Chapter 50: Hit the Wall

The first contribution to finding Chen Wanli was Zhu Daidong, which was beyond reproach. Even if Hou Yong sent the human trafficker alone to the county bureau, he could not be shaken. After all, no matter who it was, the two traffickers could be arrested, but if they were to find their den, Zhu Daidong would be the one who was Zhu.

There are some envy and some jealousy in this regard, but Zhu Daidong was calm and did not be happy with things or be sad with himself. He did what he did before, but now he did what he did. He did not feel complacent and proud of saving the secretary's son.

Although Zhu Daidong did not take this matter to heart, it does not mean that others are like him. Since that incident, many people have looked at him and spoken to him differently. Originally, Zhu Daidong, the secretary, was like a choreographer. Whenever there was something wrong with the village leader, he always liked to ask him to help.

But now, except for Chen Shuli and Yuan Ping, everyone else, including the three deputy township heads in the village, will only bother Zhu Daidong when he is really in charge of his affairs. And even if he is asking him for business, he will use a tone of discussion, not just direct orders like before.

Leaders at the deputy township chief level dare not act rashly when facing Zhu Daidong, let alone ordinary cadres. Many people saw him with a flattering tone and flattering expression, which made Zhu Daidong really uncomfortable. In his opinion, this is definitely the treatment that leaders should have, and their level has not been upgraded, so why bother?

Zhu Daidong was actually very clear about their thoughts. He would never escape his ears if he didn't accept any conversations at night. Secretary Chen loved his son more than his own life. Now Zhu Daidong found his son back, which was equivalent to saving Secretary Chen. After returning to the township government, Chen Shuli was also very polite to Zhu Daidong and publicly praised Zhu Daidong on important occasions many times. Which of these people would not be able to observe his appearance? As long as Chen Shuli was the secretary for one day in Shumuling Township, Zhu Daidong would always be an imperial envoy!

Even Yang Kaifeng, who had had a verbal conflict with Zhu Daidong, secretly came to Zhu Daidong's office one night with a pair of cigarettes and two bottles of wine and apologized to him.

Zhu Daidong was so amused that he wanted to apologize. What had he done long ago? Besides, he didn't take the matter from that day to heart. He had returned the money for the wine, and the matter was over.

The more Zhu Daidong refused, the more panicked Yang Kaifeng became. He thought Zhu Daidong still refused to forgive him. He took Zhu Daidong's hand and begged: "Secretary Zhu, you must accept these things, otherwise I will be uneasy."

"Comrade Yang Kaifeng, I understand your meaning very well. I have also received the love, but I can't accept these things." Zhu Daidong said firmly.

"But……"

"It's nothing, don't worry, I've forgotten that thing long ago, you don't have to take it to heart." Zhu Daidong comforted.

Seeing that Yang Kaifeng was finally willing to leave with tobacco and alcohol, Zhu Daidong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, only Yang Kaifeng had a little bit of conflict with him, otherwise he would not have thought of peace at night!

Zhu Daidong felt very awkward in the township government during this period. Now he doesn’t have much to do, so he simply asked for leave from Chen Shuli and Yuan Ping and went to Jinsha Village. He was originally going to go there last time, but later he delayed it in order to help Chen Shuli find his son.

The branch secretary of Jinsha Village is surnamed Hu. He has been the branch secretary of Jinsha Village since the founding of the People's Republic of China. He has been 60 years old and has been sitting in Diaoyutai. His grandson studied at Shumuling Middle School, which happened to be a student of Zhu Daidong. Because of this relationship, Zhu Daidong decided to go to Jinsha Village first.

After Zhu Daidong came to Shumuling Township, he did not find anything good at Shumuling, except for two things, one is dried white and the other is dried tofu. If you drink with dried tofu with braised tofu, it is simply a pleasure. Shumuling Township is rich in soybeans, and almost every family grows them. If you want to eat tofu, you can get a few pounds in the warehouse and grind them into pulp. When you come back, you cook and squeeze them, and then press them, and then turn them into tofu. If you press one more night, it will become dried fragrant. Smoked with smoke and soak them in brine for two hours, and it will become the best dish for wine.

Zhu Daidong is now attracted by the tofu in Jinsha Village. Nowadays, the peasant brothers are poor. All year round, except digging food from the fields, they only pick up chicken butts or raise pigs. By the end of the year, they will exchange tuition fees for their children.

Therefore, Zhu Daidong wanted to do something and do something practical for the local people. He was going to persuade Secretary Hu to set up a collective enterprise and a tofu factory, and sell the tofu from Shumuling to the county, city, and even the province.

The Ministry of Agriculture proposed a vegetable basket project to alleviate the tight supply of non-staple food in various places. Zhu Daidong also took this view. He believed that as long as the packaging and shelf life of tofu can be solved, it will definitely be profitable. For this matter, Zhu Daidong even went to the county town and city to inspect the market, and felt that this matter really has great potential. Although it may not be able to solve the problems of the whole town, there is still no problem in solving the living conditions of a village.

Secretary Hu was quite polite to Zhu Daidong. Not to mention that Zhu Daidong is now the secretary of the township government and Secretary Chen’s celebrity, he could not neglect even if he was his grandson’s former head teacher. Secretary Hu was very proud of Zhu Daidong’s grand plan at first, but when he heard his words, he had to invest more than 40,000 yuan in the tofu factory, his head was like a rattle.

"Secretary Zhu, don't say 40,000, even 40,000 can't be taken out in the village." Secretary Hu sighed. He no longer had the enthusiasm he had just now. The investment in the tofu factory was too great. What if he lost all his money? What if he couldn't make a profit? What if the people suffered losses? He would rather maintain the status quo in Jinsha Village than take this risk.

After Zhu Daidong returned from Jinsha Village with a dejected look, he met Hou Yong on the streets of the village. Last time, Hou Yong arrested two human traffickers alone. Later, after a sudden trial, they recruited several cases of children trafficking, which made Hou Yong very good.

Hou Yong pulled Zhu Daidongqiang to his home to drink. Seeing that Zhu Daidong was not in high spirits, he asked him what was going on. Zhu Daidong told him about his experience in going to Jinsha Village. He wanted to get rid of poverty and become rich in Jinsha Village, but unexpectedly, Secretary Hu did not accept this affection.

"You should tell me about this. I will go to Houjiatang Village tomorrow. My father is the village party secretary. I will definitely not disappoint you at that time." Hou Yong said with a smile when he heard this.

When Zhu Daidong heard this, his eyes lit up. His target may not necessarily be Jinsha Village, as long as it is in Shumuling Township, any village can be used.
