“You…” Zhao Gang suddenly stood up and said angrily.
"Gangzi, forget it. There's no need to bother with this kind of person." Lin Yun stood up, put his arm around Zhao Gang's shoulder, and said calmly.
Some people are insignificant and shouldn't be bothered with. It's not like we were kids anymore. Are you suggesting he go over and beat them up?
If his bodyguards were there, it would be more appropriate for them to take action. For him to personally teach this kind of person a lesson over such a trivial matter would be beneath him.
Now that his status and position are different, Lin Yun's mindset is somewhat detached. To be honest, he doesn't really care too much about the provocations from such a nobody.
"Let's go downstairs and load the vegetables into the car first." Lin Yun turned and walked towards the stairs.
Although he didn't care about the value of the vegetables, they were all grown by his parents with great effort, and since he had already taken them out, he couldn't just throw them away like garbage.
“I’ll go too…” Liu Ming quickly stood up, hurried after him, and said.
"Heh." Seeing this, the foreman Zhang sneered.
In his view, Lin Yun's calm words were just a powerless rebuttal from a nobody, merely empty words.
Deep down, they probably don't know how much pain they're in.
"Secretary Zhu, you've arrived. Your usual spot has been prepared for you..."
Afterwards, Zhang, the foreman, inspected the seat where Secretary Zhu often sat. He then looked longingly towards the stairwell, pacing back and forth as if he were desperately waiting. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he jogged over to the group of people at the stairwell, speaking in a very obsequious manner.
"Xiao Zhang, didn't I already say that you at Wangxianlou treat me like any other guest, and there's no need to be particularly concerned about me?" The leader, a man in his thirties or forties, looked at Supervisor Zhang and said with a slight smile.
Hearing Secretary Zhu call him by his surname and affectionately address him as Xiao Zhang, Supervisor Zhang was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Secretary Zhu, look at what you're saying! You've done so much for our Xianyuan County. As a member of Xianyuan County, I am truly grateful to you from the bottom of my heart! It is a great honor for us at Wangxianlou Restaurant that you can come to eat with us. Compared to all the things Secretary Zhu has done for our Xianyuan County, what are we doing wiping the table and sweeping the floor for Secretary Zhu?"
Supervisor Zhang was genuinely excited.
He was just an ordinary person. When Wangxianlou first opened, no one knew anything about its background. He applied for a job because he was good at talking and knew how to get things done. After working at Wangxianlou for a while, he was lucky enough to become the supervisor.
Before this, who would have thought much of him?
But after that, everyone was more polite to him!
Especially after Secretary Zhu, the highest-ranking official in their county, started coming here to eat!
Even the bureau chiefs and section chiefs who usually didn't greet him much greeted him very politely!
Sometimes, when he goes to do something for someone or helps a relative or friend, the person he asks for help is always very accommodating!
The high regard and praise he received from his relatives and friends made him extremely proud!
He really enjoyed that feeling!
He knew that all these changes were because Secretary Zhu had come here for dinner!
Therefore, he attached great importance to the fact that Secretary Zhu came here for dinner!
"You..." Secretary Zhu smiled and pointed at Foreman Zhang.
If a subordinate had said this to him, he probably wouldn't have been too bothered, because the flattery was too obvious. But since it was said by an ordinary person from Xianyuan County, he was quite pleased. Although many of the things he did in Xianyuan County were rather utilitarian, who wouldn't want to hear the praise of the people below?
"The same old thing, simple food will do." Then, Secretary Zhu walked to a table, sat down, and said with a smile.
As he spoke, he looked up at the window not far away, and a beautiful view came into view.
A sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.
He put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to create this tourist attraction.
Xianyuan County today is vastly different from when he first took office.
Everywhere there are plazas, colorful lights, fountains, and scenic spots, it looks very high-end. People who come to inspect are all very satisfied with him. As long as he can attract some more investment or undertake some more projects, it is estimated that his promotion will not be too long.
Thinking of the unpleasant things that had happened recently, a hint of disdain flashed deep in his eyes.
What do those ordinary people know?
All they know is how to protect their own petty interests!
Don't we know that sacrificing our small family for the greater good, and that our small family is better off with the greater good around us?
