rebirth against the times

In the evening, in the largest hotel in the town, the leaders of various villages and villages held a banquet and gathering here. In the past few days, everyone has basically dealt with the related issues after the fall of the La'an forces. Now Zhou Huairen relies on his own betrayal and

The good relationships established between the leaders of various forces have basically given them the top spot in La'an Town.

Among the La'an forces, those who were not convinced had to temporarily seek refuge under Zhou Huairen's banner because they were afraid of being liquidated and retaliated by various forces. As for other people in the La'an forces, they either died or were arrested in the police raid.

, but disappeared under the attack of various forces.

Although Zhou Huairen took control of La'an, La'an no longer has the strength it once had. Especially after the police crackdown, the overseas forces that La'an relied on the most have been lost, making La'an no different from other ordinary village forces.

.

At today's party, the main backbones of all parties were present, and thirty tables were set up in the hotel. Bai Shuo was also invited by Xue Yanming and brought Zhong Pengcheng, Cao An, Li Fei, and Xiao Lin to the banquet.

Many people know that Bai Shuo and the others had previously broken into the mountains and had a conflict with foreign forces, and almost lost their lives. The fact that the police were able to rescue them so quickly also has a certain relationship with Bai Shuo and Xiao Lin, so it seems to them that

Extraordinary enthusiasm and respect.

According to the agreement made a few days ago, from now on, the eight towns, seventeen villages, and twenty-nine villages in Huai'an and Qinzhou counties will unite to form a civil alliance organization that will be responsible for coordinating the peaceful coexistence of all forces in the future and

Make decisions on some major issues and safeguard the interests of the people in the region.

After discussion, the organization was named "Village People's Association" with the intention of uniting the villagers and protecting the village. Leaders of each town, village, and village will join this organization, with 81 leaders, 36 affairs directors, and deputy directors.

There are 4 presidents and 1 president. Daily affairs in the meeting are handled by the president and vice-president together. If there are matters that need to be discussed together, they will be discussed by the chief executive meeting. If major interest issues are involved, a leader meeting is required.

The meeting makes a joint decision.

At the same time, in order to give the Township People's Association substantial authority, some capable forces from each town, village, and village were drawn into the association to take charge of daily work. It was also stipulated that each town, village, and village would no longer be able to retain force in private in the future.

Any conflicts and dissatisfactions will be coordinated and adjudicated by the Township People's Association.

Today's gathering is the formal establishment of the Villagers Association, and the candidates for the vice president and president will also be elected. It is said to be a selection, but in fact everyone already knows that the five seats are Nan'an, Huai'an, and Xiantang based on their strength.

You can't run away by talking. As for La'an Town, although its strength has been greatly reduced this time, its prestige is still there. In addition, Zhou Huairen has made great contributions this time, so he also occupies one seat. As for the other seat, it is occupied by the one next to him.

From Nan'an Town, he has a good relationship with Xue Yanming from Shitou Village.

Due to the decline of La'an's power, Nan'an Town has become the strongest. In addition, Xue Yanming's previous performance has been recognized and respected by everyone. There are 120 leaders and chief ministers of the Villagers Association.

Among the twelve seats, Nan'an Town actually occupied 8 seats, and Xue Yanming was elected as the first president.

After everything was arranged, everyone invited the president Xue Yanming to come to the stage to deliver a speech and announce the opening of the banquet.

Xue Yanming walked to the restaurant stage with a bowl of wine, glanced around, and said in a strong voice: "I am not qualified to be the president of this club."

This sentence shocked everyone in the audience. After a while, someone asked loudly: "Boss Xue, if you are not the right president, no one will be able to be the president."

"yes……"

"Boss Xue can only be the president of this guild!"

"Why can't it be done?"

…

Xue Yanming asked everyone to quiet down and said: "We villagers, sometimes fighting and sometimes helping each other, can be said to have been in love with each other for hundreds of years. To outsiders, we are just a family.

It's an exaggeration, but we have never really become a family. What we did in La'an this time is indeed unkind, and colluding with foreigners is even more unjustifiable, but when it comes to the original intention, we also want to truly bring our eight towns and ten towns together.

Seven villages and twenty-nine villages merge together..."

