Chapter 316 Refusal of Appointment
Zhao Shuzhuo and Na Cuiping nodded solemnly. They carefully put away the documents as if they were collecting a precious promise.
However, after a brief silence, Wang Jianguo gently returned the documents to Secretary Dong. He said to Secretary Dong with an apologetic look:
"Secretary Dong, I cannot accept this appointment. I am used to being idle and have always lived a free and easy life. I may not be able to be qualified for such an important position."
Secretary Dong looked puzzled and asked:
"Didn't you say that the purpose of building the supply and marketing cooperative and developing Jianye Village was to gain fame? At present, there is no higher position than the director of the supply and marketing cooperative."
"I really don't understand why you don't accept it?"
Wang Jianguo lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Secretary Dong seriously:
"Secretary Dong, it's like this. I like freedom. The director needs to be at the supply and marketing cooperative every day and be around it all the time."
This feeling of being constrained is really hard for me to adapt to. I believe that Captain Zhao will be able to find a more suitable person to take on this important task. "
"As for me, I think I can be a buyer, or some less busy position."
"In those positions, I was able to contribute to the development of the supply and marketing cooperative in my own way, without feeling uncomfortable because of the constraints of the position."
"I sincerely hope to be able to participate in the great cause of building the supply and marketing cooperative and developing Jianye Village in a way that is more suitable for me."
"As for the reputation I just mentioned, my thoughts are actually very simple."
"All I hope for is that at the right time, others will know about my contribution to the Great Northern Wilderness."
"I don't aspire to gain glory or fame through a prestigious position. For me, the construction and development of Beidahuang is a passion and persistence that comes from my heart."
"I am willing to work silently and contribute my sweat and hard work to this land."
“I don’t need to use a position to show my worth, because I believe that real contributions will be remembered by history.”
“Being recognized by people, not relying on external titles and status.”
Secretary Dong and three other people sat around the table. The atmosphere was solemn and quiet.
They had just finished listening to Wang Jianguo's long speech. His words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples but then returning to silence in an instant.
Everyone fell into deep thought, as if time had stopped at this moment.
After a long while, Secretary Dong raised his head slightly, looked at Wang Jianguo with deep eyes, and said slowly:
"Well, Comrade Jianguo, since you have your own careful considerations and proper arrangements for this matter, then it's up to you."
"After all, we all hope to find the most suitable solution. As for the candidate for the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, you and Shuzhuo will decide."
“This position is of vital importance and requires you to carefully consider and select a comrade who is capable, responsible and able to work for the welfare of the people.”
"Well, it's getting late, I won't keep you here any longer."
When several people heard what Secretary Dong said, they immediately stood up and said goodbye to Secretary Dong one by one with respect on their faces.
The words of farewell were full of respect and gratitude for Secretary Dong. Afterwards, they slowly left Secretary Dong's home.
After going out, Wang Jianguo and the other two saw Na Cuiping waiting on the side.
They said goodbye to Cuiping with a smile. That warm smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel warm in their hearts.
The three of them walked together, slowly returning to the guesthouse in the night.
Along the way, their moods were different, but they were all full of expectations for the future.
Zhao Shuzhuo couldn't hide his happiness at all, and the joy was all over his face.
There was a gleam of excitement in his eyes and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if a huge stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
He knew very well that this decision was of great significance to them.
And he could finally put down his anxious heart and devote himself to the next work with greater enthusiasm and confidence.
Wang Jianguo looked at Zhao Shuzhuo's joyful expression, and his mood couldn't help but become cheerful as well.
They returned to the guesthouse together. Along the way, Zhao Shuzhuo's excitement seemed to be contagious, making the air around them full of vitality.
However, Wang Jianguo still had a little worry in his heart. It was an unresolved problem that always lingered in his mind.
After returning to the guesthouse, Wang Jianguo sat in the room, deep in thought.
His brows knitted slightly, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful gleam. As time passed, he repeatedly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Finally, after repeated consideration, Wang Jianguo decided to tell Zhao Shuzhuo what was in his mind.
He walked to the door of Zhao Shuzhuo's room and knocked gently.
Zhao Shuzhuo opened the door and saw Wang Jianguo's serious expression. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Wang Jianguo slowly said:
"Brother Zhao, I...I have to go to Secretary Dong's house tomorrow."
Zhao Shuzhuo was surprised and asked doubtfully:
"The formalities have been completed, why do we still need to go?"
Wang Jianguo's expression became more serious, and he said seriously:
"I thought about it and decided that I still had to tell Secretary Dong about Zhao Xiande's situation."
Zhao Shuzhuo was also stunned when he heard this. Various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and then he said:
"Jianguo, we have completed the formalities so smoothly, why don't we just forget about it."
Wang Jianguo shook his head firmly and said to Zhao Shuzhuo:
"Brother Zhao, let's put things in perspective. It's not because of him that we were able to complete the formalities so smoothly."
"If I don't tell Secretary Dong, he will come and make trouble again after our supply and marketing cooperative is opened, which will affect our development."
"We can't ignore potential problems just because things are going well for a while. The development of the supply and marketing cooperatives affects the interests of many people."
"We must plan ahead and resolve any possible troubles ahead of time."
Wang Jianguo's words were powerful. After hearing them, Zhao Shuzhuo also fell into deep thought.
Wang Jianguo's words touched Zhao Shuzhuo's heart. What Zhao Shuzhuo cared most about was the affairs of the village.
After hearing what Wang Jianguo said, Zhao Shuzhuo didn't say anything else.
