In the county head's office, Lin Xiao waited all morning in her original workspace. It was only when the clock neared the end of the workday that Qian County Head arrived from outside.
"Qian County Head, I'm here to report on my work," Lin Xiao said as she followed Qian Zengmin into the office.
Qian Zengmin had just taken a water cup out of his bag and placed it on the desk. Lin Xiao noticed that there was only half a cup of water. She took it, refilled it at the tea station, and gently set it back down.
"Lin Town Head, you truly are meticulous, just as someone who has worked as a secretary should be," Qian Zengmin said as he sat down and took a sip of water. "Now, tell me, how much do you need?"
In his mind, he was well aware that whenever someone sought him out, it usually involved money.
"County Head, I really am here to report on my work," Lin Xiao reiterated.
"No money?" Qian Zengmin laughed. "No money is good."
Lin Xiao did not respond to that; of course, money was needed. The usual tactic of feigning poverty wouldn’t work this time since she required a substantial amount. Instead, she proceeded to share her ideas regarding her work.
In the Gengxu Town area, several nearby townships had gradually developed tourism projects centered around Cui Ping Mountain. With the increase in visitors came numerous problems: the local government's capacity to receive guests was insufficient, service levels were lacking, complaints were rampant, and online reviews were poor. Tourists also reported issues such as overcharging and unsanitary dining conditions.
Qian Zengmin was not unaware of these issues; he had put effort into addressing them before, but unfortunately, the results had been minimal.
Lin Xiao proposed establishing a dedicated Management Committee for tourism in the region, similar to those at West Lake and Huang Shan, to integrate tourism resources centered around Cui Ping Mountain. This would involve reasonable planning of travel routes and creating a tourism brand.
After some thought, Qian Zengmin considered that the two-story clubhouse next to the Cui Ping Grand Hotel had been vacant for too long and could be rented for use as an office space. The other aspects involved soft cultural development—these were small investments but feasible.
"I personally find this credible; I will discuss it further with Jiang. When it comes to personnel organization, the county head cannot make decisions alone," he concluded.
"County Head, this is the specific content I just reported to you. Here is the investigation report and here is the feasibility report," Lin Xiao handed over detailed documents to Qian County Head.
The reason she presented them now was that if Qian County Head did not approve her ideas, they would be worthless paper. Now it seemed clear that he agreed with her perspective.
Regarding the Cui Ping Mountain Scenic Area, Lin Xiao continued, "County Head, I have some additional thoughts on promoting major tourist attractions. We need to tackle this from both sides; we have preliminarily analyzed that during the upcoming Duanwu holiday, we will see a small peak in visitors. We must seize this opportunity."
This was probably the most uplifting news Qian Zengmin had heard all day.
"Lin Xiao, you’re impressive! You’ve quickly adapted to your role and come up with so many ideas in less than half a month."
If they could achieve their expected results, tax revenues from Gengxu Town would increase. Lin Xiao continued to paint a bright picture for Qian Zengmin’s future plans.
Previously, the small hills on both sides of Cui Ping Mountain were planted with many Shan He Tao, which were directly exported. I think we can establish a Cooperative to carry out fine craftsmanship. Nowadays, young people in the province love to eat nuts.
Qian Zengmin felt a surge of confidence; this seemed like a way out. After all, tourism has its seasonal limitations, while developing industries to enrich the people is far more meaningful.
"Go ahead, I will fully support you," he said.
With the county chief's support, Lin Xiao was determined to roll up his sleeves and get to work. "Then could you allocate some funds to support this?"
Qian Zengmin was taken aback. "Didn’t you say you didn’t need any money?"
"County chief, I only mentioned reporting my work to you; I never said I didn’t need any funds," Lin Xiao quickly explained.
Upon reflection, Qian Zengmin realized she hadn’t actually said she didn’t want money. Although it pained him, he decided to allocate ten thousand to Luo Qianwei for Gengxu Town. For other townships, he planned to allocate around seven or eight hundred thousand.
"County chief, ten thousand isn’t enough; I need a hundred thousand," Lin Xiao insisted, holding up three fingers.
"Xiao Lin, are you trying to cut into my flesh with a knife? No way," Qian Zengmin refused without a second thought.
"County chief, our Gengxu Town is different from other townships. We owe too much in labor payments. If we want to develop a cohesive tourism plan, we definitely need more work done. Just consider it as fishing with a long line for bigger catches."
"It's time for dinner; let’s eat first," Qian Zengmin said, trying to change the subject.
