Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Maybe they didn't get along, or maybe Yan Cheng really had other things to deal with.

After dinner, Yan Cheng did not stay any longer. He just invited Zhao Wenhao to visit his home when he was free, and then left with the town cadres.

"Why are you telling Secretary Yan all that? It's a rare opportunity for him to come, and he's usually very caring towards us. You should just have a good meal with him. Is it necessary to bring up all that nonsense?"

After seeing off Yan Cheng and others, Zhao Aiguo was furious and glared at Zhao Wenhao.

At this time, Gu Qiang was still there, and Zhao Wenhao was too lazy to explain. He just asked everyone to go back.

But Zhao Aiguo kept nagging, which made Zhao Wenhao a little unhappy.

However, there were outsiders present after all, and family disgrace should not be made public, so he was too lazy to expose Zhao Aiguo's thoughts.

Because Zhao Wenhao knew very well that Zhao Aiguo was imprisoned twice during the previous gambling arrests because Yan Cheng helped to put him in jail.

Even now that Zhao Aiguo is driving a van around town to do some work, Yan Cheng has also given him a heads-up, so no one dares to bully him.

But one thing is for sure, Zhao Wenhao certainly remembers these favors.

But since it concerns the future development of his hometown, Zhao Wenhao still feels it necessary to say a few more words.

At least give them a reminder.

These officials, driven by political achievements, launch various projects without considering other things. Moreover, they serve in office for a few years and then leave, leaving behind a devastated environment that is ultimately borne by the people of their hometowns.

"Okay, don't worry about this matter. I have my own ideas." Zhao Wenhao interrupted Zhao Aiguo's continued nagging and walked into the main room.

Gu Qiang and Zhao Wenjing looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and could only comfort Zhao Aiguo.

But the more this happened, the more excited Zhao Aiguo became. Add to that the wine he had drunk at noon, and things got out of control.

"What's the matter? You've grown so powerful now that you don't care what your father says, right? Let me tell you, no matter how you act like a big shot outside, I'm still your father in this family."

Zhao Aiguo rushed into the main room and pointed at Zhao Wenhao and gave him a scolding.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wenhao still remained silent.

"That's enough, big brother." Zhao Aimin finally couldn't bear it anymore and quickly grabbed Zhao Aiguo's sleeve. "Wenhao didn't mean that. He was just thinking about our town. You work in town every day, you should have seen it too. Those trucks are hauling rocks and the air is filled with smoke."

"It's just a little dust, what's the big deal?" Zhao Aiguo continued to act as he pleased, even pushing Zhao Aimin away. He then shouted, "Look at what he's like now. Secretary Yan has been having enough headaches lately, why are you interrupting with this?"

Zhao Wenhao knew that his father was just taking advantage of the situation and speaking like that on purpose.

To put it bluntly, he felt that he was a bit arrogant now. He could drive his own car and make his own money, so he didn't need to look at Zhao Wenhao's face.

In addition, Gu Qiang was present, and he knew that Zhao Wenhao would not embarrass him in front of outsiders, so he deliberately gave him a warning. This way, he could vent his previous dissatisfaction with him.

Basically, Yan Cheng wouldn't mind what Zhao Wenhao said. Besides, he knew the relationship between Zhao Wenhao and Yan Bin, so he wouldn't think too much about it.

However, this allowed Zhao Aiguo to find a channel to vent his emotions.

In fact, today Zhao Wenhao really couldn't argue with Zhao Aiguo. It was Gu Qiang's first visit, and he went to quarrel with Zhao Aiguo, what kind of words would that be?

"Brother Qiang, come on, I'll take you around the village." Zhao Wenhao suppressed his emotions and forced a smile.

Gu Qiang nodded quickly. "Sure, I've always lived in the city and have never been to the countryside. You know what, your beautiful scenery is really nice."

"Come on, I'll take you fishing." Zhao Wenhao laughed and said to Zhao Aimin, "Second Uncle, you have a fishing rod at home, right? I'll take Brother Qiang out for some fun."

"Yes, yes, yes. Come on, I'll take you to get it."

Upon hearing Yayi's intention, Zhao Aimin quickly pulled the two of them towards his home.

The three of them quickly went to a wild pond in the village and casually scattered some chicken bones and rice soaked in broth left over from lunch to make a nest.

You know what, in just a short while, I caught several.

Just when Gu Qiang was excitedly preparing to make further efforts, a figure walked over from a distance.

"Wenhao, the cat is fishing here."

Zhao Wenhao quickly turned around and saw that it was the village party secretary Zhao Yuanchao.

"Secretary Zhao, what brings you here?" Zhao Wenhao quickly tossed his fishing rod to Zhao Aimin and handed him a cigarette from his pocket. "This is my sister's boyfriend, Gu Qiang. He just arrived today and came to meet us."

Zhao Wenhao introduced the two of them.

After some polite exchanges, Zhao Yuanchao pulled Zhao Wenhao aside.

"Wenhao, the Xuanzhou Food Processing Factory informed me the day before yesterday that they will not accept any more fruit. Their canned products are not selling well right now, so they don't need that much."

"Ah? There is such a thing? I really didn't know about it." Zhao Wenhao looked surprised.

Logically speaking, Xiang Zhifeng would definitely inform me about such a thing.

But during this period, I did not receive any call from Xiang Zhifeng.

Of course, it's also possible that I was too busy during this period, traveling on business and negotiating with major shopping malls about entering the market. Therefore, Xiang Zhifeng couldn't find me at all, so he explained it directly to Zhao Yuanchao.

However, considering the current market situation, canned products are indeed not easy to sell, and the demand for fruit will naturally decrease accordingly.

"Let's leave it at that. Just keep it to yourself. Don't make things difficult for them." Zhao Yuanchao patted Zhao Wenhao's shoulder and sighed. "They have helped us quite a bit."

In the past three years, the Zhaojiayu Village Committee has provided 10 tons of various fruits to the Xuanzhou Food Factory every month.

Basically on average, Zhaojiayu can make a net profit of about 1500 yuan every month.

Over three years, it’s almost 50,000 yuan.

With these more than 50,000 yuan, the village has accomplished a lot of things.

Build roads and bridges, buy things for the elderly and lonely people in the village during festivals, etc.

Now that this income and expenditure has suddenly disappeared, Zhao Yuanchao certainly feels a little regretful.

Originally, Zhao Yuanchao wanted to build a small village square in front of the village committee gate to occasionally show movies.

Unfortunately, this is no longer possible.

The most important thing is that those villagers who grow fruits suddenly have nowhere to go, which will have a certain impact on their lives.

Therefore, although Zhao Yuanchao said that he didn't care, he still hoped in his heart that Zhao Wenhao could think of a way to help solve the problem.

"Secretary Zhao, I'm going back to the province in the next two days. When I get back, I'll go and ask about the situation. If the village has any other difficulties, please tell me. I'll do what I can."

Zhao Yuanchao came specifically for him, so Zhao Wenhao naturally knew that he must have something to ask for help.

However, he would definitely help when it was necessary, especially when such a dedicated and public-spirited old Party branch secretary came to him personally.
