In the evening, Ruan Feng reported to Xia Meng that the place had been booked and the heads of the farm companies would also go.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Xia Meng put down the pen in her hand, rubbed her sore arms, and stood up...

Xia Meng walked around the table, stood in a slightly more open space, and did some stretching exercises.

Ruan Feng opened the curtain and walked in. Seeing Xia Meng stretching her arms, he said,

"Governor, it's time for us to leave!"

"Okay," Xia Meng took back her hand, "Let's go."

Ruan Feng looked at the casual clothes Xia Meng was wearing, "Do you... want to change your clothes?"

Xia Meng looked down at her black casual suit, then reached for her down jacket.

"No need! It's not like we're hosting a party."

Those profit-seeking guys were not worth her time wasting on dressing herself up.

Ruan Feng, "Okay!"

Zhang Xiangqian was already prepared. When he saw Xia Meng and Ruan Feng coming out of the tent, he quickly drove the car over.

When Ruan Feng saw the car, he took the initiative to step forward and help Xia Meng open the door.

Xia Meng said thank you and sat in the back seat.

Ruan Feng sat in the co-pilot seat.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped outside a brand new two-story building.

This building was newly built by the boss of an agricultural company.

The boss of this agricultural company is named Pan, a typical smiling tiger. He always has a warm, gentle and harmless smile on his face. He smiles at everyone he meets, but few people can get any advantage from him because of his ruthless methods.

When Xia Meng and the others arrived, Mr. Pan Xiong was already waiting for them at the door.

Seeing the familiar car, Pan Xiong immediately moved forward. After the car stopped, he immediately opened the back door. While leaning over, he looked into the car with his round head. When he saw Xia Meng, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Oh, Governor Xia, you are finally here. We are all here, waiting for you!"

Xia Meng smiled at Pan Xiong, "Boss Pan!"

Pan Xiong put his hand on the upper frame of the car door to prevent Xia Meng's head from being hit, which was very considerate.

After getting off the car, Xia Meng took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Pan Xiong.

"Thank you, Mr. Pan, for your help this time."

"Oh, Governor Xia is so polite," Pan Xiong took his hand back. "I am where I am today because Governor Xia has helped us a lot. It is mutually beneficial between us!"

Xia Meng smiled and said, "That's different. My help to Mr. Pan is all within the policy. Mr. Pan is where he is today because of his own outstanding ability."

It is an honor to be praised by Governor Xia Meng. The smile on Pan Xiong's face became even brighter.

Pan Xiong, "Oh, I am so happy to receive praise from Governor Xia."

After Pan Xiong finished speaking, he extended his hand and said, "Governor Xia, it's too cold outside. Let's go in first, please!"

Xia Meng nodded slightly, "Boss Pan, let's go together!"

Pan Xiong led Xia Meng into the gate.

The moment she pushed open the door, a burst of hot air hit her in the face, and the coldness that was wrapped around her body was swept away at this moment. Being steamed by the hot air, Xia Meng felt as if she was soaking in warm water, and the warm feeling made her feel very comfortable.

The floor is covered with smooth tiles and everything around has a new smell.

Seeing Xia Meng looking around, Pan Xiong took the initiative to introduce them.

"This building was printed using a 3D printer and the latest environmentally friendly building materials, so it looks very new."

"Also, Governor Xia doesn't have to worry about the formaldehyde problem. The decoration building materials are all very environmentally friendly, so there is no odor."

Xia Meng nodded slightly. Because her nose was too sensitive, she could vaguely smell something, but an ordinary person would not be able to smell it.

And what Pan Xiong said was correct. They did use new environmentally friendly materials. After it is built, even if you move in the next day, it will not have any bad effects on the human body.

The first floor is the office area. Xia Meng saw many workers coming in and out, busy at work.

Pan Xiong took Xia Meng directly to the second floor.

The conference room on the second floor was at the end of the corridor. The moment Pan Xiong pushed open the door, the sounds of heated discussion inside reached Xia Meng's ears.

"If you don't make money, you're a bastard!"

"Yeah, we can obviously make more money, why don't you let us make money?"

