Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 802: Empathy

"Chief Zhao, do you think this will work? You can bring some investment to the city. Our city also needs to develop, right? Don't worry, the city will not forget your contribution! Moreover, for a comrade like you who is capable and thoughtful, the organization will definitely give you more responsibilities!" Mayor Li said with a smile.

"Mayor Li, I think it's better for us not to interfere in this matter!" Wei Nong said.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Mayor Li asked curiously.

"This investment has not been confirmed yet. Whether it is Tazhai in Dongshan or the provincial development zone, they are just rumors. Moreover, I promised to help my classmate to attract investment only to solve the poverty problem in Tazhai, and the prerequisite was that Tazhai could solve the transportation problem by itself! I guess it was this problem that made the province know about the investment?" Wei Nong said with a smile.

"That's right. Dongshan is such a poor place, where would they get the money to build a road? They must have wanted to report it to the province and ask for funding for road construction. However, they didn't expect that the province wanted to intercept their investment!" said Mayor Li.

"Therefore, it would be meaningless for us to get involved now. In fact, what we should do most now is to solve the traffic problem. There is not even a decent road from the provincial capital to our Jinghai. There is only a dilapidated gravel road. With such traffic conditions, how can any investor come here?" Wei Nong said.

Mayor Li fell into deep thought upon hearing Wei Nong's words. This wasn't an isolated case; it was the prevailing transportation situation across China. If a country wants to develop, the first thing it must do is build a large number of roads and railways. So why was the first development zone established in a special economic zone? Why did the southeastern coastal areas develop first? Isn't it because they have convenient transportation?

"So, Chief Zhao means that we should not move now, and wait until Dongshan and the province decide the winner before we discuss attracting investment?" Mayor Li asked curiously.

"Yes, so now we just have to wait for them to decide the winner!" Wei Nong said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll believe you this time! Let's wait for them to come up with a conclusion!" Mayor Li left Wei Nong's office with a smile.

While Wei Nong was scheming against each other, Wei Qing was very happy in Shanghai.

Wei Qing and Daisy are now almost always together every day, as they have officially established a romantic relationship. The last time Zhao Cheng came to Shanghai, he had already met Daisy's sister and brother-in-law.

However, Zhao Cheng did not say who he was, and Daisy did not tell her sister and brother-in-law about Zhao Cheng's identity.

The two families were just like ordinary families. The parents met, had a meal, and then settled the matter between them.

The original plan was to get married before the Chinese New Year this year, but after Daisy and Wei Qing discussed it, they decided to hold it off until next year.

During this year, Daisy devoted herself to the clothing business. Not only did she make the export trade flourish, she even partnered with her classmate Ye Jinyan to set up a real estate company.

Of course, Daisy mainly provided technology and part of the funds, while Ye Jinyan provided most of the money.

Daisy was extremely busy on both sides, so she wanted to hire a professional manager for the clothing company, but such managers were really hard to find in China at that time.

"Xixi, why are you so sad? What happened?" Wei Qing came home from get off work and saw Daisy sitting in the living room with a sad face, so he asked curiously.

"Ye Jinyan and I are too busy with our real estate company and we can't handle it all, so I want to hire a professional manager to help me manage the clothing company. Unfortunately, we don't have such talent in our country right now!" Daisy said dejectedly.

"If we can't find it in China, let's look for it abroad!" Wei Qing thought it was a difficult matter, but this is the result?

"Overseas? Who can trust foreign managers? And those capable managers won't look down on a small company like ours, right?" Daisy said.

"You are also stuck in a dead end, aren't you? Abroad can also be Mingzhu! In your opinion, let's go find elder sister now and let her take you to Mingzhu!" Wei Qing said with a smile.

"Why do you want to find my elder sister? Can't I go by myself?" Daisy asked in confusion.

"You go alone? No, you don't have that much face. Actually, I can accompany you, but my workload has increased a lot now, and I really can't get away!" Wei Qing said helplessly.

Ever since Wei Qing got engaged, Section Chief Jin seemed to have received some information and began to secretly and intentionally add burdens to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing was miserable about this, but there was nothing he could do. This was a task assigned by Section Chief Jin himself, and he didn't dare to refuse!

"What do you mean by that I don't have that much face? Does that mean my elder sister will have face if she goes?" Daisy didn't understand.

She knew the basic situation of the Zhao family and that the Zhao family was related to Mingzhu, but what did this have to do with her finding a professional manager?

"You know Wanli Industry, right? It's the special zone company that provides you with clothing, Wanli Industry!" Wei Qing said.

"I know. The general manager of Wanli Industrial in the Special Economic Zone is very polite to our family." Daisy said.

"Then do you know that Wanli Industry has a greater influence in Mingzhu? It is one of the largest social organizations in Mingzhu. The brothers of the Lian family who run it are old acquaintances of my father, and there are some other relationships, but I don't know. If you go by yourself, maybe the Lian family will entertain you because you are the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family who has not yet married into the family. But if my eldest sister goes there, the Lian family will definitely attach more importance to it than if I go there myself!" Wei Qing said.

"Why?" Daisy didn't understand why Wei Hong was more valued than Wei Qing.

"Because the eldest sister is the real second-generation helmsman of the Zhao family besides the eldest brother. In fact, it should be that the eldest sister is the real second-generation helmsman of the Zhao family, and even the eldest brother has to take a back seat." Wei Qing said mysteriously.

"No way! My eldest brother is the eldest son and a high-ranking officer in the army. My eldest sister is married. How can he be the second generation to helm the Zhao family? I've never heard of a married daughter being in charge of the household. Shouldn't the eldest son or daughter-in-law be in charge?" Daisy was even more confused. Besides, her father-in-law shouldn't have said anything about this, right? How did Wei Qing know?

"Hehe, I know this because I saw Dad talking to Big Sister before. Dad said it himself, asking Big Sister to take on the responsibility of managing us brothers and sisters. There can't be favoritism, and there must be fairness and justice. And Big Sister also agreed readily!" Wei Qing said with a smile.

"Really? You heard it with your own ears? Why does it feel a little unreal to me?" Daisy said curiously.
