Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

In his previous life, Wu Suiduo lived a muddled life and never had the chance to meet any leaders.

In his mind, leaders always put on airs.

But what's going on now?

Old Lady Li Cuihua stood awkwardly under the eaves, her hands fidgeting with her apron, unsure of where to put them.

Several town leaders were standing nearby, all with smiles on their faces.

Hearing footsteps, the middle-aged man turned around.

Upon seeing Wu Sui, he patted the dirt off his clothes and strode over to greet him.

"This must be Comrade Wu Sui?"

The man had a loud voice and a warm smile on his face, showing no airs whatsoever.

Chen Changgui quickly stepped forward and introduced them to each other.

"Secretary Liang, this is Wu Sui. He wrote that proposal."

Secretary Liang?

Wu Sui understood what was going on; the county's top official had come in person.

"Secretary Liang, this is Wu Sui."

Secretary Liang looked Wu Sui up and down, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration.

"Not bad, the young man is very energetic."

He pointed to the two children still playing nearby.

"You've raised your child well; he's clever and quick-witted, and not shy at all."

"Country kids are tough, please don't take offense," Wu Sui added, following up on the conversation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries to build rapport, Secretary Liang's smile faded and his expression turned serious.

He took a few pages of paper from the town leader next to him; it was the "Opening of the Sea Festival" plan that Wu Sui had written that morning.

"Comrade Wu Sui, Comrade Chang Gui submitted this plan to the town, and the town immediately reported it to the county."

Secretary Liang shook the paper in his hand.

"I've seen it; it's novel, bold, and full of ideas."

"Mazu procession, hundreds of boats sounding their horns, a seafood feast along the long street..."

He read the list aloud, his face full of admiration.

"To package the opening day of the fishing season into a grand festival that attracts tourists from other places is unprecedented in Dongyuan County, and even in the entire city."

The town leaders and Chen Changgui next to him nodded in agreement.

"Secretary Liang, you flatter me."

Wu Sui waved his hand and pointed to Chen Changgui, who was nervously wringing his hands next to him.

"I did come up with the idea, but I'm just a tool for writing. Anyone can come up with ideas; it's just a matter of saying a few words."

Secretary Liang raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"I'm just a fisherman who occasionally muses on random things; it's mostly just something I say offhand."

Wu Sui raised his voice, his tone sincere.

"The one who truly took this matter to heart and fought to the bitter end was our village chief."

Chen Changgui was stunned. He looked up at Wu Sui, his face full of astonishment.

Wu Sui didn't stop, continuing to embellish the story.

"You wouldn't believe it, but last night I casually mentioned it, and our village chief was squatting outside my house at three in the morning."

Wu Sui sighed and pointed to Chen Changgui's dark circles.

He held my hand and said that the village was poor and everyone was having a hard time. He said that it was not easy to find a way for the whole village to make money, and they had to do it even if they had to sell their pots and pans.

"I was forced to write this by Uncle Changgui."

"If Uncle Changgui hadn't forced me, this plan would still be swirling in my head."

These words created a somewhat awkward atmosphere in the courtyard.

The town leaders all turned to look at Chen Changgui with more admiration in their eyes.

Chen Changgui's eyes instantly reddened, and his nose tingled with emotion.

He's nowhere near as great as Wu Sui makes him out to be; all he thinks about is his own political achievements.

But Wu Sui, in front of the county leaders, put this high hat of "caring for the people" on his head.

He straightened his back instinctively, his fatigue vanished, and he felt full of energy.

After hearing this, Secretary Liang burst into laughter.

They're all seasoned foxes; who wouldn't be able to see through the intricacies of the situation?

This young man is carrying the village chief's sedan chair.

However, he didn't mind.

Instead, his eyes shone even brighter as he looked at Wu Sui.

He has ideas, courage, and is not greedy for credit; he also understands human relationships.

Such a tactful yet unworldly young person is so rare.

Which leader wants a team full of stubborn, headstrong young people?

"Comrade Changgui, you've worked hard." For the first time ever, Secretary Liang patted Chen Changgui on the shoulder.

Chen Changgui's voice trembled with excitement.

"It's not hard work. As long as it helps the village become rich, it's what I should do."

The atmosphere became completely lively.

Secretary Liang pulled up a stool and sat down, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and handed one to Wu Sui.

Wu Sui took it with both hands and lit it for Secretary Liang.

Secretary Liang took a drag of his cigarette, his smile vanished, and his expression became unusually serious.

"Ah Sui, since we've come this far, I won't beat around the bush."

The way he addressed Secretary Liang had changed; he tapped his finger, which was holding a cigarette, in mid-air.

"If the county government takes the lead now, providing the necessary personnel and policies, it will fully support the holding of this fishing festival."

"Do you think we can make a big splash and really make Dongyuan County famous?"

Upon hearing this, the town leaders held their breath.

Chen Changgui clenched his fists nervously, staring at Wu Sui with anticipation.

As long as Wu Sui agrees, the matter is settled, and Chen Changgui's political achievements will be secure.

Wu Sui, with a cigarette between his fingers, didn't rush to answer.

He took a drag, exhaled a grayish-white smoke, and glanced at everyone present.

To everyone's surprise, Wu Sui calmly shook his head.

"cannot."

The sound wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's hearts.

Chen Changgui was so anxious he almost jumped up.

"Ah Sui, what nonsense are you spouting? The county is giving you its full support, how come we can't succeed?"

The town leaders' faces also darkened.

This young man, I just praised him a couple of times, why is he so ungrateful?

Secretary Liang wasn't angry, but his brows furrowed slightly.

Explain your reasons.

Wu Suimeng took a deep drag on his cigarette and bluntly poured cold water on the idea.

"Sir, the timing is simply not right to hold a county-wide fishing festival now."

"If we really insist on doing it, it will most likely be all bark and no bite, and a complete waste of money."

"First, where are the advertising channels?" Wu Sui held up one finger.

"We don't have any famous historical sites here, so why would outsiders come?"

"Get on TV and play GG? In the newspaper? How much money would that cost? Can the county afford such an exorbitant advertising fee?"

Secretary Liang remained silent.

He knew Dongyuan County's financial situation better than anyone else. It wasn't that it was poor, but compared to popular tourist cities like Xiamen, it was far behind.

Wu Sui raised his second finger and struck the vital point directly.

"Secondly, and most fatally, what do we have besides the sea?"

He spread his hands, looking helpless.

That's all.

"Tourists come and stay for a day, see the excitement, and then leave immediately."

"To put it bluntly, we don't have the supporting tourism resources to keep people here."

"There are no high-end hotels, and no distinctive commercial streets."

"How can we stimulate consumption if tourists don't stay?"

"Can Dongyuan County's economy be boosted by selling a few fish and a few bowls of seafood noodles?"
