Zheng Dandan looked up at the secretary, vaguely guessing why the secretary had invited her to meet. She smiled and immediately followed the secretary to the town government.
"You are Comrade Xiao Zheng, right?" The skinny Secretary Su smiled kindly when he saw Zheng Dandan.
"Hello, Secretary Su." Zheng Dandan bowed slightly and greeted.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Zheng, please don't be polite in my place. I often hear Mayor Zhao talk about you, praising you for your youth and potential. Now I finally meet you in person." Secretary Su greeted warmly.
"Thank you, Mayor Zhao. It's all thanks to the Party's good guidance." Zheng Dandan said politely.
"Hahaha, what a humble girl," Secretary Su laughed. He looked at Zheng Dandan, "I don't like beating around the bush. I called you here today because I have something to ask you."
"Are you asking me about my lawsuit against Chen Fuchang and others?" Zheng Dandan understood and asked.
"That's right, I want to know why you want to sue them?" The smile on Secretary Su's face gradually faded. Family disgrace should not be made public, and he strongly disapproved of Zheng Dandan's action of suing.
"They infringed on my interests. Is there anything wrong with me suing them?" Zheng Dandan raised her eyebrows and asked.
"You should know that we will impose penalties." Secretary Su frowned.
"Of course." Zheng Dandan nodded with a smile, then raised her eyes to look at Secretary Su with a serious look, "But what does this have to do with me?"
Secretary Su choked and didn't know how to refute.
Zheng Dandan continued, "They neglected their duties and abused their power for personal gain. The government's punishment of them is reasonable and in compliance with the law. I may have been the trigger, but even without me, the government would have still dealt with it, right? You are punishing them for their behavior, and I am suing them for infringing on my interests. We don't affect each other."
"Comrade Xiao Zheng, what you said does make sense. But the overall situation is more important. Have you considered the image of our Bailian Town?" Secretary Su looked at Zheng Dandan dissatisfiedly and said sternly, "If this matter gets out, others will laugh at us!"
"It's none of my business. I'm not part of the organization." Zheng Dandan secretly complained in her heart, feeling very disdainful of Secretary Su's remarks. However, seeing Secretary Su's earnest and worried look, she immediately suppressed all her contempt and took it seriously.
"To be honest, I have really thought about the image of our Bailian Town." Zheng Dandan said with a smile, her eyes attentive.
"Then why did you sue them?" Secretary Su was puzzled. Isn't this a contradiction?
"Secretary Su, you don't know, the dirt road in Ginkgo Village is really too bad. Every time I go back, my car is covered in mud. Especially on rainy days, it's just horrible. For the sake of our Bailian Town's image, I have decided to sponsor Ginkgo Village to build a gravel road from the village entrance to the town!"
Zheng Dandan avoided the previous topic and continued talking.
Building roads is a real effort to improve the image of Bailian Town and there is nothing wrong with it.
"What did you say? You want to build a gravel road from Ginkgo Village to the town mayor?" Secretary Su was shocked and didn't care about Chen Fuchang and the others at this time.
"Yes, we have this plan for now. I have sent someone to make a budget, and there is no big problem with funding. However, the source of materials and their approval will still require your support at that time." Zheng Dandan affirmed.
"I support you! I definitely support you!" Secretary Su was so excited that he wanted to slam his fist on the table. He looked at Zheng Dandan eagerly, his eyes slightly anxious. "When do you plan to start?"
"I just contracted the shoe factory and have to wait for the funds to come back. If nothing goes wrong, it will be about a month later." Zheng Dandan replied.
Building the road wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. The better the road conditions, the less losses the cannery's products would suffer. Zheng Dandan had already drawn up the relevant plans a few days ago, and they were just waiting for cash flow to clear before they could begin.
"Comrade Xiao Zheng, you are truly a good comrade of the Party and of human character!" Secretary Su smiled like a chrysanthemum when he heard this, and praised him highly. All the dissatisfaction he had just felt disappeared.
"It is the Party and the people who have nurtured me. It is my duty to help others become rich first and give back something," Zheng Dandan said politely.
"Comrade Xiao Zheng has a very high level of awareness. Don't worry, I will give you the green light for the road construction. As for the shoe factory, the one you contracted is not very profitable, so I will also give you the green light. I hope you can develop it well and bring in more people." Secretary Su's favorability towards Zheng Dandan increased rapidly.
"Thank you, Secretary Su," Zheng Dandan said with surprise and a sweet smile. "Speaking of which, the original decision to open the cannery in Ginkgo Village was also to provide employment for the villagers and boost the local economy."
After hearing this, Secretary Su realized that Zheng Dandan’s cannery was also in Bailian Town.
"In that case, I'll give the cannery the green light for now." Secretary Su looked at Zheng Dandan and said, he was very satisfied with Zheng Dandan's character and reassured, "Comrade Zheng, you must make achievements!"
"Go all out!" Zheng Dandan said firmly.
She works for herself, so there is no reason for her not to be dedicated.
"Very good." Secretary Su nodded approvingly and explained what had just happened. "Comrade Xiao Zheng, I wasn't targeting you just now. The image of Bailian Town really needs to be maintained. Family disgrace shouldn't be aired publicly; it's not good for outsiders to see it as a joke. If you have any complaints, you can come to me or Lao Zhao. We can help you resolve it. If you go to court, first, it means you don't trust us, and second, it damages the image of Bailian Town... Do you understand my concerns?"
"I understand your considerations." Zheng Dandan said sincerely.
As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. There is no doubt that Secretary Su has such thoughts in his position.
In reality, Zheng Dandan didn't bother going to court if she could avoid it. Borrowing favors from Cheng Huadong and paying lawyer Zhuang's commission would be both time-consuming and laborious.
But isn't it because I wasn't familiar with the people here before? Without any friendship, it would only cause trouble and annoy people.
Now that Secretary Su is here, many things will be much easier in the future.
"I'm glad you understand. I asked you to come here because I'm worried that you might be impulsive. People say that young people are full of energy. Mayor Zhao came to me before and said that he wanted you to be the director of the shoe factory. I was very hesitant. You have the burden of dozens of workers on your shoulders. Think twice before doing anything and be a little more mature." Secretary Su couldn't help but remind him.
"I understand." Zheng Dandan nodded.
She knew her character well, and was indeed impulsive at times, taking pleasure in revenge.
But it is basically within the range of her control. She has not started to fight back against Shen Shifeng and Song Shiyun yet.
Knowing that she has no power to fight back, she will not rush around.
Of course, her current personality also has its dangers. For example, Sun Qiuyu wanted to kill her, perhaps because she pushed her too far.
Secretary Su's persuasion was well-intentioned, and if she could really correct her behavior, her future business would be much more stable.
