Village chief, your township enterprise sells laser cannons?

Chapter 84 Follow the authority in emergencies!

Shortly after the proposal was sent, Chen Zhenhai called back, and his voice was filled with worry from the moment he spoke:

"Aren't you being a little too hasty? The whole process took less than a week. You need to know that candidates for village committee members, whether nominated or self-nominated, need to submit all relevant materials 15 days before election day."

"In other words, it takes 15 days just for the submission, review and election of candidate information."

"And don't even mention the subsequent public announcement."

"Given the situation in your village, it should be publicized for at least a week. To be honest, your village only has three surnames, yet you've caused more trouble than other villages with dozens of surnames. It's a real headache for me."

"Do you think I don't want to? In urgent situations, we must act expediently!" Lin Man turned to look at Mo Xiaoyan, who was still sitting on a chair outside, wailing, and lowered her voice:

"There are only two people on the village committee now: myself and the gatekeeper."

"I have to handle everything. I have to organize the study of Party conduct, coordinate with villagers, promote economic development, push for medical and educational services, carry out anti-fraud publicity, and there are also a whole bunch of documents that have been piled up from above."

"Next time the higher-ups need documents, could you, as the town mayor, tell them to figure out the DOC, DOCX, and PDF formats?"

"Make it clear what you want!"

Lin Man roared into the phone in a low voice, only to be met with two cold laughs from Chen Zhenhai: "Isn't this all your village's doing? A bunch of people from your village have been arrested, a bunch from the town have been arrested, and a bunch from the district and city have been arrested too!"

"The higher-ups started a strict investigation, which uncovered a bunch of problems, and then things got busy."

That one sentence shut Lin Man up completely, leaving him only able to cough.

After coughing twice, he spoke again: "Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, I will convene the first meeting of the election committee and the party organization meeting."

"Discuss the list of candidates for village committee and issue a formal announcement allowing self-nominations."

"Who do you think the town should send to oversee this meeting?"

"Are you sure it's 9 a.m. tomorrow?" Chen Zhenhai asked hesitantly. Lin Man on the other end of the phone noticed his hesitation and nodded, "9 a.m., about an hour to discuss it."

"Once everyone else has recommended their names, we'll issue an announcement allowing others to nominate themselves."

"Then I called everyone in the village one by one to inform them."

Upon learning that Lin Man was preparing to call everyone in Hongxing Village one by one, Chen Zhenhai's voice came through again: "It's best to inform them in person. You know the situation in your village!"

"It's okay, I'll record it!"

"Don't kid me!" Chen Zhenhai's voice sounded a little guilty. Lin Man raised his hand and patted his chest through the phone.

"Secretary Chen, don't worry. We can have fun and joke around, but I know the rule of not taking photos in a KTV. I won't record you."

"Hehe, see you tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Man checked the time and realized it was time to leave work. He took two lists from a drawer, turned and walked out of the counter to Mo Xiaoyan, who was still crying.

"Stop howling, it won't do you any good. You need to get the head of the household who is moving in to agree to accept you first, and then you need to find other people to sign."

"Instead of wasting your time howling here, you might as well go and howl to someone else."

"I have to visit the elderly living alone in the village, so I can't keep you company. If you want to cry, you can go to the gatekeeper."

With that, Lin Man took Mo Xiaoyan out the door, locked the office building door, and rode his electric scooter to visit the elderly people living alone on the list.

At the end of July, the weather in Xinhui was at its hottest.

From this point onward, typhoons also begin to arrive.

These elderly people living alone are generally around seventy or eighty years old. They are used to being frugal, and when faced with high temperatures and typhoons, they always like to use their useless frugality to cause trouble.

This situation became even more serious after their pensions were swindled by Lin Yaozu.

If they're not careful, they'll have to leave before tomorrow.

After riding his electric bike around the village for a while, Lin Man arrived at the first elderly person living alone. As soon as he entered, he saw the old man with his butt sticking out, carefully washing his hair with a stream of cold water that was barely more than a pee from the tap.

The water pressure was too low, and the old man rubbed his head for a long time but still couldn't get the foam off.

Seeing this, Lin Man's face twitched involuntarily. He walked over, turned off the tap, picked up a dry towel, and quickly rubbed the foam off the old man's head.

"Hey Uncle Wei, what are you doing now?"

Wei Qiming looked up and saw it was Lin Man. He took the towel with both hands and continued rubbing the foam off his hair: "Xiao Man! Is something the matter?"

Lin Man pointed his chin at the faucet: "You're washing your head with cold water? Don't you have a water heater at home? I can understand you using cold water, but could you please turn the faucet on a bit more?"

"With your old man sticking his butt out there, what if he slips and falls, hurting your old bones? Wouldn't your bastards be overjoyed?"

"I have no money!" Wei Qiming turned the tap on a little more, letting the tiny stream of water, barely more than urine, fall back down into the basin below.

Seeing his actions, Lin Man subconsciously turned his head to look at the water pipe in the left corner of the wall as he entered the room, where an old-fashioned water meter was hanging.

The operation of the water clock is unique to the older generation.

When the water flow is very small, the water meter will not turn.

He turned around and sneered at Wei Qiming, "I'll contact the town's water supply company tomorrow and have them come and replace the meter."

"No!" Wei Qiming quickly stopped him, "I just want to save a little money..."

"So you'll save the money for investment, right?"

When the topic of investment came up, Wei Qiming became agitated. He raised his right hand, pointing his index and middle fingers to the sky: "If I invest again, I'm a dog, may I be struck by lightning!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a thunderclap suddenly rose from the sky, which was filled with fiery red clouds, and Wei Qiming was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.

Seeing him like this, Lin Man rolled his eyes and turned the tap on full blast:

"Alright, I came to see you today because I finally got some free time after my work was sorted out. Then I remembered you old folks who live alone and then put all your money into that idiot Lin Yaozu."

"So I came to see how you are living."

"Looking at you like this..."

"How's your diet? Don't tell me you're eating plain porridge twice a day. If you're eating plain porridge twice a day, I'm going to launch an online attack on your bunch of bastards."

Wei Qiming shook his head repeatedly, "It's not that bad, it's just that the days when we could have meat every few days have changed. Anyway, rice is quite nutritious."

"Where are your bastards?" Lin Man continued to press, and when asked about his own children, Wei Qiming sighed again.

"They have it tough too. They raise their children, and now they want to start their own families, get married, and have houses. They want everything."

"I've been so busy, and I want to help them too."

"But they were cursed by Lin Yaozu. When they came back and learned what had happened, they just sighed a couple of times and went back."

"Ugh!"
