I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 254 City leaders to inspect Nanxinhu development project

"What are your thoughts? I've said it before: go to cash first and then rest," Fang Qingye said.

"I just have a feeling," Shi Guangrong said, glancing at the guests at the party. "It seems like the cotton futures market will see a major battle in the second half of the year."

"A major battle is inevitable, and it's starting now," Fang Qingye said, then patted Shi Guangrong on the shoulder: "Rest quietly for half a year, don't get involved, we'll talk about it later."

“Okay, I’ll do as you say. We’ll go fishing tomorrow,” Shi Guangrong said.

"Okay."

Fang Qingye stayed in Shanghai for a week before returning to Nanxin, only to be urged to go back by phone.

That day, he and Shi Guangrong were fishing at Xintongbo Pond in Qingpu. As usual, he put his phone on silent. When they were about to go back to the car to eat bread at noon, Fang Qingye discovered that his phone had received several calls, all from Luo Yan.

He dialed back casually, and the call was quickly answered. Luo Yan's anxious voice came through: "Chairman Fang, I finally got in touch with you. I sent someone to your nursery only to find out that you had already gone to Shanghai."

"What happened?"

"The company received a notice from the county government office that Zhang Pengyuan, the executive vice mayor of the city, will be coming to the county tomorrow morning to conduct research and to see our Nanxinhu development project."

"So early?" Fang Qingye was a little surprised. "The company isn't fully established yet, and the project hasn't even started construction. What's there to see?"

"Yes, that's what I thought too, but Director Liu from the government office said that Mayor Zhang came to attend the new car production ceremony held by BYD and wanted to visit Nanxin Lake on the way."

"Oh, then you guys hurry up and get ready." Fang Qingye said immediately, "Is the exhibition hall ready? We also need to erect an aerial view of the renovated Nanxin Lake Scenic Area by the Nanxin Lake! I told you about this beforehand."

"The exhibition hall is ready, but the exhibition boards by the lake are not yet finished. However, I sent someone to urge them to do so, and I guarantee that the exhibition boards will be erected by Nanxin Lake today!"

"That's good. We also need to explain things to Mayor Zhang and the visiting leaders. Mr. Luo, you must have received leaders during your time at Kerry Group, so this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Fang Qingye added.

"Don't worry, Chairman Fang, I will personally act as the guide."

"That's fine then, you can go ahead and get busy." Fang Qingye was about to hang up the phone; she wanted to finish her bread and continue fishing.

Luo Yan on the other end of the phone understood his meaning: "Chairman Fang, aren't you coming back?"

"You've made some good arrangements. Besides, aren't Chairman Song and President Qian still here? I won't be coming back," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

I had a great time in Shanghai these past few days. During the day, I went fishing with Shi Guangrong, and at night I went to the school to look for lotus roots. I strolled hand in hand with a girl around the campus in springtime. The spring scenery was beautiful, and the people were even more beautiful.

Of course, it would be even better if she could take it a step further before graduation, so Fang Qingye didn't really want to go back.

Luo Yan became anxious upon hearing this: "Chairman Fang, it would be fine if it were county leaders coming to inspect, but it's the executive vice mayor. How can you, as the chairman, not receive them? I just called Chairman Song and General Manager Qian, and we'll have a meeting at the company tonight to discuss the details of the reception."

"Also, I heard from Chairman Song that BYD will hold a new car production ceremony tomorrow morning, and the county has invited some business representatives, including you."

"With me?"

"Yes, the government office will definitely call you."

Sure enough, before Luo Yan finished her call, another call came in from a landline number. Judging from the area code and phone number, it was from Nanxin.

Is it really run by the government?
"Mr. Luo, the government office is calling. I'll hang up now."

Fang Qingye hung up Luo Yan's phone and then answered the landline. A young man's voice came through:

"Is this Mr. Fang Qingye, CEO of Tuofang Commerce and Technology Investment Company? Please attend the county's new car production ceremony for BYD at 9:30 tomorrow morning. The location is BYD's No. 1 assembly workshop in the New Energy Vehicle Industrial Park. Please come to the county government compound at 8:30 and we will take a bus together."