"The economy should be left to the market! We want a free market!"

"That's right, the market should be allowed to adjust the price! Whether our goods are valuable or not should not be decided by her alone, but by the market."

"That's right. What's wrong with food being a little more expensive these days? Scarcity makes things valuable. This is business! The mall is like a battlefield! We can't do business at a loss."

"Right! That's what we deserve, and I won't compromise."

"I won't compromise either. Some grain merchants from other places have already contacted me and the price they offered is not low!"

"Yeah, contacted me too."

"What about the common people, what about the interests of the country, what about stability, I don't understand! And I don't want to understand! I just want to make money!"

"That's right!"

The moment the door opened, the people in the room were still talking excitedly, but when they saw who was standing at the door, they almost subconsciously stopped discussing.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the beautiful woman standing at the door.

What they said just now was very ambitious and domineering. They didn't want to compromise, didn't want to be controlled, and wanted freedom. But now that they saw the mastermind behind the hindrance and impact on their freedom, they dared not say a word.

Pan Xiong did not say anything. He had a slightly stiff smile on his face, but his eyes were excited, revealing some of his true thoughts. He looked like he was enjoying a good show and was already a little impatient.

Both sides looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.

Even when Ruan Feng took a step forward and wanted to speak with a dissatisfied look on her face, Xia Meng stopped her and took the initiative to speak,

"Everyone is here!" Xia Meng had a gentle smile on her face, as if she didn't hear what was said just now.

The people in the room finally reacted, and seemed to have forgotten their previous high spirits. They stood up and complimented Xia Meng.

"Oh, it's Governor Xia! Why didn't you tell me you were coming so I could go and greet you?"

"Yeah, it's been a long time since we last met, Governor Xia!"

"Governor Xia, you really look younger and more beautiful!"

Facing the compliments from everyone, Xia Meng smiled and stretched out her hand to shake their hands, then said,

"Everyone is so polite. Even though I'm not here, they are still discussing me enthusiastically. I'm really flattered!"

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone's face showed embarrassment.

What this says...

Isn't this a mockery of them?

Of course, even if they knew that Xia Meng was mocking them, they didn't dare to say anything?

What can be said?

Faced with such a strong man, what they said seemed to become less important.

"That..." Pan Xiong took the initiative to break the silence.

"Everyone sit down! Everyone sit down and talk!"

Pan Xiong walked over to Xia Meng and said, "Governor Xia, please sit down first! Would you like something to drink?"

Xia Meng glanced at Pan Xiong, but didn't say anything. She slowly sat down at the main seat at the conference table, and then said to Pan Xiong,

"Just drink water!"

Pan Xiong: "Okay, wait a moment!"

Pan Xiong turned around and told his secretary to bring some water, and personally poured a cup of hot water for Xia Meng.

The others stood there, not knowing what to do.

Xia Meng’s prestige in Tangzhou is too high. They can say whatever they want in private, but they really dare not be presumptuous in front of Xia Meng!

Xia Meng saw that everyone was a little uneasy, so she said,

"Okay, sit down."

Everyone then looked at each other and slowly sat down.

Pan Xiong asked his secretary to serve tea to the bosses.

After a moment, Xia Meng's eyes swept across the entire room, scanning everyone's face. Although Xia Meng's eyes were not aggressive, they still made these CEOs feel like a thorn in their backs. When Xia Meng's eyes swept across them, they didn't know why, as if they were blown by a howling north wind, and they felt hot.

Xia Meng crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes suddenly becoming more oppressive.

"Tell me, what were you talking about just now?"

As soon as Xia Meng said this, it was obvious that she had heard what these people had just said. These people immediately felt uneasy and almost subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet Xia Meng's gaze.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xia Meng did not stop, but continued,

"What? Is there something I can't listen to? Or were you just... saying bad things about me?"

There's no way anyone could respond to this!

Everyone still kept their heads down and said nothing.

The air in the room seemed to condense at this moment, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Seeing that no one said anything, Xia Meng snorted softly.

"Okay, I came here this time because I heard that you were going to sell your latest crop to others at a high price?"

