Chapter 117. Refusal, Recommendation
Gasping for breath as he headed home, afraid that Lin Yuanzhi, that kid, was like a night owl entering the house — never comes without cause.
As a result, just as I was ready for a fight, you come and tell me that you’ve been observing my character and abilities and want me to help you build the leadership team for Liu’s village?
Lianshan was dumbfounded for a while. After finally digesting Lin Yuanzhi’s friendly yet slightly eerie proposal, he frowned and asked, "Did the brigade leader just have a drink before coming over? With my level of education, barely graduating elementary school properly, what makes you think I can manage the Liu family’s village production brigade’s accounts for a couple of hundred households and over a thousand people? Thanks for the offer, but I don’t have the skills for that kind of responsibility.
It’s not that I don’t want to work wholeheartedly for our socialist construction, but I really don’t have the knack for tallying beads on an abacus and doing the bookkeeping.
So, you should find someone else more capable!"
Lin Yuanzhi was wide-eyed, never expecting that such a humble gesture would end up with such a slap in the face.
Damn it, isn’t being a brigade cadre what everyone desires, inviting and giving gifts to climb up, digging for connections?
He came willingly and yet Lianshan still had such an indifferent attitude!?
After persuading him with earnest words for quite a while without seeing any signs of him being moved, Lin Yuanzhi had no choice but to ask Lianshan who he thought would be suitable for the accountant’s position in the village.
Lianshan frowned and thought for a while, eventually suggesting both his elder brother-in-law and brother-in-law Ning Jianshe.
