Li Xiuyuan puffed on his cigarette, while Wang Yonghua felt aggrieved and humiliated as he admitted his mistake. It wasn't until Wang Yonghua was hoarse and couldn't find any more reason to criticize himself that Li Xiuyuan slowly spoke up: "Mr. Wang, you've gone too far. It's not as serious as you make it out to be."
Wang Yonghua almost cried when he heard this. "It's not that serious. Why didn't you say something sooner? You kept making me talk to you. Now you're pretending to be a good person?"
“It’s normal to get paid for doing the work, but our project is very big and we need a strong partner company. Does Mr. Wang understand?” Li Xiuyuan asked slowly.
Wang Yonghua nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, Mayor Li is right."
"What do you mean by 'requiring strength'? It just means being able to provide upfront funding, right?" Wang Yonghua thought to himself, waiting for Li Xiuyuan to continue.
"This entire Meilin Village New Rural Demonstration Village project, on a small scale, is an important task concerning the rural construction of the entire county. On a larger scale, it is the only way to solve the problems of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers in the country. The first batch of new rural demonstration villages will be the foundation for how to build new rural areas in the future and what path to take. It is a matter of overall importance."
Funding for the construction is definitely not a problem, but we will encounter many difficulties during construction. We need everyone to consider the big picture, have a spirit of dedication, and be prepared to work together to overcome these challenges. Do you understand?
Wang Yonghua roughly understood what Li Xiuyuan meant: don't think about money, grit your teeth and work hard, don't mention difficulties, and be dedicated; you can do without money, but if you ask for money, you will disrupt the overall situation, and then the project can't keep you.
“Understood, understood, Mayor Li. Our company values dedication, and we were mentally prepared when we came to Meilin Village. Don’t worry, we can handle any hardship.” Wang Yonghua quickly replied.
But Li Xiuyuan objected, his face darkening. "President Wang, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'no matter how hard or difficult'? Such an important project, do you think we'd let you suffer or face difficulties? If word gets out, people will think the government's construction of new rural areas is something you're sacrificing for?"
"No, no, no, Li Zhen, I misspoke." Wang Yonghua almost knelt down. This damn Li was too difficult to please. He couldn't ask for money, and he couldn't show any emotion. He had to smile and talk about dedication.
"Alright, your awareness needs improvement. Go get back to work." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, too lazy to continue talking to Wang Yonghua, who had questionable abilities.
"Yes, definitely. Li Zhen, I'll think about your words carefully and improve my understanding. Li Zhen, I'll get back to work now." Wang Yonghua wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly left the room.
Zhou Jianzhong's expression was somewhat conflicted; Li Xiuyuan was so young and difficult to please.
Just then, Li Xiuyuan spoke softly, "Director Zhou, could you go and see if the accountants have finished checking?"
"Okay." Zhou Jianzhong quickly brought over two accountants. The accounts had been checked and totaled 94,500. This project was quite profitable, with a daily wage of 50 yuan. Since there was nothing urgent at home, no one wanted to take leave.
Li Xiuyuan glanced around. The project was nearing its end, and people were starting to collect their paychecks. Lei Yi and the accountant began distributing the money, and Li Xiuyuan sat down beside them.
Everyone who came to collect their money shook hands with me and said thank you for your hard work. Everyone who received the money had a happy expression on their face.
The money distribution finally ended at 7 p.m. Zhou Jianzhong arranged dinner at home, and Li Xiuyuan brought Lei Yi and the accountant from the finance office to Zhou Jianzhong's house for dinner.
