Zhang Kezhang is too busy; someone should be reassigned to help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve considered this issue too,” Xia He nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I even asked Qunying directly—she said she could handle it... but it seems still serious. Let me call Qunying over; we’ll discuss how to resolve this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia He picked up the desk phone and made a call; within minutes, Zhang Qunying knocked and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sit down... Qunying,” Xia He said. “I heard you’re so busy you don’t even have time to eat in the cafeteria, so colleagues bring you meals?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These past two days have been hectic—I’m rushing to review a set of materials; enterprises have called multiple times already; we can’t delay any longer,” Zhang Qunying said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter how busy, you still need time to eat,” Xia He chuckled. “I just discussed this with Assistant Fang—we think you need relief. We’ll pull staff from other departments to help. If anyone in your department collapses from overwork, that’ll be a big problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qunying didn’t want staff pulled in—she feared lax reviews—but since Xia He had spoken, she couldn’t object further, especially since it came from genuine concern for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Deputy Director Xia. I’ll follow your arrangement,” Zhang Qunying said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Credit review is a highly specialized task; we shouldn’t pull too many people. How about this—pull two finance-savvy staff from the Finance and Accounting Department, plus two from your department, split into two teams, each led by me and Assistant Fang, to conduct on-site enterprise reviews. This phase is relatively independent and time-consuming. What do you think, Assistant Fang?” Xia He looked at Fang Qingye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no objections,” Fang Qingye replied, though internally he thought:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia He really won’t let Su Ming interfere with the Credit Department—not even letting him lead on-site reviews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Qunying, bring me the list of all enterprises currently under review; Assistant Fang and I will divide the assignments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qunying left quickly; Xia He turned to Fang Qingye and suddenly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t expect what?” Fang Qingye asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect you to agree so readily to trudge out to enterprises in this heat,” Xia He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey... Senior, you’re a beautiful woman and you’re not afraid of heat or getting sunburned—what’s there for a big guy like me to fear?!” Fang Qingye joked aloud, though internally he thought:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got ripped off... I went through all this trouble just for a little vinegar—ended up making a whole batch of dumplings! I’ll have to ask Da Hai for compensation later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Zhang Qunying brought the list of recent enterprises under review; Fang Qingye glanced at it—twenty-five companies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy shit...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanguard Commander Chongjian Co., Ltd. was clearly on the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Director Xia, you lead the team to review large enterprises—their loan amounts are big, so you must oversee them closely. I’ll handle the small and medium-sized ones,” Fang Qingye proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine,” Xia He agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two staff pulled from Finance and Accounting arrived quickly, along with two from Credit Department; Chen Meimei was also assigned to join the fieldwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team was quickly split into two groups, each led by Xia He and Fang Qingye, to begin consecutive field visits starting tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Qingye’s group consisted of Chen Meimei and Zhang Chunli, a female accountant from Finance and Accounting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Director Fang, which company do we visit first tomorrow?” Chen Meimei asked in Fang Qingye’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vanguard Commander Chongjian Co., Ltd.!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Deputy Director Fang. I’ll call the company to notify them of tomorrow’s on-site review and ask them to prepare. Then I’ll go with Sister Zhang to review their submitted documents and get familiar with their situation,” Chen Meimei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. After you’ve reviewed everything, send the materials over for me to look at.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left, the office fell quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Qingye sipped tea, opened his computer, and began browsing news—when his desk phone rang. It was Song Dahai calling; he answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Zi, you’re doing well... Now that you’re Deputy Director, things are different. Just now, Boss Tian called me—he said the bank has scheduled tomorrow’s vehicle inspection at their place, and you’re leading the team yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey... I’ve gone and created trouble for myself. Isn’t it better to sit in the office with air conditioning in this heat? But no—I have to go out, and it’s not just his company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Qingye briefly explained the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Song Dahai laughed heartily: “Alright, I’ll tell Boss Tian to thank you properly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Da Hai, don’t tell Boss Tian that—I’m doing this because of our relationship,” Fang Qingye hurried to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it. I know. Well, I’ve got work to do... Bye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, after eating breakfast at the office, Fang Qingye prepared to head out to the countryside, riding in the unit’s Santana 2000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nanxin Branch had two cars but only one driver; if both needed to be used simultaneously, staff had to drive themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Zhang Chunli nor Chen Meimei could drive, so Fang Qingye had to be the driver himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a pain...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the blazing sun outside, Fang Qingye started the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanguard Commander Chongjian Co., Ltd. was located in the Liulin Town industrial park; Fang Qingye drove over forty minutes to reach Liulin Town, entered the industrial zone, and arrived at the company building, where he saw Tian Zhonggu and several others waiting at the main entrance—apparently their leadership team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Santana stop at the entrance, Tian Zhonggu rushed over to open the door—only to discover Fang Qingye was driving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Director Fang, why are you driving yourself?” Tian Zhonggu asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We only have one driver—he’s overwhelmed,” Fang Qingye said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, if I’d known, I’d have sent a car to pick you up in the county.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Qingye got out, shook hands with the others, exchanged introductions, and the group entered the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Director Fang, here’s my plan—it’s so hot, let’s first go to the conference room to cool off, eat some watermelon, rest a bit, then I’ll give you my report,” Tian Zhonggu said as they walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No conference room. Skip the report—we’ve already read your materials. Let’s keep it simple: one of us checks your financial records, another reviews your credit history and fixed assets; I’ll walk around your factory and observe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll accompany you. Let me arrange things quickly,” Tian Zhonggu said immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine... don’t forget to prepare watermelon for the two ladies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Qingye wasn’t aimlessly wandering—he was following protocol: on-site enterprise review required observing the factory, equipment, raw materials, and even workers’ production conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By noon, the review was largely complete. The three met in the conference room, exchanged findings, found no serious issues, filled out the required forms, and finished the day’s inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At mealtime, Tian Zhonggu invited them to stay for lunch; Fang Qingye naturally accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Qingye was driving, and the two women didn’t drink baijiu, so no alcohol was served. After a simple meal, Fang Qingye prepared to drive back to the county.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Director Fang, please wait a moment,” Tian Zhonggu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, someone brought three beautifully packaged gift boxes and placed them in the trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Director Fang, a small token of appreciation,” Tian Zhonggu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1288,"2026-06-20T05:58:40.725Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c5fcb472458c7a81a48824c76565bf6263f40b9f7ee3fc14c4fd0109a405bb80","i-m-in-a-small-county-and-you-say-i-m-a-big-shot-chapter-63","i-m-in-a-small-county-and-you-say-i-m-a-big-shot-chapter-61",215,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-in-a-small-county-and-you-say-i-m-a-big-shot-cover.jpg"]
