Xia Ruofei stood up and gave way to Ceng Jianzhang. Then, the two of them walked side by side to the signing table that had already been prepared.
The two of them sat down behind the table, and the hostess handed them the contract of intent.
The two of them exchanged their signatures and signed again, symbolically completing the signing ceremony.
In fact, it was just a prop. The real contract of intent had already been signed in the lounge under the witness of the lawyer. It was the same logic as taking a picture of a lottery ticket with a prop check.
After all, the contract of intent involved a lot of detailed terms and conditions. Both parties were very careful. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to check the terms one by one, so it had to be signed in advance.
Although if the local government wanted to break the promise, it would basically be a situation where there was no way to sue, no matter what, the contract had to be treated carefully.
Moreover, this was a combination of interests. As long as Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory could continue to shine and continue to generate profits and taxes for Changping County and increase GDP, the possibility of Changping County breaking the promise was very low.
Besides, Xia Ruofei wasn't worried about Changping County breaking the promise or waiting for the pharmaceutical factory to start construction. If they really pissed him off, he could also not play by the rules. The head of Sanshan, Song Qiming, treated him like his own nephew. As long as he was in the right, how could he sit back and watch Changping County bully him?
After signing the contract, Xia Ruofei and Ceng Jianzhang stood up and shook hands. At the same time, they showed the contract of intent. Of course, what was shown in front of the camera was only the cover of the folder.
The reporters also pressed their shutters. Under the spotlight, Xia Ruofei, who was wearing a decent handmade suit and had a tall figure, looked radiant. Wu Liqian, who was sitting on the side of the podium, couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
She gently shook her head. After Xia Ruofei and Ceng Jianzhang returned to their seats, she said, "Next is the media's Q&A session. I will choose the media friends who will ask the questions. Before you ask, please introduce yourself. Thank you for your cooperation!"
As soon as Wu Liqian finished speaking, the reporters immediately raised their arms in unison.
"The lady in orange in the middle of the front row!" Wu Liqian pointed at a female reporter and said.
The female reporter took the microphone from the staff and said, "Thank you, host! I'd like to ask Secretary Zeng if Changping County can provide any concrete information regarding the rumors about Deputy Secretary Liu Haojun's lifestyle? "
Ceng Jianzhang's face darkened slightly. Today was their day to hold their heads up high. He didn't expect the first reporter to touch their sore spot. Wasn't this too disrespectful?
Xia Ruofei, on the other hand, kept a smile on his face. Since this matter had nothing to do with him, he would just be a quiet spectator.
Wu Liqian also frowned slightly and asked, "Reporter friend, I just reminded you to state which media you are from before you ask questions. It seems that you haven't introduced yourself yet."
Today's press conference was arranged rather hastily. The media in Changping County wasn't as well prepared as before. At least, there weren't any pre-set questions for the media. But generally speaking, the arrangement of the reporter's position was also very particular. This female reporter's seat was in the middle of the first row, which meant that the media she represented was not small.
The female reporter's face showed a trace of a reserved smile. She raised her chin slightly and said, "Sorry, I forgot! I'm a reporter from the Beijing Newspaper Group and Yanjing Ejia Network! Secretary Zeng, can you answer my question now? "
Wu Liqian couldn't help but frown slightly. New media reporters' questions were often more incisive than traditional reporters. Yanjing Ejia Network was a subsidiary of the Beijing Newspaper Group. This website wasn't just a local website. In fact, Yanjing Ejia Network had developed very rapidly in the past few years. It was already a comprehensive portal with reporters all over the country.
This was also why this female reporter could get such a good position. The staff in Changping County definitely arranged the positions according to the importance of the media.
Wu Liqian said, "Sorry, today's press conference is about the investment letter of intent signed by Changping County and the Taoyuan Company. It has nothing to do with the topic. We're …"
Ceng Jianzhang waved his hand and said, "County Head Wu, it's fine. I'll answer this question!"
