762: Chapter 760: People from the County 762: Chapter 760: People from the County When passing by the entrance of the village departnt, Chen Yang noticed that many official cars were parked nearby.
Among them, a few were familiar; they were Director Wang’s cars from yesterday.
Seeing these cars, and recalling the slightly unhappy tone of Kexin earlier, Chen Yang frowned slightly.
“Could it be that there is so problem with the school construction?”
Chen Yang began to feel worried inside, but he did not stop, instead walking directly into the village departnt and then up the stairs to the second floor, to Kexin’s office.
Kexin’s office was quite spacious.
But at this ti, it was sowhat crowded.
Because many people were standing inside.
So faces were familiar, and so were strangers.
Chen Yang walked through them to the far end, where he saw Kexin and Director Wang having a discussion with an elderly man with slightly graying hair and a bit of an official aura.
When Kexin saw Chen Yang, she imdiately stopped talking and turned to greet Chen Yang.
“Chen Yang, you’ve arrived.”
Hearing this, Director Wang and the dignified elderly man imdiately turned their heads to look at Chen Yang, and suddenly all eyes were on him.
Chen Yang was sowhat puzzled about what was happening in the office, but he knew it definitely had sothing to do with the school.
“Hmm, Village Chief, what’s the situation?” Chen Yang nodded slightly, then proactively asked about the matter.
“Chen Yang, have a seat first, this matter is a bit complicated, let’s sit down and talk,” Kexin pointed to a sofa next to Chen Yang and said.
“Yes, Chen Yang, please sit down, the matter is quite complicated,” Director Wang also nodded and said.
Hearing this, Chen Yang glanced at Director Wang.
He noticed that Director Wang’s expression was also not very pleasant, sharing the sa mood as Kexin.
“Alright,” Chen Yang nodded slightly and then sat down on the nearby sofa.
After Chen Yang sat down, Kexin introduced the identity of the elderly man to him.
“Chen Yang, this is Director Yan from the county education office.”
After saying this, she looked towards Director Yan to introduce Chen Yang.
But before Kexin could speak, Director Yan smiled and raised his hand, indicating that there was no need for an introduction.
“I surmise this must be the promising young man of Liuhé Village, Mr.
Chen Yang?
I didn’t expect Mr.
Chen to be so young,” Director Yan said with a smile while looking at Chen Yang.
Although Chen Yang had a feeling that Kexin and Director Wang’s unhappiness was related to Director Yan,
but before figuring out the matter, he still politely replied with a smile: “Haha, I wouldn’t say promising young man, just a bit of accomplishnt.”
“To be able to donate tens of millions at once to build a school for the hotown, that’s no small achievent, Mr.
Chen you are too modest,” Director Yan continued with the pleasantries.
Chen Yang just chuckled a few tis and made light of it with so modest words.
After the pleasantries, Director Yan didn’t beat around the bush and directly started talking about the business at hand.
“Mr.
Chen, actually today I ca to discuss with you about the school construction project you are planning.”
Indeed, there was a problem with the school matter.
The guess was not wrong at all.
Having been prepared in his mind, Chen Yang was not surprised at all: “Oh?
Director Yan, do you have any opinions on this matter?”
“Hmm, I do have so thoughts on this matter, so I wanted to discuss it with you, Mr.
Chen,” Director Yan said with a smile, nodding.
“Sure, let’s hear what Director Yan has to say, so I can also consider different opinions,” Chen Yang said very politely.
Seeing that Chen Yang had said this, Director Yan stopped beating around the bush, and directly expressed his views and suggestions on the matter.
“Mr.
Chen, actually my purpose in coming here is simple, to persuade you to relocate the school you are planning to build, to the county town instead,” Director Yan stated straightforwardly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang instantly understood why Wu Kexin and Director Wang were unhappy.
Not just them, even he himself showed a noticeable change in expression upon hearing this.
However, given Director Yan’s special identity, he restrained himself a little and didn’t show too obvious a reaction.
Seeing that Director Yan seed to have reasons he wanted to share, Chen Yang didn’t imdiately refute with impossibilities but decided to wait until he finished speaking to express his views.
“Why?” Chen Yang asked, suppressing his displeasure.
Director Yan had his reasons ready, so as soon as Chen Yang asked, he imdiately laid out a whole array of them.
It was a lot to take in, and Chen Yang found it sowhat confusing.
But he understood most of it.
In summary, it was this: There’s no need to build such a good school in the countryside; the best schools should be built in the county town to benefit more people.
After listening to all this, although Chen Yang was still sowhat reluctant, he could sowhat understand Director Yan’s perspective.
After all, he represented the county and naturally would speak for its interests.
Moreover, from a normal perspective, that viewpoint wasn’t wrong.
Building such a heavily invested school in the mountains really wasn’t necessary, and lacked the practicality of building it in the county town.
But Chen Yang had his own plans, and Willow River Village wouldn’t always just be a small mountain village; it had great developnt potential in the future!
“Hehe, Director Yan, I understand your point, but the location of this school was decided after thorough consideration,”
“Don’t look at Willow River Village as just a small village now; it will definitely see significant developnt later, so I think building a school here is quite necessary.”
Chen Yang replied politely with a smile, stating his viewpoint.
However, Director Yan didn’t acknowledge his perspective at all.
“Mr.
Chen, I know that Willow River Village has seen so noticeable improvent and developnt recently, but this doesn’t an that it will transform drastically in the future,”
“Moreover, have you considered the transportation and the student sources near Willow River Village?
If you invest in building a high-standard school and sothing goes wrong, what then?”
“So, I advise you to think it over carefully.
Building the school in the county town would utilize it to its fullest potential.”
Director Yan spoke at length, all to express his own opinion.
After finishing, he added, “I know that Mr.
Chen, being from Willow River Village, has deep feelings for the village and wants to bring benefits to everyone, but I think this isn’t the best thod and actually the greatest waste.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was instantly annoyed.
He had donated tens of millions to build a school for Willow River Village, and it was being called a waste?
Chen Yang was irritated, but he still didn’t erupt in anger.
Given Director Yan’s special status, it was better not to burn bridges unless absolutely necessary.
“Hehe, then Director Yan, what do you think is the best thod?” Chen Yang asked coldly, with a sneer.
Director Yan, seemingly oblivious to Chen Yang’s displeasure or ignoring it,
when Chen Yang asked in a cold tone, he unhesitatingly answered: “It’s simple, just build the school in the county town, and I’ll work out a way to secure so funding for a smaller school in Willow River Village.
That would be the most reasonable and appropriate solution.”
