Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua did not disturb Binbin and Sun Daoren. The two quietly went out and wandered around outside for more than two hours before returning.

At this time, there were far fewer patients in the clinic. Occasionally, someone would come in, but it didn't interrupt the group's conversation at all.

"I'm getting old now. Apart from my old patients, I only treat patients that Binbin can't handle. Otherwise, Binbin takes care of all the patients."

Master Sun was very satisfied with his last disciple. Practice makes perfect, and through this period of observation, Binbin was able to solve most common diseases.

Moreover, the prescriptions are very simple, inexpensive, and highly effective, which is an important reason why the clinic is becoming increasingly popular.

"You've worked hard, Daoist Master!"

Pan Lianhua knew that Sun Daoren was praising Binbin, but Sun Daoren had indeed played a stabilizing role during this period.

The clinic has an experienced doctor on staff, and even if the doctor doesn't do anything, he can still boost the confidence of many patients.

After chatting for a while, Fang Wei and his wife had a basic understanding of the situation in the urban village. Apart from a few locals, most of the residents were migrant workers renting rooms here.

They generally have low incomes and are reluctant to go to the hospital for minor illnesses, mainly because they are afraid of spending money.

The small clinic provided them with another option, so Binbin tried to use inexpensive medicinal materials as much as possible without affecting the efficacy of the treatment, which was the reason.

“Binbin is a good person. He considers everyone’s needs first, rather than putting making money first. The clinic looks like it’s doing very well right now, but it’s not actually making much money.”

Sun Daoren sighed, but at the same time felt proud of Binbin's choice.

It was time to leave work, and the residents gradually returned to the urban village. Sun Daoren and Binbin busied themselves for a while longer, until after 7 p.m. before packing up and returning home with Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua.

Time flies.

Pan Lianhua felt gratified to see that her son's clinic was gradually getting on track, and at the same time, she began to think about returning home.

She told Fang Wei her thoughts, and Fang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Lianhua, why don't you wait a few more days? I plan to go to Xiangshan to take a look, and then we'll go back to the village together."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in Guangzhou."

Although Pan Lianhua wanted to go back, she wasn't in a hurry.

So Fang Wei took Yang Feng to Fragrant Hills. Yang Feng was his assistant and would be involved in many things in the future, sharing some of Fang Wei's work.

The specific arrangements will depend on the other party's performance.

Upon arriving in Xiangshan, Fang Wei first went to the electrical appliance group and met with Zhang Wenyuan.

"Secretary, I thought you'd forgotten about me. You haven't come to see me in so long."

Zhang Wenyuan would go to the group company to report on his work every year, but Fang Wei was basically not there, so the two rarely met.

The electrical appliance group has reached new heights in recent years. Although it is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yaoling Group, it is the largest shareholder and makes a fortune every time it distributes dividends.

The key point is that the shares held in the listed company have a large premium, and the absolute number of shares has also increased significantly through methods such as bonus share issuance.

Putting aside everything else, just look at the shares of the electrical appliance group company that Fang Wei holds; their current market value is around 8000 million yuan.

"You're having such a good time in Fragrant Hills that you've brought your family here. I can't be the one visiting you every time, can I?"

Fang Wei laughed and shook hands with Zhang Wenyuan.

night.

Zhang Wenyuan and Yu Hao had a meal with Fang Wei. Since it was a private gathering, he didn't bring Yang Feng.

When the three of them eat together, they generally don't talk about work; there's a designated time for that.

"Secretary, why hasn't Fan Zhipeng been caught yet? That guy is something else, he absconded with the money and we haven't heard from him since."

As they chatted, the conversation turned to Fan Zhipeng, whom they hadn't heard from since his disappearance.

Yu Hao shook his head, hoping the other party would be brought to justice.

"Who knows? Maybe he died out there."

Zhang Wenyuan didn't take it seriously. He knew a bit about the situation abroad. Foreign countries were not paradise. If you were not careful, you could lose both your money and your life if you fled abroad.

Fang Wei didn't respond to that, and the three of them finished a bottle of wine and left the restaurant.

the next day.

Fang Wei led Yang Feng on a formal inspection tour. The first two days were spent at the electrical appliance group to learn about the situation, and later they went to Xiangyang Locks.

The electrical appliance group's development is evident to all, and its management is very standardized. The only current issue is that Zhang Wenyuan is getting older and has reached retirement age.

However, Yaoling Group has been unable to find a suitable replacement for the other party, and the other party has no intention of retiring for the time being.

Xiangyang Locks' development has been quite steady. As an industry leader, Lu Zhiwen has led the company to make steady progress, with nearly one-third of its products exported overseas.

Fang Wei is generally satisfied with the operation and management of the two companies.

Yang Feng has been very busy these past few days. His official title is assistant, but he's actually doing the work of both assistant and secretary. Fang Wei hopes he can quickly familiarize himself with his duties so he can share some of the administrative tasks. As for entering the decision-making circle, it's too early to talk about that now; let's wait until he's more experienced.

