Chapter 15 The Great Writer

"A clothing store? You're developing so fast? I thought you were talking about a long time from now. It's only been a few days, and you're already planning to open a store?"

Jiang Yang smiled and didn't say much, only briefly explaining his plan.

Li Wen was even more shocked after hearing this.

She hadn't expected that Jiang Yang had already secured a large order from a state-owned restaurant.

"Jiang Yang, you're amazing!"

Li Wen sincerely praised him, then glanced at the application form in Jiang Yang's hand, her big eyes darting around before she looked at Jiang Yang with a sly glint in her eyes.

"Jiang Yang, come with me, I can help you with this."

"Um?!!"

Jiang Yang was completely dumbfounded. Could Li Wen really handle this?

However, Li Wen did not explain to him, and Jiang Yang did not ask any further questions. He could only follow her upstairs.

Li Wen led Jiang Yang up to the third floor, walked to the door of an office, and gently knocked on the door.

Jiang Yang looked at the words "Director's Office" on the doorplate and was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that Li Wen would know the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

"Please come in."

A deep, steady male voice came from the office.

Li Wen pushed open the door and pulled Jiang Yang inside.

"Dad, I've brought you some documents."

Jiang Yang was startled when he saw Li Wen greet the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk with practiced ease. This middle-aged man, with thick eyebrows and a square face, exuded an air of authority; he was none other than Li Tai, the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

He never expected that Li Wen's father was actually the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau!

Li Tai took the document and looked at Li Wen with affection: "Hmm, this work is well done, you've improved."

"Oh my, your daughter has always been excellent, hasn't she!" Li Wen joked with Li Tai with a hint of coquetry.

At that moment, Li Tai also noticed Jiang Yang at the door.

"Hmm? Wenwen, who is this...?"

"Dad, this is Jiang Yang, the great writer I told you about yesterday, the one who helped Emily translate her novel."

When Li Wen mentioned Jiang Yang, she seemed very proud and couldn't help but praise him.

"Really?"

Li Tai looked at Jiang Yang, sized him up, and then stood up to greet him.

"Jiang Yang, hello, I am Li Tai, Wenwen's father."

Jiang Yang quickly stepped forward and greeted him politely.

"Director Li, hello."

At this moment, Li Wen interjected, "Dad, the dress I'm wearing was made by Jiang Yang, it's so beautiful! He's amazing, he now owns a clothing store and has even received a big order from a state-run restaurant!"

As she spoke, she even turned around to show off her clothes.

A flicker of surprise crossed Li Tai's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He nodded, gesturing for Jiang Yang to sit down.

"Young man, what brings you here?"

"Director Li, I would like to apply for a sole proprietorship license."

Jiang Yang explained his purpose.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tai frowned and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Jiang Yang's heart tightened, and he tentatively asked:

"Director Li, is there some difficulty?"

Li Tai pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Xiao Jiang, the national policy does encourage the development of the individual economy, but our Jiang'an County is still quite cautious in this regard. At present... we have not issued any individual business licenses."

He paused and added.

"You know, no one can predict policy changes. What if things change in the future... cough cough, I have to consider the bigger picture."

Jiang Yang immediately understood Li Tai's concerns.

He's worried about policy changes; if he issues a license now, he might be held responsible if the authorities investigate later.

Jiang Yang pondered inwardly how to dispel Li Tai's concerns.

"Director Li, I understand your concerns. But I can guarantee that this certificate will absolutely be a bargaining chip to boost the economy of Jiang'an County! The country has already established the reform and opening-up policy, and there will be no reversal, so you can rest assured!"

Jiang Yang spoke with a firm tone and a burning gaze.

Li Tai continued tapping his fingers on the table, his brow furrowed, and remained silent.

This is no small matter; if something goes wrong, he might lose his position as bureau chief.

Jiang Yang took a deep breath and emphasized his words.

"Director Li, if any problems arise in the future, just put all the blame on me! I, Jiang Yang, will take full responsibility!"

He gave it all!

Jiang Yang naturally knew that the country's future policies would support the development of individual businesses, but Jiang'an County had not yet started this process, and Li Tai also had many concerns.

However, I don't have time to wait for the spring breeze of reform to reach here. By then, everyone can do business, so what advantage will I have left?

What I need to do is be the first to try something new.

Li Tai suddenly looked up and gave Jiang Yang a deep look.

This young man has quite the nerve.

Jiang Yang did not back down at all. Meeting Li Tai's gaze, he continued, "Moreover, I have some news. The province will soon issue an official document ordering all cities and counties to liberalize the individual economy!"

Li Tai was stunned: "How did you know?"

Jiang Yang's heart skipped a beat; he almost let something slip. He composed himself and said vaguely, "Well... I heard it from someone else."

He can't exactly say he's from another time, can he?

Li Tai looked at Jiang Yang suspiciously, and he had a feeling that Jiang Yang was hiding a lot of secrets.

"Dad, Jiang Yang is amazing! The clothes he makes are so beautiful, and he even has a big order from a state-run restaurant! Please help him out!"

At this moment, Li Wen also stood up to speak for Jiang Yang. As she spoke, she gently tugged at her father's sleeve and shook it coquettishly.

Looking at his daughter's expectant eyes, Li Tai sighed inwardly.

Jiang Yang felt a surge of warmth as he watched Li Wen speak up for him. After all, he had only met Li Wen once, so it was quite unexpected that she cared so much about his affairs.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Tai finally made up his mind.

"Alright, since you're so confident, I'll give you a hand. Come pick up the certificate in two days."

"Thank you, Director Li! Thank you!"

Jiang Yang stood up excitedly and thanked him repeatedly.

Li Wen smiled happily as well.

"Great! I knew my dad was the best!"

Seeing his daughter and Jiang Yang's happy faces, Li Tai smiled as well. Perhaps this really was a good opportunity to put Jiang'an County ahead of the competition.

Jiang Yang walked out of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, feeling extremely relieved.

This first step has finally been taken!

Jiang Yang recalled that he had vaguely heard of the name Jiang'an County in his previous life.

Jiang'an County was originally just a poor county, but after the reform and opening up, it seized the opportunity and took the lead in the times, achieving an economic take-off earlier than other surrounding counties.

It seems that the economic boom of Jiang'an County in the previous life may have been closely related to Li Tai's boldness and decisiveness, because during this special period, as the leader of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, a single decision could affect the development of the county.
