The next day, Mu Fangting took Fan Huifang around the hotel and explained to her the operations of each department of the hotel.

After hearing this, Fan Huifang realized that she had known too little before.

When it comes to specialized catering, there are actually many aspects, rules, and details to pay attention to.

She felt that her trip to Shenzhen was very beneficial and worthwhile.

A few days later, Shen Xiaobei called Mu Fangting to ask about the hotel's operations. Mu Fangting told her that Fan Huifang was currently living there.

After Shen Xiaobei learned about it, he quickly rushed over from Jing City.

"Sister Huifang, you're so mean! You didn't even tell me you were here, and you didn't even let Fang Ting tell me!"

"I'm just afraid of bothering you!"

"What's the problem? I'm just an idler anyway! By the way, Sister Huifang, Fang Ting said you came here specifically to inspect hotels, and then plan to open one of your own in Shuanghe County?"

"Yeah, actually I've had this idea for a long time, but I've always lacked the courage and been a bit hesitant to take the first step."

"Now that the two children don't need me to worry about them, and Teacher Ye is doing a good job in school, I thought, I should learn from you and Xiaoli and start a career while I still have the energy!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid of being looked down upon by the two of you!"

"Haha, look at what Sister Huifang said. Are Xiaoli and I such snobs? No matter how big or small your career is, the three of us will always be best sisters. This will never change!"

Shen Xiaobei naturally took Fan Huifang’s hands and said sincerely with his eyes.

After hearing this, Fan Huifang's eyes instantly became moist.

The two chatted affectionately for a while, and then got down to business.

Knowing that Fan Huifang still had a funding gap for opening a hotel in Shuanghe County, Shen Xiaobei took the initiative to propose a partnership with her.

I also suggested to her that since she wanted to open a hotel in a small county town, she should either not open it at all or open it at all. If she did open it, she should open a landmark hotel and build it according to star standards.

Strive to be the number one hotel in Shuanghe County.

Hearing Shen Xiaobei's ambitious words, Fan Huifang was very excited and immediately agreed.

It just so happened that because the roads between Maling Township and Heishui and Baiju Village had been repaired, Shen Xiaobei had planned to go back this summer to do some business.

After spending a week in Shenzhen with Fan Huifang, the two of them returned directly to their hometown from Shenzhen.

After arriving in Shuanghe County, Shen Xiaobei stayed for a few days and inspected the geographical location of the county with Fan Huifang and decided on the construction site of the hotel.

They chose the location for the hotel on the east side of Shuanghe Avenue leading into the county town.

On the west side is the old town.

According to Shen Xiaobei's prediction, Shuanghe County will definitely expand to the east in the future, so the location of their hotel is chosen to be close to the entrance to the city.

By then, it will be very convenient to get to their hotel, whether in the old city or the new city.

After choosing the hotel location, the next step is to negotiate construction matters with relevant units and apply for relevant certificates.

Also, handle loan matters with the bank.

Shen Xiaobei already had a clear understanding of these processes when he was in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

She took Fan Huifang with her and ran around for several days in a row. She had almost prepared all the relevant matters, and left the remaining trivial matters to Fan Huifang.

Fan Huifang and Ye Zhicheng have lived in the county town for so many years, so they still have some connections.

It's not difficult to find an acquaintance to do something for you.

Moreover, when doing things in a small county, Shen Xiaobei discovered that connections are very important. As long as you have connections, as long as the things you ask others to do are not illegal, and as long as you know some appropriate etiquette, basically everything will be easy.

After arranging the initial matters for building the hotel, Shen Xiaobei went to the Maling Township Government alone.

This was her second visit after the commune was changed into a township government.

Except for the name change, the furnishings inside the township government are still similar to those in the previous commune period.

The last time she came was after the New Year to discuss donating money for road construction.

As soon as I walked into the gate of the township government, I felt a long-lost sense of familiarity.

This time when I come here again, I am naturally more familiar with the place.

However, some of my colleagues from that time have retired, and some no longer work here.

Secretary Wu has also retired. He was later promoted to a county cadre and retired.

If a cadre in a government agency can successfully work until retirement, it means that he must be a good cadre, which makes Shen Xiaobei feel very gratified.

This shows that I indeed met a good leader back then.

The current township secretary is named Zheng Hongtu. He is about the same age as Secretary Wu back then, and is also a middle-aged man in his forties.

He is neither tall nor short, and his belly shows no signs of middle-aged weight gain.

Wearing glasses and dressing simply, he looks more cultured and down-to-earth.

Shen Xiaobei had a good first impression of him.

Secretary Zheng naturally had a better impression of Shen Xiaobei, who was able to donate money to build roads for the village.

He gave her a warm welcome when she came this time.

After the two of them exchanged polite greetings in his office for a while, Shen Xiaobei took out an investment project plan from the bag he was carrying.

Briefly explained the purpose of coming to the village to find him.

Secretary Zheng took the plan, looked at it carefully, and asked with joy, "Mr. Shen wants to open a sock factory in our village?"

"Yes, Secretary Zheng! I have invested in clothing and underwear factories in both the south and the north, and I've also opened my own trading company. I've formed a relatively complete industrial chain."

"Socks are clothing peripheral products and daily consumables. Their sales channels can be fully connected with our clothing and underwear."

"So, I think building a sock factory is very feasible. And building it in our village can also solve the employment problem of some farmers in our village."

"Boss Shen, you are such a courageous female entrepreneur who also has feelings for your hometown!"

"It is truly an honor for our Maling Township to have a daughter-in-law like you and an entrepreneur like you."

"On behalf of the Maling Township Government, I sincerely welcome you to return to invest and set up a factory. The township will definitely cooperate with you and strive to build the sock factory together as soon as possible!"

Secretary Zheng stood up and shook hands with Shen Xiaobei with a solemn and grateful look on his face.

"Secretary Zheng, you're so kind! I really don't deserve it! Thank you Secretary Zheng for your strong support. I'm sure there will be many more places in the future where I'll need your help!"

"That's easy to say. I'm just worried that no one will bother me. That would be a headache for me as the secretary, hahahaha!"

Secretary Zheng laughed heartily with humor.

The two then discussed the relevant matters of setting up a socks factory for a long time before Shen Xiaobei got up and left, returning to the Duan family in Heishui Village.
