"How do you want to cooperate?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
Ma Hong said, "Vine Forest has half belonging to our village and the other half to yours. Our village plans to use our half to buy shares in the Rattan Factory. My grandfather said you're planning to set up a Rattan Factory, right?"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, "That's the plan."
Ma Hong said, "If you don't set it up, then our village's Vine Forest will never be available for your village to use. You have to be involved for it to work!"
Gu Xi said coldly, "Mayor Ma, you're not going to bring people over again tomorrow, are you?"
Ma Hong laughed awkwardly and waved his hands, "Mayor Gu, I'm very sorry about what happened this morning, and I hope you won't blame me. If you can't swallow this grievance, I can kneel here and let you use the Fire Scissors that Secretary Lai has in his hand to whip and beat me, I'd have no complaints."
"Forget about it."
Hearing this, Gu Xi's anger dissipated by more than half.
