[Chapter 101 Chen Qibian is a respectful person who cannot be offended]
The door of the Liu family was open. Yang Yiyun walked in directly and saw three people sitting in the living room, two men and one woman.
A slightly fat middle-aged man with glasses was sitting at the table with a cup of wine in his hand. Below him was Liu Zhenguo. On the right was a young girl who was very pretty. Yang Yiyun looked at her more. She was holding a notebook on her lap and looked like a secretary.
In front of them was a table of messy farm dishes.
Yang Yiyun knew from the situation that Liu Zhenguo was entertaining these two people.
At this moment, Liu Zhenguo had anger on his face. He looked at the middle-aged man with glasses and said, “Director Zhang, my nephew is investing his own money to renovate the art village. He doesn’t want the money from the management agency. Is that not okay?
Besides, this is a good thing for the village. Every household can rebuild a new house, and it can also bring income to everyone. It does not violate the regulations. Everything goes according to the normal procedures. As long as you, the director of the Construction and Renovation Office, agree, we will do the rest of the things in the village ourselves and will not cause trouble to the township.”
The middle-aged man, whom Liu Zhenguo called Director Zhang, put down his teacup, lit a cigarette, leaned back and squinted his eyes and said, “I say, Lao Liu, it is a good thing to renovate the art village, but private contracting is a big deal. It is related to the lives of the people and cannot be sloppy. This is something I will study later.
Or you can ask your eldest nephew to come and talk in person. You can ask him to tell me about his plan, right?”
Uncle Liu served him good wine and food, and the conditions were very clear. The township did not need to invest a penny, and it could be solved with just an approval issue.
Yang Yiyun immediately walked in and said, “Uncle Liu, I’m here.”
Liu Zhenguo turned around and saw Yang Yiyun coming in, feeling somewhat embarrassed. After all, he had promised Yang Yiyun that night that he would definitely get this done, but he didn’t expect that Director Zhang would just not give in.
“Yunzi is here, I was just about to go find you!” As he spoke, he stood up and pulled Yang Yiyun aside.
“Uncle Liu, it’s okay, leave it to me.” Yang Yiyun smiled, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the middle-aged man.
Liu Zhenguo was stunned for a moment and didn’t say anything. He turned around and introduced Yang Yiyun, “Yunzi, this is Director Zhang from the township, and this is Section Chief Huang. Today we are here to inspect your art village renovation project. Please tell the two of you in detail.”
After that, he introduced Director Zhang and Section Chief Huang, “This is my nephew Yang Yiyun~”
“Well, sit down~” Director Zhang didn’t stand up either, and said to Yang Yiyun.
But the young girl Section Chief Huang next to him smiled and nodded.
Although Yang Yiyun didn’t like this kind of person, he still maintained the proper courtesy when doing things. He sat down and told the middle-aged man his plan in detail.
However, what made Yang Yiyun angry was that he didn’t listen at all,
while Section Chief Huang opened his notebook and took notes after hearing Yang Yiyun’s story, nodding secretly from time to time.
Yang Yiyun said, “Director Zhang, do you have any other opinions? If possible, I hope the township will approve it for me. After all, I do this to do something for the villagers and will not trouble the township government.”
Director Zhang heard Yang Yiyun’s words, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea slowly, and said, “Oh, your idea is good, but it concerns the villagers’ lives… Let’s go back and study it, and you wait for the news.”
Yang Yiyun’s face suddenly darkened.
At this time, the young girl Huang, the section chief, said, “Director Zhang, I don’t think there is anything wrong with this plan. Besides, it is privately funded and will not cause trouble to the township. The country also encourages investment in the construction of new rural areas. I think we should approve it today. The successful transformation of the art village is also a great achievement for the township, isn’t it?”
Huang Yixia spoke slowly and with a smile, looking at Director Zhang and said that she had just started working not long after graduation. Today, she followed Director Zhang to conduct research and gain experience. She was just doing a secretary job. As a young person, she agreed with Yang Yiyu’s idea and couldn’t help but say it out.
“I say Huang Yixia, I think you have forgotten your position? I have the final say on whether to approve or not. It concerns the lives of the people. Can such a big thing be sloppy?” Director Zhang said.
