Enter politics?
Pei Xinyue obviously didn't expect that Qin Mu's proposal would be like this!
But after thinking about it carefully, her face suddenly turned red.
"Brother Qin asked me to enter politics, is it to let me keep up with his footsteps?"
"Only by entering politics can I see him often!"
"Brother Qin is already the county magistrate, he must hope that his partner is also in a government unit!"
...
Thinking of this, Pei Xinyue became even more shy, mainly because Qin Mu's proposal made it easy for her to have wild thoughts.
Qin Mu was also a little puzzled. He just gave Pei Xinyue a suggestion, why did she blush?
Isn't taking the civil service exam a very popular option nowadays?
Guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood!
Stable job!
Nothing bad about it!
"Brother Qin, I'm actually quite stupid. Can I really pass the civil service exam? Moreover, I heard that working in a government department requires you to be worldly-wise and cunning, otherwise, you may be sold out at any time!" Pei Xinyue said seriously. Worldly-wise? cunning? Qin Mu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said, "What you said is actually a bit exaggerated. Of course, there must be more rules in government departments, which are not so humane, but you just need to remember a few points, complete the tasks assigned by the leaders, don't take bribes, don't embezzle, do your own things well, and don't be so cunning!" Really? Pei Xinyue didn't believe Qin Mu's words! Her classmates who passed the civil service exam basically said that they were too tired, dealing with leaders and various inspections every day, and playing tricks with colleagues. "I will seriously consider your suggestion."
Pei Xinyue did not deny or agree, but wanted to think about it again. Taking the civil service exam is not a matter of a word.
"Okay, this matter is not urgent, think about it slowly."
Qin Mu nodded. He just made a suggestion. Of course, Pei Xinyue would make the decision whether to do it or not.
"Will you have time to go out with me later?"
After dinner, Pei Xinyue was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Qin Mu asked.
"Yes!"
When Pei Xinyue heard that she would go out with Qin Mu, her eyes were full of excitement. She almost blurted out, put down the dishes in her hands, and said, "Let's go for a walk now!"
After all, it is a great honor to be able to walk with the county magistrate!
"Okay, let's go to Dawang Mountain."
Qin Mu nodded. He just wanted to consult Pei Xinyue about some situations. The other party was a college student and a local villager. Xinyue probably could give the answer to what he wanted to know.
Dawang Mountain?
Pei Xinyue blushed when she heard the location.
Why did the county magistrate choose Dawang Mountain?
Did he think that there was no one there and no one would disturb their date?
Pei Xinyue was really not overthinking. She said she wanted to go out for a walk, so why did she have to go to Dawang Mountain?
Isn't it because there are no other people there?
It's convenient for the two of them... ahem...
But even so, Pei Xinyue was still very happy, and even felt that this was her chance!
Who doesn't want to be alone with the county magistrate?
Of course, it's not just because Qin Mu is the county magistrate, but more because Qin Mu himself has a good image, is young, and has done good things for their Dawang Village.
If it were those paunchy, official-speaking, middle-aged greasy men...
Pei Xinyue wouldn't even want to serve her if she said a few more words, let alone going out for a walk.
The two walked up Dawang Mountain. Fortunately, Dawang Mountain was not very high, and Dawang Village was located halfway up the mountain. They walked along the mountain road for dozens of minutes and reached the top of the mountain.
"Xinyue, can you tell me what kind of tea is grown on Dawang Mountain?"
Standing on the top of the mountain, Qin Mu pointed to the tea leaves at the foot of the mountain and asked with a smile.
Ah?
Why ask this?
Pei Xinyue was a little confused. She followed Qin Mu up the mountain with great difficulty. Instead of talking about love and romance, she asked about the situation of tea.
Could it be that the county magistrate wanted to find a topic first and slowly guide them?
"Sure!"
Pei Xinyue agreed immediately and said, "The tea variety on Dawang Mountain is called Jianlan. It is named because it is shaped like a sword and has the fragrance of orchids. Anyway, it has a long history and ranks among the top tea varieties in Jiangzhou!"
"But because the yield of this tea is not high and the survival rate is relatively low, fewer people have planted Jianlan in recent years. Only the area near Dawang Mountain still insists on planting Jianlan. My grandfather likes Jianlan. Before, other businessmen came and wanted to contract tea land and plant high-yield tea, but they were all rejected by my grandfather."
Jianlan!
Qin Mu had read some information before, and combined with what Pei Xinyue said, he knew the general situation.
The tea is good tea, but it can't keep up with the process of marketization. The yield is low, so it gradually faded out of the market.
Now everything is market-oriented. Low yield means low profit. Those businessmen naturally don't want to do this business. Slowly, Jianlan will fade from the market. In a few years, whether this brand can still exist is a problem.
"What if a businessman comes to invest and expand the production of gladiolus? Will your grandfather and the surrounding growers agree?"
Qin Mu asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid it's difficult."
Pei Xinyue shook her head and said, "It's not that there were no businessmen before, but those people all used mechanized operations. My grandfather still insisted on picking and frying by hand. Only in this way can the quality of gladiolus be guaranteed. Those businessmen finally gave up."
Hand-picking!
Hand-frying!
Qin Mu can understand that grandfather Pei Xinyue is an old craftsman who sticks to his own opinions. Maintaining the quality of gladiolus is the first priority, and everything else is secondary.
It must be difficult to convince these people to accept market-oriented operations!
"If a businessman invests and is only responsible for expanding production, and leaves quality to your grandfather and others, is there hope?"
Qin Mu asked again.
"Of course you can!" Pei Xinyue said yes, but smiled helplessly, saying, "Brother Qin, businessmen invest to make money. How can there be such a good investor? I'm afraid it's hard to find one?" This... Qin Mu was also a little embarrassed. There are indeed very few people who don't interfere with the quality and are only responsible for providing investment. After all, people spend money to make money. The profit cycle of tea itself is relatively long. If you still insist on manual frying, it will definitely delay making money. "Ding Dong..." As he was talking, a message flashed on his mobile phone, and it was sent by Zhao Yanan. "Are you in Huaining County? I'm at the county government!" Ah? You come to me at this time? Qin Mu frowned. Didn't he just tell Zhao Yanan in the morning that he was busy with investment promotion and was not sure if he could make an appointment? Why did you come to me in the middle of the day? This girl, it's a bit too exaggerated to take the initiative. She asked me out in the middle of the day! "I'm not at the county government, I'm still busy, don't make an appointment yet!"
Qin Mu directly replied with a message.
But soon, Zhao Yanan's next message made Qin Mu a little embarrassed.
"I'm not asking you out, it's a friend of mine who wants to invest in Huaining County, I want to introduce you to each other!"
Uh...
This is embarrassing!
Qin Mu's face turned red, it turned out that he had misunderstood.
