Zhang Cheng was not surprised by this.
Jiang Yuhong's ambition lies in making quick money, rather than in painstakingly building a real business.
Taking advantage of the power vacuum in Jiaxing, he used capital to sweep away those shady industries—that was his style.
As for the legitimate enterprises, Li Yuanyuan and Zhang Tian took the lead in frequently contacting the newly established Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce. With Zhao Daming's introduction, the two chambers of commerce reached several cooperation agreements, and the Funing County Glass Factory even successfully recruited two valuable technical consultants.
April 11th.
An ambulance from Funing County People's Hospital slowly pulled up in front of Jiaxing City People's Hospital.
Zhang Cheng was carried onto the vehicle on a stretcher, with Liu Zhongren accompanying him closely.
Zhao Daming then went to get the car he had borrowed from the Public Security Bureau to return together.
"Zhang Cheng!"
Just as I settled down, a familiar and clear voice rang in my ears.
Zhang Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Liu Yihan, who was dressed in a white nurse's uniform, with some surprise: "Aren't you the nurse on duty?"
"I heard from my brother-in-law that you were seriously injured in Jiaxing..." Liu Yihan's eyes were filled with unconcealed heartache. She squatted down next to the stretcher and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
Liu Zhongren, standing to the side, suppressed a laugh, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
This guy's charm is truly unfathomable; how come all the beautiful girls are throwing themselves at him?
"It doesn't hurt much anymore," Zhang Cheng smiled.
“You must be careful when you go out in the future. The world is so chaotic these days. If things get really bad, you’ll have to suffer some losses…” Liu Yihan nagged like a little housekeeper.
The doctor and another middle-aged nurse traveling in the car exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
...
Funing County, Municipal Government.
Secretary Liu sat behind his large desk, raised his hand and rubbed his temples vigorously, muttering to himself.
"Just what kind of jinx is this Zhang Cheng?"
“They just went to Jiaxing, and the entire municipal party committee, from top to bottom, was punished.”
"My old classmate, Secretary Zhou, is going to study at the Party School for six months. Mayor Gao Zhenghao has been directly transferred to the Education Bureau to retire..."
Recalling the news he had just received, Secretary Liu felt a chill rise up his spine.
Turbulent times breed heroes.
Although this era is not chaotic, it is by no means peaceful. All industries are growing wildly, and there are opportunities everywhere, but also traps everywhere.
"Secretary Liu!"
Director Yu of the Public Security Bureau knocked on the door and walked in with a smile: "Da Ming called. Zhang Cheng is on his way back. This is his detention warrant. What do you think? Should we detain him as soon as he arrives?"
"Wasn't he shot?" Secretary Liu raised an eyebrow and waved his hand impatiently. "When he comes back, just get him medical parole... and send him back to Zhangjia Village to recover!"
"Understood!" Director Yu nodded immediately.
He came here today just to hear those words.
Just then, an anxious voice rang out from the doorway.
"Secretary Liu! Director Yu!"
Bai Huafeng, the director of the power supply bureau, practically barged in, his face full of worry.
“Hua Feng,” Secretary Liu said with a headache at the sight of his expression, “I’ve told you so many times, just wait a little longer, the city really is out of money! There’s no use in you coming here every day!”
The "electricity to the countryside" project has a huge funding gap, and the money from the department store bidding has long been used up.
"Secretary Liu, the city doesn't have the money, you should ask the province for it! The power supply is only halfway done, if it's cut off, all the previous investment will be wasted!" Bai Huafeng was sweating profusely with anxiety.
"You think I didn't ask for it? The provincial authorities are getting annoyed with me, constantly complaining about being poor. What can I do?"
Director Yu, who was standing to the side, rolled his eyes and suddenly whispered tentatively, "Secretary Liu, Director Bai... doesn't that Zhang Cheng know a lot of big bosses?"
"Why don't we ask him if he has any solutions?"
Bai Huafeng's eyes lit up instantly!
The name Zhang Cheng is very well-known to him!
He grabbed Director Yu's arm and said urgently, "Director Yu, you have to ask him for me! If he really has a way to get the money, I'll make sure he does all the outsourced projects for our power supply bureau from now on!"
Secretary Liu shook his head helplessly, thinking that Bai Huafeng was really grasping at straws in his desperation.
Zhang Cheng has some money, but the project of bringing electricity to the countryside is a bottomless pit.
That little bit of money invested probably wouldn't even make a ripple.
