Reborn as a Noble's Son

Generally, during a leadership inspection, the leaders do not move or act recklessly. This isn’t because the lower-level officials are restraining them, rather, the leaders themselves do not want to deviate and cause any unexpected situations.

However, Lin Haikun’s actions at the moment seem somewhat out of line. In doing so, he not only poses additional challenges for the local security in Li County, but should an event arise, the local officials of Li County would also have to suffer alongside him.

Moreover, Lin Haikun’s actions appear to be exceedingly presumptuous. It is blatant that he does not trust the plans laid out by Li County and is only trying to listen for differing opinions.

At this moment, seeing such a high-ranking leader approach, the locals of Lixian have all paused, as Lin Haikun is now standing in front of a villager.

With a warm smile, Lin Haikun said very affably: “Fellow villager, first of all, I represent the Party Committee and Government of the Autonomous Region, I appreciate your grand welcome. Has all of this been arranged by the county party committee and county government?”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Liu Wenqing’s face change, but Nie Zhenbang’s and Zhang Chubin’s expressions also changed. What was Lin Haikun implying? As the standing deputy chairman of an Autonomous Region government, he shouldn’t lack such political wisdom.

In asking this, isn’t he pointedly implying that the government has staged this impression? In a leadership inspection, Li County was actually doing pretty well. In some places, schools are closed to allow students to line the streets, banners in hand, giving the leaders a warm reception. Executives usually wouldn’t question it even if they knew this was all pre-arranged. This time, however, Lin Haikun’s actions seemed a bit excessive.

Liu Wenqing was also losing face. If a problem occurred, it will put both Li County and Bazhou City leadership in a difficult position.

At this moment Zhang Chubin intentionally lagged behind and whispered, “Zhenbang, it seems like this guy is not here for good. ”

Nie Zhenbang gave a cold laugh and replied, “Old Zhang, so long as we act upright, why should we be afraid? Besides, I think the situation isn ‘t that complex. ”

This statement puzzled Zhang Chubin somewhat, and he said emotionally, “Zhenbang, what’s going on with you today? You’ve never had this attitude before. This is clearly bullying us. ”

Nie Zhenbang laughed. It seemed that ever since he arrived in Li County, the entire province’s officials had raised their sights, they were no longer in awe of high-ranking leaders like Lin Haikun.

Soon after, Nie Zhenbang whispered, “Old Zhang, this time, our Li County is in the limelight. Think about it, the economic growth of other cities in the region is still in the single digits percentages. Here, as soon as we report upwards, we surpass them by tenfold. Isn ‘t this a slap in the face for other cities?”

Zhang Chubin was not foolish and immediately understood Nie Zhenbang’s words, he asked: “Zhenbang, are you implying that…?”

Nie Zhenbang nodded, continuing the conversation, “That’s right. I feel that the more outrageous and excessive Lin Haikun acts, the stronger the authenticity of this data will become, effectively silencing other city leaders, even autonomous region leaders. ”

This was clear now. Other city and autonomous region leaders who were either satisfied, dubious or envious about Li County’s economic growth report would require a harsh inspection and approval.

Having understood this, Zhang Chubin’s mood brightened, and he immediately followed suit.

Now, the villager whom Lin Haikun had questioned furrowed his brows and said discontentedly, “You, comrade, why can’t you speak properly? Is this even arranged?”

Nie Zhenbang looked closer, recognizing most among those who were playing the drums had come from Gemu Township. It can be said that among all the locals in Li County, the ones who trust and are most grateful to the government are these people from Gemu Township.

The government provided them with brand new brick houses and allocated them land for personal use, solving their food concerns. Training opportunities had also been provided in the development zone, with factory jobs for residents and cleaning jobs for the elderly. Every family was living prosperously, with appliances like bicycles, sewing machines, and televisions having made their way into each household, something the people of Gemu Township had never imagined happening.

At this moment, wouldn ‘t Lin Haikun’s question spark resentment? Lin Haikun, now somewhat embarrassed, asked with a smile, “So, you mean to say that you all came here voluntarily?”

The villagers once again nodded affirmatively, looking around at the fellow villagers. He loudly said, “Ask any of us here, none of us aren ‘t here voluntarily. When we heard that top leaders from the city and province would be here to inspect us, we were already planning this. We wanted to give the leaders a moving scene. ”

Next, Lin Haikun ‘s inspection seemed quite casual, and Nie Zhenbang and Zhang Chubin did not arrange any more, Nie Zhenbang was filled with confidence about Lixian’s affairs. Nothing was off-limits, and there was nothing to hide.

