Chapter 264

The old man picked up the Cigarette on the table, looked at it, then glanced again at Wu An, who was walking away in big strides.

His eyes flashed, he mulled it over in his mind, savoring it: "Interesting little brother."

Wu An gave Yu Kai Lang a phone call.

Yu Kai Lang said to let him rest assured, Lao Fu Tou couldn't sit on the cold bench in the Police Station, and had already given his master's boss chair to Lao Fu Tou.

Liu Long, after returning, only then briefed Yu Kai Lang.

This was a chance for Yu Kai Lang to make progress; although Liu Long complained that they were bold enough to dare do this, he still helped to plan, ensuring no problems.

Wu An expressed thanks, saying, "I also forgot your master; so, after the matter, let Lao Fu deliver a silk banner and a thank‑you letter or something to you and your master."

Why he wants to disgust Chen Gui by messing with the Chen family is because getting a thank‑you letter and a silk banner for Chen Gui is indeed a very effective method.

When Yu Kai Lang heard it, he almost laughed out loud; "A An, you're so talented, how could you think of these things?"

Wu An smiled and said, "Just take it as a compliment," adding, "It's nothing, I learned it from the Chen family."

Just copying homework.

Who wouldn't know that?

Useful?

Hand it over, GIF.

"I'm idle, I'm idle, I'll go order a silk banner now, and then have Lao Fu Tou deliver it directly." After Wu An said that, he changed tone, saying, "Tomorrow when you report this to the leaders, say that the reason the Chen family didn't help the dying is because Chen Gui of Xixi Village."

"Chen Gui and the Xixi Village Village Committee Cadre Chen Gui appear to have improper dealings."

Yu Kai Lang suddenly realized that Wu An was being duplicitous, and said, "A An, I have to warn you, saying that is a bit of a forced justification."

Wu An casually said, "It's fine."

"If there's a situation, then it must be investigated."

"What I want is exactly this investigative action."

The higher‑up leaders learned that those sending the thank‑you letters and those writing them were colluding, and were also linked to the 'failure to rescue' misconduct.

Whether there's a problem or not, you have to avoid suspicion.

When the time comes, after the thank‑you letter is received and the silk banner hanging on the Village Committee wall is taken down, can Chen Gui explain it clearly?

Are you innocent?

Then why was the silk banner removed?

This is like mud getting into the crotch; whether it's poop or not, it's still poop.

Yu Kai Lang said directly, "I don't quite understand, but what you mentioned, I'll definitely see to it."

Wu An offered his thanks.

"I should be the one thanking you."

"Alright, let's stop the formalities; after we're done with this busy spell, I'll invite you and your master to a meal." Wu An finished speaking and happened to arrive at the print shop entrance.

Enter.

Inquire about ordering a silk banner.

All kinds of templates are complete; tweak the wording a bit, and it can be ready by early tomorrow.

Wu An paid, added contact information, asked the owner to finish it early, and said he'd pick it up when he's free.

Walk out of the shop.

Wu An let out a long sigh; the matter was progressing smoothly.

Next.

But then he had nothing else to do.

After contacting Lao Mai, he went straight to Qin Zong's restaurant.

Qin Zong had already reserved a private room; when he arrived, the Lobby Manager saw him, greeted him warmly, served tea and water—he's now a regular at the restaurant.

The monthly expense is not small.

Not long after.

Lao Mai and Mai Hangyu arrived; besides them, there was also Chen Zhuren and other Village Committee cadres from Zhenzhongcun; everyone who should have come did.

Wu An wants to run a guesthouse in Zhenzhongcun, so he definitely has to make an offering to the dock.

After entering the private room, Wu An greeted everyone one by one.

Everyone sat down, and it was very refined; Lao Mai arranged it, and Wu An, just watching, felt there was a lot of knowledge here.

There's some learning here.

Soon, a waiter came in to serve the dishes.

As the host, Wu An stood up and said a few words, mentioning that he was young, lacked social experience, wasn't good at speaking, and had nothing more to say, wishing everyone a good meal and drink.

