Brian had to complete the task after being threatened by Albert, or he would be the one who suffered.
"Okay, I will postpone the meeting. But the journey is a bit long, I'm afraid it will be very late if we come back in one day."
Albert had to remind that it may also affect the work schedule the day after tomorrow.
Albert's reminder didn't make any sense to Brian, because he didn't plan to come back at all.
"Prepare the RV, and bring a truck to prepare some food for the villagers, and some stationery for the children."
Albert was completely speechless as soon as he heard it. Not only did he have to postpone tomorrow's work, he had to arrange the work of the day after tomorrow. And their return date seemed to be uncertain.
Brian wasn't going there for work. He worried about Winnie, so he wanted to go there to see her and help the poor by the way.
After another morning of spreading the law, everyone returned to the villagers' homes to rest at noon. Winnie and Emily didn't feel tired or sleepy, so they sat in the courtyard chatting with the secretary.
At this time, the village head rushed in, still looking excited.
"Secretary, the poverty relief workers are here. I brought the leader to your home."
"Good job, good job, you go to distribute things for. I will entertain them."
After speaking, the secretary had already got up. At the same time the poverty alleviation leader also walked in through the gate.
Winnie looked at the door, and was stunned.
"Brian?"
It was Emily who spoke in shock. She never thought she could meet Brian there.
"Have you made up? Why is he here?"
Emily whispered in Winnie's ear.
"No, I don't know why. He's still a leader of poverty alleviation."
Winnie also looked dumbfounded, she also didn't understand why Brian appeared here.
"Secretary, this is Mr. Bennet."
Albert introduced Brian's identity. Before coming, Albert had contacted the secretary. Although he only talked with him on the phone, Albert recognized the secretary at a glance.
"Oh... hello, Mr. Bennet. How do you do?"
The secretary enthusiastically extended his hand to greet Brian.
Brian replied just as coldly as always.
"Hello."
"Come here and sit down."
With great enthusiasm, the secretary directly pulled Brian with a cold face to Winnie, and asked Brian to sit at the round table.
"Mr. Bennet, these two are also from City B, they..."
The secretary started to introduce. At this time, Emily interrupted him to avoid the embarrassing situation.
"We know each other."
"Really? What a coincidence! That's good. People in City B are kind. You come here to teach the law for free, and Mr. Bennet always comes here to help the poor. I owe you a great debt of gratitude."
The secretary was pleasantly surprised. He was also confused. He didn't expect that the two groups would even know each other, and they would meet in this poor ravine.
"Secretary, you are welcome. It's our pleasure."
Emily continued to chat with the secretary, but Winnie on the side remained silent.
She was surprised when she saw Brian and Albert, but she didn't see surprise in Brian and Albert's eyes. It proved that they knew she was here in advance.
How did he know it? Did Doctor Burns tell him it? But why did he come here just to help the poor? But how could he come here in person for helping the poor.
"Sit down first, I'll get you some tea."
The secretary was about to stood up, but Winnie volunteered.
"Secretary, you just sit down. I will go to get you tea."
Winnie turned around as she spoke, and glanced at Albert before turning around.
Winnie came to the kitchen to find hot water, and then Albert followed.
"Albert, why are you here?"
Winnie turned around and asked Albert.
"The company is currently studying a project to develop here in the form of a tourist area. Mr. Bennet is here to negotiate with the secretary."
Albert was telling the truth, although this was a trade secret, he would not hide it from Winnie.
"Tourist Area?"
Winnie frowned at once.
"If such a quiet place becomes a tourist area, it won't be at peace. Will the secretary agree?"
Winnie didn't expect it, but felt uncomfortable after hearing it. She didn't want such a quiet and comfortable place to be commercialized.
"We don't know this yet. This is the first time we came here to talk to the secretary. Mr. Bennet is not sure what the result will be."
This request was made by Brian, and he said everything that should be said. He also expressed his sincerity and explained subsequent income as well as the benefits to the villagers. Now the key to the problem was the villagers.
So, it didn't make any sense to talk about it anymore. He preferred to walk around to see what Winnie was doing.
"Okay, I will take you around."
The secretary just got up and took Brian and Albert out.
While walking, the secretary explained the local customs of the village.
"It's nothing special here, and it's the poorest village in this city. The only advantage of our village is its cleanliness. The streets are clean, both inside and outside the village are clean, and everyone is clean.”
The secretary explained, and Brian listened carefully.
It's really clean here, and it made people feel comfortable.
Although this village was poor, the quality of the elderly and children were very high, and it seemed that they paid great attention to the environment of the village
"In fact, I have devoted my life's feelings and hard work to this village. I hope here will always be clean and beautiful. My personal opinion is against outsiders to develop this village. However, it is so poor that all young people have to go out to work."
"The young people have all gone out to work, and only the elderly and children are left at home. How can it get developed. So I don't have the right to veto your development project. If I veto it, everyone will mire in poverty "
The secretary said with emotion. It could be seen that he had deep feelings for the village, and he would rather be poor than ruin the tranquility of the village.
"We can consider your feelings. We can develop it on the basis of not changing the appearance of the village. This is indeed a good opportunity for you to get rich. You occupy the right time and place. As long as someone develops the village, this place must be very popular tourist attraction."
Brian said he would not mention it, but his essence of the businessman was still exposed.
The more he understood this place, the more familiar it was, the more he wanted to develop it.
What he saw, heard, and smelled were all truer and more attractive than the materials he read.
Everything here was beautiful. Brian even could feel the sweet smell in the air.
The secretary took Brian to a deep river. The bottom of the river could be clearly seen, which surprised Brian even more.
"It seems that there is no pollution here, and the river is so clear and clean."
Brian couldn't help but sigh. It was so beautiful here, simple and soft beauty. It was not easy to find such a quiet place now.
Coming back from the river, just passing the place where Winnie and the others worked, Brian stopped a few meters away, looking at Winnie seriously.
Winnie worked hard, just as hard as a volunteer. Seeing her explaining to the villagers with a smile, a smile touched the corners of Brian's mouth.
Listening to her excellent expertise, Brian had to admire.
She was very successful in everything and perfect in everything. She could still explain the law that had not been used for many years.
"Unexpectedly, she is also so professional in law. It seems that she can make a great achievement if she doesn't work in the software industry."
