The mayor led us to a fortune

Chapter 11 We just want to do our duty as a mayor
When the villagers of Shuangqiao Village heard Qiao Xin say that their village is suitable for the development of large-scale planting of fruit cane, they all expressed that if someone came to buy it, they would all be willing to plant it.

But when it came to asking them to volunteer to dig the sewage ditches and septic tanks in the village, they all fell silent.

"Folks, your mayor Xiao wants to save the project money to build a large reading room in your village. At that time, each household will take turns to clean and be on duty, so that everyone can read books and magazines in it. Children can have a good reading environment from an early age, allowing them to win at the starting line." Qiao Xin said.

"What's the use of just having a reading room? Where do we have so much money to buy books?" Someone said loudly.

Qiao Xin smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this problem. Your mayor Xiao is from a big city. He has a way to collect books for you. You just need to go to work and save the project money for Mayor Xiao to help. You can just build this reading room.”

At this time, an aunt said sharply: "You always come to persuade us to work for nothing, and you make so many excuses. The real purpose is to embezzle project funds! Don't think that we are country bumpkins and don't know about your officialdom. corruption and darkness."

Xiao Rui's face turned pale, and he wanted to stand up, but Qiao Xin reached out and tugged at his sleeve, shaking his head at him, signaling him to be calm.

Qiao Xin looked at her aunt and said, "Auntie, I admire you for daring to speak your mind, which is much better than those who say one thing and do another! But I want to tell you, you misunderstood me and Mayor Xiao, if we want to embezzle project funds, we don’t need to come here to mobilize everyone to work. We can directly contract the project to the contractor and let them give us kickbacks. However, we are determined not to do this We just want to do a good job as a mayor and find ways to lead the villagers to make a fortune."

Qiao Xin's words once again silenced the villagers. Although they do not belong to the village under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng Town, their village is adjacent to Xinhua Village. Qiao Xin is really a clean and good mayor.

Qiao Xin continued: "Every year, enthusiastic people from big cities donate books to schools and children in the mountains. I thought: In school, children have to concentrate on listening to classes, so how can they have time to read extracurricular books? If there are reading books in the village After school or on holidays and weekends, children can go there to read their homework..."

At this time, the villagers raised their hands one after another: "I am willing to go! I am willing to go..."

In the end, all the men, women and children in Shuangqiao Village volunteered to dig sewage ditches and septic tanks.

……

After more than 100 days of hard work, the renovation project of Xinhua Village and Shuangqiao Village is coming to an end, and the villagers of Bieie Village are envious of the row upon row of neat, brand-new and beautiful villas.

On this day, several village chiefs from remote mountain villages came to the town government to look for Qiao Xin, but were stopped by the office staff.

"You have something to reflect here."

One of the village chiefs said angrily, "What's the use of telling you? You can't make a decision. We need to ask the mayor. When will it be our village's turn to build a villa?"

Director of the office: "The superiors have not yet issued a document, and the town mayor does not know when the second batch of village landscape renovation projects will be launched."

"We don't care about these, we just want to find the mayor to build us a villa!"

"Yes, why should Xinhua Village be built but our village not?"

"We must ask the mayor for clarification."

Five or six village chiefs stood at the door of the office making a fuss.
