It was about seven o'clock in the evening, and Zhu Heng came to pick up Chen Ping for a reception banquet. However, this was said to be here to pick him up, but in fact he just picked up Chen Ping from the accommodation area upstairs of the hotel to the private room in the restaurant downstairs. After all, Chen Ping lives in the largest and best hotel in Luzhou County.

When they arrived at the private room, there were already five people waiting here. When they saw Chen Ping coming in, they hurriedly stood up and greeted him. Zhu Heng also introduced at this time: "Mayor Chen, these are the managers of other road-curricular enterprises."

When Zhu Heng finished introducing, one of the managers Meng said to Chen Ping: "Mayor Chen, it's great that you can come to Luzhou. For those of us who are doing business in other places, Mayor Chen, you are like our savior. Although we have encountered some trouble here, your arrival is equivalent to bringing us hope!"

As the saying goes, people respect me and I respect others. Facing the compliment of Manager Meng, Chen Ping waved his hand modestly and said, "Manager Meng, you are too polite. I just did what a people's cadre should do."

"This also shows that Mayor Chen, you are a responsible leader!"

Manager Meng said this and asked Chen Ping to sit down with Zhu Heng. According to the rules at the dinner table, Chen Ping undoubtedly sat in the seat. After everyone sat down, Zhu Heng said: "Today, Mayor Chen came to Luzhou for us Luzhuang merchants. This is a kind of selfless revolutionary spirit and an embodiment of Mayor Chen's noble personality. We have no way to repay Mayor Chen, so I took advantage of this welcome banquet and boldly made a decision. I suggest that all our Luzhuang merchants respect Mayor Chen for their concern for us. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhu Heng's proposal was obviously unanimously agreed by everyone. Then everyone raised their glasses to Chen Ping, and Chen Ping also raised his glasses to everyone, and then took a sip with them.

After drinking the first sip of wine, Chen Ping said, "Does Manager Zhu want to fire sugar-coated shells at me? If this were thirty years ago, you would have been dragged out to parade and criticize me!"

"I'm telling the truth! If I'm going to be criticized and fought to the truth, then I'm willing," said Zhu Heng.

Faced with Zhu Heng's complimentary spirit, Chen Ping could only shake his head helplessly, and then he said, "Okay, I won't say much about the extra polite words. I also know that you are all businessmen, and the ones you care about most are all corporate companies you have created. So we won't beat around the bush and just make a clear decision."

"I know your company is in some trouble here. Manager Zhu has already told me about the general situation," Chen Ping said, pointing to Zhu Heng for a moment, and then continued, "I have contacted the Luzhou County Government for this, and explained to their deputy county magistrate the situation you are facing now, and also expressed the attitude of our Luzhuang Municipal Government on this issue. The Luzhou County Government promised that they will go back to re-study their investment promotion policies, and they will also find ways to solve the troubles you are facing."

"This is great!" Manager Meng couldn't help but interrupt, "If the Luzhou County Government can really revise the investment promotion policy, then our company will be able to get out of the predicament!"

Manager Meng said this and said with some concern: "But Mayor Chen, we are all willing to believe you. However, since we have done a lot of work before, we all know that the government here is very poor in its work efficiency, which is completely incomparable to Luzhuang under your leadership. So I am a little worried that although the government here promises Mayor Chen, it will take a long time to wait until the research is completed and put into implementation."

This made Chen Ping smile in his heart. How could he not understand that Manager Meng's words were quite tactful? To be more blunt, it was that the Luzhou County Government was just perfunctory Chen Ping and would not do it at all.

"Actually, this is why I came to Luzhou." Chen Ping said.

"From Manager Zhu, I know that there are certain obstacles in communication with the Luzhou County Government. As a party member and cadre of the Luzhuang Municipal Government, I will definitely be more beneficial to the communication than you. But I don't know much about the problems you have. After all, some things cannot be seen from the report and must be conducted through field inspections. That's why I came to Luzhou to have an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the problems faced by our Luzhuang enterprises, and then I can communicate with the Luzhou County Government."

Chen Ping paused at this point, and then continued, "So with this welcoming banquet today, I will inform everyone first. In the next few days, I will go to our company for on-site inspections, and I hope everyone can cooperate."

"Looking at what Mayor Chen said, we are so ashamed," said Manager Meng. "Mayor Chen, you come here to help us solve the problem. If any of us doesn't even cooperate with Mayor Chen's inspection work, then his company will go bankrupt because of this, and he deserves it!"

Manager Meng's words were unanimously agreed by everyone else. At this time, Zhu Heng said: "Mayor Chen, don't worry. As the president of Luzhou Luzhuang Chamber of Commerce, I can guarantee Mayor Chen on behalf of all Luzhuang enterprises in Luzhou that we will not only cooperate with Mayor Chen for all your work, but if Mayor Chen has any needs, we will also find a way to satisfy it!"

"Manager Zhu, you're having trouble again," said Chen Ping. "Didn't I tell you last time? I'm helping you with the obligation and responsibility of being the deputy mayor of Luzhuang. If you have to meet any needs, wouldn't this responsibility change? If this is the case, I can't help you."

Zhu Heng then remembered the last time Chen Ping refused to accept his bank card, so he hurriedly slapped his head and said, "Mayor Chen, look at my brain, I forgot it immediately. Mayor Chen, please forgive me."

Since Zhu Heng told other business owners who attended the welcoming banquet before the dinner that Chen Ping would not accept bribes, they could understand what Chen Ping and Zhu Heng said now.

In fact, before this, they all doubted Chen Ping's motives. After all, who is an official these days, isn't the one who is dedicated to making money?

However, after hearing the conversation between Chen Ping and Zhu Heng, they believed that Chen Ping was really here to fulfill his duties as deputy mayor. Even if he was not really selfless, at least he had already made such a statement in front of them, and he would definitely not do anything to ask for bribes or take advantage of them in private.

Thinking of this, Manager Meng raised his glass with emotion and said to Chen Ping: "Mayor Chen, when I was a child, I often heard the stories of the people's cadres Jiao Yulu and Kong Fansen. I never believed that there would be such party members and cadres who serve the people wholeheartedly, and that they would not believe that they had such noble personality. But now when I see Mayor Chen, I completely believe it!"

"Manager Meng is too proud. We still cannot surpass the older generation of revolutionary cadres like Jiao Yulu and Kong Fansen."

Chen Ping said: "I know there are some bad atmospheres in the organs now, but I am working hard to correct these things. At least for me personally, I am still willing to listen to you willingly call me a people's cadre."

Zhu Heng took the lead in raising his glass and said to Chen Ping: "For the sake of Mayor Chen's noble character, I suggest that we all respect Mayor Chen with another cup!"
