Anqing County Hotel.
At around 6:30, six good high school classmates invited by Zhao Xiangdong came to the private room one after another. The classmates met, played happily, and sat down one by one.
At this time, Three Heroes Wang Hai opened the beer and supervised everyone filling their respective glasses.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiangdong said, "Brothers, stop looking at your phones. I invite you all to come together today to connect with each other. I remember the last time we got together, what was it?"
Fatty Mi Li said: "At the class reunion half a year ago, you drank so much that you threw up. Have you forgotten?"
Zhao Xiangdong smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes, yes, we haven't gotten together for more than half a year. My brothers have been very busy since graduation."
"No, our brothers are just busy. You are different from us. Xiangdong, who among our classmates is better than you? I heard from Sanxiong that you are now the deputy mayor? You belong to the deputy department Is it level?"
Mi Li said with an envious look.
"Agent, if you were in Liuhe Town, you could also be the deputy mayor. I was picked up as the deputy mayor."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled lightly and said disapprovingly.
"Big Donkey, you are so humble. Not to mention our class, just looking at our Anqing County, there are a few people who have reached the deputy department level at the age of 23."
"No, Xiangdong, if you become county magistrate or mayor in the future, you can help your brothers."
"Xiangdong, my family is in the fruit business. Let me ask you one thing first. When you become the county magistrate, our family will provide all the fruit plates in your guest house and conference room..."
The classmates laughed and flirted with Zhao Xiangdong.
After finishing three glasses of wine, Zhao Xiangdong looked at Sanxiong and said, "Aren't you a product promoter? I have something to ask you to help me with."
"You're welcome, you say, as long as I can do it."
Wang Hai put down his chopsticks and said cheerfully.
"Yesterday, I went to Dawa Village and tasted the walnuts grown by the villagers..."
So Zhao Xiangdong told the story about the inability to sell walnuts in Dawa Village and two other villages.
"Selling walnuts? I'm not good at this. Hey, you can sell them online."
Wang Hai frowned and suddenly pointed at Mi Li and said, "Look for him, Fatty. He is now an Internet celebrity with more than 300,000 fans."
"Oh, okay, Fatty, are you attracting fans with your golden voice?"
Zhao Xiangdong smiled.
"Hey, I can sing a song, but I didn't expect to attract more than 300,000 fans without knowing it."
Mi Li smiled sheepishly and said: "You said about selling walnuts, I can give it a try. I have also sold things online. However, before selling, I want to go to the site to see if the Dawa Village walnuts are good. It’s as good as you said.”
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Xiangdong said happily: "Of course, you also have to be responsible for your fans? Can you go tomorrow morning?"
Mi Li thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Zhao Xiangdong immediately said: "Okay, at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will pick you up at your house on time."
"Xiang Dong, you have found the right person this time. Fatty still has great appeal."
A petite female classmate answered.
"That's good, Fatty, I'll leave it to you to sell walnuts. Come on, come on, everyone raise your glasses and cheers..."
Zhao Xiangdong stood up and held up his wine happily.
After leaving the hotel, Zhao Xiangdong called the village chief Chang Desheng and informed him that he would lead an internet celebrity to live broadcast selling walnuts tomorrow.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xiangdong returned to the dormitory and saw that the lights were still on in Chen Qi's room. He remembered the encounter with the man in a white suit at the town government in the morning and knocked on her door.
"You smell like alcohol, why did you come back?"
Chen Qi opened the door, looked at Zhao Xiangdong, and said angrily.
"I went drinking with some high school classmates. Didn't I want to sell the walnuts as soon as possible?"
Zhao Xiangdong smiled and walked in. When he saw her eyes were red, he asked in surprise: "Sister, are you crying? Why...is it because of that man in the afternoon?"
"I'm not crying. I was confused just now. No, don't ask. I'm fine."
Chen Qi sighed, forced out a smile and asked, "How is the walnut sales going?"
Zhao Xiangdong looked at her and said: "There is an Internet celebrity among my classmates. I will take him to Dawa Village tomorrow morning to see and sell walnuts live."
The more Chen Qi pretended to be calm, the more Zhao Xiangdong felt that she was deliberately hiding something, and his intuition told him that there must be a story between him and the man in the white suit.
"Sister, are you really okay?"
Zhao Xiangdong looked at her with dull eyes and was a little worried about her.
"Oh, it's okay. Didn't I tell you? Why have you become a mother-in-law?"
Chen Qi squeezed out a smile and scolded, then changed the subject and said: "In the past few years, online live broadcast sales have been very popular. I wish you success. I have to go to the county organization department tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to help you."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled lightly and said: "No, I can do it myself. Hey, sister, the road conditions in Dawa Village are too bad, I plan to..."
After hearing this, Chen Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Your starting point is very good. You want to do something practical for the people, but in the final analysis, it comes down to the word "money". Where are you going to get the funds to build roads?"
Zhao Xiangdong said confidently: "I can go to the county to apply for a grant. If the walnuts in Dawa Village sell well this time, I will encourage Dawa Village to invest in walnut planting and start a company, and then use it to get a loan from the bank."
"First, going to the county to get a loan is just a fantasy, and it will be in vain. First of all, the county has no money, and if it has money, it will not invest in Dawa Village. Second, even if the bank gives you a loan, it will It doesn't meet your expectations. So, neither road can go forward. The most likely thing is that private business owners are interested in the output value of Dawa Village and invest in it, maybe they will advance the money to build the road first."
After Chen Qi analyzed it, she pointed out a way for him.
"Hey, what you said is feasible, sister. What you said made me enlightened!"
Zhao Xiangdong's eyes shone brightly.
The two people expressed their opinions on the development of Liuhe Town and discussed it for a long time.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, when Zhao Xiangdong yawned and was about to get up and leave, Chen Qi stared at him and suddenly said: "You should try to come back for dinner in the next two days."
Zhao Xiangdong frowned and asked: "Why do you remember... Oh, I know, you want me to come back and cook for you, right?"
Chen Qi stared at his handsome face and said softly: "Isn't it possible? Aren't you willing to do it?"
"Yes, yes, but do your best. Good night."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled and walked out.
Looking at Zhao Xiangdong's tall and straight back, Chen Qi's beautiful eyes revealed a touch of sadness.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xiangdong spoke to Qi Feng, went to the Party and Government Office to ask for a van, and then went to Anqing County to pick up Internet celebrity Mi Li.
More than an hour later, the two people arrived at Dawa Village. Since the van could not enter the village, Zhao Xiangdong and Mi Li walked to Dawa Village.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Zhao Xiangdong saw the village chief Chang Desheng leading the village cadres to greet him at the intersection.
"Xiangdong, you can do it. The mayor's treatment is different. You see, the villagers have come to greet you."
Mi Li looked at Zhao Xiangdong and made a joke. Along the way, he was sweating profusely due to his fat body.
"Don't say that, the villagers of Dawa Village are very simple."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled faintly.
