At the pinnacle of power: parachuted into your hometown as a leader right from the start!

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Feng patted Wang Zhengguo's arm with a helpless expression on his face.

Wang Zhengguo's rugged face was full of smiles.

"Haha, County Chief Jiang, aren't you a leader now? Of course I have to show you respect. We can't undermine each other, can we?"

Jiang Feng shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, Uncle Wang, there are only a few of us here now, so let's not do this. I'm off work now, just an ordinary villager from Kaoshan Village."

Wang Zhengguo smiled and nodded.

"That's right, just a regular deputy county head, right?"

Jiang Feng was also amused by Wang Zhengguo.

At this moment, Chen You shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, Zheng Guo, stop with the idle chatter. County Chief Jiang has important business to discuss with us."

Seeing this, Wang Zhengguo's smile faded slightly.

"County Magistrate Jiang, what's the matter?"

Jiang Feng didn't hide anything from the two of them.

"Actually, there's a food factory that's planning to set up shop in our Yongfeng Township, and they have some openings. You can let the people in our village give it a try."

Upon hearing this, the two men's eyes lit up immediately. Being able to work in a factory was a great thing for the people in their village.

"Really? How many people does County Chief Jiang plan to hire for this food factory?"

Chen You looked at Jiang Feng with a nervous expression. Even if it was just one or two people, it would be a good thing for them.

We'll let as many as we can get in.

Jiang Feng stretched out both hands, one hand clenched into a fist and the other hand with all fingers spread out.

"Fifteen."

Wang Zhengguo's expression froze for a moment, then he said excitedly.

"Fifteen? That's so many! That's wonderful! If all of these spots were from our Kaoshan Village, that would be fifteen families!"

"The fact that fifteen families are living better lives is no small matter for our village."

Although their village has a large registered population, there are actually only about 300 households, totaling nearly 1,500 people.

Sending out fifteen people at once is quite a lot.

"Hey County Chief Jiang, are these fifteen spots for our Kaoshan Village?"

Chen You understood Jiang Feng's meaning at this point and then tentatively asked.

Jiang Feng waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Yes and no. Our Kaoshan Village can secure all of these spots, but we don't know who the factory will choose."

Upon hearing this, Chen You's face was filled with excitement.

"Okay, that's fine. As long as they're from our Kaoshan Village, that's fine. As for who they choose, that's up to them. We can't force them to accept anyone, can we?"

Wang Zhengguo nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Brother You is right. This spot is enough for our village. As for who they choose, that's their business. We can't be too greedy."

"However, if you ask me, all the good things that have happened in our Kaoshan Village are thanks to you, County Chief Jiang."

"If it weren't for you, how could our Kaoshan Village have encountered such a good thing? Why would the factory consider people from our Kaoshan Village?"

Upon seeing this, Chen You immediately chimed in.

"Yes, since County Chief Jiang returned, so many good things have happened in our village. All the villagers should thank you."

Seeing this, Jiang Feng waved his hand, his face full of smiles.

"Hey, Uncle Chen and Uncle Wang, you're wrong. If you're going to thank someone, you shouldn't thank me. You should thank the government and the investors. This has nothing to do with me."

"Besides, the people I should thank the most for who I am today are my fellow villagers. If it weren't for them, would I be where I am today?"

Chen You didn't care at all. In their minds, it was only natural to treat each other as fellow villagers.

"Oh, County Chief Jiang, you're too kind. We're all neighbors, it's only right that we do this."

Wang Zhengguo nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng revealed a mysterious smile.

"Yes, Uncle Chen is a fellow villager, so it's only right that we help him. There's no need for thanks."

This statement is also a tacit admission that all these benefits were brought about by Jiang Feng.

But he certainly couldn't say it outright, since there's always some personal motive involved in these kinds of things.

But Jiang Feng didn't regret it. What a joke! How did he even get into school?

Wasn't that all contributed by the villagers? What's wrong with letting the villagers benefit a little?

He wasn't the kind of person who would appoint illiterate villagers as auxiliary police officers.

Chen You and Wang Zhengguo were laughing so hard their eyes were almost closed.

Tell me, how did such an amazing young man come from their village?

At such a young age, he became a high-ranking leader in the county, and his entire village benefited from it.

The money I borrowed back then was really worth it!

"Haha, County Chief Jiang, you're right, we're all from the same village."

Jiang Feng chatted with the two of them for a while with a smile, and emphasized his principles.

"Of course, I have to say this upfront: once people from our village are selected, they have to work hard. Otherwise, if they get fired, they shouldn't cry and beg for mercy."

Wang Zhengguo's face was full of solemnity.

"Don't worry, if the villagers who go in don't work hard, I'll be the first to disagree. Wouldn't that be a waste of everyone's opportunity?"

"Opportunities are already scarce, and it's all luck that he got in. And if he doesn't work hard after getting in, the villagers won't be happy about it."

Jiang Feng nodded slightly.

"Yes, Uncle Wang, you're right."

At this moment, Chen You looked at Jiang Feng tentatively.

"County Chief Jiang, could you please increase the number of job openings? So many of our villagers are unemployed and can only rely on their ten or twenty mu of land to support their families. Their lives are really difficult."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhengguo's eyes were fixed on Jiang Feng.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's face showed a troubled expression.

Upon seeing this, Wang Zhengguo immediately spoke up.

"It's alright, it's alright. If this matter is difficult for County Chief Jiang, then so be it. It's better to have something than nothing. Fifteen spots are quite a lot."

Chen You immediately waved his hand and said.

"Yes, if you don't have it, then forget it."

Seeing this, Jiang Feng's expression softened slightly.

"Okay, I'll ask around again later and see if we can get twenty spots. Any more than that and we really won't have any left."

Upon seeing this, the two immediately smiled and agreed, not expecting such a pleasant surprise.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng didn't give the two any more chances; the remaining opportunities would have to be given out gradually in the future.

"There's another thing, which is that the county is preparing to conduct an agricultural pilot project, mainly adopting a model of dual use of water and dual harvesting of land, to increase the income of the people and farmers."

"The first batch of pilot projects will require approximately 2,000 mu of agricultural land. Will our village be able to raise that amount of land next year?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhengguo and Chen You were both taken aback.

Land expropriation? This is no small matter. If the compensation for land expropriation is insufficient, the people will not care what kind of leader it is.

People only see how much money they have.
