"What Comrade Li Miaomiao said makes perfect sense. Let's do as she says and send this to the provincial government for testing as soon as possible. Once the test results come back, as long as they pass, I'll approve the construction of a soap workshop in the village!"
Secretary Ying gave a direct yes this time, indeed because of Li Miaomiao's performance. Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu were so happy that they wanted to tell the villagers the news immediately so that everyone in the village could be happy too.
"That's great! Thank you, Secretary Ying, and County Magistrate Liang. When everyone in the village finds out, they'll be so happy! We've all been looking forward to this day."
"Don't be too happy. I promised you that your soap will be approved only if the test results come back clear."
Li Miaomiao also smiled at this time: "Secretary Ying, County Magistrate Liang, your agreement is equivalent to approving the soap I make myself. I know in my heart that there will definitely be no such problem."
Li Miaomiao was full of confidence and had no hesitation at all. If he couldn't even guarantee this, why would he open a soap workshop in the village? Wouldn't that bring disaster upon himself?
"That's great. It's great that you have such confidence. I'm waiting for the day when the results come out."
"With the support of Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang, I believe our village soap workshop will be able to flourish and generate income for our county."
"Young people should have ambition, so that our country can be prosperous and strong! If the soap workshop can be really established, if you need any support in the future, just come to the county to find me." It is rare for County Magistrate Liang to say this, because he really admires Li Miaomiao.
"Thank you, County Magistrate Liang. If we want to run the soap workshop in Fanglin Village, we really need the support of the county leaders. For example, we need the raw materials for soap. Making a small amount of soap is fine, but if we want to produce it in large quantities, we need the help of the county."
Li Miaomiao was not polite at all and climbed up the pole
After hearing Li Miaomiao's point, County Magistrate Liang pondered for a moment.
"Wait for the provincial test report to come out. As long as there are no problems, I will help you coordinate this matter."
"Thank you so much, leaders. Our county has leaders like you who are good and care about the people. Only then can the people's lives be prosperous and catch up with Japanese and American capitalism."
"Comrade Li Miaomiao is very good at talking. If this happens, I will have no choice but to help." Secretary Ying said half-jokingly.
Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu watched as Li Miaomiao spoke and chatted with the leaders freely without any pressure at all. She completely held up the situation. They didn't even need to speak, and they couldn't interrupt.
"We are all working hard to build Tong County, so we have achieved the same goal. Leaders, please don't bother with me about this."
Secretary Ying's laughter had just subsided, but he laughed again after hearing this: "Comrade Li Miaomiao!"
"Captain Zhang, where did you find such a talented person? Look at the set of tricks he used. He has trapped everyone."
Everyone laughed, and Li Miaomiao also smiled, and it seemed that only then did she notice which technician
"Comrade technician, I see you have something to say. Please give me some guidance. I will listen carefully."
The technician was speechless. What could he say at this point? He originally wanted to use the fact that the ingredients of the soap made by Li Miaomiao were unknown and the quality might not meet the standards as an excuse, but Li Miaomiao had already asked Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang to agree in advance to send the samples to the provincial government for testing.
So he had nothing to say at all. He came here just like a decoration, and was of no use at all. He was just here to watch the fun.
"Comrade Li Miaomiao seems to understand a lot, so it seems I don't need to say anything more."
Everyone could hear the technician's dissatisfaction in his words. Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu were a little worried that this technician would spoil things and trip them up. It was obvious that this person was narrow-minded and not an upright person.
Li Miaomiao had lost all her previous cleverness. She couldn't tell the technician was unhappy, and said cheerfully, "What's the point of calling a technician? I'm just a country girl. I read a few books and became more intelligent, so I was able to figure out the soap recipe. I can't compare to a professional like you."
The technician snorted coldly when he heard this, obviously agreeing with Li Miaomiao's words.
Li Miaomiao didn't care about the technicians' neglect.
"Now that the soap is ready, and it's getting late, why don't you stay at my house for lunch? I can also try my cooking skills and see if they're as good as my soap-making skills. This will also allow me to thank you for your concern and support."
Since the help of county leaders would be needed in the future, it was inevitable to establish good relations between the village and county leaders. Li Miaomiao took the trouble to invite the leaders to stay for dinner.
Originally, Zhang Degen was prepared to bring his leader to his home for lunch. He was stunned when he heard what Li Miaomiao said, but he thought this was a good arrangement.
He had tasted Li Miaomiao's craftsmanship before, and it was much better than that of his wife. He just thought that Li Miaomiao was busy making soap, which was the most important thing, so he didn't think of bothering Li Miaomiao with other things and distracting her.
"Leader, what do you think of this arrangement?"
Although Zhang Degen thought this arrangement was good, he couldn't make the decision on his own and asked his leaders for their opinions.
"In that case, let's have lunch at Comrade Li Miaomiao's place. Since Comrade Li Miaomiao has recommended herself, I think her cooking skills are very good. We are in for a treat." Secretary Ying said with a smile.
"That's good, but Comrade Li Miaomiao, you can just cook a few dishes for lunch. I see that the vegetables in your yard are growing well. Pick some vegetables there and cook a few dishes."
"No problem. I planted the vegetables in the yard late, and now they are fresh and tender. They will definitely taste good if fried. If the leaders don't mind, you can pick some and eat them in the city. They are all ordinary vegetables, but they are fresh."
"Then we won't be polite to Comrade Li Miaomiao."
They definitely wouldn't accept anything expensive, but it was just some vegetables, and they saw that there were indeed a lot of vegetables hanging in the yard, and they were very fresh and juicy.
Although they advocated not taking a single cent from the masses, Li Miaomiao's situation was different, so it was also a way of supporting him, allowing her, a woman, to have a better life in the village, but they would later ask someone to give her something in exchange.
Zhang Degen was very happy to see that Li Miaomiao was so capable of handling things. If he could establish a good relationship with the leaders in the county, it would be much easier to handle things in the village in the future. At least the leaders would remember his kindness.
He and Li Miaomiao have no conflict of interest. On the contrary, they are in the same boat. It is a good thing that Li Miaomiao is favored by the leader.
When Accountant Wu saw Li Miaomiao like this, he didn't show it on his face, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