Wu Liqian looked at Ceng Jianzhang, nodded slightly, and closed her mouth.
Ceng Jianzhang knew that if he didn't answer, this reporter would make a big deal out of it and Changping County would be even more passive.
In the past few days, Changping County hadn't directly responded to this question. In reality, they were very passive in public opinion. Since this reporter brought it up today, it was a good opportunity to clarify.
Of course, the reason why Ceng Jianzhang made this decision was because he felt more confident in his heart.
Ceng Jianzhang pondered for a moment and thought about how to phrase it. Then he said, "Regarding this reporter's question, we don't know the specific situation and can't confirm the authenticity of the online rumors. What I can tell you is that Comrade Liu Haojun has already officially submitted his resignation to the organization. After our report, the higher-ups have already agreed to his resignation. Just yesterday, Comrade Liu Haojun completed all the resignation procedures. In terms of organizational and administrative relations, he is no longer a person of Changping County. "
He didn't speak quickly because this speed allowed him to have more time to think and prevent him from saying the wrong thing.
The female reporter didn't want to let it go so easily. She immediately asked, "But the online rumors about catching adulterers should have happened when Liu Haojun was the Deputy Secretary, right? Shouldn't the Changping County Committee be involved in investigating this matter? "
Ceng Jianzhang smiled and said, "The investigation will definitely be carried out. However, Comrade Liu Haojun has already returned to his hometown in Beijing. The people involved in the incident you mentioned can't be contacted, so the investigation hasn't made any progress. Taking a step back, even if … I'm just assuming! Even if the online rumors are true, it's still a matter of life style. It doesn't involve official crimes. According to the organization's discipline, the heaviest punishment is internal disciplinary action. Now that Comrade Liu Haojun has already resigned, this is much more serious than internal disciplinary action … "
Ceng Jianzhang paused slightly, then continued, "Here, I sincerely hope that the media friends here can pay more attention to our Changping County's construction achievements and not focus on groundless news. If you only report on gossip, I think it will be difficult for the media to develop much. Our Changping County has a lot of things worth reporting! For example, the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory project this time will greatly stimulate the county's economic development and provide more and more jobs … "
The county committee had people who organized the information about the project and thought of possible questions from the media in advance. They also prepared answers in advance, so Ceng Jianzhang was much more fluent in this area.
"That's my answer. I hope it will satisfy this reporter." Ceng Jianzhang smiled and ended his answer.
The female reporter said, "Thank you, Secretary Ceng. I have one last question. Is that okay?"
Ceng Jianzhang definitely had to show a friendly attitude. He smiled and raised his hand. "Ladies can have special privileges! I think the other reporters won't mind. Please ask! "
The female reporter had a faint smile on her face as she asked, "Secretary Ceng, I heard that the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory project was previously handled by Deputy Secretary Liu Haojun, but there wasn't much progress. After Deputy County Head Wu was put in charge, she easily got the project in two or three days. Is that true? Is there any inside story? "
Ceng Jianzhang's face showed a hint of displeasure.
He didn't know what this female reporter's goal was, but all her questions were related to Liu Haojun. Rather than saying that she was asking a question, it was more like she was trying to checkmate him.
If he said that there was such a thing, wouldn't it mean that he didn't know the right person and made a wrong decision? If he said that there wasn't such a thing, this female reporter might immediately come up with other evidence to refute him.
Moreover, this female reporter's questions were all about Liu Haojun, which made Ceng Jianzhang feel that something was wrong.
He stared at the female reporter for a few seconds before he slowly said, "I don't know where you got this information. What I want to say is that Comrade Liu Haojun was indeed in charge of this work when he was in office. Deputy County Head Wu had been studying in Beijing before. This time, she was asked to take a leave of absence to take charge of this work because of the needs of the organization. This is just a normal division of work. There's no inside story to speak of. In addition, no work can be done overnight. The fact that Deputy County Head Wu was able to negotiate this project in such a short time is inseparable from Comrade Liu Haojun's previous fruitful work. His work laid a solid foundation for the subsequent negotiations! "
Although Liu Haojun didn't do anything, Ceng Jianzhang had to pinch his nose and praise him a few times. Otherwise, it would be difficult to answer this question that was full of traps.
