Dong Shier said, "This location is far from the supermarket's planned site, but I think it's fine."

Dong Hua said, "I also think this is the best."

Xu An chimed in, "If you all think it's good, then there's no problem!"

Zhao Cheng rolled her eyes at Xu An, then looked at Dong Hua and asked, "You're in charge of the commercial district. Can you manage alone?"

Donghua felt immense pressure and said, "If I were to dedicate myself to this task, I would definitely be fine. But now that Sister Chunqin is pregnant, I also have to help her manage the household accounts... Of course, I'm not saying I can't do it, but I'm afraid that if my focus is distracted, something might go wrong."

Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll transfer Huang Hua back to help you."

Dong Hua asked doubtfully, "What about the industrial park in Yun Jing County?"

Zhao Cheng said, "It's precisely because he was in charge of building the industrial park that he has experience, making him the most suitable person to help you develop the commercial district. Ma Cong has been eager to do this for a long time. Sending Ma Cong to replace Huang Hua will allow him to adapt to the pace there first. Once the industrial park is completed, let Ma Cong directly take over the business in Yun Jing County."

Dong Hua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as it doesn't affect anything else, I'd be more than happy to accept it!"

Zhao Cheng's expression turned serious as he said, "Remember this: our main economic activity must be based in Yanchuan City; our headquarters is of paramount importance!"

The three nodded.

Zhao Cheng leaned back and said, "Let's all think about what to name the commercial district?"

Dong Shier said, "How about we continue using the Chamber of Commerce's name and call it the Eastern Business District?"

Zhao Cheng said, "The Eastern Chamber of Commerce, the Eastern Restaurant, the Eastern Supermarket, and now an Eastern Commercial District... The Chamber of Commerce has been too prominent lately. I'm worried that its success might attract unwanted attention and cause some people unnecessary trouble."

"Let's call the business district in Yanchuan City the Yanchuan Commercial District!" Xu An blurted out.

“That’s great!” Zhao Cheng immediately said, “Let’s name it after Yanchuan, Yanchuan Square, it’ll be more approachable.”

"Yanchuan Square..." Donghua murmured to herself, then clapped her hands and exclaimed, "That sounds beautiful!"

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll arrange for Huang Hua to come back right away. Dong Hua, you can start the preparations."

"yes!"

Zhao Cheng looked at Xu An and said, "Old Xu, you are still somewhat useful, but I hope you can make greater use of your value. Now that the matter of liaising with the Ministry of Revenue is over, you can't just sit idle."

Xu An asked suspiciously, "What do you want me to do?"

"We're short-staffed..."

"Alright, alright, I'll go recruit talented people tomorrow!"

“It’s not that we lack workers, it’s that we lack capable people from our own ranks.” Zhao Cheng suddenly stood up, squatted down in front of Xu An, and looked at Xu An with bright eyes.

Xu An became alert, straightened his back, and said, "Don't stare at me like that, just say what you have to say!"

"I have two ideas that I think you could give."

"No need to sell your body, right?" Xu An crossed her arms.

"Dream on!" Zhao Cheng grabbed Xu An's wrist and chuckled slyly, "Your father is doing very well in the Ministry of Revenue, and his prestige in the court is growing. Many young people treat him with the respect due to a teacher. Although many people pass the imperial examinations each time, the court will weed out many when assigning positions. There are only so many vacancies in the Ministry of Revenue, and there are a lot of people waiting in line. These people must have bribed your father quite a bit, right?"

Xu An immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense! My father is an honest official!"

"Let me give you an example. Aren't those who were selected and those who weren't all the talents we need?"

"Although I haven't received much formal education, I do know the difference between the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel. You should go to the Ministry of Personnel about this!"

Zhao Cheng waved his hand and said, "Going directly to the Ministry of Personnel would be blatantly undermining the court, with a terrible impact. If we focus on the Ministry of Revenue, we can pick up the fish that slipped through the net and prevent any hidden gems from being overlooked. The Ministry of Revenue's personnel are exactly what we need right now, as they are our specialty."

“Tell your dad about my idea. If he thinks it’s feasible, he’ll find a way to make it happen.”

Xu An was just a little simple-minded, but not stupid; his mind immediately started working.

His thinking was simple: as long as he didn't cause trouble for his father, it was fine.

Zhao Cheng's point is actually quite simple. To put it bluntly, there are so many talented people out there. If your big factories don't want them, my small factories will take them. All we need is a distribution channel.

If Xu Shouli can act as the introducer for this channel, both the talented individuals and Zhao Cheng will feel at ease.

“You write this letter, and I will give it to my father in my own name,” Xu An said.

"OK!"

Zhao Cheng patted Xu An's arm with a smile and said, "I have another idea. When you're not busy in Yanchuan, you should visit Jingdong County, Jiangyang County, and Yunjing County more often. Business in Shangyang County is about to start, so you can go there more often."

“Huang Zhen, Deng Fugui, Cai Qiong, and Li Lu are all our people and you know them well. Ask them if they have any hidden gems that we need.”

Xu An exclaimed in surprise, "Are you asking me to become a human trafficker?!"

"Why do your words sound so harsh?" Zhao Cheng squeezed into a chair next to Xu An, put his arm around him and said, "Try to broaden your perspective and look ahead to the future."

Zhao Cheng waved his hand and continued, "Think about your father. Why do so many people treat him with the respect due to a teacher? It's because he created opportunities for others to realize their life's value. If you do this well, more and more people will enter the Chamber of Commerce through you. Don't you have confidence in the Chamber of Commerce? If so, then you know that their lives will definitely get better and better!"

"Once they've all made something of themselves and achieved success, you'll be their benefactor!"
