"Old Xu, we're no longer outsiders. I once considered you a brother. Now that Mr. Wang plans to invest in developing Lower River Village, it's a great opportunity for us. Unlike Shanghe Village, we lack many things. Since the villagers trust me, I must take on this responsibility." Hu Hansan spoke steadily, seemingly expecting Xu Shimin's current expression.
"Hu Hansan, I never considered you a brother, nor will I in the future. With your backstabbing nature, you're not qualified to be my brother. I can clearly tell you now, I, Xu Shimin, absolutely disagree with this! When Brother Liu left, he said this place should be for tourism and leisure, not developed into an industrial zone!" Xu Shimin said through clenched teeth.
"Since we're not brothers, I'll be blunt today. I didn't come here to seek your opinion but to inform you out of past relations. Whether you agree or not, it doesn't concern us." Hu Hansan also put away his smile and calmly said to Xu Shimin.