At this time, Yang Yiyu looked at him and said, “Since Director Zhang doesn’t approve it, it doesn’t matter. I can go directly to the county, and I will give the county advice. Director Zhang is very talented.”
“What do you mean?” Director Zhang said with his eyes wide open.
“Pa~” Yang Yiyun slapped the table and stood up and said, “It’s meaningless. It’s easier to get things done with more people.”
At this time, his sister Yang Shanshan’s voice sounded outside the yard: “Brother~ This gentleman is looking for you. I knew you were at Uncle Liu’s house.”
Yang Yiyun looked and found that it was Chen Qibian who came and was brought by his sister to find him.
Yang Yiyun was very angry about this shitty Director Zhang. He did not go out to greet Chen Qibian. He nodded to him and motioned him to come in.
Chen Qibian walked up to Yang Yiyun with a small box in his hand and said respectfully, “Sir, this is a set of acupuncture and moxibustion collected by my ancestors. I don’t know if it is good, so I sent it to you.”
“Brother Chen, you have worked hard. Sit down and have some tea!” Yang Yiyun motioned him to take a seat.
Chen Qibian saw that Yang Yiyun’s face was not very good, so he hummed and sat down without asking any more questions.
At this time, Director Zhang Wuliu just stood up to leave, but saw Chen Qibian walking in. He was excited and stopped.
The Chen family in Gu County is a big family, with great influence and strength in Gu County. Zhang Wuliu is also from Gu County. Although he has never dealt with Chen Qibian, he has seen Chen Qibian and knows him. He also wants to get in touch with the Chen family, but he has no chance.
He didn’t expect to run into Chen Qibian today, and he was ready to greet Chen Qibian immediately, but he didn’t expect that the next moment, Chen Qibian didn’t even see him, holding a small box in his hand, and walked directly to Yang Yiyu, and then respectfully called Yang Yiyu “Mr.” like a primary school student seeing a teacher.
Looking at Chen Qibian’s appearance, he was just like a younger brother and follower beside Yang Yiyun.
Is this still the famous Chen Qibian in Guxian County? Is he still the representative of the old Chen family? Even
if Chen Qibian saw a big boss in the county, he would not be so respectful.
Such a person is now so respectful to a young man Yang Yiyun, which made Zhang Wuliu’s heart begin to churn.
Chen Qibian is respectful to people, and he, a small director of a township office, can’t afford to offend him. Who is this Yang Yiyun?
Zhang Wuliu swallowed his saliva and was afraid. Today he was indeed making things difficult for Yang Yiyun.
However, the appearance of Chen Qibian made him change his mind in an instant, and he made up his mind to apologize to Yang Yiyun today to repair the relationship.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wuliu smiled and first greeted Chen Qibian respectfully, “Mr. Chen, I didn’t expect to meet you today.” While speaking, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Qibian.
Chen Qibian didn’t know about the conflict between Zhang Wuliu and Yang Yiyu just now. Although he was not the same person, he was greeted by someone and he was in Yang Yiyu’s territory, so he also stretched out his hand to greet him.
“Who are you?” Chen Qibian asked.
“I am from the old Zhang family in Gu County. My name is Zhang Wuliu. I held a meeting in March and met Mr. Chen once.” Zhang Wuliu hurriedly introduced himself. Chen Qibian
nodded. He knew about the old Zhang family in Gu County. It was also a good family, but it was still far inferior to their Chen family.
“Do you know my master?” Chen Qibian glanced at Yang Yiyu and asked Zhang Wuliu.
Hearing Chen Qibian actually say that Yang Yiyu is ‘my master’, Zhang Wuliu’s heart immediately skipped a beat.
At this time, Yang Yiyu, who was even more deadly, said, “I dare not associate with this Director Zhang.”
Chen Qibian instantly understood that Yang Yiyu was in a bad mood because he offended Zhang Wuliu. To offend Yang Yiyu was to offend him, Chen Qibian.
Seeing Zhang Wuliu’s face suddenly darkened: “Director Zhang? The Zhang family has become successful. You offended my master. Are you trying to slap me, Chen Qibian, in the face?”
Zhang Wuliu’s heart began to tremble when he heard Chen Qibian’s words and his dark face. He was about to cry.
