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

Chapter 388 "If I don't show you some tough love, you really think I'm easy to bully?!"

That's it!

Fang Qingye sighed softly after hearing this: "Then you must have had a hard time in town."

"Yes," Liu Dong said with a wry smile, "but since we're already here, it's impossible to transfer us away anytime soon, so we can only endure it and keep working."

Fang Qingye paused for a moment before saying, "I can't help you with this. After all, I'm not in the system. Even though I have a good personal relationship with Miao Hongbin, I can't just tell him about what's going on with you."

“I know. It’s nice to talk about this topic. Not to mention you, I can’t report directly to County Chief Miao either, there are too many levels of hierarchy involved. I only have a chance if he comes to our town to inspect the work.”

Fang Qingye nodded after hearing this.

The couple walked around the nursery path for a long time before returning to the pavilion. They sat there for a while and then left.

Fang Qingye and Bai Ou saw them off at the gate and then returned to the nursery.

"Ye Zi, Bi Huanhuan has been transferred to another job," Bai Ou said as she walked.

Which department?

"Archives Bureau".

“Compared to the government office, that’s a relatively obscure unit,” Fang Qingye said.

"But it's less work and more leisurely. When the children are born, I'll have time to take care of their little family, which will allow Liu Dong to work in the countryside with peace of mind."

"Bi Huanhuan is really willing to do this. She's practically giving up her own career to fully support Liu Dong," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Yes, that's what she said too. She said that couples like them, both working in government departments, always have to sacrifice one of them, otherwise there will be problems with the children's education. Grandparents are mostly spoiling their grandchildren and can't educate them well."

Fang Qingye nodded after hearing this.

Jinghai, and indeed the entire Jiangsu province, places great importance on children's education, resulting in a very competitive environment.

"Liu Dong is having some trouble at work," Fang Qingye told Bai Ou about her conversation with Liu Dong.

Bai Ou felt some sympathy upon hearing this: "Then Liu Dong's life is rather difficult. After Minister Wang, who valued him highly, was transferred, there are no county-level leaders who are close to him. Bi Huanhuan's father has now retired to the second line, so everything depends on him."

“Yes, he came to the nursery with Bi Huanhuan this time, probably also to ask me for help,” Fang Qingye said.

“But you’re not in the system.” Bai Ou was a little anxious: “Although you and Miao Hongbin have a good personal relationship, it’s taboo for you to interfere when it comes to internal government work, unless Miao Hongbin asks you directly.”

"So I told him honestly, and he understood," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Alright, let's not think about this anymore. Watch me plant orchids." Bai Ou took Fang Qingye's hand and walked towards the greenhouse.

Fang Qingye didn't take the matter to heart; recently he's been busy with something else.

After a year and a half of construction, the renovation project of Nanxin Lake was successfully completed and passed inspection. The new Nanxin Lake Park was established, which is the largest park in Nanxin County. To celebrate this, the county decided to hold a grand opening ceremony to celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Not only county leaders, but also city government leaders will be invited to attend the ceremony.

The county attaches great importance to this, and has set up a special team and held a meeting to arrange the opening ceremony on that day. Fang Qingye, chairman of Huacheng Development Company, the developer of Nanxinhu Park, and Luo Yan, general manager, will also attend.

The meeting was held in the conference room on the fourth floor of the county magistrate's building. Miao Hongbin presided over the meeting and made detailed arrangements for the tasks of each group of the special task force. The public security, traffic police, fire department, health, culture and tourism, publicity, and government office departments each performed their respective duties.

Huacheng Company's main task is to do a good job in the overall decoration of the park and highlight the festive atmosphere.

In fact, Fang Qingye didn't need to worry about this at all. Luo Yan arranged for someone to contact a company in Shanghai called Huadeng Festival Decorations for professional design. The plan had already been prepared and submitted. After being reviewed and approved by the special team, it was implemented immediately.

So Fang Qingye's attendance at the meeting today was just for show; Luo Yan was handling the actual matters.

After the meeting, everyone went back to their respective offices. Fang Qingye and Luo Yan left the conference room together, but were stopped by Miao Hongbin. "President Fang, wait a moment, I have something to attend to."

Originally, he was supposed to go back to the company with Luo Yan for a meeting to assign tasks, but when he heard Miao Hongbin calling him, he told Luo Yan to go back first, and the meeting was postponed.

Fang Qingye followed Miao Hongbin to his office on the third floor, where Miao Hongbin said, "Qingye, let's chat for a bit. What's your classmate Liu Dong like?"

“He and I were classmates in junior high and high school. He’s a really nice guy, and he’s been very hardworking since he started working,” Fang Qingye explained, then asked, “What happened?”

"The town's Party Secretary Gao and Mayor Wu didn't have a good impression of him, and the most crucial thing was that he couldn't get the tasks assigned to him!"

That's it!

Fang Qingye tentatively asked, "Is it about Baipu Town's application to become a provincial-level historical and cultural town? When I was chatting with Liu Dong, he mentioned that he's been busy with this recently, mainly responsible for the environmental improvement work around historical sites."

"Regarding this matter, the demolition of illegal buildings around Guagong Lane is still not completed. Their work efficiency is really lacking," Miao Hongbin said.

Fang Qingye hesitated for a moment before saying, "County Chief Miao mentioned some of the difficulties and problems we face in this work during a casual chat."

"County Chief Miao, these are just things we were chatting about, said by Liu Dong. Of course, it's only his side of the story, and I don't know the specifics. This is just for your reference."

Fang Qingye concluded.

Miao Hongbin fell silent for a moment before saying, "Okay, I understand."

"Alright, I'll head back to the company first. We still have a meeting to convey the spirit of today's meeting," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Alright, then go ahead. Qingye, make sure you do this perfectly, bringing honor to your company and the county!"

"County Chief Miao, rest assured, I will definitely handle it well."

Fang Qingye left the office, went downstairs, drove her car to the company, and put on her Bluetooth headset to dial Liu Dong's phone number on the way.

The call was answered after a while, and there was a lot of noise coming from the other end; it sounded like Liu Dong was outside.

"Ye Zi, is something the matter?"

"Is it convenient to talk?"

"Wait, I'm going to find a quiet place, it's so noisy."

After another minute or so, it became much quieter on the other end of the phone. Liu Dong said, "It's all right now, what's up?"

“I was in a meeting in the county today, discussing preparations for the opening ceremony of Nanxinhu Park. After the meeting, County Chief Miao called him to his room and talked to him about your matter.”

Fang Qingye then told Liu Dong the whole story of their conversation.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Dong paused for a moment before saying, "It's good that County Chief Miao knows the inside story; he really thinks I'm not doing anything. But I've resolved this matter!"

"solved?"

"Is everything alright?" Fang Qingye asked hurriedly.

"no!"

"That's good. You should also take care of your personal safety!" Fang Qingye reminded her.

"Okay, I know, bye-bye."
