Chapter 272 So that’s what you were planning!
After chatting for nearly an hour, Secretary Xu declined the invitation to stay for dinner and left with his secretary in satisfaction.

Li Guiqin immediately grabbed her son, with a worried look on her face, "What's the matter? Why are you talking for so long?"

"Don't worry, it's a good thing." Zhou Hao said with a smile: "But I can't tell you for now, you will know later."

Li Guiqin nodded, but the worry on her face did not dissipate much.

She was just an ordinary citizen, and she always felt a little wary and afraid of officials.

Zhou Jianhua, on the other hand, understood the situation clearly and said directly, "The child has done nothing wrong and is upright. There is nothing to worry about."

Li Guiqin thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Jia Hong, who was preparing food next door, sneered. She was being scolded so much on the Internet, but she hadn't done anything wrong?
It’s just six years of teaching. Do you really think you have obtained a golden certificate?

Before dinner started, Zhou Hao simply dragged his yellow-haired cousin out for a big shopping spree. They bought all the cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and drinks that could be used as gifts, and almost emptied out several small shops and supermarkets in the village.

"No... I know you have money, but you shouldn't spend it like this, right?" Zhou Jingming said in confusion, "Why did you buy so many things? Do you run a supermarket at home?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just move." Zhou Hao said unhappily.

"Okay, now you are the boss and I will listen to you." Zhou Jingming scratched his head and continued to move the supplies.

Although this kid is a little slick, his character is not too bad. At least he did not inherit his mother's narrow-minded personality.

After getting in the car, Zhou Jingming leaned over and whispered, "We are all brothers, tell me the truth, how much money can this kid make in a year now?"

Zhou Hao raised a finger and started the car.

"Wow, more than a million per year?" Zhou Jingming was surprised and envious. "This income level is considered one of the best in our Daliu Village!"

Zhou Hao smiled calmly without explaining anything further.

one million?

Ah.

When we drove back to the old house, everyone was shocked to see a car full of supplies.

"Xiao Yuan, what are you doing?" The old man frowned in confusion. "We don't need these things at home, why did you buy a whole truckload of them? It's a waste of money!"

Jia Hong, who was standing behind him, took the opportunity to mutter, "Showing off..."

Not wanting to bother with this bitch, Zhou Hao went up to hold the old man and said, "Grandpa, this thing is not for you. It's for the villagers in the village. I'll have to trouble you to run door to door."

"What?" The old man was stunned for a moment, but after a few seconds, a gleam of light flashed in his already somewhat cloudy eyes.

"Okay, okay." The old man patted Zhou Hao on the shoulder with a smile, "You made money without any evil intentions, you are a good guy."

Although these words were meant to praise Zhou Hao, they were obviously full of innuendo and Jia Hong, who was standing behind him, was so angry that she wanted to lose her temper on the spot.

What does that mean? Who becomes heartless after making money?
As a result, his uncle Zhou Jianguo at the side gave him a quick glare, and Jia Hong immediately behaved himself.

Driving the car with the old man, Zhou Hao began to deliver gifts door to door. The old man was responsible for all the door knocking and entertaining, and he was only responsible for being a porter.

It means that this favor is given directly to the old man.

The old man also returned the favor. Every time he knocked on a door, he would intentionally or unintentionally show off his proud grandson, and the smile on his face seemed to deepen.

Everyone was stunned to receive such a gift for no reason, but also a little flattered. They secretly guessed the intention behind these gifts... But Zhou Hao's answer was the same, "Grandpa always told me that we should not forget our roots when we are rich, especially these elders and folks in our hometown, who helped our family when we were young. It's rare for them to come back to celebrate the New Year, so it's only right for them to visit more often."

These two sentences made the host smile from ear to ear. He gave the old man a thumbs up and praised him for being sensible, and also praised the old man a lot.

After working for more than an hour and sending off almost all the neighbors who could walk, the old man finally came to his senses.

"Kid, you're dragging me around to give gifts. It shouldn't be just for the sake of bringing me along to save face, right?"

Zhou Hao chuckled, pulled over, and told Secretary Xu the reason why he was looking for him.

You can keep it secret with other people, but you still have to be clear with the old man. After all, he is the one who has the final say in the family.

Only he can calm down those greedy relatives and avoid trouble in the future.

"You mean... our Daliu Village is going to develop tourism? The secretary wants you to help promote it?" The old man was shocked when he learned the truth.

Zhou Hao nodded, "You have to keep this secret for now, don't tell anyone else."

The old man nodded and asked in a low voice: "What does that have to do with your gift today?"

"Grandpa, if the village engages in tourism development, it won't just be the scenic spot operators that will benefit. Our entire village will benefit as well. The simplest example is that we can renovate the unused houses and turn them into B&Bs for tourists to stay in."

The old man's eyes lit up and he sat up straight. "And then? Keep talking!"

"By that time, the village's folk catering will definitely be a big industry. With such a big plate, there should be someone to take the lead, right?"

The old man thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to be the leader?"

"I have my own career plans, so I don't have time." Zhou Hao shook his head and said, "So I'm just dragging you out for a walk to build a good relationship in advance. When we fight for power later, we'll have more people to help speak up."

The old man frowned slightly, "But at my age, I'm afraid I can't handle such a big thing."

Zhou Hao lowered his voice and said, "My dad doesn't work on the ship anymore. He quit that job."

"You kid." The old man laughed directly, "After all this talk, it turns out that you were planning this!"

First, let the old man who is the head of the family build up his reputation, and then he will become the person in charge of the entire alliance, and then delegate the management power to Zhou Jianhua...

With this set of procedures, no one can find fault with it, and it is useless even if those relatives are dissatisfied.

"Jianhua gave birth to a good son." The old man touched Zhou Hao's head, "If I could have such a motivated and sensible son, I would wake up smiling in my dreams."

"Those who can make money are not filial, and those who are filial do not know how to make money. Your grandmother never enjoyed happiness until the day she died..."

Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly. He couldn't respond to this.

"Okay, let's go." The old man sat up straight, "It's getting dark, I guess they're waiting for us to eat."

Zhou Hao cautiously asked, "What about this?"

"You are doing a great thing that benefits the whole village, how can I ruin your plan?" The old man rolled his eyes at him, "But you, kid, come back more often when you have time, don't stay away for several years without saying a word."

After a pause, the old man's voice suddenly became a little sad and low, "I am old now, and I don't know how many years I have left. Now I don't expect to become rich and powerful anymore. I just want to see you, my children and grandchildren, live in peace..."

Halfway through his words, the old man suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, where is your partner? When can you bring him back for me to see?"