Of course, Liu Haojun had already packed up and left. There was no harm in giving him a few words of praise. It was just like when a person died, the life story that was read out at the memorial service would be all kinds of praise. Even if this person had a bad record when he was alive, no one would criticize him harshly at his funeral.
After Ceng Jianzhang answered this question, Wu Liqian immediately said, "Media friends, please pay attention and don't deviate from the topic. Let's continue with the questions. Please ask the man in the striped suit on the left of the third row! "
This time, Wu Liqian specifically picked a reporter that she knew. She was worried that the situation just now would happen again.
Just now, Ceng Jianzhang had responded appropriately and didn't leave any excuses for the media.
After all, he was an old secretary who had been in the leadership position for so many years. His words were watertight.
The male reporter stood up and said, "Thank you, host. I'm a reporter from Sanshan Metropolis Daily and Sanshan Metropolis Network. This question is for Chairman Xia. I want to ask why the Taoyuan Company chose to invest and build a factory in Changping County. Will the company's strategic center turn to the production of cosmetics? Thank you! "
Xia Ruofei had been watching the show the whole time.
In fact, when the female reporter asked the second question, Xia Ruofei also felt that something was wrong. He thought of the female reporter's unit, Yanjing Ejia Network, and his heart moved slightly. This was a website under the Beijing Newspaper Group. Liu Haojun's father, Liu Bo, was a deputy director of the Beijing Publicity Department. At the same time, he was also the chairman of the Beijing Newspaper Group.
It seemed that Liu Haojun wasn't willing to admit defeat. Even if he was pulled down, he still wanted to stir things up! Xia Ruofei thought to himself.
Luckily, Changping County didn't know much about Liu Haojun's background. Otherwise, they wouldn't have arranged for the female reporter to sit in such a central position. Wu Liqian also wouldn't have asked her to ask questions.
In that case, at most, she could only ask Ceng Jianzhang questions after the press conference. But this way, the influence wouldn't be as big as the questions at the official press conference. Ceng Jianzhang could also continue to play Tai Chi.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Liu Haojun's vision was too small. He could only play such a disgusting trick. In fact, no matter how much Yanjing Ejia Network exaggerated, it would be difficult to cause any substantial damage to Changping County and the Taoyuan Company.
Xia Ruofei thought about these things in his mind, so it was inevitable that he would be distracted.
After the reporter finished his question, Xia Ruofei came back to his senses. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear it clearly. Could you please repeat it again?"
"Okay! I want to ask Chairman Xia, why did you choose Changping County to build a factory? Also, does this project mean that the Taoyuan Company's strategic center will be shifted to the production of cosmetics in the future? "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "You actually have two questions. The first question is very simple. Whether it's Changping's location or investment environment, it meets our requirements. In addition, everyone knows that the Taoyuan Company has a farm in Changping. This time, we plan to expand the scope of the farm and optimize the land acquisition plan. In the future, the pharmaceutical factory and the farm can be connected. This will be easier to manage … Of course, the most important reason is that Changping County has given us a lot of preferential policies. It can be said that they are full of sincerity! Here, I would like to thank Secretary Zeng, County Head Zhu, and Deputy County Head Wu for their support and help to the Taoyuan Company! "
Xia Ruofei paused and said, "The second question. Will the company's strategic center be shifted? In fact, the pharmaceutical factory is only one of the core businesses of the Taoyuan Company. It's undeniable that it's very profitable, but I think our company's determination to diversify won't change! After the new factory is built, half of the production line will be used to produce Yangxin soup. I hope it can help more autistic children! "
