Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

The inspection team, led by Mayor Fu and accompanied by District Party Committee Secretary He, arrived smoothly.

By the way, because of his contribution to the introduction of projects, the former secretary of Futian District has been successfully promoted to other positions. Professor He Weijun is now both the district mayor and the acting secretary.

of course!
The reason for the above job transfer was Lu Yang's own guess.

There is no evidence.

Anyway, the result is this, so it is correct for him to call Professor He Weijun "Secretary He" now. He just needs to wait for the change of leadership. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to become a full-time employee.

What does no accidents mean?

Of course, it is his project that brings luck to the other party. I hope it will not become like the Giant Building project in the next city, which suddenly fails. Instead, there will be a two-level reversal. By that time, let alone becoming a regular employee, it will be very good if he is not transferred to the CPPCC for retirement.

So isn't this all clear?

Why did he come down so quickly and make sure that Lu Yang was in the company?

Here's why.

Mayor Fu and District Party Committee Secretary He were warmly welcomed by Lu Yang and all the company employees.

"applaud!"

"Pah pah pah pah pah pah."

“Give me flowers!”

"We welcome the leaders to come and give us guidance."

"Pah pah pah pah pah pah."

A large group of young people applauded and smiled at the city leaders who were surrounded in the middle, and the ones who were arranged to present flowers were naturally a few beautiful female receptionists from Lu Yang's company.

There was enthusiasm in presenting flowers and joy in watching, but only the city leaders who accepted the flowers had indescribable embarrassment on their faces.

It was not right to accept or not to accept. Finally, under the leadership of Mayor Fu and District Party Committee Secretary He, he reluctantly accepted the flowers handed to him by the girls with a smile as if he was constipated.

It is important to mention that after Mr. He Weijun took the flowers, he took advantage of no one's attention and glared fiercely at Lu Yang and his female students who were outside the encirclement.

snort!
Look at what you have done.

It's fine for local grassroots public institutions to engage in these formalisms, but now even private enterprises like you are starting to engage in these formalisms on a large scale?
Lu Yang had an innocent look on his face, and he was also confused. What was going on?

He turned his head and looked at his secretary.

Xu Siqi was originally smiling happily, thinking that her boss and teacher would definitely like her arrangement.

Because she has experience in this!

In elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college, every time a senior leader came to inspect, the school would arrange for student representatives to come forward to present flowers. Take Xu Siqi for example. She is beautiful, sweet, has outstanding looks, excellent grades, and an extraordinary family background. Naturally, she is one of the student representatives chosen to present flowers every time.

Really, she is so experienced.

So she did everything according to her own experience and didn't think there was anything wrong with her doing so. In the morning, her boss asked her to make preparations to welcome the city leaders who were coming to inspect the work. Didn't he also ask her to organize the employees to welcome them and arrange the flower-laying session?
No, why is the teacher glaring at me? And what is that look from the boss?
Oops, she suddenly panicked, always feeling that she must have done something wrong, but she didn't know where.

So when Lu Yang turned his head to look at her, she also looked at Lu Yang with her clean, pure, ignorant and innocent eyes.

Lu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: What's that look in your eyes? You've been interning here for a year, and you're still pretending to be a naive person who just graduated from school, right?
Presenting flowers is not a big deal actually, although it makes both parties feel a little awkward. But let's be honest, this phenomenon does exist and it's quite common, especially in less developed areas. Arranging the presentation of flowers is already the lowest level of flattery. There are many more blatant ones than this... so don't laugh.

What made Lu Yang laugh and cry was that this eldest niece messed up things and actually learned to shirk responsibility, making it clear that she was trying to put the blame on her boss.

"Isn't this a slap in my face?"

"Is your boss that stupid?"

"Besides, I don't need to curry favor with them, do I?"

I'm speechless. Lu Yang was just about to show off, but before he could do so, someone accidentally helped him expose his butt. So his performance now is also one of the most exciting.

These things happened very quickly. While they were making eye contact, Secretary He had already walked up to them with flowers in his hands.

He first glared at his student, then glanced at Lu Yang with a half-smile, patted Lu Yang on the shoulder, and whispered, "It's fun to fool around, isn't it?"

Lu Yang felt like he had eaten bitter herbs. It seemed that he had to take the blame, so he simply accepted it and said with a smile: "Secretary He, if you say so, then I don't agree. How can this be nonsense? Giving flowers to the leaders shows that we are a young company. Look at them, they are all college students who have just graduated from campus for a few years. Each of them can be your son, no, your student. You are a teacher and they are students. Students giving flowers to teachers, doesn't that make sense?"

Lu Yang is just quibbling.

