Chapter 440 A Little Goodbye Is Better than a New Marriage
Cao Erdan quickly took it back and exchanged it for a box of candy for Han Mei.
"You took the wrong one, it's okay."
Cao Erdan went over, but Han Mei, standing there, was not calm at all.
It took me a long time to recover.
What does "Master Cao" mean?
Was he doing this on purpose? Was he trying to imply something to me?
If he wants to... should he agree or not?
Don't let Sister Mengdie find out!
Cao Erdan had no idea that his small action had thrown the girl into such a state of confusion.
Go into the hospital.
They wanted to give all the local specialties they brought back for the hospital staff to Li Mengdie.
Li Mengdie was extremely busy at this time.
They have to take on management responsibilities, and sometimes they also have to see patients.
Cao Erdan came in carrying two large bags of things. She didn't look up and assumed it was a cleaning lady coming in to pack things up.
"Brother Zhang, you don't need to tidy up my room, just change the trash can bag."
"Who is Brother Zhang? I've been gone for a few days, and suddenly a kind big brother appears?"
"what?"
Li Mengdie was startled. She looked up and saw that it was Cao Erdan who had returned.
He was so happy that he dropped his pen and ran over to jump into Cao Erdan's arms.
With Cao Erdan not around, she was a powerful woman who commanded the entire hospital. Only in front of Cao Erdan could she relax and revert to her gentle, feminine self.
"Erdan, why are you only just getting back? Everyone missed you!"
As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.
Cao Erdan smiled, hugged her, kissed her, and stroked her slender waist.
"I need to have a career, right? I can't just lie at home and wait for you girls to support me, can I?"
"That being said, I also hope you'll be by my side. Otherwise, you can come back and be the dean, and I'll be your assistant!"
Cao Erdan was amused and could only offer her words of comfort.
My ambitions are far too great to be realized by a small village hospital.
Let alone this hospital, Cao Erdan didn't want to stay in Hetang Village permanently.
The reason we didn't leave now is because the village hasn't developed yet.
Once everything has gone according to his ideals, he will retire gracefully, leave this place, and venture to a wider world to realize his ambitions.
But you can't tell these things to a girl like Little Butterfly, because she wouldn't understand, and wouldn't comprehend the ideals of a man like me.
All I could do was comfort her.
After being away for so long, the best comfort is not just words, but also physical comfort.
He simply picked her up and made her sit on the desk with her peach-shaped buttocks.
Just as I was about to lift her white coat, the door opened.
A man carrying a broom walked in.
Startled, Li Mengdie quickly pushed Cao Erdan away and got off the table.
"Brother Zhang, you don't need to tidy up my room yet."
"oh oh"
The man turned and left.
Cao Erdan couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this Zhang Hanzi from our village? He's a bit simple-minded, why did you hire him as a cleaner?"
Li Mengdie sighed and said, "He's too honest. Farming doesn't make money, and his wife has run away. I feel sorry for him, and I can't do anything else, so I let him sweep the floor here and give him three thousand yuan a month. If you don't like him, I'll let him help out in the laundry room in the backyard. But I'm afraid the female workers who do the laundry will dislike him."
Cao Erdan quickly waved his hand: "I didn't mean to discriminate against him, but you need to teach him manners. Doesn't he knock before entering the dean's office?"
"Alright, I'll have someone give him a special lesson later!" Li Mengdie then grinned, "You're still jealous of him? He's Brother Zhang!"
Cao Erdan laughed heartily: "Then you've made me lose confidence!"
He turned around and locked the door, then came back and grabbed Li Mengdie's thigh.
Although Li Mengdie was a little afraid of being overheard, she couldn't refuse Cao Erdan's advances, as their separation had made them feel like they were newly married.
More than an hour later, Cao Erdan walked out, satisfied.
Li Mengdie slumped in a large chair for a long time before getting up to work, but she was in much better spirits.
After Cao Erdan came out, he went to the food factory to check on the two girls, Bi Xiaohe and Bi Yangyang, who were nicknamed "Little Mantou".
But just as I left the hospital, my phone rang suddenly.
The caller ID showed the name of my friend, Victoria Song.
"Hey, Erdan, are you back yet? I have something to tell you, so you'd better stay calm."
Victoria Song's voice came through the phone, tinged with hesitation.
"Go ahead and say it, buddy, I have a really strong heart."
Cao Erdan responded with great confidence.
They are clearly not worried about how surprising the next piece of news will be.
"You know that Ding Wenlin has now gone to Yangcheng to serve as the vice mayor, and the mayor of Yangcheng is also newly appointed."
Song Qian slowly spoke, confirming the extent of Cao Erdan's information gathering.
She didn't know if Cao Erdan already knew about this situation.
"Really? Congratulations on your promotion, Sister Ding! Should I host a banquet? Comrade Xiao Song, just get to the point. Is there anything else that requires me to remain calm?"
Cao Erdan said with a smile, his tone relaxed with a hint of teasing.
Victoria Song sighed: "You guessed right, this matter is indeed related to the land in your village!"
Next, Victoria Song briefly explained the whole story.
It turns out that Duan Chunkai, who was originally scheduled to take office as mayor next month, ended his work at his original unit ahead of schedule and came to Yangcheng City to take office.
Because he had served as mayor of Lincheng City, he was very familiar with local business luminaries.
With this transfer, Duan Chunkai plans to attract business leaders from Lincheng to invest and start businesses in Yangcheng. At the same time, he will also promote the flow of resources from Yangcheng to Lincheng, thereby activating trade between the two places.
Therefore, one company set its sights on this auspicious location in Shuiling Town.
The town has already obtained topographical data of the entire area through drone photography.
They plan to build a large chemical plant on a hillside behind Hetang Village.
The products cover multiple fields such as petrochemicals, basic chemicals, and chemical fibers.
The basic chemical industry sub-market includes many categories such as fertilizers, pesticides, plastic products, and rubber products.
Undoubtedly, industrial pollution is an unavoidable topic regardless of the type of product produced.
Nestled against green mountains and clear waters, Hetang Village has witnessed remarkable development in agriculture and animal husbandry.
Building a chemical plant here would undoubtedly pollute the village's environment.
However, for the municipal government, this is a good thing that will increase fiscal revenue.
Making money is the only truth.
How could they possibly give up the economic benefits of bringing in this company just because of the opinion of a small village?
Cao Erdan was genuinely worried after hearing this, and headed straight for the food factory on the back hillside.
He was pondering the feng shui consequences of building a factory on that mountain.
If a factory is actually built there, according to feng shui, it will suppress the dragon vein and affect the village's fortune.
There are many mountains surrounding Shuiling Town. If they wanted to build a factory, there were clearly more options. Why did they choose this piece of land behind Hetang Village?
Why must they build a polluting chemical plant right next to my food factory?
Is there some unspeakable secret behind this?
If Ding Wenlin were the mayor and the one in charge, I would naturally discuss this matter with her.
However, when Song Qian called, she said it in a very tactful way, but what she really meant was that Ding Wenlin's word was no longer valid; the word was now held by another mayor who had been transferred from Lincheng.
That makes things complicated.
Ding Zhan of the Imperial Gate wields power in security, but he can't interfere with people's livelihood development or local businesses; he has to ask for favors indirectly...
Just as Cao Erdan was lost in thought, the roar of engines interrupted his train of thought. A convoy of cars sped towards him.
