After some understanding, the Provincial Finance Department parachuted in a director from a ministry. After taking office, the director intended to sort out the financial work of Huainan Province, and the ever-changing Yinzhou became the first target to be rectified.
In the county party secretary's office, Sun Weiming was talking on the phone with Qi Shaoqun, the new director of the Finance Department.
Qi Shaoqun sighed and said, "Weiming, after leaving the army, everyone has gone their separate ways and spread all over the country. There are not many comrades like us who are still in the same province. You must come to Qiongjin when you have time. We should have a few drinks."
Sun Weiming had a lot of thoughts. Qi Shaoqun was the least conspicuous person among his peers back then. However, after leaving the army, he had many opportunities. He started as a guard for a certain leader, then married a leader's daughter, and after demobilization, he joined a ministry. Now the gap has changed a lot.
Sun Weiming knew that although they were comrades-in-arms, the difference in status between them no longer allowed him to talk to Qi Shaoqun as he did before. He smiled and said, "Of course, you can also come to Dongtai to inspect it when you are free, so that I can do my best to be the host."
Qi Shaoqun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Weiming, you have changed a lot. When we were in the same class, you had the strongest personality and leadership charisma. Now you are not so straightforward. When talking to me, you are shy. We are brothers, so there is no need for so many politeness. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will definitely help you solve it. However, Dongtai's financial situation surprised me. I specially checked the material report of the audit team. You are much more standardized than other counties in Yinzhou, and there are almost no major problems. I guess I can't help you much."
Sun Weiming smiled and said, "That's enough..."
Qi Shaoqun was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have good news for you. If nothing unexpected happens, Chief Qiao is likely to come to Huainan..."
"Ah?" Sun Weiming's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Is it true?"
Qi Shaoqun said this in a tactful way. If you analyze it carefully, you will find that he was just the vanguard of that leader.
Qi Shaoqun smiled faintly, "It's just news now, let's wait patiently. When Chief Qiao comes to Huainan, he will definitely promote a group of capable and trustworthy cadres. I will mention it to him then. With your achievements in Dongtai, it will be easy for you to take a few steps up."
Chief Qiao is the chief that Qi Shaoqun followed back then. Although he has no direct contact with Sun Weiming, if Chief Qiao comes to Dongtai, he must be a powerful person who needs to train people. With the relationship between him and Qi Shaoqun, Sun Weiming will undoubtedly be able to take advantage of the situation to rise.
If he went further up, that would mean going to the city or the province, Sun Weiming vaguely felt that his chance had come!
Although Dongtai has a good momentum, its room for growth is limited. Since it is already on the official ladder, who wouldn’t want to take a few more steps up
However, when he leaves Dongtai, he must make proper arrangements and place his trusted men in core positions. Whether he goes to the city or the province, Dongtai will be his military granary.
In the officialdom, everyone is not simple. A seemingly insignificant person may turn out to be a big shot who has made great achievements if you get to know him carefully. For example, Sun Weiming has been silent in Dongtai for many years and has been stuck at the deputy director and director levels for two terms. Who would have thought that he could have a relationship with the leaders of the ministry
The director of the Provincial Finance Department is Sun Weiming's comrade-in-arms. The news spread unknowingly, and Sun Weiming's seemingly precarious position became unshakable again. With the support of the leaders of the powerful departments of the Provincial Party Committee, his position is naturally in a completely different league.

The grand opening ceremony of Huijin Commercial Plaza was held with the joint promotion of two powerful chaebols, Hongda Group and Qi Group. It not only attracted attention in Huainan Province, but also aroused heated discussions throughout the country. The industry believes that this is a groundbreaking move and a typical case of Hong Kong enterprises and mainland enterprises seeking common development.
The commercial area managed by Hongda Group mainly targets high-cost-effective brands, covering catering, shopping, leisure, etc.; the commercial area managed by Qishi Group mainly targets high-end consumer brands, mainly jewelry, clothing, etc. The two commercial areas seem to have different main brands, but they are connected and complementary to each other.
Song Wendi, secretary of the municipal party committee, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech, saying that Huijin Commercial Plaza is not only a landmark project in Dongtai in the past two years, but also a key project for Yinzhou to enter a new era of development. With Dongtai having such a heavyweight commercial plaza, the living standards of citizens have been further improved. At the same time, Huijin Commercial Plaza has not only the first phase of the project, but also the second and third phases. The continuous enrichment of commercial facilities will add more competitive advantages to Dongtai...
