"Second brother, hurry up and take the people inside to sit down."
This is a valuable connection within their team; they'll need their help with the small workshop's future endeavors.
"More cars are coming, and there's more than one."
One after another, cars drove in and stopped behind Yang Limin's car.
If it weren't for the fact that the Gu family and their neighbors all had a large, flat area in front of their houses, there wouldn't be enough space to park all these cars.
"What happened?"
At this moment, the two brothers, Gu Guangrong and Gu Xianjin, couldn't stop smiling.
"District Chief Wu!"
"I am Gu Xianjin, the captain of the Red Flag Brigade. Welcome to the brigade."
"Did you come here today to inspect the work? Why didn't you let me know so I could have sent someone to pick you up?"
Gu Xianjin quickly stepped forward, wanting to shake hands with him in a friendly manner.
This is the district head of the eastern district of their city, C!
Last time, when Gu Xian went to the town for a meeting, District Chief Wu happened to come down to inspect the work and had the opportunity to see him from afar.
"What work are you inspecting? I'm here to attend the wedding of Mr. Shen Yongjun's granddaughter."
"Get out of the way! Can't you see the mayor is here?"
Wu Sheng didn't have time to talk to Gu Xianjin and quickly ran to the car behind him.
"My goodness! Today I not only met the district head, but I'm even going to meet the mayor?"
Gu Xianjin touched his heart and looked at Gu Guangrong beside him.
Is he dreaming?
"Brother, who exactly is Old Man Shen Yongjun?"
His granddaughter got married? Besides the second son's family, is there anyone else getting married in their Red Flag Brigade today? He's never heard of that name before.
"Old Master Shen is Ruan Yatou's biological grandfather."
Gu Guangrong was still completely bewildered.
However, his mental fortitude was better than Gu Xianjin's; at least his legs didn't tremble when he heard that the district head and mayor were coming.
"Ah, Ruan girl's biological grandfather?"
Gu Xianjin was completely baffled. Why did one of them have the surname Ruan and the other the surname Chen?
"Oh, Vice Mayor Cao, what brings you here? Let me open the car door for you, please be careful when getting out."
Wu Sheng fawned over the driver, who politely ushered him aside.
"District Chief Wu, I've already told you not to be so polite to me when we're out."
"We are all serving the people, there is no distinction between high and low. I really feel bad about what you're saying."
Although Cao Jun enjoyed Wu Sheng's service, he still refused it righteously.
"Yes, yes, it was my oversight."
Wu Sheng bowed and scraped, then took out a cigarette and offered one to Vice Mayor Cao.
"I can't refuse such kindness."
Cao Jun pretended to wave his hand and pushed, then took the cigarette from Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng, sensing the danger, picked up a match and lit it for Cao Cao's army.
"call."
Cao Jun blew a puff of smoke directly into Wu Sheng's face.
"Xiao Wu, you have pretty good hearing. You heard even this little noise?"
Cao Jun sized up Wu Sheng, thinking, "I didn't realize that a mere district head could be so capable."
If he hadn't overheard Mayor Zhang's phone call by chance, he wouldn't have known that there was such a big shot in City C.
He had his eye on the mayor's position five years ago. He finally waited until the old mayor retired, thinking that with his qualifications, succeeding him would be a natural progression.
Unexpectedly, a month ago, a mayor was parachuted in from Haishi, disrupting all his plans.
How can an ordinary kid be superior to him?
Cao Jun came here specifically to see what Zhang Yi would use to fight him if he stole Zhang Yi's backer.
"Just a coincidence."
Wu Sheng dared not act arrogantly in front of Cao Jun.
He received this news entirely thanks to his father-in-law's help.
Otherwise, how could someone from humble beginnings have risen to this position?
"That would be best."
Wu Sheng seems to be a pragmatic person; if he has the ability, he wouldn't mind giving him a hand.
"I wonder if Grandpa Shen Yongjun has arrived yet?"
"What are you two standing there for? Come over and say hello."
Cao Jun impatiently threw down his cigarette butt and crushed it with his shoe.
He's already doing us a favor by coming to this rural place. These idiots have no sense at all.
"Did you hear that, Captain?"
Wu Sheng then continued.
"Vice Mayor Cao, District Chief Wu, please have a seat inside."
Gu Xianjin quickly stepped forward.
This is a high-ranking leader; we can't afford to be negligent.
Gu Guangrong, who was standing to the side, disliked the tone of the two men and didn't have a good impression of Vice Mayor Cao and District Chief Wu.
This kind of demeanor is nothing like that of a good official who serves the people.
On such a joyous occasion, one must bear with any dissatisfaction.
"Vice Mayor Cao, who do you want to serve you?"
Zhang Yi rode his bicycle from the brigade entrance and stopped behind Cao Jun.
"Mayor Zhang."
Wu Sheng was dumbfounded.
My goodness, I didn't expect even the mayor to come and show his support.
Gu Xianjin, who was standing next to him, was even more shocked.
Did District Chief Wu just call me Mayor? That's a higher rank than Deputy Mayor.
"Mayor Zhang, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing the sound, Cao Jun turned around and quickly put on a smiling face.
"Didn't you come too?"
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow.
He had no idea that this bastard was eavesdropping from the corner.
"Just a coincidence."
Cao Jun wiped away his cold sweat, not daring to utter a sound.
He tried to tamper with things several times, but Zhang Yi noticed each time, fearing that Zhang Yi would discover his secrets.
"I wonder if Mr. Shen has arrived yet? I came here today specifically to offer my congratulations, and I would appreciate it if this fellow villager could show me the way."
Zhang Yi glanced at Gu Guangrong, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said very politely.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Your grandfather is already sitting inside. I'll take you in right away."
Gu Guangrong was somewhat flattered.
I thought this mayor was more imposing than the deputy mayor, but I didn't expect him to be so approachable.
Zhang Yi walked into the courtyard, where eight large dining tables were set up, each with a plate of melon seeds in the middle. Many of Gu's relatives and neighbors were already seated, waiting for the feast to begin.
At this moment, Shen Yongjun was sitting at the main table, talking to Ruan Hengzhi.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yi presented a gift at the gift-hanging area and stepped forward.
Seeing Zhang Yi's actions, Cao Jun and Wu Sheng also quickly put on their greetings.
"Grandpa Shen, how have you been lately?"
Zhang Yi approached Shen Yongjun and respectfully performed a junior's salute.
"So it's Yi, kid. When did you get to City C?"
"Sit down and talk slowly."
Shen Yongjun nodded and pointed to the bench next to him.
"I was just transferred to City C a month ago and have been busy with the handover process. I haven't been able to visit you, sir, right away. I'm really sorry."
The former mayor left behind a mess, and his subordinates were eager to take the lead. He was exhausted and had no time to spare.
"What are you sorry about? Do you think an old man like me would hold such a grudge?"
Shen Yongjun waved his hand, completely disregarding these formalities.
He and Zhang Yi's grandfather were sworn brothers, and he treated Zhang Yi like his own grandson.
