"Teacher Su, Teacher Wang, are you going back to town?" Li Xiuyuan asked, rolling down the car window.
Su Ziying and Wang Yi's eyes lit up when they saw Li Xiuyuan. Before Su Ziying could speak, Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, back to town."
"Then get in the car, there are still seats available." Li Xiuyuan said, and Wang Zhitao, who was standing next to him, had already opened the car door and invited him in.
The car continued on its way. Li Xiuyuan didn't ask the two how they got there. Instead, he introduced their identities to Wang Zhitao and the others.
"These are all teachers from our town's middle school. Teacher Wang was admitted this year, and Teacher Su is a volunteer teacher. Both teachers are very young, but they are willing to practice their educational philosophy in a place like our central town. This dedication and perseverance is truly admirable."
Especially Teacher Su, who came all the way from the provincial capital to teach in our area, crossing thousands of miles to pass on the torch of knowledge…
Li Xiuyuan immediately elevated the matter to a higher level by saying, "I don't have any personal relationship with these two young female teachers. It's just that their dedication and commitment to education moved me deeply."
I got to know them because I care about education.
Li Xiuyuan set the tone, and the others followed suit, though their praise was nowhere near as good as Li Xiuyuan's. Wang Yi, however, had never experienced anything like this before, and her face flushed red. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Su Ziying could roughly see through Li Xiuyuan's intentions after listening to his words. As expected of the deputy mayor, he really has the ability. You can't tell anything from him when he's running on the playground, but it's very obvious now.
The car drove back to the central town, where they dropped off the two people at the entrance of the town's middle school. Li Xiuyuan then went to the town government to change into his own car, picked up Zhou Yi, and headed straight to the county. He had a dinner appointment with Hou Peng that evening.
Actually, inviting Wang Zhitao would be the most appropriate, but right now Wang Zhitao's most important thing is his relationship with Lu Ting. Anyone can drive, but if Wang Zhitao and Lu Ting can settle things, then he'll have support at the town party committee meetings in the future.
Lu Zhenhai is drinking in Meilin Village tonight, and I don't know when he will be back.
Meanwhile, at Xiaokang Restaurant in Huangyuan County, Hou Peng was already waiting with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was somewhat anxious and kept checking his watch.
"Mayor, shall I go out and greet them?" the middle-aged man said.
"Yonghua, do you know Li Xiuyuan? Besides, there are quite a few leaders coming and going at Xiaokang Restaurant. If you go out to greet him, it won't look good if people see you," Hou Peng said, shaking his head.
Wang Yonghua was his high school classmate, and the two had a good relationship. Wang Yonghua's family had some connections in the Housing and Construction Bureau, otherwise they wouldn't have been in the machinery rental business.
In the construction industry in a county town, you can lack everything, but you absolutely cannot lack connections.
"Yes, yes, the mayor is right." Wang Yonghua nodded quickly and sat down again. He had his eye on the Meilin Village project last year. It was a big project, but it was ultimately snatched away by the Tian Zhijun brothers.
