Chapter 69 Someone coming from my hometown
On July 1st, Shanshan Supermarket began cleaning its warehouse, preparing the space, and renting warehouse space.

On July 2nd, owners of over 7 small and micro garment workshops from 14 towns and 540 administrative villages in Tao County joined Chengbang Trade's supply group.

That afternoon, the distribution of all members was finalized, and a new raw material supply route was established nearby, with all materials being shipped to Shanshan Supermarket at No. 606, Linhe Road, Taoxian County.

The demand for 500,000 garment products, totaling over 3 million pieces, was initially divided roughly according to the number of employees and location of each garment factory. All garment workshops were responsible for their own production, delivery, and unified procurement.

At this moment, neither the high-ranking officials of Taoyuan County nor the high-ranking officials of Donghai City reacted.

No one expected that this naive boy, who used to stay cooped up in his room all day, had already grown up so much.

Without finance, auditing, or even contracts, relying solely on its reputation known to everyone in Tao County and orders for simple, inexpensive T-shirts, hundreds of workshops and over a thousand owners and suppliers joined this frenzy at their own expense, involving more than five million yuan and seven to eight thousand people.

Each workshop contributes one or two thousand yuan to produce these cheap clothes. As long as they are inspected in the county town and pass inspection, they can receive all their wages.

That afternoon, Jiang Junqing from Donghai City tried to persuade Tian Ersan to go to school, but was refused and became somewhat unhappy.

On July 3rd, Tian Ersan purchased various measuring supplies for Shanshan Supermarket, explained various matters in the group chat, and coordinated production issues.

On July 4th, Tian Ersan conducted a live-streaming sales event and began preliminary analysis of college application strategies.

On July 8th, Tian Ersan's remarks became increasingly outrageous, drawing criticism from authoritative media. He admitted his mistakes on the same day and took the show off his integrity.

On July 9th, when male and female business owners from nearby towns gathered in tricycles with hundreds of goods at the old street on Linhe Road, the gathering of thousands of people finally alarmed county, city, and provincial leaders.

Many things are like summer homework on the last day before school starts; you have plenty of days to deal with them, but they all come together at once.

The banks were the first to react, because Tian Ersan had transferred 15 million yuan to the Linhe Road branch account of China Commercial Bank at 8:00 AM on the 9th.

Tian Ersan tried very hard to remind them.

Secondly, there was the investigation team, which investigated Li Biao and his protectors, as well as the investigation team that visited the old streets of Linhe Road to look for evidence of crimes. They reported the matter directly to the highest level.

People from Taoxian's superior city finally discovered Tian Ersan's backup plan in Taoxian!
This talent has also been discovered at the provincial level.

There was no time to wait for someone to come and start the meeting, so the group quickly discussed a plan. They needed to get things sorted out before the meeting started.

At the very least, when asking questions, you should say that you are working on it, instead of saying: "I don't know."

"More than 5,000 jobs... and at least 10,000 jobs in the upstream and downstream industries. How come this was only discovered now?"

"Everyone thought Tian Ersan had left and gone to Donghai City to develop his business, but I didn't expect him to still have business in Tao County."

"What should we do now?"

"Of course, helping him do well in his business will be a huge boost to the economy of the entire county! I checked his online clothing store, and it's doing very well, but I don't know the exact number of sales, as the online store doesn't show it."

"Send someone to inquire. Zhongzhou welcomes him back. If he's willing to come back, Donghai City will give him everything it can, and even more!"

"It seems he offended someone in Beijing. Several media outlets criticized him yesterday, and it seems they've even banned him from live streaming. There's been no response from Donghai City either."

"We'll help him!! Donghai City can't handle this, but our province can. It's not a big deal. Who did the young man offend by speaking a few honest words?"

"How can he make money so easily? He earned tens of millions in less than a month. His donations should be limited by now."

“He bypassed the donation organizations by doing this, and many charities have objections to this. However, his situation is special, so we will send someone to take a look and try to get him back.”

***
The provincial government reacted much faster than the county government, even before Jiang Junqing had a chance to react, they sent someone to find Tian Ersan.

Victory or defeat is not an absolute matter.

Previously, Donghai City reacted quickly because Tian Ersan took the initiative to come to their side, and he himself charged ahead and did everything he could.

This time, Tian Ersan is no longer on the side of Donghai City. From the very beginning of his clothing business and design, he has been on the side of Tao County.

Tian Ersan did not consider himself a native of Taoxian County, nor did he consider himself a native of Donghai City.

For more than ten days, Tian Ersan did not show loyalty, but instead continuously demonstrated his value!
The provincial-level units that want to make up for lost talent and the municipal-level agencies that are busy with other things after recruiting talent have completely different responses to this kind of situation.

Especially since the incident occurred in a place like Tao County, where Donghai City lacks intelligence, Zhongzhou Province, having learned from its past mistakes, attaches great importance to this matter.

"Hello, Mr. Tian, ​​I am Ban Lixian, the director of Zhongzhou Investment Promotion Bureau. Do you have some time now?"

Tian Ersan was playing a game when he received the call. He smiled and said, "I have time. What's up?"

Tian Ersan was actually waiting for these people to come to him on their own initiative.

They've been waiting for days, and it took more than ten days for this group to finally realize what was happening.

Ban Lixian felt much relieved when he saw that the other party's tone and attitude showed no anger or resentment.

"I'd like to discuss some business matters with you regarding Tao County. Also, the outcome of the case against Li Biao and his criminal gang has been decided. We've decided to repair and preserve your house in Tao County, and we'd like to ask for your opinion."

