He Molian pushed the door open and came in, still a bit out of breath. She looked around and saw that He Qing she and Guo Quan were also in Shen Huai's office. Smoothing her hair, she said: "Mayor He and Director Guo are here too..."

  Mei Creek Town is adjacent to Tangzhai District, and He Yuelian is not only famous in Mei Creek Town but also in Tangzhai District. Although He Yuelian is 39 years old by virtual age and 38 years old by zodiac age, she is still on the edge of a beauty's decline. In a big town like Mei Creek with a population of over 50,000, there are not many women as young and beautiful as Chen Dan, but it must be admitted that He Yuelian's charm and allure are something that many beautiful women cannot learn.

  Some women are born with a charming and alluring aura, their smiles and frowns exuding an irresistible charm.

  Shen Huai was worried that He Qing She and Guo Quan would not easily take this woman to bed, otherwise his work in Mei Creek Town would be affected.

  "The Supply and Marketing Association's matter, He Zhenchang just mentioned it to me. Since he also has time, let's hear what you have to say together." Shen Hua pointed to the chairs in the corner of the wall, wanting He Yuelian to pull one over to sit down, while Guo Quan had just flipped out the materials for the Supply and Marketing Association and handed them over to him.

  Shen Huai flipped through the materials of the supply and marketing cooperative on his knee.

  Mei Creek as the central town, business can't be compared with the city, but it should be better than the surrounding towns. For a long time, the town supply and marketing association has been the center of Mei Creek's commerce.

  However, as the channels for commodity circulation were gradually opened up, the dual-track price system in the market gradually disappeared. Peripheral counties and cities have built some wholesale markets one after another, and the old pattern of "commodity companies-supply and marketing cooperatives" has become increasingly outdated.

  By 1991, the town's supply and marketing cooperative had accumulated a debt of 3 million yuan to the credit union; its operations were in trouble, and it couldn't even pay wages. At that time, the town decided to reform the supply and marketing cooperative through contracting.

  The initial contracting scheme was based on the counter as a unit, and internal employees were contracted. The town's 30 million credit union loan was tied to the supply and marketing cooperative's inventory, which was taken over by the contractors of each counter.

  Shen Huai flipped through the list of contractors and was surprised to see He Yuelian's name on it, partnering with He Wei to take over the clothing counter at the supply and marketing society. Shen Huai slid the list of materials towards his knee and pointed to He Yuelian's name, looking inquiringly at He Qingshe.

  He Qing nodded and confirmed that He Yuelian was one of the contractors.

  The initial contracting scheme was supposed to be mainly internal staff contracting, but some profitable counters, such as tobacco and liquor, clothing, were still squeezed in by some related households.

  Shen Huai glanced at He Yuelian, not expecting her hand to be quite long. No wonder after losing the reception station, she thought of taking over the entire supply and marketing association.

  The initial plan was implemented and the supply and marketing cooperative has been contracted out for almost two years now.

  The town reduced the contract fee for two years, but reduced the loan owed by the supply and marketing association to around 10 million - the situation did not continue to deteriorate, and even if the town did not receive any contract fees, it got rid of the bad accounts of the supply and marketing association in previous years, which also shows that this plan has achieved some success.

  However, the existing problems are also very serious.

  The counter was subcontracted out, and the sales channel was also responsible by the contractor. Counterfeit and inferior goods began to appear on the supply and marketing cooperative's counter, causing public complaints while damaging the reputation of the supply and marketing cooperative, and business gradually declined.

  In recent years, clothing stores, hardware stores, tobacco and wine shops, food stores, and grocery stores have emerged one after another in the town.

  These shops operated more flexibly and for longer hours, starting to encroach on a large scale the business of supply and marketing cooperatives.

  The business of supply and marketing cooperatives can be said to have just improved a bit, but then fell into the quagmire of decline again.

  Another issue is that different counters have different types of goods, with varying profitability. At the beginning of the contract reform, these factors were not fully considered, leading to increasing contradictions among contractors, and some even proposed to withdraw from the town.

