Chapter 131 - 129: Arranging Accommodation
Jiang Ying’s comment had distracted Qin Jian, and by the time he wanted to look again, they were already getting further and further away from those few people.
The vehicle stopped at the village office, where the party branch secretary, the village head, and several village cadres all came out to greet them.
Qin Jian got out of the car and went forward to shake hands with the party branch secretary, "Leader, hello! We’re here to lay the electrical grid for you. The outdoor work this time is quite challenging; we might have to stay here for a while. Please arrange a place for us!"
The old party branch secretary, wearing a gray coat, had a face full of wrinkles as he smiled, "What’s the trouble? No trouble at all! Little Jianzi, I watched you grow up. Since you were young, I knew you were different from other kids. Just one look and I could tell you’d bring honor to us, certainly achieving great things. See, my judgment wasn’t bad, was it? You’ve become an engineer now."
"Secretary, you really have a way with words! Anyone can see that’s a high level of skill!" Jiang Ying chimed in cheerfully, the old party branch secretary having praised Qin Jian, indirectly complimented himself as well.
"This is..." The party branch secretary pointed at Jiang Ying and asked.
"My work partner — Jiang Ying," Qin Jian briefly introduced, "This is the old party branch secretary. I was naughty as a kid, but he never looked down on me for anything."
"You used to be naughty?" Jiang Ying blinked in surprise, not seeing it at all.
"Jiang... Engineer Jiang, hello, hello!" The party branch secretary came forward to shake hands with him.
