"Don't be polite, everyone please take a seat." After Li Xiuyuan introduced everyone, there was only one main seat left, but Li Xiuyuan spoke directly.
Zhou Jianzhong tactfully took Zhou Junliang to move a seat to the side, and then everyone sat down.
Zhang Zhihao asked the waiter to serve the dishes, Wang Zhitao stood up and took the teapot on the table to pour tea for Li Xiuyuan. Everything was in order.
During this time, Li Xiuyuan asked about the mobilization situation and office situation in Meilin Village.
"Mayor Li..."
"Director Zhou, this is not work today and there are no outsiders here. Since you are Junliang's uncle, I will call you Uncle Zhou and you can just call me Xiuyuan." Li Xiuyuan interrupted Zhou Jianzhong and said with a smile.
"How can this be possible?" Zhou Jianzhong felt that Li Xiuyuan's aura was a bit strong, and he was a little hesitant for a moment.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhou, Junliang and my brother-in-law are good friends. I've also had dinner at Junliang's house. I still say that we are not strangers. I asked Junliang to invite you over today because I wanted to use this relationship to communicate privately. So please don't be so formal, okay?"
Li Xiuyuan had a smile on his face and spoke gently, but Zhou Junliang, who was sitting on the other side, could feel that this was completely different from the last two private meetings.
During the first two meetings, Li Xiuyuan never mentioned "not an outsider", but his words and deeds gave people the impression of a boy next door.
Today, Li Xiuyuan kept saying "I am not an outsider", but his words were extremely tough and there was a strong sense of distance between his words. It was as if he was calling someone by a private name.
"Brother Junliang, Uncle Zhou." Li Xiuyuan still addressed them affectionately, but with a slight sense of distance that could not be ignored.
Zhou Jianzhong nodded: "Okay, then I'll be bold and call Xiuyuan. It's like this. We have cleaned up three rooms in the village office. One will be used as an office, and the tables and chairs are already packed. The other two will be used as lounges. We need to prepare two beds and some simple furniture. They will be ready tomorrow.
One is for regular duty personnel to rest temporarily, and the other is for you to rest when you are stationed in the village on duty."
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou, it's thoughtful."
He did not refuse Zhou Jianzhong's arrangement. There were many empty houses in the school. Preparing a separate room for himself to rest was just like adding a wooden bed. It was no big deal. Anyway, these furniture were considered the collective assets of the village. He was just using them and would not take them away.
Li Xiuyuan himself was not used to taking turns living in the same room with others while on duty.
"Well, it's as you should, Xiuyuan. You took the initiative to come to our Meilin Village to be stationed. Our village doesn't have very good conditions, so we can only try our best to make the office conditions more comfortable."
Zhou Jianzhong paused for a moment before continuing, "As for mobilization, I've organized a publicity campaign in the village today. I've broadcast the news to everyone in the village, explaining the importance the county and town attach to this matter, and the benefits of the New Rural Demonstration Village project for the village and its residents..."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, turned to look at Wang Zhitao and said, "Zhitao, you're responsible for this matter. Go back and find the people in the Propaganda Office and ask them to write two manuscripts. When you have time, show them around the village. If the town's level is not high enough, contact the county..."
"Okay, Li Zhen."
