Captain Zhao could naturally see Secretary Ying's attitude, and when he heard what County Magistrate Liang said, his heart sank.
"Thank you for the compliment, leader. I have fulfilled my mission as entrusted to me. I hope the soap workshop will get better and better and generate more income for the county." Li Miaomiao said with a smile, not at all restrained.
"Hahaha, Comrade Li Miaomiao has such a mouth!"
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, please tell me about what happened after you arrived in the provincial capital. Accountant Wu reported to me before, but he was very vague. I only know that the process was very exciting, but I don't know the details."
County Magistrate Liang now really admires Li Miaomiao. It is not something that an ordinary person can do for a woman to have such courage and solve the problem of the Fanglin Village soap workshop with just her words.
Seeing that Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang were both very interested, Li Miaomiao told them what happened in the provincial capital.
"Actually, I was just trying my luck. If one place didn't work out, I was going to try another. After all, we're in the provincial capital and we're unfamiliar with the place, so we just had to run around a bit. I didn't expect to be so lucky and actually get it done."
"This is because you have done sufficient preparation. The soap from your Fanglin Village is indeed of good quality. Of course, the greater credit goes to you. You have allowed the other party to see the value of your Fanglin Village soap workshop and be willing to cooperate with you."
Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang both knew Li Miaomiao's personality. Li Miaomiao's abilities could be seen from the previous events. After listening to Li Miaomiao's story, they were not surprised at all. Instead, they appreciated her more and even admired her a little.
Captain Zhao was different. What Li Miaomiao said sounded like something out of a play, but Li Miaomiao had actually done it.
It's a pity that such a woman is from Fanglin Village. If their Zhaojia Village also had such a person, she would not be surpassed by Fanglin Village.
"Leaders have a keen eye for talent, so I won't be modest. We have indeed done a lot of preparatory work. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."
"Haha, you're right. There's no need to be overly modest. We should also appropriately showcase our talents."
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, you didn't come here just to talk about this, did you?"
Secretary Ying knew Li Miaomiao very well. She would not come to visit without a reason. If there was no matter, he would not believe that Li Miaomiao came to report to them.
"Hehe, that's why they say a leader is a leader. He has sharp eyes and can see through it at a glance."
County Magistrate Liang laughed when he heard this: "So what exactly are you here for? It's not about school, is it?"
From the recent events, they knew that Li Miaomiao attached great importance to the education of the children in the village and would most likely not be willing to set up a school in Zhaojia Village.
But this matter was jointly decided after discussion by the leadership team, and the situation of each village was also taken into consideration. Even if they admire Comrade Li Miaomiao, they will not violate the principles because of this.
Captain Zhao became nervous when he heard this.
He was very confident before, but now that he saw the two biggest leaders in the county had such an unusual attitude towards Li Miaomiao, he began to have doubts in his heart.
"The leader is right again. I am indeed here for the school. The education of the children in the village cannot be left behind. They are the future of the country. If we educate them well and let them learn knowledge, they will be able to make greater contributions to the country in the future."
This is very Li Miaomiao style.
Secretary Ying looked at Li Miaomiao apologetically and said, "Comrade Li Miaomiao, the decision to open a school in Zhaojia Village was made by our county leadership team after considering the actual situation. The document has already been issued and cannot be changed."
Captain Zhao felt relieved when he heard Secretary Ying say this.
"Secretary Ying, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. Since the county has made the decision, they must have considered all aspects and felt that Zhaojia Village is more suitable."
What Li Miaomiao said was surprising, and even Captain Zhao was a little confused.
Li Miaomiao clearly came here for school matters, but now she says this. Could it be about the quota?
Speaking of the quota issue, they actually held a meeting in their village to discuss exchanging some soaps with Fanglin Village, and used this to control Fanglin Village. They originally thought that this matter could be resolved privately, but they didn't expect Li Miaomiao to bring it to the county leaders.
Captain Zhao was a little nervous, fearing that Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang would cause trouble with the construction of a school in their Zhaojia Village because of this incident.
"Since you understand everything, Comrade Li Miaomiao, why are you here today?"
"Secretary Ying, County Magistrate Liang, you've been to Fanglin Village and you know there are many children in our village who don't have access to education. Zhaojia Village only wants five places for us. How can that be enough?"
When Captain Zhao heard Li Miaomiao mention this matter, his face turned pale and he quickly thought of how to deal with it.
Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang had never heard of the quota before: "Quota, what quota?"
Li Miaomiao repeated what Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu had told her, a look of worry on her face. "Our village is quite a distance away from Zhaojia Village. Getting there isn't very convenient to begin with, and that's fine, but only five children can go there to study. So, whether the school opens or not makes no difference to us in Fanglin Village."
Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang were annoyed when they heard this. Remembering that Captain Zhao was right here, they looked at him.
"What's going on? I didn't know you need a place to go to school. The whole point of running a school is to make it easier for children to study, and you're doing this instead."
Captain Zhao was severely criticized by Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang. He made repeated explanations and assurances and dared not mention the quota issue again.
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, please go back and tell the villagers that the quota issue doesn't count. If the children want to come, they can come."
Li Miaomiao was not very happy about what Captain Zhao said. This was not the purpose of her coming here today.
"No."
Li Miaomiao refused without a second thought.
"We should have Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang, and the attitude of Zhaojia Village. The villagers are not confident in sending their children to school, so we want to build a school ourselves. We hope the leaders will agree."
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, your intention is good, for the children in the village, but the county only has one school quota, and it's impossible to increase it in the short term."
The county is short of funds, and the only reason they were able to allocate money to build a school is because Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang both attach great importance to the education of rural children, and it is impossible for them to allocate additional money.
"County Magistrate Liang, we don't need financial support from the county. We plan to run our own school in the village. As you know, we already built the school a long time ago, and the place is ready. During my trip to the provincial capital, I also got some materials and textbooks for the children in the village. As long as we set up the tables and chairs, the children can go to school."
