A trace of pity flashed in Chen Tan's eyes. Jiang Wan was a woman who couldn't be more beautiful. Her face and skin didn't look like someone from the countryside. Her supple skin was enough to put those rich ladies who wore layers of skincare products to shame. Chen Tan had his eyes on her the moment he saw her. Unfortunately, this woman had a bit of chastity. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seduce her.
It's a pity that I can't make it in time. Chen Tan said half-jokingly. Then why hasn't Jiang Wan arrived yet?
She should be here soon. I originally wanted to get someone to pick her up, but this woman was afraid of being seen and causing gossip, so she insisted on coming herself. Chen Quanqing glanced at Chen Tan and secretly called him an old pervert. He was already in his fifties or sixties, but he still enjoyed women all day. Not only did he keep a little canary in the county, Chen Quanqing also knew that Chen Tan had an affair with at least one or two female staff members in the town government office. Wasn't he afraid of dying on a woman's belly one day? But then again, Chen Quanqing admired Chen Tan's old bones. He could still play around at this age. He was still strong despite his old age.
Chen Xing and Wan Zhi were in the next box, but they didn't know that Chen Quanqing and Wan Zhi were in the next box. He was still wondering why Wan Zhi took the initiative to invite him tonight. Chen Xing and Wan Zhi chatted and laughed as they sat down. Tonight, Chen Xing wanted to discuss the reform of the county textile factory with Wan Zhi. In recent years, the county textile factory had been unable to make ends meet. Not only did it not generate profits for the county, but it also increased the county's financial burden. Chen Xing hoped that this state-owned enterprise in the county could turn losses into profits. It was normal for him to learn from Wan Zhi, a professional in the textile industry. Although Wan Zhi didn't graduate from primary school, he was able to turn a small textile factory into a large company with an annual output of hundreds of millions of yuan. He was more capable than those experts who only knew how to talk on paper. At least in Chen Xing's eyes, those gold-plated scholars and professors might not have a better vision for the development of the textile industry than Wan Zhi, who didn't graduate from primary school.
Wan Zhi didn't rush to tell Chen Xing his intention tonight. Since Chen Xing asked for his opinion on the reform of the county textile factory, Wan Zhi didn't hide it. He thought about it carefully and told Chen Xing his opinion.
However, as the acting county magistrate, Chen Xing believed that Wan Zhi could understand it. Wan Zhi always believed that the county textile factory, as a state-owned enterprise, had the advantage of favorable time, place, and people, but its operating efficiency declined year by year. The key was the problem of management. The disadvantages of state-owned enterprises had long been a cliché. Now it was the tide of the market economy. If the county textile factory still ran the enterprise with the management system of the planned economy, it would be strange if it could make a profit.
Chen Xing smiled and didn't interrupt. At this time, he behaved more like a student, humbly receiving advice, rather than an acting county magistrate with great power. The county textile factory was commonly known as the county textile factory. Chen Xing had thought about the reform of the management system. Chen Xing had seriously considered what Wan Zhi said. He asked for Wan Zhi's experience because he valued Wan Zhi's unique insight on the textile industry.
Seeing that Chen Xing was listening attentively, Wan Zhi's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and he had a better understanding of Chen Xing. His impression of Chen Xing was not good or bad. Anyway, since ancient times, people did not fight with officials. Enterprises should build a good relationship with all aspects and should not offend government officials. Wan Zhi had a deep understanding of this. Wanlong Textile Company, which he founded by himself, had been dependent on others since the beginning. Now, it had become the leading private enterprise in Ximen County. With the tax revenue that it could generate in the county every year, Wanlong Textile Company was no longer a small factory that sought a stable development environment and treated departments such as the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Tax Bureau as if they were Bodhisattvas who came to the factory in the name of inspection. Now, those relevant departments naturally did not dare to make trouble for them. Being an enterprise to this extent, Wan Zhi was qualified to ignore some ordinary officials.
Of course, Chen Xing was not an ordinary official. As the acting county magistrate who held real power, Wan Zhi still dared not to offend him. However, he made friends with Chen Xing with a neither servile nor overbearing attitude. As for his impression of Chen Xing, Wan Zhi did not casually comment on it. After all, they had only met two or three times. Anyway, Wan Zhi always thought that a young and successful official like Chen Xing would inevitably have a proud and arrogant mentality. Chen Xing's humble attitude surprised Wan Zhi from the bottom of his heart.
