As for the banquet of Xia Donghai's family, it can be heard from the discussion of the neighbors that everyone is very satisfied, because there is no table of guests who do not praise today's food.

Although most of the ingredients used in the banquet were prepared by Cui Dayong, Xia Donghai had long ago told him to select the freshest ones and would rather spend more money to let the villagers eat well.

In addition to the things brought by Cui Dayong, the seafood on the banquet was basically caught by Fu Chaosheng and Xia Xiaotao themselves.

And with the blessing of the preservation beads, whether it is crab, octopus or sea bass grouper, even if it has been left for a whole night, the taste is still exactly the same as if it was just caught from the sea.

As more and more hot dishes were served on the table, the villagers also changed from initial praise to later surprise.

Because they found that the dishes served not only included various poultry and fresh vegetables, but also high-end seafood such as orchid crab and grouper.

Although this place is located on the southeast coast, even in a fishing village where every family has a boat and everyone casts nets, if you want to use wild grouper to serve wine and entertain guests, you must be a rich or noble family.

Xia Donghai's family is not rich, and there is no official. The reason why he can be so arrogant in front of the villagers today is all thanks to his good son Fu Chaosheng, who is a "hanging man".

Seeing everyone eating with relish and oil dripping from their mouths, Xia Donghai was so happy.

After almost three rounds of wine and five dishes, Xia Donghai and Sun Dabao toasted the guests a few glasses.

Since Fu Chaosheng was not familiar with the villagers, Xia Donghai asked him to greet Wang Defa's table.

Seeing Fu Chaosheng coming to pour wine for him and Qi Bin, Wang Defa chatted with Fu Chaosheng for a few words.

"Asheng, the bureau originally planned to hold a ceremony for you to be hired, but we are too busy these days, so we have to let you down for now."

Hearing Wang Defa say this, Fu Chaosheng actually felt a little relieved. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that Wang Defa didn't do this, otherwise he would have to accompany those leaders whose names he couldn't remember to say some "grand words" against his will.

"It's okay, Director Wang. The fact that our Culture and Tourism Bureau allows me to be a tourism promotion ambassador is enough to show your trust in me. As long as I have the support of you and the leaders of the bureau, nothing else matters."

"Okay, Ah Sheng, it seems that I was right about you. You will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"Don't joke, Director Wang. I'm not as capable as you say. As long as I can manage my own fishing boat well in the future, I will be satisfied."

"You are being modest to me. Although you look inconspicuous, you are very methodical in doing things. If not, how could I give you such an important task of promotion and publicity at the critical moment when we are starting to vigorously develop the tourism industry here?"

After hearing Wang Defa's words, Fu Chaosheng looked at him and smiled embarrassedly.

"The bureau is going to hold a meeting to study this in the next few days. We are going to take out a part of the funds as a reserve fund for your early publicity and promotion. As long as it is used for the development of our local tourism, you can use this money at will."

When Fu Chaosheng heard Wang Defa say that he would give money, he was a little confused.

If it were someone else, he would have been very happy, but at this moment, Fu Chaosheng suddenly became hesitant.

He originally thought that Wang Defa asked him to be the so-called promotion ambassador just to use his Douyin account to promote the local area, and there would be no interest involved. He didn't expect that it would be so big now.

Everyone loves money, especially public funds. Sometimes, as long as the person in charge uses his brain a little, he can find a reason to "balance public and private interests", but Fu Chaosheng, who is in charge of the system, simply disdains to engage in these crooked ways with them.

"Director Wang, let's forget about the reserve fund. I'm using my own account anyway, and I don't have any place to spend money for the time being. Besides, I don't like to manage money, especially other people's and public money."

As soon as Fu Chaosheng finished speaking, he saw that Wang Defa and Qi Bin were both stunned at the same time, and even Zhao Xiaohong and the village chief who were sitting next to him seemed a little surprised after hearing it.

Looking at the reactions of several people present, Fu Chaosheng hurriedly explained:

"Director Wang, I sometimes speak more directly, please don't mind. But I don't want to lie to you. What I just said are my most real thoughts in my heart now."

Seeing Fu Chaosheng's serious look, Wang Defa suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Asheng, you are not worried about what the outside world will think of you after taking the money?"

HearingWang Defa said this, Fu Chaosheng thought that this guy was indeed a leader, and he could see through his mind at once.

Yes, Fu Chaosheng did have concerns in this regard. He originally thought that it was nothing to be called a tourism ambassador, and it was nothing more than mentioning it when publishing works in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that Wang Defa was now preparing to allocate public funds to him. If he made some achievements in the future, it would be fine. If things didn't improve for a long time, wouldn't the people around him who didn't know about it point at his spine and scold him for embezzling money?

Fu Chaosheng has always avoided such thankless tasks.

"Director Wang, I don't mean that, but I really don't know how to manage money. How about I apply to you when I need it somewhere in the future?"

Fu Chaosheng asked tentatively, but he was "ruthlessly" ridiculed by Wang Defa.

"That's good. I'm telling you that you won't want the money after you've accepted the offer. The money for promotion was approved by the higher authorities, and the relevant leaders also specifically instructed us to implement it. If you don't like managing money, I can give you an idea!"

"What idea?"

"Isn't it simple? Once the money arrives, can't you just find someone to help you manage it? And after hearing what you said just now, I'm a million times more confident about giving you the money. Besides, this is only the first round of promotion funds, and more will be added in batches later."

Find someone? Fu Chaosheng thought to himself, you're talking so lightly. Although I'm helping Jiangqing Town and Xiagang Village with publicity, I'm also doing errands for your Cultural and Tourism Bureau. Do I have to pay out of my own pocket to hire a financial officer?

But he thought again. Wang Defa's words seemed to remind him that even if he really found someone to help later, it would only be for the promotion of the local area. In this way, it would be understandable to take out some reserve funds to pay that person's salary.
