Chapter Twenty-Three: The Unwilling Village Chief
Seeing the intimate appearance of Mayor Zhang and Xia Ping, it was the turn of the village chief to petrify.
Could it be that Xia Ping's family and the new Mayor Zhang have any relatives? This is impossible, can they not know the details of Xia Ping's family? Their family has been poor peasants for eight generations, and how can they have any relatives who are officials.
Could it be that Xia Ping met when he was going to school outside?
That's not right, looking at Mayor Zhang's attitude towards Xia Ping at this time, it is even closer than his own son. What ability does Xia Ping have to make Mayor Zhang look at him so differently.
The village chief couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to leave, because he was afraid that Xia Ping would shake off the matter of his private land sale. If the mayor intervenes, his plans will be ruined.
In fact, at this time, it was not only the village chief who was a little confused, but even Xia Ping himself was a little confused.
He was sure that he didn't know this Mayor Zhang at all, and he hadn't even seen him. So he also wondered why Mayor Zhang knew him.
When he took over as the general manager of the Jianghuai branch of Huaneng Group, Xia Ping clearly remembered that he had strictly controlled his image leakage, and that none of the newspapers on the market now published his photos positively.
So how does Mayor Zhang, who is a province away from him, know himself?
"Hehe, don't mind Mr. Xia Ping,"
Mayor Zhang seemed to see the confusion in Xia Ping's eyes, and explained with a smile: "Although there is no photo of you in the outside world, we have it inside." After all, we need to deal with you all the time. ”
"And Mr. Xia Ping, you and I are fellow villagers, so I will pay more attention to you. I really didn't expect to see a real person so soon. ”
After hearing Mayor Zhang's words, Xia Ping suddenly realized.
After all, Huaneng is a state-owned group that integrates administration and commerce. He took over as the general manager of Huaneng's JAC branch, and his level can even be compared with **, so it is reasonable to circulate his own photos internally.
Mayor Zhang was polite. I'm here just to go home and help develop the economy of my hometown. ”
"Haha, I'm relieved to have your words, Mr. Xia Ping. ”
Mayor Zhang seemed to have been waiting for Xia Ping's words, and excitedly took Xia Ping's hand and said, "With your help, our town finally doesn't have to hold the country back." Mr. Xia Ping, you can just let it go, as long as I can help, you can just speak. Whether it's in the village or in the town, you will be given a through train. ”
For Xia Ping's words, Mayor Zhang is absolutely confident.
Let's not talk about whether Xia Ping has any good plans, even if he doesn't have a plan, just by smashing it with money, he can make this place a second Huaxi Village.
For the people in the village, this is a benefit, but for themselves, it is a success.
"Speaking of which, Mayor Zhang, I have a question that you need to answer for me. ”
Looking at the village chief who was frowning not far away, Xia Ping suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "I recently heard that someone wants to buy the orchard in our village. However, in my opinion, if we don't do a good job of traffic conditions here, no matter how rich the orchard output is, it will not produce much economic benefits. I don't understand why anyone would fall in love with this remote place. ”
"Oh, this matter, it seems that someone got the news in advance. ”
Mayor Zhang didn't seem to be too surprised by this.
"In fact, early on, the city decided to build a highway to connect this place with the city. Don't look at the highway when we don't see it, we are a mountain here, but if we connect to the highway, we will be a paradise here. ”
"I think someone must have gotten the inside scoop from us, so they bought the land ahead of schedule. When this place is developed, it will be sold at a high price. ”
"But don't worry, we're certainly not going to do this kind of killing. As long as we have a highway here, plus your investment, sooner or later it will become a real paradise. As long as the villagers are not stupid, they must know how to choose. ”
Mayor Zhang didn't lie. It's just that the reasons are a little biased.
It is true that the economic development of the village is conducive to the villagers, and it is also a ladder for their future progress. Just for one point, Mayor Zhang will not give up his good future for the sake of this immediate benefit.
"By the way, Mr. Xia Ping, what were you talking about with Village Chief Zhao just now?"
It was only at this time that Mayor Zhang finally remembered Village Chief Zhao, who had been standing behind him and was secretly anxious.
"It's nothing, I just talked to Village Chief Zhao about the development of the village. ”
Xia Ping just smiled briefly. He did not tell Mayor Zhang of his intention to sell the land without permission.
After all, now Village Chief Zhao only has this idea and has not put it into action. Even if Xia Ping asks Mayor Zhang, he can only curb his behavior, but he can't punish him, so this kind of thing will definitely happen in the future.
What's more, Xia Ping also wants to use Village Chief Zhao to cast a long line to catch big fish. You can't ruin your plans at this time.
"Haha, Lao Zhao, I thought you were a big boss, but I didn't expect you to hide it deeply. It's really unrighteous to act secretly and not tell me. ”
Mayor Zhang turned around and patted Village Chief Zhao on the shoulder, revealing a meaningful smile.
