Lu Zhenhai left himself no room for maneuver, making sweeping promises. But Li Xiuyuan understood the other layer of meaning in his words: Lu Zhenhai was reminding him not to forget Wang Zhitao. This favor meant he owed Wang Zhitao, to be repaid in the future.
Otherwise, he could just call him "Uncle Lu" himself. Lu Zhenhai wouldn't go to such lengths; a large part of it was for Wang Zhitao's sake.
But Wang Zhitao was still completely bewildered and hadn't reacted yet. Li Xiuyuan glanced at Wang Zhitao and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Sometimes, it's true that fools have good luck.
In terms of ability, Wang Zhitao is not outstanding, and in terms of interpersonal skills, he cannot compare with Huang Wei. But Wang Zhitao somehow became the director of the Economic Development Office, and now he has such a good father-in-law.
They're not even married yet, and the other party has already started paving the way.
He was willing to use his old bones to pave the way for Wang Zhitao.
Li Xiuyuan was somewhat envious. He himself had come this far entirely through his own meticulous preparations.
“Okay, Uncle, I won’t say much more about thanking you. You’ve already put in so much effort, so I’ll just say one thing: Zhi Tao and I will definitely live up to your expectations and efforts, and we will walk hand in hand together in the future,” Li Xiuyuan said.
Lu Zhenhai understood that Li Xiuyuan not only comprehended the meaning behind his words, but also gave a clear response.
"Okay, let's have a drink together." Lu Zhenhai picked up his glass and drank with Li Xiuyuan with a smile.
With the goal achieved, they could talk and drink more freely afterwards. Li Xiuyuan also mentioned that Zhang Xingguo and Zheng Qian from Zhengda Company had approached him before, and that Zhang Xingguo might try to manipulate the upcoming public bidding process.
Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Lu Zhenhai immediately stated, "Xiuyuan, don't worry, I will definitely support you in this matter. Zhengda Company is just a shell company. If we let them take over the Meilin Village project, then we're doomed."
Although Lu Zhenhai has been in the central town for many years and doesn't usually get involved in affairs, he is still very familiar with the town's situation.
As for Zheng Qian's brother-in-law, who works in the municipal organization department, he didn't care at all. He had no ambition for his career. Besides, even if he wanted to, he was only a deputy section chief now. Promotion to section chief was decided by the county government, and it had nothing to do with the municipal organization department.
It was past 8 p.m. when Li Xiuyuan left Lu Zhenhai's house. Li Xiuyuan called Zhou Yi and asked him to come and drive him back to Meilin Village.
My window was smashed last night. I'm too scared to stay in Meilin Village tonight. People will think I'm frightened.
Li Xiuyuan returned to Meilin Village. As soon as he entered the house, Su Ziying sent him a message asking if he had returned.
Li Xiuyuan lay in bed and texted Su Ziying for a while before they said goodnight to each other and went to sleep.
That night, no one dared to break the windows or do anything else.
On Thursday morning, after Li Xiuyuan and Su Ziying finished their run, Li Xiuyuan went back to the central town office. The dredging project in Meilin Village was completed, and before the start of the second phase of the project, Li Xiuyuan didn't actually have any work in Meilin Village.
The main reason he stays here every day is because of Su Ziying. Su Ziying has just arrived in Meilin Village and is unfamiliar with the place, so Li Xiuyuan is worried about her.
Around 10 a.m., after finishing his work, Li Xiuyuan arrived at Wang Zhixing's office and knocked on the door.
