Chapter 293: Chapter 292, Being Followed

Xu Wendong knew that Teacher Xiao did not believe him.

However, he did not explain much.

In his view, no matter how eloquently one talks, it’s better to prove oneself through actions.

Of course,

The reason he wanted to help Teacher Xiao was not because he was interested in her.

After all, letting Teacher Xiao teach six grades alone was a formidable task for her, and if she could complete it successfully, it would be fine.

But if she couldn’t, it would affect the education of the children in Qingshan Village.

Having come from the countryside himself, Xu Wendong knew well that education was the only shortcut to changing one’s fate, and hardships should never be endured by the children.

Education should not suffer!

Seeing the shabby desks and benches in the classroom, Xu Wendong said, ”I’ll head to the town first and get some decent desks and chairs for the kids!”

Saying this, he turned his back on Teacher Xiao and waved his hand stylishly.

After that, he went to Zhao Ranran’s house, thinking of borrowing her electric scooter, but instead, Zhao Ranran pulled him inside and they had a wild time, serving as the price for borrowing the scooter.

Xu Wendong was willing to pay such a price deep down, and he left Qingshan Village contentedly riding the electric scooter.

Just as he left, Zheng Jinwang found Zheng Yun and said with a smile, ”Uncle, I just saw Xu Wendong leave the village on a scooter; he seems to be heading to the town.”

Zheng Yun’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly said, ”What are we waiting for? Quickly call Zhang Qiang and have him teach Xu Wendong a lesson.”

------

On the road to the town, Xu Wendong called Li Zhenfeng.

He thought it wouldn’t be difficult for him as the county party secretary to dispatch two teachers to work in Qingshan Village, but the one who answered was Deng Wencheng, the head of the public security bureau.

”Mister Xu, Secretary Li is in a meeting and is not convenient to answer the phone. Is there something you need?” Deng Wencheng asked politely.

Xu Wendong replied, ”There is indeed something.”

Deng Wencheng chuckled and said, ”Are you in Qingshan Village now? Why don’t I come to see you, and we can chat face to face? You can treat me to a meal, too.”

”What do you mean?” Xu Wendong was a bit puzzled. ”Do you really need to travel over a hundred kilometers for one meal?”

”We are currently in the town.” Deng Wencheng had come with Li Zhenfeng to inspect the work, but this inspection was more like a covert visit and didn’t alert too many people.

Some information was still unsuitable for disclosure.

”Alright, meet me at the furniture town, and we’ll catch up there.” Though it wasn’t Li Zhenfeng who answered, Xu Wendong knew it was just as well to inform Deng Wencheng about it.

”Okay.”

After a drive lasting less than twenty minutes, Xu Wendong reached the town.

Just then,

He sensitively felt that someone was watching him from a distance.

If it was just being watched, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

The issue was,

The gaze was hostile, clearly coming to cause trouble.

Xu Wendong paid no mind to such a situation.

Although he didn’t know why they were bothering him, he felt no fear.

Upon arriving at the furniture town, Xu Wendong saw Deng Wencheng, dressed in casual clothes, smoking a cigarette.

”What’s the situation here? How come you’re suddenly inspecting work?” Xu Wendong asked curiously, handing Deng Wencheng a Da Qianmen cigarette.

Looking at the Da Qianmen cigarette in his hand, Deng Wencheng smiled and said, ”With your status smoking this, quite a unique choice, huh!”

Da Qianmen was a very cheap cigarette, if others smoked it, a significant reason would be limited by financial capability.

But Xu Wendong smoking this was more about personal style.

After all, this guy was essentially the underground emperor of Qingyuan.

”Not too bad, my addiction isn’t that strong.” Xu Wendong chuckled.

Deng Wencheng nodded and then said, ”This inspection feels like it has something to do with you.”

Xu Wendong asked, puzzled, ”Why do you say that?”

Deng Wencheng gave a sly smile. ”Before you came to Qingshan Village, it ranked the last economically in the entire county, but after you arrived, the income of Qingshan Village residents has multiplied several times over.”

”And leasing out ten thousand acres of land, that’s all your doing.”

”Of course, that’s not the most important part. The key is, the province has begun paying attention to Azure Dragon Mountain, though I’m not sure where this is headed.”

”But the province’s document is clear, to keep a highway exit toward Chengqian Town, and even the high-speed rail line is preparing something similar.”

”Can you tell me what’s going on?” He was quite curious about this matter, as was Li Zhenfeng. That’s precisely why they came to inspect, just to figure out the reason behind it all.

Xu Wendong smiled. ”Suppose I say a major provincial company wants to develop Azure Dragon Mountain for tourism, would you believe it?”

Deng Wencheng gasped. ”Are you serious?”

Being part of the system, he naturally understood that if what Xu Wendong said was true, it would be a meritorious deed. Not only would the villagers of Qingshan Village benefit.

Even county-wide residents would gain substantial benefits.

”This matter is already a done deal; you all will probably receive the notification within three days at the latest.”

Xu Wendong shifted the topic, ”Let’s go, help me pick some furniture while chatting about Qingshan Village’s affairs.” Saying this, both of them stepped into the furniture town, and he shared the education problem in Qingshan Village with Deng Wencheng.

Upon learning that Qingshan Village had only one teacher handling grades one to six, Deng Wencheng felt great admiration and was equally indignant at the inaction of certain departments.

He immediately stated, ”You can rest assured about Qingshan Village’s education issue, I will inform Secretary Li truthfully. Although it’s a bit late today, I assure someone will go there tomorrow to help Teacher Xiao share the workload.”

The two spent over half an hour in the furniture town, selecting some desks and chairs for teaching before Xu Wendong left an address for them to deliver these to Qingshan Village.

Previously, the other party wouldn’t have delivered due to the rugged roads and high delivery costs. But now it was different, even though Qingshan Village hasn’t yet paved asphalt.

Delivery was still seamless.

After finishing up, he and Deng Wencheng left the furniture town.

”There’s a nice mutton soup restaurant in town, want me to treat you to some mutton soup?” Xu Wendong asked Deng Wencheng.

Deng Wencheng was about to speak when his phone rang. He smiled, ”Secretary Li’s call.”

Xu Wendong casually said, ”Ask him if he has time. If he does, he should join us!”

Cooked lamb meat was ninety-one per jin, even if Li Zhenfeng joined, it would only cost an extra few dozen yuan.

Deng Wencheng stepped aside to take the call and exchanged a few words before coming over to Xu Wendong, ”Secretary Li has time, he said let’s meet at the mutton soup restaurant.”

”Alright.” Xu Wendong got on the electric scooter and patted the seat behind, ”Come on, I’ll take you there.”

Deng Wencheng sat on the back seat, and the two chatted as they headed towards the mutton soup restaurant.

Just as they departed, a black Volkswagen parked by the roadside quietly started, following them from a distance...