But after listening to Lu Yang's excuses, He Weijun turned around and looked at the young man who was following Lu Yang and handing him the flowers and applauding, and he couldn't help but nodded.

So he said earnestly: "What you said makes sense. It seems that we old antiques are not able to adapt to the enthusiasm of you young people. However, when running a business, performance speaks for itself. It depends on how many jobs it can provide for local people, how much tax it can provide to the local finance, and how much it can contribute to society. These are the basic factors to measure whether a company is excellent or not."

When he said this, he looked behind Lu Yang.

Lu Yang realized that there was someone behind him, and it was probably not his secretary. The secretary's footsteps were much lighter than this one. When she walked, she either made a "tapping" sound, which was because she was wearing high heels that day, or it was basically inaudible unless you listened carefully.

The person behind him should be a man, and he is not young. A strong smell of cigarette smoke wafted from behind and entered Lu Yang's nostrils.

Let him guess who this person is at once.

Sure enough, Mayor Fu's voice came from behind. Mayor Fu, who is also a scholar-official, took over the topic and laughed, "Well, an entrepreneur's achievements should be judged by performance. So, Mr. Lu, how has your young company performed this year? In terms of how many jobs it has provided to local people, how much tax revenue it has provided to the local treasury, and how much contribution it has made to the local society, hahahaha, based on these points, how many points do you plan to give yourselves?"

Although he was clearly here to check out Lu Yang's background and how much money was left in the company's account, he was anxious in his heart but not in words. Whenever something happened, he would brag about it and his mouth was full of big truths.

Lu Yang wanted to laugh when he heard this.

"Let me rate you?"

"Give yourself a grade? I give you a shit."

Although these two old foxes, one speaks earnestly and caringly, and the other smiles like a Maitreya Buddha, in fact, according to the doctrine of the mean passed down by our ancestors, they certainly don't like young people to be ostentatious. They think that young people should be low-key and modest. They hope to hear Lu Yang be modest.

But why be modest?

He was already being modest just now! (He took the blame for the secretary's stupidity.)
So it’s time to be high-profile, isn’t it?

Lu Yang also laughed. I laughed when you laughed. You are not the only old man who would think like that. I laughed even louder than you. "There is no need to give us scores. Let's just use facts to speak for ourselves. Secretary Xu, I remember that our group should have a branch company in Pengcheng, right? Go get their financial statements for this quarter and let the two leaders take a look."

The youthful vigor and vitality of the young people were undoubtedly demonstrated at this moment.

After all, Lu Yang was serious about showing off, and there would be no better opportunity than just now.

Mayor Fu's laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at Lu Yang deeply, then smiled at his old friend across from him and said, "Old He, I knew our kid must be prepared. Look, he didn't even wait for us to sit down. Isn't this a surprise for us?"

The old He in his eyes seemed a little worried at this moment.

He was also secretly cursing Lu Yang in his heart: Why are you so arrogant? Can't you be humble in front of two old people like us? We are here to help you today, don't be ungrateful. If you do this, you will not be able to hand in a satisfactory answer later, and Mayor Fu will be unhappy. How can you let me help you?

It is true that the urban CBD project in Futian District is currently the city’s main priority project.

It is true that whether the New Century Building, Luyang's group headquarters building, can be successfully completed is an important benchmark for the smooth implementation of the city's CBD project.

It is true that the project is jointly led by the municipal party committee and the municipal government. However, the first responsible party for this project is not the municipal party committee and the municipal government, but the Futian District Committee, because the city did not agree to this project at the beginning, and it was the district that fought for it and actively introduced Luyang to invest, using the project of up to 10 billion yuan as bait, and finally forced the two municipal leadership teams to reach a consensus.

First, make sure you understand this.

The urban CBD project in their Futian District was not promoted by the municipal government, but was something that the Futian District Committee insisted on pursuing.

If something goes wrong, the district will be the first responsible party, and it will be He Weijun who will be the first responsible person.

Do you think he was panicking?

At this critical juncture, Shi Juren from the neighboring city is also a great man. His company's Chinese desktop computers, Chinese laptops, and health products are all selling very well and are well-known throughout the country.

But the funding chain was broken in an instant.

There was not even a letter, which caught the local government off guard.

It is obvious that the company's credibility is at fault, but the local government has to clean up the mess.

Do you think he was panicking?

Fortunately, he still had some face. Today, he specially invited his old friend to support this kid. He even thought of how to help solve the problem. It was just a matter of giving money if he needed it.

And where does the money come from?

Of course it’s the bank!
Fortunately, he found out that this kid had never borrowed money from local banks in Pengcheng. Although the higher-ups are now strictly investigating lending and banks are collectively tightening their credit, as long as the municipal government steps in, it should not be a problem for this kid to borrow a few hundred million based on the reputation of his companies.

