Chapter 325 Sisters Talk
Jiang Ningyue walked into the conference room and found that it was already full of people. A group of foreigners were watching the staff of the Department of Commerce seriously as they introduced Haizhou's several major economic zones, as well as Haizhou's location advantages and government policies.
The arrival of Gale Medical Group and several other companies has given the staff a lot of confidence.
Many foreigners were whispering.
Although many companies now choose to build factories in Southeast Asia or even India, the per capita education level in these countries is not comparable to that in China.
After comprehensive evaluation, China is still the most suitable place to build factories in East Asia and even in Asia.
Jiang Ningyue originally wanted to find a seat in the back row, but Secretary Wang quickly said, "Director Jiang, your seat is in the first row."
Following the direction indicated by Secretary Wang, Jiang Ningyue saw that there was still one seat in the first row where Xu Zhaolin and others were.
Jiang Ningyue raised her eyebrows. Those sitting in this row were either the governor, the vice governor, or the director of the Department of Commerce. Why should she run over to join in the fun?
However, Secretary Wang looked serious, so Jiang Ningyue had no choice but to walk over and greet the leaders around him.
Xu Zhaolin smiled and whispered, "President Frank, this is the Jiang Ningyue you just mentioned."
Frank was a typical old white man. When he heard Xu Zhaolin's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. He smiled and nodded at Jiang Ningyue, "Hello. Minister Kalin mentioned you to me specifically."
"Thank you Minister Karin for your trust."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said a few polite words.
Yilin once said that foreign countries don't rely on personal connections. However, overseas high-level positions rely not only on personal connections but also on blood ties. Without a recommendation, you often can't even get through the door, let alone collaborate.
If Minister Kalin hadn't mentioned it, the Chamber of Commerce would never have come to Haizhou. After all, after their Chamber of Commerce visited the capital, countless provincial capitals and economic zones took the initiative to contact and communicate with them, inviting them to conduct research.
Whatever conditions Haizhou can afford, other provinces can also afford! Or even more!
Xu Zhaolin certainly knew this truth. When he saw that Frank's attitude was no longer perfunctory, he also smiled.
The few of them stopped talking and listened to the explanation attentively.
After the presentation, Xu Zhaolin invited us to dinner. Xu Zhaolin took this opportunity very seriously, and even planned to personally lead the research team to the Haining High-Tech Zone the following day.
During the dinner, Jiang Ningyue chatted and laughed with the leaders, and both the guests and the hosts had a great time.
After the meeting, Jiang Ningyue asked Secretary Wang, "Director Wang, do I still need to follow you tomorrow?"
"Of course!"
Secretary Wang nodded quickly, then thought for a moment and said, "Director Jiang, can you please excuse me?"
The two of them arrived at an empty private room, and Secretary Wang asked, "Director Jiang, are you interested in becoming the director of the High-Tech Zone's Management Committee? As long as you can do a good job, I guarantee you'll be promoted to deputy director within five years."
Jiang Ningyue was surprised to hear this. She was genuinely surprised. Secretary Wang represented Xu Zhaolin's attitude, which was also equivalent to Xu Zhaolin's promise. Simply put, during Xu Zhaolin's term, she could at least become a deputy director.
Even the deputy mayor.
The 32-year-old deputy mayor...
Jiang Ningyue didn't dare to think about it.
She was a little confused for a moment and could only reply, "Director Wang, I... let me think about it."
Secretary Wang smiled and nodded. "The high-tech zone's team hasn't been set up yet, but please don't keep the leaders waiting too long."
"I understand." Jiang Ningyue nodded.
After leaving the hotel, Jiang Ningyue sat in the car and pondered for a few minutes. Finally, she called Li Chunyan and got Li Chunyan's permission. Jiang Ningyue drove to the residential compound of the Provincial Party Committee.
Entering Li Chunyan's home, Li Chunyan had already changed into pajamas and was sitting in the study reading a book. After Jiang Ningyue entered the house, she was taken to the study by the nanny.
"Sister, didn't I accompany Governor Xu to negotiate with the German Federal Chamber of Commerce today? After dinner tonight, Xu Zhaolin's secretary told me that Xu Zhaolin wanted me to be the director of this management committee. I said I was only at the deputy division level and couldn't be the director of a division-level unit. He said they could set up a temporary office first, and after I've been in office for a year and a half, which would be in April or May of next year, they would promote me to division level. They also guaranteed that I could be promoted to deputy director within five years, which would mean I could become a member of the municipal standing committee, deputy mayor, and director of the management committee..."
Li Chunyan remained silent, listening quietly to Jiang Ningyue's words. Her expression was calm, and she was smiling. She wasn't angry at Xu Zhaolin's poaching. "So, what do you think?"
"I, I don't know."
Jiang Ningyue spoke frankly, "Xu Zhaolin and I have only met a few times. At most, I helped him to sign a contract with the Gale Group. This time, it was because of Minister Kalin that I met with the German Federal Chamber of Commerce. He may have taken a fancy to my connections in this area, so he wanted me to be the director of the management committee, so that I can do my best to help him attract investment."
Li Chunyan smiled and nodded. "You're right. Xu Zhaolin has just arrived in Haizhou Province and is eager to make a difference. Furthermore, as governor, he's also eyeing the position of Provincial Party Secretary, perhaps even considering it a sure thing. Therefore, he desperately needs a capable official to help him expand his territory. If you choose to help him now, you'll definitely receive Xu Zhaolin's full support."
Jiang Ningyue nodded after hearing this, "Sister, is there anything else?"
Li Chunyan chuckled. "But you've offended so many people on TV, on 'Questioning Haizhou'. Is it really that easy for you to land smoothly and turn hostility into friendship? Even if Xu Zhaolin can protect you, will he still do so when he's promoted to provincial party secretary?"
Jiang Ningyue was silent.
Yes, when the birds are gone, the bows are put away.
"I understand sis."
Seeing Jiang Ningyue's low mood, Li Chunyan smiled and said, "Of course, there's nothing wrong with being a vanguard officer. Everyone gets promoted this way. I never said you had rough edges, but on the contrary, I admire them. Keep them. Let your brilliance shine where it belongs, instead of staying in a dispensable position."
Jiang Ningyue nodded. After talking with Li Chunyan, she was no longer confused. After all, Li Chunyan was only 47 years old this year. Why should she be in such a hurry?