If it weren't for him, could Xianyuan County have become so beautiful?
Perhaps those people will suffer some losses and inconveniences temporarily... but if Xianyuan County improves its status and attracts some investors, is there any fear that Xianyuan County's future will not be good?
Well, it's this foreman Zhang who knows the bigger picture.
Thinking of this, Secretary Zhu looked at Foreman Zhang in front of him, becoming more and more satisfied.
If every resident of Xianyuan County had the same awareness as Foreman Zhang, that would be wonderful.
"I've already made arrangements. Secretary Zhu's meal will be served soon," Supervisor Zhang nodded hurriedly.
Secretary Zhu always orders the same few dishes, which he has prepared in advance. To prevent any accidents, he doesn't have them served in advance. Now, all he needs to do is give a notification.
As he spoke, he had already notified his subordinates via his walkie-talkie.
"Secretary Zhu, you're so principled! Every time you come to Wangxianlou for dinner, you order such simple food and still insist on paying the bill. Since Secretary Zhu started eating at Wangxianlou, our business has improved a lot. If you ask me, we at Wangxianlou should treat Secretary Zhu to a good meal every day for free." After giving the notification, the head waiter looked at Secretary Zhu and flattered him again with a smile.
"That Zhang is really good with words!"
"Xiao Zhang is right, Secretary Zhu is just too principled, haha!"
Several officials around Secretary Zhu spoke with smiles.
Seeing so many people agree with him, Foreman Zhang became even more excited.
"We'd be very happy if Wangxianlou could offer us a discount on our meals, but free meals are absolutely out of the question," Secretary Zhu said with a slight shake of his head and a smile.
How much are some of these meals worth? Right now, China is cracking down hard on corruption and lavish spending of public funds on meals. It's not worth getting caught up in these meals.
"These dishes don't cost much to prepare. Secretary Zhu's visit to Wangxianlou has made our business better and better. We're already embarrassed to charge Secretary Zhu for the cost of the food," the manager, Zhang, quickly said.
"Is your boss here?" Secretary Zhu waved his hand and asked.
"I've already informed our boss, and he'll be here soon," Foreman Zhang said with a smile.
"Xiao Zhang, you're so eloquent. You should try to persuade your boss to invest in Xianyuan County. If you succeed, I'll definitely give you a big reward," Secretary Zhu said with a smile.
"Really?" Foreman Zhang's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly.
“I will definitely try to persuade our boss, Secretary Zhu. Don’t worry too much. Since our boss has built this restaurant in Xianyuan County, he probably intends to invest there. Recently, I’ve often seen him discussing things in Xianyuan County with some big bosses.” Foreman Zhang nodded quickly, and then whispered at the end.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Zhang," Secretary Zhu said with a smile and a nod.
He also agreed with what the foreman Zhang said. Now, many investors are starting to shift their focus from big cities to small places. However, many investors who come to Xianyuan County do not necessarily intend to invest. They may just take a look around and leave.
In comparison, the owner of Wangxianlou is much more likely to invest in Xianyuan County.
Furthermore, he heard that the owner of Wangxianlou had an extraordinary background and held a high position among the investors. If the owner decided to invest, it was very likely that he would influence other investors to follow suit.
Secretary Zhu actually asked me for a favor!
This is the highest-ranking official in their Xianyuan County, and he actually asked me for help!
Secretary Zhu's words made Foreman Zhang even more excited. He felt that after this, he would have another topic to brag about!
"Huh? Where's that aroma of wine coming from? It doesn't seem to be ordinary wine?"
Just then, Secretary Zhu twitched his nose slightly, and said in great surprise.
"Indeed, I smelled it too..."
Upon hearing Secretary Zhu's words, a middle-aged man standing next to him nodded in agreement.
"Secretary Zhu has a keen sense of smell. I was just wondering what the fragrance was, and now that you mention it, it really does smell like wine..."
An official nodded in agreement.
"Little Zhang, has Wangxianlou somehow acquired some fine wine?"
An official looked at Foreman Zhang and asked with a smile.
The aroma of wine doesn't travel far.
Following the aroma of the wine, they quickly noticed an open bottle of wine and six or seven uneaten dishes on the table next to them.
