Chapter 365
If you didn't look closely, who would have thought this was their mayor!
Sitting there, he was no different from a rural person; the only difference was that he was wearing a white shirt.
Now it was his turn to be bewildered.
He didn't even know how to greet him.
It was his daughter to the side who said excitedly: "Hello, Mayor!"
The mayor also smiled and nodded in response: "The bride-to-be? I wish you a happy marriage!"
Upon hearing this, the girl couldn't hide the smile on her face and nodded repeatedly: "Mm-hmm, thank you!"
Even the mother, who had a dark face before, couldn't help but smile.
Originally, their family was very opposed to this marriage; now, not only was Fang Yang here, giving them plenty of face.
There was even the mayor's blessing; if such a wedding still didn't happen, it would really be inexcusable.
The next second, a loud shout came from the kitchen: "Food's coming!"
They saw Da Niu walk up happily carrying two plates of food.
As a result, seeing his fiancée and her parents in front of him, he froze completely.
Fang Yang had been sitting there watching the excitement for a long time and had already guessed what had happened, so he quickly tapped the table: "What are you being silly for? Put the food on the table and go call people!"
"Ah! Oh, oh!" After putting down the food, Da Niu quickly wiped the water off his hands and awkwardly called out: "Uncle, Auntie, hello!"
"Cough, cough~~ still calling us Uncle?"
Da Niu reacted immediately, eyes wide, and called out uncertainly: "Dad, Mom?"
"Mm!"
"Hey~~"
【Popularity】+1+1+1+1...
——【Really annoying. I thought Fang Yang was also a single dog, so at least I could have some psychological comfort and not have to eat dog food. But instead, today I was fed a mouthful of dog food. Don't you know that abusing dogs is against the law!】
——【So envious. In the past, seeing people invite a celebrity to an event was already incredibly lively, and their face would be floating. But in his family's case, they directly invited Fang Yang and the mayor together. This lineup is equivalent to inviting how many celebrities? I dare not think about it!】
——【Now it's great; Fang Yang has become the matchmaker spokesperson again. In the future, if anyone's wedding can't be settled, they'll find a way to ask Fang Yang to come to their house to work. After he finishes working, the woman's family will agree directly, and they'll hold the event that same day!】
——【You're overthinking it. Given Fang Yang's previous movements, what ordinary family would dare to invite Fang Yang to work? Who knows if a volcano might be dug up in their backyard one day. It's just that after this experience, there will probably be many more people asking him to work. Although finding Fang Yang to dig things up leads to trouble, sometimes it's a good thing!】
For a time, everyone was amused to laughter by this scene.
Only the newlyweds lowered their heads, showing shy smiles.
At the dinner table that night, it was harmonious; a table of people chatting, laughing, eating, and drinking.
Fang Yang and the Cameraman didn't care about anything else, just focused on eating.
If you had to say who was eating the happiest, it was none other than the girl's father.
A man who loved face, he could eat with Fang Yang and the mayor at the same time today; he could brag about this for a year, or even a lifetime, after going back!
At this very moment, the more he looked at Da Niu, the more pleasing he found him, and the more at ease he felt.
Before, he was afraid of relatives and neighbors gossiping; now, who could have such a display of status! Who would dare to gossip?
After dinner, Fang Yang followed the mayor's car back to the hotel.
That night, the Xihe City police released an announcement.
【Today, our city uncovered a sewage treatment case. Currently, all involved personnel have been arrested, with the owner of the nitrogen fertilizer plant as the main person in charge, and the corresponding protective umbrellas have also been captured. The Anti-Corruption Bureau will conduct further investigations to thoroughly examine all details of the case. Please believe that Xihe City will strictly punish such illegal and criminal elements according to the law, fighting corruption and organized crime to the end!】
Once this announcement was released, it was screenshotted by interested parties and posted online.
After a period of fermentation, it exploded in popularity.
Even CCTV liked and reposted it.
For a time, netizens expressed their inner feelings one after another.
——【Support! The country needs more police like this. Serving the people shouldn't just be a slogan, but something implemented and carried out. Although I know there are too many corrupt officials in the world to catch them all, as long as they dare to catch them, I will support them unconditionally!】
——【Look at them; one environmental pollution case and they pull it up by the roots. What about here? We've been complaining and reporting for over ten years, and they still discharge sewage into the river, and no one cares at all. If you push him too hard, he even says, "If you have the ability, go pull in an investor; if you drive him away, who will I ask for my performance metrics?" It's ridiculous just thinking about it!】
——【There are too many such things; they can't be managed. Moreover, many things don't have enough evidence, and coupled with those rich and powerful people huddling together, ordinary commoners simply can't fight them. Without anyone speaking up, high-level leaders can't see it at all.】
——【That's why we need grassroots figures like Fang Yang. He lives at the bottom but possesses the energy to topple big trees. Just watch, it won't be long before those corrupt officials and organized crime members in Xihe City will be caught one by one. By then, it will truly become a pure land.】
The next morning.
