Li Xiuyuan laughed heartily: "Haha, you're still shy. Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. Okay, since you think it's a good idea, then go for it. Tonight happens to be Friday, so ask the girl out for dinner or something."
"Ah? Don't you have any social engagements tonight?" Wang Zhitao asked Li Xiuyuan with some surprise.
"You are not needed even if there are any social events. I'll give you a day off." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile and waved his hand.
If Wang Zhitao and Lu Ting really succeed, he will have an ally in the Party Committee of the central town. Not to mention that there will be a three-way balance of power in the central town from now on, but he will also be able to have a say in the town Party Committee.
"I……"
"Okay, it's settled." Li Xiuyuan interrupted Wang Zhitao.
The morning passed quickly. At around 11:30, Zhou Jianzhong from Meilin Village entrusted the work on the construction site to Zhou Junliang.
"You'll take care of everything at noon, including eating and resting. Then, start work on time this afternoon. Keep a close eye on it. Mayor Li will be here to inspect the work tonight."
"Okay, uncle, don't worry."
Zhou Jianzhong went home to change his clothes, called a van driver from the village, and arrived in town at 11:40. He booked a restaurant and sent a message to Lu Zhenhai.
At 11:50, Lu Zhenhai left work early and came to the restaurant.
Zhou Jianzhong, who was in the private room, saw Lu Zhenhai come in and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Secretary Lu."
"Okay, Old Zhou, why are you being so polite to me? Sit down. If you have something to talk to me about, just go to my office. I heard that you are quite busy in Meilin Village. Why are you doing this?" Lu Zhenhai and Zhou Jianzhong were familiar with each other.
I knew Zhou Jianzhong when I was a teacher at the school. The two have been in contact for many years, especially after Lu Zhenhai came to the central town.
Sometimes, when Zhou Jianzhong came to the village for a meeting, he would also call Lu Zhenhai for lunch or dinner. If there was anything in the village that needed help, Zhou Jianzhong would go to Lu Zhenhai and ask Lu Zhenhai to say hello.
Of course, such things rarely happened in the past. After all, Zhou Jianzhong was just a deputy village director, and many things did not require his involvement.
"Zhenhai, I asked you to come here today because I want your help with something." Zhou Jianzhong wanted to talk to Lu Zhenhai first.
"explain."
"It's like this. You know the situation in our Meilin Village. Now is an opportunity. I'm old and will be retiring in two years. I want to push Zhou Junliang, the young man of our Zhou family, to the top. You've met Zhou Junliang before..."
Lu Zhenhai frowned when he heard this. If it was any other matter, he would definitely help without hesitation, after all, he had a good relationship with Zhou Jianzhong. However, being the village director of Meilin Village was not so easy to deal with.
Even if he is the acting village director, he is now the fulcrum of the struggle in the town.
Although he said he was not at the center of the power vortex, as the deputy secretary he had heard that since Li Xiuyuan came to the Central Town, the original interest structure had been completely broken. Now everyone had taken sides, and even Zhang Yaozong, the good guy in the Comprehensive Management Office, was now finished.
You can imagine how intense this is.
If it was the acting village director of any other village, he would talk to Zhang Xingguo and Zhang Xingguo would still give him face, but Meilin Village was the focus.
"Old Zhou, this is a difficult matter..."
