Chapter 656 Documents Issued
"This is the document from the city approving our Jianye Farm to build a brick factory. This is the good news I just mentioned!"
"Just think about it, our commune has been looking forward to this and planning for this for a long time, and now our dream is finally coming true."
"With this brick factory, ordinary people no longer have to worry about not being able to buy bricks or not being able to afford them when building houses."
"The labor force of our farm has found a place to use its skills, and it can also drive the development of surrounding industries. There is more and more hope for the future!"
Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo were like being struck by a sudden bolt of lightning. They were instantly frozen in place, faces full of astonishment.
Their eyes were as big as bells, staring at the documents in each other's hands, and for a moment they were unable to recover from the shock.
They never imagined that this document, carrying the commune's infinite hope and future, would be delivered to Director Song so quickly like a gust of wind.
Wang Jianguo's fingers trembled slightly as he gently stroked the paper of the document. The texture seemed to carry the warmth of a dream come true.
He couldn't help but recall the difficult journey he had gone through in recent days running around for the brick factory:
He shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, asking around for Secretary Dong's whereabouts; when facing each supplier, he had to both lobby and fight for the supply of materials, and at the same time he had to carefully control costs.
When reporting to Secretary Dong, he was filled with anxiety, fearing that his carefully prepared plan would not be recognized... Every scene was like a brand, engraved in his heart.
Zhao Shuzhuo was so excited at this moment that he could hardly control himself. His chest was heaving violently and tears were flickering in his eyes.
Suddenly, he took a step forward and came in front of Wang Jianguo, holding Wang Jianguo's hands tightly with his hands like pliers, with such strength that it seemed as if he wanted to convey all his gratitude and joy through this grip.
His voice was choked with excitement, and he said loudly:
"Jianguo, thank you! We all see how much effort you have put in along the way. If it weren't for you taking the lead and leading me to charge into battle time and time again, how could our brick factory be as successful as it is today?"
Zhao Shuzhuo paused for a moment, his eyes full of sincerity and respect. He looked around, as if he saw the people working hard on every inch of land in Jianye Farm, and his voice became more and more excited:
"I'm not saying this on my own behalf. I'm saying this on behalf of Jianye Farm. No, I'm saying this on behalf of the people of the entire Great Northern Wilderness!"
"You know, our land in the Great Northern Wilderness is fertile, but what we have always lacked is an industry like a brick factory that can drive development."
"Now, with this brick factory, people will have a guarantee to build houses in the future, and they no longer have to worry about not being able to buy bricks."
"It can also provide employment opportunities and fill everyone's pockets. All these good things are inseparable from your hard work!"
Wang Jianguo was a little embarrassed by Zhao Shuzhuo's sudden enthusiasm. His cheeks flushed slightly. He gently patted the back of Zhao Shuzhuo's hand and said modestly:
"Brother Shuzhuo, what you said is too harsh. This is not just my achievement! We are a team."
"From the beginning of the planning to now when I got the documents, you have also made a lot of efforts. If it weren't for you helping me, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today."
"Besides, this is what everyone in our commune hopes for. Everyone hopes to live a good life. We are just following public opinion and doing what we should do."
Despite saying this, Wang Jianguo was still very happy in his heart. He knew that although the journey had been difficult, all his efforts were rewarded in the best possible way at this moment.
And this reward not only belongs to him personally, but also to the entire Jianye Farm and to everyone in this vast land of the Great Northern Wilderness.
Director Song smiled as his eyes slowly moved between Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo, his eyes full of satisfaction and appreciation.
He waved his hand gently, and said in a gentle but unquestionable tone:
"Hey, the two of you should stop trying to be polite to each other. The successful approval of this brick factory is truly a joint achievement of both of you."
As he spoke, Director Song's gaze rested on Zhao Shuzhuo, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"Shuzhuo, don't forget that your grandfather also has a great favor to thank for this."
"Back then, when Secretary Dong was still young and working at the grassroots level, he encountered a hurdle that was almost impossible to overcome."
"It was your grandfather who lent a hand without hesitation and helped him out of his urgent need. Secretary Dong will always remember this kindness."
"So, this time, it's all thanks to you for leading Comrade Jianguo to find Secretary Dong. If we didn't have this connection, how could we have met him so smoothly and explained everything about our commune's brick factory to him?"
Director Song paused for a moment, as if recalling the resolute look of Zhao Shuzhuo and Wang Jianguo before they set out, and continued:
"Moreover, the two of you traveled together this time, supporting and helping each other along the way, and that is obvious to all."
"Shuzhuo, don't just think about pushing the credit to Jianguo. You yourself were the one who provided advice and ran errands along the way. Which of these could not have been done without you?"
"Take the time when you went to see Secretary Dong for example. You found out the route in advance, prepared the materials you were going to report, and arranged everything properly, no matter how big or small. That's how the entire trip went smoothly."
"Also, when dealing with various parties in the city, you relied on your calmness and insight to help Jianguo resolve many problems. These are all real achievements. You must not underestimate yourself."
Director Song stood up, walked up to the two of them, patted them on the shoulders, and said earnestly:
"Our commune's current hope is inseparable from the efforts of both of you. We still have a long way to go."
"We must continue to fight side by side, work together to bring more benefits to the people and make our land more and more prosperous."
Zhao Shuzhuo's face flushed suddenly, as if someone had suddenly revealed a little secret in his heart.
The blush quickly spread to his ears. He lowered his head slightly uncomfortably, his fingers tugging at the corner of his clothes subconsciously, a slightly awkward smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stammered, "
"Director Song, your words really embarrass me. If we talk about the credit this time, Jianguo definitely has the greatest contribution."
"I'm really ashamed to say that my mind was a little distracted during this trip. I was only thinking about how to make friends."
He paused, as if recalling those scenes, the blush on his face faded slightly, replaced by a look of annoyance, and then he continued:
