"The road is long and the journey is arduous..."
Wu Tian shook his head as he spoke, then walked out with his hands behind his back.
After not leaving his house for three days, Wu Tian felt the air was so fresh as he breathed it in, and the pressure in his heart also relaxed considerably.
He walked along the village road and suddenly saw the village chief, Wang Damao, standing ahead and smoking.
He walked over and smiled, "Village Chief, what are you doing here in the middle of the day? Aren't you afraid of the sun!"
"It's you, Wu Tian," Wang Damao said, throwing his cigarette butt on the ground.
He said with a worried look, "It's difficult. Look at our village's land. In another two years, people might not even be able to live here. I'm thinking about how to deal with it."
Wu Tian looked down and saw that the yellow earth in the village was already full of potholes, with almost no flat ground.
Wu Tian also knew that this road was not easy to travel. When he drove his old broken tricycle on this road, he had almost overturned several times.
For this reason, he also sighed and said, "Yes, it's better to repair this road as soon as possible."
"To get rich, you must first build roads. If even the roads are not good, how can the village become prosperous?"
But after saying this, Wu Tian was stunned.
Wait a minute, to get rich, you must first build roads...
That's right, if we want to build the village into a prosperous village, the first step should be to repair the roads!
Thinking of this, Wu Tian hurriedly said to Wang Damao, "Village Chief, do you have any good ideas?"
Wang Damao sighed and said, "Alas, what good ideas can I have?"
"You also know that this is not a good place. Those in power are not very concerned about our development."
"My plan now is to go out and solicit sponsorships, to see which boss is willing to invest in repairing our roads."
"Once the road is built, erecting a monument or advertising for their company should not be a problem."
Listening to Wang Damao's plan, Wu Tian couldn't help but mutter to himself.
If Taohua Village were a prosperous or tourist village, it would be fine, and many companies would come to invest.
But in such a desolate and poor place, which company would come to advertise?
However, in order not to dampen Wang Damao's enthusiasm, Wu Tian still smiled and nodded, "I think this method is very good. There's no time to lose, Village Chief, you should go and try it quickly."
"This village road needs to be repaired. If the road is not repaired, our village will never get anywhere!"
Wu Tian's words gave Wang Damao confidence. He nodded and said, "Wu Tian, you are absolutely right."
"I'll go to the county tomorrow to inquire and see if there's any boss willing to help us."
And the next morning, Wang Damao indeed went to the county town.
Originally, Wu Tian thought that Wang Damao would only return disappointed.
But to his surprise, after only half a day, Wang Damao actually brought back a boss!
Wang Damao convened the village committee members and held a meeting in the conference room.
Originally, Wu Tian was not qualified to attend such meetings.
But Wang Damao invited him, so he went to listen.
The boss Wang Damao brought back was named Luo Jieshan, who was said to be a senior executive from Tongchang Road and Bridge.
Tongchang Road and Bridge was considered one of the best road and bridge companies in the county, and it had participated in the construction of many roads in the county.
Luo Jieshan was a middle-aged man with a bulging belly, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he looked very greasy.
At the meeting, Wang Damao said gratefully to Luo Jieshan, "Mr. Luo, your help this time is truly a lifesaver!"
"Our Taohua Village has been poor for so long, and it's just that no one has repaired this road, so it has never been able to develop."
"We in the entire village will never forget your help to our village today!"
The other cadres at the meeting also nodded, and their discussions were full of praise for Luo Jieshan.
Luo Jieshan smiled and nodded, "You are all too kind."
"I think this is something I should do. After all, this is a public welfare undertaking. As members of society, shouldn't we contribute to national construction?"
"To be honest, don't look at me like this now, I actually come from a rural area."
"Our village was not rich before, and I have suffered the hardships of poverty. So as soon as I heard about your Taohua Village, I immediately agreed without hesitation."
Wang Damao laughed, "So that's how it is. Mr. Luo is indeed a senior executive of Tongchang Road and Bridge, his vision is truly remarkable!"
"With a benefactor like you, how can our Taohua Village not develop."
"Everyone, am I right!"
The village cadres continued to praise and applaud, almost lifting Luo Jieshan to the sky.
Seeing the lively scene, Wu Tian on the side couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.
Really, why did they call him here for something like this?
This was not a research meeting at all; it was more like a flattery session.
Seeing that there was nothing for him here, Wu Tian thought about sneaking away and going home to sleep.
But as soon as he was about to stand up.
At this moment, he heard Luo Jieshan ask, "Village Chief, do you have a young girl named Xu Xiaofang in your village?"
This question made Wu Tian sit up straight.
Xu Xiaofang was now the primary manager of his vegetable garden. Under Xu Xiaofang's management, the garden was running in an orderly manner, and she was a particularly excellent and capable assistant.
So when he heard Luo Jieshan mention Xu Xiaofang, Wu Tian felt confused.
Why did this guy suddenly bring up Xu Xiaofang?
Could it be that he knew Xu Xiaofang?
Luo Jieshan's question made Wang Damao slightly stunned, and then he replied, "We do have a Xu Xiaofang in our village. What's wrong, Mr. Luo? How do you know Xu Xiaofang?"
Luo Jieshan smiled and said, "Indeed, I knew Xu Xiaofang was from your village."
"I don't know her well, but we've spoken a few words."
"Since I'm here today, why don't you call Xu Xiaofang over, Village Chief?"
When Wang Damao heard that Xu Xiaofang had some connection with Luo Jieshan, he immediately became excited.
He felt that this was a good opportunity, and perhaps it could better promote the road reconstruction.
So he quickly called a village cadre to pass a message to Xu Xiaofang.
Soon, Xu Xiaofang rushed to the conference room.
Xu Xiaofang was wearing a white dress today. Because she had run in a hurry, her fair skin was slightly flushed, and her whole body was slightly heaving with her breathing.
Her appearance instantly added a lot of charm to the entire conference room.
The village cadres present all nodded secretly, thinking that Xu Xiaofang was indeed the village beauty, so beautiful!
