In the end, everyone moved to the conference room of Qingkang Company.

Qingkang Company had three types of conference rooms, from large to medium to small.

The small conference room could only accommodate 20 to 30 people.

The medium meeting room could accommodate 30 to 100 people.

The large meeting room could accommodate 100 to 300 seats.

The conference room was fully equipped.

Director Li and Director Chen each told their subordinates to come over.

Well, this was a people’s meeting. Everyone had to understand the needs of the people.

Gu Qingming, Mo Junyan, and the Shi family’s Shi Lichun, Shi Liqiu, and Shi Lidong participated.

Stoneback Village also sent some representatives to attend.

The other villagers could listen in if they wanted to, but they had to keep quiet.

For this reason, Director Li even transferred the people from the police station over to maintain order.

This time, the government came forward to clarify the situation for everyone.

He could not leave trouble for the Shi family and Gu Qingming time and time again.

“Alright, since everyone is here, we’ll tell you about the compensation for the land.”

As the person-in-charge of this land expropriation, Director Li was also in charge of this meeting.

Many villagers were still shouting, “Director Li, the compensation of 36,000 dollars is really too low. What if we get sick in the future and need money?” Director Li was a little speechless.

If he really fell seriously ill, these few acres of land would be useless.

Director Li said, “If there’s a problem, we’ll solve it!”

After that, the entire meeting was filled with Director Li and some government officials and villagers who kept asking questions. Sometimes, the situation was very chaotic, but Director Li quickly suppressed the situation.

During this period, Gu Qingming and Mo Junyan became invisible at the side.

After the meeting ended, Director Li wiped the sweat off his face and apologized sincerely. “CEO Gu, I’m sorry. Our organization’s work is not good enough. We’ve let you and your family suffer.”

These villagers looked like people who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

The government didn’t dare to cause trouble, so they went straight to the Shi family to cause trouble for Gu Qingming.

Little did they know that Gu Qingming had the country behind her and the Mo Family in front of her. She was not someone they could cause trouble with just because they wanted to.

Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Director Li, you’re too polite. It’s not your fault.”

Director Li heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “CEO Gu, we’ll definitely handle this matter well in the future. This kind of thing won’t happen again.”

Mo Junyan asked, “Director Li, don’t you think it’s strange?”

“Huh?” Director Li was a little puzzled.

Mo Junyan said sharply, “Your previous work is almost over, which means that you’ve already done your job for the masses. You’ve also calmed their emotions, so there’s no big problem. But why did these dozen villages suddenly send people to the Shi Family in Stoneback Village to cause trouble? Just like you said, this is your job. Even if there’s a problem, it should be solved by the government, not the Shi Family!”

When Director Li heard this, he fell into deep thought.

He nodded and said, “President Mo, you’re right. I’m afraid there’s more to this matter.”

Mo Junyan said directly, “Based on my guess, someone must have instigated them to come here. Of course, we have to investigate this matter thoroughly!”

At this moment, President Chen said, “Director Li, 1 think President Mo’s guess makes sense. Someone must have instigated this.”

Director Li frowned and asked, “Yes, I’ll get someone to investigate this matter. It’s just that…”

He looked at Gu Qingming in confusion and then at the three Shi brothers. He asked seriously, “CEO Gu, Mr. Shi, do you have any grudges with anyone?”

After all, those who came to cause trouble had gone to the Shi family from the beginning.

Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “My uncle and the others have always been kind to others. Speaking of which, there are one or two families with grudges against us. However, their families are very ordinary and their standards are limited. They shouldn’t have the ability to incite the hearts of more than ten villages at once.”

“Oh, CEO Gu, can you tell me about it?”

“Let me tell you!” Shi Lichun said, “Shi Bangqing’s family in a village was taught a lesson by our family because they insulted Mingming. However, Shi Bangqing went to work and didn’t come back during the new year. Only the two old ones were left.

“The other is Shi Banghua’s family. Our two families have some grudges over the land and have yet to reconcile. Director Li, I can guarantee that it’s definitely not them who instigated the other villages to cause trouble behind the scenes. They don’t have such ability. It’s still reasonable for them to instigate the people of the village.”

When Director Li heard this, he nodded and said, “Alright, we understand what Mr. Shi said. However, this is just a guess for the time being. Whether there are any suspects or not, 1’11 send someone to investigate!”

“Alright, thank you, Director Li!”

“CEO Gu, have you thought of any family that has a grudge against you?” Director Li still wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “I’m afraid there are only people with grudges against me inSea City. After all, as the heir of the Gu Corporation, 1 represent the company. I definitely have some competitors in the business world.”

Director Li nodded and said, “Alright, I understand.”

Mo Junyan’s sharp eyes flashed.

He said, “Director Li, to be able to instigate the people of more than ten villages to have objections to the expropriation of land and force their opinions on Ah Ming and the Shi family, I’m afraid they must have promised some benefits behind the scenes. Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that these villagers were lured here by the high compensation.”

Director Li patted his head and said with a smile, “You’re right. We’ll definitely get someone to investigate in this direction.”

President Chen was speechless.

Why did he feel that Director Li was always being led by the nose by Mo Junyan?

He had heard of Mo Junyan’s reputation in the business world.

It would be fine if they didn’t offend him, but if they did, they wouldn’t even know how they died.

At the same time, he was a very protective person.

Now that these people had offended his girlfriend and her family, he could not settle scores with these villagers. However, once he found the mastermind, he would definitely not let them off.

Director Chen said to Director Li seriously, “Director Li, I’m afraid we have to speed up the progress of this matter. The mission given by the higher-ups is to plant the first batch of agricultural products as soon as possible and then transport them over. We can delay it here, but the higher-ups can’t wait.”

Many people above, especially those special veterans, had many hidden illnesses. They were counting on these things to help them nurture their bodies and enter the mission as soon as possible.

When Director Li heard this, his expression immediately became serious. “Alright, I understand.”

A moment later, Director Li left in a hurry with his subordinates..
