After listening to Hu Mei's words, Shi Yuntao couldn't say anything more, and only afterwards did he know that Maohua Group was not just investing in a five-star hotel, but wanted to take advantage of this to win the prime location of Gaolan County.

And afterwards, Shi Yuntao learned that Maohua Group was the company of Chang Banxian, and Chang Banxian's real name was Chang Maohua.

Shi Yuntao didn't want to participate in this groundbreaking ceremony, but Zhao Jiangliu asked him to go and let him go to cheer for him, so as to reflect the importance of the county party committee and county government to attract investment.

Shi Yuntao had to go, and the next morning, Hu Mei came to call him on time, he went downstairs, and got into his special car.

It is impossible for the executive deputy county magistrate not to have a special car, and the driver of the special car has been waiting downstairs for a long time.

As soon as he saw him coming, the chauffeur hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for him, but Shi Yuntao had not arranged a secretary for him at this time.

Almost all county leaders have secretaries, especially the county magistrates and deputy county magistrates of the county government, because there are many things to do, and secretaries are indispensable.

As soon as Shi Yuntao came over, Hu Mei didn't have time to arrange a secretary for him, Shi Yuntao got into the car and went to the groundbreaking ceremony.

In addition to Zhao Jiangliu and Shi Yuntao, Ma Wenxiu, secretary of the county party committee, as well as the director of the county people's congress and the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference all attended.

Shi Yuntao met Chang Maohua, Chang Maohua was wearing a suit and tie, while he was wearing a thick jacket, and Zhao Jiangliu and Ma Wenxiu were also wearing suits.

In this way, Shi Yuntao felt that he was a little funny, everyone else wore suits and ties, and they were very formal, but he was wearing civilian clothes, and it was very abrupt to stand in a bunch of leaders.

All the leaders had small red flowers pinned to their chests, looking very festive, and Hu Mei didn't make it clear to Shi Yuntao in advance, which made Shi Yuntao feel that it was not very good-looking.

This groundbreaking ceremony will definitely broadcast the news, and when everyone sees him dressed casually on TV, it will definitely cause criticism.

Shi Yuntao didn't know if it was Hu Mei's negligence or deliberate, anyway, he felt that he had just come to Gaolan County, and everyone welcomed it on the surface, but he didn't know what to think in private.

He became the executive deputy county magistrate at a young age, and the people in the county don't know how many years of struggle, or they can't reach his height in a lifetime, can they not envy and hate him?

Therefore, everyone privately specified what they wanted him to look like, so that he could fall on his heels, so Shi Yuntao had to be cautious at this time and gain a firm foothold in Gaolan County first.

The groundbreaking ceremony went quickly, about less than 40 minutes to end, as soon as it was over, the hostesses of Maohua Group came over to give red envelopes to the leaders and staff attending the groundbreaking ceremony.

Shi Yuntao naturally received one, looking at the red envelope handed over, he thought about not accepting it, but if he didn't accept it, he would be even more abrupt, how would he gain a foothold in Gaolan County in the future?

This kind of red envelope is sometimes the norm, and why sometimes there is a groundbreaking ceremony is for publicity, and on the other hand, there are other ideas.

Of course, this situation will not exist in the future, but at this time, I didn't think it was a big deal to seal a little red envelope to the leaders who attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

Shi Yuntao pinched the thickness of the red envelope, felt that there was a lot of content in the red envelope, and felt that there was 10,000 yuan, Maohua Group was really generous, 10,000 yuan per person, there were almost a dozen leaders here, this is more than 100,000 yuan, plus other staff, there are almost more than 200,000 yuan.

As soon as the groundbreaking ceremony was over, everyone went to the restaurant for dinner, Shi Yuntao got in the car and asked the driver: "Did you receive a red envelope?" ”

The driver replied: "Yes, Boss Chang is really generous, one person gave two thousand." ”

Ordinary staff give two thousand is not a lot, and the driver naturally can't say how much he gave to the leader, how much he gave to the leader, that's a secret.

Shi Yuntao thought for a while, took out the red envelope he received himself, and said, "Xiao Jiang, I also received a red envelope here, give it to you." ”

As he spoke, he threw the red envelope over, and Xiao Jiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "County Magistrate Shi, I don't want it, you take it." ”

The leader's red envelope, how dare the driver ask for it??

But Shi Yuntao didn't want to take the money, since it was not easy to return, he gave it to Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang is a local driver, and he still wants Xiao Jiang to be loyal to him in the future, and learn something from his mouth.

The driver sometimes knows more than ordinary cadres, Xiao Jiang used to drive for the former executive deputy county magistrate, and at this time he was worried about whether he could still drive for Shi Yuntao, so he thought in his heart whether to give Shi Yuntao a gift and let Shi Yuntao agree to him to continue driving, so he didn't dare to accept Shi Yuntao's red envelope anyway.

Seeing that Xiao Jiang insisted on not accepting it, Shi Yuntao said: "Since you don't want it, you can help me donate to the Hope Project, donate anonymously, don't write your name." ”

Xiao Jiang glanced at Shi Yuntao very strangely, and felt that Shi Yuntao was very different, you must know that this kind of red envelope has a share, if you don't take it for nothing, nothing will happen if you take it, why doesn't Shi Yuntao take it? ?

Is it because Shi Yuntao can't look down on this little money? It's not like that, who is afraid of burning their hands with too much money.

After thinking about it, Xiao Jiang still agreed to Shi Yuntao's request and helped Shi Yuntao donate to the Hope Project.

Because of this episode, the chatterbox between Shi Yuntao and Xiao Jiang was opened.

"Xiao Jiang, is Maohua Group owned by Chang Maohua alone?" Shi Yuntao asked.

Xiao Jiang immediately replied: "Chang Maohua is a celebrity in our county, and Maohua Group is his private, and it has developed rapidly in recent years, and everyone in our Gaolan County knows about it." ”

Shi Yuntao listened to it and asked in a condensed voice: "I heard that his nickname is Half Immortal?" ”

Xiao Jiang laughed when he heard it and said: "Yes, he will show people his faces, fortune telling, and he is quite accurate, County Magistrate Shi, you haven't been in contact with him yet, you will know as soon as you get in touch with him." ”

Shi Yuntao heard this: "Then this is a bit interesting, how can a fortune teller make such a big business??" ”

Xiao Jiang didn't speak for a while, Shi Yuntao glanced at him and said, "Chang Maohua also covered the entire Lanhe?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jiang said: "Chang Maohua has a sand field on the other side of the Lan River, so it is not enough to contract the entire Lan River, the Lan River is so big, how did he contract it?" ”

Hearing the word battlefield, Shi Yuntao suddenly understood, this battlefield is not something that ordinary people can manage, when he was the head of Wusha Township in Xiacheng County, the people who contracted the battlefield were all ruffians and hooligans, and Chang Maohua owned the Maohua Group at this time, how could he still open a battlefield?

Shi Yuntao felt that he had to understand Chang Maohua's background well, and he would definitely have to deal with Chang Maohua in the future, if he didn't understand his situation in advance, it would not be good.

Shi Yuntao talked to Xiao Jiang along the way, and arrived at the hotel, which was also opened by Chang Maohua, where Chang Maohua warmly entertained leaders at all levels.
