Chapter 103: Special Guests

After going to the provincial city to attend school, Xie Chaochao went home less often. On average, she went home once a month. Xie Zhou would send a chauffeur to pick her up. Of course, he would also pick her up himself sometimes.

Xie Chaochao, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the trees and mountains that kept flashing past outside the window. She could clearly feel that she was getting closer and closer to home. The last time she came home was a few months ago. Thinking of this, she had a lot of thoughts.

“Miss, we’re almost there!” The chauffeur in front said.

“Okay,” Xie Chaochao, who was sitting at the back, replied symbolically. She seemed to be in a bad mood.

“Miss, don’t be angry. Boss really planned to pick you up himself this time. He really had something on at the last minute. He had no choice.” The chauffeur, Old Li, started explaining to her.

He looked to be in his fifties, but he was very energetic. Back then, he did not earn much money from working outside for decades. He had only found a way out after returning to his hometown and becoming Xie Zhou’s chauffeur. He even got to earn a high income.

He had always been very grateful to Xie Zhou for his kindness. At the same time, he had also seen Xie Zhou’s efforts to make the villagers live better lives.

“Uncle Zhao, I know. I’m not angry with him, really!” Xie Chaochao replied. Instead of being angry, she had mixed feelings.

After going to school in the big city, Xie Chaochao experienced the prosperity of the big city. When she walked out of the house and walked on the streets, she also felt very small.

This made her miss her hometown even more. She still remembered Xu Shan and the rest’s expressions when they found out that she was going to the provincial capital to study.

Although Xu Shan was very reluctant, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he started learning uncharacteristically. He went from the bottom of the cohort to the top 100 of the cohort, but he was still a few points behind. After that, Xie Chaochao hadn’t seen Xu Shan again. Although she had learned a lot about him from Fatty, who seemed to have gone to a high school in the county, he was still very hardworking. Fatty even suspected that he had gone crazy…

Xie Chaochao smiled, but she was also very worried. She really hoped that nothing had happened to him.

When she reached home, the moment Xie Chaochao got out of the car, she realized that something was wrong. There were several luxury cars parked at the entrance, and there seemed to be a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the courtyard.

The village chief, Sun Chengfu, had been standing at the entrance. When he saw the Xie family’s car return, he hurriedly ran over.

“Little girl, you’re finally back. We were so anxious!”

“What’s wrong, Uncle Chengfu? What happened?” Xie Chaochao asked curiously.

“I’m puzzled too. A group of guests came to your house. I wonder where they are from. Hurry up and take a look!” Sun Chengfu said in a panic.

Xie Chaochao found it very strange. This was the first time she had seen the village chief so flustered. In the past, she had seen Sun Chengfu talk to the leaders of the city and even the province, but she had never seen him so flustered.

“Uncle Chengfu, don’t be anxious. Let’s calm down. Who are they?”

“To be honest, I’m not sure either, but the leaders of the province are all bowing to them. They might even be high-ranking officials from the capital!”

“People from the capital?!” Xie Chaochao was stunned. Although Shanbai Village had developed very well in the past few years, she didn’t think it was worthy of a high-ranking official from the capital to specially make a trip here. Moreover, seeing the village chief’s attitude, he was completely unprepared for this matter. Clearly, the other party had made a surprise visit. However, why did they come to her house instead of the village chief’s house?
