The Director of the Investment Promotion Office frowned deeply and said, "This is exactly the key issue that is troubling us right now. Heshenghe Group is one of the top big enterprises and conglomerates in the Provincial City. If they invest even a little in our county, it can change the entire economic outlook of our county."

The young man frowned and said, "But the project we proposed, they obviously don't think much of it. And not just Heshenghe, we've been visiting all these big companies in the province for nearly a month now, and none of them are interested in our project."

The Director of the Investment Promotion Office frowned and said, "That's understandable. After all, we're not business people; we can't just magically come up with a profitable venture out of the blue. If we could do that, we'd be doing it ourselves and not looking for them."

The young man said, helplessly and sighing, "Before I joined the Investment Promotion Office, I thought this job was great. Relaxing in the office when there's nothing to do, chatting and having tea with the big bosses when there is something to do, easy and enjoyable. Haha, ideals are rosy, reality is stark. Now we're running around everywhere, dealing with people politely when they're polite to us. When they're impatient, they directly tell us to leave."

"Now we're even shamelessly going door to door begging. But still, putting down our pride hasn't led to any results. Take Heshenghe, for example. Their boss, Shen Qiang, is from our county. But we've visited the company several times and can't even meet him."

The Director of the Investment Promotion Office frowned, "We must find a way, we absolutely have to find a way. Our current fiscal situation is quite tight. Without investment from big enterprises to drive the economy, fiscal revenue will be low. Low fiscal revenue hinders a lot of infrastructure development."

"Look at the neighboring county, their economy is thriving, and they built that... what's it called, the rubber dam. During the rainy season when the river floods in our county, about three hundred meters of riverbank got destroyed, while their dam remained unscathed. We were panicking all night, unable to sleep, and they were laughing while watching the river. Is the gap small?"

"It's just about money!" the Director of the Investment Promotion Office said. "Relying on provincial and city grants, they calculate every bit of the budget down to the bone. If you want to raise specifications and standards, where does the money come from?"

The young man sighed helplessly.

The Director of the Investment Promotion Office frowned and said, "We need tax revenue! But who do you tax if there are no big enterprises? And in recent years, the young people in the county are leaving, and the population has been decreasing year by year. Why? Isn't it because the county's economy isn't good and people can't earn money at home?"

"So no matter how difficult it is, we must find a way to bring big enterprises here."

"By then, with tax revenue, infrastructure won't be a problem, there'll be job opportunities, and young people won't need to leave. At that time, when people talk about us, they won't think we're useless because, regardless of what people say, earning a lifetime salary is justified, with a clear conscience."

"So, either find a way to get transferred, away from the Investment Promotion Office, or get yourself together! Come up with strategies, no matter what, we've got to find a way to secure Heshenghe Group!"

The young man frowned and said, "Director, can you let me off the hook? I've been to Heshenghe Group's building eight times already. Only once did I go with you, claiming to be Shen Qiang's fellow townsman to meet Heshenghe's President Shen Bian. Every other time, I was dismissed after just a few words. If they're not investing, am I supposed to threaten them with a knife?"

Looking at the Director of the Investment Promotion Office, who was frowning deeply, the young man said, "Look, it's almost the Lunar New Year. How about we go home first to celebrate the New Year, and talk about this after it's over."

"Go home for the New Year?" The Director of the Investment Promotion Office's eyes suddenly brightened. "Why didn't I think of this!"

Patting his thigh vigorously, then standing up with gleaming eyes, the Director of the Investment Promotion Office was excited, "You're right. Although Shen Qiang, the big boss, is hard to meet, he will surely return home for the Lunar New Year. Opportunity! The opportunity is here. Let's go buy tickets, and we'll go home for the New Year."

The young man was taken aback, "Really?"

The Director of the Investment Promotion Office laughed. "Shen Qiang will definitely go home for the Lunar New Year. We know exactly where his family lives. We'll directly go to his door, how could he escape from us?"

The young man smirked skeptically, "Even if we find him, so what? Just an Investment Promotion Office director, would he care about us, given how big his business is now?"

The Director's eyes lit up with determination, "What you said makes sense, the Investment Promotion Office director is indeed a bit insignificant. Let's go, hurry and book the tickets. We'll go back right now. My influence might not be enough, but we still have the County Committee Secretary, the County Mayor, and if necessary, we can bring the Finance Office Director."

The young man sighed helplessly, "What if he moves to the Province?"

The Director of the Investment Promotion Office frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "You're right, so this issue really needs careful consideration." As he spoke, he took out a small notebook, jotting down notes, "Our county isn't big, first focus on the Investment Promotion Office when we return. See who is a relative of Shen Qiang, like seventh aunt, eighth uncle, third cousin's husband, sixth grandpa, ninth uncle. Find anyone who can possibly help persuade him."

Seeing the stunned expression on the young man's face, the Director of the Investment Promotion Office continued, "Plans can be changed, projects can be negotiated. As long as Heshenghe Group is willing to come, we can revitalize the stagnant economy of the county, then we've done right by our conscience!"

He gave a directive to depart.

As the Director of the Investment Promotion Office walked out, he made a phone call, "County Mayor, uh-huh, it's me. There's something from the Investment Promotion Office I'd like to discuss with you. We could meet this afternoon, uh-huh, right, I'll come to your office when I arrive, okay, okay."

At ten forty in the morning, Shen Qiang's meeting ended.

Coming out of the conference room, Bianyi, smiling, followed Shen Qiang to his office.

Leaning back in his chair, taking the tea with a faint aroma of Sleeping Fire Lotus, looking at the smiling, silent Bianyi, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I'm planning to go back to my hometown for the Lunar New Year, so I'll have to trouble you with company matters."

Bianyi smiled, "Expected."

Shen Qiang laughed, "It's the New Year, I suppose I should prepare a generous gift for your sister-in-law, to please her a bit."

Bianyi smiled sweetly, "The super master in Carefree Valley mentioned the process, so Sha Jianying doesn't genuinely hate you. But there's no need to try to get on her good side. She'll think of Sha Jianming when she sees you, you know. If she could, she would throw a Flying Knife at you."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "That's her problem, I'm just considering what I ought to do."

Bianyi hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "Then send her a bottle of Jade Cream. For a woman, nothing is more delightful than beauty."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang's heart was touched, and then his eyes brightened, "That reminds me of a perfect gift."
