After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

Once the price was agreed upon, the rest of the process went according to plan.

First, all the family members of Lugang Village worked together to load the taro into the truck. After the loading was completed, the village chief Zhou Youkun personally brought a few strong young men to follow the truck.

On the one hand, the purpose is to get the remaining money to prevent Hu Zhongrong from turning against him.

On the other hand, it was also a protection for Hu Zhongrong. After all, the distance from Bashang to the county town was not short. With someone guarding the car, the bandits and bullies along the way did not dare to act rashly.

Hu Zhongrong had no objection to this. He had no intention of defaulting on his debt and was even more happy to hire these bodyguards.

But before leaving, Hu Zhongrong specifically found Lu An and said, "Brother, I, Hu Zhongrong, have traveled a lot and seen a lot of things in the world. You are the one I admire the most. What do you think? Are you interested in following me? I will help you make a lot of money!"

It has to be said that Hu Zhongrong is a bit cunning as a businessman, but he still has some vision. Even though Lu An exposed his true colors today and caused him to lose more than 3,000 yuan, he is not angry or resentful. On the contrary, he saw Lu An's ability and decisively extended an olive branch to him.

Hu Zhongrong also said: "Of course I know you are a college student, don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly!"

"Brother, you've seen it too. If you weren't here today, I could make 4,000 yuan for one trip. Which job can earn that much now?"

"As for that town official, I'm not bragging to you. Unless he can really become an official with real power, with his monthly income of a few dozen yuan, he won't be able to catch up with me in a hundred years!"

Lu An first said a few polite words, saying that Hu Zhongrong looked like a very capable businessman and would definitely make a fortune.

Then he explained: "I have a job, and it's a very good company. Of course, if I want to go into business in the future, I will definitely look for you, Boss Hu, first."

Got it!

Hu Zhongrong happily took out a pen and paper from his briefcase, and wrote down a number for Lu An, repeatedly telling him that he could call him anytime if he had any ideas.

Lu An was delighted when he took it and looked at it, because in addition to a phone number, there was also a sentence below: Call Auntie Wang at the street corner.

Wow, it turns out that a boss as big as you doesn’t even have a phone number.

Hu Zhongrong was not ashamed but proud of it. He proudly told Lu An that he was an old customer of Aunt Wang and that this was how they kept in touch.

Lu An didn't say anything about it, he just nodded and took the note. After all, everyone has their own ideas.

Of course, Xia Donglai was very happy to see this: Humph! What are you so arrogant about? You are just a little smart. In the end, you are still a useless person who has no job and can only work for others!

But this time Xia Donglai learned his lesson. He knew that Lu An was in the limelight right now, so he would not ask for trouble.

What if I cause public outrage again...

I am a town official, but I have to dig taro myself.

As expected, he is a villager, his vision is as narrow as a sesame seed!

Xia Donglai was alone there complaining about everything. He was still able to mentally prepare himself, but then the expression on his face twisted again because Zhou Youkun came back with the final payment from Hu Zhongrong, and everyone's cheers were almost to the sky.

"Twenty dollars. I didn't expect that each of our households would get so much money!"

"The village chief must have made a mistake. We have taken the money and we will not return it!"

"Let that idiot Onion come or not. This time I'll give him the money and he'll be jealous to death. Haha!"

Village chief Zhou Youkun patted his bulging cloth bag and seemed quite excited.

He proudly told everyone that this was the amount of money this time. According to the rules, everyone should have received more than 18 yuan, but the village committee took into consideration the rich harvest this time and collected less, giving everyone a total of 20 yuan.

"Long live the secretary, long live the village chief! Long live Lugang Village! Thank you to the village!"

Everyone cheered loudly.

Secretary Lu Maocai also emphasized: "Don't just thank the village, you should also thank Lu An. It was his idea to give you the extra 20 yuan. He is the benefactor of our Lugang Village."

It was indeed Lu An who advised him.

Lu An's idea was very simple. These days, money was all in cash, so he could round it up and give it out. In addition, this could also motivate the villagers to participate in collective labor. Unlike this time, many people had to go door to door in the village before they reluctantly went out.

Listening to Lu Maocai’s words, the villagers shouted again: Long live Lu An, thank you Lu An!

Lu An also smiled and said that this was all done by the village for the good of everyone, and that everyone deserved the money, and that he had only made some insignificant suggestions.

Looking at the villagers in front of them with rosy faces, Lu Maocai and Zhou Youkun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"As you said, Lu An, we gave out twenty this time. Next time there is collective labor, everyone will definitely respond positively!"

Taking advantage of this spirit, Zhou Youkun invited Lu An again: "Lu An, are you really not considering staying in the village committee? You are so smart and capable. If you stay, you will definitely be the next village chief. Even if you are promoted to the town or county, you will have a chance. Secretary Lu and the entire village committee can write letters of recommendation for you!"

