"Secretary Lu, who are you talking about? We will definitely support him, "an elder sitting in the first row said.
Lu Yiwei shouted, "Li Haidong, stand up!"
Li Haidong was so scared by Lu Yiwei's shout that he almost fell to the ground. When he finally stood up, it attracted a lot of doubts.
As Lu Yiwei expected, everyone was still not convinced by Li Haidong's appointment as the village chief. So he said, "Maybe you all look down on Li Haidong, but look at how much he has changed over the years. Isn't he the biggest in the village? Also, he has been managing the orchard with me. He is very familiar with planting, management, and sales. If you all want to live a good life, you must follow his lead. " After that, everyone chose to remain silent. Some were not convinced, some did not trust him, and some looked down on this fatherless bachelor.
Seeing that everyone was still not convinced, Lu Yiwei continued, "I have already thought about it. Next year, I plan to expand the plantation area and open up another 50 mu of land on the back mountain. I will give this responsibility to Li Haidong. I don't trust him, so what are you all worried about?"
Lu Yiwei saw that it wasn't enough, so he added, "If everyone supports him, I'll pay for all the costs of planting seedlings and fertilizers in the orchard tomorrow." This time, everyone was reassured and nodded to show their support.
Although Li Haidong already knew about this in the morning, when he saw Lu Yiwei recommending him so much, he felt warm in his heart.
Lu Yiwei said to Old Fool, "Uncle Old Fool, why don't you say something?"
Old Fool was also surprised that Li Haidong was the village chief, but after hearing Lu Yiwei's analysis and guarantee, he felt much more at ease. He took over the microphone and said, "I also support Secretary Lu's suggestion. Li Tiedan's parents passed away when he was young, and he grew up with the help of everyone. I watched him grow up day by day. Although this brat didn't learn good things and got into the bad habit of gambling, ever since Secretary Lu came, this brat became obedient. It's like he's a different person, and he's starting to learn. He has also built a house in the past two years, which shows that he is not a bad person and has a brain. We should give him a chance to be the village chief. "
Seeing that everyone was supporting Li Haidong, Lu Yiwei struck while the iron was hot and asked Li Haidong to go to the rostrum to make a promise.
Li Haidong stood on the rostrum, clutching his clothes nervously. When he saw Lu Yiwei's encouraging look, he relaxed a lot. He took the microphone and said, "I, Li Tiedan, used to be a scoundrel, but ever since I followed Secretary Lu, I have found the meaning of living. Along the way, I have learned a lot and changed a lot. If everyone votes for me to be the village chief, I promise to lead everyone to a path to riches. If I can't do it, I will disappear from everyone's eyes and never return to East Tile Village. "
For a moment, people started applauding. Thunderous applause rang out continuously, breaking the silence of the night and resounding through the sky.
Seeing everyone's approval, Li Haidong knelt in front of everyone and cried bitterly. Who would have thought that Li Tiedan would become the village chief of East Tile Village? All of this could not have happened without Lu Yiwei's support and encouragement.
That night was destined to be an extraordinary one for the villagers of East Tile Village.
That night was destined to change Li Haidong's life.
