built by Kushan. Not only are capitalists forbidden to travel, but if any village in front is sponsored by the Xiao family, they won't be able to use Xinxiang Road. Capitalists have money, tell them to build their own."
"Lastly, I'll ask you again, if the taxes are reduced, who loses? And who benefits?"
The mayor's secretary was speechless. Could he say that the public lost out either way, and it had nothing to do with ordinary people like them?
Xiao Xueqi and his brother turned to leave. "Secretary comrade, we're going to Zhangshan village."
The mayor's secretary looked at Li Zhengguo, not daring to respond casually.
Li Zhengguo picked up the telephone and called County Mayor Ji, informing him about the Xiao family's interference.
He also speculated that the Xiao family intended to hinder the development and construction of Kushan.
County Mayor Ji got a headache as soon as he heard that the town had made a foolish move.
He and Li Zhengguo had long discussed that introducing foreign capital would eventually lead to them becoming too powerful to control.
Only foreign merchants would make money, while the common people would toil, and the local finance would suffer losses.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange to handle this. Don't even mention the town; the county doesn't care about any investment from the Xiao family. They clearly have ill intentions."
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhengguo looked at the secretary. "Aren't you going to catch up with them? What if Zhangshan village foolishly signs a contract? Breaking it would incur compensation."
"Capitalist contracts are full of traps, and the kind that aren't told or warned about."
The secretary quickly ran out of the office.
Li Zhengguo raised an eyebrow at the police officer beside him. "Why don't you remind him about some common sense regarding fraud?"
Police Officer: "..."
"I am learning by your side. Once I learn, I will promote it." kanδん
Li Zhengguo: "..." This is a master.
