Chapter 209: Father-in-law’s help

When he heard that Wang Zerong had returned to the province, Xu Sumei called him with a call.

"Zerong, come home for dinner. I have asked someone to prepare the meal. By the way, your father has something to talk to you." Although Xu Sumei was very unhappy about her daughter not living at home, she still recognized this fact after thinking that Lu Hanyan had always lived with Lu Qingfen.

Wang Zerong is her son-in-law. As her only son-in-law, Xu Sumei still cares very much. After Wang Zerong was transferred to Dafang County, Xu Sumei has been paying attention to Wang Zerong's situation. When she heard that Wang Zerong had returned to the provincial capital, she estimated that Wang Zerong should be here to serve the county. Anyway, there are so many relationships in the province, and it is reasonable to help Wang Zerong as soon as possible. On this matter, although Xiang Nan repeatedly told her to take care of Wang Zerong's affairs, when she thought of her daughter, Xu Sumei hoped that Wang Zerong's development would be faster, and she often thought about how to help Wang Zerong.

The matter of Xiang Nan's transfer to the Ministry of Agriculture was basically settled. He was about to be transferred away. When he heard that Wang Zerong was back, he wanted to ask about his work, so he asked Xu Sumei to call Wang Zerong to go home for a Taiwanese meal.

He brought Lu Hanyan back home. Since he had just experienced something, Lu Hanyan's face was full of laziness. If he hadn't been to Xiang Nan's house for dinner, Wang Zerong would have been rectifying the Dharma on her on the spot.

When Lu Qingfen heard that the two were going to Xiang Nan’s house for dinner, he did not express his dissatisfaction. Instead, he urged them to go quickly and said, "Zerong, it is not easy for you to come back once, and it is even more difficult to meet Secretary Xiang at home. Go quickly. It will be beneficial for you to communicate more with Secretary Xiang."

Seeing Lu Hanyan's appearance, Xu Sumei, who was a veteran, was very satisfied with Wang Zerong and said to the two with a smile: "Come in quickly, I'll wait for you for a while."

When he walked into the house and saw Xiang Nan sitting there reading the newspaper, Wang Zerong bowed and said, "Dad, are you back?"

Putting down the newspaper, Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Your mother heard that you were back, so she called me back. Let's sit down." Xiang Nan's workload was still very heavy and there were many social engagements. Today, in order to meet Wang Zerong, she also turned down a reception matter.

Xu Sumei was already pulling Lu Hanyan and talking about the topics they were interested in. Xiang Nan looked at Wang Zerong and said, "It's not bad. I have heard from Secretary Qian about your work in Dafang. I still have some brains on handling textile factory problems. However, you still have to use your brain more when doing things. The incident at Dafang Textile Factory has happened several times. Why did you happen again as soon as you arrive? There are many things that others can't do? You have to think about it seriously before doing it." Xiang Nan has already seen Luo Zhonghua's intentions. However, since it is to hone, having such a person who can calculate at any time is also a good thing for Wang Zerong.

Wang Zerong actually thought of this afterwards, but since he had successfully resolved it, he didn't care much and nodded, "I thought of this afterwards."

Xiang Nan didn't say much about this matter, and changed the topic: "What's wrong with you when you come back this time?"

Wang Zerong said: "Dafang County is a poor county. I saw that the main problem there is also the transportation. The straight distance from Guanhe City to Dafang is only more than 20 kilometers, but after going around the mountain, it takes more than 40 kilometers. Not to mention the road, it is so rotten that it cannot be walked at all."

Xiang Nandao: "Do you want to implement the road construction funds?" In fact, Xiang Nan had already thought of the purpose of Wang Zerong's arrival.

Wang Zerong said: "If you want to solve the backward appearance of Dafang, you must first improve the transportation. I want to see if you can transfer some funds through relationships."

"Tell me about your thoughts on the development of Dafang." Xiang Nan raised his water cup and took a sip of ginseng tea.

Wang Zerong told Xiang Nan what he saw about the situation in Dafang County, and then said, "Dad, this is what I think. First of all, I have done the road. If possible, I can just drill two holes through it. In this way, Dafang and Guanhe will be combined in just twenty kilometers. As long as this matter can be done, Dafang will become a satellite city of Guanhe, and the development in all aspects will definitely accelerate. After doing this, we will vigorously develop the tourism industry. The natural scenery of Dafang County is very unique, with various natural landscapes, especially Yinghong Town has excellent geothermal resources. There is no such underground hot spring in Guanhe City, which can attract a large number of tourists to Dafang."

Xiang Nan did not interrupt and listened seriously.

