When Zhang Xiaoshan walked into the village office, he was taken aback.
The eting room was already filled with people.
Several Uncles from the Wu family, the village group executives, as well as Clan Leaders of the big families such as the Liu family and the Li family—all the influential people of the village were there. Most surprisingly, the town manager Ma Zhiming was also present.
"Hehe, Little Shan, you’ve arrived, eh?"
The villagers greeted Zhang Xiaoshan warmly.
Ma Zhiming took the initiative to co forward and shake hands with Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan was sowhat bewildered and asked.
"Is there so special occasion today that everyone has co to the village office so early and with everyone here so complete?"
"Hehe, isn’t it all for Brother Zhang?" Ma Zhiming said with a laugh.
"For ?" Zhang Xiaoshan was even more bewildered.
What did this have to do with him?
At this mont, Ma Zhiming’s expression turned much more serious.
"Alright, since Dr. Zhang has arrived, I will now announce the latest resolution from our town committee."
"Now, I announce that you will serve as the new village head of White Dragon Village,"
"What?"
Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes blinked rapidly upon hearing the news.
"Make the village head? I... I can’t do this."
Ma Zhiming had his argunt already thought out and imdiately responded to Zhang Xiaoshan, saying,
"Brother Zhang, you have divine skills. How could the role of a village head be too difficult for you? Besides, I’m not asking you to take an official position but to help the villagers solve the imdiate problems and to serve the people by relieving their worries and difficulties."
"This isn’t about power; it’s about responsibility."
"You certainly can’t just watch the villagers suffer and do nothing, right?"
At this point, the mbers of the village committee also started to speak up.
"Little Shan, take on the role, we all support you. Right now in the village, apart from you, there is no one else who can win everyone’s confidence. You’re the best choice."
"We all unanimously elect you."
Ge Xiue also tugged at Zhang Xiaoshan’s sleeve and said,
"Little Shan, you’re the most educated, prestigious, and capable person in the entire village now. Please help our fellow villagers."
Even the elders of the Wu family stood up at this mont, pleading with him,
"Little Shan, in the past, it was us old fools who didn’t understand better, supporting that scoundrel Wu Damming. But in tis of trouble, true feelings are seen. We’ve all thought it through now. While family clan is important, the affairs of the village concern everyone, and only the able should take the lead. This ti, our Wu family supports you."
"Our Li family supports you."
"Our Liu family supports you as well."
Everyone present had stated their position.
The crowd looked at Zhang Xiaoshan eagerly, hoping that he would take on this heavy responsibility.
It was the earnest hope of everyone. If Zhang Xiaoshan refused, he would truly disappoint them.
Zhang Xiaoshan stood there pondering, hesitating.
With his current power and vision, he wouldn’t take a small role as village head seriously, let alone a county director. But the key issue was, this wasn’t just any village, it was White Dragon Village, the place that raised him.
From childhood to adulthood, he had suffered a lot, but there were also many people in the village who had helped him, like Ge Xiue, like Luo ili who had sponsored his tuition fees, and so on.
Hadn’t he always wanted to change the backward customs of White Dragon Village?
Empower the mind before alleviating poverty.
Now, with the village lacking a leader, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
Thinking this way, he finally nodded in front of everyone.
"Alright, I’ll listen to everyone. I’ll take on the role of village head,"
"Good..."
Just as everyone cheered, Zhang Xiaoshan imdiately shifted his tone and said,
"But I have one condition."
"What condition? Just speak, Dr. Zhang. Whatever difficulties there are, our town governnt will try our best to satisfy them," Ma Zhiming said.
