On May 5th, after arriving at Meilin Village, Li Xiuyuan first looked at the teachers' dormitory in the village committee compound.
The renovation was completed and the house has been aired out for a while now. The smell in the house isn't completely gone, but the smell of the new furniture and such is very faint.
Li Xiuyuan walked around the teachers' dormitory and had just stepped out of the village committee compound when he ran into Zhang Yaozong and Zhou Jianzhong, who were coming towards him.
Zhang Yaozong had something to discuss with Li Xiuyuan, while Zhou Jianzhong would generally come over to greet Li Xiuyuan whenever Li Xiuyuan arrived at Meilin Village, to see if Li Xiuyuan had any instructions.
"Mayor Li."
"Mayor Li."
The two greeted each other, and Li Xiuyuan smiled and nodded, took out cigarettes from his pocket, offered one to each of them, and then said with a smile, "You two have worked hard."
These two are not young, and they are still working during their holiday, which is truly commendable.
"It's not hard work, it's what I should do."
The two shook their heads politely. Li Xiuyuan first looked at Zhang Yaozong and asked, "Director Zhang, is there something you need?"
Zhang Yaozong nodded and said, "Mayor Li, there's something I need to take care of, but it's not urgent."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and led the two to the village office, first asking Zhou Jianzhong about the school.
Zhou Jianzhong's expression immediately turned somewhat troubled.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan frowned and looked at Zhou Jianzhong: "What's wrong? The holiday is over, and the volunteer teachers and contract teachers will be arriving soon. Isn't the village primary school ready yet?"
Zhou Jianzhong looked at Li Xiuyuan with a bitter expression and said, "Mayor Li, those two teachers from the school are a bit unwilling. They feel that they have worked in the village for so many years, and even if they haven't made any great contributions, they have still put in a lot of hard work. When the treatment was poor, they were making sacrifices, but now that the treatment is better, they want to be kicked out. They are making a fuss."
The school originally had three teachers: one with a high school diploma and two with junior high school diplomas. Now, the high school graduate will be retained with improved benefits, matching the treatment of the contract teachers, while the two junior high school graduates will be dismissed.
Now, those two teachers with only junior high school diplomas are naturally unwilling to accept it.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan frowned and looked at Zhou Jianzhong: "You're the village party secretary, can't you even handle this little thing? You expect me to do everything? You won't even eat when I'm feeding you? I've secured the funding for you, I've found the teachers for you, and now you're telling me you can't even handle the dismissal of two teachers?"
This week, Jianzhong is just a village head. Anyone working within the system has no future prospects. They can't handle anything that's even slightly difficult. This is not only due to a lack of ability, but also a lack of awareness.
Li Xiuyuan could turn on you in an instant. One second he was smiling and offering cigarettes to the two of them, saying they had worked hard, and the next second he immediately scolded Zhou Jianzhong for not doing his job well.
Zhang Yaozong, standing to the side, sighed. Only someone like Li Xiuyuan is suitable to be a leader. He doesn't care about being embarrassed at all and can turn on you in a heartbeat. If he were the deputy mayor, he really wouldn't dare to speak like that to a village chief of Zhou Jianzhong's age.
