Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

"Humph."

Secretary Feng snorted coldly and pointed at Zhao Xiyan with his finger, "Be careful, kid... Otherwise, I'll hit myself with a brick and you'll have to pay for your toilet paper factory."

"I'm sorry, leader. I was wrong." Zhao Xiyan said hurriedly.

"County Magistrate Li, bring the money and follow me into the city." Secretary Feng said with a squint.

"Eh."

Li Baohong was so excited that his legs became weak. Li Ze and Li Gang quickly reached out to support him.

"Li Yu, Wang Yinuo...you two should follow along, and ask the county to write me a note." Zhao Xiyan pouted and said, "Please record all the trucks and cars. I must see the county's official seal before I can give them the money."

"Yes."

Li Yu and Wang Yinuo hurriedly stood up and agreed.

"Zhao Xiyan, you are judging others by your own mean standards..." Secretary Feng said angrily.

"Old Feng, don't yell at me." Zhao Xiyan sneered, "I know your little tricks... If you don't write me a note clearly stating the delivery date, and you delay it for a year or two, can I still go to the Forty-Nine City to seek justice?"

"you……"

Secretary Feng's face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed as if his secrets had been exposed.

Indeed, he wanted to delay Zhao Xiyan for two or three years.

The toilet paper factory is doing very well, and Zhao Xiyan will definitely not wait. When he has money on hand, he will probably buy it with his own money, and the money for the car will be saved.

"Secretary, this is not right." Li Baohong said dissatisfiedly, "You are the secretary of the county party committee... why are you still lying?"

"Listen to that kid's nonsense. He has a black heart."

Secretary Feng glared at Zhao Xiyan and left in anger.

"Give me half of the money first... and the remaining half when the car arrives."

Zhao Xiyan took out a cigarette and smoked it around.

"No...Village Chief, do Secretary Feng and others agree?" Li Baohong hesitated.

"are you a pig?"

Zhao Xiyan curled his lips and said, "You are our hostage in the county. When the car comes, you can just come back with the car. You can keep the money and give it to him after the car is bought."

"Eh."

Li Baohong immediately became alert.

"Li Yu, when you go to the city, buy some clothes and shoes for County Magistrate Li and put them on the public account." Zhao Xiyan scolded with a smile, "Don't let others think you are a country bumpkin when you take up your post."

"Hey, I get it."

Li Yu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Village chief, I..."

Li Baohong was quite moved and her eyes became red.

"Don't be so fussy, just get to work. There are still many things to do in the village."

Zhao Xiyan patted his shoulder and said to Li Ze and Li Gang, "You should follow along too. Follow your father and broaden your horizons..."

"Village chief, what will you do if we all leave?" Li Gang was a little hesitant.

"Am I not human?"

Li Yun said dissatisfiedly, "I am the village chief's right-hand man... If you leave, I will take care of the matter."

Right-hand man?

The corners of Li Gang and Li Ze's mouth twitched slightly.

They grew up together, how come they didn't realize that Li Yun was so shameless?

"Okay, get out of here."

After saying this, Zhao Xiyan walked towards the door.

Li Yun immediately followed behind him.

That night.

new home.

Zhao Xiyan invited Li Yun to eat hotpot at home.

Seeing this, Yan Qing looked at him with some anger.

She really couldn't understand why Zhao Xiyan was so generous.

Nowadays, who doesn’t hide some meat?

He is the only one who is either shouting this or inviting that every day. You can't make money by doing this, right?

"We'll start expanding the toilet paper mill tomorrow."

Zhao Xiyan said seriously, "Show me all the places that can build factories... As for recruiting workers, there is no age limit, just strong people will do, but they have to be hardworking and able to endure hardships."

"Ten dollars a month, three shifts, eight hours a day, take turns to rest, eight days off a month."

"Village chief, we are all country people... Ten yuan a month is already enough, and we still have to work in three shifts? I think it's better to just work twelve hours a day like before." Li Yun said seriously.

Snapped!

Zhao Xiyan slapped him so hard that his head was crooked.

Yan Qing was immediately startled.

Li Yun is a well-known figure in the village, but Zhao Xiyan just beat him up?

"We are cadres, not capitalists. If you have such thoughts again... I will beat you to death." Zhao Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"I was wrong, I was wrong."

Li Yun was startled and raised his glass quickly, saying, "Village Chief, you know I have never seen much of the world... I will learn from you."

"That's pretty much it."

Zhao Xiyan said sternly, "Li Yun, you are younger than Li Baohong... Don't just focus on our small place of Lijiatun for the rest of your life. You should look further afield."

"It's a bit nonsense to say that you want to go to Beijing, but at least you should be able to join the county party committee. This is what you should strive for."

"Yeah, the village chief is right. I haven't read much and don't have much knowledge. I will work hard in the future." Li Yun said seriously.

"very good."

Zhao Xiyan nodded and said, "We will start recruiting workers tomorrow. Send out the notice. Anyone who wants to make a living can come no matter how far away they are. Ask Li Jiewen to start building the staff dormitory. I will give him the blueprint tomorrow."

"Village chief, I..."

Li Yun hesitated to speak.

"Tell me, is it for your elder brother Li Lei?"

Zhao Xiyan lit a cigarette.

"How do you know?"

As soon as Li Yun finished speaking, he slapped himself in the face.

Is there anything about this village that can be hidden from Zhao Xiyan?

"Your mother is always looking for trouble with you, right?" Zhao Xiyan chuckled. "Now that you've become successful... she wants you to help your big brother?"

"Eh."

Li Yun lowered his head in shame, "Village Chief, I have a bad family background... My father died early, and it was my wife who raised us. She almost knelt down and begged me."

"I know this person, Li Lei."

Zhao Xiyan shook his head and said, "He is a good worker... but he has a bad temper. In his early years, he was a team leader in the county town, and he ended up having a fight with the factory director."

"That factory manager is too much of a bully. He deducts their wages every day. My eldest brother is also standing up for the workers..."

Li Yun said with some sadness, "But after such a commotion, he was fired, and my sister-in-law also returned to her parents' home with her children. He is now drinking heavily at home, and he will die at home sooner or later."

"Okay, I know about this." Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile, "Tell him to come to the paper mill at 8 o'clock tomorrow... If he is late, he doesn't need to come. As for the work, I will arrange it."

"Hey, thank you, village chief."

Li Yun's face was full of gratitude.

"Come, drink."

Zhao Xiyan raised his glass.

late at night.

Li Yun staggered back home.

Zhao Xiyan sat under the eaves, smoking silently.

Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, but still sat next to him, but with a distance between them.
