"Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you so much, I don't know how to thank you enough..." Wang Yonghua looked at Li Xiuyuan with great emotion, especially since Li Xiuyuan had never accepted anything valuable from him.
Li Xiuyuan interrupted Wang Yonghua with a smile: "President Wang, please don't get excited, listen to me."
Wang Yonghua immediately nodded and obediently sat down.
"I do have this idea, but as you know, although I am in charge of this project, many leaders in the town have other ideas. Whether this project can proceed according to my ideas or not still depends on the opinions of other leaders in the town."
As Li Xiuyuan spoke, Wang Yonghua's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't react for a moment.
Li Xiuyuan could only be more explicit: "Later, you should arrange to have a meal with Mayor Hou, and let's see what Mayor Hou thinks about this matter first."
Wang Yonghua then realized what was going on: "I understand, I understand, Mayor Li. Don't worry, no matter what it takes, I will definitely persuade Mayor Hou to support you."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
After expressing his gratitude repeatedly, Wang Yonghua left Li Xiuyuan's office.
After seeing Wang Yonghua off, Li Xiuyuan was about to take out his phone to call Zhang Yaozong. At noon, he had asked Zhang Xingdong about the situation of the other members of the town's Party Committee.
But Zhang Yaozong can't be let off the hook either. Zhang Yaozong has worked in the town longer than Zhang Xingdong. Although he seems like a nice guy on the surface, he is actually very knowledgeable about the town's situation and has a clear mind. He's just too old to compete.
However, before Li Xiuyuan could make the call, his phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was his brother-in-law, Zhang Zhihao, calling, so he answered it.
"Brother-in-law."
"Xiuyuan, are you busy? Did I disturb your work?" Zhang Zhihao's voice came from the phone.
Li Xiuyuan listened with some helplessness. What did he mean by saying, "Busy? Did I disturb your work?" It meant that he knew he had disturbed her, but he was unwilling to take responsibility.
Instead, I'd rather you take the initiative to say, "I'm not busy, I didn't bother you." It seems like that would make me feel a little better.
Li Xiuyuan never said that he was too busy to answer his family's calls. He would not answer if he was busy, and if he could answer, it meant that he was not that busy. They were all family, and he should be polite to them.
To be polite, you would say, "Did I disturb your work?" That would be a polite way to start a conversation. But to start with, "Busy? Did I disturb your work?", leaves the listener feeling a bit helpless.
However, since this was his brother-in-law, Li Xiuyuan didn't mind: "It's alright, is there something you need, brother-in-law?"
"Hmm, is tonight a convenient time? Come over for dinner, we can have some drinks," Zhang Zhihao said.
Li Xiuyuan thought he was being invited to dinner, so he said directly, "Brother-in-law, I have something to do tonight, so there's no rush for dinner. I guess you're busy at home too, so let's wait until things calm down before I make the arrangements."
“This…” Zhang Zhihao hesitated, looking somewhat embarrassed.