Fang Zhicheng sat in the audience, quietly analyzing Song Wendi's words. The words looked simple, but the connotation was extraordinary. Song Wendi had already regarded the development of Dongtai and Yinzhou as a whole, and regarded Dongtai as an important strategic location for his layout in Yinzhou.
Song Wendi's original speech was only five minutes long, but today he gave an impromptu speech that lasted fifteen minutes. His logic was clear, his language was fluent, and his voice was gentle and powerful, attracting everyone present. A vivid city painting seemed to open up before everyone's eyes. Before long, Dongtai will become a county-level city in line with international standards, closely following the sea of clouds and leading Yinzhou, becoming a unique and distinctive city...
Huijin Commercial Plaza finally opened successfully, with streamers flying and cheers and applause continuing.
Fang Zhicheng's mood was indescribable. He even felt a little sour in his nose. Thinking back to the past two years in Dongtai, his efforts step by step turned into reality, and the feeling of success was beyond words.
Qi Yu came to Fang Zhicheng from the podium at some point. Seeing that Fang Zhicheng looked a little strange, she asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Do you want to cry?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Yes, I was moved by myself."
"Puff!" Qi Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but soon calmed down and said with emotion, "Yes, you are indeed great. The people of Dongtai should thank you. The opening of Huijin Commercial Plaza is not just a commercial plaza for a county-level city, but a symbol. In the next three years, the overall commercial level of Dongtai will take a big step forward."
Fang Zhicheng reminded: "Based on the effect of today's opening ceremony, it will be of great benefit to Qi's Group to restore its brand image, right?"
Qi Yu sighed and said, "Yes, I just received a call. After the announcement of the successful opening of Dongtai Huijin Commercial Plaza, the group's stock price, which had been falling for several days, finally stopped declining and is gradually rising. With the news being released in major domestic media tomorrow, it will also have a boosting effect on the stock price of Qi Group."
Fang Zhicheng nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile: "I almost forgot, it seems that there is still a bet between us that has not been resolved."
"Ah? What bet?" Qi Yu blinked, as if he had lost his memory.
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and sighed, "When you bet with a woman, you will always lose."
After the opening ceremony, about 5,000 to 6,000 citizens flocked to Huijin Commercial Plaza. Many consumers did not understand the significance of Huijin Commercial Plaza to Dongtai, but they recognized one thing: all stores had extremely attractive opening activities during the opening period. Low prices, cash back, lucky draws... consumers had no way to control their desire to shop. They took out money from their pockets or bank cards from their wallets without hesitation, and everyone's face was filled with the joy brought by shopping.
After walking around Huijin Commercial Plaza with Chyi Yu, we saw that every store was packed with consumers. Chyi Yu said with emotion: "I didn't expect the purchasing power of Dongtai citizens to be so strong. It's quite surprising. I originally thought that some luxury brand stores would have slow business, but I didn't expect them to be packed with people."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and explained: "The citizens who are incited are very scary. As long as the quality of your products is good enough and the channels are legitimate, you don't have to worry about the lack of market demand."
Qi Yu frowned slightly and said, "You seem to have some hidden meaning in your words."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "The brand stores that Qi's Group has recruited are all internationally renowned brands, but I'm afraid that these brand stores will bring in a lot of parallel imports for the sake of profit and make huge profits. If that happens, I'm afraid the gains will outweigh the losses."
Qi Yu sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "It's not that I know the business, but the citizens know the business better than me. If you can ensure that the brand store's goods are sourced from legitimate sources, I believe you will be able to attract a lot of popularity."
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be strict with this."
After having a simple lunch with Qi Yu at a food restaurant in Huijin Commercial Plaza, Fang Zhicheng sent Qi Yu back to the hotel. When he was about to leave, Qi Yu suddenly called Fang Zhicheng and said with a smile: "By the way, I have something to give you. Come with me to the room."
Fang Zhicheng was confused and followed Qi Yu into the hotel, but Qi Yu went straight into the bedroom, locked the door, and left Fang Zhicheng in the living room.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the door was opened. Fang Zhicheng was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him.
Qi Yu crossed her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed deeply to Fang Zhicheng, and said sweetly, "Master, hello! I am your servant Xiao Yu, may I have any instructions for you?"
