Chapter 457: So Angry That I Want to Overturn the Table
Old Lu didn't even read Zhou Yong's resignation letter: "Brother Zhou, has anyone made things difficult for you at work? Or have you been threatened or intimidated?"
Zhou Yong: “…?”
He just wanted to resign and never expected to cause Old Lu to misunderstand him.
Zhou Yong smiled: "Brother Lu, you think too much, I just want to resign!"
Old Lu: “…?”
He didn't believe Zhou Yong's words because in his opinion, Zhou Yong was less than fifty years old and had no reason to resign.
After listening to Old Lu's words, Zhou Yong curled his lips and said, "Brother Lu, my resignation has nothing to do with age. I just want to spend more time with my family..."
Old Lu was shocked and stared at Zhou Yong: "Brother Zhou, do you have an incurable disease?"
Zhou Yong almost cursed and thought: You are the one who has an incurable disease! He is in good health!
Although he thought so, Zhou Yong couldn't say it like that. After all, Old Lu's starting point was out of concern for him.
Zhou Yong looked at Old Lu: "Brother Lu, you think too much, I'm in good health!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Old Lu fell silent for a moment.
Zhou Yong didn't care what Old Lu was thinking. He spoke again: "Brother Lu, I hope the town can arrange someone to take over my job as soon as possible..."
Old Lu looked at Zhou Yong, feeling somewhat troubled: "Brother Zhou, I can't give you an answer about your resignation now..."
Huaixi Village is not only a benchmark village in Qingmu County, but also a village that is the focus of attention of the province. Even though he was the mayor, he still needed to submit Zhou Yong's resignation report to his superiors. As for whether the superiors would approve it, he had no idea.
Zhou Yong pursed his lips: "Brother Lu, things are not as complicated as you think."
Old Lu looked at Zhou Yong who looked indifferent. He sighed helplessly: "You know the situation in Huaixi Village better than anyone else. No matter who takes over your job, it will be difficult to start work in Huaixi Village..."
Huaixi Village has a lot of assets and the villagers are united. No matter who takes over the position of village chief, it will be difficult to carry out the work.
Zhou Yong raised his lips slightly: "Brother Lu, if it doesn't work, I can recommend a village chief to you..."
Old Lu showed some interest: "Who do you want to recommend?"
"Li Ming!"
Old Lu was stunned for a moment: "Li Ming?"
Zhou Yong nodded, but Old Lu frowned slightly.
"I'm afraid Li Ming is not qualified to be the village chief of Huaixi Village."
Old Lu often deals with Li Ming and has a certain understanding of his abilities.
Zhou Yong said, "Brother Lu, Huaixi Village needs a leader who can protect its assets, not a leader who can lead everyone to develop..."
Li Ming is not good at starting a business, but he has no problem maintaining a business.
Old Lu fell silent. After a moment, he said, "I will report Li Ming's matter to my superiors, but I can't guarantee whether he can be employed..."
Zhou Yong smiled, and Lao Lu sighed, persuading him not to resign...
After leaving the town government, Zhou Yong drove directly back to Huaixi Village.
He thought his resignation would go smoothly, but within two days, the county leaders called him in for a talk.
The current situation is that if Zhou Yong resigns, Huaixi Village will become a vortex of political struggle. After all, it is a piece of fat meat and everyone wants to put it in their own pocket.
The best outcome is that Zhou Yong continues to serve as the village chief and privately trains a capable successor. Otherwise, his resignation will inevitably cause political turmoil in Qingmu County.
As the county magistrate, Chen Pingliang naturally did not want this to happen, so he absolutely disagreed with Zhou Yong's resignation.
Zhou Yong never thought that one day he would be unable to get rid of the position of village chief, which immediately put him in a dilemma.
It would be irresponsible to just quit the job, but if he continued to work, he was already tired of it.
It can’t be said that he is tired, but the workload is too heavy every day and there are too many things to worry about. Zhou Yong doesn’t want to live like this forever.
In response to this matter, the county leaders responded quickly and made it clear that Zhou Yong could choose two capable assistants to share the work with him.
Faced with the various concessions made by the county leaders, Zhou Yong felt helpless. Under such circumstances, if he insisted on resigning, the only ones who would suffer would be the villagers of Huaixi Village.
Not only will the villagers suffer, but any benefits he gets will also sour his relationship with the county leaders, which will be detrimental to the development of his private factory.
Although whether those factories are open or not has little impact on Zhou Yong, he now mainly relies on those factories to launder the money earned from Wei Guoan. If the factories are closed one by one, Zhou Yong will need to find another way to transfer the money back.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Yong went back with his resignation letter, and the resignation storm came to an end.
After returning home, Li Caiyun looked at the resignation letter in his hand and couldn't help frowning.
"The county leaders still don't agree with your resignation?"
Zhou Yong hummed and threw his resignation letter on the coffee table: "Let's do this for now, we'll talk about it when we reach retirement age..."
If Zhou Yong had known that this day would come, he might not have taken the position of village chief.
Now, Zhou Yong has to do it even if he doesn't want to. Fortunately, the county leaders have given him privileges. With an assistant, his work can be much easier.
Li Caiyun smiled and said, "That's fine too. At least someone will help you share the work..."
Zhou Yong sat on the sofa and rubbed his face: "But who should I find as my assistant?"
Although he is an assistant, isn't he the successor to the next village chief of Huaixi Village?
Li Caiyun didn't have any good candidates either, and Zhou Yong gradually fell into deep thought.
With a creaking sound——
Ma San arrived, and Zhou Yong's wandering thoughts were pulled back to reality.
"San, didn't you go to the factory today?"
Ma San shook his head and sat down on the sofa: "I helped Yuanyuan with her homework this morning. This girl almost pissed me off to death..."
Ma Yichen's three brothers never gave Ma San and Liu Juan any worries about their studies, but when it came to Ma Yuan, the couple didn't know what to do with their daughter.
Li Caiyun smiled and said, "Yuanyuan just doesn't have the hang of studying. You can teach her slowly."
When Zhou Kerou was in the second and third grades of elementary school, her math grades were terrible. But in the second half of the fourth grade, she suddenly became interested in math.
After hearing what Zhou Yong said, Ma San felt even more depressed: "Nan Nan was not smart at that time, and Yuan Yuan was just stupid. They can't be compared..."
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "How can you say that about your own daughter? If Yuanyuan knew, she would definitely be angry."
Ma San smiled and started chatting with Zhou Yong. Li Caiyun looked at the time and drove to Hongqi Town.
Living in trivialities and chaos day after day, time seems to have been installed with an accelerator, passing by silently. It was not until the bell of 1996 rang inadvertently that Zhou Yong realized that time had passed quietly.
In this year's work arrangements, Zhou Yong chose the path of preserving the business. Because he knew that a financial crisis would inevitably come in 1997, and the country would also be affected. Many industries would face severe tests and become extremely depressed.
In this situation, maintaining the business is the only way out; as for starting a business, that is not feasible.
In April 1996, Li Jingen's major life event was on the agenda. However, when the parents of both sides were discussing the marriage, Zhou Yong's face gradually became gloomy at the dinner table. Li Caiyun stared at her future mother-in-law and was so angry that she wanted to overturn the table.
