Starting as a town mayor, he rose through the ranks.

Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei's faces turned extremely ugly at this moment, and they wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The key is that there's no way to refute it, but only the person in question knows their own character.

If they argue back and make a big fuss, they will definitely be the ones who suffer in the end.

Seeing the three of them being scolded like grandsons by Luo Zhiguo, Chen Hua was overjoyed.

Normally, the three of them, relying on Liu Ming's backing, never took him, the Party Secretary, seriously.

This made him feel extremely frustrated, and he kept thinking that he would teach the three of them a lesson when he had the chance.

Now that's settled, Luo Zhiguo has thoroughly humiliated the three of them, which has greatly satisfied his anger.

Ye Hao and Qian Tao were secretly pleased to see the three of them get their comeuppance. After all, they had different philosophies and could not work together, so they were happy that the other party was uncomfortable.

Lin Ru watched the two sides clashing with amusement, seemingly an outsider.

However, she was still very surprised by Luo Zhiguo's methods.

After all, Luo Zhiguo is too young. People his age shouldn't have such shrewd methods.

However, what Lin Ru didn't know was that Luo Zhiguo was more mature and shrewd than his peers.

Those were all forced upon him by working in government offices, serving as Jiang Hua's secretary, and taking the blame in Bohou Town.

"Ahem!"

Seeing the silence, Chen Hua, as the Party Secretary, coughed twice and then said, "It's normal to have disagreements, but when discussing issues, we must take them seriously and not talk nonsense or disrupt the order..."

It has to be said that Chen Hua was ruthless enough to deliver the final blow to the three of them.

Immediately, Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei's faces darkened to the extreme. They were furious, gritted their teeth, and wished they could rush over and slap Chen Hua twice.

"Alright! Let's discuss the road repair issue again. Although our town is short of money and the county's finances are tight, there's always a way to overcome difficulties..."

After finishing off the three men, Chen Hua was worried that they might risk a fight with him, so he quickly changed the subject and continued speaking.

"I fully agree with the mayor's proposal to build roads. To get rich, build roads first. This is not just a slogan, but a reality. Our Bohou Town cannot develop at all without roads. As Secretary Chen just said, there are always more solutions than problems. Although we don't have money now, we can find ways, and even share the burden..."

Qiao Yan, the director of the Party and Government Office, was the first to stand up and support Luo Zhiguo, and even proposed to share the tasks, which surprised everyone in the conference room.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo was slightly taken aback, but he quickly understood what Qiao Yan meant: everyone should share the political achievements, but also share the difficulties.

You can't expect everyone to claim credit for their achievements while leaving Mayor Luo Zhiguo to shoulder all the burdens alone.

It has to be said that Luo Zhiguo's decision to promote her was the right one. When it comes to crucial moments, she is truly meticulous and willing to take the lead.

"Ahem!"

Ye Hao coughed twice, looked at everyone, and said, "I also agree with building the road. If we don't have the money, we can all work together to find a solution. I'm here to say that I'll be responsible for contributing 50,000 yuan to the road construction costs..."

This guy is a shrewd old fox. He was afraid that Luo Zhiguo would take Qiao Yan's advice and then share the cost with everyone, so he quickly took the lead in expressing that he had minimized his own difficulties.

"Mayor Ye! The plan hasn't even been finalized, and the funding hasn't been set, so why are you in such a hurry to determine your own share of the burden?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yan smiled and teased, determined not to let this guy's scheme succeed.

Otherwise, if everyone sets such a low contribution amount with him as an example, in the end, all the pressure will still fall on Luo Zhiguo, the town mayor.

Wouldn't everything she had just done be for nothing? So she was determined not to give Ye Hao this chance to play tricks.

Then, she paused, not giving anyone a chance to speak, and looked at Luo Zhiguo, saying, "Mayor! You see, Mayor Ye Hao is actively cooperating with the task allocation. Although the plan hasn't been finalized yet, let's set a target first so everyone knows how much they should share..."

That was a brilliant statement. It not only completely thwarted Ye Hao's scheme but also turned his defensive shield into an offensive spear.

Today is Qiao Yan's first time attending a Party Committee meeting; previously, people didn't know much about her.

But after this incident, everyone finally experienced her methods as the director of the Party and Government Office, so no one dared to underestimate her anymore.

Even Luo Zhiguo, who spent the most time with her, couldn't help but think more highly of her, thinking to himself, "It seems that Qiao Yan is not a simple woman. If she is used well, she will definitely be one of my great generals."

"Although the road construction plan hasn't been finalized yet, I've looked into the road conditions in each village, and the funding needed for the road construction should be around 30 to 50 million. Let's set it at 30 million for now. Since Director Qiao has proposed sharing the cost, as the town mayor, I'll contribute 10 million..."

After glancing around at everyone, Luo Zhiguo slowly spoke, directly allocating one-third of the funds and setting the tone to see who would dare to play tricks.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hua couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking to himself, "If you, the town mayor, have already contributed ten million, wouldn't it be a laughing stock if I, the party secretary, didn't also contribute ten million?"

But this is a Party Committee meeting, and everything they say is recorded. This is not a joke. If we fail to complete the task by then...

That would be embarrassing, and it would also make you look bad in front of your superiors.

"Ahem! Since Mayor Luo has already contributed ten million, then I'll contribute ten million too."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Hua had no choice but to cough twice and speak with a forced smile.

"Since the two leaders have already taken the lion's share, I have a suggestion: let the remaining seven of us each contribute two million. This way, the road construction funds will be more sufficient..."

Qiao Yan spoke again, glanced around at everyone, and gave a suggestion that made everyone grit their teeth.

Ye Hao's lips twitched involuntarily. He thought to himself, "You wretched woman, if you want to cause trouble, go back and cause trouble for your husband. Why are you coming here to cause trouble for everyone?"

"I agree with Director Qiao's suggestion. I'll add one million to my own contribution, and I'll be responsible for sharing three million..."

Lin Ru was the first to stand up for Qiao Yan, and she also blocked all of their escape routes.

This makes people who want to bargain hesitant to even speak up.

Since they've already added a million to their price, anyone who tries to haggle at this point would be making a fool of themselves.

Ye Hao was immediately dumbfounded, thinking to himself, "Miss, you're here from the provincial capital on a temporary assignment, while we're just small fry from a rural town. We're nothing compared to you."

Ye Hao wasn't the only one cursing in his heart; Fan Ming, Zhou Guanhai, and Li Xiumei were also cursing because they had been forced to share the burden.

The three men's faces were extremely gloomy. If they could just give up, they would definitely have struggled to get up.

Then he said to everyone, "You can play however you want, we won't play along."

But they can't do that, after all, they are a group, and if they do that, they definitely won't be able to stay in Bohou Town in the future.