Wang Zerong became excited when he talked about his own efforts and continued: "Also, Dafang County has rich mineral resources, iron, coal, copper, gold and other minerals, and stones are not richer. As long as transportation is up, investment promotion work can be carried out. After establishing several pillar industries, the county's GDP will definitely be overturned a few times. Dad, this time I saw the poverty of Dafang farmers and traveled all over the county. Many people's situation can be described as a miserable word. If Dafang County is not developed, I feel sorry for my official position."

Xiang Nan nodded and said, "It would be great if you can have this intention. It would be great if you can consider establishing a pillar industry. The development of a county is very important."

He smiled and said, "It's not just this little thing."

Wang Zerong said: "Dafang County has very rich water resources. Given the severe shortage of electricity in Guanhe City, I plan to develop water and electricity at large and small, and strive to build Dafang County into a Guanhe City's power supply base, and at least make Dafang's power self-sufficiency. Also, because Dafang County has many mountains and various mountain goods, tea trees and fruits, if a unified layout is carried out, there will be great development prospects in this regard.

After hearing Wang Zerong's ideas, Xiang Nan knew that the premise was to make the road well. He nodded and said, "Your idea is good. Everything is made by people. Even the poorest areas have to use their brains to achieve some achievements. Zerong, the province now has two plans for road construction. One is to connect several cities with better economy and create a highway, and the other is to build a highway across the east and west. The previous plan is not very good, which is not conducive to the development of underdeveloped areas. The latter plan takes into account both advanced and backward cities and counties. I still agree with the latter one."

After hearing this, Wang Zerong said, "Dad means to bring our county into it?"

Xiang Nandao: "I'm going to be transferred. Most of the time I will rely on your own efforts in the future. This is the only one who can help you."

Wang Zerong was very moved. Although Xiang Nan said he would not help him, he still gave himself a green light to build the road.

"Will our county be added in this plan?" Wang Zerong asked.

After asking this, Wang Zerong regretted it. If he couldn't add it, Xiang Nan wouldn't say that.

Xiang Nan really smiled and didn't say anything.

The nanny quickly arranged the meal, and Xu Sumei called everyone to sit at the table.

Xiang Nan did not drink alcohol on the table and said to Wang Zerong: "You young people want to drink a few sips and pour wine by themselves."

Wang Zerong smiled and said, "I don't drink alcohol normally."

Xu Sumei said suspiciously: "I heard that you are the wine fairy from Kaihe County."

Lu Hanyan smiled and said, "Mom, Zerong is really a drinker, but he has a lot of alcohol. I have never seen him drunk until now."

Xiang Nandao: "In fact, there are a few people in the officialdom who really like drinking. This is also for the sake of social engagements. Many people gritted their teeth and tried their best to say, "You can drink a pound of 8 taels and not reuse it." This is how they drank their bodies!"

Xu Sumei told Xiang Nan: "Zerong is here to find connections to build roads this time. Can you help him?"

Xiang Nan frowned and said, "You should not mix Zerong's affairs in it. The reason why he was asked to go to Dafang County was to let him hone it."

Xiang Nan has always been a person who has a word at home, and Xu Sumei didn't say anything more.

Even though he said this, Xiang Nan still said to Wang Zerong: "The province will start construction soon. The road can only help you open the two mountains. You still have to work hard on the others. You must also raise funds as much as possible to connect the townships. Only in this way can your economy develop rapidly."

Wang Zerong is really excited now. He knows that the roads between Dafang and Guanhe do not have to worry about themselves. What he has to do is raise funds to build the roads in various townships in Dafang County. This should be much simpler. Just lay asphalt on the original roads and widen them a little.

Xiang Nan smiled and said, "This expressway does not actually have to pass Guanhe."

As soon as he said this insane sentence, Wang Zerong was guessing the intention of Xiang Nan's words. Soon, Wang Zerong looked at Xiang Nan in surprise and said, "Dad means that this road has not been finalized yet, and everyone is fighting for it?"

When Xiang Nan saw Wang Zerong, he quickly understood what he meant and gave him an encouraging look.

Wang Zerong now basically understood what Xiang Nan was thinking: "That is to say, Guanhe is also trying to fight for it?"

Xiang Nan burst into laughter.

Wang Zerong understood completely. Xiang Nan was obviously suppressing this matter now, with the purpose of making the Guanhe Municipal Party Committee owe Wang Zerong a favor. I guess Mayor Qian was also looking at him. As long as he did this, he would be a great contribution to Guanhe City.

"Zerong, when you have nothing to do, you should report your work to Mayor Qian more." Xiang Nan pointed Wang Zerong a few more words.

Since he understood the various things, Wang Zerong estimated that Guanhe City's municipal party secretary or mayor should think of himself soon, especially the municipal party secretary Qian Yicai. He knew his relationship with Xiang Nan, and it would be strange if he didn't come to him. If he did a good job, it was very important to Guanhe's development and also the improvement of his political achievements.
