Since Taoyuan Village has always been the last poor village in the town, it has always been a drag on the whole town.
Therefore, few people in the entire town, from the mayor to the village chiefs, look up to the old village chief. Every time there is a meeting, he is given the smallest bench and is placed in the corner. From time to time, he is subject to some cynicism from others.
The old village chief has endured silently for so many years. He originally thought he would be scorned like this for the rest of his life. Who would have thought that Wang Dachun, an outstanding young man in Taoyuan Village, would make the entire village develop greatly in just a few months. If calculated according to GDP, Taoyuan Village It has suddenly ranked first in the town.
The old village chief wanted to feel proud, so he asked Wang Dachun to drive a luxury car to the meeting. As the saying goes, it takes thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi. Don't bully young people into poverty.
And Taoyuan Village has slowly grown up from that boy who everyone looked down upon.
"Old village chief, wouldn't it be too showy for us to drive a luxury car worth more than one million yuan to the meeting?"
"Yes, it needs to be flamboyant and high-profile. I want to see who dares to look down on our village in the future!"
After the old village chief finished speaking, he grinned, showing teeth blackened by smoke.
Wang Dachun clearly saw that the old village chief's eye circles were a little red, and the hand holding the pipe and pot was trembling slightly.
The old village chief has been working as the village chief since he can remember. At that time, his beard was still black, and he always liked to pick himself up and kiss him twice. Every time the beard pricked him, it would itch.
Although the old village chief doesn't have much ability, he is very kind to people. If anyone is in trouble, he will show up on time. If anyone gives him a gift, he will curse and throw the gift away, and will also say, "Don't use sugar coating." Cannonballs to corrupt the older generation of revolutionary party members.”
However, the old village chief doesn't accept any gifts. If someone gives him some inexpensive tobacco or alcohol, he will happily accept it.
When Wang Dachun was a child, he liked to clean the pipe pot for the old village chief, stuff the tobacco leaves into it bit by bit, and then light it with a match. The old village chief started puffing away, squinting his eyes, with a look of enjoyment.
At this time, Wang Dachun would be choked and run out to get some air. The old village chief laughed and scolded Wang Dachun for being coquettish.
The image of the old village chief when he was young appeared in his mind. Wang Dachun sighed and started the car. Time is like a butcher's knife, stabbing you again and again.
More than half of the asphalt road in Taoyuan Village has been built, and it is estimated that it will be almost ready in about half a month.
The asphalt road alone made the old village chief feel encouraged. Not only was it an asphalt road, but it was also nearly twice as wide as other village roads. It was built almost in accordance with national highway standards.
There is no way, it is different if there is sponsorship from a big boss.
The old village chief was happy, but some people were unhappy, such as Tian Daqing from the neighboring village. Seeing that the roads in Taoyuan Village were wide and classy, when the sun shone on them, the dark road surface could almost act as a mirror.
In contrast, the cement roads in Datong Village are gray and narrow, which makes people feel more and more uncomfortable the more they look at them.
Wang Dachun drove the old village chief in a luxury car and quickly arrived at the town government. The roar of the huge engine shook the glass of the conference room. When the village cadres heard the noise, they all looked out.
I saw the old village chief getting off the tall and powerful off-road vehicle, holding a pipe and pot behind his back and walking over with his head held high.
Everyone was in a daze. They felt that the old village chief's waist seemed to be much straighter than before, and there seemed to be no hunchback.
The old village chief and Wang Dachun pushed open the door of the conference room. Unexpectedly, everyone was here, including the mayor Lin Haitao.
Lin Haitao changed his previous attitude towards the old village chief and laughed when he saw the two of them, "Old Village Chief Wang, Brother Dachun, you are late!"
The old village chief smiled lightly and said, "Sorry, I just went to the gas station to fill up the car with some gas. Unexpectedly, the car's gas tank was too big. It took a long time to fill it up, so I was late."
Everyone feels a little uncomfortable, showing off their wealth! This is a naked show of wealth!
"Mr. Wang, how much does your car cost? I think this big guy costs hundreds of thousands at least!" Someone finally couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
The old village chief knocked his pipe and pot on the table and said slowly: "It's not much money, just over one million!"
Just over one million!
Everyone's lips twitched and they were speechless for a long time.
Lin Haitao laughed loudly, "It's okay, the meeting hasn't started yet. Come on, you two sit here with me."
The old village chief curled his lips, "I'd better sit on my little bench!" Then he went to the corner to find his own little bench, "Huh? Where's my little bench?"
Lin Haitao smiled awkwardly, "I asked someone to throw away the small bench. Mr. Wang, the village chief, is so respected that he can't sit on the small bench. From now on, you can sit next to me."
Wang Dachun curled his lips secretly, now he is highly respected? In the final analysis, everything still depends on strength. There is a difference between having money and having no money.
The old village chief stopped being polite and sat down next to Lin Haitao. Under his butt was a soft boss chair, which was the same as the mayor's. It was obviously Lin Haitao's deliberate arrangement.
The old village chief glanced at Tian Daqing, who looked unhappy, and said with a smile: "Village Chief Tian, how about we change?"
"snort!"
Tian Daqing snorted and said nothing. He used to sit in that seat. He didn't expect that Lin Haitao actually asked him to move back. He didn't expect that the seat that had been moved was for this old guy.
He was dissatisfied, why was this old guy oppressing him everywhere now?
Lin Haitao patted the boss's chair on the other side and said to Wang Dachun: "Brother Dachun, sit down too."
Ever since he learned about the relationship between Wang Dachun and County Magistrate Lu, Bai Xue and Tang Wenming, Lin Haitao no longer dared to look down on Wang Dachun, and was even slightly afraid of him. After all, he was well aware of Wang Dachun's difficulty.
"Mayor Lin, there is no need for outsiders to observe our cadres' meeting!"
Tian Daqing finally couldn't bear it anymore and just let the old village chief sit here, but now Wang Dachun was also riding on him. He would never forget the humiliating slap Wang Dachun gave him.
Lin Haitao glared at Tian Daqing, "Nonsense! Brother Dachun is no longer an outsider. He is the most outstanding young man in our town!"
"That's right, we all know Wang Dachun's deeds. I heard that he led Taoyuan Village to become rich. He quadrupled the villagers' income in just a few months."
"Yes, it would be great if there were young people like this in our village."
Everyone started praising Wang Dachun, praising him like a little red flower.
"you?"
Tian Daqing looked ugly. Where was the one who had agreed to jointly suppress Taoyuan Village? These cowards, when they see someone else driving a million-plus luxury car, they immediately start to flatter them.
Wang Dachun chuckled and sat down next to Lin Haitao naturally. He had already understood that whoever has the most money these days is the boss.
