The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Ma'an County, located in the northwest of Hubei Province, covers a total area of ​​approximately 1247 square kilometers. It has a registered population of 32.6 but a resident population of only 18.9. Nearly half of the young and middle-aged people work outside the county year-round, resulting in severe depopulation. As a result, the county has always been considered relatively underdeveloped and is ranked last among county-level cities in Hubei Province.

Ma'an County is located in the Dabie Mountains, surrounded by mountains. There are no expressways running through the entire county, and it is a two-and-a-half-hour drive from the city center.

The county has no large-scale industry and relies solely on scattered camellia oil and Chinese medicinal herb cultivation and small-scale sand and gravel mining to maintain its finances. Its annual fiscal revenue is less than 2.3 million yuan, and it has been relying on government transfer payments from above for many years.

The city's infrastructure remains stagnant from ten years ago, with its main roads riddled with potholes and old. Of its twelve townships, seven are designated as underdeveloped by the province, and its petitioning rate and debt ratio consistently rank among the highest in the province.

This was at the Ma'an County Party Committee compound.

The walls of the old-fashioned, grayish-yellow office building are mottled, and the ground in the courtyard is covered with fallen camphor leaves that have not yet been swept away.

A Corolla smoothly drove into the yard, the door opened, and Chen Jun, dressed in a dark suit and with an upright posture, stepped down steadily.

He was filled with ambition. Starting from Jintan, from here, with the help of his father-in-law Qin Jianjun, he would skip ranks and rise to the level of a full-fledged department head and then a full-fledged minister (the level of a provincial governor or provincial party secretary) as quickly as possible.

In his plan, Ma'anshan County was just the first stepping stone for him to gain experience and prestige.

According to his father Chen Wenbin's plan, he only needed to make a strong political achievement in attracting investment in the short term, and then move to other poor county-level cities to make outstanding political achievements again.

If the higher-ups make an exception and promote him to work at the municipal level, then the most crucial first step of the plan will be completed.

If he could elevate the city to a higher level, his future promotions would be smooth sailing without any obstacles.

At the entrance of the office building, County Head Zhou Mingshan, Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee Xu Kuo, and other cadres had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Chen Jun arrive, they hurriedly went to greet him.

The two did not stand in the manner of a typical section-level cadre; instead, they both leaned forward, adopting an extremely humble posture.

The person in front of me is the son of Chen Wenbin, the governor of the neighboring Jiangnan Province. He has come to Ma'an County to make a name for himself, otherwise why would he leave Jiangnan Province?

Following Chen Jun would add a prestigious achievement to their resumes, and they might even be transferred to better places for development.

Therefore, the two were exceptionally enthusiastic towards Chen Jun.

Xu Kuo stepped forward first to shake hands, "Chen Jun, right? I am Xu Kuo, Deputy Secretary of the Ma'an County Party Committee."

"You must be tired from your journey. The conditions in Ma'an County are not good. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Chen Jun smiled and said, "Deputy Secretary Xu, you're too kind. Ma'an County has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the environment is very nice."

Zhou Mingshan shook hands and greeted him, saying, "I am Zhou Mingshan, the county magistrate of Ma'an County. Xiao Chen, I'm sure Ma'an County will undergo tremendous changes because of your arrival!"

His words were almost a direct indication.

Chen Jun smiled and nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

After delivering Chen Jun to the house he had been carrying,

The two moved to the small meeting room for the Standing Committee on the second floor.

With only three people left in the room, the atmosphere instantly became reserved and cautious.

Xu Kuo turned his head to look at Song Jingming, the county party secretary, who was sitting in the main seat, and asked in a low voice:

"Secretary Song, Comrade Chen Jun's status is special, and it might not be suitable for him to be assigned to a regular post. What do you think is the best course of action?"

Zhou Mingshan also looked at Song Jingming.

Song Jingming stroked the purple clay teacup, his eyelids half-open, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Old Xu, you haven't been working at the grassroots level long enough. Nine out of ten sons of provincial governors who are sent down to the county level are just there for a short-term 'gilding' experience, not to settle down and do real work."

"We don't know exactly how capable Chen Jun is, so we shouldn't let him get involved in things like petitions, debt, and land acquisition in the short term. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the project, we'll have to clean up his mess."

Xu Kuo frowned slightly; he understood what Song Jingming meant.

"But wouldn't it be bad to assign them to a sluggish position?"

After all, the other party has a provincial governor as his father. If the other party has connections with higher-ups and tries to trip them up, there's nothing they can do.

Zhou Mingshan looked at Song Jingming with the same puzzlement. Chen Jun's purpose in coming here was obvious. He didn't quite understand why Song Jingming disliked Chen Jun's arrival. Did he feel comfortable staying in Ma'an County, a city without even a highway?

"No, that won't do." Song Jingming put down his teacup. "Just assign him a full-time researcher position at the County Party History Research Office. That's a full-fledged section-level position, which is quite a lot of face for him."

Seeing that the two still wouldn't answer, he said something that made their eyes widen.

"Chen Jun won't be here for more than a few days, so there's no need to waste too much effort on him."

When he saw the list of people transferred by Chen Jun last night, he sent a message to his teacher in the province to ask if this was his chance.

Then the teacher told him that Chen Wenbin had offended someone, and Chen Jun would be transferred soon. The documents would arrive in a few days, and he should not get too close to him.

This is why he didn't come out to receive Chen Jun today.

He didn't want people to mistakenly think he was with Chen Jun, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Xu Kuo and Zhou Mingshan shuddered, their faces turning grim.

Knowing that Song Jingming had a mentor, and since the mentor hadn't shown up and was now acting this way, they guessed some of the inside story.

Zhou Mingshan sighed and said, "Secretary, you've thought this through very well. I'll get the job assignment done immediately."

On the other side, Chen Jun was preparing to get to work after putting down his luggage.

He approached Xu Kuo and got straight to the point: "Deputy Secretary Xu, what are the county's investment attraction plans and list of idle land parcels? Could you send me a copy? I can take the lead in attracting a number of industrial projects."

Xu Kuo was stunned for two seconds upon hearing this. Chen Jun had indeed come prepared, but unfortunately he had offended someone without realizing it.

A fleeting hint of regret crossed Xu Kuo's eyes, but he smiled and said:

"Xiao Chen, I understand the ambition of young people, but the logic of grassroots officials and provincial government agencies is completely different."

"But you need to understand the situation in Ma'an County before you can take on economic investment projects. Don't be overly ambitious; being too eager for quick results will only make you more likely to make mistakes."

Chen Jun frowned.

Xu Kuo was declining, indicating that he did not want him to interfere in Ma'an County's investment promotion plan.

Before Chen Jun could react, Xu Kuo continued, "According to Secretary Song's arrangement, you will first work as a full-time researcher in the County Party History Research Office. It contains historical records of Ma'an County. You can familiarize yourself with them first, and then wait for Secretary Song's notification before being transferred to another position."

Xu Kuo had no background and didn't want to offend Chen Jun, so he could only push Song Jingming out as a shield.

Chen Jun was a little confused about what Song Jingming was thinking. Was he afraid that Song Jingming, being young, would cause trouble? Or did he just want Song Jingming to understand the situation in Ma'an County before proceeding with investment promotion?

He took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"I understand, Deputy Secretary Xu."
