That afternoon, Zhao Tienan returned to Fengshan Village.

After all the running around, he had quite a fruitful harvest.

With fifty thousand yuan in the account, his financial pressure was significantly relieved.

Not only that, but Zhao Tienan also did a good deed, persuading Xing Zhaolin to fund seven or eight impoverished households, reducing Fengshan Village's poverty rate by several percentage points.

Admittedly, Xing Zhaolin made his fortune through improper means.

But instead of completely bringing him down, it was better to have him bring out the money to benefit others.

Sometimes, ways of handling things aren't strictly black and white; what's most important is weighing the pros and cons; after all, that's how adults do it.

"You guys rest here at the health clinic, I'll go out for a bit."

After settling Cao Lei and Xie Xin, Zhao Tienan turned and went to the barbershop.

After all, it had been in progress for a while, and he still needed to check the renovation progress, and ask if any materials were needed, so they could be purchased in time without delaying the project.

"Hey, Doctor Zhao is here! The renovation is going smoothly; it shouldn't be long before it opens for business."

The renovation worker stopped what he was doing and handed Zhao Tienan a cigarette, speaking very boldly.

"Hmm, thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Tienan glanced around and found that the attention to detail was quite good, with no signs of cutting corners, estimating that it would be done in about a week.

At that moment, a hunched figure passed by the doorway.

"Village Chief!"

Zhao Tienan immediately greeted him.

"Oh, Doctor Zhao, what a coincidence."

"What brings you here to check on the renovation?"

"It's really thanks to you; otherwise, who knows when Sun Xiaowen's barbershop could open."

The village chief stopped, coughing several times, speaking with a weak voice.

"Well, since I promised to get things done right, I definitely can't drop the ball."

"By the way, Village Chief, you seem to be in poor health, it's best not to be so busy lately."

Zhao Tienan spoke with a somewhat grave tone.

"Hmm, I know."

"I've already submitted my resignation letter, and it's under review. It shouldn't be long before I can retire."

The old village chief sighed weakly.

"Village Chief, once you retire, who will take your place?"

Zhao Tienan nodded and asked slowly.

"I'm not quite sure, but I think there will be a vote held. If Doctor Zhao is interested, you can also sign up. I think you're a good person, not only kind-hearted but also quick-witted."

The village chief forced a weak smile, looking at Zhao Tienan with eyes full of admiration.

"Forget it, I don't have the fortune to be an official. By the way, what is your son Song Nan busy with? Is his injury healed?"

Zhao Tienan had no interest in becoming the village chief, so he immediately changed the topic.

"He's fine now, just can't have kids. He's planning to sign up for the election and has been busy campaigning lately."

The mention of this made the village chief sigh deeply, visibly worried.

"Oh? Song Nan is planning to succeed you? Interesting!"

Hearing this news, Zhao Tienan almost burst out laughing. Unexpectedly, Song Nan, despite being damaged, seems to have grown more ambitious...
