Chapter 964: 946. Ex-girlfriend’s Ex-boyfriend
Wu Lei, you know, when you look at him with a tolerant attitude, he’s a very trustworthy friend.
Especially for those who are smart yet not weary of silliness.
So, when Zhang Chen received his call, he was genuinely surprised—there was such a big announcent for the pig-killing feast spots, he saw it, and had never thought there would be one for him.
But Wu Lei specifically called him, not only going out of his way to get him two pounds of kudzu powder, but even solemnly inviting him to pull a pig’s leg…
Who would have thought?
His ex-girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend might be a bit silly, but he’s sincerely heartfelt, it’s hard not to be moved.
It’s just that this relationship is really complicated, too difficult to explain to others, so he could only classify it as a good friendship.
Thus when the other party casually ntioned if he could bring along those two municipal governnt purchasing friends from last ti, he didn’t think it was planned, so he readily agreed—
He even kept their phone numbers!
This couldn’t have been planned, right? Not to look down on him, but planning is just superfluous with Wu Lei’s brain.
He also quite openly dialed the number, wanting to get acquainted ahead of ti and discuss a pick-up location for next month’s trip.
But unexpectedly, when he dialed the long-stored number, the caller ID displayed Ning City—huh, they had t the two in the center of Yun City’s pedestrian street, so why would they choose a Ning City number?
But now there isn’t anything like roaming charges, so he didn’t think much about it, just quietly waiting for the call to connect.
anwhile, Secretary Wang, who was swamped and had lost a few pounds, saw a local number and didn’t hesitate to answer: “Hello.”
Then, he heard a voice that was both unfamiliar yet a bit familiar co through, sounding young and casual: “Hello? Brother Wang, right? You still working at the municipal governnt?”
Secretary Wang moved the phone away and looked out the window towards the gate. He thought, I haven’t been transferred to be a local official, have I? Ain’t I still at the Provincial Committee?
“May I ask who is calling…” he cautiously and politely asked.
He just heard the other person laugh: “Haha, have you forgotten? You rode in my car when you went to Yunqiao Village… I heard that your municipal governnt purchasing deal didn’t go through, right? No worries! That family is really hospitable; they’ve specifically invited us for a pig-killing feast at the end of the year!”
The ex-boyfriend was quite eager: “How about it? Have ti? If you go, I can pick you up outside the Yun City municipal building?”
Secretary Wang: …
He rembered the hard-boiled egg he ate when he was starving, the incomparable flavors he tasted at Lao Song’s family in Yunqiao Village, and the subsequent accelerated road construction plans…
And the last ti he was driven by the other party, he had left his phone number.
There was also a tiny embarrassing secret.
Well… it’s about that thing… not a particularly big deal… it’s about the village doctor, her moxibustion… cough, it’s about moxibustion, not that pill, definitely not the pill…
Anyway, the dical skills are quite good.
In the corridor, amidst the heating, the composed Secretary Wang recalled the increasingly intimate relationship with his spouse and his face slowly turned red.
But he quickly ca to his senses, then laughed: “Mr. Zhang, is it? Thank you. But no trouble, we’ll drive ourselves—let
ask the officials, and if there’s nothing special, I’ll see you in Yunqiao Village then.”
The voice was warm and sincere, very trustworthy, making Zhang Chen shake his head in admiration: Nowadays, the way governnt officials casually speak, this tone and attitude are just spot on!
Secretary Wang hung up the phone and did not report the matter imdiately. Instead, he first put down the docunts in his hand, quickly browsed through various ssages about the pig-slaughtering feast, checked the ti and schedule, arranged everything, and then knocked on the leader’s office:
“Leader, the road to Yunqiao Village in Yun City has been repaired, and according to the local feedback, it is very convenient for transportation.”
“Moreover, the Song Family doesn’t know our identities yet. However, the young man who gave us a ride previously called to invite us to their pig-slaughtering feast in the lunar December, which is mid-January in the Gregorian calendar.”
“It is said that they will slaughter the pig on the day of the event, cook a big pot al, and invite many people, including so fans from other places.”
“Furthermore, their family’s career in the farm seems to have grown bigger, and it looks like they will be recruiting on a large scale next year, which should benefit the neighboring villages too.”
“At the sa ti, their family’s host Qiaoqiao, with the preparation of the village secretary, did two collaboration live streams which successfully helped an old man in the village sell over seventy thousand yuan worth of Kudzu powder, and one live stream alone increased the followers by over 300,000. The village collaboration was quite successful.”
“I’ve checked the schedule, there are no urgent matters in mid-January, and if we just attend for the day, we can arrange the ti.”
The leader put down his pen.
He picked up his tea cup, slowly slled the aroma, and finally nodded briefly: “Alright, Yun City is full of mountains and hills, and the limits on agricultural developnt are significant. It’s rare for soone to make it on a large scale, so let’s take this opportunity to have a look.”
“There will be many people, so pay more attention to everyone’s feedback then.”
Secretary Wang nodded subtly and discreetly rubbed his stomach, seriously noting down this matter.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the leader inconspicuously say: “Additionally, this rural traditional Chinese dicine… cough, I an, you could also communicate more about it.”
“Promote traditional culture, enhance our Chinese dical concepts, and by the way, provide more support to the younger generation of orderly Chinese dicine inheritors… By the way, after the moxibustion last ti, my leg pain decreased this autumn, and my sleep has been good. Check if Ai Tiao will start selling outside next year?”
The leader spoke with an indifferent look, casually flipping through the docunts as if he was just making a passing comnt:
“Rember, just ask about Ai Tiao, nothing else is particularly needed.”
Secretary Wang: …
He understood.
The leader is only 45 years old this year, still considered to be in his pri, and this matter of health conditioning is definitely important!
Previously, the leader never brought it up, and when Secretary Wang planned to ask soone to inquire about the dicine, the other party even stopped him, thinking about the ten bottles of dicine he had brought back and still not finished.
Now it seems…
He didn’t say anything else, just nodded casually as if conveying a regular work instruction: “Alright, I understand.”
…
On the other hand, Zhang Chen wasn’t thinking that much.
Being friends with Wu Lei, he’s smart, but not too much.
He just asked the question, got the reply, and then happily called Wu Lei:
“Brother, rest assured! I’ll definitely be there!”
“I’ve also contacted those two purchasing guys. They will drive themselves, rember to pitch more sales, even if we can’t sign a procurent contract, who says we can’t trade privately… You’re a grown man too, earn so more money.”
Then he considerately asked: “By the way, are you still looking for a girlfriend? I can introduce you to soone!”
