Lu Zhenhai looked at Wang Zhitao with disdain, both of them being young people from the same town. Compared to Li Xiuyuan, Wang Zhitao was far inferior. But then he thought about it again, and he would be even more worried if his daughter really married Li Xiuyuan.
Although Wang Zhitao was hesitant, it also showed that he was down-to-earth.
"Director Wang, could you please tell Mayor Li that I'm ready to leave at any time?" Lu Zhenhai sighed inwardly, then looked at Wang Zhitao and said amicably.
Wang Zhitao shook his head, then nodded: "Secretary Lu, you can just call me Zhitao. I'll go and reply to Town Chief Li now."
While Li Xiuyuan was arranging for people to prepare to leave, on the other side, on the way back after having breakfast in town, Wang Yi was still crying, which annoyed Su Ziying. She couldn't help but say, "Alright, I see you just broke up with your boyfriend. Why don't you stop staying in the dorm and go out for a walk to clear your head?"
"Where to?" Wang Yi perked up at the question.
"Whatever," Su Ziying said. "Going anywhere is better than staying in the dorm."
As Su Ziying spoke, she thought of something and added, "How about we go to Meilin Village? Some of the people from our group who came down to teach are still there. We can go and take a look."
"Okay, let's go to Meilin Village then."
After discussing it, the two went back to their dormitory to pack and prepare to leave. At that moment, three cars drove out of the town government building and headed towards Meilin Village.
Leading the way was Mayor Hou's car, followed by a second-hand Santana from the town, which was considered an official vehicle for town leaders to use when going out. Since it was the weekend and no one else was using it, it was perfect.
Finally, a minivan arrived, carrying Wang Zhitao, Zhang Xingdong, Zhang Yaozong, and several other staff members.
Li Xiuyuan and Lu Zhenhai were in the same car. Lu Zhenhai was a little surprised at this time, not expecting that Hou Peng would also come along today.
Moreover, before getting into the car, he could clearly sense that Hou Peng's attitude towards Li Xiuyuan was completely different from before.
“Secretary Lu, when we get to Meilin Village, we still need to explain the pros and cons to Deputy Director Zhou Jianzhong and make him understand that the overall situation is of utmost importance,” Li Xiuyuan said to Lu Zhenhai.
Zhou Jianzhong had worked hard for a long time, but in the end, he didn't achieve his goal, so he was bound to be a little upset.
"Mayor Li, it's not really my place to say anything about this." Lu Zhenhai tried to decline, thinking, "This is all because Li Xiuyuan changed his mind at the last minute. Why should I come here to persuade him?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, since Secretary Lu is hesitant to speak up, I'll do it."
He was waiting for Lu Zhenhai to say this: if you won't say it, then I will. Don't let the two of you lose sight of the main point of the conversation, or you'll end up pleasing neither side. What's the big deal about dealing with a deputy director of a village?
Li Xiuyuan didn't take it to heart at all.
Meanwhile, Meilin Village was already bustling with activity. The village mobilization meeting was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. because the villagers usually get up late. If you tell them the meeting is at 8:00 a.m., many people might not even be up yet. If you tell them it's at 9:00 a.m., some people might still be having breakfast at home.
The notification at 10 o'clock was just right; everything at home was tidied up, and the weather was getting warmer.
However, many people had already gotten up early and gone to the entrance of the village committee office, hoping to chat with the villagers. Meanwhile, the village committee members came to the village entrance to welcome the town leaders.
