"The greater the pressure, the greater my expectations," Chen Yifei said. "Since everyone says they support me, I feel more at ease."

"We will definitely build it exactly according to the plan. We will absolutely not let everyone down."

After the leaders came out and stood outside the factory, they gestured to Chen Yifei that he didn't need to see them off.

They all surrounded Wang Yuliang and said:

"Comrade Wang, this Chen Yifei is indeed a promising talent!"

"Such an upright person is in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, which I think is quite good. He is the director now, and I think it is possible for him to become the minister in the future."

Wang Yuliang deliberately waved his hand: "How could that be? This ministerial position still needs to be recruited by us. Chen Yifei can only provide consulting services. We'll have to see how things go after the evaluation."

"If circumstances allow, we should start as a deputy minister. Of course, we won't discuss that now; this garment factory is really good."

"Yes, it's just as good as that mushroom shed and that pig farm."

"The pigs in the southwest all come from your huge place, don't they!"

Everyone was laughing nonstop.

Wang Yuliang exclaimed, "Our county's economy has really improved. Just look at how pig farming is doing now; it has raised our local economy to a whole new level. I have to say, it's all thanks to Comrade Chen Yifei."

“Our area is developing well. Isn’t the factory across the street from Shenzhen? The feed was also sourced from Shenzhen by Zhao Shi. Comrade Chen Yifei has a particularly wide network of connections.”

"Yes, yes, yes."

The people around them echoed their sentiments, and they were all very happy.

Wang Yuliang continued, "Our cooperation with other regions is becoming increasingly in-depth."

The municipal party committee said, "By the way, a geological team from Shanghai has come to investigate our mineral resources."

"This is also a collaboration."

"After Chen Yifei took the lead, everything got better."

At this moment, He Xiaojie, wearing a safety helmet with a flashlight attached, who had just come out of the wild, ran out like this.

The leaders were all startled when they saw it.

"How do you say who's coming?"

"Everyone thought it was an illusion." The municipal leader who had spoken earlier introduced, "This is Xiaojie. He's a key member of the mineral resources department. Their leader introduced him to me and asked me to take good care of him."

He Xiaojie was panting heavily, clearly having made a great effort to get there.

"Please don't leave yet, everyone. It will be difficult to get you all together later. I have something very important to tell you."

They were initially uninterested, but after He Xiaojie said that, they all perked up their ears to listen.

Every Chinese person, from young to old, is a gossip.

This might be an innate ability.

"Today, while preparing for the survey, we conducted several surveys. We originally thought it would take some time to discover the distribution of mineral resources."

"I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain in Wenshui County."

Clearly, the survey team members were very excited.

Wang Yuliang asked with some surprise, "Has a mine been discovered?"

"That's not right. There shouldn't be any coal mines around here. Otherwise, when our residents were digging and clearing land, they might have brought back some coal to burn."

That was a joke.

However, the process of discovering mineral deposits is generally like this: it is usually the villagers who discover them first.

He Xiaojie was clearly excited as well: "Because it's not a coal mine, nor is it a common placer mine!"

"This is an extremely rare glaucophane mineral. Such a mineral shouldn't exist in our province, but we found a large area of ​​it in your village."

"We have invited all the leaders here now in the hope that we can apply for an expedited process. We need the cooperation of the Land Bureau and other local departments to handle the mining and other related matters."

"This is the most important national resource. Currently, it seems to belong to arable land, and subsidies and compensation for farmers who cultivate the land need to be prepared."

He Xiaojie is very familiar with and professional in doing these things.

This series of arrangements left Wang Yuliang utterly shocked.

What is that?

Wang Yuliang has not yet been officially promoted from Wenshui County to the Municipal Party Committee.

I am still in office.

Does that mean that during his tenure, he discovered glaucophane deposits?

He didn't know that many types of minerals.

However, I do know a little about this kind of mineral whose name I don't understand; it must be a very special kind of mineral.

Even if it was a coal mine, it was still a meritorious achievement during his tenure.

So Wang Yuliang also perked up.

He said to his secretary, "We've come here because something so big has happened, so please stay here and cooperate with our work."

"This is the first time something like this has happened in Wenshui County, so I'm keeping an eye on it; there's no way I'll make a mistake."

Wang Yuliang was very responsible, and people from all around came to visit.

"Hey, Comrade Wang is really great! He never speaks harshly to any of us. He even does everything himself."

"The development of Wenshui County is definitely inseparable from the efforts of these leaders."

"..."

Amidst everyone's praise, Chen Yifei said, "Comrade He Xiaojie, Comrade Wang, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

"Alright, alright, I guess we'll still need the help of you locals to plan the farmland."

Wang Jianshe and Zhao Qian also came over to join in the fun.

Zhao Qian said with some disdain, "Isn't today the factory's opening day? This blue sapphire mine has stolen all the limelight."
