Liu Meilan went to the company and brought hot and sour noodles to Tang Xiaoyu and Xiaohan.

Xiao Han can tolerate acidity, but she can't tolerate spicy food. Her mouth swells up when she eats spicy food.

But pregnant Tang Xiaoyu found it particularly delicious and ate and drank the whole bowl, including the soup and vermicelli.

Tang Xiaoyu wiped his mouth and rinsed it out, still feeling unsatisfied: "Anything else? Ask Liu Yibang to send me some more."

Liu Meilan raised her eyebrows and pointed at her belly: "Pretty girl, you are pregnant. This is fast food. They will add additives to extend the shelf life. It is better to eat less."

Tang Xiaoyu said with a hint of regret: "Then I'll eat it after I give birth. There must be a market for this thing. When will it go into production?"

Liu Meilan replied: "People from the investment company will participate in the investment as Hong Kong businessmen. From equipment purchase and installation to production, it is estimated that it will be completed in September this year."

Tang Xiaoyu calculated: "Okay, by then my breastfeeding period will be over. Let your third brother go for it, it will definitely work!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "This is instant food. It can be stored for a long time, similar to instant noodles. However, our ingredients are genuine, so the price may be a little higher than instant noodles."

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "But it tastes better!"

Wang De, an investor in the hot and sour noodle project, is originally from Guangdong Province but moved to Hong Kong Island over a decade ago. He is familiar with company operations, understands mainland investment, and is known for his smooth dealings.

Although the partner is Liu Meilan's third brother, as the person in charge, Wang De regards business as business. He not only protects the interests of the company and enjoys local preferential policies, but also promises to invest 30 million yuan in the first phase of the project, which will create jobs for 500 people and will expand the scale in the future.

Originally, this was a Shiyang Town project, but the county felt the town couldn't handle it, so it decided to manage it itself. However, the city, recognizing the project's potential, decided neither Shiyang Town nor the county could manage it, so it simply changed Shiyang Town into the Shiyang High-tech Zone.

Secretary Zhou and Mayor Wang were promoted on the spot, from town secretary and town mayor to district secretary and district mayor respectively.

There were many vacancies in the high-tech zone, and everyone knew Liu Yibang was highly capable. Given his current abilities and the speed with which he was boosting the local economy, he had a bright future.

Many well-informed people have used their connections to come here to work and assist Liu Yibang in attracting investment. After all, this job is the easiest to achieve political achievements.

Liu Yibang also received a promotion. After the town was reorganized into a district, he became deputy district chief. Although his position was brief, the organization took it very seriously, preparing to explain the situation to higher authorities and submit a report on Liu Yibang's work in Shiyang Town to the provincial government.

Liu Yibang was the one who was promoted the fastest among that batch of selected candidates.

Shiyang High-tech Zone has a good reputation. Factories are built within the radiation range of the railway station. There is also a national highway passing nearby, so transportation is quite convenient.

There are currently three companies in the high-tech zone: the first established vermicelli factory, which produces high-end vermicelli without additives and sells it nationwide. Last year, its output value reached 9 million yuan, driving the vigorous development of upstream and downstream industries;

The second one is a sanitary napkin factory, which produces high-end sanitary napkins for both export and domestic sales, all of which are produced in a sterile workshop.

This factory is even more impressive. Just four months into production, it has already earned US$6 million in foreign exchange, with domestic sales also exceeding several million. This year, they've developed several new products and are preparing to participate in the Guangzhou Trade Fair to secure more foreign trade orders.

According to estimates by local leaders and factory managers, the company will be able to earn at least 30 million US dollars in foreign exchange this year, making it a major foreign exchange earner in the city and an enterprise that the province focuses on.

This is also the key reason why the city leaders overcame all objections and separated Shiyang Town from the county and changed it into a district.

The third is a feed factory, which relies on waste residues and waste materials from vermicelli factories, and adds bone meal, shell meat and shells to make feed, which can drive the development of the breeding industry.

Now, a new hot and sour noodle company has invested 30 million yuan. Everyone has tried their product and it's delicious. While I'm not sure about the future of hot and sour noodles, looking at the sales of instant noodles, I think there's a lot of potential in this industry.

Wang De proposed that the local government also participate in the investment. The government does not have management rights, but has supervisory rights and dividend rights, and will receive dividends every year in the future.

The city leaders thought this was a new model of cooperation, so they tightened their belts and came up with the money.

The factory construction progress is advancing by leaps and bounds. After all, it is a key project, and the city pays special attention to it.

The county was very unhappy at first, but it had no choice but to agree, but it put forward a condition: priority would be given to recruiting from the county.

Factories are also willing to recruit workers from the county. Firstly, it is more convenient because they are close by. Secondly, they cannot provide accommodation in the early stages, and county employees can go to and from get off work by bicycle.

In this round of game, Liu Yibang watched the fight from the sidelines, and he not only saw the cruelty of political struggles, but also truly experienced the compromise after the struggles.

However, everyone agrees: the most important thing is to allow these foreign companies to develop and boost the local economy. If you deviate from this principle, no matter how capable you are, you will never be able to rise to the top.

Liu Yibang couldn't say these things in front of outsiders, so he told Mi Xiaonan about them after he came back, which helped Mi Xiaonan gain a better understanding of politics.

Mi Xiaonan sighed: "Fortunately, you have some background. Even if someone wants to take the credit, they dare not touch the biggest and best piece."

Liu Yibang smiled. "Yeah! Right now, the focus is on economic development. If we don't manage the economy well, it'll be hard to get promoted. But it's also good this way. At least everyone has the same goal."

At this moment, Liu Yibang also understood the intention of arranging the central selected candidates to start from the grassroots level. Only by becoming familiar with grassroots management can a solid foundation be laid.

Time passed quickly, and every village under the Shiyang High-tech Zone started engaging in seafood and pearl farming.

The county requires that candidates must have graduated from junior high school to recruit, regardless of gender. Everything is moving in a good direction.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the Guangdong Trade Fair.

This is Mi Xiaonan's hometown. It happened to be the May Day holiday here, plus the weekend, she also adjusted classes with other teachers, making up a week-long vacation.

Liu Yibang, who is both a leader and a native of Guangdong Province, represented the foreign trade team of Shushuang care products to attend the exhibition.

The superiors have explained that someone will be keeping an eye on matters at home, and Liu Yibang’s main task is to win more foreign trade orders.

The early stage staff had already set off by train with the materials, while Liu Yibang and Mi Xiaonan flew back at their own expense.

This time, Liu Yibang first sent Mi Xiaonan home, had dinner at Mi's house, stayed overnight, and returned to his own home the next day. His suitcase was packed with two large bags of things.

Professor Xie was curious: "What's in it?"

Liu Yibang replied, "These are newly launched children's diapers. They are of very high quality and fully meet the standards for export to Europe and the United States. How about this gift?"

Professor Xie opened the package, tore off a piece, looked at it, and then put it close to his nose to smell it. "It looks good. I'll try it on my four children later."

Liu Yibang said proudly: "From now on, I will take care of all the diapers for my children!"
