Love That Extends Life

Chapter 362 The Beautiful Village Official Invites Me to Dinner

"Secretary Zhou, you are too polite. In this case, I can only follow the host's wishes. Haha..." Chu Yunhao said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chu is indeed a straightforward person! Let's set off then, and we can talk while walking." Zhou Yinuo nodded with a smile, thinking that Chu Yunhao was indeed a straightforward person.

"Okay, let's go! Well, I also want to know about the situation in Wuzhuang."

Chu Yunhao collected the documents on his desk, picked up his briefcase, and the two left the office.

The two went downstairs, and Chu Yunhao found Li Mingliang, "Brother Li, I'm going to have a meal with the village secretary of Wuzhuang to discuss work. You don't have to wait for me to have lunch."

"Okay, I got it." Li Mingliang nodded in response and continued to busy himself with his work.

Walking out of the project engineering office, Chu Yunhao wanted to drive, but when he saw Zhou Yinuo pushing her bicycle, he just stood there at a loss.

Zhou Yinuo saw Chu Yunhao fiddling with the car keys in his hand, and she smiled knowingly. "Haha, Mr. Chu, it's not far from here to the restaurant on the street, let's just walk there, this way we can exercise and be low-carbon and environmentally friendly."

"Ah... OK, let's walk!" Chu Yunhao agreed immediately. Actually, Chu Yunhao didn't want to drive, but out of courtesy he planned to drive Zhou Yinuo to the street. When Zhou Yinuo asked to walk, he immediately got up and followed.

"Hehe, my bike doesn't have a back seat, otherwise I could ride you." Zhou Yinuo turned to look at Chu Yunhao, who just smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Next time I buy a bike, I have to buy a bike with a back seat. I came here to work, and it's more convenient to ride a bike, so it became my vehicle."

"Well, if you don't want to walk too far here, riding a bicycle is really the best choice. I think I should buy a bicycle." Chu Yunhao was a little tempted. He felt that when he was in the countryside, he should also enjoy a low-carbon travel life.

When Zhou Yinuo heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Boss Chu, after dinner, I'll take you to buy a bicycle. I know the owner of the bicycle shop, and he will definitely give you a discount."

"Okay, sure." Chu Yunhao smiled and nodded. "Oh, by the way, when we're outside, Secretary Zhou, just call me Chu Yunhao."

"Okay, Chu Yunhao." Zhou Yinuo thought about it for a moment, and then she changed her name. "Well, you have to call me Zhou Yinuo, haha! Hehe, this is just like the way we get along with each other in school."

Chu Yunhao just smiled and said nothing.

"Let me introduce myself first. I live in Nanling County. I am 24 years old this year. I graduated from Ontario University of Finance and Economics. After graduation, I took the civil service examination. After passing the examination, I responded to the call and came to the countryside to be a village secretary. I also hope to give myself a good start in life and at the same time seek benefits for the people in my hometown." Zhou Yinuo began to introduce himself.

"Zhou Yinuo, I'm optimistic about you." Chu Yunhao gave Zhou Yinuo a thumbs up. There were very few young people like Zhou Yinuo who were willing to come to the countryside to work, so he admired Zhou Yinuo from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, I'm flattered to receive your praise!" Zhou Yinuo smiled happily, "But I'm still far behind you, so I have to work harder. Chu Yunhao, you've become a celebrity among us now. At the age of 203, you're already a doctoral student at Stanford University, and a military medical expert at the Institute of Natural Chinese Medicine of the rd Military Hospital. These are heights that we who go to school can't reach. So it's my honor to see our great doctoral student here in Sanli Town!"

Chu Yunhao smiled again. He didn't expect Zhou Yinuo to know him so well. "Haha, I'm just an ordinary person. I didn't expect to become a celebrity. In fact, there are always people better than you. There is no end to learning. Since we are destined to meet here, let's work hard together and make the most of our youth."

"Dr. Chu, what he said makes sense. Let's work hard together and make the most of our youth." Zhou Yinuo said happily with a slight smile on his face.

The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the dining area.

"Dr. Chu, we'll eat here!"

Zhou Yinuo parked her bicycle in front of the entrance of Li's Restaurant, and she took Chu Yunhao into the restaurant.

Li's Restaurant is not large. The dining room is less than 30 square meters and has four tables, but there are no customers eating.

As soon as the two entered the restaurant, the proprietress immediately stood up to greet them.

The lady boss found that she knew both of the two people who came in. "Oh, the beautiful secretary is here! Isn't this... isn't this Director Chu from the Project Engineering Department of the Pharmaceutical Factory?"

Zhou Yinuo turned around and looked at the proprietress and Chu Yunhao. He didn't expect that the two knew each other. "You two, know each other?"

"Yes, the meals ordered by our project engineering department are placed here." Chu Yunhao explained.

"Haha, both of you, please take a seat! I'll serve you tea, you can take your time to order your food." The proprietress said as she walked into the kitchen.

Soon the proprietress brought the teapot, and the restaurant owner followed her out happily.

The four of them chatted politely for a while, and Zhou Yinuo and Chu Yunhao ordered the dishes.

"Please sit down and enjoy your tea. I'll go and cook the dishes." The restaurant owner is also the chef in the restaurant. He greeted them and turned to go into the kitchen.

It was lunchtime, but it was quite quiet here. Chu Yunhao had just asked the restaurant owner, and just as he said, this place was not like the city, so there were few people in the small restaurant. Generally speaking, people in the countryside would choose to eat in noodle shops or snack bars. But big restaurants were also OK, and sometimes there would be wedding banquets, but small restaurants were relatively deserted.

After talking to the two of them for a few words, the proprietress tactfully sat behind the counter so as not to disturb the conversation between Chu Yunhao and Zhou Yinuo.

"How can a place develop without people? So if a place wants to develop, there must be people. Only when there are more people can the place become active and generate economic income." Zhou Yinuo took a sip of tea and became emotional at the same time.

"That's right, development must be people-oriented. As long as there are people, everything will be there." Chu Yunhao also agreed with the view that development cannot be separated from people, and he just echoed it.

"So, when you are in office, you must make achievements and let the people benefit. Sometimes I also think about promoting economic development through rural tourism activities. But we don't have tourist attractions here, so later I thought about organizing tourists to visit our villages, farmlands, orchards, etc., so that they can experience rural life and feel the charm of nature. At the same time, we will also hold some traditional rural cultural activities, such as opera performances, folk handicrafts, etc., to let tourists better understand rural culture. But these things are also very difficult to implement. As the village party secretary said, without sponsorship and support, it is impossible to achieve it even if we rely on the power of the village committee." Zhou Yinuo introduced her work plans in detail, and she seemed powerless.
