Chapter 1201: Chapter 602: Uninvited Guest

In the field, a buffalo was nibbling on the green grass under the shade of a tree, and nearby, two playful children ran to a farther spot to grab a handful of grass and then raced back as if competing to see whose grass the buffalo would eat first.

Watching this scene and thinking about the short journey along the road where they encountered the buffalo in the fields, Assistant Meng couldn’t help but exclaim, "Having a good leader really makes a significant difference!"

Secretary Niu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if we continue to develop like this, the economic takeoff of this village is just around the corner. Speaking of which, Comrade Yan Fei really played an indispensable role. In this respect, he is already ahead of our government work, making us feel quite embarrassed!"

Assistant Meng replied with a smile, "You can’t just say that! His development was also indispensable because of the local support, which is the result of everyone’s collective effort. However, that is still not enough. If we want the Tanghe buffalo to reach the global market, we all need to continue working hard!"

That morning, Secretary Niu kept nodding, "Exactly, Assistant Meng, you see further than we do. While we are still focusing on the domestic market, you are already looking at the whole world..."

Assistant Meng chuckled, "Stop buttering me up, let’s just make a joint effort!"

As they were speaking, the car passed through a village, and the road ahead led down a long decline. At this point, one could vaguely see a vast construction site a few miles away.

Secretary Niu pointed ahead and said, "That is a large cattle farming base invested in and built by Comrade Yan Fei. Our newly arrived Mayor Xu even participated in the groundbreaking ceremony. Comrade Yan Fei has a strong foundation among the local populace. He mobilized the entire village to participate in the construction and took special care of the population from the areas affected by this year’s disasters. Now, the progress of the project is faster than that of construction in big cities—it changes significantly each day."

Following the direction pointed by Secretary Niu, Assistant Meng looked until the car went down the slope and was out of sight before he spoke, "The scale is really not small!"

Secretary Niu explained, "That piece of land is enclosed by a river, and due to the rising water this year, there was some damage. Later, he decided to dig a segment of the riverbed on the other side and even bought two dredging boats to deepen the riverbed, all to prevent future major flooding."

"Very good, very good. Those who don’t think far ahead face troubles close at hand. Despite his young age, Comrade Yan Fei has a far-sighted vision," Assistant Meng praised with a smile before jokingly turning his attention back to the road ahead. "It’s just that the urgent repairs in this village are a bit shoddy. If you want to fix the roads, you should start earlier. Look, they aren’t even finished yet!"

Several workers were currently using tools to repair the potholes in the road. Primarily, this year’s rising waters and the heavy traffic had seriously damaged the road surface.

Prior to this, using sand and stone mixtures for repairs proved futile, and now, they were refilling it with asphalt and gravel.

Secretary Niu glanced over and quickly spoke in defense of the village leaders, "Tanghe County has always been a poverty-stricken county, and many places suffered disasters this year, making our financial situation extremely tight..."

He was worried that when these leaders returned, they might recall this and casually remark that the local entrepreneurs were doing well, but the local government support was insufficient to even repair the roads properly.

That would certainly lead to some consequences!

Just then, a naughty child zooming past the car on a bicycle startled them.

Assistant Meng was taken aback, "Whose child is this? Isn’t it dangerous to ride like that?"

It was indeed dangerous. The steep slope they had just passed was not only long but also steep. The naughty child probably wasn’t using the brakes at all on the descent, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to overtake the car—even though the car wasn’t driving fast since it was passing through the village. Yet the naughty child couldn’t even sit properly on the bike seat, instead riding with his legs awkwardly stretched out beneath the handlebars, which made it almost impossible to jump off safely in an emergency.

Secretary Niu could only put a positive spin on it, "Probably everyone at home is out working in the fields, and there’s no one to watch over him. Today being the weekend, the children are just running wild. It seems we need to reinforce the education on safety."

While talking, the car had caught up with the naughty child who had slowed after the downhill, and Secretary Niu quickly leaned out to warn, "Be careful, young friend! Slow down when you ride your bike. You don’t even brake when you get off, it could be dangerous..."

The naughty child glanced back, not intimidated by the fact that he was in a car and declared with a sense of mission, "What do you know? I have urgent business, important business..."

He then shouted towards the workers at the construction site, "The people from the site just called to tell you to hurry up and finish the job. The leaders are almost here, they just passed Zhou Dalian’s restaurant. If they see us scrambling at the last minute, you’re going to be in for it..."

The boy spoke with the tone of an adult, clearly having just been instructed by his family to deliver the message.

Inside the car, both Secretary Niu and Assistant Meng were caught between laughter and tears, the driver was holding back his laughter, and Assistant Meng’s assistant couldn’t help it and burst out laughing.

A few workers who heard the naughty child’s shout and saw the two cars pass by, one with a wide-ranging experience, hesitated before muttering, "Wasn’t the license plate on that car behind from the Provincial City? Could it be the leaders?"

"It’s possible!" another worker said somewhat confusedly, watching the cars disappearing into the
