I Led the Entire Village out of Poverty and to Prosperity

Tiger Mountain Village, a provincial-level poverty-stricken village, had worn out three successive poverty alleviation cadres, yet it still maintained a stagnant attitude.

After a continuous ...

Chapter 169: Groundbreaking Ceremony

There was silence in the meeting room.

Huo Qianli did not say anything to help. He just let Gu Haitao try to deal with the situation on his own.

Anyway, with him and Gu Daqiang here, even if things really go wrong, the pool in Hushan Village will be able to cover it.

Gu Haitao probably understood this truth, so he didn't stand there in a daze, but smiled and said, "Are all the uncles and aunts surprised? Actually, I feel the same way."

"I had originally planned to go out to work after the beginning of this year. When the village committee and the cultural square were being renovated, didn't I work as a supervisor for a few days? Then I realized that building houses was quite interesting, so I had a few drinks with Boss Yang and his friends. We became familiar with each other, and after a few conversations, we decided to start a business together."

"I was still hesitant at first, after all, this involves a major life event, but Murakami just happened to be renovating his house, and I thought, it's a good thing for me to help keep an eye on it, so I simply agreed, after all, repairing the house is the most important thing!"

Everyone suddenly understood what was going on, but some people pursed their lips and muttered, "You're talking so much, but you just want to get money!"

The meeting room was not very noisy, and this sentence was heard clearly by everyone.

Huo Qianli couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gu Haitao, somewhat curious about how he would respond.

"It's for the money! If not, what am I going to do?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Haitao admitted it directly and swiftly, then he gave the man who spoke the words a speechless look, "Uncle Guang, you made it sound as if your brother Cheng from the house went out to work as a volunteer, didn't you?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard the words. Even the person who was ridiculed didn't get too angry. After all, Gu Haitao had grown up in their eyes. After he called him uncle, who would dare to make trouble with a junior?

After the teasing, Gu Haitao restrained his expression again, "In fact, I know that not only Uncle Guang, but also the other uncles and aunts, when they heard that I was the one to handle this matter, it was normal for them to feel unhappy subconsciously. They always felt that there was something fishy going on here."

"But in fact, everyone is overthinking. The key to the problem is not who will do the repair, but whether the house is well-renovated. You see, what you asked just now is also because you are worried that the house will not be renovated to the desired effect! Then do you think that in this village, besides Brother Qianli, there is anyone who knows what you want better than me!"

When everyone heard what he said, they all nodded, as if this was the truth.

Anyway, this money will be earned by someone else, so you might as well give it to someone you can trust. Once it’s repaired, you can live in peace!

Gu Haitao struck while the iron was hot, and took out a box of cigarettes that he had bought at some unknown time from his pocket and distributed them to everyone, saying with a smile: "I won't say more, uncles and aunts, just think about one thing, if I do this wrong, not only will you stab me in the back, but my mother, my husband, and my brother Qianli, will they let me go!"

The shop owner glanced at Huo Qianli, who had been silent the whole time, and said with a smile, "Haitao, you are right! We only care about whether the house is well repaired. I feel more at ease if you come to check it!"

"That's right. Anyway, the construction team is not Boss Yang's, so we can still trust them to repair the house!"

"Haitaowa, then you are the supervisor we hired! You must keep your eyes open when the time comes!"

"You have to say something, Supervisor Hammer Worker. You are the boss! Boss Gu, you have to fix our house better!"

Laughter gradually rose in the conference room.

After the fruitful meeting, Huo Qianli and Gu Haitao looked at each other and smiled with relief.

Then, the two of them remembered that they hadn’t had lunch yet!

After returning home, he asked Gu Haitao's mother to help cook two bowls of noodles.

Then the two of them each held a bowl of noodles and squatted on both sides of the door, like two stone lions, slurping the noodles and chatting.

"Brother Qianli, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Will Sister Qingyue come back?"

Huo Qianli shook his head and said, "I haven't asked yet, but he didn't say anything yesterday, so he probably won't."

Gu Haitao said: "Why don't you go to Jincheng? It's just right here, everyone is there."

Huo Qianli smiled and glanced at him, "What about you? Are you going?"

Gu Haitao shook his head calmly and decisively, "I still have a lot to do, so I won't go. Just help me bring good news to Qiuyan."

"You two text messages every day, do you still need me to take care of you?" Huo Qianli said with a smile, "I won't go either. I've been very busy these days. The groundbreaking ceremony will be the day after tomorrow, and there are a lot of things to do!"

Gu Haitao chuckled, "Brother Qianli, we are in the same boat again."

Huo Qianli rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.

"Brother Qianli, do you think I can do it?"

"No."

"ah?"

"So do you want to quit?"

“No.”

"So, if you can do it, you have to do it, even if you can't do it!"

"That's right." Gu Haitao laughed, "You are really clear-sighted."

Huo Qianli sighed, "This is an opportunity as well as a challenge, you should grasp it well."

"Don't worry!" Gu Haitao laughed.

Gu Haitao slurped the last bit of noodles in the bowl, then stared ahead in surprise, "Brother Qianli, which one do you think that is?"

In front of my sight, a motorcycle carrying two people drove to the door of the village committee, raising a cloud of dust.

Huo Qianli looked up, his eyes suddenly widened, and he rushed down quickly.

Jiang Qingyue got off the back seat of the motorcycle, took out money from his pocket and gave it to the driver.
