Chapter 145 The Significance of Tang Yiyuan

"Yes, yes, rest assured, Leader, I will make sure the reception is well handled," it took a few moments for Head Liu to snap back to reality, hurriedly saying.

"Remember, Professor Tang is very important!" Director Li reminded once more before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Director Li immediately called the head of the county television station, instructing Changxi County TV to promptly dispatch reporters to accompany the trip to Wangzhou Township.

Then, a driver came to report that the car was ready, and Director Li hurriedly went to fetch County Mayor Peng Jin before they both got into the vehicle.

In addition to County Mayor Peng Jin, several other key officials from the County Party Committee and County Government, who were in the office building, also set out in response.

Initially, Director Li had not taken Head Liu's call to heart. After all, a professor of Chinese medicine, unlike those in law or economics, was unlikely to have the chance to get involved in politics or influence their career advancement.

Just after Director Li ended the call, the head of the county health bureau came to consult with him on a matter. Since the health bureau oversaw the county's medical work, Director Li casually mentioned Tang Yiyuan's name to him.

Since the health bureau head belonged to the medical community, he recognized the name Tang Yiyuan and was startled, exclaiming that Professor Tang was no ordinary figure; he was an expert on our province's specialist medical team.

Upon hearing this from the head of the health bureau, Director Li sprang up from his seat as if his buttocks were on fire.

As the director of the County Government Office, he was well aware of the significance of being an expert on the provincial specialist medical team. This was the "Imperial Physician" to the provincial leaders of Jiangnan Province! A person who could meet with provincial leaders from time to time, have a chat, and treat their illnesses, and who was generally treated by the leaders with equal respect. Could such a person be slighted in Changxi County?

Of course not! Not only could he not be slighted, but he also had to be hosted well. Otherwise, if this expert were to speak ill of Changxi County in passing while treating provincial leaders one day, leaving a bad impression of Changxi County in their minds, wouldn't that be disastrous?

This was especially troubling to Director Li when he considered that such a "big shot" was coming to invest in Changxi County, which was a great honor for them, yet none of the local leadership had come forward to receive him. He felt increasingly fearful.

Therefore, Director Li hurried to report to County Mayor Peng Jin. The leadership team in Changxi County was very united, unlike some places where the Party Secretary and the County Mayor couldn't see eye to eye.

After hearing this report, County Mayor Peng Jin was also taken aback and immediately gave it his utmost attention. He not only instructed Director Li to immediately take care of the reception arrangements, including arranging for TV reporters for interviews, but also personally called Secretary Jia Kai, who was away on business in Ouzhou City.

Secretary Jia Kai was well aware of the weight carried by an expert physician who had direct contact with provincial leaders, and he too immediately rushed back from the city.

After taking the call, Head Liu quietly shared the news with Secretary Shangguan Yunfeng in a low voice, and Secretary Shangguan became extremely anxious as well.

Thus, Head Liu and Secretary Shangguan Yunfeng, who had initially been somewhat impatient, began to feel as though they were treading on thin ice, their hearts filled with trepidation. Of course, what dominated their feelings was an excitement almost akin to a surge of adrenaline.

Because the greater Professor Tang Yiyuan's importance was in the eyes of the county leaders, the greater Wangzhou Township's significance would be in their esteem, as the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory was located in their Wangzhou Township.

Of course, this was all predicated on the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory not moving elsewhere; hence, while experiencing a mix of anxiety and excitement, Secretary Shangguan and Mayor Liu had already made up their minds to do whatever it took to ensure the factory was firmly rooted in Wangzhou Township.

It wasn't too far from the county seat to Wangzhou Township, about half an hour later, a formidable fleet of cars arrived at the Qinghe Herbal Tea Factory. Continue reading at empire

Not only were there the county head, deputy county head, deputy secretary, and the head of the county health bureau, but also reporters from the TV station.

My goodness, the sight of this procession of cars, and the people alighting from them, completely dumbfounded Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin.

Not being part of the officialdom, they naturally didn't comprehend the significance the title of Jiangnan Province expert medical group specialist held for the subordinate county leaders.

It was only after they saw the county leaders, who they had only seen on television before, extending their hands to warmly shake hands with Tang Yiyuan, that Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin suddenly realized what an incredible shareholder Ge Dongxu had introduced to them.

Thinking about how such an impressive individual behaved so respectfully in Ge Dongxu's presence, Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin felt their hearts could barely handle such a tremendous shock.

Professor Tang wasn't usually a high-profile person; however, because it was Ge Dongxu who provided the herbal tea recipe for the factory, Professor Tang had complete confidence that this was genuinely tea that cooled but did not chill, and that if properly promoted, not only would he make a fortune, but it would also significantly benefit public health. It might even, if well promoted, reach the global market like American beverages such as Coca-Cola.

You should know that Qinghe Herbal Tea is many times healthier than carbonated drinks like Coca-Cola.

So, Professor Tang, who usually kept a low profile, was not displeased when he saw that both the county leaders and the television station were alerted; on the contrary, he went against his usual style and became uncharacteristically high-profile for a change.

He first warmly met with local government leaders like Peng Jin and even gave an interview to the Changxi County television station. As a result, Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin also made an appearance on TV.

Fortunately, Professor Tang and others knew Ge Dongxu preferred to stay out of the limelight and just wanted to quietly remain a student, so they didn't mention Ge Dongxu during the interview.

That evening, the Changxi County government leaders held a banquet at the Changxi Grand Hotel to entertain Professor Tang and Dr. Huang Wenjie, with Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin in attendance, and, of course, the Permanent Secretary of the county committee, Zuo Le. The owner of the Changxi Grand Hotel also heard the news and came specially to toast them several times.

Because Professor Tang intended to establish good relations with the local government, and the Changxi County government leaders wished to do the same, that night's reception was a merry one for both hosts and guests. Secretary Shangguan and Mayor Liu from Wangzhou Township, as the parents of their locality, rarely had the chance to be at such a high-level banquet and repeatedly assured, patting their chests, that they would provide excellent government support.

That evening, the Changxi County television station news devoted a significant segment to the coverage of Professor Tang's visit to Wangzhou Township in Changxi County and his investment in the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory.

The Changxi County television station had a considerable viewing rate within the county, and with this broadcast, the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory caused quite a stir in Changxi County even before it began production. Especially when the locals heard that Qinghe Herbal Tea was researched and improved by Professor Tang Yiyuan, a doctoral supervisor at Jiangnan Province Traditional Chinese Medicine University, based on an old local herbal tea recipe, they felt an increased level of trust and anticipation.

They generally believed that a herbal tea recipe improved by a doctoral supervisor professor would surely be better than what they could concoct using their traditional methods. That very night, a wholesaler from the Changxi County non-staple food wholesale market, who previously did business with the herbal tea beverage factory, called Cheng Yazhou's cell phone, inquiring about when Qinghe Herbal Tea would hit the market.