Xia Meng's words were related to the business of these CEOs. They immediately stopped being silent and spoke up.

"...yes!"

"Governor Xia, for the land that has signed an agreement with the government, we will naturally sell it to the government at the agreed price. But for the land that has not signed an agreement, Governor Xia... just don't worry about it!"

Xia Meng looked at the person who was speaking, her dark eyes staring at that person motionlessly. The person looked at Xia Meng's dark eyes, and began to be at a loss as to what to say for a moment. But thinking of his own interests, the person gritted his teeth and looked at Xia Meng, trying hard not to open his eyes.

After a while, Xia Meng spoke.

"Mr. Zhang's words...are not without reason."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, thinking that Xia Meng agreed. They immediately became excited when they thought about the money they could earn.

In the first life, because there was no preparation, order was disrupted very early. What money? Gold, silver and jewelry are not as valuable as food!

In this life, perhaps it was the appearance of Xia Meng that interrupted the predetermined ending. At least for now, although the order in some cities has been disrupted, there are also some cities where there is still a group of people silently guarding the order.

Xia Meng looked at the man and said calmly,

"If it was more than a decade ago, no matter what you did, I would not interfere, but what is the situation now, don't you know?"

"Your current situation is much better than that of ordinary people. Are you short of money? You are not short of money!"

"Why are you able to sit here peacefully now?"

Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.

Xia Meng continued, "It's because order is still there! As long as order is not disrupted, the safety of your life and property can be guaranteed."

"But now...there is not much food left in Tangzhou, and the new food cannot meet the demand. I think you know how many disaster victims have come to our Tangzhou."

"If the food runs out and the victims have nothing to eat, what can you tell me about what will happen?"

Everyone remained silent. They had thought about this problem in their minds, but they always had a sense of luck. They thought that if something happened, the Tangzhou officials would be there, and they were just businessmen doing business. What did it have to do with them whether the order was disrupted or whether the victims had food to eat?

Anyway, if something goes wrong, there are tall people to take responsibility, and they just want to make money!

Now that this problem was pointed out by Xia Meng, they were not much touched.

Suddenly someone said, "Then don't accept so many disaster victims!"

"That's right! Since Tangzhou can't afford to support so many disaster victims, why should we accept them?"

"That's right!" Xia Meng was so angry that she laughed when she heard what these people said.

"Tangzhou is so big, can we really stop the disaster victims from coming in?"

"Besides," Xia Meng gritted her teeth, "We are all compatriots. If we ignore them, are we going to watch them starve to death?"

Seeing that Xia Meng seemed angry, Pan Xiong hurried out to smooth things over.

"Governor Xia, we don't mean that. It's just...it's just...since we don't have much food in Tangzhou, we should do what we can!"

Pan Xiong's words were supported by everyone.

"Yes, yes, if Tangzhou doesn't have enough food, we shouldn't pretend to be rich!"

Some people even blamed Xia Meng.

"Governor Xia, we all know that you have a kind heart, but even if you are soft-hearted, you can't take the profits that should belong to us and let us be the scapegoats, right?"

"It is! It is!"

Surrounded by these trivial matters every day, Xia Meng feels annoyed enough.

So Xia Meng was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and said directly,

“You can sell farms without a contract to anyone, but...after that, your farms will no longer be protected!”

Xia Meng stood up after saying this.

"Think about it!"

The world is in such chaos now. If there is no one to guard and protect the farms, disaster victims or robbers will visit them immediately.

This move is really cruel!

But it’s so useful!

Xia Meng had used this trick before, and it’s still... very useful when she uses it again now!

Hearing Xia Meng's words and seeing that Xia Meng was about to leave, everyone suddenly became anxious.

"Hey, hey, Governor Xia, please don't leave. What did you mean by that just now?"

"Yeah, what do you mean by no longer protected?"

"There are so many disaster victims and robbers now. If you don't protect us, those farms..."

Xia Meng interrupted them before they finished speaking.

"This is your business, not mine!"

"And..." Xia Meng glanced at everyone and suddenly smiled.

"Bosses, you are not qualified to negotiate any terms with me now!"
