Traveling through the Great Northern Wilderness and marrying the most beautiful educated youth.

Su Qingyun smiled wryly: "Secretary Dong, this is too scary."

"If I make an inappropriate request, I'm afraid another leader will suffer."

Dong Guangping's expression was stern: "Whoever slows down the development of the prefectural committee, I'll strip them of their position!"

Everyone present turned serious and became secretly alert.

At this moment, you can't afford to offend Su Qingyun, no matter who else you offend!

Seeing Dong Guangping's resolute attitude, Su Qingyun felt relieved.

He thought for a moment and then said, "I have one last condition."

"All workers recruited by the paper mill must be granted urban household registration."

People in later generations no longer value household registration.

But now, household registration is an insurmountable barrier.

There is a world of difference between rural and urban household registration.

Whether it's healthcare, education, or employment, urban residents enjoy the greatest benefits.

Many beautiful girls are even willing to sacrifice their happiness in order to marry into the city and obtain an urban household registration.

Su Qingyun's construction of the paper mill was certainly not solely for the benefit of the local government and its citizens.

We must also fight for our rights.

"Urban household registration..." Dong Guangping pondered.

Once the paper mill starts operating, it will require at least a thousand workers.

Even if 30% of the jobs are filled by farmers, 300 urban residency permits will still be granted.

This is no small number; there are quotas for the number of households registered each year.

However… Dong Guangping said seriously, “Okay, I will go to the provincial government to apply in person.”

He was willing to do everything in his power for the paper mill.

"Okay, thank you for your sincerity, Secretary Dong. I'd like to propose a toast to you." Su Qingyun stood up.

"Great! Wishing you a successful factory construction!"

"If you have any questions, come to me anytime!" Dong Guangping downed his drink in one gulp.

With all the conditions agreed upon, the atmosphere in the private room became more relaxed.

Everyone is looking forward to a bright future.

Just as the banquet was about to end, an uninvited guest arrived in a hurry.

"Secretary Dong, I'm so sorry!"

"I...I failed in my job; it was my dereliction of duty!"

A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle jogged into the private room.

He was covered in sweat, his shirt collar was soaked, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

He was also carrying two bottles of wine.

It was none other than Old Qin, the director of the Land Bureau.

He entered the house, and ran to Dong Guangping in a state of fear and trepidation, immediately admitting his mistake.

Dong Guangping merely glanced at him indifferently, not even bothering to say a word.

Cold sweat dripped down Lao Qin's forehead, drop by drop.

It was the dead of winter outside, yet he was covered in sweat, showing just how anxious he was.

He originally thought it was just an ordinary banquet, one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons, nothing special.

He was thinking of going to check out his son's blind date.

The blind date went smoothly; the other party was a female cadre from the forest farm.

To my surprise, I suddenly received a notification from the deputy secretary.

Dong Guangping got angry and repeated what he had said.

Old Qin was so frightened he almost died instantly.

He immediately disregarded everything and charged straight at them.

Despite rushing, the dinner party was still going strong.

Old Qin was quite capable, and originally had some influence with Dong Guangping.

But today, they showed absolutely no mercy.

Old Qin knew that once he left this door today, the transfer order would come down tomorrow.

Secretary Dong is very strict and doesn't tolerate any nonsense.

His eyes swept over Su Qingyun, as if he had grasped at a straw.

"You must be Comrade Su Qingyun?" He adjusted his breathing and forced a smile as he asked.

"Yes, that's me." Su Qingyun nodded calmly.

The affairs of the prefectural committee were under the jurisdiction of Dong Guangping, and had nothing to do with him.

He also had no intention of interfering.

But Old Qin's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:

"Comrade Qingyun, I'm a cousin of Qin Beiguang, the director of the forest farm!"

"Speaking of which, Chu Yu is actually my niece!"

"Huh?" Su Qingyun was taken aback and carefully examined his appearance.

To be honest, although he was balding and overweight, his facial features did resemble Qin Beiguang quite a bit.

"Do you know Bei Guang and Chu Yu?" Old Qin stared at Su Qingyun hopefully.

"Yes, I know him. What a coincidence." Su Qingyun nodded, not denying it.

"Then, you must forgive me! I'll host a banquet to apologize to you!"

Old Qin placed two bottles of wine on the table; these were prepared for the woman's parents.

I was planning to drink it at the engagement, but now I'm in a rush, so I have to bring it out.

Li Huaimin, who was standing nearby, chuckled when he saw this.

Sorghum liquor! It seems this land bureau chief has a wide network of connections.

Old Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This is the best wine from our prefectural committee, given to me by Qin Beiguang!"

"Ordinary people simply can't buy this!" He pushed the wine towards Su Qingyun as if it were a treasure.

Su Qingyun felt somewhat helpless.

What's wrong with me today? I have plenty of this wine at home.

Li Huaimin almost burst out laughing.

But looking at the serious atmosphere in the private room, and Director Qin's anxious expression, he was surprised.

He could only endure it.

"Director Qin, thank you very much."

Faced with such kindness, Su Qingyun had no choice but to accept it.

After all, this is Qin Chuyu's relative. If I don't help her, that girl will definitely make trouble for me.

Thinking of her adorable appearance, I really miss her.

When Lao Qin saw that Su Qingyun had accepted the wine, he was immediately delighted, secretly pleased that he had gotten lucky.

When Qin Chuyu went on a blind date, she came over because the other party was a female cadre at the forest farm. She was on vacation at home.

Upon hearing Lao Qin mention Su Qingyun's name, he said he knew her.

This made Lao Qin extremely happy; otherwise, how could he have gotten involved with Su Qingyun?

Su Qingyun considered for a moment and looked at Dong Guangping.

"Secretary Dong, this Director Qin has some connection with me."

"It's better to use what you know than what you don't. I think things will go more smoothly with his cooperation regarding the land."

"Look..." Su Qingyun said in a pleading tone.

After all, personnel matters involving the prefectural committee are not something ordinary people can interfere with.

After hearing this, Dong Guangping looked at Lao Qin.

Originally, he had made up his mind to take down Lao Qin.

But after Su Qingyun pleaded for him, he thought it over and decided to let it go.

After all, this whole thing started because of Su Qingyun, and since he pleaded for her, she could take this opportunity to do him a favor.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Qingyun speaking up for you..."

"You can go fishing at the reservoir tomorrow," Dong Guangping said indifferently.

Old Qin was startled.

If you were to be kicked into a reservoir, that would be worse than killing yourself.

Hearing Dong Guangping say that, the matter was considered closed.

Old Qin expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

"By the way, Director Qin."

"Is Chu Yu at home on vacation?" Su Qingyun asked, a thought popping into her head.

"Uh, she's at home."

"It seems she's complaining that you don't go to see her," Old Qin said with a wry smile.

I didn't originally intend to say this, but since Su Qingyun asked, it was a good opportunity to chat about everyday things.

"This girl..." Su Qingyun touched his nose.

It's been a long time, I'll go see her tomorrow.
