Chapter 470: Clinging to Liu Jianghua's Thigh

Under Chen Yang's persuasion, Zhu Junhao reluctantly returned the excess building materials fees to the various construction contractors. Lai Yongfa's Yongfa Real Estate Company's financial predicament was also temporarily resolved.

But Chen Yang felt the matter wouldn't just pass like that. Because Zhu Junhao is a person who is very greedy and lacks his own opinion, making him easy to be used as a pawn. Moreover, he happens to have someone skilled at manipulating people's hearts beside him: Zheng Weimin.

Chen Yang had never met Zheng Weimin, but from his two instances of inciting Zhu Junhao to do bad deeds, he guessed that this person was not a good one.

Moreover, Yexin told him that Wang Haifeng's actions against him were also instigated by this Zheng Weimin.

Having no grudge or enmity, yet having been schemed against several times, Chen Yang felt extremely displeased.

After returning home, Chen Yang called Sun Changqing.

"Mayor Sun, do you know Zheng Weimin?"

"Zheng Weimin is the son of Deputy Mayor Zheng. What's up? Do you two have a conflict?"

"I have no direct conflict with him. However, I've heard he has repeatedly stirred up Chairman Zhu to do some bad things. I don't know what his purpose is……"

"Chairman Zhu? You mean Zhu Tianhao? What wicked deed has that guy done again?"

"Mayor Sun, you'd better go ask Chairman Zhu yourself. If I were to say it, I'd offend someone. But personally, I believe Chairman Zhu is definitely being manipulated by that Zheng Weimin."

"Alright, then I'll investigate it myself!" After saying that, Sun Changqing hung up the phone.

Chen Yang lay on the sofa, thinking for a while, feeling that this Zheng Weimin must be given attention. Although they have never even met, the other party has repeatedly caused him trouble.

Chen Yang picked up his phone and called Yexin.

"Sister Xin, is Zheng Weimin's background clean or not?"

"The shareholders of Worry-free Residence—if you really investigate, not a single one is clean. This Zheng Weimin is greedy for money and lustful, with deep scheming. Based on my understanding of him, I'd guess he's again fooling someone into tripping you up."

"This bastard made Zhu Junhao learn Zhou Zhixin's methods, almost causing the contractor of one of my projects to go bankrupt. If I don't give him a lesson, I'd really be seen as a weakling!"

"Chen Yang, let me remind you: Zhu Junhao and Zheng Weimin are of the same ilk; you'd better keep your distance from them. Zheng Weimin incites Zhu Junhao to do bad deeds, so you'd better pretend you didn't see it. When something happens, Mayor Sun will naturally take care of that Zheng Weimin."

"Big sis, if I ignore it, can you guarantee that Zheng Weimin won't get cocky?"

"He's just a fox borrowing the tiger's might; as long as Wang Haifeng temporarily doesn't cause you trouble, even if he's resentful, he can only stare helplessly."

"But..."

"Cut the 'but'! If you still treat me as your sister, before the year's end you'd better ignore everything. After the year passes, things will naturally work out."

Chen Yang thought for a moment; after the New Year, the Dongjiangsheng Provincial Party Committee will undergo leadership change. If all goes as expected, Cheng Hua will become the new Dongjiangsheng Provincial Party Committee Secretary, and Liu Jianghua will succeed him in the Governor's position.

Yexin having Chen Yang wait at this time likely means she's waiting for the day Liu Jianghua takes over the Governor's position.

In that case, Chen Yang only needs to cling tightly to Liu Jianghua's thigh, and Wang Haiyang and the shareholders of Worry-free Residence will have no way to deal with him.

Thinking this through, Chen Yang can only temporarily set aside the idea of dealing with Zheng Weimin.

After returning to Qingshui City, Chen Yang contacted a new building materials supplier for Lai Yongfa, and then advanced ten million yuan in project funds, finally allowing the fruit market to resume construction.

During the following period, Chen Yang either studied human reproduction plans with Lin Wei at home, or shuttled between several companies in Qingshui City for inspections.

By the end of December, Liu Jianghua suddenly called and summoned him back to Xingcheng.

"Chen Yang, you little brat, what kind of mystic formation are you playing with? There are only two days left until New Year's Day, yet your company's e-commerce platform promotion shows no movement at all."

Chen Yang now needs to cling to Liu Jianghua's thigh, so he dares not conceal anything and directly says: "Governor Liu, we aren't planning a New Year's Day promotion; we're preparing to use all our resources for the Spring Festival Gala promotion."

Upon hearing that Chen Yang's promotion target was aimed at the Spring Festival Gala, Liu Jianghua immediately developed strong interest.

"Chen Yang, the Spring Festival Gala faces an audience of over a billion nationwide; you must definitely prepare well, and absolutely don't let our Dongjiangsheng lose face!"

Seeing Liu Jianghua's misunderstanding, Chen Yang quickly said: "Governor Liu, the Spring Festival Gala I'm referring to is not the same as the one you mean. I want to sponsor our Dongjiangsheng's Spring Festival Gala!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianghua's happy expression vanished instantly. He furrowed his brows and said: "Chen Yang, didn't you sponsor the provincial Spring Festival Gala last year? Why not make it bigger this year?"

Chen Yang didn't expect Liu Jianghua to be so enthusiastic about the national Spring Festival Gala; he wryly smiled and said: "Governor Liu, sponsoring the national Spring Festival Gala requires contacting CCTV's leadership months in advance. I've been busy expanding business this year and have no time to arrange it. If you want to watch the Spring Festival Gala on the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform, I'll spare no effort next year—even selling my possessions—to get this task done."

Liu Jianghua gave Chen Yang a contemptuous look and said bluntly: "You brat, don't talk so tragically? With your current net worth, which merchant in all of Dongjiangsheng could compare?"

Seeing that pleading poverty was useless, Chen Yang immediately replied with a grin: "Governor Liu, no matter how rich I am, I still have to obey your leadership."

Liu Jianghua let out a soft snort and said: "You brat, your wings have hardened now; can my words still get through to you?"

Chen Yang immediately raised his hand and swore: "Governor Liu, heaven and earth as my witness, I have never been careless about the tasks you entrusted me with!"

Liu Jianghua asked Chen Yang: "Then I let you handle the New Year's promotion—why aren't you listening?"

Chen Yang hastily explained: "Governor Liu, the Double Eleven event just ended not long ago; many people have yet to finish consuming the products they bought. Even if we run a promotion now, it won't have much effect."

"Moreover, right after New Year's comes the Spring Festival. According to our company's consumer survey, shoppers hope to receive benefits equal to those of Double Eleven when purchasing New Year goods. That's why I abandoned the New Year's promotion."

Liu Jianghua pondered and felt Chen Yang's reasoning made sense. However, he still regretted that Chen Yang failed to secure the national Spring Festival Gala advertising sponsorship.

"Since you're planning a big promotion before the year ends, you should all the more strive for the national Spring Festival Gala ad slot. Even if it's not the main sponsorship, inserting a commercial would also work!"

Chen Yang, not wanting to dampen Liu Jianghua's spirits, could only nod in agreement: "Governor Liu, I'll first have Manager Shen contact CCTV's leadership to try to secure an ad slot."

Liu Jianghua was very pleased with Chen Yang's attitude. If the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform could become a hit overnight thanks to the Spring Festival Gala, then Dongjiangsheng's economic development for next year would become much more diversified.
