Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 432 I Have a Clear Plan (Please Subscribe)

Lü Yao has caused quite a stir on the internet, and those who have been following him have naturally noticed his movements.

Cities like Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Shenzhen, which are relatively developed and have a certain degree of influence, have begun to consider the feasibility of this matter.

So why are only these relatively developed areas considering the feasibility of this plan? Because only these areas have the courage and vision to do it this way. This approach would be absolutely impossible in the north, especially outside Shanhaiguan.

For example, how efficient is Shenzhen in terms of urban construction?

In the future, a remarkable individual from Shenzhen will emerge on the internet. Every day, this person will carry a ruler and measure every corner of the city, then post the findings online. The relevant authorities in Shenzhen will see these posts and resolve any issues that can be addressed on the same day.

Such an efficient work style has drawn widespread praise on the internet.

Logically speaking, with such a good example presented to the entire internet, anyone who simply copies it will gain a good reputation. Even those who join in the third or even fourth wave will gain a reputation for doing things diligently.

But in reality, no one joined the tour group at all.

Therefore, some netizens joked in the comments section: "It's only because you're in Shenzhen, otherwise~~~~~"

In Zhejiang, the speed of business processing for micro and small enterprises is also noteworthy, making the business environment there very good. This efficient environment without bottlenecks is very important for the development of micro and small enterprises.

Besides these, there's Sichuan.

So why is Sichuan able to do it? Even though the overall economic level of Sichuan is not very developed.

Although the overall economic level of Sichuan is not very developed, Chengdu's economic level is very impressive. Among the developed cities in China, Chengdu can be ranked among the top ten, and in some years it is even stronger than Suzhou.

This gave the decision-makers in Sichuan a sufficiently forward-thinking perspective.

However, Sichuan is a place with both exceptional strengths and significant weaknesses. In order to help the other Sichuanese people gain weight, Chengdu will use many methods.

The rise of online celebrities has driven the development of the cultural and tourism economy, and Sichuan was one of the first regions to seize this opportunity.

Later, it was Sichuan that turned the Village Maniac into a live-action open-world version of Stardew Valley and made it a hit online.

When it comes to revitalizing rural areas, Sichuan has really tried every possible method.

Now, following his work on the internet celebrity tourism economy, Lü Yao has once again put forward a highly operational strategy that can greatly strengthen grassroots manpower. So, should Sichuan follow suit or not?
This practice is similar to the sale of official positions in ancient times, but things are different now. In the past, people without official status would spend a lot of money to donate to obtain one.

And now?

To strengthen grassroots manpower, they have even started considering collaborating with entrepreneurs to increase the welfare of grassroots staff.

This is a good thing from all perspectives.

But there's one thing... that's really a headache: it doesn't sound good, it's extremely bad.

In Sichuan, they couldn't even think of a good-sounding and respectable pretext to make Lü Yao's operation seem legitimate, such as using the pretext of "increasing the welfare and benefits of grassroots staff" to spend the money.

If we were to do that, the grassroots work system across the country would be unbalanced, and people would be unhappy.

Everyone else was doing just fine being poor, so why are you making such a fuss? Are you the only one with money? What are we supposed to do with this? The key issue is that if this really escalates, all sorts of problems could easily arise. Who will take care of things before problems occur? And who will take responsibility after problems do occur?
With so many obstacles hindering it, this matter becomes particularly difficult to implement.

So, why not just swallow your pride and cooperate directly with Lü Yao's side?

No, no!
You, Lü Yao, may have money, but if you really do this, who will those people be—your people or mine? What are your true intentions, Lü Yao? If all domestic entrepreneurs acted like you, Lü Yao, what would become of us?
Some things may seem insignificant on a scale, but once weighed, they can feel incredibly heavy.

and so.

After deliberating without success, a group of people in Sichuan realized that this matter was indeed difficult to handle. Not only was it difficult to handle, but they also had to spread rumors about it and criticize Lü Yao.

