Chapter 1983 The Uncomfortable God of Wealth

"Why don't you just ask the secretary directly what he thinks?" Zhang Yuguang asked with a smile.

"Public is public, private is private. I don't want to mix the two, and he doesn't like it either."

Zhang Yugang nodded and continued, "The report you wrote about building a number of iconic internet celebrity projects to welcome the Tourism Development Conference has been approved by the Propaganda Department. Minister Peng signed it personally and submitted it to the Secretary."

"What's his opinion?" Xie Simin asked again.

"The secretary called our God of Wealth to his office after get off work. What do you think he thinks?" Zhang Yuguang said with a smile.

Xie Simin thought for a moment, then reacted and asked, "Secretary, do you think the cost is too high?"

"I read the report and submitted it to the secretary after reading it. I don't know what the secretary's specific opinions are, but in my opinion, your ideas are very good. After all, you are young, open-minded, innovative, and keep up with the trend of the times."

"If we follow your advice and build a number of attractive and iconic internet celebrity check-in spots, it will attract more young people to travel and check in, and it will also further create hot spots on the Internet, which will greatly promote the development of our Yi'an County's tourism industry."

"The best thing is that your idea is very novel. It has not been used anywhere else. We are the first to do so, so as long as it is well constructed, the effect will definitely be very good."

"But you also have to consider the actual situation in Yi'an County. Although Yi'an County is booming right now, the funds for these projects are either brought by the secretary from the province or the city, or borrowed."

"The reality is that our finances are already heavily in debt and have long been outstripping our income. Our finances are now very tight and many projects still owe money."

"Although your idea is good, it's not likely that the secretary will agree to spend 50 million yuan to build a group of Internet celebrity check-in spots."

"Even if the secretary agrees, County Mayor Changsheng will strongly oppose this matter. Did you notice that the secretary did not discuss this matter with County Mayor Changsheng first, but called Gu Gang over first? You will understand the secretary's intention." Zhang Yuguang analyzed bit by bit.

Upon hearing this, Xie Simin became completely depressed. This report was written with great effort, and it contained all her hard work. For the development of Yian's tourism industry and this tourism development conference, Xie Simin had used all her strength.

Now she felt very sad to hear that the idea she had worked so hard for could not be implemented in the end.

"Of course, this is just my guess." Zhang Yuguang said after looking at Xie Simin.

Xie Simin nodded and forced a smile at Zhang Yuguang, but she couldn't feel happy in her heart.

"Let's talk about something happy. You've become a real internet celebrity now. You used to be just a local internet celebrity in Xiquan, but now with the broadcast of this program, you've really become a national internet celebrity. I heard that your personal account gained more than one million followers in three days after the broadcast of the program, and the new media account of Yi'an, which you are responsible for, also gained hundreds of thousands of followers."

"But I heard that netizens now affectionately call you the 'most beautiful village director', and your search results are all in the top three." Zhang Yuguang asked with a smile.

"Personally, this is not a good thing. It has caused me a lot of trouble. Now I have to wear a hat and a mask when I walk on the street, otherwise I will attract onlookers. I don't like the feeling of being watched and photographed by people. There is no personal privacy at all."

"But personally, I am very happy. The more followers our new media accounts gain, the greater the influence of our publicity will be, and we will be able to bring more products to the people. And the more followers my personal media accounts have, the more convenient it will be for me to promote our Yian County." Xie Simin said sincerely.

"It's good that you think so..."

Zhang Yugang was sitting in the office chatting with Xie Simin.

As they chatted, Zhang Yugang suddenly asked Xie Simin: "Xiao Xie, are you familiar with Hong Jun?"

"Hong Jun? Who is he? This is the first time I've heard of him." Xie Simin was confused.

Zhang Yugang had been watching Xie Simin's expression. Seeing Xie Simin's puzzled look, Zhang Yugang felt a little disappointed.

The main reason why Zhang Yugang called Xie Simin into his office to chat about a lot of random things was actually to ask Xie Simin whether she knew what the relationship between Hong Jun and Qin Feng was.

Zhang Yuguang thought that given the personal relationship between Xie Simin and Qin Feng, Xie Simin would definitely be able to clearly understand the relationship between Hong Jun and Qin Feng.

It is very important for Zhang Yugang to figure out the relationship between Hong Jun and Qin Feng.

Qin Feng never told Zhang Yugang who Hong Jun was to him. Qin Feng didn't tell him, and Zhang Yugang didn't dare to ask.

"It's okay. I was just asking casually. Since you don't know, just pretend I didn't ask." Zhang Yuguang smiled and didn't ask any further questions.

At this time, the door of Qin Feng's office opened and Gu Gang walked out.

"God of Wealth, would you like a cup of tea?" Zhang Yuguang called out to Gu Gang with a smile.

Gu Gang took a look and then walked into Zhang Yuguang's office.

"Director Zhang, do you think I'm still in the mood to sit here and drink tea? Look, my hair is almost falling out." Gu Gang walked in.

"How about it? Can the finance department squeeze out this money?" Zhang Yuguang asked.

"Crowded? I haven't been to the office for five days. It's not that I don't want to go, but I don't dare to go. There is a long line of people waiting to pay in front of my office every day. I feel like I'm hiding from my creditors."

"I don't know who in the Propaganda Department has a problem with their brains. They actually came up with such a report and spent 50 million to build these crappy internet celebrity check-in spots. Do they really think that Yi'an is as wealthy as Beijing and Shanghai?"

"Let alone 50 million, I'd have to rack my brains to squeeze out 5,000 yuan. In order to develop the tourism industry and hold this tourism development conference, the government has not only squeezed out all the money it can, but also incurred a lot of debt..."

Zhang Yuguang became furious when he talked about this matter. As the director of the Finance Bureau, this really made him angry.

During the previous government, the county party secretary and county governor spent money recklessly, which made him very annoyed because there was no money in the treasury.

When it was Qin Feng's turn to take office, he used his personal ability to ask for a lot of money from the higher-ups, which made Gu Gang very happy. He thought that his good days had finally come. However, he didn't expect that Qin Feng's ability to ask for money was indeed strong, but his ability to spend money was unmatched.

Since Qin Feng came to power, the entire Yian County has spent tens of billions of dollars. You have to know that this is a county town, and these tens of billions of dollars are spent in addition to various normal expenses. This is an astronomical figure, and a large part of this money was borrowed.

The county seems to be very rich financially, and everyone in the county thinks so, but in fact the financial difficulties are even worse than before, so the person who suffers the most is Gu Gang, the Director of Finance.
