"Miss Zhou, your design has a problem. This area is so low-lying, and you've designed two warehouses underground!"
"Shiliu Village is already prone to heavy rain. If you design two such underground warehouses, the Chinese medicinal materials will soak in water, losing their medicinal properties!"
Just as Miss Zhou was about to introduce the design draft to the villagers, Er Zhu suddenly pointed at the draft and spoke first.
At his words, a flicker of annoyance flashed in Miss Zhou's eyes. She scrutinized Er Zhu from head to toe, a hint of disdain in her gaze.
Did this country bumpkin dare to question her!
Was this guy crazy!
"Get lost, what do you, a country bumpkin, know? This is to increase storage space!"
Seeing Er Zhu about to speak again, Miss Zhou impatiently cut him off. Er Zhu didn't get angry, his gaze was just a little cold.
If he wasn't afraid of exposing his identity, why would such a small matter need to be handled by others!
This project was very important to him, and he would never let anyone ruin it!
"You can leave, we don't need you!"
Thinking this, Er Zhu's heart sank, and his tone was extremely cold.
"Er Zhu, Miss Zhou is a well-known designer in town. She surely wouldn't make such a mistake."
"Exactly, a university graduate is definitely better than you!"
"Er Zhu, now is not the time for you to act out. Hurry up and apologize to Miss Zhou!"
...
Hearing this, the villagers warned him one after another. Even Uncle Liu, who had appreciated him, thought Er Zhu was being ridiculous!
They knew Er Zhu was very capable, but in their eyes, no matter how capable he was, he wouldn't understand architectural design!
This was a highly professional matter. Let alone a fool, even an ordinary college student wouldn't understand it!
"There's no need to apologize. Since you don't need me anyway, I'll leave now!"
Just as Uncle Liu was about to speak again, Miss Zhou, her face pale with anger, interrupted everyone and pretended to be about to leave.
She was the best architectural designer in town. They would definitely come looking for her again, and then she would demand an exorbitant price!
And this was the price for this country bumpkin's arrogance!
A sly glint flashed in Miss Zhou's eyes. She could already imagine Er Zhu kneeling and begging.
A spark of wit flickered in Er Zhu's eyes. He glanced at Miss Zhou as if she were an idiot.
Idiot!
He wouldn't work for this kind of person even for free. How could he beg her in return?
Did she even deserve it!
"No, Uncle Liu, Er Zhu seems to be right!"
Just as Miss Zhou thought she had won, a villager suddenly pointed at the design and exclaimed.
The problem Er Zhu had raised was actually easy to spot. It was just that they had trusted Miss Zhou too much, which was why they hadn't noticed!
Huh?
Uncle Liu and the other villagers were also stunned. They leaned over, half-believing, their eyes full of anger!
Damn it, it actually is like this!
The villagers who realized it glared at Miss Zhou angrily. The admiration and envy in their eyes had vanished.
"I thought you were just country bumpkins, but I didn't expect you to be a bunch of idiots!"
Faced with everyone's questioning, Miss Zhou merely glanced at them, her eyes full of disdain.
As a high-level talent, she disdained explaining herself to these idiots!
Or rather, they weren't worthy!
"What did you say? Say it again, and I'll break your legs!"
"You wretched woman, are you trying to get away with lying!"
"Get out, our Shiliu Village doesn't need you!"
...
This remark stirred up a hornet's nest, making the villagers even more furious. Some had already rushed forward with clenched fists!
Miss Zhou's face turned ashen with fear. She ran to her car like a madwoman, not even bothering to pick up her dropped high heels!
As the car sped away, the villagers were still full of anger!
As for Uncle Liu, his face turned green with rage.
Anger, shock, regret...
Various emotions mingled and surged towards his chest.
He had initially thought Er Zhu was a fool, but it turned out he was the real fool!
He had treated this charlatan as an honored guest. If Er Zhu hadn't pointed it out, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Er Zhu, I'm sorry. I really didn't expect this to happen!"
"Er Zhu, I'm sorry, we were blind and shouldn't have spoken to you like that."
"Er Zhu, you're amazing! You are the future hope of our village!"
...
Seeing Uncle Liu apologize to Er Zhu, the other villagers also rushed over.
Looking at their apologetic and admiring eyes, Er Zhu scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.
"What do we do now?"
Just as everyone was praising Er Zhu enthusiastically, a villager suddenly raised a crucial question.
It didn't matter that Miss Zhou had run off, but the Chinese medicinal herb factory was a big deal.
If they had to find another designer now, it would cost a lot of money and time, and they might not even find a good one.
The villagers' faces immediately fell. They looked at each other, seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
Uncle Liu was also at a loss for what to do. He didn't dare to help anymore, for fear of causing more trouble.
Seeing the villagers' troubled expressions, Er Zhu opened his mouth several times to help, but he knew no one would believe him.
Since Er Zhu began cultivating, his various abilities had improved significantly. Although he wasn't a professional designer, the general blueprint for the Chinese medicinal herb factory came to mind with a little thought.
Then, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a way.
"Don't worry anymore. Leave the designer to me. I know someone!"
Just because he couldn't draw design blueprints in front of them didn't mean he couldn't draw them behind their backs.
As long as they didn't see it!
Hearing this, everyone looked at Er Zhu with shock and admiration. Er Zhu's words were like timely rain, instantly dispelling the gloom in their hearts!
"Er Zhu, you've really grown up! You know all sorts of important people!"
"Alright, we'll leave this to you. We trust you!"
...
The villagers excitedly shook Er Zhu's hands, each praising him before leaving contentedly, as if the design was already complete.
After returning home, Er Zhu skillfully finished the design. Just as he was about to go find Uncle Liu, he saw Uncle Liu hurrying towards him.
Er Zhu had just put the design draft into his pocket when Uncle Liu entered, panting, and asked:
"Have you contacted that designer? If you have, then come with me to town!"
Before Er Zhu could answer, Uncle Liu pulled him out the door.
On the way, Er Zhu learned that Uncle Liu wanted him to accompany him to the town to get the deposit back from Miss Zhou.
Just as Er Zhu and Uncle Liu were on their way to town, Miss Zhou, back in town, did something significant!
She colluded with all the design companies in town, and none of them would accept Shiliu Village's project!
If she was made to look so pathetic, they would have to pay a heavy price!
After hanging up the last phone call, Miss Zhou looked in the direction of Shiliu Village, a sly smile on her face.