So, three days after Lü Yao published the article, several official media outlets in China, including those in Sichuan, released information about it. The reaction from Sichuan was the most intense, with local media criticizing the incident on their television.

The official media's reaction cooled down many people who were initially impulsive and preparing for the civil service exam. It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured directly over their heads in the dead of winter.

Many people's dreams of getting rich quick were shattered as a result.

As a result, various grievances began to spread online:

"What the hell does this mean? Are they making a fool of us?"

"Don't you understand? They don't want to give us a chance to get rich overnight at all."

"Oh no, I think Lu Ze has really crossed the line this time. Will he suddenly disappear?"

While various opinions were spreading widely online, Lü Yao had already been invited to Chengdu for negotiations.

Regardless of the prevailing opinion online, Lü Yao's achievements in Sichuan are undeniable. We cannot allow a small mistake to cause Lü Yao any resentment or misunderstanding. Therefore, the big boss in Sichuan personally intervened and invited Lü Yao over.

Of course, this was not a formal conversation, but a private exchange between the Sichuan tycoon and Lü Yao. Therefore, the place where the two met was not a particularly formal occasion. The Sichuan tycoon was even dressed casually and plainly, wearing an old-fashioned down jacket that looked ordinary. He was no different from any other old man you could see on the street.

The two strolled and chatted in a lakeside park in Chengdu.

The big boss from Sichuan is surnamed Wang. He has a full and broad face, wears silver-rimmed glasses, and looks very tall. His accent doesn't sound like he's from the south, but rather from the north.

He and Lü Yao walked in the lakeside park, chatting about this and that until they had laid the groundwork, then this Mr. Wang laughed and said, "Little Lü, have you seen the news these past two days?"

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Yes, I've seen it all. I was indeed too reckless. I was a bit thoughtless and said things without thinking online. I think everyone's criticism of me is very correct. I still lack common sense in this area, and I'm too naive and inexperienced."

He spoke very sincerely, like a primary school student who has genuinely realized their mistake and begins to sincerely reflect on it.

This attitude is very good, and Boss Wang is very satisfied with Lü Yao's attitude.

So Boss Wang laughed and said, "Alright, Xiao Lü, don't be too nervous. Actually, our criticism of you is essentially to protect you. Don't think we have any deep-seated grudges against you." Lü Yao nodded and smiled, "I understand, don't worry."

……

Shangnan, 7th floor of Huasheng Life Plaza.

Rong Nianqing was drinking tea in her office while browsing information on her computer, as well as related information gathered from various sources.

Nowadays, you can't just look at one side of the report when doing things. If a company wants to grow and become strong, it must have multiple informants and cross-approval from multiple parties.

Rong Nianqing's companies involve many entities, so she must have a clear understanding of the prices in the supply chain at all times. This kind of "clear understanding" cannot rely solely on reports from people within her own company system; otherwise, she would be easily ruined by her subordinates.

This is how many domestic companies are ruined.

Just as Rong Nianqing was gathering intelligence from all sides and learning about the latest company developments and the positions of key personnel, Gan Xiaoxi rushed into Rong Nianqing's office. As soon as she entered, she grabbed Rong Nianqing's cup and gulped down the tea inside.

Rong Nianqing didn't stop her; instead, she refilled Gan Xiaoxi's water after she finished drinking it.

This time, Gan Xiaoxi didn't continue drinking water, but said to Rong Nianqing, "The big boss from Sichuan went to talk to Lü Yao. It seems that what Lü Yao did this time was really too much. Not only did multiple official media outlets criticize him, but the wording from Sichuan was particularly strong. Now he has been summoned for a talk."

"I hope nothing's happened to Lü Yao."

Rong Nianqing said calmly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. The louder the criticism, the more it shows that they are protecting Lü Yao."

Gan Xiaoxi scratched her head: "I don't understand. Lu Yao was doing very well in Sichuan before, so why did he suddenly make such a stupid move? Now he's been criticized in a public notice."

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "It's because Lü Yao did such a good job over there that we did this."

