However, they don't seem to be quite in a romantic relationship.
Upon receiving the message, Su Ziying felt a strange sensation. This simple "I'm back" sounded like a couple announcing their return to each other.
"Okay." Su Ziying sent a message to Li Xiuyuan first, and then, thinking of something, sent another message: "Don't come back too late in the future, especially on rainy days, the roads are slippery and it's not safe to drive."
Li Xiuyuan received the message with a concerned tone, smiled, and replied with his phone: "I know, but I slept soundly when I got back. Don't worry, I'll be careful."
The two chatted, exchanging messages one after another, and the night in the village committee compound gradually quieted down.
After Su Ziying's room light was turned off, Li Xiuyuan's room light was also turned off quickly.
On Wednesday morning, the air in Meilin Village was even fresher after the rain, with a touch of the unique dampness that comes with rain. Because some sections of the road were still flooded, Li Xiuyuan and Su Ziying didn't go for a run; they just chatted casually and took a walk in the village.
We arrived at the Happiness Riverbank again. The flow was greater after the rain, and clear water splashed up from time to time.
After breakfast, Li Xiuyuan called Zhou Jianzhong over and asked about the village's relocation situation and some preparations for the second phase of the project.
Today is Wednesday, and there are only five days left until the official start of the second phase of the project. The machines will be brought in over the weekend.
Zhou Jianzhong reported on the village's relocation situation. Those involved in the demolition will definitely be able to move out by the end of this week, making their houses vacant, especially the areas where the second phase of construction started, which are already vacant.
The only exception is the families of Wang Yongde.
“Mayor Li, how about I try to persuade them again and see if they can relocate?” Zhou Jianzhong asked Li Xiuyuan tentatively.
He had also heard rumors about the situation in the town, and he felt that after this investigation, Wang Zhixing would definitely speak to Wang Yongde on his behalf, and Wang Yongde's attitude would not be so resolute anymore.
It's possible that Wang Yongde is just waiting for a way to back down. If I go and persuade him again, that should be enough.
But Li Xiuyuan shook his head upon hearing this: "For now, let's not. I'll make arrangements later. No matter how many times we went, it was no use. The conventional methods won't work."
How could Li Xiuyuan possibly let Wang Yongde sign the contract at this time? If Wang Yongde signed the contract now, what reason would he have to take action against Wang Zhixing?
At 10:00 a.m., Li Xiuyuan drove to the central town. After arriving at his office, Li Xiuyuan first called Li Boyang and asked him to arrange a time for him to go and report to Yun Yanchang on the second phase of the Meilin Village project.
“Okay, wait a moment. Secretary Song from the Discipline Inspection Commission is reporting to Yun County about Wang Zhixing from your central town. Town Chief Li, do you need me to say something?” Li Boyang asked proactively.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "There's no need to say anything proactively. Since Yun County already knows, I'll just mention it when I report back. This matter has been widely discussed, and I didn't expect it to have even reached Yun County."
