Chapter 1130
People are always selfish. For their own benefit, sometimes they can ignore everything.
Meng Haisheng sneered in his heart. Some people are simply sick in the brain. He made a lot of money, so he should take care of the villagers? If he doesn't lend a hand, he is heartless and ungrateful?
"Uncle Deshou, I can't agree to this. How can it be my turn to take the lead in road construction? It's the country's job."
Meng Deshou didn't expect Meng Haisheng to refuse so flatly. He cursed in his heart: "What an ungrateful person! His surname is Meng, but he forgot his roots after making money and didn't care about the lives of the villagers. God is really blind to let such a person make a fortune."
Meng Deshou cursed Meng Haisheng in his heart, but his face was still smiling, not angry at all.
"Haisheng, that's what you said, but your surname is Meng, and most of the relatives of the old Meng family live in the village."
"Besides, the country doesn't have that much money to invest in Xiashan Village now. There are many villages that are poorer than ours, so they will naturally give priority to helping them."
"Our village is just waiting for the country to help build roads, but I don't know when it will take. You are a big boss now, so building a road shouldn't be a problem."
Meng Deshou continued, "As the village party secretary, I certainly hope you can make more contributions to the village. Building roads is actually a kind of good deed. By then, we can also erect a monument for you by the roadside, so that people passing by will remember that this road was built with your money."
Meng Haisheng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart. He is worthy of being the village party secretary, and he speaks in a set way. His words directly put himself on the moral high ground.
If he refuses, it will seem that he is indifferent to the villagers and is a selfish person.
If this matter is made public, Meng Haisheng and his family will probably be stabbed in the back by the villagers, after all, the whole village benefits from the road construction.
Meng Deshou's intention is very clear. He puts the Meng family on the opposite side of the whole village and forces them to invest in road construction. This move is really disgusting.
If he agrees to build the road, the villagers will only remember that it is the benefit that Meng Deshou has begged for the villagers.
Meng Haisheng is not someone who can be easily manipulated. He knows that there is a big pit in front of him, but he still foolishly jumps down.
"Uncle Deshou, you are right. Road construction is indeed necessary. But my money does not fall from the sky."
"Today I build a road for the village. Tomorrow someone is sick and asks me to borrow money. The day after tomorrow someone cannot get married and asks me to pay. Do I have to agree to all of them?"
"If I don't agree, it means that I, Meng Haisheng, make a few dirty money and look down on the villagers."
Meng Haisheng's words were obviously a counterattack. Meng Deshou was speechless. He has been the village party secretary for so many years and has met all kinds of people.
A situation like Meng Haisheng is indeed possible. After all, there are always a few bad apples in every village.
"Besides, I funded the village to build a road. How should I use and manage this money? I can't go find workers and buy materials myself."
"Don't worry about the money. Just give it directly to the village. We have someone in charge of the accounts, and every penny spent will be detailed."
Meng Haisheng sneered in his heart. The old fox finally showed his tail. It's for the villagers, but someone just wants to get some benefits.
"Uncle Deshou, I understand what you mean. I will consider your proposal, and we will discuss the details later."
Meng Deshou thought Meng Haisheng didn't want to pay, and wanted to persuade him again, but Meng Haisheng asked Zhang Lei to send him away, without even giving him a chance to speak.
Meng Deshou returned disappointed and full of resentment. As soon as he left the Meng family, he began to spread all kinds of bad things about Meng Haisheng in the village.
Those who usually followed him, seeing that Meng Haisheng was unmoved, also followed suit and said bad things about Meng Haisheng.
Only two hours after leaving Meng Haisheng's house, some bad rumors had spread all over the village.
Meng Hailian came to Meng Haisheng angrily to talk about this.
"Is there something wrong with Meng Deshou's mind? What benefit can he get from him coming to trouble you?"
"Of course there is. The money comes from the village. It's too easy for Meng Deshou to get a piece of the pie."
Over the years, Meng Haisheng, who manages two large factories, has seen a lot of things. But he really didn't expect that a village party secretary would do such a shameful thing.
It can be seen that when faced with interests, human nature is really difficult to withstand the test.
"Are we just going to let it go?"
"How is it possible? Since Meng Deshou spreads all kinds of rumors about me in the village, I will slap him in the face with facts."
How can a big boss like Meng Haisheng be threatened by a small village party secretary?
"Don't go too far. Our parents still live in the village. We all have the surname Meng. It will be very embarrassing to meet in the future."
Meng Haisheng nodded slightlyHe nodded. If it weren't for his concerns about Meng Guangzhu and Qu Lan, he wouldn't have said so much to Meng Deshou and would have driven them out long ago.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Meng Haisheng, who grew up in the village, naturally knew all the twists and turns in the village. He knew that the strong were respected everywhere.
He used to be low-key in the village because of his personality, but today he was going to be high-profile and suppress those people in the village with bad intentions.
Only in this way, Meng Guangzhu and Qu Lan would not be harassed endlessly in the village.
When the weak face the strong, no matter how many plans they have in their hearts, they have to weigh whether they have the ability to think about other people's money.
Meng Haisheng has instructed his secretary Jiang Chulin to contact the leaders of Ninggang City. He plans to build roads for Xiashan Village and several surrounding villages. The specific construction method still needs to be advised by the leaders of Ninggang City.
As soon as this news came out, the leadership of Ninggang City attached great importance to it. The next day, the city sent four cars to meet Meng Haisheng.
Those who can sit in the position of municipal leaders are all smart people. For big taxpayers like Meng Haisheng, they will naturally pay special attention.
This time, Meng Haisheng said that he would build a road for the village, and the city leaders immediately saw the opportunity.
When the city leaders' motorcade drove into the village, the whole Xiashan Village exploded instantly.
Meng Deshou brought a few men and wanted to approach and chat with them shamelessly. However, not only were they ignored, but they saw the city leaders shaking hands with Meng Haisheng warmly.
The smile on Meng Deshou's face froze instantly. Although he hated Meng Haisheng in his heart, he still had to pretend to be friendly on the surface and make himself familiar.
