"Uncle Zhou, it's not enough to just broadcast this. You village cadres need to go deep into the village, spread the word to the villagers, sit down and talk..."
"Yes, yes..." Zhou Jianzhong nodded repeatedly.
In terms of address, Li Xiuyuan called him Uncle Zhou, but in reality, it was still Li Xiuyuan who gave orders, and he responded repeatedly like a junior.
At this time, the food and wine arrived. Li Xiuyuan appropriately stopped talking about work and turned the topic to life. Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere in the private room finally relaxed.
Zhang Zhihao, who had been sitting next to him, felt that the depressing atmosphere had finally dissipated.
Li Xiuyuan also started a conversation with Zhou Junliang and asked about his wife's illness and the situation at home.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Junliang spoke of his family's difficulties with some bitterness, but Zhou Jianzhong's eyes flashed with brilliance. Since Li Xiuyuan took the initiative to ask about this situation, there was no need to complain. It would be more appropriate to ask Zhou Junliang to be the acting village chief later.
Li Xiuyuan has a strong aura, but he is a young man after all. Young people have a good side in their bones and are compassionate. They are not like some old foxes in the system who are used to the hardships of life and these things cannot move them at all.
Because I have seen too much suffering in life.
The atmosphere in the private room became lively, and Li Xiuyuan gave up the initiative. Most of the time, he listened to everyone chatting about family matters, and sometimes he would interject a word or two, but every time at this time, everyone would listen quietly and no one dared to interrupt.
Li Xiuyuan knew that the strong attitude he showed when he came in was still useful. Although today's dinner was a private dinner, they were not talking about trivial matters in life, nor were they a dinner to bring people closer together or enhance their feelings.
If it was just an ordinary dinner between friends, Li Xiuyuan would not be so aggressive right from the start.
To put it bluntly, this dinner is about discussing work. If you don't grasp the right degree, it will cause others to raise their expectations psychologically and even change their mentality. Therefore, you must take the initiative and control the pace of the dinner.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Xiuyuan put down the wine glass in his hand and the smile on his face faded a little. Zhou Jianzhong and Zhou Junliang were also shocked, they knew that the critical moment was about to come.
Now that the dinner is over, it’s time to talk about business.
Before this, if we didn't drink enough wine, the conversation would be dry. If we continue drinking and get too drunk, there will be nothing to talk about.
"Uncle Zhou."
"Why."
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Deputy Secretary Lu in the town?" Li Xiuyuan's first sentence stunned Zhou Jianzhong. He originally thought that this should be his own secret. Not many people in the town knew about it, not to mention that Li Xiuyuan was still a young man. He also wanted to use this as a trump card. If Li Xiuyuan was willing to support Zhou Junliang, he could also help.
Unexpectedly, before the real business even started, Li Xiuyuan's first words revealed the hidden card.
Seeing Zhou Jianzhong's stunned look, Li Xiuyuan could guess what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhou, this isn't a secret, so why not tell me?"