  There are various problems with the supply and marketing association, but the two-story supply and marketing association rebuilt in the mid-1980s has a business area of over 1,000 square meters. It is located at the intersection of Xiaomei Highway and Xuetang Street, and the vegetable market is also diagonally opposite to the supply and marketing association. Currently, it is the best commercial location in Meixi Town.

  Meixi Town has been struggling with a tight fiscal budget in recent years, but since Meixi Town is adjacent to the Donghua City area, many people work or do business there, or run small processing and supply businesses for the city, so individual economies and per capita income are still steadily increasing.

  From the situation of industrial and commercial tax collection, Meixi Town's business scale has maintained an increase of more than 10% every year.

  Shen Huai also hopes to have a capable and powerful person take over the supply and marketing association, manage it well, and make good use of its location and business resource advantages, but He Yuelian is not his ideal candidate.

  Not the best option, but there was no other way, after all, no one else had the idea of transferring the contract. Shen Hua sat there in silence for about three or four minutes, flipping through documents, and then continued to discuss a few issues with He Qing She.

  He Moli pushed open the door and entered, still thinking that she had adjusted her mindset and could easily deal with Shen Huai.

  He Molian didn't expect Shen Huai to let her sit down in front of him, but he could flip through the materials as if she didn't exist, and then discuss the issue with He Qing She. For five or six minutes, his gaze never fell on her, which made even her, who was used to dealing with social interactions with ease, feel inexplicably uneasy...

  Shen Huai exchanged opinions with He Qing before asking He Yuelian: "You proposed to take over the supply and marketing association as a whole, did you bring the materials?"

  "I'm just a housewife, what materials would I write? Just go find Secretary Shen and give him an oral report first; if Secretary Shen thinks it's not suitable, please instruct Mayor He in person..." He Yuelian felt the smile on her face was about to freeze.

  "There are two things: First, the original contractor must provide a certificate of agreement to terminate the contract in advance. Since the counter was subcontracted out, at least 70% of the contractors must agree to terminate the contract in advance before the town will consider mediating the transfer of the contract. Second, you need to bring out your business plan for taking over the contract, and clearly explain how you will protect the interests of the original contractor, what benefits the transfer of the contract will bring to the town, and whether this transfer is feasible," Shen Hua said unequivocally, "So, you have two days to prepare these two things and hand them over to Guo Quan; if there are any problems, communicate with Guo Quan first..."

  Shen Huai finished speaking and raised his hand for Guo Quan to take a look at his watch, hinting that he should lead He Yuelian out first.

  Before He Yuelian came over, she thought of some excuses, but Shen Hua didn't give her a chance to speak at all and directly drove her away. Guo Quan stood up; even if He Yuelian had a lot of anger in her belly, there was no way for her to linger in Shen Hua's office anymore, so she could only follow Guo Quan out first.

  One is that Shen Yue Lian and Du Jian, Du Gui have fallen out and no longer associate with each other; secondly, it's almost impossible for any man to put on a bad face in front of He Yue Lian, such a charming woman.

  Kuo Chuan returned to the outer office and continued to help Shen Huai and He Yuelian explain:

  "Secretary Shen is like this when it comes to efficiency, whoever reports to him, if they can't get to the point within five minutes, he'll directly ask them to go back and supplement their materials. In the past, town meetings would often drag on for half a day without discussing anything substantial. After Secretary Shen arrived, as long as he was present at a meeting, basically no one dared to speak nonsense, or they'd be directly criticized. At the steel plant, the requirements are even stricter, if a meeting goes over 30 minutes, you have to submit an application in advance..."

  He Mo Lian secretly cursed in her heart, but since this was Shen Huai's usual style, she felt a bit better and wasn't as angry.

  He Yulian had previously been in contact with Shen Huai, but it was all superficial and didn't go beyond that.

  Mei Creek Town was the central town before the county belonged to the district was withdrawn.

