In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

Wang Jianguo solemnly took the note with both hands. His fingers gently stroked the edge of the note, feeling the texture of the paper.

Then he carefully folded the paper in half, and then in half again, as if he were treating a precious treasure.

Then, he slowly put the note into his pocket, and pressed lightly on the outside of the pocket a few times with his hands to make sure the note stayed there securely.

Wang Jianguo raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on Song Guohua again, and said with a hint of caution in his tone:

"Director Song, there is a Secretary Dong in the city. Do you know him?"

When Song Guohua heard this question, a thoughtful gleam flashed in his eyes.

He raised his head slightly, leaned back in his chair, tapped the armrests with his fingers, and fell into memories. After a moment, he slowly spoke:

"I know him, but we're not close. Secretary Dong is an important leader in the city, he holds a high position and has great power, and he's busy with all kinds of important matters all day long."

"As for me, I am just the director of this small commune, managing local affairs in this remote place."

"I know him, but how could he know me? Hey, why are you asking about Secretary Dong?"

Wang Jianguo quickly leaned forward and explained seriously:

"Director Song, this is what I mean. Our supply and marketing cooperative has almost been cleaned up now."

"We thought, if we really can't find the resources of the glass factory, then we will go visit Secretary Dong."

"See if he can help solve our problem. After all, he has a certain influence in the city and may be able to show us a way out."

Song Guohua frowned slightly, with a look of worry on his face. He shook his head gently and said:

"It would be good to ask him for help, but we are in a remote area with inconvenient transportation and relatively isolated information."

"Secretary Dong is very busy, dealing with all sorts of major issues concerning the entire city, so he may not be willing to help us with this small favor."

Wang Jianguo's eyes revealed a determined light, and he said firmly:

"We have to give it a try. How can we know the result if we don't try? If he doesn't help us, we will think of other ways."

"No matter what, we can't give up easily. We must try every possible way to build the supply and marketing cooperative well and provide better services to the villagers."

Song Guohua nodded slightly and picked up the pen thoughtfully. The pen seemed to come to life in his hand.

He was writing something on the paper with a focused expression, and every word was filled with his expectations and instructions.

After finishing writing, he opened another drawer and took out the official seal, which exuded a solemn atmosphere, as if carrying endless responsibilities.

Song Guohua placed the official seal firmly on the paper, making a slight "pop" sound.

Then, he handed the paper with the official seal and words written all over it to Wang Jianguo and said slowly:

"I wrote you a letter of recommendation, but to be honest, I'm not sure if it's any good."

"This Secretary Dong is a retired soldier who returned to the city. He is upright and resolute."

"It is said that he lives in the military compound, but that place is not open to anyone."

I'm really not sure if you can meet him, it all depends on your luck."

Wang Jianguo respectfully took the note handed over by Song Guohua with both hands. The note seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

He carefully placed the note together with the address, as if he was protecting his most precious treasure.

The two stood up and said goodbye to Song Guohua. Their eyes were full of gratitude. Song Guohua smiled and nodded, watching them leave.

Walking out of the commune gate, the sunshine outside shone on his body, but Wang Jianguo did not feel warm. His heart was full of uncertainty about the future.

Wang Jianguo turned to Zhao Shuzhuo and said:

"Let's go, let's go to Zhao Xiande's house again and explain everything to him."

When Zhao Shuzhuo heard this, his brows instantly frowned and he waved his hands repeatedly. A look of disgust appeared on his face, and he said:

"I won't go. I get annoyed when I see his face. Brother Jianguo, just do your hard work and go by yourself. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there's anyone who needs help."

After saying that, Zhao Shuzhuo ran away like a gust of wind.

Wang Jianguo looked at Zhao Shuzhuo's receding back, shook his head helplessly, and stood there alone, looking particularly messy like a leaf blown by the wind.

The wind blew gently, blowing up the corners of his clothes and messing up his thoughts. He walked towards Zhao Xiande's house.

With a complicated and solemn mood, he slowly walked towards Zhao Xiande's home.

His footsteps were a little heavy, and each step seemed to be filled with deep thought.

When he finally arrived at Zhao Xiande's familiar home, he stopped.

He calmed himself down a bit, then raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

The crisp knock on the door echoed in the silent air, as if telling a story that was about to unfold.

After a moment, the door slowly opened and Zhao Xiande's familiar face appeared before his eyes.

When Zhao Xiande saw that the person coming was Wang Jianguo, he was stunned at first, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a warm smile immediately broke out on his face.

"Comrade Jianguo, come in quickly, come in quickly."

As Zhao Xiande spoke, he quickly welcomed Wang Jianguo into the house.

The layout of the house is simple and warm, exuding a simple atmosphere.

Zhao Xiande enthusiastically poured a cup of tea for Wang Jianguo. The steaming hot tea seemed to tell of the host's hospitality. Zhao Xiande looked at Wang Jianguo and asked with a smile:

"Comrade Jianguo, have you bought the train tickets and gifts? There's no need to go to such trouble to come and see you off. We can just leave together on the day of departure."

Wang Jianguo smiled coldly after hearing this, which seemed to contain endless disappointment and dissatisfaction. He said slowly:

"Village Chief Zhao, we didn't have a very pleasant conversation yesterday. You're obviously not too willing to go to the city this time."

"In that case, we can't force you. You don't have to go with us. We will find a way to solve it ourselves."

When Zhao Xiande heard this, his face darkened instantly, as if covered by a dark cloud. His eyes were filled with anger, and he asked sternly:

"What do you mean? Yesterday you begged me and threatened me, and I finally agreed to take you to see Secretary Dong. Now you don't appreciate it?"

"Want to get rid of me? Let me tell you, without me, you will never be able to find Secretary Dong."

Wang Jianguo showed no fear and responded calmly:

"There will always be other ways, so you don't have to worry about it."
