Drilling deep wells and building irrigation canals is not a simple matter; it involves too many higher-ups.
Secretary Jin didn't want to offend anyone; he just wanted to live a peaceful life until retirement.
Adding to the matter of Jin Qiaomei, Secretary Jin harbored deep hatred for Liu Nian, but he never dared to take any action. However, he was happy as long as he could make Liu Nian's family unhappy.
Su Xu had already stepped out of the conference room.
With a rustling sound, Liu Dafa stood up, straightened his collar, and said, "Let's go."
Then a few people stood up, ignoring Secretary Jin without even glancing at him.
"Hey!" Secretary Jin slammed his hand on the table. "Do you even respect me anymore?"
"Wait until you come begging to me!" Secretary Jin gathered his strength, angrily turned his back, walked out the door, and slammed the door shut behind him.
When Su Xu entered, Liu Nian was reading a book, all about parenting. Zhang Sufeng was studying nearby, along with Lin Meizhi, a fellow educated youth who had taken the college entrance exam with her. The two of them were startled when they saw Su Xu's expression.
"Secretary Jin said that?" Liu Nian asked, "Doesn't he disagree?"
Su Xu nodded, a sinister glint in his eyes. It was time for Secretary Jin to step down, Su Xu thought to himself.
Since Secretary Jin doesn't intend to get involved in this matter, let's just leave him be.
Liu Nian was also angry. He got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the county magistrate."
What's there to be afraid of if there are people above you?
Seeing her husband so angry made Liu Nian feel bad; she couldn't stand seeing him suffer.
Su Xu drove the tractor directly out of the village with Liu Nian, and even went to Jin's house for a stroll, which angered Jin so much that he turned around and left as soon as he saw them.
Liu Nian first sought out Zhang Lan, and asked Zhang Lan to take her to see her father, Zhang Genzhi.
After explaining his purpose, Zhang Genzhi nodded and said, "Actually, I know that the water problem during irrigation will have to be solved sooner or later."
“But drilling wells, especially deep wells, is not so simple if the whole county has to complete it.” Zhang Genzhi glanced at Liu Nian thoughtfully. “As you know, it’s a huge expense in terms of both manpower and financial resources.”
Zhang Genzhi's decision not to directly refuse, but to say no decisively, meant there was still a chance.
She and Su Xu exchanged a glance, and Liu Niancai said, "I have a great way to guarantee your promotion, do you want to listen?"
Upon hearing Liu Nian's words, Zhang Genzhi immediately became interested. He leaned forward and asked, "What do you say?"
"It's about digging a well!" Liu Nian said. "If you can make this happen, I guarantee you'll be promoted several ranks!"
Zhang Genzhi had always suspected that Liu Nian knew someone in high places, and now, seeing her so confident, he was even more certain.
Liu Nian must have heard something!
Zhang Genzhi immediately agreed, "Okay, then I'll do everything in my power to make this happen!"
"Don't worry, you all deserve half the credit!" Zhang Genzhi smiled slightly at Liu Nian, then looked at Su Xu, "I have high hopes for you."
Su Xu didn't speak.
"Then I'll wait for your news." The two stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Genzhi.
As the two walked out, Su Xu smiled and said, "Once the matter is approved, we'll have Secretary Jin handle it."
"Hmm?" Liu Nian looked up at Su Xu, but Su Xu winked at Liu Nian with a mischievous smile.
It's likely that Su Xu has come up with some way to deal with Secretary Jin.
