Wang Fugui thought hard and couldn't figure out how Zhang Tiesheng met Meng Wenze.
So he didn't believe it was true at all.
"Mr. Meng, don't be deceived by him. This kid has a lot of tricks and evil intentions." Wang Fugui said seriously.
Zhang Tiesheng didn't care at all about Wang Fugui's "crimes".
"Village Chief, it doesn't matter what kind of person I am, Mr. Meng is talking to you about the school right now." Zhang Tiesheng said without being arrogant or arrogant.
Wang Fugui glared at him fiercely, but before he could speak, Meng Wenze spoke first.
"By the way, Village Chief Wang, let's get back to business and talk about the school situation." Meng Wenze looked at Wang Fugui with a calm expression.
Although he didn't look angry, this expression put a lot of pressure on Wang Fugui.
After thinking for a long time, he knew that the school could no longer hide the matter.
"Mr. Meng, to be honest, the school in the village was abandoned a long time ago." Wang Fugui pretended to be sad.
Zhang Tiesheng has already told Meng Wenze about this matter.
But when Wang Fugui said this, he still pretended to be surprised and said, "How could a school be abandoned if it's a good school?"
"Why……"
Wang Fugui sighed deliberately, and then said with a sentimental face: "Because most of the village is poor and it is difficult to even eat, so they don't pay much attention to education. Gradually, fewer and fewer children go to school. In the end,
If there are not many students in a school, the school will naturally not be able to run."
Although the superiors have not put much effort into the construction of Shangen Village, there is still a tuition exemption policy in terms of education.
But Wang Fugui naturally couldn't say these words to Meng Wenze.
So he made up an excuse that sounded reasonable.
But Meng Wenze didn't think it was an excuse.
The purpose of his trip was to help Zhang Tiesheng implement the construction of the school.
"Village Chief Wang, it's not okay for the villagers to have this idea. They can't leave education behind just to fill their stomachs. The next generation is the future of the motherland, so this education cannot be left behind no matter what. As the village chief, you,
We need to communicate more with the village chiefs to make them pay more attention to education." Meng Wenze preached earnestly.
Wang Fugui kept nodding while listening, "What Mr. Meng taught me is that I will publicize it with the villagers later, so that the villagers can raise their awareness and pay close attention to education."
Meng Wenze has already said what needs to be said. He feels that Wang Fugui should have the consciousness to take the matter of building a school seriously.
"Take me to my old school." Meng Wenze looked at Wang Fugui and said.
Wang Fugui immediately nodded and bowed, making a gesture of invitation.
Seeing Zhang Tiesheng following him, Wang Fugui glared and shouted: "What are you doing here? Go and plant your land."
Now he is not afraid of anyone, but he is afraid that Zhang Tiesheng will ruin his good deeds.
Because he had already greeted other villagers in advance.
For example, what Meng Wenze will ask and how the villagers will answer has already been vaccinated.
Zhang Tiesheng was the only person outside his control.
Seeing Wang Fugui's attitude towards Zhang Tiesheng, Meng Wenze couldn't help but frown.
However, due to his status and the fact that he was on official business today, he could not stand up for Zhang Tiesheng regardless of the consequences.
"Little friend Tiesheng, you have invited me to your village many times before, but I have been unable to get away. Today is a rare time to come over. Come and tell me the story of your village." Meng Wenze greeted Zhang Tiesheng cordially.
wave.
Wang Fugui knew that the presence of Zhang Tiesheng would be very detrimental to him.
He hurriedly ran to Meng Wenze and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, if you want to hear the story of our village, just let me tell it to you. What can he know?"
This time Meng Wenze did not tolerate him anymore, and his expression immediately darkened.
His expression changed. Wang Fugui took a deep breath and shouted at Zhang Tiesheng, "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear Mr. Meng asked you to come over?"
Zhang Tiesheng was also convinced, thinking, "Dear me, not only is he the best in the village at changing his face, but he is also good at maneuvering according to the wind."
"Mr. Meng, let me tell you the story of our village." Zhang Tiesheng walked with Meng Wenze, telling the story of Shangen Village as they walked.
Wang Fugui could only smile and occasionally chime in.
As the group chatted, they arrived at the abandoned school.
Half of the original school has collapsed.
The other half that has not collapsed has also become a place for nearby villagers to store matches.
Looking at the abandoned school, Meng Wenze felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Village Chief Wang, it is urgent to educate the next generation. Let's rebuild this abandoned school." Meng Wenze said with a gentle expression.
"Mr. Meng, you don't know something, this..."
As soon as Wang Fugui opened his mouth, Zhang Tiesheng knew that he wanted to stop the construction of the school.
"Mr. Meng, you really don't know something. In fact, Village Chief Wang has already prepared a piece of land to build a school." Zhang Tiesheng interrupted Wang Fugui.
"So there is such a thing." Meng Wenze was surprised at first, then looked at Wang Fugui with admiration and said: "Village Chief Wang, it seems that you also attach great importance to education."
This directly put Wang Fugui on the shelf.
"Yes, yes." Wang Fugui admitted with a wry smile.
Zhang Tiesheng immediately made a gesture of invitation and said: "Mr. Meng, let me take you to see the place chosen by the village chief."
At this time, Wang Fugui had no choice but to go with them.
Then, Zhang Tiesheng took Meng Wenze to the previous mountainous area.
Looking at the vast mountainous area, Meng Wenze said with a puzzled face: "Although this place is big, the road is too difficult to walk. We have to consider the students' problems. Let students come to such a high place to go to school. Not only do they have to walk
It’s a long way and a waste of time.”
Wang Fugui grimaced, not knowing what to say.
He never expected that Zhang Tiesheng would actually challenge him in this regard.
"Village Chief Wang, the place you chose is inappropriate. The school should be built in the original place. Since you also have this intention, then prepare the relevant documents and send them to me tomorrow, and I will give you the approval immediately.
Try to build the school in the shortest possible time." Meng Wenze stopped talking nonsense with him and directly finalized the matter.
Wang Fugui is now in a difficult situation.
"Yes, Mr. Meng, I'll be ready when we get back." Wang Fugui could only agree.
But he had already scolded Zhang Tiesheng a thousand times in his heart, "Zhang Tiesheng is a bastard. He targets me everywhere. When you beg me, see how I torture you."
As for building a school, he was powerless.
"Little friend Tiesheng, I've been gone all morning, should you invite me to your house for a meal?" Meng Wenze looked at Zhang Tiesheng kindly and said.
