I'm really not a dresser

Chapter 590
Helping the villagers is a matter of affection, and not helping the villagers is a duty. Ling Yu doesn't think he owes the village anything, so he has a clear conscience.

Fortunately, those who criticized Ling Yu behind their backs only dared to whisper behind their backs, but no one really brought it to the surface. After all, they were not stupid, and it would be a big advantage for Ling Yu to pay for road construction.

As a result, the matter of funding road construction was decided in this way, and construction will start after the next year.

However, after this incident, Ling Yu became famous in Shiliba Village. Many people heard about him for a while, and even the town government sent people to Ling Yu's home to find out the situation.

In any case, this road construction is a great achievement. Naturally, the officials and gentlemen can do this. They can build up the countryside without them paying a penny, and it can be counted as an achievement during their term of office.

In this regard, Ling Yu naturally didn't bother with these matters.

It's just that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. After learning about Ling Yu's road construction, the officials and family members of the town government came directly to Ling Yu's house.

And this time it was none other than the mayor Wang and his party who came to condolences when Ling Yu was the number one student in the college entrance examination last time.

What is different from last time is that this time the attitude of Mayor Wang and his party towards Ling Yu has undergone a 180-degree change, and they have completely lost the expression that they treated Ling Yu like a child at the beginning.

"Ling Yu! When you were admitted to the university as the top student in the college entrance examination, I knew that you would be a dragon and a phoenix in the future, and your future was limitless. I didn't expect it to come true so soon!"

As soon as he saw Ling Yu, Mayor Wang shook hands with Ling Yu kindly and said with a smile.

"Mayor Wang is absurd! I'm just doing a small business, and I'm not a dragon or phoenix."

Ling Yu immediately responded with a hypocritical smile.

"Hey! That's wrong! Isn't it proof that you can contribute to building roads for the whole village this time? This shows that you are a responsible entrepreneur!"

Mayor Wang continued to give Ling Yu a high hat.

Although such words sounded like flattery, it was really comfortable to say that they couldn't stand it. It was no wonder why those upper-level people obviously hated flattery, but couldn't help but want to hear flattery.

It's just that Mayor Wang's uncharacteristically respectful attitude made Ling Yu feel a little bad in his heart.

"I don't know what is the so-called Mayor Wang's visit this time?"

Ling Yu asked calmly.

"Actually...it's nothing wrong! Didn't I hear that your village is going to build roads! As the mayor, I naturally have to come and investigate and understand the demands of the masses! It is also convenient for follow-up work .”

Mayor Wang explained casually.

But Ling Yu didn't believe that Mayor Wang's big battle was just for this simple investigation, and there might be other things, but they haven't mentioned it yet.

"It's a good thing for this college student to go home and build his hometown, so Ling Yu, you can be said to be a model representative of our entire town. The development of your hometown is inseparable from you. I wonder if you have any other plans when you come back this time? For example, Engage in agricultural innovation, invest in factories and so on?"

Mayor Wang finally started to turn the topic into a serious one, but his fox tail was exposed.

"Mayor Wang, I don't dare to take the title of a model representative like you, and I have limited ability now, so there is only so much I can do for everyone. As for going back to the village to invest or something, I have no plans for this at the moment. "

Ling Yu explained with a humble face.

"It's okay, it's good if you have the heart! Like our town, you can also invest more! Isn't the agricultural development trend now very good! You have a financial technical specialist and we can help you solve it! At that time, the leader will count everyone in the town as rich together, right?"

Mayor Wang continued with a meaningful expression.

However, when Ling Yu heard this, he instantly understood the meaning of Mayor Wang's words.

It's nothing more than wanting to attract investment and let him spend money on the construction of his hometown.

If it can really drive the regional economy, Ling Yu is of course willing to do it, but unfortunately he has no idea about agriculture, let alone the intention to invest in this area, so Ling Yu can only do nothing to help Mayor Wang's idea.

"This...I'll think about this! If there is a suitable opportunity, I will make plans in this regard!"

Ling Yu pondered for a moment and said.

Seeing Ling Yu's reaction, Mayor Wang didn't show anything unusual, but he obviously attached great importance to this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have made a special trip here.

"That's fine! If you have this consideration in the future, feel free to come to us for solutions if you have any problems. We always welcome young talents like you to return to your hometown and create!"

Mayor Wang smiled lightly.

Regarding this, Ling Yu was noncommittal.

After accompanying Mayor Wang and his party to visit all the areas in the village that were planned for road construction, Ling Yu finally escaped successfully.

However, Mayor Wang and his party didn't stay for long before returning without success.

As the end of the new year was approaching, every household began to show a touch of festiveness one after another, and the village became lively for a while.

After Ling Yu prepared all the new year's goods, with the sound of firecrackers, the new year finally came!
Unlike the hustle and bustle in the city, the taste of the New Year in the countryside is that the family sits together to eat and chat and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

After all, this was Tong Shiya's first New Year's Eve at Ling's house. Although it was not as lively as her house in the past, it was a bit more warm and peaceful.

In this way, Ling Yu took Tong Shiya to spend the first Spring Festival at home, and officially confirmed the identity of Tong Shiya's daughter-in-law.

And when it was the first day of junior high school, Ling Yu drove Tong Shiya back to the old man's house in Lingcheng to celebrate the new year.

Although it is running back and forth, it is also full of New Year's flavor.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. After experiencing the lively Spring Festival celebrations, the days began to return to calm day by day.

During this Spring Festival, Ling Yu and Tong Shiya spent almost half of their time visiting relatives and friends, and finally had time to relax.

But at the same time, the road construction in the village was also on the agenda.

After Ling Yu transferred the 100 million project funding into the account of the village committee, the construction of the road started immediately, and almost every household participated in it.

In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Guozhi naturally assumed the role of supervisor, and the account of the village committee was also open and transparent throughout the process.

On the day of the start of construction, Ling Yu also arranged to take part of the 100 million project fund to give out red envelopes to everyone, which won the praise of many villagers.

Of course, the 100 million project funds are definitely not enough for road construction, so Ling Yu let the village arrange what to do with the remaining funds.

Because of the supervision of everyone in the village, Ling Yu is not afraid that someone will embezzle without permission.
