Chapter 159: Thankless
"And what do you mean?" Zhao Jianmin said confusedly.
He did not suspect that Wang Fugui had other intentions.
Because what Wang Fugui said is indeed a big problem.
"Jianmin, I'll tell you the truth."
Wang Fugui pondered his emotions for a while, and said slowly: "Actually, I asked you to go back to the village to set up a factory, there is no other purpose, I just want to borrow your ability to drive the economy of the village." ”
"You know, I don't have any skills, even if I am made the village head, I don't have the ability to improve everyone's living standards."
"But now that you're back, the situation is different, you've improved everyone's standard of living, and everyone will naturally remember your kindness."
Just hearing this, Zhao Jianmin felt that he was a great man.
"Fugui, you have paid too much for this village." Zhao Jianmin was still a little distressed about Wang Fugui.
Seeing his moving expression, Wang Fugui smiled proudly in his heart.
"Hey, it doesn't matter how much I give." Wang Fugui lit a cigarette and took a puff, and said with a serious face: "There are still a few months before the election of the village head, and I hope you will be the next village head." ”
These words really surprised Zhao Jianmin.
He never expected that Wang Fugui would give up the position of village chief to him.
But he didn't want to be the village chief.
"Fugui, I can understand your intentions, but if you say this village chief, you should be the one." Zhao Jianmin directly refused.
He felt that he couldn't be so ruthless and unrighteous, and as soon as he came back, he snatched Wang Fugui's village chief away.
What's more, he is not interested in being the village chief, so he can't do that.
"Jianmin, I know you are thinking about me, but you have also seen that after so many years, there are small western-style buildings living in the next village, and we have not changed at all, and it turns out that I am really not that material."
Wang Fugui came to him, pressed a hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Only you can lead everyone to the road to prosperity." ”
Zhao Jianmin could feel the weight of his hand.
It is not so much that he put his hand on Zhao Jianmin's shoulder, but that he handed over the burden to Zhao Jianmin's shoulder.
At this moment, Zhao Jianmin has completely fallen into the trap set by Wang Fugui in advance.
I also feel that Wang Fugui is a person with lofty ideals and ambitions.
"Fugui, this is really not good, I can understand the feeling that you want to contribute to everyone." Zhao Jianmin thought of a way to do both, "In this way, you will continue to be the village chief, and I will do my best to cooperate with your work." ”
The ploy has succeeded!
Wang Fugui's heart has long been happy.
"This ......"
He deliberately pretended to be embarrassed.
Then he shook his head and said, "Well, since you don't want to be the village head, then I won't force you." ”
The position of village chief is more important to him than his life.
How could it be so kind to give it away.
The words just said were just for Zhao Jianmin to enter the game.
"So what am I going to do now?" Zhao Jianmin asked.
Speaking of which, he has been out there for so many years, and he is not a simple person.
It's just that he values Wang Fugui too much, believes in the friendship between them, and believes that Wang Fugui is impossible to deceive each other.
Therefore, he was not defensive against Wang Fugui at all.
"This brings us back to the topic we talked about at the beginning." Wang Fugui snuffed out the cigarette butt, "The road in the village is indeed too bad, and the villagers also complain about it, and I have also reacted to the head several times, but the head does not pay attention to it, so if we want to build the road now, we have to rely on our own strength." ”
Zhao Jianmin quickly understood that the point of Wang Fugui's words was to build the road.
"It's simple, I can pay for the road to be repaired." Zhao Jianmin smiled and took a sip of tea.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems for him.
Wang Fugui immediately followed his words and said solemnly: "It's about the welfare of the whole village, how can you let yourself contribute alone, I know that you have money, then you will make a big deal, and I will go to the village to raise funds for the rest." ”
In fact, he also knew that it was okay for Zhao Jianmin to pay for the road by himself.
But why did he propose to go to the village to raise funds?
That's because he wants the people in the village to know that he took the lead in building the road.
In that case, he would be able to raise his standing in the hearts of the villagers.
Before this, his royal power in the village was to cover the sky with one hand, and he didn't have to think about these issues at all.
But this is not the same as it used to be!
Since Zhang Tiesheng's sudden rise, he can clearly feel that his prestige in the hearts of the villagers has declined.
So he is preparing for the upcoming village chief election.
"You know more about these things than I do, so you can do what you say." Zhao Jianmin didn't argue with him.
In fact, he is now like a puppet, let Wang Fugui fiddle with it at will.
It's just that he doesn't know it.
Wang Fugui nodded slightly, then poured water for him, turned his body and mind and thought, "What a fool to return to the overseas Chinese, you will be fooled in a few words." ”
The plan to use the construction of roads to increase his prestige was already in full swing.
On the other hand, Zhang Tiesheng went home and told Zhang Xinyue and Zhang Dewang about this matter.
was opposed by Zhang Dewang.
"Tie Sheng, people's hearts are resting their bellies, even if you do too much, no one will always remember you." Zhang Dewang said bitterly.
He was an honest man and had no big ambitions.
In this life, he only hopes that Zhang Tiesheng and Zhang Xinyue can live a safe and happy life, even if he dies, he can be blind.
"Uncle, I don't need others to remember me, I just want to do my best to do something for everyone, look at the road outside......"
Before Zhang Tiesheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Dewang.
"You do things for everyone, and you don't want others to remember your goodness, aren't you thankless?" Zhang Dewang was a little angry when he heard this.
He wondered, Zhang Tie was usually quite smart in his life, why was he confused at this time.
"Brother, I think this is a good thing, I support you." Zhang Xinyue saw that Zhang Tiesheng was a little unhappy, and immediately stated her position.
But before she finished speaking, she was frightened back by Zhang Dewang's eyes.
"Uncle, how can this be thankless, this ......"
This time, Zhang Dewang's attitude is very clear, that is, he does not approve.
"Don't say it, I don't agree with this." Zhang Dewang cut the railway.
In fact, he was afraid that Zhang Tiesheng would suffer a loss, and he was also afraid that Zhang Tiesheng would spend those unjust money.
Zhang Tiesheng saw that his attitude was so resolute, and he didn't want to try to convince him.
"We'll talk about that later." Zhang Tiesheng picked up the hoe, "I'll go to work in the fields first." ”
With that, he went out.
Zhang Xinyue immediately chased after her, "Brother, don't be angry with my father, you don't know what kind of temper he has." ”