"Assistant Yang, don't go back to Yangcheng yet. Go to the Suiyang and Jianghuai bases on my behalf to conduct an inspection. Write a report for me when you return. Do you understand?"

Before leaving Fragrant Hills, Fang Wei assigned Yang Feng "homework," asking him to represent him on an inspection tour.

As Yaoling Group's business continues to expand, incidents like this are inevitable. Fang Wei's energy is also limited, and he cannot attend to everything.

"Understood, Chairman!"

Yang Feng was secretly delighted. He was afraid that Fang Weiyi would always treat him as a handyman, and he was not afraid of hard work in order to make progress.

Afterwards, Fang Wei went to Guangzhou, met up with Pan Lianhua, and then returned to the village.

On his first day back at work, the staff brought him the documents that needed processing. Fang Wei spent two days processing them, and then took a tour of the county.

The real estate projects developed by the real estate company have all been completed, and there are currently no further plans.

Small county towns have limited population capacity, and it's not yet time to encourage farmers to move to the city. Building so many houses would be difficult to sell.

However, Nanlu Garden is very famous in the county, and all the houses have been sold out, making it extremely difficult to find a house there.

Xiangyang Supermarket, located in Phase I of Nanlu Garden, continues to be a thriving business, becoming the leading commercial enterprise in Xinlin County.

The supermarket hired a large number of former transportation company employees, and initially, the company was worried about management difficulties. However, they later discovered that because the supermarket employees had excellent benefits and their income was much higher than the county's average wage, everyone cherished their jobs.

With intrinsic motivation, there is no problem of being difficult to manage.

In particular, some middle-aged people are even more energetic than young people, and they really treat customers as their bread and butter, so the service level of supermarkets is getting better and better.

This has created a virtuous cycle, and the development of Xiangyang Supermarket is quite remarkable.

Last year, Xiangyang Supermarket officially entered Chenzhou City, opening its first large supermarket outside the county. Its development over the past year has surprised many people; in such a short time, Xiangyang Supermarket has become the leading supermarket chain in the area.

However, Fang Wei was also well aware that Xiangyang Supermarket's model would be difficult to promote nationwide.

The main reason is that Xiangyang Supermarket has very low profit margins, so it offers discounts to consumers while actively improving employee benefits. This kind of business model is easily resisted by the entire industry, and rapid expansion will inevitably backfire.

The company is very familiar with the situation in Chenzhou and has unparalleled local connections, which is why it was able to withstand the pressure and open a store here.

Fang Wei then went to Yaoling Hotel, the vegetable market, and Xinlin County No. 2 Middle School. He came to No. 2 Middle School because No. 2 Middle School and Yaoling Township Middle School are co-construction units.

To put it bluntly, Yaoling Group is not only the financial backer of Yaoling Township Middle School, but also the financial backer of the No. 2 Middle School in the county.

In recent years, the teaching level of the county's No. 2 Middle School has risen sharply. Although it has not yet surpassed the county's No. 1 Middle School, it is by no means a school that can be looked down upon at will.

Many children from the cooperative attend the county's No. 2 Middle School. The funds invested by Yaoling Group can be considered as donations to support education, but they also provide certain conveniences for the children of several cooperatives.

After the inspection, it was almost noon, so Fang Wei called Wang Lin.

"Secretary Wang, do you have any other plans for lunch? If not, let's go out and have lunch together."

"Okay, let's go to Linhe Hotel then. See you later."

Wang Lin didn't know what Fang Wei had been busy with lately; in any case, the two hadn't seen each other for a while. Just then, Fang Wei called, and he agreed without hesitation.

Fang Wei hung up the phone and went to Linhe Hotel to ask for a private room, where he sat down to wait for Wang Lin's arrival.

About fifteen minutes later, Wang Lin arrived.

“Secretary Fang, I may not be able to stay in Xinlin County for long. I don’t know where I will go after that, nor do I know who will take over.”

They didn't drink alcohol at noon; they ate and chatted.

Wang Lin suddenly revealed his plans: relevant departments had spoken with him, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would leave Xinlin County after the harvest season was over.

Fang Wei had actually received this news long ago, but he did not mention it to Wang Lin.

Pang Wanxin told him this mainly to prepare him mentally, so that he wouldn't be caught off guard.

He didn't take it seriously. Given the current size of Yaoling Group, it wouldn't be detrimental to the company no matter who replaced Wang Lin. If he didn't even have that much confidence, he wouldn't have gone to Tiannan alone to solve the problem before.

Ultimately, many things still come down to ability.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! I'd like to congratulate Secretary Wang on his promotion in advance."

Fang Wei offered a few words of congratulations. Despite the other party's seemingly humble demeanor, this transfer was definitely a great thing.

"Too early to say, too early to say."

Wang Lin waved his hand with a smile, clearly knowing the inside story, but since the document hadn't been issued yet, he couldn't say anything.

The atmosphere became more harmonious afterward, and he recalled the predicament he faced when he first arrived in Xinlin County, and how quickly he had achieved success with the help of the Yaoling Group. (End of Chapter)
