Seeing that he was being very perfunctory, Wu Yingwei took the notebook and continued to rack his brains to write. Wu An went back to his room and quickly called Director Chen.
I talked with Director Chen and he gave me some guidance.
After listening, Director Chen was a little worried: "A'an, the reason I didn't tell you in advance was because I thought the leaders probably wouldn't come to the village. If the big leaders don't come, won't all our preparations be for nothing?"
Wu An said calmly, "The leaders may not come, but we can't not make preparations."
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
"Director Chen, you mustn't slack off."
Director Chen repeatedly agreed.
Wu An pressed his advantage: "I heard the big leader is coming tomorrow, so you should stay up a little longer tonight and work on it to the best of your ability."
Director Chen: "Okay, I understand."
Hang up the phone.
He called Old Mai again and asked him to arrange for a reporter to come to the guesthouse for an interview.
Old Mai readily agreed.
For him, it was just a matter of making a phone call.
Reporters were even more eager than Wu An to hear that they might bump into a high-ranking official on an inspection tour.
After finishing the phone call, Wu An went to the kitchen and asked his sister-in-law to blanch some small squid and other vegetables to go with the drinks. He then invited his father to have a drink with him, but Wu Yingwei said no. Wu An insisted on drinking with him.
Wu Yingwei couldn't refuse, so he drank some with her.
I originally planned to drink one bottle, but once I started, I couldn't stop.
Wu An successfully got his father drunk.
True strategists always get involved themselves.
Wu An was also drunk and swaying his head.
Still secretly gloating.
Sometimes it's quite fun to play harmless little tricks on your own family.
"Why drink so much for no reason?" Wu Ping asked irritably. "Ah An, are you doing this on purpose?"
Wu An nodded: "Yes."
“…” Wu Ping said, “I can’t be bothered to joke at a time like this. Dad, I’m not drinking anymore. What’s the point of drinking alcohol to embolden a coward? The leaders might not even come.”
"Even if you come, getting drunk so far in advance won't help."
Wu Ping helped his father back into the house.
Wu An was somewhat helpless. He told the truth, but the old man still didn't believe him. He poured a cup of tea and carried it into the house to help take care of his father, who was drunk and needed someone to be there for him.
If something happens, it could be a major disaster.
He put down his teacup, found his phone, and sent a message to everyone in the QQ group, saying that tomorrow's departure would be postponed so that everyone could rest and recuperate, and that everyone would see the reply.
Soon everyone replied that they had received it.
It was already past midnight, and most people were still awake. Old Fu couldn't use QQ properly, so Wu An helped him buy the Xiaomi phone and register the QQ account.
WeChat does have it too.
Group chat functionality is not yet available.
Unfortunately, sometimes we can only communicate through QQ, otherwise we have to send group messages, which is quite troublesome.
actually.
Many things are not much different now than they will be in the future; the changes may not seem significant. However, based on Wu An's personal experience, there are still many differences.
That's why opportunities abound.
Wu An could see it all, but of all the waters in the world, he only took a sip.
As the old saying goes, "Don't bite off more than you can chew."
After looking after his father for a while, Wu An was sent to wash up after his sister-in-law came in. Although he had taken a shower before disembarking, he still had a bit of a smell after working so hard at the dock.
If I go to sleep without showering, my sister-in-law will definitely nag me endlessly the next day.
He obediently went to wash up.
After washing up, go back to sleep.
I felt quite energetic before taking a shower and getting into bed, but as soon as I lay down, wow, the world started spinning and I suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented.
Wu Ping brought over some boiled water. He was already snoring loudly. Seeing this, he said, "Yueqin, A'an is asleep."
Mei Yueqin came over, pulled the blanket that Wu An had kicked aside back up, tucked it in a little, and said, "Still kicking the blanket? It's getting chilly at night."
"Why did you let them drink so much? Didn't you stop them?"
Wu Ping's face fell. He thought to himself, "How can they blame me?" He said, "I told them, but they wouldn't listen."
Mei Yueqin: "So, did you say it?"
Wu Ping: "No."
“This is what I think: Ah An works very hard at sea, and he has a lot to do every day. When he gets home, he makes several phone calls in his room.”
"Have a drink to relieve fatigue."
Mei Yueqin snorted: "I'll pass."
Wu Ping chuckled twice and said, "Yueqin, go and rest. I'll take care of things."
"I rested for an hour or so during the break at school today, and I'm not sleepy at all now."
Mei Yueqin said, "I don't have much to do at home every day, and I take a nap every afternoon. My energy level is much higher than yours. You should go to sleep. You have class tomorrow, and some colleagues have asked for leave. You need to cover for them, right?"
Wu Ping: "Then I'll go rest?"
Mei Yueqin waved her hand: "Stop talking nonsense."
The parents-in-law came to the living room, Mei Yueqin sat down, took some snacks, and warmed a pot of tea. She ate and drank, quite enjoying herself.
What's a little all-nighter?
Mei Yueqin was quite happy, which meant that the family still needed her.
...
The next morning.
Wu An woke up and heard voices outside.
It sounds like Gu Anran's voice.
"What's going on? Am I still dreaming?" Wu An muttered, got up, went outside, and saw that it wasn't a dream; Gu Anran was really at home.
"You're awake."
"I heard from your sister-in-law that you drank too much when you got home yesterday. How are you feeling now?"
Gu Anran greeted them while wearing an apron.
"It's alright," Wu An replied with a smile, then asked, "Did you make breakfast?"
"Yes, Uncle and Big Brother have already eaten breakfast and left. Go wash up first, and I'll bring it out for you." Gu Anran said as she walked into the kitchen.
After washing up, Wu An sat down. On the table were wild vegetable buns, congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and some tea eggs, all made by Gu Anran herself.
Wu An stuffed the bun into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and ate it. Gu Anran poured him some water: "Eat slowly, it's all yours."
“Delicious.” Wu An said, then picked up another one and stuffed it into his mouth.
He ate the buns one bite at a time, his eating manners were a bit exaggerated.
Gu Anran was very happy.
Hearing her phone ring in the room, Gu Anran picked it up and said, "The caller's contact is saved as Director Chen."
Upon hearing this, Wu An...
He quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands, answered the phone, and before he could even speak, Director Chen's anxious yet excited voice came through the receiver: "A'an, where are you?"
"Come to the village right away."
"I'm calling you from the toilet in the town compound right now. The county and city leaders said they're going to visit the villages this afternoon, and our town's central village is the first one they've mentioned!"
"We have to thank you for your idea, which allowed us to put up banners and advertise."
"The top leader even praised us for doing a good job."
Wu An coughed and said, "Director Chen, you know the village best, so there's no need for me to show my face."
Director Chen said, "As the project investor, it's better if you explain some of the details."
Wu An: "Is this appropriate?"
“Perfect match. There’s no one more suitable than you for college students to return to their hometowns to start businesses. If you can gain exposure, the town or even the county will definitely provide resources to support you.”
"Okay, I'll get ready and head to the village now."
