C95 (2/2)

They wandered around for the entire morning, experiencing the local customs and practices. This place had not been developed yet, and there weren't that many tourists. In fact, there were only a few old women who sold seafood in twos and threes.

”Peace is peace, but the economy is too backward.” Gu Xi Jue walked in a circle and came to this conclusion.

Xia Lan smiled, and did not quite agree with his point of view. ”They are all ordinary fishermen, and you are a merchant, so naturally, your thoughts are different.”

He was thinking about how to drive the economy, how to invest and get the most out of it. And the fishermen were thinking about how to live and work.

”You mean, I'm a businessman?” Gu Xi Jue frowned and asked.

”I don't mean that. I'm just giving examples.” Xia Lan explained.

Gu Xi Jue obviously did not agree with her point of view. ”Nobody would complain about having too much money. Even normal fishermen would want to earn money, it's just that they don't have a good way to earn money.”

As if afraid that she would retort, Gu Xi Jue added: ”Otherwise, what do you think the reason these old grandpas set up their stall here under the bright sun is for?”

Xia Lan opened her mouth but did not retort. Indeed, he was right, no matter what kind of identity one has, they all need money to live their lives, just that they did not find a suitable method to earn money.

After thinking about it, Xia Lan looked up at Gu Xi Jue. ”If … Don't let the villagers move out of the village? ”

Gu Xi Jue raised his eyebrows, and became interested in her words, ”Continue.”

Xia Lan looked at her surroundings, then looked at the old lady at the stall and said: ”Look, the reason why the villagers are against the development of the resort is because they do not want to leave their home to raise themselves. They were born, grew up here, got married, and have children, so they have feelings for here. They were also used to living here. Going out on the island was like throwing a domestic grown-up into the United States. They didn't want to leave because they couldn't adapt to the situation. ”Why do we have to get them out of the familiar environment? We need staff after the resort is built, why don't we just let them stay and continue living? Maybe that would be more acceptable for them?”

Hearing her words, Gu Xi Jue did not say a word, his pitch black eyes became deeper and deeper, staring at her for a long while without saying a word.

Seeing that, Xia Lan panicked a little, wondering if she had said something wrong.

”So when you were overseas, you were so helpless that you could put yourself in their shoes?” Gu Xi Jue looked at her and asked.

When she said those words, he could see from her expression, from her eyes, the predicament she was in in America.

Xia Lan said resolutely: ”I am thinking for the Yattai Group, and perhaps also thinking for the villagers, but I think that this will be the result of a win-win situation.”

”Ah?” Tonight, for one night? ” Xia Lan was stupefied. She had just formed an idea in her heart, that there would be a proposal for tonight, so she wouldn't need to sleep tonight!

Seeing her unwillingness, Gu Xi Jue looked at her and said with a relaxed tone: ”I'll go with you.”

”Oh!” Now, she was relieved. With him here, some ideas could be immediately put into practice. This way, the plan would be quickly settled.

”Hungry?” Gu Xi Jue suddenly asked.

Only after hearing his question did Xia Lan feel empty in his stomach. Looking at the time, it was already past 12.

Looking around, Gu Xi Jue pointed to a seafood stall: ”Go to that place.”

Xia Lan nodded her head. The house that he had designated was the cleanest one in the area, it would be hard for him, a dignified CEO of a Yattai Group, to eat in this kind of place.

After ordering a few seafood dishes along with some local dishes, the Lady Boss was very hospitable. As she served the dishes, she casually asked, ”Are you guys here for a vacation?”

”Yeah.” Xia Lan replied.

”Hmm, they really know how to choose a place. We have a lot of young lovers here.” The Lady Boss mistakenly thought that they were lovers like everyone else, and when she mentioned their hometown, her pride was obvious.
