"Haha, good, good, Xiuyuan, there might have been some misunderstandings between us before, and I also misunderstood you a bit. Let's not talk about the past. In the future, if you need my support in any work, at least at the town government, I will definitely not hesitate." Hou Peng reached out and looked at Li Xiuyuan, extremely satisfied with Li Xiuyuan at this moment.
Li Xiuyuan reached out and shook hands with Hou Peng: "Mayor Hou, let's not talk about the past. Let's work together to make the Meilin Village project a success. This will benefit Meilin Village, the central town, you, and me. Don't you agree, Mayor Hou?"
The project in Meilin Village has been completed, and everyone benefits from it; it's obvious that it's a win-win situation.
"Yes, yes, I understand. Here's the plan: tomorrow morning there's a village mobilization meeting in Meilin Village, right? I'll go with you. I don't know if I can do any work, but if anyone disobeys, I'll deal with them for you," Hou Peng said in return.
"Okay, thank you, Hou Zhen," Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
After they parted ways, they each got into their cars and slowly drove out of the parking lot.
Zhou Yi asked Li Xiuyuan where he was going, and Li Xiuyuan replied, "Back to Central Town."
Sitting in the back seat, the lights from the roadside in Huangyuan County shone in at night, casting dappled light on Li Xiuyuan's face. In the intermittent light and shadow, Li Xiuyuan's deep gaze was revealed.
The conversation I just had with Hou Peng seemed like a natural progression, but it was actually quite difficult. Many win-win situations often end up with both sides suffering losses. Why? Because people's desires are insatiable and they are incredibly greedy.
Hou Peng said it was a misunderstanding before. Does Hou Peng not see that he would gain political achievements if the Meilin Village project was completed? Of course he could see it, but he just wanted to control the initiative and interfere in the project.
But now that I've demonstrated my strength, both sides have established each other's status and scope of authority, which led to today's natural conversation.
Li Xiuyuan is not a stubborn person. He is willing to give up some of his interests, but only on the condition that they listen to him and stay under his control.
I agreed to meet Hou Peng's friend in the engineering machinery business tonight because I was giving Hou Peng face. But if I come to the central town and can't beat Hou Peng, and am completely suppressed by him, then meeting Hou Peng's friend again wouldn't be giving him face, but rather following the town mayor's orders.
The two sides have completely different mindsets, attitudes, and levels of importance they place on things.
The car drove out of the county town and headed directly towards the central town. Li Xiuyuan also pulled his wandering thoughts back and looked at Zhang Xingdong as he explained the arrangements for tomorrow.
The car stopped at the town government in the central town. Li Xiuyuan headed back to his dormitory, but just as he arrived at the dormitory building, he ran into Wang Zhitao.
"Li Zhen, you just got back?"
"Hmm, why are you back so early?" Li Xiuyuan asked casually. Wang Zhitao had gone out on a date tonight, and it was only a few hours before he came back.
"Li Zhen, Tingting and I had nowhere to go after we finished eating, so we came back." Wang Zhitao said as he followed Li Xiuyuan to Li Xiuyuan's dormitory.
Li Xiuyuan poured himself a glass of water and said, "If we have nowhere to go, let's find a place to chat and build some rapport."
