Chapter 248: Commencing the Public Election

e shop in the county town. 。However, the bakery had already closed. 。At a glance, Xiao Zheng saw on the door handle of the cake shop a blackboard notice that read "This shop's business hours: 8:00 am—...Qin Keli really called Jian Xiushui in. 。Jian Xiu's water makeup was very light, with dark drooping pants and a beige coat. Although she was already a woman of some age, her facial skin was fair and * 。When she came in, her smile wasn't exaggerated, but very warm: "Leaders, I'll bring you some osmanthus cakes." 。This is our new main dish, please give it a try. 。Saying that, she walked to the door and told the waiter outside, "Give it to me" 。A plate of steaming osmanthus cakes was just served. 。This rice cake, solidified into a crystal-clear form, with the rising steam giving an impression of coldness akin to pure ice. It is adorned with a few strands of golden osmanthus, adding a touch of appetite appeal. 。

Please try it. 。 。Although everyone had already eaten quite a bit, seeing this unique osmanthus cake, they couldn't help but pick it up with chopsticks and taste it piece by piece. 。Xiao Zheng also took a bite. It was sweet but not overly so, with a refreshing chewiness that wasn't sticky at all. This different osmanthus cake, made this way, could even improve someone's mood. 。Not bad 。This is the best osmanthus cake I've ever eaten. 。A look of joy spread across Jian Xiushui's face, as if to her, true happiness only came from customer satisfaction. 。Both Xiao Jingyu and An Ruyi had a good feeling about this woman who was a bit older than them. 。

A woman can't stand a woman who is more glamorous and intelligent than herself, but she naturally feels good towards a woman who is more plain and down-to-earth compared to herself. 。Xiao Jingyu and An Ruyi also felt a little sympathy for her, after all, whether it was Xiao Jingyu or An Ruyi, they belonged to the upper class women. Xiao Jingyu was a high-ranking official in politics, and An Ruyi was on the peak of wealth. Compared with Jian Xiushui, she had nothing, struggling at the bottom, and could only rely on her own hands to fight. 。Currently, we lack sufficient starting funds to commence a drift project. 。Consequently, both of them had the idea to help Jian Xiushui. 。An Ruyi said, "Jian Boss, I heard that you want to build a rafting project in Baishuiwan Village""Yes, I've had this idea for a while..." 。"Jianxiu Shui nodded and then smiled awkwardly, "But the startup capital is insufficient. The bank sees that I only have a small restaurant as collateral and is unwilling to give me a loan." 。"An Ruyi said: “I am willing to invest in your project. I will put in one million, but I only want 49% of the shares.”

"Jianxiu Shuidao: 'No, no, you spent so much money, how can you only have 49% You should have 51%.'" 。"An Ruyi smiled and said, "I haven't met a partner like you before! We have invested in many entrepreneurs at our hotel, they all desperately try to get their own benefits, but you gave me the controlling stake" Jian Xiu said, "I don't have money now, you have money to help me do what I want to do, I am already very grateful." 。"But, I can't just take advantage of others for free. You have 51%, and I have 49%. Do you know why I didn't take another 2% from you Because if you have controlling interest, you'll work harder." 。I invested in this project because I believe in your character. I won't interfere further, the success or failure, whether it survives or not, is all up to you. 。If you succeed with this project, there will probably be more investment opportunities coming your way in the future. But if you fail, I'm afraid that others won't dare to invest in you again. 。That means An Ruyi can afford to lose this million, but Jian Xiushui can't. 。An Ruyi is just like that, once she sets her eyes on someone, she'll boldly invest, but the responsibility and pressure are for the other person to bear. 。Jianxiu Shui also understood. She pursed her lips and nodded, saying: "Alright, I'll take An Zong's 1 million yuan and hold the 51% of the shares, but I will take on 100% of the responsibility." 。Xiao Jingyu looked at the two women, listened to what they were saying, and her heart couldn't help but get excited. She turned to Jin Jianqiang and said: "Jin Shujing, look, their drifting project, our county has exempted them from all the taxes we can exempt, and we have used all the policies that we can support for them!" Jin Jianqiang said: "I will convene departments such as finance, agriculture, and tourism to study this in detail." 。"Xiao Jingyu said: 'There are two projects leading the way, one big and one small, one hotel and one tourism. If we do well, we can also report to the city and province, showing that the industrialization of our 'Beautiful Countryside' has truly started.'" 。"

Jin Jianqiang said: “Let's raise a toast to Xiao Shujing, and wish our ‘Beautiful Countryside Construction’ even better.”" 。Before anyone could raise their glasses, Xiao Jingyu stood up and said: "Jin Shujing, what do you think about this We should each drink three cups together. The first cup is to An Zong and the others, thanking them for returning to invest in our hometown and contributing to its development." 。To the second glass, let's toast Tianhuang Town. Over this period, everyone in Tianhuang Town has worked very hard. They have persevered through difficulties and developed despite adversity. Our county has seen it all and acknowledges their efforts. Today, we raise a glass to them for their hard work. 。。Jin Jianqiang also chimed in, "I've heard from Xiao Shuji, let's raise our glasses to everyone here, one cup after another, and drink them all up!" 。The atmosphere in the private room was heating up. 。But the atmosphere was not one of drunken revelry, but of invigorated spirit, stirred by a passion for one's work. 。Xiao Zheng was also moved by today's scene. Looking at these people, he felt grateful in his heart. It was really good to have such leaders, such colleagues, and such friends. To struggle for the development of a place and for one's own growth, what else could one ask for in life!

