96: Three more investments have been received in Heping Town
They spent the afternoon visiting four villages, and by the time they returned to the town, the lights were already coming on.
After a quick wash and freshen up, the group returned to the Flavor Restaurant.
Since they had prepared in advance, dinner was even more sumptuous than lunch, and of course, there was plenty of liquor to help build rapport.
Given Lin Zifeng's capacity for alcohol, he was already seven or eight parts drunk, so one could imagine how the others were doing.
The female Comrades were better off; after all, they had the advantage, and no one would push them too hard to drink, though they still ended up with flushed, pretty faces.
Wei Ting, who had a high tolerance for alcohol, even took the initiative several times, drinking over a jin of White Liquor.
Consequently, the five battle-hardened bosses were also quite drunk; when they walked out of the Flavor Restaurant, they, like Cao Shuang and the others, were swaying as they walked.
Wang Zhenfa shook his hand, his form of address having changed from Secretary Lin to "Little Brother."
"Hahaha, you're a real man, Little Brother! My friends and I have traveled far and wide, but I've rarely met an opponent like you at the dinner table. This has given me a new level of respect for you. Thank you and everyone else for your generous hospitality; let's find another time to spar again."
"Brother Wang, one's character is reflected in how they drink, and you and your brothers are truly legendary drinkers who never get drunk! I admire you. I'll have someone take you and your brothers to rest, and we can continue our sparring tomorrow."
Hearing what he said, Hu Yulin hurried over. The group said their goodbyes at the door, and Hu Yulin took his people to accompany them to the hotel.
As he walked toward the Town Government with the group, Zhang Zhenhua moved closer to him and said while walking, "Secretary, today has been the most enjoyable day I've had in Heping Town in years. I used to be too selfish. Thank you for letting bygones be bygones and for allowing me to reintegrate into our collective team."
Emboldened by the alcohol, Zhang Zhenhua admitted his mistakes to him.
Although the two of them hadn't had any direct, open conflicts, they both knew in their hearts that there had been a rift between them before.
Lin Zifeng understood what he meant, so he smiled and said, "Everyone has selfish motives; I am no exception, provided the overall direction doesn't go astray. Secretary Zhang, your ability to let go of the past is truly admirable. In the future, if we work together to push forward the work in Heping Town, the things we want will naturally appear before us."
After saying this, Lin Zifeng reached out his hand first. Zhang Zhenhua shook his hand tightly, nodded forcefully, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Hearing the conversation between the two, the others smiled from the bottom of their hearts but said nothing.
The group parted ways at the gate of the Town Government; those whose homes were in Heping Town found their own way back. People like Cao Shuang went to stay in the duty room.
Wei Ting and Qin Xiao also walked with Lin Zifeng and Jiang Yufei toward the collective dormitory in the back.
As they walked, Wei Ting jokingly said, "Secretary, I and Deputy Secretary Qin only stay in the dormitory occasionally, but you live here long-term and rarely go home! You should start a family sooner; otherwise, life living in the dormitory long-term isn't easy! I wonder what kind of girl would be lucky enough to have that blessing?"
She had drunk quite a bit tonight; otherwise, she wouldn't have said such things.
"Town Mayor, you're mistaken. The Secretary isn't the only one who lives in the dormitory long-term; isn't our Committee Member Jiang the same?"
Before Lin Zifeng could speak, Qin Xiao blurted this out. After saying it, she realized it was a bit inappropriate and quickly added, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything else by it."
It would have been better if Qin Xiao hadn't added that; her clarification only made it feel like she was protesting too much.
Jiang Yufei's heart was racing. She snuck a glance at Lin Zifeng before saying, "The Secretary and I just have a pure working relationship, and we are good friends, that's all. You mustn't let your imaginations run wild. Otherwise, I won't be able to continue living in the dormitory in the future."
"A straight tree is not afraid of crooked shadows; the eyes of the masses are sharp. Yufei, you don't need to worry so much." He said with an indifferent expression.
Hearing what the two said, Wei Ting and Qin Xiao thought to themselves that the two people in front of them were a perfect match, and even if sparks of love were to fly, it would be the most normal thing in the world.
Besides, both of them were single and didn't even have partners, so even if they were dating, it would be normal, and no one could say anything about it.
However, this involved the Secretary's personal privacy, so in the future, they definitely couldn't say such things again.
Thinking of this, the two women actively changed the subject. The four of them chatted as they returned to the collective dormitory and went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Wang Zhenfa and his group stayed in Heping Town for three days. Lin Zifeng and the other team members did their best to host and accompany them.
It must be said that although Wang Zhenfa couldn't invest in the aquatic business in Heping Town for various reasons, under his mediation, Zhao Dezhi, who was in the hotel business, decided to invest in a Multifunctional Hotel in the Dawa Village area.
The hotel he was going to invest in was a Multifunctional Hotel that combined dining, accommodation, bathing, and KTV, with an estimated investment of 20 million.
Zhang Hua, who was in the electric scooter business, was even more taken with the cheap labor in the Heping Town area. He decided to invest in an electric scooter factory that integrated parts processing and assembly, with an estimated investment of 30 million.
Boss Zheng, who was in the transportation business, also indicated that once the transportation volume in Heping Town increased, he would also consider establishing a branch in Heping Town.
Li Lin, who was in the packaging business and had a deep partnership with Zhang Hua, also decided to invest 5 million to build a packaging processing plant near the electric scooter factory. In addition to doing business for the electric scooter factory, he would also take on some local business for processing gift boxes and packaging boxes.
The three bosses signed the investment contracts on the spot. Heping Town brought in another 55 million in investment, and combined with the two previous investment contracts, the total investment reached 120 million.
Not to mention Heping Town, even for the entire Yushu County, this was a major move.
On the morning after seeing Wang Zhenfa and his group off, the recent events in Heping Town spread quickly. Now that the contracts had been signed, there was no need to hide anything, so Lin Zifeng and the others didn't mind.
The Cadres and masses of Heping Town were naturally very happy. Walking on the streets of Heping Town, and in every corner of the villages, people were happily discussing this matter, as lively as if it were the New Year.
This was a major matter that concerned their vital interests, so how could they not be happy?
In their hearts, the current leadership team of Heping Town had truly become the team that did practical things for the common people.
Lin Zifeng's prestige in Heping Town soared, and no matter who mentioned his name, they would give a thumbs up and praise him.
Even ordinary staff from Heping Town working outside now received respect and support from the masses; this was the subtle change brought about by genuinely doing practical things for the common people. It was also the most direct way for the common people to give back to them.
The common people were simple and kind; if they felt your kindness toward them, they would treat you even better in return.