Tian Ersan: "Where are you? I'll go down and bring you back up."

Ban Lixian quickly replied, "Okay, we'll wait for you at the door."

Tian Ersan quickly put on his shoes, hat, and sunglasses and went out.

It's already mid-July, and the weather is getting hot. Since this is a coastal city, wearing sunglasses is quite normal.

Zhang Shuya and Wang Linlin have recently taken to going out shopping, buying groceries and meals at bustling malls. They've been cooped up for over a month because of Li Biao's situation, and having lived in a small, flat county town for decades, they haven't yet recovered from the initial excitement.

The residential area is for civil servants, and all the residents are people with real power. There are guards standing at the entrance.

Tian Ersan quickly went to a nearby coffee shop to meet with a few people.

The group consisted of three men and one woman. The three men were all over forty years old, and the woman was around thirty.

Tian Ersan and Ban Lixian sat down, while the rest of the people sat at a nearby table.

With a business scale of tens of millions, Tian Ersan is already qualified to talk to a bureau chief like Ban Lixian who is in charge of investment promotion.

“I have read Teacher Tian’s poems. I never thought that our Central Plains would have a poet like you. I am very sorry for what happened before. The province has decided to provide compensation to Teacher Tian in various ways.”

Tian Ersan casually said, "I'm not interested in money. I only make money to ensure a minimum income. Have Li Biao and the others been punished?"

Ban Lixian was quite surprised to see that Tian Ersan attached so much importance to the matter of Li Biao and the others.

Li Biao himself had no recollection of ever bullying Tian Ersan, and insisted that he had never hit Tian Ersan.

But if Tian Ersan says he was beaten, then Li Biao has no choice but to confess.

“Li Biao has killed several people. As the principal offender, he will definitely be sentenced to death, and the other accomplices will also be sentenced to death.”

"This time, more than 30 people were investigated, some sentenced to death and others to several years. For example, Director Lu of the subdistrict office and Yang Zhiqiang of the county industry and commerce bureau were sentenced to three years for embezzling demolition compensation."

Director Lu and Yang Zhiqiang weren't really in serious trouble, but they were investigated just to give Tian Ersan an explanation.

After the embezzlement was discovered, he was sentenced to three years in prison.

After all, this whole thing started because of those few people.

In particular, Director Lu, as the director of the subdistrict office, failed to discover and rescue the orphan Tian Ersan in time. The fact that he was only sentenced to three years for embezzlement is already a very light punishment.

Tian Ersan shook his head. "The sentence is too lenient, but I respect the judgment of the law."

Ban Lixian didn't want to get involved in legal matters, so he cautiously asked, "Would Teacher Tian be willing to go back to Zhongzhou? Our province will provide you with an office in the provincial capital, and we can handle all matters on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that Teacher Tian can run his business with peace of mind."

Tian Ersan pondered for a few seconds, but in fact, he already had a plan in mind.

As Ban Lixian and the others waited, Tian Ersan looked up at Ban Lixian.

“I don’t want to go to the provincial capital. Since part of my business is in Tao County, I’ll continue to do business in Tao County. The original place is too remote. I hope to have a larger office area in the county, preferably for my own use, with an office area, a warehouse, a large capacity, and a parking lot.”

Ban Lixian quickly replied, "These things can all be resolved in the provincial capital. The province will definitely arrange everything for you!"

Tian Ersan insisted, "I'm talking about Tao County. If we have to go to the provincial capital, I don't think it's worth continuing the discussion. There are clothing businesses everywhere, and the southern coastal cities are more suitable."

Ban Lixian gave an awkward smile.

“Okay, that’s easy. Teacher Tian’s business is doing very well now, we will definitely make the arrangements. When are you going back? We drove here, we can take you back now.”

Ban Lixian wanted to take Tian Ersan back immediately.

Tian Ersan cannot simply go back like this.

That would make me seem too cheap.

"You should resolve the matter in Tao County first. I currently have nearly 900,000 clothing orders, which can provide stable employment for at least 5,000 women in Tao County for more than a year."

"I hope to resolve the issue of the venue needed for the clothing business as soon as possible. I must ensure the safety of those people. I do not trust the people of Tao County."

Tian Ersan was very picky and didn't have a strong trust in or blind faith in his so-called hometown.

He had planned to go back a long time ago, but he wouldn't show it.

His skepticism and pickiness prompted Ban Lixian to pat his chest and say, "Don't worry, Mr. Tian, ​​I guarantee there will be absolutely no problem! The province will definitely take this matter very seriously!"

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Okay."

Ban Lixian felt much more relaxed and asked softly with concern, "I heard that Teacher Tian was criticized by the media in Shandong Province? Do you need the province's help with this?"

It wasn't the Shandong provincial media criticizing this; it was certain fish that took matters into their own hands and started biting.

Reputable media outlets wouldn't dare to criticize Tian Ersan; those who couldn't resist expressing their opinions after falling into the trap are all people abusing their public power for private gain.

Tian Ersan gave a modest smile.

"It's alright, it's all in the past. Besides, I really shouldn't have made such a big deal out of employment. It wouldn't have benefited me regardless of the outcome. These kinds of things can't be perfect, and I might have ended up with a lot of complaints."

So, taking advantage of the court flogging that had been brought before him, Tian Ersan managed to escape.

Ban Lixian solemnly promised, "Teacher Tian, ​​don't worry, the province will help us get this information forwarded."

Tian Ersan nodded. "Thank you for your help."
