Chapter 37: Love What You Do



Ordinary people all understand the principle of loving what you do. Don’t the educated leaders understand this?

It’s not that they don’t understand, but they are pretending to be crazy and stupid, or even some people just want to bully the people!

If everything is based on the people, why are there so many messy things happening all the time?

High housing prices make it difficult to provide for the elderly, and medical care and education make ordinary people miserable. Without money, even if ordinary people are admitted to the hospital, they cannot receive treatment. What about education?

Children’s schoolbags are getting heavier and heavier, but they are not learning much knowledge. I’m afraid they haven’t even established the most basic qualities of being a human being and having good faith.

Teachers are tired, parents are tired, and students are tired. Why are they so tired?

This is what Zhou Zhiyuan said truthfully when he was holding a meeting with the cultural, educational, and health officials of Saishang Town. Everyone was stunned and didn't know what was wrong with Zhou Zhiyuan.

Who wouldn't understand such a profound truth? Do you, as the mayor of a town, still have the audacity to speak so shamelessly?

This was what the small group of officials whispered about during their dinner after the meeting.

What's more, Zhou Zhiyuan was indeed promoted too quickly, because this is an exception in Saishang Town and even Saikun County!

Where is Zheng Xiaoting?

It is also a special case because Zhou Zhiyuan and Zheng Xiaoting are of similar age.

Li Guoyao, the village party secretary of Saishang Village, walked into Zhou Zhiyuan's office with a smile. Zhou Zhiyuan was full of enthusiasm and hurriedly poured a cup of Longjing tea for Secretary Li Guoyao.

Li Guoyao smiled slightly and said, "Mayor Zhou, you've gotten quite tanned. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Uncle Li, it's not hard. Is there anything wrong?" Zhou Zhiyuan sat opposite Li Guoyao and said in a low voice.

Li Guoyao nodded slightly and whispered, "Did you hold a meeting with the leaders of each station today?"

Zhou Zhiyuan nodded and asked, "Uncle Li, what's wrong?"

"The response was huge, both good and bad!" Li Guoyao said with a smile, his face full of kindness and respect.

"Uncle Li, just say it directly. I can accept it." Zhou Zhiyuan said hurriedly.

"Listen to my uncle's advice and don't exaggerate in the future. After all, this is Saishang Town. Besides, your current situation is very unstable. Secretary Wen has already led many leading cadres astray, and there is no way to correct it in a short time."

Li Guoyao continued, "When you become the top leader here, or even the top leader of the county, it won't be too late to realize your ambitions!"

Zhou Zhiyuan realized it belatedly and nodded repeatedly in gratitude, and in an instant, he gave Li Guoyao a thumbs up.

Li Guoyao shook his head and said quickly, "Mayor Zhou, how dare I? It's difficult to get someone, but it's easy to offend someone!"

Zhou Zhiyuan nodded. He and Li Guoyao were friends regardless of age. Moreover, Li Guoyao was the father of his sister-in-law Li Hui. Otherwise, Li Hui was so smart and capable, and would be a blessing to the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, then quickly asked, "Uncle Li, I'd like you to invite the village party secretaries of the thirteen administrative villages under Saishang Town to have a few drinks tonight. How about that?"

Li Guoyao was thinking along these lines. He nodded and said with a smile, "Mayor Zhou, you've climbed up the ranks from here. You'll be a higher official in the future. Being grounded is crucial. I'm sure you understand this very well!"

"Yes, Uncle Li, I deeply understand!" Zhou Zhiyuan said hurriedly.

"You have lowered yourself to mingle with the common people. This is an honor for us common people and also an honor for Saishang Town!" Li Guoyao said emotionally. It was not a compliment, but words from the heart.

After all, since Zhou Zhiyuan took office as the mayor of Saishang Town, he has hardly left Saishang Town, and has personally promoted the widening and hardening of roads connecting every village, as well as the opening of new ones.

Furthermore, Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan did not start from the abstract aspects, but from the practical aspects that the people urgently needed.

For example, in addition to drilling wells, many deep wells were drilled to provide drinking water and production water for the people in Saijing Village, as well as livestock and crops.

How can people survive without drinking water?

Without productive water, how can livestock and crops survive without rain?

When Zhou Zhiyuan was a village cadre in Saijing Village, he drank sour rainwater, which was the drinking water saved by the locals on rainy days.

At that time, Zhou Zhiyuan shed tears and secretly made up his mind that he must solve the drinking water and production water problems of the people.

Now, after Zhou Zhiyuan became the mayor, he has stepped up efforts to solve the problem of life-saving water for the people.

Such merit is not just a matter of presenting a banner, at least it reaches the hearts of the people.

The widening, hardening and newly opened village-to-village roads have received rave reviews, especially from Douyin, Kuaishou and WeChat short video players in Saishang Town and Saikun County, who have a large number of fans, which has invisibly fueled Zhou Zhiyuan's work.

At the town government, among the three deputy mayors, only Deputy Mayor Lan Meiyu spared no effort to support Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan's work. The other two deputy mayors were Secretary Wen's men. They pretended to be deaf and dumb, acted crazy and stupid, and passed the buck and talked nonsense.

What's more, Deputy Mayor Lan Meiyu works part-time as an accountant and is sometimes very busy, so Zhou Zhiyuan feels embarrassed to always use Lan Meiyu.

Sometimes Zhou Zhiyuan would transfer Qiao Xiaojiao, the deputy director of the town hospital, and Nangong Meifei, the deputy director of the Saikun County Public Security Bureau and part-time police station director, to do some work.

Of course, Xiao Zhiguo, the head of the armed forces department of Saishang Town, is quite capable. When there are some difficult matters, he takes the lead.

At present, no matter how hard Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan works, Saishang Town has almost become the property of Secretary Wen Dong. He almost has absolute power. In addition, Wen Hui is the chairman of the People's Congress, so it is a three-way confrontation, one against two!

While Zhou Zhiyuan was in the toilet, Li Guoyao made an appointment with the other twelve village secretaries.

Zhou Zhiyuan returned to the office and whispered, "Uncle Li, do you want to call Secretary Wen?"

Li Guoyao shook his head and whispered, "Now that Secretary Wen is here, there's nothing for you to do. Just get it."

Zhou Zhiyuan nodded, knowing full well that if it weren't for the highly respected village party secretary Li Guoyao to invite the other twelve village party secretaries, even if Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan himself went out, he probably wouldn't be able to invite them all.

Soon, Secretary Wen Dong learned about it and immediately called Wen Hui, the chairman of the People's Congress of Saishang Town: "Chairman Wen, what's going on?"

"Secretary Wen, what? What's going on?"

Wen Hui asked hurriedly, because she was chatting in Lan Meiyu's office. They had just talked about Zhao Jing, Zhou Zhiyuan, and Zheng Xiaoting.

"What's wrong with Mayor Zhou? Why is he holding a meeting like that with the small leaders from various stations today? Does he think he's the top official in Saishang Town? Or the Party Secretary of Saikun County?"

Secretary Wen Dong was furious. Why was Zhou Zhiyuan allowed to show off his power at the county meeting today?
