455. Chapter 455 Candidate

Chapter 455 Candidate

That night, Chu Xuan accompanied Mu Chenze to Wang Depin's house.

Brought a roast chicken and two pig's trotters.

While asking about things, I also got a free meal.

Wang Depin and his wife entertained them warmly.

Now my eldest son and his family have bought a house in the county town and don’t eat here at night.

Gao Meijuan specially made braised hairtail, Spanish mackerel dumplings, stir-fried three vegetables, and cooked sea cucumber and egg soup.

These are all dishes that Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze like to eat.

Wang Depin and Mu Chenze drank white wine, while Gao Meijuan and Chu Xuan drank red fruit wine.

The red fruit wine is not strong in alcohol, is sweet and tastes very good.

After three rounds of drinks, Mu Chenze finally asked, "Grandpa Wang, who will be the village chief after you get promoted?"

Wang Depin said cheerfully, "Do you want to be the village chief? To be honest, I've already recommended you to the higher-ups. However, they're a little unhappy about your divorce."

Before Mu Chenze could speak, Chu Xuan spoke first, "Chenze and I will be remarried soon."

Wang Depin said amiably, "I've already told my superiors this. They said they'd consider it. Actually, they have another candidate and are trying to decide who would be a better choice."

Even though it was a choice between the two, Mu Chenze was still a little excited. "Grandpa Wang, thank you for recommending me. I'm very satisfied to have a 50% chance! I toast to you!"

"Alright!" Wang Depin finished his drink in one gulp and took two bites of his food before continuing, "Maybe you have more than a 50% chance. I heard there's something about the other candidate that the higher-ups aren't too happy with. I haven't found out what it is yet."

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Chen Ze has the support of Grandpa Wang, so he definitely has a better chance."

Wang Depin and Gao Meijuan both nodded in agreement, and they both had high hopes for Mu Chenze.

As for their eldest son Wang Chenyang, he only has an elementary school education, so based on his academic qualifications alone he has no chance of competing for the position of village chief.

Mu Chenze is a high school student, which is considered highly educated in the village.

Although their youngest son has a higher level of education and has studied abroad, he will pursue academic research in the future.

As the drinking session was coming to an end, Wang Depin specifically instructed Mu Chenze to write a three-year plan for Nanyu Village in advance.

In this way, Mu Chenze is more likely to win.

Mu Chenze naturally agreed readily, and of course did not forget to ask Wang Depin for advice.

Wang Depin gave him some suggestions, and then he could expand on them and add his own ideas.

Chu Xuan listened very carefully and planned to help Mu Chenze write a plan in the next two days.

Two days later, the Nanyu Village development plan written by Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze appeared on Wang Depin's desk.

Coincidentally, the leaders from above came to ask Wang Depin for advice on the candidate for the next village chief of Nanyu Village.

Wang Depin confidently handed over the three-year development plan for Nanyu Village.

"Please take a look at this first. After you finish reading it, we can discuss the next village chief."

"good."

The leader took it and looked at it carefully.

It is a three-year development plan and also a plan to lead Nanyu Village to prosperity.

The leader looked at it and nodded.

"Depin! Did you write this?"

Wang Depin quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not me. It was written by Mu Chenze, who I recommended last time."

"I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. Great! However, I still want to discuss the candidate with you. After all, the candidate I have is quite remarkable. She donated all the hundreds of thousands of dollars she earned abroad back home. Someone who can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars abroad can definitely lead Nanyu Village and the village-run factory to even greater glory..."

Wang Depin was confused. "Who are you talking about? There's no such person in my village! It's true that there are some abroad, but I haven't heard of her returning to China to develop her career."

"Isn't Chu Xuan from your village?"
