"The roads and nursing homes were all built because of Director Qi's brother."

"He's just too low-key."

"I just don't want to talk about these things."

The villagers watching outside were immediately in an uproar. No one expected that the changes in the village over the years were not due to Qi Tongwei.

But it's because of that insignificant Mu Chen?!

Didn't he go to the city to work? How could he possibly know such a powerful boss!

Did they underestimate Mu Chen all along? In fact, Mu Chen wasn't just working outside; he was doing very well.

Otherwise, how could Mu Chen have found such a beautiful girlfriend?

Uncle Ba in the courtyard suddenly changed his demeanor.

His old face beamed with a smile that resembled a chrysanthemum.

He said to Mu Chen, "Little Chen, I told you two brothers were going to amount to something. One of you is now a high-ranking official, and the other is now a big boss."

"Well, it's not a good idea for my little rascal to just stay at home doing nothing all the time."

"How about I go out and hang out with you, and make some more money?"

Chapter 61: The Turnaround and Return to Jingzhou

Qi Tongwei's rapid change of attitude caught everyone off guard.

And that change along with it.

The villagers watching outside the courtyard all looked at Mu Chen with new respect.

"For such a big boss to give him face, Mu Chen has really made something of himself!"

"How did the Qi family choose this ancestral grave site? Their own son became a high-ranking official in the province, and their adopted son is also doing quite well!"

"Tsk, if my son could be even half as successful as Qi Tongwei and Mu Chen, I'd be thanking my lucky stars."

"Who can disagree? These two brothers, one with power and the other with money, are truly enviable."

"The Qi couple are really going to enjoy their retirement!"

"Not only that, if you ask me, Mu Chen is also a thoughtful guy. He's made it big, and he still knows how to help his fellow villagers."

“Those nursing homes and schools in our village, weren’t they all built by people hired by others?”

"We've benefited from Mu Chen's success too!"

It was only at this point that everyone realized that Mu Chen, whom they had always thought was incompetent, had actually accomplished so much quietly.

The image of Mu Chen in everyone's mind underwent a complete 180-degree change.

Even Qi's parents were shocked.

Holding Mu Chen's hand, she asked, "Xiao Chen, is what this Mr. Gao said true?"

"Did you have all those things in the village repaired?"

"What's wrong with you, kid! You've made a name for yourself outside, but you didn't tell us. Now your dad and I are worried about you all the time!"

Although there was some resentment in his words.

But more than anything, I felt relieved.

Mr. and Mrs. Qi didn't care that Mu Chen was keeping it a secret from them; they were more concerned about their second son, whom they had always worried about, achieving success in his career.

As long as I know Mu Chen is doing well outside.

They were already completely satisfied.

Under the concerned gazes of Qi's parents, Mu Chen could only nod and say, "Dad, Mom, I did ask them to fix those things."

"The reason I'm not telling you is because my work requires confidentiality."

"It's really inconvenient for me to tell you."

When Mr. and Mrs. Qi received Mu Chen's affirmative answer, happy smiles appeared on their faces.

He watched as his sons became successful one after another.

Mr. and Mrs. Qi were naturally overjoyed and very understanding of Mu Chen, so they did not delve into his work.

Meanwhile, Uncle Ba on the opposite side was looking at Mu Chen.

He looked on with longing.

Mu Chen felt a little guilty about leaving them hanging.

Although these relatives were somewhat sycophantic and looked down on others, as the other party said, when the Qi family couldn't afford to eat, it was he who lent them 100 catties of grain.

Clearly distinguishing between gratitude and resentment has always been Mu Chen's consistent style.

So he looked at the other person and said, "Uncle Ba, it's not easy to make money outside these days."

"It's not that college graduates can get good jobs."

"I'll say it again: I know a restaurant manager who's short a few waiters. I can arrange for your grandson to give it a try."

"I can't guarantee he'll become rich and powerful, but as long as he's willing to work hard."

"I will definitely have no problem being able to live a life free from worries about food and clothing."

Mu Chen certainly couldn't arrange a high position for the other party's grandson. He could only guarantee one thing: that his eighth uncle's grandson would be rewarded as long as he was willing to put in the effort.

Don't underestimate this point.

The idea that hard work will be rewarded is a fantasy that only exists in video games.

When Uncle Ba across from him heard that the job Mu Chen could offer was just a waiter, his expression clearly showed some struggle.

A college graduate, going to work as a waiter?

"Let's forget about it... My grandson is a college student, after all."

After finishing his sentence, Uncle Ba left dejectedly.

Little did he know that the restaurant Mu Chen was talking about was not the same concept as the restaurant he was thinking of!

And on the other side.

Qi Tongwei took the initiative to shake hands with the town's leaders.

He said with a friendly expression, "Comrade, I'm sorry for losing my temper earlier."

She has absolutely no airs.

The mayor immediately bowed respectfully and shook hands, hurriedly saying, "No, no."

"It's all just my wild guesses."

"I never imagined that it would be your younger brother who would truly build up our hometown."

Qi Tongwei patted the town mayor on the shoulder.

He said, "Don't be so nervous."

“We cadres, do you think we don’t have our own families in our hearts? Of course we do.”

"Whether I, Qi Tongwei, have the ability to build up my hometown is actually just a matter of a word from me."

"But why didn't I do that?"

"The reason is actually very simple: we should not only have our own families in mind, but also the big family of the people in our jurisdiction."

"Doing your job well and ensuring a good life for the people in your jurisdiction is the most important thing."

"Only then can we live up to the responsibility entrusted to us by the organization."

"You should go back first today, and we can visit the newly built school together tomorrow."

The town mayor nodded hurriedly.

He admired Qi Tongwei more and more. No wonder he was able to sit in the position of Director of the Provincial Public Security Department and rise to the rank of deputy provincial-level cadre!

Just from those words.

That's enough for him to study for decades!

After the town mayor turned and left, the villagers who had been watching outside, seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, dispersed one after another.

The Qi family's banquet was able to continue.

What just happened did not affect anyone's mood at all.

……

The next day, shortly after dawn.

Qi Tongwei and Mu Chen then visited the school with the town mayor and got a good look at the development of their hometown.

He then took a car directly to return to Jingzhou.

Given Mu Chen and Qi Tongwei's current positions, even a single day is precious, especially for Qi Tongwei, who hasn't been in charge of the provincial department for many days.

He must now return to the Public Security Bureau of Jingzhou Province.
