As soon as Ouyang Ming got out of the car, he walked towards Fang Yang. "President Fang, it's been more than half a year since I last saw you. You look even more energetic now. Hey kid, you didn't even call me when you got to West Lake. Were you afraid I'd ask you to go drinking?"

Fang Yang spread his hands. "Secretary Ouyang, you know I come and go in a hurry. If I want to see you, I'll need time, right? Fortunately, the office building is now completed. There will be plenty of opportunities to visit and have tea then. You can't refuse my visit."

"I knew you were a slippery little devil, but I want to thank you for the hundred veterans your company helped us yesterday. Our soldiers shed blood on the front lines, and we can't let them shed tears when they come back. I appreciate your actions yesterday."

Fang Yang laughed and said, "Actually, we should have asked you to come and ask for the people a long time ago, but the company has been busy lately, and I haven't paid attention to it. It was only when my brother mentioned it to me yesterday that I remembered that it is time for demobilization. However, their arrival today has really relieved a lot of my worries. You see, without their arrival, I don't know where I would have found so many people to help!"

Following Fang Yang's finger, Ouyang Ming looked around and indeed saw demobilized soldiers busily working all around. "President Fang, they are all soldiers who have made contributions to the country and society. Please take good care of them in peacetime."

Fang Yang pointed to the employee dormitory where the exterior walls were being painted, "Secretary Ouyang, I don't know about the benefits of other companies, but after joining my company, everyone gets an employee dormitory at cost price. The expenses for children's schooling, medical care and meals are all free. Once you join, your whole family's medical care is guaranteed. Not to mention the whole of China, you probably can't find another company like this in the whole world."

Fang Yang's voice wasn't loud, but it stunned everyone around him, especially the veteran who had just arrived today. He had initially felt a bit aggrieved to be working as a security guard at a film company, but since he was assigned here, he figured he'd give it a try first. If things didn't go well, he'd quit after the New Year and find another job. But he never expected the surprises to follow. Although he didn't know what the salary would be like, the benefits were so good that he'd be willing to be sold off!

Ouyang Ming patted Fang Yang on the shoulder, "You're a good kid. I thank you on behalf of these demobilized soldiers. With these benefits, I'd like to come and work here myself."

Fang Yang waved his hand and said, "No, please don't. I'm doing this for my family, but what you're doing is for everyone. In front of everyone, this is just a trivial matter."

What Fang Yang didn't realize was that his every word and action with Ouyang Ming had been recorded by reporters behind him and broadcast on the West Lake City TV news channel that evening. This caused a great stir among the citizens of West Lake, and Fang Yang became associated with conscientious enterprises and entrepreneurs.

Zhou Hongguang walked behind Ouyang Ming until Fang Yang and Ouyang Ming finished their conversation, then stepped forward at the opportune moment. "President Fang, in another six months, you will be working in Xihu City. If you need any help in the future, just let us know. Secretary Ouyang and I will be your strongest support."

Fang Yang chuckled and said, "Thank you both for your kindness. We will definitely come to you if we encounter any difficulties. The time is almost up. Thank you all for coming. Let's go to the main stage area first to prepare for the topping-out ceremony."

Fang Yang had just turned around to call the large group to the meeting hall when Ouyang Ming grabbed him, saying, "Wait, another leader is coming soon, they should be here soon."

Fang Yang was dumbfounded. "Who is it? Someone with a higher official rank than you?"

Ouyang Ming nodded. "The newly appointed executive vice governor comes from a ministry and is waiting to take over as governor. He has a very powerful background. How do you know him? It seems like he came straight for you."

Fang Yang's eyes lit up, "Surname Bai?"

Ouyang Ming was dumbfounded. "You really know him?"

“I’ve heard Zhou Xin’s uncle-in-law mentioned before, but I’ve never met him, so I was too embarrassed to send him an invitation. I didn’t expect him to come to my door on his own.”

Ouyang Ming chuckled, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of connection. But when he comes later, if you don't take the initiative to bring it up, don't do it yourself, or you'll offend him."

Fang Yang laughed and said, "I feel embarrassed. It would be fine if we knew each other, but we don't know each other at all. If I try to curry favor with them and they don't approve, it would be incredibly embarrassing."

Ouyang Ming, who had been keeping an eye on the outside, suddenly reminded Fang Yang, "They're here. We'll see how things go later."

Ouyang Ming straightened his clothes, gestured to Fang Yang, and then, together with Zhou Hongguang, led Fang Yang and a group of government officials to greet them. The television reporters had already set up their cameras, striving to record everything from the best angles.

The new convoy was even larger than when Ouyang Ming and his group arrived. The number of police cars leading the way was upgraded to four, quickly filling the temporary parking lot. Fortunately, this was a construction site and not on the street, so the cars behind could just find a place to park without bothering anyone.

After the secretary opened the back door and guided the first car out, Fang Yang was shocked when the person's full appearance was revealed. This person was even younger than Ouyang Ming, looking like he was not even forty years old. He didn't expect that he was already the governor of a province!

"Governor Bai, this is today's protagonist, Fang Yang, a promising young talent. Yesterday, he helped us in Xihu City with the resettlement of one hundred veterans. He has done us a great favor."

Bai Zhenjun shook hands with Ouyang Ming and Zhou Hongjun, then pulled Fang Yang aside and said, "Xiao Xin praises you at home every day, I'm so tired of hearing it. Today I finally get to see you in person. You're a pretty good young man, and you even know how to settle veterans. I came uninvited today, I hope it didn't affect your topping-out ceremony."

Seeing Bai Zhenjun's tone, Fang Yang sensed that he was intentionally showing concern, so he smiled and said, "We are so happy to welcome Uncle Bai today. It's my fault for not sending you the invitation earlier. I was just worried that you would be too busy and it would interfere with your work."

"No matter how busy you are with work, you can always squeeze out some time. Don't be shy if you need anything in the future. I heard you're going to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year. Come to my house for a family dinner. Your aunt is a pretty good cook."

Fang Yang was surprised that Bai Zhenjun would mention a family banquet in such a setting. This level of support was extraordinary. It was estimated that no one present would dare to do anything to Yuewen Entertainment Media in the future.

Back at the main venue, the host had already made all the preparations. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he knew it was time to begin the ceremony.