"County Chen, I invited you here tonight because I have a favor that I can't refuse, so I have to put my face on the line to help you. If County Chen has any difficulties, don't worry about my face. Just do what you need to do." Wan Zhi took some time to tell Chen Xing his real intention tonight. However, he also made it very clear that he did not intend to get involved. He was only responsible for pulling some strings. Whether Chen Tan's matter was successful or not, it was none of his business. However, he was not stupid enough to pull strings for others indiscriminately. He had investigated in advance and roughly guessed what was going on, so he agreed to help. Seeing that Chen Xing had been staring at him with a smile, Wan Zhi smiled bitterly in his heart. "Chen Xing is really shrewd …" He avoided Chen Xing's eyes and said with a smile, "Secretary Chen of Dawu Town has a little friendship with me. It should be because of the plastic factory."
Chen Xing was not too surprised. He had already expected that Wan Zhi would not look for him for no reason. He was not surprised to hear such an answer. Looking at Wan Zhi with relief, Chen Xing nodded slightly. Wan Zhi understood what Chen Xing meant. He got up and said, "I'll go next door to call someone. I won't come back later. I'll come back and have a good chat with County Chen after I'm done." Wan Zhi was using practical actions to fulfill his statement just now. If he chose not to be present, it was undoubtedly repeating what he had just said. Chen Xing did not need to care about his face. He did what he had to do.
After Wan Zhi went out for a while, Chen Quanqing came in, together with a woman in a tight black dress. She had a graceful figure. Rather than a woman, it was better to call her a young married woman. Her blooming beauty was not something that a young girl should have. Chen Tan did not follow them. He did not know that Wan Zhi had already 'sold' him out. He sat in the box next door and drank tea with a clear conscience. He did not intend to meet Chen Xing like this. He was on Wang Dongchen's side and thought that he had someone to rely on. Of course, Wang Dongchen was in a terrible situation. Chen Tan did not know at the moment. He knew that something had happened at Golden Jade Entertainment City, but he did not know how deep Wang Dongchen's involvement with Golden Jade Entertainment City was.
County Chen, my surname is Chen, and my name is Quanqing. County Chen, you can call me Little Chen. Chen Quanqing lowered his eyes and bowed as he came in. He was afraid that if he did not do this, he would not be able to show his respect. He said carefully. County Chen, you have been to my small factory once. You should still remember me, right?
Yes. Chen Xing nodded indifferently and glanced at Chen Quanqing. That night when he went to the plastic factory to pick up Jiang Feng, he had met Chen Quanqing. Although it was night and he could not see clearly, he still had some impression of Chen Quanqing. Chen Xing glanced at the woman who followed Chen Quanqing in. He did not change his expression. He could vaguely guess what Chen Quanqing was planning.
It seemed that Boss Chen was very powerful to be able to invite Chairman Wan through his connections. Chen Xing looked at Chen Quanqing up and down but did not ask him to sit down. Chen Quanqing did not dare to sit down and stood cautiously. Jiang Wan, the young woman who followed him in, naturally also stood obediently. She lowered her head, put her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and clasped her fingers tightly. Her nervousness could be vaguely seen. Only from her peeking up from time to time, it could be seen that she was secretly looking at Chen Xing curiously. Chen Quanqing, who was lawless in Dawu Town, was like a respectful and obedient kitten at this moment. This made Jiang Wan a little uncomfortable and almost burst out laughing. Chen Quanqing did not know how old he was and how old Chen Xing was. How could he let Chen Xing call him Little Chen? Jiang Wan felt that Chen Quanqing was really shameless.
County Chen, you must be joking. I don't have any face. It's all a favor that I shamelessly begged for. Chen Quanqing smiled sheepishly. He was also tactful and did not dare to claim his relationship with Wan Zhi. Chen Xing and Wan Zhi had sat inside for a while and only God knew what they talked about. Chen Quanqing had thought that Wan Zhi would come in with him on Chen Tan's request and help to put in a good word for him. He did not expect Wan Zhi to smile at the door and say that he had something urgent to deal with. Then, he turned and left. Chen Quanqing sensed something was amiss.
"Sit down." Chen Xing pointed at the chair. Only then did Chen Quanqing dare to sit down. Jiang Wan also sat down. She did not dare to peek at Chen Xing for fear of being seen through. Of course, she knew the purpose of her visit tonight. Chen Quanqing had seriously reminded her. Jiang Wan knew who she was serving. At first, when Chen Quanqing said that it was a young and handsome county magistrate, Jiang Wan thought it was a joke. However, after peeking a few times, she knew that Chen Quanqing was not lying to her.
Chen Xing was not considered very handsome, but he was definitely not ugly. This made Jiang Wan feel better. Anyway, in order to raise money for her brother's treatment, she had decided to go all out. Being seduced by a seemingly acceptable young man was better than being seduced by a big-bellied uncle. Whenever she thought of Chen Tan's lecherous eyes, Jiang Wan felt a little nauseous.
