The Secret of the Yoga Club: The Women's Identity is Not Simple

Xiao Chen from the Legal Department opened his laptop, ready to take meeting minutes. Sitting opposite him were County Head Zhang, Director Sun from the Investment Promotion Bureau, Director Ma from the Agriculture Bureau, and two recorders—quite a large group.

"You're too kind, County Chief Zhang. Shu Ke's investment in building a factory in Ning County this time is due to his recognition of the potential of the goji berry industry here, as well as the strong support from the county. I've brought my legal and business representatives with me today. Let's go through the contract terms one by one, and resolve any issues on the spot, aiming to sign it today."

"Good! General Manager Lin is very decisive. Director Sun, bring the land use approval documents to General Manager Lin. Director Ma, also bring the statistical data on goji berry growers in our county, so that General Manager Lin has a clear understanding."

Director Sun placed a thick file bag in front of Lin Feng, which contained the red line map of the site for the processing plant, the land use approval form, and the preliminary environmental impact assessment opinion.

Lin Feng took the document and flipped through it page by page, then handed it to Chen, the legal counsel next to him, for verification. Chen looked at it carefully for a moment, nodded to Lin Feng, and said in a low voice, "The land use and boundary are fine, and the preliminary environmental impact assessment comments are complete." Lin Feng put the document back on the table, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"There's no problem with the land use. Regarding tax incentives, can the income tax reduction plan promised by County Head Zhang be implemented in the contract terms today?"

"President Lin, please rest assured, I've already discussed the tax incentives with the Municipal Tax Bureau. According to regulations, newly established agricultural product processing enterprises that invest in and build factories in impoverished counties can enjoy certain income tax reductions. We can discuss the specific duration and percentage further. How many years do you think would be appropriate?"

"County Chief Zhang previously made a verbal promise that the tax would be waived for the first few years and halved for the following years. Now that we've signed a formal contract, I hope we can extend the tax exemption period further. Shuke's investment in Ning County is substantial, from the processing plant to the cold chain transit warehouse, plus the later renovation of the planting base and logistics support. The total investment has more than doubled compared to the previous estimate. The larger the investment, the longer the payback period, and the strength of the tax incentives directly affects our confidence in future investments."

County Magistrate Zhang and Director Sun exchanged a glance and pondered for a moment. Director Sun leaned close to County Magistrate Zhang's ear and whispered a few words. County Magistrate Zhang nodded, looked up at Lin Feng, and spoke sincerely.

"Mr. Lin, your request does exceed the authority of our county. Extending the exemption period requires city approval. But rest assured, since Shuke is willing to invest so much money in Ning County, I, as the county head, will do everything I can to secure this policy for you. How about this—today, we'll draft the contract according to the maximum limit stipulated by the province. For the portion exceeding that, I'll issue a supplementary agreement in the name of the county government, and we'll formally add it to the contract after the city approves it. Does that sound acceptable?"

Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Okay, let's do as County Chief Zhang says. Sign the supplementary agreement today as well, and have the legal department write out the terms clearly." He turned his head and whispered a few words to Wang Yue, who immediately opened her laptop and began drafting the first draft of the supplementary agreement.

After reviewing the contract text, both parties signed and stamped the agreement, and exchanged copies. Lin Feng, representing the Shuke Group, and County Head Zhang, representing the Ning County Government, shook hands and posed for a photo, with several camera flashes. County Head Zhang shook Lin Feng's hand vigorously.

"President Lin, the contract is signed, so we're all family now! From now on, Shuke's affairs are Ning County's affairs. If there's anything that needs the county's coordination, just give me a call, and I'll handle it personally!"

"County Chief Zhang is very helpful. The infrastructure construction for the processing plant will officially start next month. We will need the county's support in terms of labor and building material transportation."

"No problem! I'll have the Transportation Bureau open a green channel for you, exempting your construction material transport vehicles from inspection. As for labor, the county can help you organize job fairs and give priority to hiring local workers, which will also help solve our employment problem."

After leaving the meeting room, County Chief Zhang insisted on having another meal with Lin Feng, but Lin Feng politely declined, saying that he had other matters to attend to at the company and would definitely pay a visit next time he came to Ning County.

He asked Wang Yue to put the signed contract and supplementary agreement into his briefcase, and then shook hands with Director Sun and Director Ma to say goodbye.

Back in the car, Wang Yue placed her briefcase on the back seat and started the engine. Lin Feng leaned back in the passenger seat, watching her long, slender legs, clad in black stockings, switch between the brake and accelerator, and couldn't help but smile.

Lin Feng had Wang Yue drive him around the goji berry fields in Ning County. He parked the car next to an open space at the east end of the village, pointed to the area, and said that the processing plant would be built there. He told Wang Yue to finalize the design drawings as soon as possible after returning home, and to prioritize the construction company they had previously worked with on the Bailong tea cold storage project, as they were experienced and could guarantee the construction schedule.

Wang Yue listened and took notes, occasionally glancing up at Lin Feng. She noticed that he seemed different today, more relaxed, with a faint smile on his face.

Having been with him for so long, I know that this kind of relaxation only occurs in two situations—either when I'm in a particularly good mood, or when I've recently vented.

It seems like both are true.

Lin Feng drove around for a while and parked the car in a very secluded place. He placed his hand on Wang Yue's thigh, gently stroking it through the thin black stockings, and said, "I slept with Ma Qingqing last night."

"Really? Mr. Lin, you've finally made your move! I thought you'd have to wait a while longer. This girl has been subtly hinting at you lately, saying how wonderful you are, how you've given her a chance, how you've taken care of her—I was thinking to myself, isn't this the prelude to falling for you? Now, it's all good, from now on we're family at the company. When are you planning to take me?"

"Wait until I get back from Kyoto. You did a great job this time, from the centralized procurement department to the new product line, and then to the inspection arrangements in Ning County. You did a great job every step of the way. You deserve a reward—I happen to have some time now, so I'll reward you with a spoken English lesson." Lin Feng gathered Wang Yue's hair together in his hand, looking at her delicate and capable face and her long legs wrapped in black stockings.

after an hour……

"Mr. Lin, can you get a perfect score this time?"

"Perfect score. The rhythm was much more stable than last time, with no pauses in between. The improvement is obvious. I'll continue after I get back from Kyoto."

Wang Yue nodded in satisfaction, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle to rinse her mouth, undid the buttons of her work shirt, tidied her messy hair in front of the small mirror on the sun visor, and returned to her usual capable and composed secretary appearance.

Lin Feng rolled down the car window to let in some fresh air. The wind blew in, carrying the fresh scent of soil and fruit from the goji berry field.

Leaning back in my seat, looking at the empty plot of land in the distance that was about to become a processing plant, I felt that my plans were gradually becoming a reality.

Wang Yuqing went to Yunnan, Chen Liangliang completely withdrew from the political stage, Shen Ping successfully took over, the Ningxian processing plant was about to start construction, and Ma Qingqing also became his woman.

He lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke.

Once things are settled in Kyoto, the next target should be the provincial capital, Zijin City. After Shen Ping takes office, the province's resources will gradually be tilted towards Shuke. In Zijin City, He Qianwen's provincial capital project is also underway. At that time, with Shuke and Tianlong advancing on two fronts simultaneously, coupled with Longlin's territorial advantage in Hehai, the entire Jiangbei Province's chessboard will be completely revitalized.

He flicked the cigarette butt into the car ashtray, started the car, and drove towards the hotel.