Fang Yang woke up early in the morning.
Woken up by the heat!
Although it's been hot recently, the temperature is only around 30 degrees, not enough to turn on the air conditioning.
This morning, he was sweating profusely from the heat by 8 o'clock, and after turning on the AC, he couldn't fall back asleep.
He simply got up and called Boss Yang to clarify where he was working today.
It must be said that the program team's decision to find Boss Yang back then was truly a correct one.
At least he doesn't have to spend time finding work or dealing with excavators and such matters now.
Everything is arranged properly for him by someone else.
After breakfast, he hailed a taxi and headed to the destination.
On the way, looking at the scenery outside the car window, Fang Yang was surprised to find that this road was a bit familiar.
It wasn't until he saw a tall, bald mountain in the distance that he realized he had come to the vicinity of the volcanic park from last time again.
It's just that the place where he was working today was on the back of the mountain.
Due to the heavy rain after the volcanic eruption, all the volcanic ash on the mountain had been washed away, revealing its original appearance.
Although the volcano stopped erupting, it hadn't opened.
On one hand, an ancient city needed to be excavated at the foot of the mountain, and on the other, a gold mine needed to be mined on the mountain; it can only be said that it's impossible to open for a while.
Sitting in the car, Fang Yang couldn't help but think of Chen Feng.
He hadn't seen him for many days since no cultural relics were dug up, and he was really a bit unaccustomed to it.
He had originally thought he might be at the park entrance and wanted to go over to say hello and see how the ancient city development was going.
Later, he thought better of it; if he really wanted to see him, he could see him at any time.
The car bypassed the park entrance, turned around, drove to the other side of the volcano, and stopped at a location in a forest.
This place was not far from the volcano, in a small forest next to the foot of the mountain.
Looking around, the surroundings were all shrub forests, appearing even more lush and green under the sunlight.
The Cameraman started complaining as soon as he got out of the car: "Holy crap! It's so hot today. No, I have to go under a big tree to cool off!"
Fang Yang was also unbearably hot and hid under a big tree to look around.
Not far away was a factory that looked very dilapidated, the buildings were in ruins and covered in plants, and the surrounding walls had long since collapsed.
In no time at all, a man wearing a construction helmet ran over, panting.
Looking closely, it was actually an old acquaintance, the supervisor of the scenic area.
"Sorry, sorry, it's too hot. I was hiding in the car blowing the AC just now, and I just saw you guys come over!"
Fang Yang showed a faint smile: "It's okay, we just arrived too."
The Cameraman looked at him in surprise: "I say, buddy, you're addicted, aren't you? You're asking my brother to come work again. Aren't you afraid..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yang shouted: "Shut up!"
The Cameraman shrank his head and hid under the tree without speaking, but his eyes had already expressed all the thoughts in his heart.
The supervisor could only smile awkwardly: "Although there was a little accident last time, we received a lot of investment from the government after getting in. Although it can't be opened for a while, we've already become popular here; many people on the internet are asking when it will open."
"So, other places are being renovated now, and this back mountain needs to be fixed up too. Look at this abandoned factory; it's been deserted for many years, and it doesn't look right sitting here. I was thinking of asking you to help dig up the nearby foundation so we can rebuild the scenic area buildings!"
219. Giant Stone Carving, Glue Buried Underground!
After listening to the supervisor's explanation, Fang Yang roughly understood what needed to be done.
Looking at the surrounding environment and then at the desolate and dilapidated factory, it seemed completely out of place.
Not far away, a large excavator was already parked there.
Fang Yang didn't say a word, walked to the excavator, climbed into the cab, and started working.
Sitting high up, he could take in the entire factory at a glance. Except for looking dilapidated on the surface, the whole factory was only a few hundred square meters, completely a small workshop.
What he didn't understand was why a small workshop could be opened near such a scenic area.
He simply asked directly: "Curious to ask, when did this factory close, and why was it built here?"
The supervisor smiled and quickly responded: "It's been closed for over a year; I don't know exactly when it was built. Although this place is remote, occasionally tourists come here to explore and go for outings; you can tell by the garbage bags on the ground."
