Huo Qianli was unaware that his home was almost robbed.
He had just finished a preparatory meeting and walked out of the county party committee building with Gu Daqiang.
The two of them randomly picked a small noodle shop and sat down, and each ordered a bowl of noodles.
Gu Daqiang rubbed his swollen head, "I knew meetings were tiring, but I didn't expect it to be this tiring! After these few days of meetings, my head is really swollen!"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "You'll get used to it slowly. County leaders live like this every day, and there will be more!"
Gu Daqiang lit a cigarette and said, "Everyone wants to be an official, but not everyone can be an official! I saw those officials today and they all looked miserable."
Huo Qianli took out two chopsticks, scalded them in the boiling water on the stove of the noodle shop, and brought back two bowls of noodle soup. "He may look miserable, but if he is not called to a meeting one day, he will probably be restless!"
He took a sip of the noodle soup and then jokingly said, "Come to think of it, brother, you are an official now too! Haha!"
At the preparatory meeting just held, the basic structure of the industrial park has been formally clarified:
An industrial park management committee was established, with Zheng Qiang, a senior official of Qianfu Town, concurrently serving as the director of the management committee. Under him were relevant leaders of Qianfu Town and the secretaries of each village, who were responsible for the specific affairs of the industrial park and related administrative matters;
An industrial investment company was established, with Gu Daqiang, the village party secretary of Hushan Village, as the general manager of the company, responsible for the specific construction of the industrial park;
Small book stand
As for Huo Qianli, due to his identity, he was only given the title of special consultant.
Apart from an extra two to three thousand yuan in salary each month, there are no other obvious benefits, but everyone involved in this matter knows his importance.
After hearing what Huo Qianli said, Gu Daqiang smiled bitterly, "How can a farmer like me who digs the soil become a general manager?"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "The organization has already decided."
"Hey!" Gu Daqiang rubbed his face, "How did you recite those two lines of poetry last night?"
As he was talking, the boss brought two bowls of beef noodles. Huo Qianli smiled and shook his head, tapping his chopsticks on the table, "What kind of poetry are you reciting! Eat noodles, eat noodles!"
They ate voraciously, devouring the food in no time. After finishing, they got another bowl of noodle soup and drank it slowly.
Huo Qianli's expression suddenly changed, "Brother, what do you think about the matter between Haitao and Qiuyan?"
Gu Daqiang laughed, "I don't think much of it. The people in the village are just joking."
He wiped his mouth with a piece of paper and said, "Qiu Yan is a good girl. It would be great if she could be my daughter-in-law. But, what era is this now? It's okay for people to joke around sometimes, but it's impossible for them to really treat someone as their own!"
He chuckled, "If Haitao is capable enough to marry her, I'll be happy. If you don't have that ability, just live your life well. To be honest, Qiuyan is a talented girl and a college student. It's normal for her to look down on you, Gu Haitao! If she really finds a good man, I'll happily give her gifts and drink with her."
Huo Qianli gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, this is very frank."
Gu Daqiang waved his hand, "There is no way to control those people in the village who can't keep their mouths shut all day long. Just let them talk as they please! I won't do anything shameless myself."
Huo Qianli nodded, and felt relieved.
"Hey!" Gu Daqiang suddenly frowned and sighed, "Brother Huo, to be honest, I really have something to worry about right now."
Huo Qianli raised his eyebrows, "Haitao?"
"That's right!" Gu Daqiang smacked his lips. "Lepi'er is almost 20 years old now. It's time to decide whether to go out to work, learn a skill, or do something else."
Huo Qianli nodded, "It doesn't matter which comes first, starting a family or a career. You have to take the first step. As for accumulating knowledge and learning, it's almost time to find a direction."
Gu Daqiang looked at him and said, "Brother Huo, you have a lot of experience, can you help me with some advice?"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "It's up to him to choose his own path in life. He will feel at ease walking on the path he chooses. Otherwise, if we force him to choose the path, he will get discouraged when he encounters a little setback in the future."
Gu Daqiang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Well, when we get back, I'll talk to him first."
"That's right!"
Gu Daqiang grinned immediately.
The two held another half-day meeting in the afternoon, and then rushed back to Qianfu Town in the "special car" of Zheng Qiang, a senior town official.
The industrial park is a rare large project in Dongjiang County in recent years and an important exploration for the transformation and upgrading of Dongjiang County's industrial economy. It is completely foreseeable that Zheng Qiang, who has successfully become the director of the Industrial Park Management Committee, will "rise to fame overnight" and become a member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee.
So, at this moment, Secretary Zheng looked at Huo Qianli with joy in his heart.
Along the way, he had no official airs at all and chatted cordially with Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang. The driver in the driving seat was secretly warned that he should never mess with these two people from Hushan Village in the future, especially the one with the surname Huo.
That’s not all. By the time we arrived in town, it was almost eight o’clock and it was completely dark.
Secretary Zheng took the initiative to take the two to a restaurant in town to order some dishes and have a few drinks, and then he and the driver, still in high spirits, sent the two back to Hushan Village.
This action not only surprised the driver, even Huo Qianli felt that it was a bit "too close".
At about 10:30, Secretary Zheng returned to the government compound and stood downstairs of his apartment. He looked at the window with the lights off and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally he fell asleep!"