  He Yuelian had long been familiar with the style of government agencies and the character of those elegant officials. She also recognized that Shen Huai was just a goods relying on his background, being arrogant in the town, and looking down on people. He had set his sights on Chen Dan's beauty, which is why he decided to take the reception station away from her hands.

  He Mo Lian has been circulating in the county government for a long time, but also because he sees more clearly, from the bottom of his heart, he looks down on and hates these elegant party members and cadres even more.

  He Moli initially harbored resentment and contempt for Shen Huai, but she was also pragmatic, knowing that one's arm cannot twist the thigh. She had no intention of being a egg hitting a rock, especially since Shen Huai had the backing of the municipal party secretary. Therefore, during the handover at the town reception station, she adopted a cooperative attitude of "a good man does not take advantage of the situation" and maneuvered around him.

  He Mo Lian had thought about leaving Mei Xi Town to venture out, but she also knew that she was a thirty-eight-year-old woman and couldn't afford to be reckless.

  Last time, County Deputy Secretary and County Mayor Ge Yongqiu came to Meixi Town and was very interested in her. He said that the county's reception office lacked a person who could manage operations, hinting that he wanted to transfer her to the county.

  However, He Yuelian was clear in her mind that even if she followed Ge Yongqiu, three to five years later, she would not be a leftover woman who had been played with and abandoned - He Yuelian felt that she should carefully plan out the second half of her life, rather than impulsively leaving Meixi Town and never coming back.

  Even if she loses the reception station, He Yuelian still has several businesses in Meixi Town:

  The clothing counter of the supply and marketing cooperative; these years have been talking about rebuilding Meixi Bridge, repairing Xiamei Highway, she is on the south side of Meixi Bridge, buying a piece of land, with 16 or 17 mu, which has not been put to use yet.

  Hei Molian has earned tens of thousands of yuan in the past few years at the reception station, and almost all of it has been invested in these two places. It can't be cashed out, and she thinks that even if she wants to leave and start anew, it's impossible.

  To stay in Meixi Town, one must consider facing Shen Huai's problem.

  He Yuelian finally made up her mind to stay in Meixi Town and was able to calm down and think about some issues.

  Although 100,000 yuan was extorted from Du Jian and Du Gui, as long as they stay in Meixi Town, the possibility of continuing to extort money from Du Jian and Du Gui is relatively lower.

  Also, it has to be admitted that after Shen Huai arrived at Meixi Town, within a short period of 70 or 80 days, he indeed brought about profound changes to Meixi Town.

  Not only the dirty and unsanitary environment around Gangchang Road, but also the style of the town's organs was rectified under Shen Hua's invisible pressure during the rectification of the steel plant.

  In the past, He Yuelian arrived at the town government compound in the afternoon around 3 or 4 o'clock and was able to see that about half of the leaders and staff were still persevering with their work, so she felt grateful.

  It's almost closing time today, but almost every office has staff on duty, and the town leaders are all present except for those who have gone out to attend to matters. The police and security teams patrolling the streets are more diligent than usual, and even the street urchins who usually hang around Xuetang Street have toned down their behavior. The streets seem cleaner and more orderly than before.

  He Yuelian still had a bias against Shen Huai, but she couldn't help but admit that Meixi Town had undergone tremendous improvements in many aspects since his arrival.

  He Mo Lian proposed the contract supply and marketing agency, also to test Shen Huai's attitude towards her. She felt that if Shen Huai was not biased against her, she would stay in Mei Xi Town. As long as the environment of Mei Xi Town became better and better, even if she was a woman, she might be able to do something.

  Similarly, He Yuelian was just out of a probing mentality and didn't seriously prepare for the materials.

  Thinking this way, even if she was driven out, He Yuelian would no longer have any grievances in her heart.

  He Molian was just about to get some information from Guo Quan to confirm the town's attitude towards the supply and marketing cooperative, when she saw Chen Dan's ex-husband's cousin Sun Wenlei leading a girl in.
