Chapter 310 - 310 Strange Place
310 Strange Place
At this moment, Pang Shuo, who was still at home as usual, finally received the news that a group of strangers had driven into the village.
At first, he did not expect it to be Zhou Xuan and the others. He thought that they were just passersby looking for a place to spend the night, so he adjusted his emotions and went out to welcome them.
As soon as Pang Shuo left the gate, he saw that three cars had already stopped in front of his house. He immediately had a bad feeling and saw Shan Yue and the other two get out of the car unhurriedly.
Zhou Xuan tidied his clothes and walked in front of Pang Shuo. His cold eyes pierced through his eyes. Even in the hot summer, they could still emit a hint of coldness. “I believe you are Village Chief Pang. I’m Zhou Xuan of the Zhou Corporation. You should know my name. The two behind me are also the investors of this year’s charity project, President Shan and Young Master Zhang. I made the decision to visit at the last minute and didn’t inform you. I’m very sorry. I hope I didn’t cause any trouble for Village Chief Pang.”
After hearing Zhou Xuan’s words, Pang Shuo was instantly stunned on the spot as if he had been frightened. A terrified expression flashed across his eyes. Although he quickly returned to normal, this naturally could not escape Shan Yue’s eyes.
He just stood there, his slightly dry lips slightly open and silent, his eyes filled with emptiness.
“Village Chief Pang? Are you alright?” Zhou Xuan asked again.
“Of… of course I’m fine. I’ve only heard of your names. This is the first time I’ve seen so many big shots tonight. I’m really too excited. I’ve really made a fool of myself.”
Under Zhou Xuan’s shout, Pang Shuo finally regained his rationality. His mind raced, and he finally squeezed out a few words. “President Zhou, you’re really joking. There’s no trouble. It’s all of you who allocate funds to our Pang Village every year. Without you, Pang Village wouldn’t be where it is today. You can be said to be Pang Village’s reborn parents. Since everyone is willing to come, as the village chief, I must treat everyone well.”
Shan Yue took a small step forward and a smile appeared on her lips. “Village Chief Pang, you’re being too serious. We’re only doing our best to help those in need. Aren’t you the same? I heard that every family in this village has received your help in recent years. Compared to us, you should be the second parent of this village.”
Pang Shuo avoided Shan Yue’s gaze and smiled without answering. He turned to Zhou Xuan. “It’s already very late. Everyone, stop standing and come in. The environment at home is still a little poor. It definitely can’t compare to the city. I hope everyone can bear with it. If you have any needs, feel free to ask.”
Zhou Xuan replied, “It’s fine, Village Chief Pang. It’s already good enough to have a place to sleep. Sorry to disturb you.”
With that, Zhou Xuan led the way in. After He Sheng parked the car, he also cleaned up the house.
Other than Pang Shuo, there were two other people in the house. One of them was obviously a servant in the family who was in charge of daily chores. The other seemed to be Pang Shuo’s companion, but he was actually his subordinate.
With everyone working together, they quickly tidied up a few rooms, enough for Shan Yue and the others to stay.
Immediately after, the servant at home served a very sumptuous meal. It was not inferior to the food in the Federation City at all. There were chicken, duck, and fish. There was everything. It was vastly different from the environment outside. There was no sign of poverty at all.
Looking at the food on the table, Zhou Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and his low voice spread throughout the entire house. “Village Chief Pang, I think the village’s living conditions are already so poor. Where did you get so much meat for us to eat?”
Pang Shuo had long thought of an answer to Zhou Xuan’s question. “The people in the village are used to living a hard life. Those who have pigs and sheep at home don’t dare to kill it. You’re all esteemed guests. How can you eat rough food every day like us? Therefore, I sent someone to kill the chickens and ducks in the village. Even if everyone comes to Pang Village, we definitely won’t let you suffer.”
Pang Shuo thought that he could bluff his way through with the excuse he had prepared in advance, but he did not know that it only increased his suspicion. In just a short while, Shan Yue discovered many strange things about the house.