It really is.
"Okay, I'll be there on time."

"There's another matter. Mayor Zhang from the city will be inspecting the Nanxinhu development project. We have already notified General Manager Luo of Huacheng Development Company. County Chief Hu said that you must make proper arrangements to welcome him."

"We are preparing, and there will absolutely be no problems."

After Fang Qingye hung up the phone, Shi Guangrong, who was next to her, asked, "What's wrong?" "Yes, I developed a project in our county, and city leaders are coming to inspect it, so I have to rush back," Fang Qingye said.

"What project?"

"Develop Nanxin Lake," Fang Qingye said simply.

"Sure, Aoba, you're in real estate, you're all local big shots. Let's head back now."

Since that was the case, Fang Qingye didn't delay any longer. She packed up her fishing gear, took a car back to the city, and first called Bai Ou to tell her that she had to hurry back to Nanxin.

"Bai Ou, after the World Expo opens, I'll take you to visit the Expo Park," Fang Qingye said on the phone.

"Okay, but Yezi, you should still worry about Nanxin's affairs. I'll keep an eye on things in Shencheng for you and make sure those job applicants are sent to work at the company on time."

"Okay, come back this weekend."

"Okay, go see your grandparents, bye-bye."

Fang Qingye returned to the city, checked out of his room, and then drove straight to Nanxin. He arrived back in the county town around 4 p.m. Instead of going home, he drove to the shore of Nanxin Lake to see if the exhibition board he had mentioned had actually been erected.

Upon arriving at the lakeside, I could see a group of people busy at work, and a crane lifting a huge exhibition board while workers were installing it.

Hmm, not bad.

Luo Yan's execution ability is decent; she didn't ignore what I said.

Fang Qingye parked her car by the roadside and walked over, only to find a familiar young man in the crowd—Wang Yu.

At this moment, Wang Yu no longer had long hair; he had a buzz cut and was wearing a blue suit made by Huacheng Company. He looked much more energetic.

Wang Yu also saw Fang Qingye walking over and quickly came up to greet her: "Boss."

"Aren't you in finance? Why are you working as a supervisor by the lake?" Fang Qingye asked curiously.

“Boss, Ms. Luo didn’t ask me to do finance work. She said she would let me rotate through several important departments in the company for a year, and then go back to the finance department. I’m currently in the administration department.”

Um.
Luo Yan's idea is good.

Of course, I hope that future employees of Topway Technology will be versatile, not just good at accounting.

Just then, a black Audi sped up and stopped by the roadside. A woman hurriedly got out of the car; it was Luo Yan.

"Chairman Fang, you're finally back." Luo Yan smiled when she saw Fang Qingye.

Fang Qingye was a little embarrassed, but quickly changed the subject: "Why did you come here too?"

"I just received another call from the government office, saying that after Mayor Zhang attends the new car ceremony of BYD tomorrow morning, he will not go to our company's exhibition hall, but will come directly to the lakeside, so I want to come and see the display board."

Fang Qingye nodded, then suddenly thought of another question: "Brochures! Have you prepared brochures for the development of Nanxin Lake? We need to prepare one for each of the leaders who come to inspect."

"The samples are ready and have already been sent to the printing factory," Luo Yan said, then suddenly turned to Wang Yu beside her and said:

"Wang Yu, get in my car and head straight to Wensheng Printing Company. Find their Manager Zhang and make sure all the printing is finished and delivered to the company tonight!"

"Okay, Mr. Luo," Wang Yu said, and jogged towards the Audi.

Watching Wang Yu's departing figure, Luo Yan smiled and said to Fang Qingye, "I heard you say that the young man your Tuofang Technology hired likes to play games online, so I intentionally had him run errands and do some work, so he wouldn't just sit there all day, Chairman Fang. You won't blame me, will you?"

"how come?"
