98: Best spokesperson

Lin Zifeng and Wei Ting spent the entire afternoon at the County Committee Compound. They gave a work report to all the County Party Standing Committee Members and invited them to attend their Groundbreaking and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony.

They couldn't miss inviting any County Party Standing Committee Member for such an event; otherwise, it would be considered tactless, and people would find fault with them.

The County Party Standing Committee Members gave high praise to their work and gladly accepted their invitation.

By the time the two walked out of the County Committee Office Building, it was nearly time to get off work.

Lin Zifeng looked at Wei Ting and said with a smile, “Town Mayor, today is Friday. Go home and enjoy a good weekend!

If you don't go home soon, your husband will probably come looking for you in Heping Town.”

“We are an old married couple; it's not as exaggerated as the Secretary says. Even if I don't go home for a month, the situation the Secretary described won't happen.”

After exchanging farewells, the two got into their respective cars, and the two vehicles drove out of the County Committee Compound one after the other.

After returning home and finishing dinner with his parents, he went back to his bedroom and called Chen Yuxi.

The two chatted on the phone for a long time, sharing the pain of their separation.

Time flowed rapidly amidst Lin Zifeng's busy work schedule, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zifeng was currently at an open space in Qianshan Village, inspecting the preparations for tomorrow's Groundbreaking and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony.

The investment funds from the five Investors had all been secured.

The construction team, chosen through consultation and bidding between Heping Town and several developers, had already transported all the necessary machinery.

The construction workers had also set up temporary prefabricated houses for living, and many of these workers were recruited from nearby villages.

Everything was ready, and they just had to wait for the Groundbreaking and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony tomorrow before construction could begin simultaneously.

Lin Zifeng stood on the Temporary Podium, looking at the surrounding fences and the huge balloons floating in the air adorned with various banners, feeling immensely satisfied.

Deputy Secretary Qin Xiao, who was beside him, said, “Secretary, everything is ready. We just await the start of the ceremony tomorrow.

Villagers from the nearby villages have spontaneously come over to help these past two days, significantly speeding up our preparation work.

Former Town Mayor Wang Yongfa has been bringing the Militia over to patrol and guard every night for the past two days, afraid that someone with malicious intent might try to cause damage.

The Former Town Mayor is overly nervous; he still worries even with people on guard.”

“Being prepared prevents trouble; it's always a good thing.”

Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

At this moment, Hu Yulin quickly approached him. “Secretary, we just received notification from the County Party Committee Office that Comrade Jiang Shiyu, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and Head of the Organization Department Li Xinzhang, will be attending our Groundbreaking and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony tomorrow.”

Hu Yulin said, his face full of joy and excitement.

It was no wonder he felt this way. He had worked in Heping Town for so many years, and not only had a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee never visited, but even ordinary Deputy Department-Level Cadres hadn't come.

This was truly a first.

Qin Xiao also looked happy and excited. Lin Zifeng was delighted and said with a smile, “This is a good thing for Heping Town.

It will also greatly raise the profile of our Groundbreaking and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony.

With the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the Head of the Organization Department arriving together, they are certain to be accompanied by reporters from the Municipal Television Station.

This is a very rare opportunity to promote Heping Town, and it will be particularly effective for publicizing the development of our tourist attractions.

If we can seize this opportunity and utilize it properly, we will save a lot of promotional expenses.

Immediately notify Committee Member Jiang—never mind, let's go back to the town and hold a short meeting to discuss it properly!”

He said this while walking down from the podium.

Qin Xiao and Hu Yulin followed behind him, both thinking how quick-witted their young Secretary was!

Upon hearing that the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee was coming, he immediately thought about how to use this opportunity to benefit Heping Town.

If it were anyone else, wouldn't they be thinking about how to show off in front of the High-Ranking Leader and try to build connections with them?

Only their Secretary thought first about how to gain benefits for Heping Town from the situation.

Thinking this, the two looked at Lin Zifeng walking ahead of them, feeling that his figure seemed even taller and more imposing.

On the way back, Hu Yulin notified the other Standing Committee Members.

So, by the time Lin Zifeng and Qin Xiao walked into the conference room, everyone else had already arrived.

With many threads of work to manage, everyone was busy, so he planned to keep it brief and hold a short meeting.

He stated his ideas without preamble, finally saying, “Committee Member Jiang is responsible for our town's publicity work, and you must take the lead in accomplishing this task.

You must coordinate with CEO Chen of Yuqing Trading Company. Tomorrow, no matter what method you use, you must lead the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee to the scenic area we plan to develop. This is the best publicity spokesperson, and we cannot miss this opportunity.”

Jiang Yufei thought to herself that she had already discussed this matter with her father, and for her, it posed absolutely no difficulty.

However, to avoid revealing her connections, she deliberately paused in thought before saying, “Please rest assured, Secretary. I will put forth my full effort to complete the task you assigned.

After the meeting, I will go visit CEO Chen to discuss countermeasures.”

Lin Zifeng nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Wei Ting and asked, “Town Mayor, how is the communication with the Investors going?

They are the main characters tomorrow; they must arrive on time!”

“Secretary, CEO Chen of Yuqing Trading Company arrived in Heping Town an hour ago and is resting at the hotel!

The other four Investors will arrive in the County Seat before evening, and they all chose to stay overnight there.

Our Groundbreaking and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony will start promptly at 9:30 AM tomorrow, and they guarantee they will arrive at the venue before nine o'clock.”

Wei Ting quickly reported.

He nodded and said to everyone, “Since they have come, we must not neglect them.

We cannot lose our enthusiasm in Heping Town just because they have invested and signed contracts. We must always uphold the principle of warm hospitality toward these Investors.

How about this: Secretary Zhang, Committee Member Chen, and Head Qian, please take the trouble to make a trip to the County Seat.

Your main task is to host the four Investors well tonight and bring them back to Heping Town tomorrow morning.

The Town Mayor and I will stay here in town to oversee operations. Deputy Secretary Qin and Committee Member Jiang will be responsible for hosting and accompanying CEO Chen and his party tonight.”

Everyone agreed. He and Wei Ting then separately gave instructions regarding some detailed work, and the meeting adjourned.

Everyone walked out of the office and went about their respective tasks.

Jiang Yufei came up to him and said with a smile, “Secretary, you and CEO Chen are friends. Since he has already arrived in Heping Town, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you not to meet him, both professionally and personally?”