These words made everyone think. Xue Yanming did not rush to continue, but asked everyone to think carefully before continuing: "They say we are xenophobic and aggressive, but why are we xenophobic?

Why are you so aggressive? No one is born with the love of fighting and killing. I know that the reason for xenophobia is because those foreigners are too shrewd and calculating. When they come to do business with us, everyone always feels that they are being disadvantaged and deceived. But we ourselves are aggressive because we are so aggressive.

Because for a long time we have not been able to trust the government or the law, and have been accustomed to resolving grievances in our own way. But over the years, has our xenophobia made us richer, or has internal fighting really made everyone angry, and life has been peaceful.

?”

At this time, everyone in the venue began to whisper among themselves, as if they were touched by Xue Yanming's words.

Xue Yanming: "Now that the Villagers Association has been established, just like La'an before, it is also to truly unite everyone. However, if everyone continues to be the same as before, the outcome of this Villagers Association will not be better than that of La'an.

How much stronger, but if I sit here as the president today, it will be the same as being roasted on a fire by you..."

At this point, the people below were already in a frenzy, and the discussion became even noisier.

After a while, an elder-like man tried his best to call everyone to quiet down, and said loudly to Xue Yanming on the stage: "Now everyone has just experienced a disaster, and we urgently need someone who can convince the crowd to step forward.

In charge of the overall situation, I hope President Xue won’t worry too much..."

The old man's words resonated with everyone, and they all expressed their support for Xue Yanming to be the president.

Xue Yanming thought for a while and said loudly to everyone: "If you want me to be the president of the president, I, Xue Yanming, am not a shy person. I am willing to do my best to help our eight towns, seventeen villages, and twenty-nine villages."

A good way. It’s just..."

"Boss Xue, stop being just. If you have anything to say, just say it. We will all listen to you..."

"Boss Xue, as long as you are willing to be the president, we will definitely support you..."

"We all sincerely recommend you to be the president. Boss Xue, please don't worry too much..."

"..."

Xue Yanming said again: "I can trust everyone's sincerity. However, I have two conditions. I hope everyone can agree to it, otherwise I will not be able to be the president of the president no matter what."

At this time, Bai Shuo in the audience smiled slightly and said to Xue Manlin: "Your dad's methods are really clever. It's wonderful to use retreat to advance."

Xue Manlin smiled knowingly: "I don't understand these things, but I know that my dad is indeed very powerful, so everyone in the town is convinced by him."

Cao An also praised: "President Xue's skills are not ordinary. It's a pity. If he were outside or engaged in politics, he would probably be an outstanding politician, haha..."

After receiving continuous responses from everyone, Xue Yanming slowly said: "Well, I have said it before, but I hope to get everyone's commitment again, that is, from now on, we will have eight towns, seventeen villages, and twenty-nine villages.

All grievances and disputes must be subject to the ruling of the villagers' association. Private revenge is not allowed, let alone conflicts or even armed fights between villages, villages and villages. Of course, I also promise that things will be handled fairly and justly.

, never engage in malpractice for personal gain.”

"Okay, as long as the villagers can make a fair decision, we are not willing to fight and bleed."

"I agree, as the saying goes, we were a family hundreds of years ago, why do we have to fight and kill each other..."

"agree……"

…

"Okay, the second condition..." Xue Yanming continued: "I just hope that everyone will stop being xenophobic in the future and must try to live in harmony with outsiders. I also hope that everyone will go out and have a look..."

Before he finished speaking, the crowd started to become noisy again. Many people didn't seem to understand what Xue Yanming meant. In everyone's mind, the people in the eight towns, seventeen villages, and twenty-nine villages were considered a family. Stop talking.

Fighting is also in line with everyone's wishes. But everyone doesn't quite understand why they are so polite to outsiders. After all, since hundreds of years ago, our ancestors settled down in this multi-ethnic area, and they have been accustomed to living behind closed doors.

We are on a par with the outside world, or even have no contact with each other. Now we have to break this boundary and accept outsiders, and everyone feels really uncomfortable.

Xue Yanming knew that everyone would not understand for a while, so he said earnestly: "Today is different from the past. Look at Laliang Town. Because of its strategic location and frequent trade exchanges, it is inevitable that you have to deal with outsiders more. Recently.

