Chapter 351
The election for the mayor of the village begins today.

The conference was held at the village committee of Yuanshan Village and hosted by technical instructor Liu Wanting.

There are a total of 400 households in Yuanshan Village, and each adult in each household has one vote, which is about [-] votes.

After the villagers voted, Liu Wanting began to sing the votes:
"Zhou Chen."

"Zhou Chen."

"Hubu Valley."

"week……"

After counting the votes, Zhou Chen's votes were more than 150 votes higher than Hu Bugu's.

Hu Bugu's complexion suddenly darkened, and he stood in the same place numbly. Although the result was within his expectation, when he actually faced it, it was really unacceptable.

He secretly scolded these villagers for saying yes when they collected his leather shoes.

He made up his mind to go home later and throw all the more than 100 right leather shoes into the river.

Liu Wanting announced on the stage in a serious manner: "Next, I invite Zhou Chen, the new head of Yuanshan Village, to give a speech on stage."

Zhou Chen looked at the unhappy village chief Hu, walked up to the stage, waved his hands and said, "Actually, I don't care whoever is the village chief, besides, I'm just a foreigner, working as a teaching researcher in Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital , can’t be too busy, this Village Chief Hu, although he is not used to it, but his character is not bad, I think, this village chief, he has to let Village Chief Hu do it, first of all, he is familiar with the procedures, after all He has been working for so many years, I am a young man, I really can't do the job of village chief, I can only live up to everyone's good intentions!"

Hearing this, Village Chief Hu was so moved that he couldn't speak. He looked at Zhou Chen with tears in his eyes.

This kid, I saw the right person.

All the villagers in the audience hissed, and they shouted for Zhou Chen to be the village head.

Zhou Chen continued to explain: "Actually, I think everyone has misunderstood Village Chief Hu. You see, Yuanshan Village Primary School was able to get approval and donations, and he also owed a lot of credit. He ran here and there, drinking a lot, laughing. No less compensation, no less anger..."

In fact, the position of village head is not very attractive to Zhou Chen.

In the end, under Zhou Chen's repeated insistence, the villagers reluctantly agreed to continue to let Hu Bugu succeed him.

Liu Wanting announced again: "Then please invite Hubugu Village Chief to speak on stage."

Seeing that his successor village head was not well received by everyone, Hu Bugu stepped onto the stage with a face of embarrassment, and said: "I, Hu Bugu, have not contributed much to Yuanshan Village after I have been in office, but I will continue to work hard for Therefore, I decided to build an asphalt road into the village, so that everyone will no longer have to travel on dirty dirt roads!"

As soon as this remark came out, the villagers applauded him one after another.

This was unexpected by everyone, and the village party secretary Liu Wanting and Zhou Chen also turned their heads to look at him.

After the meeting, the villagers dispersed one by one.

Hu Bugu stepped down to hold Zhou Chen, and whispered:
"Xiaochen, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Chen stopped in his tracks and asked:

"I was also going to ask you, when did you plan to build the road? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

Village head Hu said: "I came up with an idea on the spur of the moment!"

Liu Wanting said in surprise:

"What? Temporary idea? Village Chief Hu, you have been working for so many years, you should know that there is no appropriation from above, where did you get the money to build roads?"

"Didn't I just want to express my opinion and win people's hearts? Everyone doesn't want to see me, so I have to do something to show my prestige!" Village Chief Hu said.

"The idea is correct, but you can't express your opinion indiscriminately, you... hey..." Liu Wanting was speechless with anger.

Village head Hu put on a smiling face and said to Zhou Chen:
"Xiaochen, can you help me find a way? I don't have any money."

Zhou Chen said: "I also thought about building roads before, but I have to wait a few years. You are making such a mess now... I don't have that much money for the time being."

"How about asking the villagers to raise funds?" Hu said.

Liu Wanting probably made the calculations and said, "This road costs at least 200 million yuan. If you calculate it, each household must scrape together at least 2 yuan!"

2 yuan, for an ordinary family in Yuanshan Village, it will take a year and a half to two years to get out of the village.

Zhou Chen said: "Mr. Hu, your idea is unrealistic."

Village Chief Hu thought for a while, and then said, "Xiaochen, in a couple of days, I'll go for a run with you to clear up the relationship and see if we can get some special funds or subsidy funds."

"At present, I'm afraid that's the only way to go!" Zhou Chen said.

……

After the donation funds for the establishment of Yuanshan Village Primary School were in place, and after the preliminary geological survey, the preliminary construction has already started in full swing.

The construction of the new campus of Yuanshan Village Primary School is planned according to the high specifications and standards of Jiangzhou Li Primary School.

A teaching building is divided into five floors, and each floor has a grade. There are five grades in elementary school.

Basketball court, football field, canteen...everything is available.

Wu Di will serve as the first principal and substitute teacher of the new primary school. If there are insufficient teachers, they will be recruited from outside in the future.

Yuanshan Village was very lively today, many people were invited to dinner, and a cow was specially slaughtered.

The purpose of this gathering is fourfold:

One is to celebrate the new primary school in Yuanshan Village.

The second is to celebrate Wu Di as the first principal.

The third is to celebrate Hu Bugu's succession as village head.

The fourth is to welcome Liu Wanting, the new village party secretary of Yuanshan Village.

Fifth, and most importantly, thank Zhou Chen for his help to Yuanshan Village.

Boss Wang, the contractor of the construction team, also came, and he sat at the same table with Zhou Chen.

He smiled very politely and raised his glass to offer a toast to Village Chief Hu, saying:

"Brother, I heard that your chicken farm is going to be expanded?"

Village Chief Hu nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Did someone contract it?"

Village head Hu said, "Not yet."

"Then can you contract this project for me?" Boss Wang said.

"You? You want to build a primary school again, and also contract to expand the chicken farm? You are busy at both ends, can you handle it?"

Boss Wang gulped it down and said, "It's a small matter, I have a lot of workers under me, and I can handle three or five more projects."

Village head Hu smiled, toasted, and said, "I don't have any money now, otherwise the reconstruction of the chicken farm would have started!"

"It doesn't matter, I can advance the money first!"

Village head Hu wondered for a while, Boss Wang, who has always been an iron rooster and does not start work when he sees no money, actually said that he can make an advance payment?

Is the sun coming out of the west?

At this moment, there is no need to tell him about the 300-acre land lease contract, any assets, etc., he just agreed so happily.

Village head Hu said coyly, "I don't have any money myself!"

"No problem, no problem!"

Village head Hu couldn't figure it out more and more.

In fact, Boss Wang is quite shrewd.

First, I saw that Zhou Chen, who was next to Village Chief Hu, had a Land Rover, and Cullinan felt that he was very financially powerful.

Even if Village Chief Hu can't come up with the money after he helps the village expand the chicken farm, at least he can use Zhou Chen's two luxury cars to pay off the debt.

Secondly, he wanted to take this opportunity to get close and lend favors to Village Chief Hu and Zhou Chen, and they would help him if he had any difficulties in the future.

"That's fine."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Village Chief Hu readily agreed.

After drinking and eating, it was already late.

People walked and scattered, Liu Wanting staggered towards Zhou Chen carrying the cup:
"Come... Cheers!"

Seeing that she was already drunk, Zhou Chen took the wine glass from her hand and put it on the table, saying:
"Stop drinking! I'll take you back."

"No, I can still drink..." Liu Wanting looked at Zhou Chen with drunken eyes and said.

Zhou Chen helped her into the car: "You smell of alcohol all over, are you still drinking?"

"I'm not drunk, I'm happy today!"

Zhou Chen sent her to the residence of the village committee.
