Fang Zhicheng slowed down his pace, then took Qi Yun for a short run around, and finally stopped beside a bench in a nearby park.

Seeing Qi Yun sweating profusely, and the soft hair on her snow-white skin was wet, Fang Zhicheng took out the towel he usually carried with him and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Qi, can you wipe your face? It's clean, I haven't used it before!"

Qi Yun was slightly stunned, but she didn't refuse in the end. She wiped it on her face and found that there was no peculiar smell, but instead a faint scent of soap. She thought to herself that Fang Zhicheng was not sloppy.

While Qi Yun was wiping her sweat, Fang Zhicheng glanced at the sky not far away. He saw colorful lights all over the sky. He sighed and said, "The environment in Dongtai is good. You can't see such a beautiful morning in Yinzhou."

Qi Yun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Last time Secretary Song called Secretary Qian and asked him to stop attracting heavily polluting enterprises. Was it you who reported him?"

Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, and told him the truth: "The economy needs to develop, but the premise is that the environment cannot be polluted. Secretary Qian is too hasty and is attracting all kinds of enterprises to Dongtai. This is not right. In this regard, we have the same view."

Fang Zhicheng's views now were completely different from those of last night, which surprised Qi Yun. She asked curiously, "Your views are a bit contradictory. You wanted to strike while the iron was hot yesterday..."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Strike while the iron is hot is an attitude, and select the best is a responsibility. We pay attention to our political achievements, but we should also pay attention to our responsibility to the people of Dongtai."

Qi Yun looked at Fang Zhicheng seriously and said softly, "You do have a strong sense of justice."

Speed and quality are contradictory, and they are also issues that must be resolved when attracting investment. However, many local governments have not taken this into consideration, resulting in a distorted economic structure. The economy has improved, but the environment has been damaged, affecting the survival of the people.

After work, Fang Zhicheng received a phone call from Qi Yun, informing him that news had come from the city that a delegation from the Qi Group would come to Dongtai County for on-site research in two days, and that provincial leaders would be accompanying them. The county party committee had ordered the county investment promotion bureau to organize the reception.

Qi's group did not have this process when conducting research in Yinzhou. Fang Zhicheng whispered this in Song Wendi's ear, which led to the change of Qi's group's schedule. Fang Zhicheng had already anticipated such a change and immediately made arrangements.

After hanging up the phone with Qi Yun, Fang Zhicheng immediately convened an overall meeting to assign relevant tasks.

Reception work is more complicated than imagined. Although the government has a set of relevant procedures, it still takes a lot of effort to coordinate them, such as verifying the time, holding welcome parties, seminars, banquets, accompanying visits, farewell ceremonies, etc.

After the initial rectification, China Merchants Group had a new style of work and after intensive preparations, it basically completed the preliminary preparations by the next day.

On the afternoon of the third day, the research team arrived at Dongtai County. In addition to the research team of Qi Group, important leaders from the provincial and municipal governments, such as Executive Vice Governor Zhao Guoyi and Municipal Party Committee Secretary Song Wendi, also accompanied them. County Party Committee Secretary Qian Dechen smiled and shook hands with each visitor, then walked to the back of the crowd.

Song Wendi scanned the crowd and saw Fang Zhicheng standing at the back. He turned around and told Qian Dechen, "Let Xiao Fang come over. He is most familiar with the Oriental Dubai Dongtai project. The Qi Group came here for that project, so it is most appropriate for him to introduce it."

Qian Dechen actually studied the investment proposal for a long time and made sufficient preparations. He did not expect that Song Wendi would push him aside with just one simple sentence. However, he still suppressed his anger and ordered someone to call Fang Zhicheng to join the welcoming team.

Fang Zhicheng walked to Song Wendi's side, turned his head and blinked at a beautiful woman wearing black-framed glasses not far away. The woman was slightly startled, as if she remembered something, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

After entering the county party committee meeting room, Song Wendi presided over the meeting, and Zhao Guoyi, executive vice mayor, and Guo Peihua, president of Qi's Group, delivered speeches. Then Fang Zhicheng, on behalf of the Dongtai County Government, gave a detailed explanation of the investment promotion plan of "Oriental Dubai Dongtai".