Although I heard that I was cheated by outsiders in the spice business, in general, this place is much richer than other villages and the living conditions of the people are much better. Look at Huai'an Town again,

I know some of you look down on them and think they are becoming less and less pure, but their changes over the years are obvious to all. We want everyone to live a better life, not close the door to ourselves.

Come and live a poor and miserable life with peace of mind..."

After Xue Yanming's words, everyone gradually began to think quietly. Many people from La'an Town and Huai'an Town also expressed great support for Xue Yanming's affirmation.

"Besides, not all of those outsiders are bad people with ulterior motives. There are also many who help us wholeheartedly, such as the Bai Shuo brothers among you. For example, the people who helped Laliang Town overcome the difficulties this time are also outsiders.

?"

After a slight pause, Xue Yanming exchanged glances with everyone again before continuing: "It has been 30 years since our country's reform and opening up, and huge changes are happening everywhere. You can go out and see more. What's going on outside?

What the world is like, there are many things that we may have never seen in our lives, or even cannot imagine. I hope at least that our next generation will not be like us, knowing nothing, knowing nothing, and only knowing how to live.

A life of poverty, fighting and killing..."

In the end, Xue Yanming convinced everyone and won their support. However, Xue Yanming knew that this had only achieved the initial goal. It would still take a long process for many things to be really promoted. Especially to change everyone's innermost feelings.

The idea of ​​​​dealing with others still requires extraordinary methods, and the road ahead will still be very difficult.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Xue Yanming successfully took office as the first president of the Township People's Association. Bai Shuo did not expect that after this turmoil, Xue Yanming would not only be safe, but he would become the final leader of the Nan'an Town.

winner.

However, Bai Shuo knew that many of the unanimous cheers came from the heart, but some were just in line with current events. Xue Yanming still needs a lot of help if he wants to truly secure this position. Of course, Bai Shuo does not

I don’t mind pushing Xue Yanming with my own strength. After all, Xue Yanming’s ideas are in line with his needs, and his plans are inseparable from Xue Yanming’s support. The more stable his position is, the faster his plans can achieve results.

.

In addition to the investment plan, Bai Shuo has even considered organizing some assistance actions to let people here feel care from the outside world and promote exchanges and integration. In addition, he is also planning to start from the children and let the Jinmiao Charity Fund provide some student funds.

, so that the children here can go out to study, or you can recruit some people for free to go to your own schools or vocational and technical colleges to learn skills. The best way to change is to let them see the outside world and adapt to outside life.

.

Seeing Xue Yanming finish his speech and start toasting with a bowl, Bai Shuo also picked up the wine glass and prepared to step forward to express his respect to Xue Yanming and several vice presidents.

But before he could get close, a fat man hurriedly walked in from outside the restaurant, rushed in front of Xue Yanming and several vice presidents, and said with a humble face: "Oh, Boss Xue, several presidents,

Some things have been delayed, it's late, it's late."

The corners of Bai Shuo's eyes twitched suddenly. Isn't this Xie Ning? I didn't expect him to be here too, and he seemed to be very familiar with everyone.

At this time, two beauties, Xiao Min and Xiao Na, slowly followed Xie Ning and brought many things.

"Boss, these are some gifts I have prepared for you. I don't know if you like it or not, but please accept it, haha..." After saying that, Xie Ning took the things from the hands of the two beauties and gave them to several presidents.

Everyone was given a portion.

"Thank you, boss, the things you gave me must be good things..."

"Boss Xie is so polite. You are our benefactor in La'an Town. How can I have the nerve to let you spend money, haha..."

"Boss Xie is really thoughtful..."

Xie Ning asked the two beauties to give the remaining gifts to several other leaders and presidents, who seemed to be familiar with him. He took the opportunity to chat with several presidents.

Bai Shuo couldn't help but be a little surprised when he found that Xue Yanming was also very polite to Xie Ning, and even showed some affection.

At this moment, Xie Ning ended his conversation with several presidents, slowly turned around, and met Bai Shuo's eyes.

Xie Ning suddenly seemed to have met an old friend. He smiled happily and greeted him excitedly: "Oh, Boss Bai, it's great to see you again..."
