Chapter 209: Gathering People



As soon as everyone heard this, they knew it was true. It was impossible for Jun Yang to do something outrageous.

Secretary Li: "Look, this is talent. He strikes with precision and conquers in one fell swoop. This is how a general fights, just like the anti-Japanese war dramas I used to watch."

Xu Junyang: ·········

"Hahahaha, that's right, young man, you set a good example. You should learn from your brother Junyang." The deputy secretary patted the young cadre next to him.

Young cadre: "I won't say anything else, but at least I'm more talkative than Junyang. I don't think I'm a bad person either."

"But, appearance is a flaw, and there's not much money in my pocket. If someone like me goes to war, I'll run out of food and fodder before I even meet the enemy and starve to death."

The deputy secretary said, "Hahaha, you have some self-awareness. This is also your strength. You are honest."

Director Liu: "Last time I said I'd introduce you to someone, but you didn't want to."

The Women's Chairperson said: "You are not young anymore. You can get married after two years of playing. Don't look down on your brother Yang. Most people can't compare to him."

Young cadres: "I don't have a career yet, so why am I talking about this? I need to get my work done first."

Village doctor: "There's no conflict, really."

The topic turned to young cadres again.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Secretary Li interrupted.

"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Yesterday I went to a meeting in town. The town said that each village should send a team to compete in dragon boat racing. Our village also needs to organize one right away, but it's hard to find people. Most of them have no sportsmanship."

"Each of you groups, please recommend younger, more physically fit individuals to each other. Find them quickly. We need a total of 25 people, about five per group. Decide on the members today, and start making time for practice tomorrow to pick up the pace."

The deputy secretary sighed, "Oh, they do these things every year, but no one wants to go. They think it's tiring. And there's no benefit. The few thousand yuan is only enough for everyone to eat, and the rest of the money is less than a hundred yuan. Who wants to go?"

Secretary Li: "So, this is the dilemma of being a village official. If we send people over and something happens, we'll also be held responsible."

Young cadre: "You have to go. This is the town's order, the emperor's decree. Just try it. From now on, your village will be left to fend for itself."

Everyone sighed and groaned, this kind of work was the most annoying.

Secretary Li: "You and your brother Junyang should go, two young and strong men, representing our village cadres."

Young cadre: "Sure, you just need to find other people."

Xu Junyang also nodded, "No problem for me. I'll find a few more people."

As he said that, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

Secretary Li saw him start making phone calls and urged the others, "Think about it. If you come up with something, call and ask immediately. I'll make a call too."

Everyone was thinking hard.

Ouyang Shaoming saw Xu Junyang's call and quickly picked up the phone.

"Hey, Brother Yang, you haven't called me for a long time. What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about? Do you want to have dinner together tonight, Brother Yang? It's my treat."

The call was connected, and Xu Junyang heard a chattering sound coming from the other side.

Hold the phone further away.

"I'll treat you to dinner some other day. I need you today for something. We're short of people for the Dragon Boat Festival. Are you free to join us?"

Ouyang Shaoming slammed the table when he heard this, "If you need a few Yang brothers, just tell me directly and I'll make it clear for you."

Xu Junyang laughed and said, "It's not clear yet. I'll participate too. I'll tell you later."

Ouyang Shaoming: "Okay, I'll fill in any gaps. Leave it to me."

Xu Junyang: "Yes, thank you."

Ouyang Shaoming didn't like to hear him being polite, "Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome."

He is such a polite and good boy. Now when he follows Brother Yang, he always says thank you and you're welcome.

I called a few young people in the village, but some of them were unable to attend due to other matters, so only two could attend.

One of them was the drummer who attended the funeral with him.

There was still one thing missing, so he used WeChat to tell Ouyang Shaoming about the situation.

Ouyang Shaoming patted his chest and said that it was no problem.

He turned around and called Ouyang Changhong.

Ouyang Changhong felt a little surprised when he received a call from his cousin, who was someone who would never call him in eight hundred years.

"What are you doing, bro?"

Ouyang Shaoming: "Where have you been, slacking off all day?"

Ouyang Changhong: "I've been on the rise recently. I'm doing business. What's going on?"

Ouyang Shaoming: "What's wrong with you?"

Ouyang Changhong: "... After all, I've been on TV before. Did you see the people praising me in the comments? I can't let them down. If they knew I was... an idler, I'd be embarrassed."

Ouyang Shaoming laughed, "Oh, you still know how to save face. Okay, I'll give you a chance to show off now, do you want it?"

When Ouyang Changhong heard this, he wondered if his cousin wanted to take him along for development?

"Is it true or not? Tell me first so I can hear it."

Ouyang Shaoming: "We are missing one person for the Dragon Boat Festival. Please work hard with us and bring honor to our village."

Ouyang Changhong:·········

Ouyang Shaoming: "Why, I don't want to. This is such a great opportunity. Such a big event will definitely require media coverage."

Ouyang Changhong: "Of course I want it. It's not that I don't want to participate. I thought you were talking about some opportunity. This is it."

Ouyang Shaoming scolded him, "You rascal, opportunities are for those who are prepared. You just slack off every day and you can't grab the opportunities that are given to you. What other opportunities do you want? Seize the opportunities that are in front of you first."

Ouyang Changhong:...

Chen Man and Zhang Xiaona were walking in the yard, followed by a little kid.

Just as they were walking outside Leng Leng's yard, Zhang Xiaona roared like a lion, "Leng Leng, come down and play."

Leng Leng was startled out of nowhere. He put down his pen and walked to the window, where he saw three people downstairs.

"Man Niang, your voice is so loud, aren't you afraid of scaring the baby in your belly?"

Zhang Xiaona chuckled and touched her belly, "Mine isn't that fragile."

"Come down and play quickly. Be careful of hemorrhoids if you sit up all day."

Chen Man: "Pfft~ As expected of you."

The atmosphere cooled down and the three of them sat in the room chatting idly.

From time to time, two people would walk out or pass by and run over to chat.

When Xu Junyang drove back in the afternoon, he saw Chen Man in the venue, chatting happily with everyone.

Seeing Xu Junyang's car, Chen Man waved.

Xu Junyang drove the car closer, rolled down the window, and called out to his elders.

Said to Chen Man: "Play for a while longer?"

Before Chen Man could answer, Zhang Xiaona waved her hand dismissively, "Hurry up, hurry up. Call her when the meal is ready."

Chen Man couldn't help laughing and said to Xu Junyang, "I'll go back later."

Xu Junyang smiled and nodded, and said as he drove away, "I'll call you for dinner."
