The two actors walked into the county government with sad faces and went straight to County Magistrate Liang.
This was also Li Miaomiao's idea. County Magistrate Liang had a worse temper and was a bit hateful. It would be more appropriate to ask County Magistrate Liang for this matter than Secretary Ying.
"Why are you here? You look listless. Are you in trouble?"
When County Magistrate Liang saw Li Miaomiao before, he knew that even when she was doing the most tiring work, she always looked energetic and not worried at all. But this was the first time he saw Li Miaomiao so pale and tired, and he felt a little sorry for her.
Accountant Wu softened his voice a little when he heard County Magistrate Liang's questions, and his voice was full of concern. He admired Li Miaomiao very much.
Just before he came over, he gave Li Miaomiao some advice, asking her to cry like the women in the village, but Li Miaomiao just glanced at him and came in without saying anything, not even shedding a tear, but she seemed to be in worse spirits than before she came in.
Sure enough, his level was lower than Li Miaomiao's, but the effect was definitely better than the crying of the women in the village.
Upon hearing this, Li Miaomiao glanced at Accountant Wu
Accountant Wu understood immediately and quickly played the victim: "Boss, this is all my fault. I'm too inexperienced and didn't handle things properly. I ordered a batch of wrapping paper from the paper mill and spent most of our village's savings on it. As a result..."
"What happened?"
Accountant Wu also learned some things from Li Miaomiao. Instead of playing the victim, he took out a stack of wrapping paper he had brought with him.
He spent most of the night selecting this, specifically picking out the ugliest part from the wrapping paper.
"Is this wrapping paper made of paper?"
When County Magistrate Liang saw the wrapping paper, his brows furrowed tightly, and his tone was a little uncertain.
"Yes, I ordered a full 5,000 sheets. The paper mill said they wouldn't accept orders that were too small, so I went back to discuss it with the village chief. I gritted my teeth and took out most of the village's savings to order this batch of wrapping paper. I was planning to sell it out after the soaps were packaged so I could recoup some of my investment. Who knew things would turn out like this?"
"Asshole!"
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Liang slammed the table in anger. He knew very well what the soap workshop meant to Fanglin Village. If the soaps produced could not be sold because the packaging was too ugly, Fanglin Village would definitely suffer a heavy loss. This was the hope of everyone in Fanglin Village.
"County Magistrate Liang, I'm wrong. I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. We had a clear agreement at the beginning. I even gave the drawings of Guoan's wife to the paper mill, and they promised to make it for me. But the wrapping paper turned out to be completely different from what we promised. I have no influence, so I went to the factory director to argue, but he was coaxed out by the paper mill staff and I couldn't get an explanation."
Accountant Wu wiped away a tear as he spoke.
"It doesn't matter what happens to me, but what are we going to do with these wrappers? Even a simple guy like me doesn't know much, and I don't think these wrappers look good. How could anyone buy them? The village has invested so much, and if the soap doesn't sell, I really don't know how to explain it to everyone."
Accountant Wu felt bitter in his mouth the more he spoke, and he was really speaking of a sad thing.
Li Miaomiao saw that the time was almost right. Seeing that County Magistrate Liang was about to say something, she spoke first, "County Magistrate Liang, I know that the soap workshop is not just for our village. The county also has high hopes for it and has given it a lot of support. If it doesn't work out, I'd be letting you all down. It's a bit difficult to make the wrapping paper like this, but there are ways around it."
County Magistrate Liang originally wanted to call the leaders of the paper mill over, and thought that Li Miaomiao and the others came to ask him to help solve the matter. He was a little surprised to hear Li Miaomiao say this.
"Have you thought of a solution?"
"Yes, these wrapping papers are a bit ugly, but fortunately, although they are not good-looking, the colors are still plain, so we can draw some patterns on them, so that the wrapping paper can still be used. However, our village has prepared money for the paint, but we still need the help of the leaders and a note of approval, otherwise we can't buy it."
Li Miaomiao did not play the victim at all, but instead told the solution she had thought of, without saying how much work it would require.
"Painted on manually? There are thousands of them!"
County Magistrate Liang looked at Li Miaomiao in disbelief.
Li Miaomiao nodded firmly. Although it was impossible for her to really draw each picture one by one, there were other ways, but she had to say this publicly to show that she had worked hard and made great contributions. Since she had done something, she still had to take credit for it, and she had to let her leaders see her hard work.
"There's no other way now. This is the only way. Although several thousand is a bit too many, we don't have to finish them all at once. It's just a bit more work." Li Miaomiao said lightly.
"But even for paint, we can't buy it without a permit."
Buying things these days is a bit of a scam. Even if you have money, you still can’t buy anything.
In fact, if those soaps were taken to the black market, they would definitely be sold, but it is impossible to do so in the village, so they have to go through normal channels and methods.
"No problem, I'll approve it for you right away."
"Great, thank you, leader! Thank you, leader!"
Accountant Wu excitedly bowed to County Magistrate Liang
The two men got the approval to buy paint and left without mentioning the paper mill again, nor did they ask County Magistrate Liang to make the decision for them.
"Guoan wife, this is really okay. Will the leader just turn around and forget about this?"
Accountant Wu was a little unsure and looked at Li Miaomiao.
"Don't worry, I know a little bit about County Magistrate Liang's temper. This matter is not over yet, let's wait and see. That's enough for now."
Li Miaomiao said so, and Accountant Wu believed it without a doubt, and really stopped thinking about this matter.
Li Miaomiao went to the paint factory with Accountant Wu and bought a lot of the paint she needed.
With the approval of County Magistrate Liang, things went smoothly and the two men moved the purchased paints onto the ox cart.
Sitting on the bumpy ox cart, Li Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh: "At the latest this time next year, our village will be able to afford a tractor, and we won't have to drive the ox cart so slowly anymore."
Accountant Wu was driving the ox cart seriously, and a smile appeared on his face when he heard this.
"If that were true, my wife would wake up laughing in her dreams. She used to be so envious of the tractors in Zhaojia Village that she kept talking about them when she got home."
"That day will come, and it won't be too far away. Uncle Wu, do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it. I wouldn't believe anyone who says it, but I do believe what you say. You have the ability! If Fanglin Village wants to live a good life, it depends on you."
"Uncle Wu trusts me so much?"
"You are a capable girl. I was blind before. Please don't hold it against me if I have offended you. From now on, I will follow you wholeheartedly. If you say go east, I will definitely not go west."
"Okay, I'll remember what Uncle Wu said. I won't be polite to you if I have any problems in the future."
"Don't be polite, I'm just waiting for you to order me around."
The ox cart swayed along the way. When it arrived at the village entrance, Zhang Degen was already waiting there with his men.
