356 Faith


    Chu Ning saw a pile of gifts and a basket of fruits in the corner of the office. These were the things that Wen An had prepared for his visit to Zhang Bo.


    “Er, it’s actually alright. You don’t have to go and visit, or you can get someone else to send it over. We’ve received your blessings, thank you,” Chu Ning said sincerely.


    “It’s better not to send it to him rather than to get someone else to send it over. Vice President Zhang is a serious person, and I don’t want him to misunderstand me,” Wen An said cautiously.


    “Zhang Bo won’t. He’s very easy to talk to.” Chu Ning let out a crispugh. She felt that Wen An was rather cute.


    !!


    However, Chu Ning was still very happy to see others respect her subordinates.


    “Oh right, Vige Chief Wen, can I ask you a more personal question?” Chu Ning continued.


    “Go ahead, President Chu. I’ll probably answer all of your questions.” Wen An adjusted his sses again. He didn’t know what Chu Ning meant by that.


    “What’s your monthly ie?” Chu Ning said calmly.


    The smile on Wen An’s face froze when he heard Chu Ning’s words, bing slightly unnatural.


    After a moment of silence, Wen An let out a bitterugh.


    “A businessperson like yourself may not understand this, but grassroots staff actually have a very low ie. What’s more, I don’t have time to do part-time jobs. The money I get is just enough to meet my daily needs,” Wen An said helplessly.


    “Last month’s sry plus subsidies came to a total of 3,256 yuan. Last year’s annual ie was about 40,000 yuan,” Wen An added softly.


    As the chief of Qinghe vige, his current ie was not even as high as some of the residents of Qinghe vige…


    Chu Ning understood that if a person like Wen An were to change his way of living, such as working in apany, with his capabilities, his ie and standard of living would be much higher than it was currently.


    “You are a man of faith. I think we can have a talk. For example, you can help me manage Qinghe Vige’s production problems. This is your job anyway. And I’ll give you a higher sry, will that be alright?” Chu Ning said with a smile.


    Such a statement was actually indirectly trying to increase Wen An’s ie. However, it seemed reasonable and justified, which was different from bribing him directly.


    The supplements and fruits that Wen An had bought for Zhang Bo had cost him nearly 1,000 yuan, while his monthly ie was only about 3,000 yuan… Chu Ning was a meticulous person. She had walked around Qinghe Vige once and, ording to the information she had gathered, in Qinghe Vige, there were some lonely elderly and children who had been left behind by their working parents. Each time there were festivals and major events, Wen An would buy some food and clothing and pay them a visit.


    These expenses were saved from his own meager ie. The government did not allocate much money to Qinghe Vige.


    “No need, I’m fine right now.” Wen An shook his head.


    Chu Ning didn’t know why, but after hearing Wen An’s answer, she was a little disappointed, but she also agreed with him.


    “If it was for the money, I wouldn’t be the vige chief here. I just want to see Qinghe Vige develop in my hands. It would be best if I could bring about the development of the surrounding viges and make them prosper together. To be honest, there is a huge gap between people. The rich people in M City’s city center spend tens of thousands of yuan for a dinner, or even more. But this money can guarantee the basic food and clothing of several left-behind children for a year. Their parents may not want to leave them to work in a far-off ce.”


    Wen An’s expression was a littleplicated as he spoke. He paused for a moment before he continued, “I want to build Qinghe Vige well and lure back those who work in other ces. This will solve many problems and also y a leading role. As long as the vige can find the right roads, it can also be developed.”


    Wen An’s voice was not loud, yet his tone was firm.


    “Alright, Vige Chief Wen, I will respect your wishes,” Chu Ning said seriously.


    Although there were s***bags like Buddy in Qinghe Vige, fortunately, Wen An was a man with strong beliefs. He was willing to sacrifice his own interests to safeguard the lives of the thousands of people in Qinghe Vige.


    In the next few hours, Chu Ning and Wen An discussed in detail the subsequent industrial upgrade andyout n of Qinghe Vige. Other than the problems of the cultivation base, they also discussed a series of supporting facilities. Without a doubt, this would be another shocking expense.


    After leaving Qinghe Vige, it was almost 6 o’clock in the evening. Chu Ning did not return to Jinghu District but went to the Chu residence.


    “Chu Ning, I didn’t expect you to be able to convince that Lu Chao.” When Chu Ning returned, Chu Jing promptly walked out of his room and looked at Chu Ning in disbelief.