Hearing Xia Ping say that Village Chief Zhao was talking to him about his own development just now, Mayor Zhang subconsciously thought that Village Chief Zhao must have recognized Xia Ping's identity. Otherwise, how could this village chief Zhao, who is usually above the top, find a young man to talk about development.
"That's what Mayor Zhang said. ”
Although Village Chief Zhao was not far from the town mayor and Xia Ping, he couldn't hear what was being said between them.
So after hearing Mayor Zhang's words, Village Chief Zhao subconsciously thought that Xia Ping must have told him about selling his land privately.
However, what puzzled Village Chief Zhao was that he knew that he was selling land privately, how could Mayor Zhang not look angry at all. It seems that there is some intention to intervene.
Village Chief Zhao couldn't guess the mayor's thoughts, so he could only ask cautiously tentatively, "What does the mayor mean by us?"
"Cooperation, of course. You can't do it alone. ”
I saw Mayor Zhang say to Village Chief Zhao seriously: "As for this matter, we must keep it a secret." ”
Village Chief Zhao nodded approvingly.
"However, the stakes are high. You only need to coordinate the affairs of the village, and we will take care of the rest. ”
In fact, Mayor Zhang also meant to say this.
After all, to accept Xia Ping's investment, Village Chief Zhao is not qualified enough. Moreover, Village Chief Zhao did not go to much school, and he was definitely not familiar with things like investment and development, so let him receive Xia Ping, things will only get worse, not better.
That's why Mayor Zhang took the initiative to take this responsibility.
But Mayor Zhang's words were in the ears of Village Chief Zhao, and that meant the exact opposite.
This Mayor Zhang is really insatiable. I have obviously given up some of my interests and want to cooperate with him. Unexpectedly, he thought of it all.
He ate meat, and he didn't even give himself a sip of soup.
"Mayor Zhang, things can't be said like this, anyway, I am also the head of this village, how can such an important matter not have my help?"
"Alright, Village Chief Zhao. ”
I saw that Village Chief Zhang patted Village Chief Zhao on the shoulder again, interrupting Village Chief Zhao's thought of continuing, and said in a tone that could not be ignored.
"I know that Village Chief Zhao wants to contribute to the village strongly, but this matter is very important, and it is really not something you can bear, even I am reluctant. So don't say these stubborn words again, I will definitely give you the opportunity in the future. ”
Mayor Zhang looked at Village Chief Zhao with a regretful face.
With such a good village chief under his hands who is dedicated to the development and welfare of the village, how can Mayor Zhang not be happy.
At this moment, Mayor Zhang seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked down at his watch, and then a trace of anxiety appeared on his face.
"Well, Mr. Xia Ping, I still have some things to deal with. Let's take my leave here. I'll be sure to visit another day. ”
"You don't have to visit. ”
Xia Ping hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't want to cause too much of a sensation here." Since Mayor Zhang has something to do, let's get busy first. Don't worry about me, I'm just here for the village chief's wedding banquet this time. ”
"Okay, Mr. Xia Ping, we'll talk another day. ”
Before leaving, Mayor Zhang also pulled Village Chief Zhao to give him a personal instruction.
"You must treat Xia Ping well, and you must not let him make a mistake. ”
Mayor Zhang didn't say much, nor did he mention Xia Ping's identity. In his opinion, he and Village Chief Zhao must be tacitly aware of this kind of thing, and it is useless to talk too much.
However, it was Mayor Zhang's idea that made Village Chief Zhao misunderstand him more and more.
"TMD robbed Lao Tzu's money, forget it, and don't let Lao Tzu touch that kid, you will be great as a town mayor. ”
Looking at the back of Mayor Zhang's departure, Village Chief Zhao despised it fiercely in his heart.
Then he turned his gaze to Xia Ping again, and his body paused. Then he turned around and left without hesitation.
"The hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, I just went back to move the rescuers, and I definitely wasn't afraid of that Mayor Zhang. ”
"Just let him go?"
Of course, the village chief's departure could not escape the eyes of Xia Ping and Wu Xinyu.
It's just that Wu Xinyu doesn't understand why Xia Ping let go of the village chief so easily. Because this village chief is obviously not a good person.
"Don't worry, someone like him, even if we let him go, he will take the initiative to send him to the door. Maybe I'll bring some gifts. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Ping raised his eyebrows at Wu Xinyu with a smile, and there was a hint of intriguing in his eyes.
On the other side, Village Chief Zhao, who returned home, simply became more and more angry the more he thought about it.
I have worked hard for so long, and I was actually picked by this newly arrived mayor. After being the village chief for so many years, Village Chief Zhao has never been so aggrieved.
No, you must not be cowardly, otherwise how will you mix here in the future.
Isn't it just the mayor of a town? Do you think Lao Tzu is really afraid of you?
Thinking of this, Village Chief Zhao took out his mobile phone without hesitation and dialed a phone number.
