After signing the contract, the village chief invited Lin Chuxia and Su Wensong to have a meal at his home.
This was not the village chief playing host; there were few restaurants around at that time, and regardless of the guests being fellow villagers or even town officials visiting, meals would ultimately be arranged at home.
Of course, the costs of the meals were still accounted for from public funds.
At the dinner table, the village chief was delighted, showering Lin Chuxia with compliment after compliment to the point that Qin Jiang sitting beside felt somewhat embarrassed.
But, observing his cousin, Lin Chuxia was all smiles and adept in her responses, really embodying the saying, "speak to people in their own language; talk to a ghost in ghost talk."
This prompted further serious contemplation, as she silently learned how Lin Chuxia handled situations.
Once the flattery had simmered down, the village chief also brought up the pig farming venture.
