Chapter 158 Whose Face Do I Represent

Eight o'clock, the County Government's meeting room was spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people.

All the business representatives attending this investment meeting had entered the venue one after another.

Since there were nameplates marking everyone's seats, the attendees quickly found their respective places and began to observe the other seating arrangements. Aside from the front row, which was reserved for government officials, the second row and beyond were designated for key enterprise representatives, who were most likely to be selected for projects.

Therefore, everyone was watching to see who sat in the second row. Often, you couldn't get projects directly from the government, but you could from these individuals. This was the origin of what's known as the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary packages, and most seated here were from state-owned enterprises, whose power and connections were unmatched by private firms.
