Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Hide and Seek

Wang Hao had barely left when the villagers gathered at the village entrance began to discuss.

"Do you think Wang Hao will be able to sell those five carts of goods he brought to the county city for such a high price?"

"Who knows? Even Wang Hao himself probably has no idea!"

"I doubt it."

Everyone was sweating for Wang Hao. They felt it would be difficult for him to sell so many medicinal herbs—after all, the purchasing season was over, and no one would come to buy them.

Just when they were about to disperse, they saw the road that had just been repaired and started talking about Zhao Youquan again.

As the village chief of Chen Village, Zhao Youquan had publicly dug up a public road for personal revenge, creating quite the scandal. His position as village chief was likely unsteady now.

But a village could not be without a chief, so the villagers started discussing who would be most suitable to take over Zhao Youquan’s position.

"I think Wang Hao is suitable. He is young and a college student. He has seen the world. Look at him, he has made so much money since he came back to the village, even paying higher wages than others!"

A villager took the lead and shared his thoughts.

"But he is still too young. If he can’t sell these medicinal herbs, all his previous efforts will have been in vain."

Another villager shook his head and said.

"I think it’s just a lack of experience with youth!"

"Then who do you think is more suitable than Wang Hao?"

The previous villager asked again.

"This..." frёewebnoѵēl.com

This left the villagers speechless.

Indeed, they could not find a young person as energetic as Wang Hao in the village—one who wholeheartedly wanted to lead everyone to prosperity and develop the village.

Not to mention the ability, they couldn’t find anyone else with even the intention.

On the road to Chicheng County, five vehicles followed in a line, each loaded high with medicinal herbs, attracting much attention.

They were all very curious, who would transport so much medicinal herbs to the county city at this time of year?

Moreover, what struck them as odd was that these herbs seemed to have just been picked, very fresh. Logically, it shouldn’t be the case as the harvesting season for medicinal herbs had already passed.

"Hao Brother, what are you planning to do with these medicinal herbs?"

Su Lin sat with Wang Hao and asked curiously, seeing his troubled expression.

"To be honest, I haven’t thought it through. I don’t know how to handle them yet, but the road is always walked one step at a time. I believe I will find a way!"

Wang Hao assured Su Lin.

The two of them chatted and laughed affectionately all the way, completely disregarding the feelings of the driver next to them.

The poor driver, seeing their flirtatious behavior in the rearview mirror, was itching with envy!

He couldn’t help but lament that they were dropping dog food right in his car.

Approaching the county city, as they passed the busiest street from days past, Wang Hao noticed something amiss. Usually swarming with people, whether during the day or night, filled with vendors and onlookers, the street was now eerily quiet and deserted. What was going on?

Wang Hao felt it was strange, but his most pressing concern was to settle the five carts of medicinal herbs, so he spared no additional thought to investigate further.

What Wang Hao didn’t know was that all the foot traffic had gone to the street where his company was located.

Chen Hongying had organized a trade fair there, bustling and overwhelming. The crowd had been drawn away by her event.

Chen Hongying had put a lot of thought into defeating Wang Hao this time, turning a small trade fair into a lively event, bustling as if it were a temple fair. The whole street was as lively as if it were New Year’s.

Especially opposite Wang Hao’s company, where a row of tents had been pitched, vigorously promoting the benefits of Chen Hongying’s company, almost glorifying her to the skies.

In stark contrast to Wang Hao’s side, there wasn’t a single person at the door, steeped in silence.

"Aying, our goods will be here soon. Should we go over to Wang Hao’s company and do some promotion?"

Qin Xi squinted his thieving little eyes, revealing a face brimming with a sly smile, as he looked meaningfully at Chen Hongying.

"I think it’s a good idea. We’ll go over and boost his morale a bit, and once our goods arrive, we’ll be able to shame him thoroughly. That way, the whole Chicheng County will see how he shrinks back into his shell like a turtle in front of me."

Chen Hongying briskly agreed to Qin Xi’s suggestion.

"Such a good show, of course, I have to go see it too!"

Ma Boyuan said with a smile as he clapped his hands.

Previously, he had been constrained by the presence of Zhang Xuepin, exceedingly polite to Wang Hao, but deep down, he detested how Wang Hao used Zhang Xuepin’s influence in Le Tian Group to suppress him, hence he harbored deep resentment towards Wang Hao.

Upon hearing Chen Hongying and Qin Xi’s conspiracy against Wang Hao, he too wanted to join in on the excitement.

The three of them discussed for a while before heading towards Wang Hao’s company with a crowd of onlookers.

Inside Wang Hao’s company, the atmosphere was incredibly tense as well.

"Xiaofeng, is everything you said true?"

Xia Xue looked incredulously at Huang Dingfeng who had come forward to snitch.

"Absolutely true, it was that weasel-faced Qin Xi’s rotten idea to harm my brother, he got my mom to source goods from the south and they’ll be arriving soon."

Huang Dingfeng said anxiously.

"Did you hear clearly what kind of goods they were?"

Xia Xue asked, furrowing her brows.

"The door was closed at the time, I couldn’t hear very clearly, but I’m sure that Qin Xi is up to no good. Xia Xue, you should call my brother right away and inform him of this!"

Huang Dingfeng became more and more agitated as he spoke.

"Wang Hao is also bringing over several trucks of traditional Chinese medicine, they’ll be here soon, it will be too late even if we tell him!"

Xia Xue stomped her feet in urgency.

"God damn it, they’re clearly trying to go against our Fourth Brother, watch me not butcher them!"

Sun Lao’er slammed the table and stood up in a swoosh, infuriated.

"Third Brother, calm down, don’t be rash. With so many people here today, we’ll lose if we start a fight, and we won’t be able to run away! It’s better to wait for Wang Hao to arrive before we do anything!"

Xia Xue quickly calmed the hot-headed Sun Lao’er.

"Damn it, are we just going to sit here and wait?"

Sun Lao’er let out a sigh, his eyes rolling around as he suddenly slapped his forehead as if he had thought of a solution. Without a word to anyone, he hurried out of the company.

"It looks like my mom is heading this way, I need to find a place to hide."

No sooner had Sun Lao’er left than Chen Hongying, Qin Xi, and Ma Boyuan arrived at Wang Hao’s company with aggressive postures, followed by a large crowd of onlookers.

"Isn’t this the new traditional Chinese medicine company? The boss is called Wang Hao, isn’t he?"

"Yes, that’s Wang Hao. I heard he’s quite something. He’s young, and he made four million just by selling a Ganoderma lucidum to Le Tian Group last time and generously gave them another one of the same value."

"Wow, that impressive, wouldn’t he possibly take over Chen Hongying’s position then?"

"Now there’s a drama to watch. Who do you guess will end up partnering with Xiannorth Pavillion this time?"

The onlookers at the back started discussing amongst themselves, some believing that Chen Hongying had more resources and confidence, and considering that Xiannorth Pavillion was purchasing off-season traditional Chinese medicine this time.

So they also thought that, despite Wang Hao’s previous success, his chances of success this time weren’t great.

Amidst the crowd’s murmuring, Chen Hongying and her two companions entered Wang Hao’s company...
