26: Chapter 26 Money from the Department

Just at this moment, Sun Ning's efforts finally paid off.

With the Elder's guarantee, he could set his mind at ease and develop Mishui Township.

Having been in office in Mishui Township for nearly two months, he could also announce his arrival to the outside world.

"Thank you for your support, Party Secretary. I will try my best to secure more funds and strive to renovate our township's primary school."

"What I support is the money, not the person, and right now, everything you're saying is just empty talk."

"Then I'll have to ask for a few days off. Why don't we try 'running to the ministries for funds'? While I'm at it, I can invite investors to come and inspect our Mishui Township."

"Good lad, go ahead, go ahead. I'll hold down the fort at the county level for a few more days."

"Then please sign this report, Party Secretary. Once the investors are confirmed, the two of us will go and report to the leaders."

"Haha, you lad, the old man accepts your good intentions, but I won't take credit for the achievement."

According to Sun Ning's plan, this development report for Mishui Township was intended to be presented together after the investors were secured.

With some achievements in hand, this report would also be more convincing.

And Sun Ning letting Secretary Xue Hongtao participate was not for the sake of sharing the credit.

If this old man had wanted to, he would have been a leader enjoying deputy-division-level treatment long ago.

He let Secretary Xue Hongtao participate for the sake of more stable development.

A report written by the two main leaders of a township would be taken seriously when presented to the County Party Committee and the County Government.

If this report did not receive support from the County Party Committee and the County Government,

he wouldn't even be able to requisition the land.

Relevant national laws clearly state that land requisition shall be announced and organized for implementation by local people's governments at or above the county level.

After some back-and-forth, seeing that Sun Ning's attitude was quite firm,

the stubborn old man finally signed his name on the report.

Aside from work, Sun Ning had no common topics with this stubborn old man.

Seeing that the matter was settled, he took his leave.

He still had some work to handle, so he prepared to set off for the capital.

The next afternoon, he had the township driver take him to Gongfan County. Without lingering long, he drove to Zhongzhou City.

On the way, he called Shang Rou to ask about the office location of Shenlan Food in Heyang.

Shang Rou, on the other end of the line, immediately guessed that Sun Ning had finished all the preparations.

She said she would have the person in charge in Heyang take the technical staff to Mishui Township.

But she was refused by Sun Ning.

Having Shenlan Food's staff go over on their own wouldn't cause as much of a sensation as him bringing them personally.

Furthermore, economic development is currently the center of focus, and if investors don't show a bit of reserve, the government would be suspicious.

To use the words of those nouveau riche, "Wherever I go waving my money, won't I be treated like the stars surrounding the moon?"

There's no such thing as a businessman begging to invest.

It was just that Shang Rou loved him to the bone and doted on this little man.

On the phone, Sun Ning also roughly mentioned that he was going to the capital to seek funding.

Who would have known that once this crazy woman, Shang Rou, heard this, she couldn't hold herself back.

She insisted on getting Sun Ning's flight information.

She kept saying she wanted to pick up Sun Ning, completely forgetting that she was in Hong Kong.

Since he was going to the capital, he would definitely have to visit Elder Shang and his wife, so he took some time to buy some local specialties from Heyang.

In particular, his mentor's wife loved to eat the peanut cakes and bucket chicken from his hometown.

Every time he returned to his hometown, he would bring some to the capital.

When it was finally time to get off work, Sun Ning drove to the vicinity of the Linzhai Police Station.

He had arranged to chat briefly with Deputy Chief Wei Minhang today, and didn't plan to meet Gao Feng.

Because the car had been arranged by Deputy Chief Wei Minhang, the two didn't need to call; the car door was opened by him.

After getting into the car, Deputy Chief Wei Minhang asked with malicious intent, "Confess honestly, who was that great beauty who came to drive last time? When did you hook up with a rich woman?"

"That is my senior sister, and also my girlfriend."

"Damn, you lad really have great luck with women. I'm not worse-looking than you, so why don't I have such good luck with women?"

Come to think of it, Deputy Chief Wei Minhang's words weren't wrong.

Sun Ning had been a "pretty boy" type since he was young, and his looks were outstanding among his classmates.

Only Deputy Chief Wei Minhang's physique and looks could rival his.

In his previous life, he was the one who envied Deputy Chief Wei Minhang's luck with women; in this life, it had become Deputy Chief Wei Minhang envying him.

Reborn into this life, it had brought earth-shaking changes to his life.

After Deputy Chief Wei Minhang finished being jealous, he asked Sun Ning what he wanted to eat.

Sun Ning ignored him and drove the car directly toward the vicinity of his university.

If one were to ask where the good food was, it was near the university campus, which was full of memories.

On the way, Sun Ning asked Deputy Chief Wei Minhang, "Brother Xiong, has there been any news in your jurisdiction recently?"

"The next few months are a critical period. You must keep a close eye on those petty thieves in your jurisdiction. Once there is any sign of trouble, report it to Mayor Gao immediately."

"Rest assured. You know my skills; after a few heavy drinking sessions, everyone becomes a brother."

Indeed, Sun Ning never doubted this guy's ability to make friends.

With his personality of having friends everywhere, he must be getting along swimmingly at the Linzhai Police Station.

However, making friends requires not only time and energy but also a financial foundation.

And the salary of a grassroots police officer was simply not enough to support his expenses.

If it weren't for the financial support from his father, who ran a clinic in Dongguan, he wouldn't dare to play like this.

Hearing Deputy Chief Wei Minhang's slightly smug words, Sun Ning said with a solemn expression, "Brother Xiong, we have bright futures ahead of us; you must never take bribes."

"You know me. I'll smoke a cigarette at most; I wouldn't dare touch anything else."

Regarding Sun Ning's warning, Deputy Chief Wei Minhang also thumped his chest to guarantee it.

Sun Ning knew him well; in his previous life, he had never heard any rumors about him.

But who knew what he would be like in this life?

Once a person has seen a higher mountain peak, they want to climb even higher peaks.

No one knows what accidents might happen along the way.

Sun Ning felt it was necessary to remind him.

"You have many places where you spend money, and your salary isn't enough for a few heavy drinking sessions. How about this: ask your uncle for some money, and I will give it to your sister-in-law. In the future, if you don't have money, just ask your sister-in-law for it."

Hearing Sun Ning's words, Deputy Chief Wei Minhang beamed and nodded incessantly.

He had met Shang Rou, and that temperament of hers clearly wasn't from a humble background.

Moreover, when Gao Feng instructed him to buy the car, it was clearly an attitude toward a superior.

Plus, the confidence in Sun Ning's voice couldn't be faked, so he said heroically,

"Then I'll go back and ask the old man for fifty thousand yuan to transfer to the sister-in-law."

"You rich dog."

After Sun Ning said this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

They returned to those green years, when he took care of him.

Arriving at their destination, the two cast aside all worries and had a big drinking session.

In this life, the strengthening of his physical fitness had also naturally increased his alcohol tolerance significantly.

He had not been drunk yet.

But Deputy Chief Wei Minhang was a drunkard who got drunk every time he drank.

So, the two of them's drinking capacity also stunned the restaurant owner.

The next day, Sun Ning boarded the plane to the capital.

One hour and forty minutes later, the plane landed smoothly at the capital airport.

Just as Sun Ning walked out of the domestic arrivals exit, a figure lunged at him.

In an instant, soft jade and warm fragrance!

"Is it a surprise?"

"Are you for real?"

"It couldn't be more real. I missed you!"