But this brat actually pretended to be nice to him without even waiting for him to ask. Doesn’t he need money?

That's impossible.

There is no business owner who does not lack money. The bigger the company, the higher the debt ratio. Basically, they will try every means to borrow more from the bank to expand their operations. Don't forget, he studied finance, studied abroad in his early years, and later returned to China to serve as an economics lecturer at Peking University. No one understands finance better than him.

He Weijun looked at Lu Yang with a look of disappointment. While his student was getting the information, he came up to Lu Yang and whispered in a low voice, "Don't you read the newspaper? Do you know why we are here today?"

Lu Yang also whispered: "I guessed it."

He Weijun was surprised and said, "You guessed it, and you still do this? Don't tell me that you really have 10 billion in cash in your account. If you really have 10 billion, I will eat all the paper in your office now. Don't be stubborn, kid. The New Century Building is related to all aspects. It must not be stopped. It must not be like the Giant Building next door, where workers demanded wages and material suppliers blocked the door. Do you hear me?"

Lu Yang nodded and said, "I really don't have 10 billion. Didn't I tell you when we were planning? I can take out 5 million in cash, and then I can earn the rest slowly. What, Secretary He, don't you believe in my ability?"

to sum up.

Lu Yang is very confident in his ability to make money.

But Secretary He has no confidence.

So this old man has already cursed: "You go and earn it slowly, can you guarantee that you can earn 5 million in two years?

We had agreed at the beginning that once the construction of the New Century Building began, the construction would not be stopped. The manager of the China Construction Third Engineering Bureau, which was responsible for building it, also said that as long as the construction schedule was not delayed, the roof would be completed within two years, and the entire exterior and interior decoration would be completed within three years at the latest.

China Construction Third Engineering Bureau is a central enterprise. Our local government has no say in this. When we contracted the project, it was clearly written in black and white that once the project starts, you must pay them a certain amount of money for each stage completed. If you pay them less than a cent, they have the right to stop construction. Are you kidding me?"

From He Weijun's perspective, what Lu Yang said did sound a bit like a joke, but from Lu Yang's perspective, he was not joking at all.

Lu Yang smiled softly and said, "Mr. He, are you afraid? Weren't you ambitious before? He, Shi Yuzhu, is he, Shi Yuzhu, and I am me. Don't worry, the suspension of the Giant Building will not affect my New Century Building."

After saying that, the corners of his mouth kept pouting upwards.

He Weijun was so angry that he wanted to scold him: "You kid is simply..."

Before he could utter the word "arrogant", a cry of surprise came from the side.

"Hiss, is this report authentic?"

"Ah."

"Are you sure there's no moisture in it?"

"I dare not lie in front of the leader. If you don't believe me, Mayor Fu, you can ask someone to check."

"hiss--"

There was another gasp.

He Weijun turned his head and found that it was his old friend who was looking terrified in front of his students.

Could it be——

Is it it?

He saw at a glance a piece of paper held in the hand of his old friend.

"Xiao Xu, do you have the same information? Give me one too."

He wanted to see what was in it.

When Secretary Xiao Xu heard that the teacher also wanted it, of course she dared not disobey. She had already made several copies of this paper in advance.

She immediately smiled sweetly, took out a piece of paper from the folder and handed it to the teacher.

He Weijun took it and looked down.

"hiss--"

His face changed, he took a breath, pointed at the numbers and said, "This, this, this...are these all true?"

Mainly it's too exaggerated.

A factory that was built and put into production less than a year ago has an annual sales of more than 6 million yuan. No, not one year. It only records the sales records for the seven months from March when it was listed to September. A total of 3 million units were sold, with a total sales of 9 million yuan. The net profit attributable to the parent company is also written here, which is no less than 7 million yuan.

exaggerate!

It's simply exaggerated.

If it is really possible to make money in this way, then what are the consequences of him urging others to help them get loans, thinking that they are ungrateful, and educating young people to learn to be low-key and humble?
Are you slapping yourself in the face?
For a moment, he looked at Lu Yang opposite him with a red face.

Don't know what to say.

"Good, that's great. Mr. Lu is young and promising. Mr. Lu is indeed young and promising. Good, good, good, great. Now we can rest assured."

Unlike He Weijun, Mayor Fu obviously wants to act more free and easy.

Not only did things return to normal, but new ideas emerged.

Mayor Fu, holding the Q3 financial report of Little Prodigy in his hand, looked at Lu Yang with a sharp gaze: "Mr. Lu, I think we should talk about this. What do you think of the CBD plan launched by Pengcheng? How about taking two more plots of land?"

How can I spend all this money? I have to get two plots of land!
