Chapter 35 - The Gentle Village Chief

On the way back, Chen Yang deliberately avoided the villagers returning home through the fields.

If they saw how many wild chickens he had caught, they would certainly gossip and be curious about how he managed it.

Then they would try to catch them too.

How could Chen Yang share such a wealth-creating method with others?

Carefully avoiding all pedestrians on the way, he made it home and immediately untied the wild chickens and locked them up in the pigsty.

The originally spacious pigsty began to feel a bit crowded with over twenty wild chickens, but there was no other option at the moment, so he had to settle them there.

After securing the wild chickens, Chen Yang turned to look at the cowshed and noticed that the mixed grass he had thrown in at noon had already been digested.

“You eat so quickly, I clearly put in enough for a whole day, and you finished it in one afternoon!” Chen Yang’s face twitched, and he had no choice but to add more grass, thinking that it seemed like he would need to cut more grass the next day.

Otherwise, these rabbits would probably go hungry.

After giving the rabbits their additional grass and scattering some corn kernels for the wild chickens, Chen Yang left the backyard, took a comfortable bath, had his meal, and then lay on the bed to continue pondering his path to prosperity.

Although he now had all these wild rabbits and chickens.

Chen Yang still felt it wasn’t enough.

Because these animals grew very slowly, and his scale was not large, just a few dozen in fact.

Waiting for the day of harvest, there seemed to be a long way to go.

And even if the scale increased in the future, it wasn’t possible to have wild rabbits for sale every day.

So, although animal breeding was a path to wealth, it still fell short of Chen Yang’s dream of making a fortune every day.

To truly achieve that, he would probably have to think of some other methods.

Chen Yang lay in bed, propping his head with his arms as he pondered seriously.

But after thinking for a while and coming up with nothing new, Chen Yang gradually fell asleep just like that.

When he woke up the next day, the sun was already out, and it looked like it was no longer early.

Ding, Ding, Ding…

As Chen Yang was considering getting up to wash up, his phone rang.

Picking it up, he saw that it was from Li Han; they had exchanged phone numbers the day they traded ginseng.

“Hello, what’s up, Li Han?”

Chen Yang answered the call and asked.

“Chen Yang, why didn’t you come to sell wild rabbits today?” Li Han asked in return.

Chen Yang had thought Li Han was calling about the old man’s issue, but it turned out to be about the wild rabbits.

Chen Yang smiled slightly and replied, “General Manager Li, there’s only so many wild rabbits, I can’t go catching them every day.

If I kept catching thirty a day, in a few days the mountains would be stripped bare by me.”

“Er…” Li Han was momentarily at a loss for words at Chen Yang’s response, but after a moment of silence, he spoke again, “So when will you be coming to the county?”

“Why are you asking that?

If I have business, I’ll go; if I don’t have business in the county, I won’t go,” Chen Yang felt Li Han’s question was rather odd and confusing.

“Er… okay then, nothing!

Just asking!” Li Han hurriedly hung up the call.

On the other end, Chen Yang was left completely baffled.

“What’s going on, why ask when I am going to the county for no reason?

Could it be that he’s really that eager to see me?” Chen Yang chuckled to himself, then put down his phone and got out of bed to wash and prepare for the day.

Today, he had to help Old Liu pick up the village chief in town, and this was not a matter to be delayed.

After all, the man would someday be the village chief of Liuhu Village, and since they would see each other often, it wouldn’t be good to have an unpleasant first meeting, so Chen Yang was quite proactive about it.

After washing up and making himself a simple breakfast, Chen Yang went into the backyard to check on the wild chickens and rabbits.

“One, two…

twenty-eight, not a single rabbit missing.”

“One two…

twenty-one, not a single chicken missing.”

Having counted his animals and found none missing since the night before, Chen Yang felt reassured.

Happily he gave some food to the wild chickens and rabbits, then set off on his electric tricycle towards the town to pick up the village chief.

Chen Yang set off at a little past nine in the morning.

This time of day was the most comfortable during the entire summer.

The sun had just risen, so it wasn’t scorching hot.

Plus, driving on the village’s cement road even felt a bit cool.

The cool temperature put Chen Yang in a good mood, and he hummed a tune all the way to the town.

Upon arriving in town, Chen Yang casually parked his electric tricycle by the roadside and then pulled out his phone to call the number that Old Liu had given him yesterday.

The call connected quickly.

“Hello, who is this?”

When the call connected, a very gentle female voice came through.

Hearing the soft feminine voice on the phone, Chen Yang was stunned for a moment—the new village chief!

A woman!

And judging by the voice, she could very well be a beauty!

Chen Yang instantly became excited, cleared his throat twice, adjusted his voice, and responded in a proper manner, “Hello, I am Chen Yang, a villager from Willow River Village.

I am here today on behalf of all the Willow River villagers to pick you up and take you to start your new position in the village.”

“Oh, you’ve come so early?

Then please, trouble you to come to Caiyun Hotel in the town to pick me up!” The gentle and soft voice came through the phone again.

“Okay, Chief, please wait a moment, I’ll be there shortly.”

After hanging up, Chen Yang quickly turned the tricycle around and headed for the only hotel in town, the Caiyun Hotel. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chen Yang was already in high spirits today, and now, knowing that the new village chief could very well be a beautiful woman, his mood improved even further.

Normally, it would take at least ten minutes to reach the Caiyun Hotel from Chen Yang’s location.

But Chen Yang managed to get there in just five minutes.

Looking up at the seven or eight-story towering building, Chen Yang smiled.

Then, he took out his phone and made another call.

“Chief, I’ve arrived at the entrance of Caiyun Hotel.

Have you come down yet?”

“Okay, I’m coming down now, please wait a little while longer.”

“Alright, my vehicle is parked right across from the Caiyun Hotel!”

After ending the call, Chen Yang stared fixedly at the front desk of the Caiyun Hotel, eagerly anticipating what the gentle-voiced female village chief would look like.

Chen Yang stared for roughly five or six minutes.

The gentle-voiced village chief from the phone finally came into Chen Yang’s sight.

The moment Chen Yang saw the village chief, he was almost stunned.

The village chief was truly beautiful.

Even though he anticipated the village chief to be a great beauty upon hearing her voice, he never imagined she would be this exquisite.

Looking up, the village chief had her hair done in a bun, wore a loose-fitting white shirt with black harem pants, and sported sneakers.

This outfit gave off a strong sense of athleticism.

But that wasn’t what captivated Chen Yang the most.

What attracted Chen Yang the most was the village chief’s incredible figure and face, and the youthful and athletic aura that made her stand out from the surroundings.

Even though the village chief was wearing rather loose clothing,

Chen Yang could still discern her impressive figure through subtle details—her proud curves were unmistakable.

“Is she really the village chief?

Why do I feel she looks better than the stars on TV?” Chen Yang, sitting in his electric tricycle, couldn’t help but praise openly.

The village chief’s allure could truly rival, if not surpass, that of stars.

Under Chen Yang’s gaze, the beautiful village chief checked out at the front desk, then stepped out of the Caiyun Hotel carrying a silver suitcase, glancing around in search of Chen Yang.

Seeing this, Chen Yang immediately jumped down from the tricycle and walked over.

With such a beautiful village chief, he had to make a good impression!