After drinking the wine, Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Jingyu, and couldn't help but recall the words she had just said >>> 。"As long as one is willing to struggle and dare to fight, women can just as well create a career and drive social development, rather than being a puppet at the mercy of fate!" Was this said by Xiao Zheng for Xiao Jingyu's ears, or was it said for his own Xiao Jingyu was the only woman Xiao Zheng had ever saved. She had been the County Party Secretary for almost a year now, but Xiao Zheng still remained clueless about her background. 。What is her home like Why did she, as a woman, come to the county to struggle Why doesn't Xiao Jingyu go home every time he accompanies her to Hangzhou What kind of leaders are her connections And so on. 。

This is all a mystery 。Therefore, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but guess that the sentence about women being able to start a business just as well, was it said to him Just as Xiao Zheng was watching her, Xiao Jingyu inadvertently also looked at Xiao Zheng. Their eyes met, and with a touch of alcohol, for a couple of seconds, they both stayed in each other's eyes, appreciating each other. 。Xiao Jingyu suddenly felt like he understood her! Xiao Zheng then shifted his gaze away. With everyone at this table, even if he was just trying to protect her, he couldn't make people think that there was anything between him and Xiao Jingyu. 。Even suspecting their chances, they couldn't give others!

Now, for the two of them, it's a time that is too crucial. 。The days that followed flew by. 。Anhai Group's hotel projects are progressing smoothly. Land acquisition will be completed soon, and then construction will begin. 。From the doorstep of Xiao Zheng's house to the mountain, a construction road will be built. This road will also become part of the main road leading to the hotel and Bamboo Sea Scenic Area in the future. 。Xiao Zheng and An Ruyi discussed the environmental protection issues during the construction period in detail. They focused on building the construction road with high quality first to avoid dust clouding the sky and affecting the daily lives of villagers. The road was watered three times a day, morning, noon, and night. 。This cost is probably more than 10% higher than a dirt road, but it can reduce the depreciation of transport vehicles. At the same time, because of the environmental protection practices of this project, subsidies can be applied for to the environmental protection department. 。Both the county-level and city-level environmental protection departments are very welcoming of Tianhuang Town and Anhai Group's practices, after all, this can be a highlight in environmental protection work. They reported information to their superiors and publicized it to the outside world under the title "Green Construction Guarantees Green Projects," which achieved excellent publicity effects and received recognition from the leadership above. 。However, when the hotel started the pile foundation construction, a problem suddenly arose. 。For some reason, the pile just won't go down. 。Is it because the machinery isn't advanced enough, or is the rock at the top of the mountain too hardAn Hai Group's construction manager reported this situation to An Ruyi. 。An Ruyi also found it strange and reported the situation to her father, An SiFang, who was far away in Sanya, Hainan. 。An Si Fang said, this is normal, because the stones in each mountain of Tianhuang Town are very hard. 。So, the construction manager brought in a hydraulically driven powerful pile driver and a helical pile driver from out of town to work together and drive piles with full force. 。Finally got something in. 。However, that afternoon, suddenly thunder roared and lightning danced. 。Even in his office, Xiao Zheng could feel that the entire sky outside had darkened. 。How could it suddenly change like this He had checked the weather forecast and there was nothing about a thunderstorm!

Xiao Zheng looked towards the back mountain 。Green Water Village is just behind the town government's mountain. 。At the moment Xiao Zheng glanced over, two bolts of lightning suddenly began to dance wildly in the dark clouds above Green Water Village. 。One bolt of lightning, so familiar, like a winged bird. 。Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered that the day Xiao Jingyu's car was hit by landslide debris, it was also a stormy day with lightning flashing across the sky like divine birds, phoenixes >>> 。Xiao Zheng saw another bolt of lightning, but it was like a divine beast with horns and scales. 。These two lightning bolts, stretching for several kilometers, danced wildly in the air for a full ten seconds. 。Xiao Zheng saw everything clearly throughout the process, and was also shocked by this unprecedented phenomenon. 。As soon as the lightning disappeared, the dark clouds vanished in an instant. The sky returned to normal, so much so that Xiao Zheng even wondered if he had just imagined it all Fei. He said, "Thank you very much, Director Ma. I just chatted with Secretary Xiao for a while and my mouth is a bit dry." 。"The two arrived at the office, closed the door, and Ma Fei poured Yang Hu...
