Dahe Village, office of the Village Chief.
Quite a few members of the village committee gathered here, discussing something. Everybody's expression looked a bit grim.
As for Mr. Qi, he also sat in silence, not saying a word, his thoughts unknown.
"Mr. Qi, we can't just keep going like this. The situation at the local restaurant is really bad now; it simply can't compete with the fire pot restaurant in Xiaogou Village."
"It's time to make a decision; either figure out a way to respond, or if you ask me, we might as well just sell the restaurant and cut our losses while we can."
"I agree, that's certainly better than doing nothing at all right now."
"What's going on with Xiaolong? Why is he doing nothing? It's really baffling. Is it possible he's out of ideas?"
...
Suddenly, everyone started shouting their opinions.
