Chapter 284 Exam Results
Power and status are things that few people can refuse.
Lu Yuanqing sometimes found it funny.
That's true, he's just the head of a village, do you think he has some kind of great power?
He's just a lowly village official.
He's not as amazing as he claims.
But now that they've taken on that role, the obligations they're supposed to fulfill can't be so easily dismissed.
Lu Yuanqing considered himself an ordinary person, without great ambition or the determination to selflessly dedicate himself to anyone.
It's not that he lacks awareness.
People nowadays are probably more enlightened than him.
This is a product of our times.
He grew up in a wonderful era, carefree and without worries, so his awareness naturally couldn't compare to theirs.
Therefore, he was well aware of his true self, which is why he was unwilling to accept the position of captain from Zhao Zhongcai.
The head of a small production team has quite a few things to worry about.
He lacked the awareness to dedicate all his time and energy to it.
The pig farm and bamboo ware factory that he painstakingly built were simply so that he could live a good life openly and honestly.
Less than 30% of them genuinely want to help others.
You could say he's selfish, but he just can't muster the courage to dedicate everything to the village like Zhao Zhongcai did.
“So, Uncle Zhao, I think you can still be the brigade leader for several more years! It just so happens that you still have time, so you can take good care of Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao has been helping you with village affairs all along, and he is your best successor!” Lu Yuanqing said earnestly.
Anyway, he's not willing to take over the position of battalion commander.
With only a few years left before he could finally live a good life, he must have been out of his mind to take on such troublesome matters.
Zhao Zhongcai glared at him with displeasure, "You're the one we all thought was good."
The commune leaders also recognized Lu Yuanqing's abilities and had no objections to him taking over.
Several village officials also thought highly of Lu Yuanqing.
Therefore, everyone was already prepared to be happy for him, but Lu Yuanqing himself did not agree.
How could this not anger Zhao Zhongcai?
"Tell me, you think being the village head is a hassle? I think you've become lazy because you've had a good life these past few years!" Zhao Zhongcai said angrily at the end.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
The village used to be poor, and the harvest from the fields each year wasn't enough to feed the whole family.
But now their village is the wealthiest production team in the entire commune.
This has led to every household in the village going from not having enough to eat to being lifted out of poverty over the years.
With money, people can eat their fill and even care about eating well, so they no longer place as much importance on production, which they used to rely on.
As the village's brigade leader, Zhao Zhongcai always prioritized production.
Therefore, he knows better than anyone that in this era where every household can easily take out several hundred yuan, people have long lost their enthusiasm for going to work.
If it weren't for Lu Yuanqing's foresight in stipulating that the profits from the bamboo ware factory be linked to the work points earned by villagers, Zhao Zhongcai would have had to work incredibly hard to boost production!
The villagers dare not slack off at work in order to receive their annual dividends.
There is a big difference between working diligently and just completing tasks.
In the past two years, the village's grain production has not been significantly affected, thanks in part to the addition of two tractors, as well as more fertilizer and advanced agricultural tools.
The other half is Zhao Zhongcai.
Anyone with eyes could see his dedication and hard work for the village.
Zhao Zhongcai's words only made things worse, as Lu Yuanqing's eyes and brows went listless. "Uncle Zhao, please let me go! I don't want to be the brigade leader. I don't want this thankless job at all."
Zhao Zhongcai glared.
Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips and whispered, "It's the truth!"
Zhao Zhongcai was furious. "Oh, you mean I've been doing thankless work all this time?"
Lu Yuanqing hissed and retorted, "That's different! Uncle Zhao, your awareness is so much higher! I can't compare to that."
Zhao Zhongcai was exhausted.
No matter how much you argue, there will always be dozens of rebuttals waiting in the wings.
“There’s no rush. You have time to think it over. We all acknowledge your abilities. If I were to step down, I wouldn’t trust anyone else, but I’m very confident in you!” Zhao Zhongcai said.
Lu Yuanqing chuckled, "Uncle Zhao, I think you can still work for many more years!"
Keep going, keep it up!
Zhao Zhongcai glared at him helplessly and dropped the subject.
Anyway, the two of them had talked about this topic countless times. Every time, Lu Yuanqing would act like he had nothing to lose, while Zhao Zhongcai would get so angry that he just wanted to beat him up.
"What happened this time?" Lu Yuanqing knew when to stop and didn't bring up the topic. He stopped joking around and pointed to the person in the ward who was still unconscious and receiving an IV drip, asking Zhao Zhongcai about his condition.