Everyone laughed heartily.

Chen Zhuren praised, "Just hearing those words shows a certain level."

A youngster who can get Lao Mai's approval is truly remarkable.

"Don't worry, with Lao Mai watching, he lends us a hundred doses of courage; we wouldn't dare trouble you."

"Everyone can just call me A An; come, come, let's clink glasses together."

The first sip of wine was taken.

The atmosphere gradually became lively, and Lao Mai also helped with the conversation.

Having eaten and drunk to fullness.

While drinking tea, Wu An finally brought up the road‑repair matter, saying that Foreman Li had no issues; the little road in the village doesn't need repairing, which is just fine.

The quote isn't high.

The other Village Committee members stayed silent; Chen Zhuren took the cue, nodded and said, "Your efficiency in handling matters is beyond words."

That village definitely can't be lagging behind either, eh.

As for how much the village will have to bear later, we still need to study it; we'll give you an answer tomorrow.

Thank you, everyone. Wu An raised his tea cup, leaned close to Chen Zhuren, and said: "Um, I still have a request, hoping the Village can resolve it."

Go ahead and say. Chen Zhuren's tea cup had just been lifted; his motion paused, and he said in a very mature manner.

It's like this: when the building materials arrive, they'll definitely need to be stacked first; I hope the Village can help keep an eye on them, because I really don't have the energy or manpower.

Just this? Chen Zhuren was somewhat surprised, thinking Wu An would ask for something difficult; he drank his tea, put down the cup, and said: "No problem."

Go ahead and place the building materials; if even a single steel bar is missing in the Village, come find me.

Then thank you, Chen Zhuren.

Don't call me Chen Zhuren; I checked your ID—I'm two cycles older than you.

Uncle Wenming.

Wu An shouted, Chen Zhuren is called Chen Wenming; calling him Chen Uncle would also work, but there are too many people with surname Chen in the Village, so he simply called by name to avoid later shouting "Chen Uncle" and having several people respond awkwardly.

After finishing the tea, Wu An saw the person out the door.

Finally.

Lao Mai said a couple of sentences, telling him to ride slowly on the road and such.

Wu An nodded and smiled, feeling extremely grateful to Lao Mai.

Lao Mai waved his hand: "No need to keep thanking back and forth; no need to say all that nonsense."

After retiring, I came back to the Village, also because I have feelings for the Village.

You running a guesthouse in the Village, the Village can also benefit.

Wu An sincerely said: "Thank you for your trouble."

Lao Mai nodded and smiled, Mai Hangyu rode over on his electric scooter, and the two of them rode off together.

Wu An blew out a breath, exhaling a strong smell of alcohol.

These days, it's really busy.

Being busy is good.

Wu An smiled; after this day's hustle, he didn't feel tired, but rather the busier he got, the more energetic he became.

Especially interacting with people is quite interesting.

In his previous life, he really shouldn't have lived so muddle‑headed.

He rode his bike, mentally ran through today's events, and felt that the day wasn't wasted.

Wu An rode his bike super fast; before he knew it, he found he had ridden to the Rocky Beach area.

Damn!

How did I ride back?

He let out a burp of alcohol, his back felt a bit chilly, he lifted his head and saw fishing‑light glimmer, and upon closer look, it was Lin Hu.

He was in a good mood today, and he waved and shouted a greeting: "Lin Hu, fishing?"

Don't panic, don't panic.

I'm not here to collect a debt from you.

As for that money, I won't come after you for it; I'm waiting for you to give it voluntarily.

Having said that.

He started the vehicle and headed toward Lao Wu.

Lin Hu looked back, feeling his heart pound wildly.

Wu An said to let him not panic.

Instead, he became even more panicked.

When things go awry, there must be something fishy.

This kid Wu An is definitely up to no good.

Damn, this bastard must be trying to scare me on purpose.

I'm not in the mood to fish anymore.

Or rather, pack up and head home early.

Sigh.
