He did not suspect that Wang Fugui had other intentions.
Because what Wang Fugui said is indeed a big problem.
"Jianmin, let me tell you the truth."
Wang Fugui brewed his emotions for a while and said slowly: "Actually, I have no other purpose in letting you go back to the village to set up a factory. I just want to use your ability to boost the village's economy."
"You also know that I have no abilities. Even if I were to be the village chief, I would not be able to improve everyone's living standards."
"But now that you are back, the situation is different. You have improved everyone's living standards, and everyone will naturally remember your kindness."
Just hearing this, Zhao Jianmin felt that he was a great man.
"Fugui, you have paid so much for this village." Zhao Jianmin still felt a little sorry for Wang Fugui.
Seeing his moved expression, Wang Fugui smiled proudly.
"Hey, it doesn't matter how much I pay." Wang Fugui lit up his cigarette and took a puff, then said seriously: "The election of the village chief will be held in a few months. I hope you will be the next village chief.
when."
These words were really beyond Zhao Jianmin's expectations.
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 as for the village chief, you should be the one." Zhao Jianmin refused directly.
He felt that he could not be so ruthless and ruthless, and snatched Wang Fugui's village chief away as soon as he came back.
What's more, he has no interest in being the village chief, so he can't do that even more.
"Jianmin, I know you are thinking about me, but you have also seen that after so many years, the villages next door have become small houses, but we have not changed at all. Facts have proved that I am really not the material."
Wang Fugui came to him, put a hand on his shoulder, and said sincerely: "Only you can lead everyone to the road to wealth."
Zhao Jianmin could feel the weight of his hand.
Rather than saying that he put his hand on Zhao Jianmin's shoulder, it would be better to say that he put the heavy burden on Zhao Jianmin's shoulder.
At this moment, Zhao Jianmin had completely fallen into the trap set by Wang Fugui.
I also think Wang Fugui is a man with lofty ideals and ambitions.
"Fugui, this really doesn't work. I can understand how you want to contribute to everyone." Zhao Jianmin thought of a way to have both ends, "Let's do this, you will continue to be the village chief, and I will do my best to cooperate with you.
work."
The plan succeeded!
Wang Fugui was already 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 chief, I won't force you."
The position of village chief is more important to him than life.
How could he be so kind and give it away?
What I just said was just to get Zhao Jianmin into the situation.
"Then what should I do now?" Zhao Jianmin asked.
Speaking of which, he is not a simple person after traveling around for so many years.
It’s just that he values Wang Fugui too much, believes in their friendship, and believes that Wang Fugui cannot deceive them.
Therefore, he was completely unprepared for Wang Fugui.
"This brings us back to the topic we talked about at the beginning." Wang Fugui put out his cigarette butt, "The roads in the village are indeed very bad, and the villagers have complained about this. I have also complained to my superiors several times, but
The superiors don’t pay much attention to it, so if we want to build roads now, we have to rely on our own strength.”
Zhao Jianmin quickly understood that the focus of Wang Fugui's words was to build roads.
"It's a simple matter. I just need to fund the construction of the road." Zhao Jianmin smiled and took a sip of tea.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems to him.
Wang Fugui immediately continued what he said and said seriously: "It is related to the welfare of the entire village. How can I let you contribute the money alone? I know you have money, so you will contribute the bulk, and I will go to the village to raise funds for the rest."
In fact, he also knew that it would be fine for Zhao Jianmin to pay for the road construction alone.
But why did he propose to go to the village to raise funds?
That was because he wanted everyone in the village to know that he took the lead in building the road.
In that case, he can improve his status in the hearts of the villagers.
Before this, his royal power in the village was all over the sky with one hand, and he didn't need to consider these issues at all.
But today is different from the past!
Since Zhang Tiesheng's sudden rise, he can clearly feel that his prestige in the hearts of the villagers has declined.
So he was taking precautions to prepare for the upcoming village chief election.
"You know more about these things than me, so just do whatever you want." Zhao Jianmin did not argue with him.
In fact, he is like a puppet now, letting Wang Fugui play around with him at will.
It's just that he himself doesn't know this.
Wang Fugui nodded slightly, then poured water for him, turned around and thought to himself, "He is a returned overseas Chinese. He is such an idiot. He was fooled in just a few words."
He has already carried out his plan to improve his prestige by building roads in full swing.
On the other side, Zhang Tiesheng went home and told Zhang Xinyue and Zhang Dewang about this matter.
However, it was opposed by Zhang Dewang.
"Tie Sheng, people's hearts are in their belly. Even if you do too much, no one will always remember you." Zhang Dewang said sincerely.
He is an honest man and has no lofty ideals or ambitions.
In this life, he only hopes that Zhang Tiesheng and Zhang Xinyue can live a safe and happy life, and that even if he dies, he can rest in peace.
"Uncle Yao, I don't do this because I 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, but you don't want others to remember your goodness. Aren't you being thankless?" Zhang Dewang sounded a little angry.
He was confused. Zhang Tiesheng was usually quite smart, so why was he so confused at this time?
"Brother, I think this is a good thing and I support you." Zhang Xinyue saw that Zhang Tiesheng was a little unhappy and immediately stated his position.
But just after she finished speaking, she was frightened by Zhang Dewang's look and shrank back.
"Uncle Yao, how can this be thankless? This..."
This time, Zhang Dewang's attitude was very clear, that is, he disapproved of it.
"Stop talking, I don't agree with this." Zhang Dewang said firmly.
In fact, he was afraid that Zhang Tiesheng would suffer a loss and that Zhang Tiesheng would spend the unjust money.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhang Tiesheng didn't want to try to persuade him.
"We'll talk about it later." Zhang Tiesheng picked up the hoe and said, "I'm going to work in the fields first."
After saying that, he went out.
Zhang Xinyue immediately chased him out, "Brother, don't get angry with my dad. It's not like you don't know his temper."