After being exposed, Gan Xiaoxi let out a "whoosh". Gan Xiaoxi was very smart, and the reason she hadn't figured it out was because she cared too much about Lü Yao. Now that Rong Nianqing had pointed it out, Gan Xiaoxi immediately realized what had happened.

This was Lü Yao's refusal.

Previously, Rong Nianqing was worried that she would have to compete with the people from Sichuan. At that time, Rong Nianqing was particularly melancholy and felt that she was no different from Cao Cao a thousand years ago. She did not expect that Lü Yao would handle the matter so quickly.

From now on, whenever Sichuan tries to offer a price to keep Lü Yao, someone will definitely bring up this incident.

"I think this young Lü isn't very reliable, after all, he lacks relevant experience."

Gan Xiaoxi became smug: "Hey~ I knew Lü Yao couldn't be that stupid."

Rong Nianqing smiled and then said to Gan Xiaoxi, "Now, can you get your butt off my desk?"

……

Rongcheng.

After walking for a while, Lü Yao and Boss Wang sat down on a bench in the lakeside park.

After clarifying any potential misunderstandings between them, Boss Wang said that he was getting old and couldn't walk much longer, so he wanted to find a place to sit down and rest.

In fact, Boss Wang knew why Lü Yao was doing this at this critical juncture. Their meeting was not only to clear up any possible misunderstandings, but also because Boss Wang wanted to persuade Lü Yao again.

But along the way, Lü Yao didn't give Boss Wang that chance.

This further confirms Mr. Wang's guess.

So after sitting down on a park bench by the lake, Boss Wang hinted, "It's really not what it used to be. I can't go very far anymore. Actually, now that I've reached this position, there aren't many people who can truly inherit my mantle. Xiao Lü, let me be frank, are you really not going to reconsider?"

This approach was indeed inappropriate and could easily leave room for criticism.

But ultimately, things are done and explained by people. The same thing can be said negatively or positively. If Lü Yao can change his mind... he can help.

To win back Lü Yao's heart, Boss Wang added, "I know you came all the way from Shangnan, but the two are not mutually exclusive. If you join us and do a good enough job, you will become a bridge between us and Shangnan."

This idea is indeed wonderful. Sichuan and Shangnan are very far apart, with almost no geographical connection between them. Once Lü Yao establishes himself in Sichuan, Shangnan can provide point-to-point assistance to Sichuan.

With Lü Yao around, the difficulties that might arise from these actions would be easier to resolve. If Lü Yao could be brought into Sichuan while he was still in office, then after he stepped down and took another step forward, Lü Yao would become a powerful asset in his plans. In this way, his future path would be paved more solidly and firmly.

Boss Wang's invitation was particularly sincere. When Lü Yao was studying abroad, he didn't pay much attention to the personnel in Sichuan, but according to the information he had collected recently, Boss Wang's future was still very bright.

So Lu Yao didn't refuse, but pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for your appreciation. I am really tempted, but the criticisms from the outside world are still valid. I am too young, too frivolous, and my resume is not stellar."

Boss Wang's eyes dimmed slightly.

But then he heard Lü Yao say, "You might as well observe me a little longer. If I am really suitable to come to Sichuan, it won't be too late for you to give me a hand. If I am really ignorant and cause some trouble, it won't implicate you."

This left Boss Wang completely baffled.

what does this mean?

Was this a refusal or an agreement? Could it be that this little guy really lacks confidence in himself? Boss Wang has reached his current position, so he must possess a very shrewd and calculating mind. Therefore, he quickly found a reason that could convince himself—

This young man, Lü, told me to give him further consideration.

Actually, what he was really thinking was whether he could cover for him should the boy cause any more trouble in the future.

Boss Wang felt he had grasped Lü Yao's pulse, so he laughed and said, "That's fine then. But you're quite interesting. Everyone else is afraid that the evaluation period will be too long and waste time, but you're the one who actively wants me to evaluate you more."

As he spoke, Boss Wang stood up and patted his down jacket: "Then I'll investigate you further."
