Tai Man took the materials from Haori Meat Company and looked through them. "Last time at the meeting, Secretary Wang specifically mentioned that Haori Meat Company is interested in a piece of land in the south of Hualin. He didn't have any objections, so he asked me to take charge of this matter. It's a good opportunity to go and take a look. Let's start with Haori Meat Company."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Yang Chen left the County Mayor's Office and contacted the people at Haori Meat Company. After everything was arranged, he headed to Haori Meat Company with Tai Man.
Haori Meat Company is not located within the county, but it is not far from the county seat, only five kilometers away.
Tai Man and Yang Chen, along with accompanying journalists, arrived at the company. As the person in charge, Xia Qi and her team were waiting at the company's entrance early, with a banner welcoming Tai Man the county mayor for his guidance.
When Xia Qi saw the mayor's car arriving, she approached with flowers. However, her smiling face froze when she saw the person getting out of the car and exclaimed in surprise, " Yang Chen!"
Xia Qi never dreamed that the person getting out of the county mayor's car would be Yang Chen.
Yang Chen looked at the well-dressed and lightly made-up Xia Qi and said with a smile, "General Xia, are you so surprised to see me?"
"Do you know each other?" Tai Man asked as he got out of the car, curious.
Yang Chen introduced, "This is County Chief Tai."
Xia Qi heard that a young and beautiful county chief, Hualin, had arrived, but didn't expect her to be so young. She immediately put on a smile and presented a bouquet, saying, "County Chief Tai, welcome to Haori for guidance. It is an honor for both the upper and lower levels of Haori to have you here."
"Hualin, it is an honor to have a company like Haori. I am here mainly to learn, not to guide," said Tai Man, taking the flowers and handing them to Yang Chen nearby. Seeing that Yang Chen had been staring at Xia Qi, Tai Man realized that there was something between the two, no wonder Yang Chen was the first to recommend Haori.
Is this kid showing favoritism?
Ah...
Tai Man coughed and asked again, "I just heard President Xia call out Secretary Yang's name. Do you know him?"
"Of course we know him!"
"I don't know!"
Yang Chen and Xia Qi said in unison.
"One says they know each other, the other says they don't, there must be something going on between these two! Tai Man curiously asked, 'Do you really know each other or not?'
"'Mr. Xia, what do you think?' Yang Chen asked with interest."
Xia Qi was feeling a bit nervous at the moment. "Yang Chen was just sitting on the bench, how did he suddenly become the county chief's secretary?" he awkwardly smiled and said, "I've only met Secretary Yang a few times, so I can't really say I know him. County Chief Tai, let me show you around the company first."
Tai Man saw that Xia Qi was avoiding the topic between them and stopped asking. He decided to clarify with Yang Chen later and followed Xia Qi into the company for the tour.
Xia Qi took Tai Man to visit the company and recounted the history of Haori. " Haori was a brand established by my grandfather, expanded by my father, and now passed on to me. I'm afraid of tarnishing the reputation built by my father and grandfather."
"President Xia is being modest. Haori has flourished under your leadership and will surely continue to grow."
A group of people visited the company and then went to the Haori breeding base.
As they approached the breeding base, Tai Man pinched his nose.
Xia Qi hurriedly handed over the mask and said, "People who have been in the urban area for a long time can't stand the smell here, but those of us who often deal with livestock actually find these smells familiar."
"Then why is Mr. Xia still wearing a mask? Take it off and enjoy the familiar smell," teased Yang Chen from the side.
Xia Qi saw Tai Man looking at him and awkwardly smiled, saying, "Secretary Yang makes a good point."
Taking off the mask, a strong smell hit Xia Qi in the face, and he forced himself not to retch, squeezing out a stiff smile to accompany Tai Man on a tour of the breeding base.
Fortunately, Tai Man didn't stay too long, otherwise Xia Qi might not have been able to bear it.
Leaving the breeding base, the group returned to the company. Xia Qi introduced the company's plan, "Currently, Haori Meat Company mainly sells to surrounding counties and cities. Next, we are preparing to expand our business and promotion, opening up sales routes in the entire province and even the whole country."
"By doing so, our Hualin will also follow Haori Meat Company to expand nationwide."
Xia Qi exclaimed excitedly, "It will be my, Haori's honor. In order to further expand our business, we are preparing to build a factory integrating slaughter and freezing. The project proposal has already been submitted to urban area."
"I have heard about it from secretary, but I haven't had a chance to carefully review your project plan. I will definitely study it carefully when I get back and try to implement it as soon as possible."
"On behalf of all the employees of Haori, I would like to thank County Chief Tai. It's already noon, so I have asked the chef to specially prepare our own meat for you to have lunch here at Haori."
Tai Man was overwhelmed by the smell from the breeding base and lost his appetite. "I have to visit other companies later, so I won't eat now. When I have time later, I will definitely taste the meat from our Haori."
"County Chief Tai, I..."
Yang Chen interrupted Xia Qi and said, "Mr. Xia, we understand your intentions, but our schedule is already full, and we have to leave after this delay."
Tai Man stood up, shook hands with Xia Qi, and left the meeting room.
Xia Qi watched the county mayor's car drive away, feeling uneasy. She quickly took out her phone and called Zhao Na, asking, " Zhao Na, what's going on?"
"What's going on?"
"Yang Chen Why did you divorce him if he had no future and became the county chief secretary?"
Zhao Na Suddenly realized, "Oh, you're talking about this. I wanted to tell you earlier, but I forgot because of recent events. Who knew he would have such a stroke of luck and transform into the county chief secretary. Not only is he the county chief secretary, but he's also my boss. He's driving me crazy."
When it comes to Yang Chen, Zhao Na also feels extremely irritated. "Zhao Na, I offended Yang Chen because I helped you. You promised to speak up for me and persuade Wang Ji's father to allocate the land in the southern part of the city to me."
"Don't worry, I've already spoken with Wang Ji."
"How can I not be worried? Yang Chen and County Chief Tai just visited Haori. If Yang Chen speaks ill of me and Haori to the county chief, it would be troublesome if the county chief disagrees to allocate the land to Haori."
Xia Qi is aggressive in his work and has already expanded the scale of aquaculture in advance. If the cold storage cannot be implemented soon, there will be big problems sooner or later.
"The county mayor's disagreement is useless. secretary has agreed. What can an outsider county mayor do but agree obediently? Tonight, I will go find Wang Ji and have him talk to his father again."
Xia Qi hung up the phone feeling uneasy, with a sense of impending doom.
Her premonition was correct, as Yang Chen had already started speaking ill of Haori. However, Yang Chen's criticism of Haori was not entirely self-serving, but also for the sake of the people of Hualin.