Qian Dechen was sitting in the audience. He felt extremely unbalanced at first, because he was supposed to be the protagonist, but he was overshadowed by Fang Zhicheng. However, as Fang Zhicheng's speech progressed, his mind gradually changed, because Fang Zhicheng's speech was more detailed than the original investment proposal. Not only did it add many concepts, it also cleverly integrated many Dongtai scenery photos, which made it more Dongtai-flavored.

These photos were collected by Fang Zhicheng on a daily basis. Many people in the Investment Promotion Bureau suddenly realized that Fang Zhicheng usually carried a digital camera bag not because he was idle, but because he was collecting folk songs in the corners of Dongtai and making preparations for improving the investment promotion plan.

Deputy Director Guo He showed a barely perceptible coldness on his face and whispered, "Our Director Fang has put a lot of effort into this investment promotion."

Deputy Director Zou Yu said in a complicated tone, "She looks young, but she's too mature in her actions. She's not cute at all."

Li Hui glanced at the two of them, thinking that Director Xiao Fang's methods were clever and had already begun to influence and shake these two people.

Not far away, Sun Weiming's mouth curled up into an arc. He glanced at Qian Dechen, whose face was changeable, and secretly gloated, because in today's Qi Group recommendation meeting, he, as the second-in-command, was destined to only play a supporting role, and Qian Dechen was naturally the protagonist, but Fang Zhicheng took his place. He could imagine Qian Dechen's inner frustration - a cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest!

Ever since Sun Weiming took office as county magistrate, there has been constant struggle between the two. He has suffered many losses from Qian Dechen, and now he is sitting on the mountain watching the fight between the two tigers, feeling indescribably relieved.

Fang Zhicheng was unaware of what the people below were thinking. With a smile on his face, he demonstrated the results of his repeated drills almost perfectly through this practical speech.

Fang Zhicheng has simulated today's scenario many times in private. If he had not been prepared, how could he have explained this rich and complex investment proposal so thoroughly

He revised and rehearsed this investment proposal no less than a hundred times. Sometimes, even when he was taking a shower, he would look in the mirror, watch his facial expressions during his speeches, and study his movements and demeanor to figure out how to attract the audience.

The best speakers are not only talented, but most of the time, they also need constant practice.

There were nearly a hundred people in the audience. In front of so many people, Fang Zhicheng spoke eloquently, gave advice and introduced the future business landscape of Dongtai to everyone present.

Almost everyone felt that a unique city scene appeared before their eyes.

"In the future, Dongtai will rely on trade, tourism, and high-tech industries to create a development miracle and become the most dazzling inland star city. It will not only build the world's leading hotels and shopping centers, but also the world's most prosperous financial center..."

After Fang Zhicheng finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had boasted a little too much, he still firmly believed that if he followed his own ideas, Dongtai's future would definitely be bright.

Without such a grand plan, how could it attract the attention of the Qi Group

Fang Zhicheng analyzed that the region's development plan must be forward-looking. If it is not forward-looking, it will not be able to attract the attention of a powerful company like the Qi Group.

“Pah pah pah…”

Qi Yu, who was sitting next to Guo Peihua, was the first to applaud. Her face was slightly red, and her eyes showed undisguised admiration. After returning from Harvard, she attended many recommendation meetings in the mainland, but this was the only government negotiation meeting that made her feel satisfied.

Other government negotiations were too conventional.

Guo Peihua was slightly stunned, glanced at his assistant, a complicated smile appeared on his face, and then he nodded and applauded.

Song Wendi, Zhao Guoyi and other government leaders also smiled, because judging from the situation on the scene, the Qi Group was still very satisfied with this trip to Dongtai.

Afterwards, the government and the Qi Group exchanged formal greetings, and then the county government took the visitors to several locations that had been prepared for a brief investigation.

Guo Peihua smiled and nodded, chatting with Zhao Guoyi and Song Wendi beside him from time to time. He suddenly felt something was wrong and found that his assistant was missing.

After looking around the crowd, Guo Peihua suddenly found that his assistant was standing with the young man who had just given the investment promotion plan speech, and they were whispering intimately.