Lu An thanked the village committee for their kindness: "But I really already have a good job, otherwise I would definitely stay in our village to repay the village for its training of me and help to my family, and build a better countryside!"

Although they felt very sorry, Lu An's nice words still made Lu Maocai and Zhou Youkun feel comfortable.

The money was distributed quickly, and the villagers carried their hoes, pushed carts, sang songs, and happily returned to Lugang Village.

Lu An, who shined this time, was undoubtedly still the center of the center. Even when he returned to the village, a group of children in the village surrounded Lu An and turned into curious babies.

"Brother Lu An, how did you do it? Why is Boss Hu so afraid of you that he even knelt down for us?"

At this time, cousin Su Qinglian and brother Lu Ping stood up and stood in front of the children.

"Brother Lu An was so exhausted from fighting Boss Hu just now, how can he have the time to answer all your questions now?"

"Why don't you let Brother Lu An take a break? Brother Lu An is a college student, isn't it normal for him to have this ability?"

But such talk would never satisfy the children, and they all refused to give in.

Finally, Lu An came up with an idea: "You can ask me to tell you, but I have a condition. Everyone's water tanks are out of water. We have to go and fill them with water!"

Children are full of energy. If you don't find something for them to do, they can really bother you all day long.

There was no running water in the village those days, and each household either dug a well at home or fetched water from a public well at the foot of the mountain.

Then Lu An, Su Qinglian and Lu Ping became the kings of the village's children, commanding the children in the village to fetch water for every household.

Of course, Lu An did not break his promise and finally told them that it was all caused by information asymmetry.

My younger brother Lu Ping immediately raised his hand and answered: "I know, I know. Boss Hu is taking advantage of us because we don't know how much taro sells for outside, so he dares to quote a random price. If we knew, he wouldn't dare to quote a random price."

In fact, it is not that simple, but there is no need to make it too complicated for these children.

Lu An clapped his hands in agreement and said, "That's right, so you all need to study hard and get into college like me. Then you can protect the village from being bullied by profiteers like Boss Hu!"

Lu An's words made the group of children excited, and they all swore to go to college.

Lu An was very satisfied with his encouragement. Although the children's interest would come and go, as long as one of them was admitted to university in the end, he would have done a good deed.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late now and it's going to be dark soon, everyone go back and don't make your parents worry!"

Mother Qian Xiuzhi came out at the right time to disband the children's meeting, and finally said to Su Qinglian: "Your mother just came to the house to look for you and asked you to go back and eat."

After seeing off all the outsiders, the family of four sat around the table to eat.

Lu Ping happily recalled the great achievements of Big Brother Bashang today: "At that moment, I felt that Big Brother was the legendary peerless master savior. Only Big Brother could defeat that bad guy named Hu!"

So chuunib...

Lu An quickly gave him a chicken leg to shut him up: "It's rare to have chicken legs, if you don't want to eat it, I will."

Lu Ping then quickly lowered his head and concentrated on finishing the chicken leg.

Lu An then turned around and said, "My dear, there are no outsiders here now. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Lu An had long noticed that his parents were worried all the way back from the dam. Even when the village committee sent chickens and ducks to express their gratitude, the two elders had stiff expressions.

The first to speak was the mother Qian Xiuzhi: "Lu An, tell me the truth, you still don't have a job?"

really!

Lu An guessed that this was the matter.

Although I was very successful in the taro field, my parents still felt that I had graduated from college but had no job.

Especially since Xia Donglai is so cocky, maybe he is also despised by the whole village, but others may not care, but his parents cannot.

"Is Da Guo still not working? Aren't Boss Hu and the village committee going to ask Da Guo to work today? Da Guo is so powerful, this is not a big deal..."

Lu Ping was biting a chicken leg and talking incoherently. In his opinion, this was not a big deal at all.

But Lu An knew that in the eyes of his parents these days, only a stable job like that in a government agency or public institution, which provided a guaranteed income, could be considered a job.

Lu An put down his bowl and looked at his parents seriously: "Dad, Mom, I have explained this issue many times. I really have a job, but my workplace needs to keep it confidential."

"What kind of unit is that?" Qian Xiuzhi asked.

"Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Lu An replied: "I am here on a mission this time, so it is not convenient for me to disclose my work unit to the public."

This time, his father Lu Yuanchao also put down his job: "Provincial Party Committee? The largest unit in the province?"

Lu An shook his head: "It's the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. You can think of it as a department that specializes in catching corrupt officials. You can think of it as the imperial envoys in the old society. If town mayors or county magistrates break the law, they are arrested by our unit."

"Wow! It's worthy of being called a big pot. The big pot is so powerful!" Lu Ping clapped his hands and cheered happily.

But the parents still frowned...
