220: Sufficient respect must be shown.
Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi finished breakfast together, tidied up a bit, and then left the house one after another to head to work.
"Zhongyu, make arrangements. After lunch today, we will head to Heping Town. I need to attend a welcome banquet in the evening, and I haven't been to Heping Town for a while. Let's take this opportunity to go back and take a look!"
Lin Zifeng got into the car, and just as Li Qiang drove out of the Residential Community, he spoke up.
"Understood, County Magistrate. I will make sure the other work for the afternoon is arranged," Wang Zhongyu said quickly.
"Is there any work scheduled for the morning?" Lin Zifeng asked.
"County Magistrate Ouyang and Director Zhu from the Public Security Bureau need to report to you. Originally, the Secretary of Hetao Town and the Town Mayor of Miaoshan Town were scheduled to report to you this afternoon. You didn't have any trips scheduled for today. I will notify them to come in the morning instead, and I will manage the schedule," Wang Zhongyu said thoughtfully.
Lin Zifeng nodded and said, "Arrange it as you see fit. I will manage the pace of my time well."
They arrived at the County Committee Compound, and not long after reaching the Office, Ouyang Huahua came to his Office.
The morning passed quickly. Having compressed a whole day's work into the morning, he didn't even have time to go to the restroom.
It wasn't until after twelve o'clock that he finally saw the Town Mayor of Miaoshan Town out of his Office.
Lin Zifeng went to the restroom briefly, then went to have lunch accompanied by Wang Zhongyu.
After lunch, Lin Zifeng didn't even return to the Office; he got straight into the car, left the County Committee Compound, and headed toward Heping Town.
Over an hour later, Li Qiang drove into Heping Town. Lin Zifeng didn't let him drive into the Town Government compound; instead, as soon as they entered the street, he had Li Qiang pull over to the side of the road.
"Zhongyu, Qiang Zi, I'm just going to walk around a bit, you don't need to follow me. Qiang Zi, you can take this opportunity to go home and visit. Just come to the Town Government at six o'clock sharp to pick me up."
The two had been working by his side for a long time and understood his temperament, so they didn't say anything. They agreed, and after he got out of the car, they drove away.
Lin Zifeng was very familiar with the environment here, so he avoided the crowded areas and took a side path toward the dormitories behind the government building.
In less than ten minutes, he arrived in front of the very familiar door. He reached out and pushed it gently, and the door opened in response.
As soon as he stepped inside and closed the door, a delicate body hugged him tightly from behind.
Everything went without saying. More than two hours later, the two were fully dressed, sitting together, cuddling and whispering to each other.
"Zifeng, our Yingjianzui Scenic Area has already made a name for itself, and our annual economic revenue is increasing year by year. Now that we have welcomed the Xianxia Drama Film Crew, this is the best boost for promoting the scenic area. In the future, the scenic area's economic revenue and influence will continue to grow. Heping Town's other economic pillars are also developing better and better. I believe that within the next three years, our Heping Town can compete for the top spot among the top ten towns in the province. When we first came to work in Heping Town, it was still the poorest town in Yushu County in every aspect. This is a miracle you created with your own hands; I am proud of you," Jiang Yufei said, sharing in the glory.
"This isn't just my achievement alone. The initial materials and plans were all completed by your own hands; you are also a creator of this!"
The two chatted affectionately for nearly an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Zifeng spoke again: "Yufei, are you going to attend the welcome banquet tonight?"
"I won't be attending. Secretary Wei will represent Heping Town. It's getting late, you should go to the Town Government in the front! I've already reported to the Office that I'm not feeling well, so I won't be going to the Town Government this afternoon."
Lin Zifeng agreed, said goodbye to Jiang Yufei, and came to the door. He observed through the window for a while, and seeing no one outside, he left quickly.
Arriving at the main entrance of the Town Government, he ran into Hu Yulin head-on.
Seeing Lin Zifeng appear before him, Hu Yulin came over with a big smile, shaking his hand while happily saying: "County Magistrate, you're here? How come I didn't see your car?"
"I've been here for a while. I just walked around the town a bit; I didn't want to disturb you. I let Qiang Zi drive home to take a look; he'll be here to pick me up shortly," he said with a smile.
"County Magistrate, please, come in. Let's go to the Office to talk." Hu Yulin enthusiastically ushered Lin Zifeng inside, and they went to the Small Meeting Room, where staff brought tea.
Hu Yulin then spoke again: "County Magistrate, Secretary Wei has gone to the scenic area, and Town Mayor Jiang is not feeling well; she took sick leave this afternoon. Do you want me to call and notify Secretary Wei?"
"No need. Secretary Wei will likely attend the welcome banquet tonight directly, so don't make her run back and forth. I'll be heading over there shortly too," Lin Zifeng said, putting down his teacup.
He chatted with Hu Yulin for over ten minutes before Wang Zhongyu walked in from outside. After greeting Hu Yulin, he turned to Lin Zifeng and said, "County Magistrate, I just received a call from Secretary Wan's Secretary. Secretary Wan will be here soon. The message from Secretary Wan's Secretary is that he wants to travel with you to the Multifunctional Hotel."
Lin Zifeng stood up, shook hands with Hu Yulin to say goodbye, and walked out of the Small Meeting Room.
Accompanied by Hu Yulin, Lin Zifeng got into the car, and Li Qiang drove it out of the Town Government compound.
After driving a few hundred meters, they stopped by the side of the road to wait for Wan Guoliang's arrival.
A few minutes later, Wan Guoliang's car drove up. After Li Qiang honked to greet the other driver, he drove and followed behind.
At this time, the Multifunctional Hotel was no longer accepting other tourists; the entire hotel had been booked by the Xianxia Drama Film Crew.
Over a hundred crew members, along with Director Li Li, more than ten main actors, and over twenty special actors, had all checked into the Multifunctional Hotel.
In the second-floor lobby of the Multifunctional Hotel, fifteen dining tables were set up; these were prepared for the staff and special actors.
In a large private room on the side, two large dining tables were set up; these were prepared for the director, main actors, and the County Leaders.
Director Li Li and the main actors were all dressed formally. The reason they attached such great importance to this was because Li Li had held a small meeting beforehand.
At the meeting, he directly announced the guarantee from Yushu County: they would not only mobilize police force to protect their personal safety but also help maintain order during the filming period.
Furthermore, the person in charge of the scenic area also stated that the scenic area's staff cafeteria would provide them with working meals and drinking water at noon.
This was the best filming environment he had ever encountered. Since the other party was so sincere, they also had to show them sufficient respect.
Hearing Li Li's account, the members of the creative team were happy and also attached great importance to the welcome banquet in the evening.
Zhao Liqiang, Cao Shuang, Xu Minghao, Wei Ting, and Li Yang, the five County Party Standing Committee Members, along with the Director of the Culture Bureau, had already arrived ahead of time. The other County Party Standing Committee Members were not planning to attend the welcome banquet.
Chen Yuxi also appeared here with a female assistant, and at this moment, both sides were drinking tea and chatting.
