Li Xiulan

Zhang Sheng received a call from Wang Xiaohua and was immediately overjoyed.

"Xiao Hua, what's the matter?"

But he was still knowingly asking.

He's just that kind of person, hides things very deep.

Even if he has someone grasped, he won't get carried away.

Wang Xiaohua said:

"That one million of yours really came at just the right time, so I'm calling specially to thank you! General Manager Zhang, on behalf of all the poor households in Shangang Town, I bow to you in respect!"

"Hm?" Hearing this, Zhang Sheng immediately froze, instantly smelling something fishy.

"Xiao Hua, what do you mean by this?"

The smile on Zhang Sheng's face was gone.

Wang Xiaohua played dumb and explained:

"Didn't you have my second brother transfer me one million? This one million has already gone into Shangang Town's poverty alleviation account, and will be donated to all poor households in Shangang Town. One million is small change to you, General Manager Zhang, yet it can solve the livelihood problems of countless poor families in Shangang Town! So I must express my gratitude to you!"

Zhang Sheng's face turned black, and for a moment he couldn't speak.

Wang Xiaohua continued:

"You don't know, this matter of you donating 1 million has already caused a sensation among the entire Shangang Town leadership team. The higher-ups even said they'll hold a commendation conference for you in three days, and request that you, General Manager Zhang, take time out of your busy schedule to attend! At that time, our entire town leadership team will express our thanks to you in person!"

Wang Xiaohua had already said it to this extent, what else could Zhang Sheng say?

He could only dryly laugh and say: "Fine, I'll come over in three days."

If he didn't even attend this commendation conference, that one million he sent out would really have gone to waste.

So he had to go even if pinching his nose!

After hanging up Wang Xiaohua's call, Zhang Sheng was very angry, because he felt he'd been played.

He happened to be at Liguo Mountain right now.

So he immediately went to Wang Erhai's office to confront Wang Erhai face to face.

"General Manager Wang, last night, are you sure you transferred the money to your third brother?"

Zhang Sheng opened by directly questioning.

Wang Erhai's heart skipped a beat; he knew Zhang Sheng was somewhat angry.

But the more it was this kind of time, the more he couldn't panic, the more he had to play dumb!

"Yeah, what about it?"

Zhang Sheng asked:

"Are you sure it was transferred into your third brother's account?"

Wang Erhai said:

"Should be, I gave him a call, said General Manager Zhang wanted to give him one million, he readily agreed, then sent me an account and told me to transfer the money into that account. That's definitely his account, right? He couldn't possibly have me transfer money into someone else's account, could he?"

Zhang Sheng with a black face:

"He donated the money to the Shangang Town Poverty Alleviation Office, and even said he'd hold some commendation conference for me!"

Wang Erhai immediately put on an exaggerated look of shock:

"No way, this is 1 million we're talking about, my third brother actually just donated it like that?"

Then he explained again:

"I really didn't know he'd do this. When I gave him the money last night, I didn't think much of it! But this is a good thing for you, General Manager Zhang. A commendation conference can leave a good reputation! Why do you look not too happy, General Manager Zhang?"

Zhang Sheng looked at Wang Erhai, discovering Wang Erhai's face was full of puzzlement, unable to pick out a single flaw.

In the end he could only take a deep breath, self-regulate his emotions:

"Then this really can't be blamed on you. It should be your third brother acting on his own initiative."

Wang Erhai said:

"That's definitely him acting on his own initiative! No good, I'll have to give him a good talking-to later. One million isn't small change. His job only pays a monthly salary of two thousand plus. How many years would he have to work to earn one million? Yet he just donated it like that. He really studied until he went stupid!"

Zhang Sheng dryly laughed:

"Don't talk about your third brother like that either. He has grand ambitions, that's why he doesn't care about this bit of money. You get back to work, I won't disturb you further."

"Sure thing, General Manager Zhang, take care!"

Zhang Sheng turned to leave, walked to the door, but then turned back:

"Right, the commendation conference in Shangang Town in three days, you and I go together."

"Okay, General Manager Zhang!"

Zhang Sheng turned and went out the door, only then muttering a curse in a low voice:

"Damn it, actually got played a trick by that little brat Wang Xiaohua! Looks like I really underestimated him!"

But after cursing, Zhang Sheng quickly regained his calm.

The admiration in his heart for Wang Xiaohua, compared to before, not only didn't decrease but increased.

If Wang Xiaohua had peacefully accepted this one million of his, that would show Wang Xiaohua has no grand ambitions. Even if he gets promoted later, his official position could never go very high.

But Wang Xiaohua's operation this time not only shows he possesses wisdom beyond ordinary people, but also extremely grand ambitions. He's bound to have a limitless future!

Only this kind of person is worthy of him, Zhang Sheng, investing heavily in!

Moreover, he was absolutely certain that as long as the investment went out, the future returns would not be three times or five times, not even ten times or twenty times, but a hundred times or a thousand times!

Since ancient times, merchants have had to rely on the protection of the powerful and noble.

Why has Zhang Sheng never been able to get out of this county town?

Isn't it because outside the county town there is no powerful and noble force to rely on?

If he invests in Wang Xiaohua now, and waits five or ten years, and Wang Xiaohua rises step by step, walks out of this small county town, and becomes an official in another region, then won't he be able to borrow this East Wind from Wang Xiaohua and walk out of this county town along with him?

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Shangang Town One Million Donation Commendation Conference was held on schedule inside the Conference Hall of the Town Government Office.

A banner reading "Thank Mr. Zhang Sheng for Donating One Million in Charitable Funds to the Poverty Alleviation Office" hung in the most prominent spot right above the conference hall.

He Gaofeng, Zhong Hongtao, and the rest of the Town Government Leaders were responsible for presiding over this Commendation Conference.

The entire Town Government's cadres all attended.

Reporters from the County TV Station were also invited over.

When Zhang Sheng walked in, everyone in the hall applauded enthusiastically.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this conference was not simply a charitable donation commendation conference; it was also an Investment Promotion Conference!

As long as they persuaded Zhang Sheng to come to Shangang Town to invest in real estate development, the entire Town Government Leadership Team would enjoy the dividends within!

Not only the Town Government, but the people of the whole town would also enjoy the dividends!

At that time, it was the tail end of the last few years of the rising phase of real estate, which was also when house prices were highest; high house prices also meant land prices would be high.

High land prices meant that for the local government, land finance revenue would be an extremely substantial figure!

The real estate projects on the county town side had been developing at full throttle in recent years.

Yet Shangang Town, this poor township, still did not have a single real estate project to this day!

Moreover, because the whole town is a mountainous area, there isn't a single decent factory here either!

So Shangang Town's fiscal revenue can be said to be pitifully little; every year they just persist by relying on transfer payments from above!

While the ordinary people of the whole town live hard days, the Town Government Leaders naturally also live hard days along with them!

Without exaggeration, as long as a real estate project is facilitated, the fiscal revenue of the entire Shangang Town will see a skyrocketing surge!

This is also why the Town Government Leadership Team headed by He Gaofeng attaches such importance to Zhang Sheng's arrival this time!

At this very moment, Zhang Sheng arrived at the scene.

He thought that as long as he politely accepted the so-called commendation, after the conference ended, he would be able to leave quickly.

Just in case, he had also brought Wang Erhai along; if it came time to eat and drink, he would have Wang Erhai block the alcohol for him.

He still had not realized at all that the entire Shangang Town Government Leadership Team viewed him like a piece of big fatty meat!
