At home.
Hearing the snoring coming from inside, Old Master Shen was so anxious he jumped up and down.
"Old village chief, please think of a solution!"
"High-ranking leaders from the county and city have all arrived, waiting to see Shen Nan."
"This signing ceremony was, frankly, arranged for him, but he didn't even show up. What kind of nonsense is this?"
"When the time comes, the town will blame us. We'll be left with nothing but trouble."
Shui Quan, the village committee cadre who came to find Shen Nan, was so anxious that he jumped up and down, wiping away sweat. His already sparse hair became a mess with his hands.
Grandpa Shen scooped a basin of water from the water vat and went straight into the house.
Immediately following.
Shen Nan's screams rang out.
"Grandpa, have you gone mad?"
"Are you crazy!" Old Master Shen cursed directly: "I drank until the wee hours last night and had to be carried back home."
"Did you forget about today's signing ceremony?"
"If you don't want to work hard, you should go find your parents."
During this period of time.
The old man was seething with anger.
Today, Shennan opened champagne at halftime, got drunk, and was late for the signing ceremony, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
He realized that this kid, like his father, was a hopeless case.
He couldn't understand it.
At first, Shen Nan was quite good.
But how did it turn out like this?
Whether it's buying a car or dating, nothing seems to go as planned.
He was told not to buy a nice car, but he bought an Audi. He was told not to date random girls, but he immediately found one and they even got into a fight in town, making him lose face.
The more the old man talked, the more disobedient Shen Nan became.
Shen Nan has always been obedient and sensible since he was a child.
Has the rebellious phase arrived so late?
Upon hearing about the signing ceremony, Shen Nan was jolted awake, realizing the seriousness of the situation. He opened his mouth to retort, but forcibly held back.
He quickly got up.
Get dressed and fix your hair.
As a result of the activity being too vigorous, I burped and immediately rushed to the toilet.
Gentlemen.
Listen to the dragon's roar.
He started vomiting loudly.
Grandpa Shen, on the contrary, calmed down, chuckled twice, picked up his palm-leaf fan, walked to the recliner, and slowly lay down.
He gently waved the palm-leaf fan and closed his eyes.
That's all.
That's settled then.
The old man didn't make a big fuss; he was completely heartbroken.
After vomiting and expelling all his bitterness, Shen Nan hurriedly ran out of the house.
...
In order to watch a play.
Gu Anran drove directly to Xiaoxi Village, where she encountered Shen Nan, who was rushing towards the village committee, at the intersection, and almost bumped into him.
Gu Anran was startled: "Is this considered a staged accident?"
Shen Nan saw Wu An and Gu Anran sitting in the car. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt nauseous, quickly went to the roadside, squatted down, and vomited.
After spitting out and wiping his mouth, he continued running towards the village committee.
He has to go as long as he doesn't vomit to death.
This is a major event concerning his future. If things go wrong and the project fails, he'll be finished.
After Shen Nan disappeared from sight, Gu Anran suddenly realized and said, "This... Anran, he was tricked quite badly by you."
Wu An smiled and said, "He is a bit pitiful."
Being late for such an important occasion, Shen Nan, you're in trouble.
Gu Anran nodded: "There is always something hateful about a pitiful person."
Wu An snapped his fingers: "That makes sense."
The couple burst into laughter.
They really are a perfect match; like attracts like.
Drive to the village committee.
There were open spaces everywhere, so Wu An asked Gu Anran to park the car next to Shen Nan's Audi.
I didn't go in immediately.
After parking the car, I looked out the window at the village committee building.
It's quite lively.
There are a lot of people.
How will Shen Nan perform when all the negative buffs are stacked up?
If they could perform normally like this, then Shen Nan wouldn't be Shen Nan.
Gu Anran asked, "Aren't we going in to take a look?"
Wu An smiled and said, "Let the bullets fly for a while."
...
Inside the house.
Shen Nan walked in, suppressing his nausea, and under Wu Yingwei's guidance, introduced himself and presented the project from his prepared script.
The project is actually not complicated; in some places, it's something that's already been done before.
But any project that can make money is a good project. Just because someone else has already done it doesn't mean it's no longer viable. On the contrary, it's precisely because others have done it well that they can do it too.
Just copying homework.
There's an old saying: "The student surpasses the teacher."
Others are feeling their way across the river, taking detours along the way, but by copying their homework, we can avoid detours, move forward smoothly, and even overtake others on curves.
However, the leaders were very disappointed.
Their first impression of Shen Nan wasn't very good to begin with, and on top of that, Shen Nan's report was also hesitant and his performance was quite poor.
The leader took a sip of tea and asked, "Actually, you could have had better opportunities outside, so why did you come back to the village?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan said, "I know how to answer this question."
Last night, while drinking and bragging, Lin Hu already gave the standard answer.
“...My grandfather was the village chief, and he dedicated his life to Xiaoxi Village. I have a responsibility and an obligation to do my best for the development of the village…”
"I want the villagers to live a better life."
"To lead the villagers to prosperity and a better life."
"..."
He spoke at length, and even he got excited while talking.
The leader smiled and nodded, but he was unmoved and even a little tired of listening to it. Why? After visiting the surrounding villages these past two days.
What I hear most often are these empty and grandiose statements. If you ask me for more specific details, such as how many jobs will be created and the project's profitability, I can't answer them.
The leader still asked.
Shen Nan stammered and changed the subject.
The leaders didn't have any higher expectations, so they said some polite words, saying that they were just visiting and shouldn't delay important matters, and that the village should proceed as planned.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
After walking around these past two days, the young man from Zhenzhong Village performed the best. He didn't make empty promises or boast, but was realistic. He even clearly stated how many jobs he would create.
The start of the homestay project also spurred the improvement of village roads. Although the gravel roads are not in great condition, at least the villagers no longer have to walk on muddy roads on rainy days.
These obvious benefits are better than anything else.
Moreover, this young man in front of me not only couldn't speak coherently, but he also reeked of alcohol, looking like he had just woken up from a hangover.
Will this work?
The leaders remained outwardly calm, but inwardly they had already given Shen Nan a thumbs down.
Next comes the signing process.
There wasn't much to see. The county and city leaders stood together, chatting about other things, while Leader Qi sat beside them, sweat dripping from his forehead.
It's not hot.
This is cold sweat.
Xiaoxi Village's performance was less than satisfactory.
They were originally going to stay for dinner, but the secretary said there were other arrangements, so they wouldn't be staying. The leaders would leave as soon as the signing ceremony was over.
Meanwhile.
Although Wu An didn't seem to go inside, he actually had a clear understanding of the situation inside because someone was communicating with him via text message.
He was relieved to learn that Shen Nan had performed poorly.
Although I feel a little sorry for my dad, it's okay. He will naturally find a way to make it up to him in the future.
He straightened his clothes, which were actually the same ones he wore yesterday. As he got out of the car, he bumped into the leaders at the entrance.
The high-ranking leader already remembered him, and now that Shen Nan was in the background, the impression was even stronger. He even took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Wu An, what a coincidence!"
Wu An greeted them, "Oh, leaders, all the leaders are here. Actually, I'm from this village."
See how the leader reaches out.
He quickly reached out and shook hands with her.