At the Li County Dafuhao Leather Factory. Lin Haikun and his group walked into the leather factory, where Zhu Lufeng, who had already received news, had rushed over from The Millionaire Hotel.

In the leather factory’s production workshop, hundreds of workers were busy in the spacious and bright factory. Music was even being played over the workshop’s PA system. This innovation made Lin Haikun curious. He promptly asked, “Playing pop music during work hours, won’t this impact production? Can quality be guaranteed? Are your products mainly for domestic or foreign markets?”

Nie Zhenbang came over and smiled, “Chairman Lin, our government’s principle is that it is up to enterprises themselves to handle their operations beyond providing support in terms of policy and industry. How an enterprise arranges things is their own business. I’ve called over Boss Zhu of the leather factory. Boss Zhu is a well-known private entrepreneur in Bazhou. He has luxury hotels in Bazhou City and Lixian. In Nanhai City in Yuedong, he also has a construction company. This leather factory is one of Boss Zhu’s enterprises. ”

Zhu Lufeng came over and immediately smiled, “Chairman Lin, hello. We learned to play music during work from the Taiwanese. In the midst of tedious work, playing music can relieve tense work emotions. It not only does not affect production, but it can also relieve pressure. After our factory implemented this method, production efficiency not only did not decrease, but it has improved a lot. Now, many factories in the development zone have learned this method from us.”

Zhu Lufeng paused, then continued, “Our products are mainly for the domestic market. Currently, our factory is also preparing to hire a professional design team at a high salary. To customize products for our factory. We want to go high-end, striving to enter the international market and create our own leather goods brand within three to five years. ”

Lin Haikun laughed and said, “Boss Zhu, so what is the wage level of your workers?”

As soon this question was out, not only did the ears of the investigation team personnel in charge of the audit perk up. On the side, many observers from Dizhou City also pricked up their ears. The factory was a minor matter, income, that’s a big deal. That is the important data that measures the economic level of Lixan.

Zhu Lufeng is a smart man, and at this moment, seeing the different vibe, he immediately laughed, “Chairman Lin, forgive me for being coy. For this question, I think, the leaders can freely ask our workers. Their words carry more persuasive power than mine. ”

Having said that, Zhu Lufeng instructed the managers next to him, “Broadcast that we will have a temporary rest today. ”

It was like a recess for students studying, as soon as they heard the word rest, many people stopped their work, stood up from their seats, some stretched, and some went to the bathroom.

The investigation team then entered the workshop, which was very clean, wellorganized, and orderly. It was clear that there were strict rules and regulations in place for management.

Lin Haikun randomly selected a few workers and smilingly asked, “Young comrades, can I ask how much money each of you can make in a month?”

Next to him, a young girl, probably around twenty years old, had some freckles on her face. She had her hair in a braid and seemed a bit shy. She lowered her head and said, “I just started not long ago. The basic wage is four hundred yuan per month, plus commission. After a month of work, it’s about five hundred or so. The team leader’s salary is much higher than mine, she can make eight to nine hundred a month. ”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Would there be such high wages in the Northwest Region? Currently, even a village chief in the Northwest, even with border work allowances, only makes around four hundred a month at most, pushing it. Yet, a worker here similar to a group leader, surprisingly can make eight to nine hundred.

The team leader on the side also laughed, seemingly not very satisfied, said, “Boss Zhu said it himself. Many labors get more, and we are paid according to work contribution. We don ‘t treat different regions differently. Doing business is about having a conscience. This wage level is based on the advanced coastal areas in the east. Now, it’s the same price in other enterprises in our development zone. Otherwise, we couldn ‘t recruit workers. ”

Nie Zhenbang himself was not very clear about this. He had not expected that Zhu Lufeng, who was bent on repaying his hometown, had actually driven up the wage level in Lixian.

On the side, Lin Haikun also laughed at this moment, “This trip has really opened my eyes. Originally, I thought that the economic development of Lixian was just a bluff, but now it seems to be quite pragmatic. It’s almost noon, let’s not trouble Lixian’s enterprises anymore. Let’s all go to the county committee first. ”
