If Fang Guoqing was a little suspicious of Song Zhichao at the beginning, then now, after hearing Song Zhichao’s words, he seemed to understand something.

Nowadays, the country has vigorously supported government departments in various regions to develop the economy wholeheartedly and let the people have enough food. Therefore, all provinces, cities, and even every county and town are actively responding to the central government’s call, striving to attract investment and realize the grand strategy of economic development.

But is investment promotion so easy?

It's like having a daughter in the family who wants to recruit a son-in-law. If you don't have enough conditions, who will come to get into the door for you?

Nandu City is located in the heart of the Central Plains. Although it is rich in nature and has outstanding people, it is a inland area and does not belong to a transportation hub. It is too closed inside and outside. Even if there are good resources and good minerals, it cannot get out.

As the top leader of the investment promotion department, Fang Guoqing is deeply touched by this.

Especially in recent investment projects, due to inconvenient transportation, the overseas Chinese from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as foreign investment merchants, basically came here to eat, drink, brag, and then left without leaving a penny, but instead let the investment and promotion department pay a lot of money.

Nowadays, major cities in the province are engaged in "big competitions" for investment promotion, especially after the Chinese New Year, the provincial selection will be started to see which city has the best investment promotion benefits and achievements.

Fang Guoqing and others gathered together to study and it was over. This year, the investment promotion results of Nandu City turned out to be negative.

What is this concept?

It is just that you did not do practical things for the people and brought benefits, but instead caused the government to lose a lot of money. To put it bluntly, you just did something and didn't do anything.

Fang Guoqing is overwhelmed.

What should I do? It’s not that they don’t work hard, it’s that those foreign-funded enterprises and overseas Chinese are too cunning and they don’t like this, so how can they attract investment?

Now, the test papers are almost handed over, and the scores are still negative. If you are criticized by yourself, it will probably affect Shangfeng's impression of Nandu. If you may be able to allocate funds to do infrastructure, it will be postponed.

At this moment, Fang Guoqing accidentally saw Song Zhichao's "investment remittance", and then his mind began to be active.

...

"This is the general reason." Fang Guoqing told Song Zhichao, "At present, the investment projects in our city are not good, and it can be said that there is not. No one is willing to invest in Nandu, which makes our investment promotion department useless. Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that our answer this time is not qualified, and it is likely to affect the construction and development of Nandu City in the future. At that time, we will become the sinners of Nandu City."

Fang Guoqing sighed, his face showing embarrassment and shame.

Song Haiming didn't understand this, so he just poured tea and water for them, and ordered his wife Wang Jinfeng to prepare some wine and food. After all, it was almost noon after a drink with the leaders. He couldn't let others go back hungry.

Wang Jinfeng is a very simple rural woman. Of course, she would not let others go home hungry. She immediately asked her daughter Song Yuqing to go to the kitchen with her to work.

Song Yuqing was not happy, so she pouted and looked forward to playing with Du Chunmei and the others, and she didn't want to be driven into the kitchen to help.

On this side, Song Zhichao didn't say anything after hearing Fang Guoqing's words because he knew that no matter what he said at this time, he would give the other party an illusion that he would take care of this business. If he didn't do it at that time, he would slap himself in the face. Therefore, before he could care, he would be deaf and dumb first and not reply.

Fang Guoqing and the others came to the Song family this time to hope that Song Zhichao would help. To be precise, they came to ask Song Zhichao for help. At the beginning, they made a mistake like Chen Baoguo, that is, they were too arrogant.

Song Zhichao has nothing to do with this person, but he just can't stand others' airs and care about what director and minister you are. Since you are here to ask me for help, then lower your identity and don't use official power to suppress me. I won't take this trick.

Seeing that Song Zhichao took a fire stick and pulled out the charcoal fire in the basin, he remained silent.

Fang Guoqing couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He felt that his "speak" just now was already full of expressions, but he didn't expect that he could not touch the other party.

At this time, the subordinates who followed Fang Guoqing were a little anxious and spoke to Song Zhichao, "Comrade Song, we Minister Fang rarely asks people in person, let alone come to you to greet you in person, but these are all sincere!"

Song Zhichao looked up at the man, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking like a secretary.

"Full sincerity?" Song Zhichao smiled, pulled out the three roasted sweet potatoes that his mother Wang Jinfeng had thrown in, then picked up one of the largest ones and blew them, and handed them to Fang Guoqing and said, "Come on, eat sweet potatoes."

Fang Guoqing was stunned for a moment and took a look at the black roasted sweet potatoes that were grilled by charcoal fire.

You know, he is the head of the Investment Promotion Department. He usually receives prominent foreign-funded enterprises, or big businessmen from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. He enters and leaves very high-end hotels, VIP rooms, and eats delicacies, and drinks all Maotai Wuliangye. He is not his favorite food and drinks. He mainly enters and enters foreign guests and overseas Chinese. He can't let people eat braised vegetables. How can he attract investment if he makes a meal at a street food stall?

Because of this, Fang Guoqing's life can be said to be "brilliant and elegant" and never had any food like roasted sweet potatoes. So when Song Zhichao asked him to eat roasted sweet potatoes, he was a little surprised to worry about his image. He chewed sweet potatoes with black mouths, and it was so ugly that it was heard.

Fang Guoqing hesitated. The male secretary couldn't help but stand up and help rescue him, "This sweet potato is well roasted, why not let me eat it!"

After saying that, the male secretary was about to reach out to pick up the roasted sweet potato that Song Zhichao was holding.

Song Zhichao shrank his hand and the other party took a break.

Male secretary “…”

What does it mean? Look at Song Zhichao.

Song Zhichao smiled and said, "You are not worthy!"

The male secretary suddenly angrily said "you"

You know, he was with Fang Guoqing for a long time. Although he was just a secretary, others did not dare to underestimate him when they saw him. Instead, they were respectful to him and were very afraid of offending him. They made a report in front of Fang Guoqing, but Song Zhichao did not give him any face at all. How could he not be angry?

Seeing the atmosphere solidified, Chen Baoguo couldn't speak out on the side. After all, one was Minister Fang's secretary and the other was the person he asked for, and he could not be offended.

On the contrary, Song Haiming came over at this time and saw the male secretary and his son fighting for a sweet potato. He didn't know what happened, so he said politely, "Everyone doesn't need to grab it, nor does he have to fight for it. There are so many sweet potatoes. At worst, I can roast a few more for everyone. The fire is very strong, and it will be good in a while!"

Fang Guoqing "..."

Male secretary “…”

Chen Baoguo and others "..."

Even Song Zhichao was almost amused by his father's throat.

After all, Fang Guoqing is a person in the officialdom. He knows how to seize the opportunity and measure. He makes a quick decision and says to Song Zhichao, "I haven't eaten roasted sweet potatoes for a long time. I remember eating them often when I was a child. Not only did they eat sweet potatoes, but also raw corn cobs. Of course, I also ate mulberry leaves in the most difficult time, and even tree bark should know how to remember the bitterness and sweetness. Take it, let me recall the hard days of the past!"

Song Zhichao smiled and handed him the roasted sweet potatoes.

Fang Guoqing took the roasted sweet potatoes, and the male secretary next to him hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and signaled him to wrap the sweet potatoes in the handkerchief and not to get their hands dirty.

Fang Guoqing shook his head, and instead patted the black ash on the sweet potato with his hand, uncovered the skin, and ate it without thinking it was dirty, then looked at Song Zhichao and smiled and said, "It's so sweet!"
