The mont he heard this, Shen Qiang was slightly surprised, and at the sa ti, Aunt Xiu Lian, the Village Chief, and the Security Union Captain's eyes lit up instantly, while Secretary Ma and the others were stunned.
"Quick, Old Shen, it's really County Head Zhang! What are you still standing here for? Hurry to greet him!" The Village Chief, who had stood up, glanced outside and imdiately said with delight.
Shen Qiang quickly ca to his senses, turned around and ran outside, saying as he opened the door, "At ho, please co in!"
Aunt Xiu Lian's eyes were unusually bright.
"Oh my, the County Head visiting, this is not ordinary at all."
Almost at the sa ti, Shen Qiang also looked at the Village Secretary with great astonishnt, accompanying a very sharp-looking middle-aged man, walking into the house.
Shen Qiang remained calm.
But those standing by the sofa, Secretary Ma and Ma Jiyong, along with the three uncles, all had their expressions change.
"Co, co, co, Shen Qiang, let introduce you." The Village Secretary said cheerfully as he entered the house: "This is our County Head Zhang."
The sharp-looking County Head Zhang smiled as he shook hands with Shen Qiang, saying, "I'm the Executive Deputy County Head, one of our three Deputy County Heads."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, "You're too modest, you're the First Deputy County Head."
County Head Zhang smiled.
At this ti, the Village Secretary introduced another man next to him, about fifty years old, to Shen Qiang: "Shen Qiang, this is Director Li from our county's Finance Bureau, the chief."
Shen Qiang smiled, nodded, and shook hands.
Then, the Village Secretary introduced the middle-aged man standing behind the two to Shen Qiang: "This is Director Wang from our county's Investnt Promotion Office."
Upon hearing the words Investnt Promotion Office, Shen Qiang instantly understood why they ca.
But he still smiled and shook hands with this Investnt Promotion Office Director.
"Chairman Shen, it's really hard to et you." The Investnt Promotion Office Director wouldn't let go of Shen Qiang's hand, saying, "Before the Spring Festival, I waited in the Provincial City for a month, visited your company seven or eight tis, never saw you, so I had to choose this ti, and took the liberty to visit your ho with County Head Zhang and Director Li."
Upon hearing this, the Village Chief and the Security Union Captain's eyes lit up like light bulbs,
Aunt Xiu Lian was even more surprised, clapping her thigh.
"Quick, quick, have a seat." Upon hearing this, although she didn't fully understand the situation, Shen Qiang's mother, not being foolish, quickly invited them.
Just then, County Head Zhang glanced at Secretary Ma, who stood silly on the side, and Ma Jiyong, who still had footprints on his face and tissue in his nose, and said curiously, "Hey, aren't you Deputy County Head Liu's secretary, Little Ma? What are you doing here, are you and Shen Qiang classmates?"
Upon hearing this, Secretary Ma turned pale and said, "No, no, County Head Zhang, don't misunderstand, I just ca here by coincidence."
County Head Zhang smiled, and with Shen Qiang's mother's invitation, he sat on the sofa, saying, "Oh, I see you're here on Old Liu's behalf. He knew I was coming today and didn't give a heads up, even let you run here. This is really too formal."
Instantly, Secretary Ma's face turned as white as a sheet of paper.
Because he knew very well.
There is one main County Head and three deputies in the county, and the Deputy County Head Zhang in front, is truly the First Deputy County Head, who can take full responsibility for any matter in the absence of the County Head, while Deputy County Head Liu assists the County Head, responsible for educational matters.
In essence, County Head Zhang has more authority than County Head Liu.
And from a work perspective, Deputy County Head Liu and Deputy County Head Zhang are naturally competitors, although they politely say Deputy County Head Liu is too formal.
But Secretary Ma could instantly tell that County Head Zhang was obviously finding fault, knowing very well that Deputy County Head Liu was aware of his visit, why send you here? What are you up to?
Thinking that County Head Zhang might call Deputy County Head Liu at any mont, Secretary Ma's legs turned weak.
"County Head Zhang, you misunderstand, Deputy County Head Liu didn't send , my brother had sothing to discuss with Shen Qiang, and I just happened to have ti today, so I accompanied him," Secretary Ma, sweating profusely, explained.
County Head Zhang nodded, "Oh, supporting your brother, I see, have a seat, have a seat."
Upon hearing these words, Secretary Ma could only sit, but felt like sitting on pins and needles, half of his behind on the sofa, the other half hanging in the air, then nervously said, "County Head Zhang, I didn't know you were coming. Since you are here, you must have important things to discuss with Shen Qiang, so I won't disturb you, I'll leave now."
Hearing this, Deputy County Head Zhang certainly had no objections, but polite words still needed to be said.
"Secretary Ma is not an outsider, there's nothing you can't listen to, County Committee's Secretary Wu will also arrive later, if there's no urgent matter, you better stay."
Upon hearing these words, sweat dripped down Secretary Ma's forehead like rain.
Secretary Wu is the Deputy Secretary of the Party Branch of the County Committee. If he ca and found out Secretary Ma was here to force Shen Qiang to lend thirty million to his brother, with just one word, Secretary Ma would be sent ho.
"No, no, County Head Zhang, you all are busy, I really have sothing to do, I will go first."
Seeing Secretary Ma stand up wanting to leave.
Shen Qiang didn't say anything.
But what kind of person is Aunt Xiu Lian?
Always observing and crafty, known throughout the whole Yingbei, seeing Secretary Ma drenched in sweat like that, she imdiately knew this was a perfect opportunity.
"Oh, Secretary Ma, leaving so soon, didn't you just say, if Shen Qiang doesn't lend your brother thirty million today, it won't be long before you'll make Shen Qiang kneel and beg you?"
Upon hearing these words, the Investnt Promotion Office Director, County Finance Bureau Director Li, and County Head Zhang, who had just sat down, were stunned.
"No, I didn't, I..." Secretary Ma, sweating profusely, was at a loss for words.
Seeing his awkward state, Aunt Xiu Lian continued, "Oh, weren't you chattering non-stop just now? Saying that Shen Qiang must either move or kneel and beg you, even saying that you knew Shen Qiang had no relatives in the County Committee, and that if he wanted to do business, he'd have to ask you for favors in the future."
Secretary Ma's face turned as pale as a ghost, watching the County Head Zhang's face turn cold, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Because what Aunt Xiu Lian said was true.
"Is there such a thing?" County Head Zhang raised his eyebrows.
The Village Chief and the Security Union Captain imdiately said.
"When you guys entered the yard, Secretary Ma was saying this."
"That's right, we heard it clearly."
Upon hearing this, County Head Zhang's face imdiately darkened, and he said sharply, "Secretary Ma! You really have guts! Dare to do anything? Do you know who Shen Qiang is? The Chairman of Heshenghe Group, a star entrepreneur of provincial importance. Don't ntion a county committee secretary, even the Provincial City Mayor isn't above him! They need an appointnt to et Mr. Shen!"
"If Mr. Shen wants to et, it depends on whether he has ti or not, and yet you dare to co here to extort Shen Qiang? I think your good days are over!"
Instantly, Secretary Ma collapsed into the sofa.
