Chapter 824 Difficulty in Communication

After learning about this, the company's top management severely punished Zhao Qiang and others, apologized to Qi Tongwei and the villagers, and said they would strengthen management of employees.

After this incident, Qi Tongwei realized that verbal agreements and trust alone were not enough, and a more complete cooperation mechanism and supervision system must be established. He renegotiated the details of the cooperation with the company, formulated strict rules and regulations, clarified the rights and obligations of both parties, and formulated severe punishment measures for violations of the regulations.

In the following days, the research work continued, but the pace was significantly accelerated. With a sound system guarantee, everyone could devote themselves to the work with peace of mind. Through continuous efforts, the researchers finally made a major breakthrough. They successfully cultivated a more effective medicinal material variety. This achievement not only brought huge economic benefits to the pharmaceutical company, but also brought rich returns to the village.

The village used the funds to further improve its infrastructure and develop education and medical services. Children now have a better learning environment and the quality of life of the villagers has been greatly improved. At the same time, Qi Tongwei also organized the villagers to carry out eco-tourism projects to let more people know about this magical forest and the story of the tree spirit vine.

As the number of tourists increased, some new problems also came along. Some tourists had a weak awareness of protecting the forests, and they randomly discarded garbage and destroyed vegetation. The tree spirit vine was very dissatisfied with this, and its mood became unstable again. The vines began to wander around the edge of the forest, posing a threat to tourists.

Qi Tongwei realized that it was necessary to strengthen the education and management of tourists. He set up a tourist service center in the village and arranged for special personnel to explain the protection knowledge and precautions of the mountains and forests to tourists. At the same time, many environmental protection slogans and trash cans were set up in the mountains and forests to guide tourists to travel in a civilized manner.

Thanks to the efforts of Qi Tongwei and the villagers, tourists gradually developed good habits, and the environment of the mountain forest was effectively protected. The tree spirit vine also felt everyone's sincerity, and it regained its peace and lived in harmony with the village and tourists.

Many years later, Qi Tongwei stood on the observation deck of the village, overlooking the entire village and the lush forest. In the village, modern buildings and natural scenery complement each other, tourists have fun in the village, and villagers live and work in peace and contentment. In the forest, research work is still going on, and the planting and cultivation of medicinal materials are also on the right track.

He recalled the thrilling battle with the tree spirit vine and the various twists and turns in the cooperation with the pharmaceutical company, and was filled with emotion. "Liangping, did you see that? Our village and forests have ushered in new vitality." Qi Tongwei looked at the sky and said softly.

In this legendary land, Qi Tongwei and the villagers write their own stories with wisdom and courage.

His heart was filled with emotion for the past and expectations for the future. Just when he thought the village would move forward steadily along this path of harmonious development, an unexpected news broke the peace.

A young man named Xiao Huang came to the village. He looked hurried and found Qi Tongwei with a mysterious document. "Uncle Qi, I was sent by the higher-ups. This is a new plan for this forest." Xiao Huang said, with a tone that left no room for doubt.

Qi Tongwei took the document and frowned. The document proposed that in order to further promote regional economic development, a highway should be opened in the mountains and forests to connect the surrounding cities and promote the development of tourism and medicinal materials trade on a larger scale. This means that the mountains and forests will be developed on a large scale, many trees will be cut down, and it may even affect the habitat of the tree spirit vine.

"That won't do!" Qi Tongwei said firmly, "This forest is our lifeline, and the tree spirit vines have lived here for hundreds of years. Such development will destroy the balance that we have worked so hard to establish."

Xiao Huang disagreed: "Uncle Qi, this is a rare development opportunity. After the highway is built, the village's economy will be able to move to a higher level, and the transportation of tourists and medicinal materials will be more convenient."

Qi Tongwei knew the importance of development, but he also understood the responsibility of protecting the mountains and forests. He called a meeting of the villagers and informed them of the contents of the document. The villagers discussed the issue. Some were attracted by the prospect of economic development and believed that it was a good opportunity to change the fate of the village; others were firmly opposed, fearing that the destruction of the mountains and forests would trigger a series of disasters.

"Tongwei, if this road is built, our lives will definitely be better." said a middle-aged villager.

"But what about the tree spirit vines? And the forests that we have worked so hard to protect will be destroyed, right?" an old man responded worriedly.

Qi Tongwei was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he had to consider the future of the village, and on the other hand, he could not fail in his mission to protect the forest. After careful consideration, he decided to take Xiao Huang into the forest again, so that he could experience the charm and mystery of the forest and the significance of the existence of the tree spirit vine to the village.

They walked along the winding mountain road. Along the way, Xiao Huang was shocked by the beauty of the mountains and forests. He was dazzled by the various rare plants and animals. When they came to the area where the tree spirit vine was, the tree spirit vine seemed to have sensed something strange. The vine swayed slightly and made a low sound.

"This is the tree spirit vine. It protects this forest and our village." Qi Tongwei said to Xiao Huang, his eyes full of awe.

Huang's heart was moved, and he began to understand Qi Tongwei's persistence. But he also said that this plan was decided by his superiors, and it was not easy to change it. After returning to the village, Qi Tongwei decided to write a detailed report to explain the relationship between mountain forest protection and the sustainable development of the village, as well as the possible negative impact of highway construction, and submit it to the relevant departments.

At the same time, the villagers spontaneously organized themselves and expressed their demands for forest protection through various channels. They filmed the beautiful scenery of the forest and the video of the tree spirit vine, and spread it on the Internet, attracting attention from all walks of life. Many environmental protection organizations and experts spoke out to support the village's action to protect the forest.

In this game with the development plan, Qi Tongwei and the villagers are under tremendous pressure. Some people accuse them of being "conservative" for hindering economic development; and they themselves are also worried that if they cannot find a proper solution, the village may miss the opportunity for development.

As time went by, the relevant departments finally responded to Qi Tongwei's report. They organized a team of experts to come to the village, conduct a comprehensive assessment of the mountains and forests, and have in-depth communication with Qi Tongwei and the villagers.
