In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

The atmosphere in the commune office was a little solemn. Secretary Song had a calm expression on his face, and he calmly opened his briefcase with both hands and took out several documents.

The slight friction sound of the paper could be clearly heard in the quiet room. He placed the documents neatly on the table, then walked calmly to the three people and slowly sat down beside them.

At this time, Zhao Shuzhuo also quickly opened his briefcase and pulled out a carefully prepared document. With a serious and expectant look on his face, he said:

"Director Song, we are here today for a very important matter. In our village, after a rigorous voting and election process, Cheng Si stood out and was elected as this term's village chief."

"In order to let the commune have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation, I brought him here today to report on his work. Here are his detailed materials."

"It covers his plans for the future development of the village, his past work experience, and the villagers' expectations and support for him. Please take a look."

Director Song raised his head slightly, without any surprise in his eyes, as if he had expected this.

He stretched out his hand and took the materials steadily. His focused eyes immediately fell on the document and he began to examine it carefully.

He reviewed every detail word by word, and for a moment the only sound in the room was the slight sound of flipping papers.

In the somewhat quiet office, the atmosphere was inexplicably solemn. Zhao Shuzhuo sat aside, feeling as if he were being scratched by a cat, and felt uneasy.

From time to time, his eyes would secretly glance at Director Song, his eyes filled with tension and anticipation, as if he was waiting for an unknown trial.

Every time he stole a glance, he quickly looked away, afraid of being noticed by Director Song, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the corner of his clothes.

Director Song was immersed in the materials in his hands. His eyes were focused and deep as he examined every word and every data on the documents line by line and page by page.

His expression was as calm as a tranquil lake, without a single ripple.

After a long time, he finally closed the materials gently and stood up. His movements were unhurried and full of the calmness that came from years of experience.

He walked steadily to the desk, reached out and picked up the pen on the table. The pen seemed to come to life in his hand.

He signed his name on the document smoothly, then put the pen down and placed the document steadily on the table.

In the end, Zhao Shuzhuo couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, which were like a flood about to break through a dam.

He frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and asked:

"Director Song, you... you really have no doubts about Fourth Uncle being the village chief? Your reaction is beyond my expectation. You don't seem surprised at all."

Director Song raised his head slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face, that smile contained deep meaning and kindness.

He slowly glanced at the three people in front of him and said slowly:

"Do you know why I am so calm? Actually, to be honest, when I first considered the candidate for village chief, I already had my heart set on Cheng Si."

"I have seen his abilities, his prestige in the village and his enthusiasm for village affairs."

"It's just that you were acting according to Secretary Dong's instructions at the time, so I chose to remain silent."

"I want to give you young people an opportunity to make your own decisions, so that you can act according to your own judgment and ideas."

"I didn't expect that you have a good vision. The village chief you chose just happens to be the one I had in mind."

"Speaking of which, the moment you walked in, I saw that it was the three of you who came together, and I had already made some guesses in my mind, and it turned out to be true."

When Zhao Shuzhuo heard what Director Song said, he felt relieved and his admiration for Director Song was beyond words.

He nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, his eyes full of admiration and respect, and said excitedly:

"Director Song, I'm not trying to flatter you. Only an experienced and far-sighted leader like you can make such an accurate judgment on this matter."

"We young people have little experience. Compared with you, we are far behind in this aspect. There is so much to learn."

Director Song's smile widened at Zhao Shuzhuo's sincere praise. He took a step forward with a kind and expectant look.

He raised his hand and gently patted Zhao Shuzhuo's shoulder. The moment his palm fell, it seemed to convey some kind of strength and trust.

Afterwards, Director Song turned around and walked back to his desk. His steps were unhurried and full of confidence and calmness.

He bent down slightly, reached into the drawer of his desk, and searched carefully for something inside.

After a while, he took out a piece of paper and held it tightly in his hand, as if he was holding a precious treasure.

Director Song stood up again, walked towards Zhao Shuzhuo with brisk steps and said:

"You brought me good news from the village today, which made me very happy. As the saying goes, courtesy always pays off, and I also have good news to share with you. Come, Xiao Zhao, take a look."

When Zhao Shuzhuo heard this, he immediately jumped up from his seat as if by reflex. He quickly stretched out his hands and took the piece of paper handed to him by Director Song with a little awe and curiosity.

His eyes were instantly attracted by the contents on the paper, and his focused expression seemed as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

As his eyes moved slowly across the paper, after reading only half of it, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted up, revealing a bright smile.

That smile was like the sunshine that penetrated the clouds in the early morning, bright and full of hope. Then, he continued to look down, as if he wanted to firmly engrave every detail in his mind.

After finishing reading, he reluctantly took his eyes off the paper, turned around and handed the paper to Wang Jianguo and Cheng Si beside him.

There was still excitement and joy in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait to share this surprise with them.

Cheng Si's eyes wandered over the paper. After reading it word by word, a smile as brilliant as spring flowers instantly bloomed on his face, full of surprise and excitement.

His lips trembled slightly, and he stammered:

"Director Song, this... this... this is such great news! You actually got promoted, and you're going to be the county secretary. This is simply amazing!"

"This is the best proof of your ability and achievements. Congratulations. I believe that you will be able to achieve great things in your new position and bring benefits to more people."
