Quit a Million-Year Salary to Return Home, Got Chased Away—Then Made the Neighboring Village Rich to Slap Faces

Quit a Million-Year Salary to Return Home, Got Chased Away—Then Made the Neighboring Village Rich to Slap Faces Plot:

Gu Ye, a finance graduate from a top university, quit his million-year salary job at a Shanghai investment bank and returned to Gujia Village at the foot of the Dabie Mountains, aiming to lift villagers out of poverty with the "Internet + agricultural products" model. He spent his own money to build cold storage and secure live-stream partnerships, and just as he got villagers' oranges sold at a high price, Village Secretary Gu Dahai—jealous of his influence—spread rumors that Gu had "embezzled live-stream commissions". The villagers, who once saw him as a "golden phoenix", instantly turned against him: they surrounded his house calling him an "ungrateful fraud" and even threw his luggage out of the village. Heartbroken, Gu Ye moved to neighboring Lijia Village, using the "cooperative + e-commerce" model to turn chestnuts into a viral product. In a year, Lijia's per capita income doubled and a new village committee was built. When Gujia's oranges rotted in the fields and villagers confronted Gu Dahai, they learned the "embezzlement" was a lie to protect his position—they had driven away their "savior" with their own hands. Now, they can only hold rotten oranges and kneel at Lijia's cooperative, begging Gu Ye to "come back as their leader".
