But only someone like Li Xiuyuan could keep Zhou Jianzhong in check.
Zhou Jianzhong's expression was also somewhat unpleasant, but he did not refute it, because Li Xiuyuan had already done what he was supposed to do.
It's so perfect that no one can find fault with it. They said they would give preferential treatment to Meilin Village, and they had already made arrangements in less than a week. Who can say that Li Xiuyuan, the deputy mayor, did not fulfill his responsibilities?
"Alright, here's what we'll do. You go and arrange a meeting with these two teachers, and I'll talk to them." Li Xiuyuan said with a gloomy face.
Under normal circumstances, Li Xiuyuan would have definitely handed this matter over to Zhou Jianzhong. He is the town mayor, not the village head, and wouldn't be able to handle every little thing in Meilin Village.
But Su Ziying will be coming directly to Meilin Village after she returns from the provincial capital the day after tomorrow, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble and give Su Ziying a bad impression.
That's why I'm handling it personally. If I were to hand it over to Zhou Jianzhong, given Zhou Jianzhong's abilities, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it properly in the next two days.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianzhong nodded and felt relieved. He didn't dare to sit down any longer, so he stood up, nodded, and left the office.
Li Xiuyuan's smile returned as he looked at Zhang Yaozong: "Director Zhang, what's the matter?"
He had one attitude towards Zhou Jianzhong and another towards Zhang Yaozong. He didn't use these emotions to control himself, but rather to influence others.
Getting angry when you need to isn't necessarily because you're really that angry inside, but rather to express your attitude.
“Li Zhen, Minister Qi Weihua may be coming to visit his comrades this afternoon,” Zhang Yaozong said.
Li Xiuyuan's smile deepened as he reached out and poured Zhang Yaozong a glass of water: "Director Zhang, please tell me in detail."
"Yes, I learned about Minister Qi Weihua's comrade-in-arms in Meilin Village when I was doing demolition mobilization. These past two days, I made a point of visiting his home more often. I didn't say anything explicitly, but I hinted at it. Yesterday afternoon, I happened to run into him, and after we chatted, he said that Qi Weihua would come to visit today."
Li Xiuyuan nodded in satisfaction. Zhang Yaozong was indeed a capable old comrade, but he was too old. Otherwise, he could have been properly trained. He handled each task assigned to him very well.
“Okay, when Minister Qi Weihua comes, let me know, and I’ll go see him and show him around Meilin Village,” Li Xiuyuan said.
Zhang Yaozong nodded and was about to get up and leave to attend to his own business, but Li Xiuyuan called him back.
"Director Zhang, have another cigarette." Li Xiuyuan handed Zhang Yaozong a cigarette, gesturing for him to sit down first and not rush.
Zhang Yaozong realized that Li Xiuyuan still had something to say.
"Director Zhang, you've worked hard in Meilin Village. But in my opinion, with your abilities, you're wasting your talents in the position of director of the Comprehensive Management Office. You should at least be a deputy town mayor." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, starting to make empty promises.
Zhang Yaozong has done a good job in several things recently, and Li Xiuyuan can't remain silent. Even if he can't give him anything for the time being, he has to make a promise to let the other party know that he remembers his efforts.
Zhang Yaozong smiled upon hearing this: "Mayor Li, I know my own capabilities very well. I'm already this age, and I'll be retiring in a few years. I don't want to think about anything else. If I can help build up Meilin Village under Mayor Li's leadership, then I'll have done something worthwhile before I retire. After I retire, I'll have something to talk about when I drink and chat. That's enough. I really don't want anything else."
