CHAPTER 56: CANNOT AFFORD TO OFFEND THIS ANCESTOR

The villagers are not unfamiliar with the ways of the world.

But this kind of situation, indeed, is not easy to digest immediately.

Those henchmen didn’t even dare to make a sound, obediently huddled in the corner, trembling...

After consulting Gu Yuan’s opinion, Feng Fan was particularly nervous, not daring even to make eye contact with Gu Yuan. God knows how timely and crucial that phone call just was!

He really didn’t expect that this girl, whom he thought was all bravado, truly had a significant backing.

With a concise phone call, which appeared pretentious, who knew that in the blink of an eye, the boss of Kangle Company was out of office!

And the person on the phone specifically instructed him solemnly: "Do everything she says, immediately do whatever she tells you, treat her like an ancestor, otherwise everyone involved in this plan will be doomed."

At that moment, Feng Fan’s mood could only be described as utterly bewildered.

To accomplish such an extent in such a short time, that massive background and identity—thinking more about it makes one shiver with fear...

"Okay, it’s fine." Gu Yuan gave him an out, and her attitude was quite amicable.

Feng Fan was simply grateful, overwhelmed with gratitude, almost about to kneel down.

But thinking about how she easily overlooked everything, Feng Fan suddenly realized that perhaps it’s not over. He looked at Gu Yuan apprehensively, carefully asking, "Is there anything else you would like to instruct? I will arrange everything according to your instructions."

"Not exactly instruct, would you like to hear some suggestions?" Gu Yuan asked with a light smile, her attitude very gentle.

But the more gentle she was, the more uneasy Feng Fan felt, stammering, "Listen... listen, we’ll follow your arrangements."

Gu Yuan pointed to the direction behind her, suggesting one by one, "Take a look at the outer wall of the village committee, it’s growing moss and looks quite old, shouldn’t it be painted?"

Feng Fan nodded, "Yes, yes, I will immediately arrange for a painter to repaint the inside and outside of the village committee."

Everyone looked stunned...

Gu Yuan nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I heard from the village chief that the village committee has not changed its furnishings since he took office."

"Change!" Feng Fan said decisively, "Replace everything, I will immediately order new ones, and guarantee they’ll be delivered this afternoon."

Everyone’s jaws almost hit the floor...

Gu Yuan was also satisfied, her gaze shifted to the floor—

Feng Fan hadn’t caught on yet, but Dong Sheng, hiding behind Feng Fan, actually understood and quickly volunteered, "The cracks on the floor are getting wide, need to re-cement it, right? Before I started collecting protection fees, I used to be a cement worker, I can do this, no problem."

Feng Fan admired Dong Sheng’s perceptiveness, he really knows how to adapt in crucial moments.

Gu Yuan nodded again, "Then it’s up to you."

Dong Sheng bowed low like a grandson, "Sure, no problem."

"If there’s anything else you want us to do, just instruct us, we will accomplish it without question," Feng Fan struggled to flatter Gu Yuan.

By now, it’s not just about pleasing but fulfilling a duty. There’s no way they can offend this ancestor.

Gu Yuan said gently, "There’s nothing much here, but the orchard’s fruit farmers worked hard this year, and there’s not enough manpower..."

"We’ll go! All of us will go."

"We’ll surely help with picking fruits." As he spoke, Feng Fan pointed to the henchmen trembling in the corner, "Don’t be fooled by their lean appearance, they’re strong, they can easily carry three bags of rice, send them to do the heavy lifting."

Gu Yuan: "Thank you for your hard work then."

"Not difficult at all, it’s our duty to serve you." Feng Fan’s face was full of a bittersweet smile.

It’s indeed not the work that’s hard; it’s the life that’s hard.
