Zhang Xiaoshan directly said,
"I'm willing to lead the villagers to wealth and a better life for now, but I only want to be an acting village chief. As soon as the situation in the village clearly changes, I will step down immediately. Please understand my decision."
Upon hearing this, Ma Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"Dr. Zhang, rest assured. The policy of appointing college graduates as village officials is already being implemented. We will carefully select new staff, and someone will replace you when the time comes."
The villagers also said,
"Little Shan, we know you are capable and will someday leave our small village. We won't hold you back. As long as you help us get through the current difficulties, we will always remember your kindness."
"We all agree to your request," they said.
"Yes, we agree," they echoed.
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately felt much more relaxed and nodded as he spoke,
