CHAPTER 55: SHE IS SOMEONE WE CAN’T AFFORD TO CROSS

At this moment, Feng Fan was incredibly tense, his heart pounding like a loud drum.

He took a deep breath, then bent over and bowed: "I unintentionally offended you just now, I’m truly sorry. I solemnly apologize to you and hope for your forgiveness."

As these words came out from Feng Fan!

The village head and the assembled villagers stared at Feng Fan, dumbfounded.

What happened??

What’s going on?

The man who was just so arrogant had suddenly made a complete 180, speaking so respectfully to Yanyan!!

This, this...

Not only were the villagers clueless, but Dong Sheng and his group of lackeys, who witnessed Feng Fan’s attitude toward Gu Yuan, were completely shocked.

"Mr. Dong... what’s going on here?"

"Yeah, what’s going on? Why did Mr. Feng suddenly change his attitude and act so submissively in front of that woman?"

"Mr. Dong, could we have offended someone important?"

"Everyone shut up," Dong Sheng retorted impatiently, his anger rising: "How would I know what’s going on? Anyway, maybe Feng Fan is using a different strategy, what do you guys know?!"

"Besides," Dong Sheng said irritably, "she’s just a weak woman. How could she be someone important? Do you guys lack knowledge or brains?!"

All the lackeys: "..."

At this moment, none of them dared to voice a word.

Dong Sheng strode over, slapping Feng Fan on the shoulder: "Why are you being so polite to her? If you ask me, there’s no need for it. Look behind you, I’ve pretty much smashed it all."

Hearing that it was almost completely wrecked, Feng Fan felt a chill in his heart.

Gu Yuan crossed her arms and asked casually, "Mr. Feng, regarding the compensation for the village committee’s destruction, what do you think?"

Dong Sheng spoke up before Feng Fan, "Compensation? How about I destroy the orchard too and then we’ll see?"

Gu Yuan smiled, "Sure, no problem."

"Did you hear that? Look at how timid you are," Dong Sheng jabbed at Feng Fan, "You need to show some presence like me. What you’re doing is meaningless."

The moment those words left his mouth.

Feng Fan’s cold voice came through: "Our company just changed bosses."

"So quickly?" Dong Sheng pointed toward Gu Yuan: "She just mentioned changing the boss, but this is... ah...??"

???

Realizing it a moment later, Dong Sheng’s eyes grew wide, and he looked at Gu Yuan with utter disbelief.

Gu Yuan tilted her head slightly: "I thought the efficiency was okay at first, but hearing you say that, I feel it’s a bit slow."

"..." Dong Sheng gulped, then turned to Feng Fan again: "... she, she, she?"

Feng Fan’s face was pale, frightened as he stammered, "She... is someone we can’t afford to offend. We’re in deep trouble."

Dong Sheng didn’t even dare to swallow, his mind was a turbulent storm.

He shuffled with small steps to stand behind Feng Fan.

Feng Fan gritted his teeth, looking at the fool who had caused this trouble and now turned into a coward hiding behind his back.

Feng Fan had no choice but to force a smile toward Gu Yuan, "We will bear all the costs of the village committee’s losses, is that acceptable to you?"

The synchronized change in attitude, so respectful and cautious, left the villagers utterly astounded.

Wasn’t Yanyan just a recent college graduate, inexperienced with the world, who came to the countryside to start a small farmhouse business?
