With the tacit approval of the clan leader, Huang Zhiqiang and some young men from the clan stepped forward one after another!
There's something wrong with the atmosphere.
My aunt is a little uneasy. She has lived in the town for a long time. She knows very well who Huang Zhiqiang is!
The eldest brother and sister-in-law were slightly nervous and pulled Xiao Man closer.
Even Sophie subconsciously stood behind Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong's expression did not change.
Mother Zhao was also as steady as a rock. She picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The atmosphere is a little calmer.
Zhao Dong ignored everyone's gaze and said directly: "It's like this. Now I, Zhao Dong, can be considered a small success, but as a human being, I can't forget my roots!"
"Although I haven't lived in the town for a long time, my father walked out of the town."
"Including my aunt, I have been grateful for the care of you and my fellow villagers over the years!"
"I still have deep feelings for our town!"
"So this time when I come back, I'm going to invest two million to build a road in the town!"
As soon as the words fell, the crowd roared.
Some people who knew about it looked at each other in confusion, and some who didn't know about it started talking among themselves.
Building bridges and paving roads is a good thing that honors our ancestors and benefits the public!
Gradually, someone in the crowd took the lead in applauding, and soon the applause became one.
I don’t know who was the first to shout, “Brother Dong, you have the ability!”
"Dongzi, well done, you didn't forget us folks even after you became successful!"
In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere turned upside down, rapidly increasing Zhao Dong's popularity and dispelling the previous pressure!
When Zhao Li saw this, she hid in the crowd and cursed, "Just for fame and reputation!"
Huang Zhiqiang didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Dong was selling in his gourd, so he didn't dare to force himself, so he quietly winked at the boys behind him.
The younger brothers hid in the crowd and slowly retreated!
The next moment, the patriarch was the first to express his stance, and said with a warm attitude: "Xiaodong, this is a good thing!"
"On behalf of the folks in this town, thank you!"
Zhao Dong said a few polite words, then changed the topic and said: "So, you have no objection?"
The patriarch smiled and said, "What can I say?"
"I do hope that if more young people come out of our town and become prosperous outside in the future, they can be like you and come back to accumulate merit for our Zhao family!"
Zhao Dong said calmly, "Okay, then I will transfer this amount to the economic cooperative in our town in the form of a donation, and it will be used as a special fund in the future, no problem?"
The patriarch nodded frequently, "No problem, of course no problem, this is a good thing, of course I support it!"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "In that case, clan leader, please call the accountant of our cooperative. I want to check the accounts with him."
Hearing this, Zhao Li was the first to change her expression and quickly glanced at Huang Zhiqiang.
Huang Zhiqiang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with hatred to the extreme!
The patriarch didn't notice anything strange, but was stunned for a moment, "Accounts? What accounts?"
Zhao Dong explained, "With this kind of free donation, as a donor, of course I have to check the economic situation of our family to confirm whether the economy is good."
"Otherwise, how can I confirm that the money will be earmarked and not used for other purposes?"
The patriarch's face was slightly unhappy, and his smile gradually faded, but he didn't show it too obviously. "Why, Xiaodong, you can't trust me?"
Zhao Dong said sternly: "Chief, this is not a question of whether you believe it or not. I think we should follow the normal rules!"
"This is a good thing, but we must not cause any misunderstandings, what do you think?"
Zhao Dong's request was reasonable and reasonable, and the clan leader didn't say anything.
Over the years, he has been in charge of the clan's accounts, which mostly consist of public funds allocated by the clan, including the year-end income of several clan properties!
