Shi Dafu must have been incredibly quick-witted to become the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee!
Even before the old village chief himself had figured it out, the instant Ruan Xianxian finished speaking, he had already come up with several convoluted solutions.
His thoughts finally coalesced into a warm smile on his face, and he nodded gently to the old village chief, "Congratulations on this joyous occasion."
Then, changing the subject, she added, "We became acquainted through a misunderstanding, and being able to officiate at their wedding is a continuation of that acquaintance."
Has the date been set?
He looked at the old village chief.
The old village chief looked at him.
He swallowed hard and, in front of the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee, formalized the marriage of his two children, stating that as long as Ye Guo was alive, the marriage would have to take place.
Moreover, getting a divorce is not necessarily a simple matter.
Weddings and funerals are not usually extravagant, but in the countryside, if someone gets married and only sets up two tables to invite relatives, no one will say anything.
Hu Bin was hoping to collect some wedding gifts, but with Shi Dafu as the officiant, forget about collecting any gifts, he probably couldn't even afford to host a single banquet.
Poisonous!
That brat's intentions are truly vicious!
Meeting Shi Dafu's increasingly displeased gaze, Hu Bin involuntarily hunched his back and quickly replied:
"It's settled, it's settled. We're planning to have the kids go get their marriage certificate when they have some free time these next couple of days. The auspicious date won't be more than half a month away."
Ye Guo opened his mouth, his face showing astonishment.
Getting a marriage certificate? He was thinking of having a simple wedding in the countryside, he never intended to get a marriage certificate with that wretched woman, Hu Daya!
Seeing the expressions on the faces of both parties as if they had eaten shit, Shi Dafu glanced at Ruan Xianxian without leaving a trace. The woman's face was full of obvious ill intent.
She didn't show any further hostility towards him.
It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Shi Dafu put his mind at ease, knowing he wasn't stubborn enough to fight him to the death. He said a few more polite words and was about to leave.
Ruan Xianxian took two steps forward. "Deputy Director, let me see you off."
With the military lined up on the side, Shi Dafu dared not let her see him off, and quickly declined with a smile.
"You go ahead and get busy. When you're done, come to my office and we can sit down and talk then."
Ruan Xianxian always knew how to take advantage of a situation, "Alright, I'll definitely come and bother you another day, please don't find me annoying."
This inadvertently opened up connections in Gewei County. Shi Dafu was a complete scoundrel, but scoundrels also have their advantages. She slowly infiltrated his inner circle.
Shi Dafu laughed. This Ruan Zhiqing is truly a fascinating person.
She gave him face, so he couldn't refuse her. Before leaving, his Buddha-like smile vanished, and his sharp, warning gaze swept over everyone present.
The gaze fell steadily on the Hu family, especially on the old village chief's face.
His words carried a stern warning: "These young educated youths have come all the way to our county to work in the countryside. We can't let them encounter any injustice, can we, Hu Bin?"
What could Hu Bin say? His face was practically cramping from smiling so obsequiously!
Shi Dafu ignored his reply, snorted coldly, and left with his men without looking back.
Once everyone left, Han Li clicked his tongue and wanted to leave as well. Ruan Xianxian took small steps over, looked up, and asked bluntly.
"Weren't you going to move the oil press? You're leaving already?"
Han Li almost stumbled. After dealing with Ge Wei, was he going to be dealt with again?
I wish I could turn back time an hour and kill myself for not seeing the situation clearly.
Some of the villagers present might be confused, but he, being an official of some rank, clearly saw the difference in Shi Dafu's behavior before and after receiving the phone call.
For a revolutionary committee director to back down, damn it, I can't imagine what kind of behemoth is standing behind this little girl.
But he couldn't learn Shi Dafu's arrogance followed by obsequiousness.
He chuckled softly, "My goodness, I was wrong, okay? Please stop criticizing me. I did take action before the military arrived."
Indeed, even without the military's intervention, the militia minister's presence meant the Revolutionary Party couldn't take her away.
With this great favor done for her, and the hierarchy established, what right did she have to refuse any request the commune made?
"Alright, I forgive your unintentional mistake." Seeing her influence, the commune will have to think twice before having any further ideas.
The biggest difference between a commune and a production brigade is that villagers may not appreciate your efforts, while, regardless of the character of the commune leaders, a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship can at least be established.
You can find clueless idiots anywhere; just flip them over if they come across you. Overall, the commune is more suitable than the countryside.
But that's not enough...
Ruan Xianxian changed the subject, "Leaving aside the oil pressing factory, I have a mission to find the most suitable partner for the candy factory's packaging. It's inevitable that I'll visit all the communes in the county."
"The commune leaders shouldn't make things difficult for me then."
Han Li has a toothache. What kind of upbringing could produce such a difficult little girl?
Will I inevitably have to compare prices from three different vendors?
He lowered his voice, "No matter what, the nail warehouse is still your property. It's not unreasonable to open a back door for you, is it?"
“Indeed, it’s not excessive.” Ruan Xianxian smiled meaningfully.
"Whether the back door can be opened depends on whether the 'family' behind the door can handle it. We'll have to trouble Brother Han to keep an eye on things at the oil press."
Putting the two together, what else doesn't Han Li understand?
Seeing that he was about to say something, Ruan Xianxian stopped him.
"I haven't even had time to rest after all these upsetting things since I came back. I'll go to the commune and talk to Brother Han again in the next day or two."
Han Li: ...
Knowing that he wouldn't get the answer he wanted if he kept pestering him, and besides, the leader of the group had already given him several cold looks.
"Alright, I'll wait for your good news at the commune."
He knew about the candy factory's packaging work earlier than other communes, which was an advantage. Ruan Xianxian looked around and slipped a small lantern into his palm.
He said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Here are the exam questions. Make sure you understand them thoroughly before the exam!"
