Official Career Storm

After Zheng Bihui met Mr. Chu, they got into his business car.

The car drove through Lingjiang City's urban area, rounding most of the city before finally returning to the hotel.

Mr. Chu remained very focused throughout, constantly holding a map of Lingjiang.

His chosen route was quite deliberate.

Zheng Bihui knew that Mr. Chu was investigating specific investment locations.

"Xiao Zhang, go pack some meals and bring them back."

Mr. Chu ordered, "Mayor Zheng, let's go to the room to talk."

They entered the presidential suite, and as soon as they stepped inside, Mr. Chu naturally shrugged off his coat from his shoulders.

The lifestyle assistant behind him stepped forward just at the right moment to catch the falling coat.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Bihui felt a pang of admiration.

This is what a real wealthy person looks like.

At home, Mr. Chu probably has at least three to five assistants serving him.

These assistants are intimately familiar with the details of Mr. Chu's life, offering meticulous care.

Mr. Chu sat down, spread out the map, and pointed to several locations.

"Here, here, and here."

He looked up, "Mayor Zheng, can these places be sold?"

Zheng Bihui stared at the places he pointed to, his heart skipping a beat.

Among them, one is the Tongchi District Government and the other is the Police Department.

Tongchi District's economy ranks third in Lingjiang and is developing quite well.

The city has always wanted to focus on developing Tongchi District because of its excellent geographical position, but there are many old urban and shanty areas.

If they want to rejuvenate the area, a significant financial investment would be required.

Thinking to himself, Zheng Bihui considered that if Mr. Chu were to invest heavily in this area, it could save Lingjiang's finances a sum of money.

Moreover, the old Police Department and District Government buildings could be replaced with new ones.

He nodded, "They can be sold!"

Mr. Chu nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll take this entire area."

He put down the map and leaned back, his assistant immediately handing over a pre-lit cigar.

He took a puff, exhaled, and said, "Bring over the contract."

The assistant brought over the contract, and Mr. Chu handed it to him, "Take a look, Mayor Zheng."

Inside, Zheng Bihui was thrilled.

He knew that Mr. Chu's visit had a high likelihood of signing an investment contract with the Lingjiang City Government.

But when the moment actually arrived, he couldn't help but feel excited.

After all, this is a multi-billion-dollar project!

He calmly flipped through the contract while Mr. Chu said, "On Monday, I'll send personnel over to establish a subsidiary which will sign the contract with the city government."

"The initial investment is expected to be 7 billion, with 3 billion via bank loan."

"I'm not very familiar with the Lingjiang banking system; Mayor Zheng, could you introduce me to some banks?"

Zheng Bihui nodded, "No problem."

Mr. Chu continued, "Once the company is established, we'll sign the contract. Within a month of the loan being disbursed, these places need to be demolished. Mayor Zheng, is there any problem?"

"No problem!"

Mr. Chu smiled with satisfaction.

At this point, Secretary Zhang returned with the meals.

They had their lunch, marking the success of their cooperation, in the presidential suite.

Leaving the hotel, sitting in his car, Zheng Bihui felt invigorated.

Mr. Chu plans to acquire several commercial plots in Tongchi District and will focus on building two twin towers over 300 meters high.

According to Mr. Chu's plan, the future of Tongchi District will revolve around these twin towers, creating a central business district.

It's foreseeable that within the next three years, the economy of Tongchi District will experience rapid development, potentially becoming the CBD business center of all of Lingjiang!

And this is just Mr. Chu's first phase of investment.

In his vision, after successfully building the twin towers, he will continue to expand around these skyscrapers, developing commercial plazas, high-end shopping centers, and more.

The high-end shopping center is to be benchmarked against the most upscale malls in Nanjiang Province's capital!

At that time, they will also invite international brands.

Once the CBD atmosphere in this area is established, Zheng Bihui can foresee the affluent of Nanjiang Province flocking here to shop.

"Phew~"

Zheng Bihui exhaled forcefully.

He was too excited.

However, now is not the time for excitement.

He must address this issue in a meeting before signing the contract.

Because the project involves two government office buildings.

One is the District Government building, the other is the Police Department building.

Thankfully, this is a City Government project, not needing City Committee approval.

After calming down, he dialed Jiang Yuan's number.

"Mayor Jiang, I have something important to discuss with you."

...

Lu Feng leaned back in his chair and called Song Guanchao, "Class monitor, Zheng Bihui met someone this morning, and I've sent you the photo."

"Alright."

Song Guanchao was having a meal with Jiang Yiren.

To understand Qu Xiangru, he could only rely on Jiang Yiren.

Jiang Yiren was quite happy when she received a call from Song Guanchao.

But upon meeting, he continuously asked about things related to Qu Xiangru, making her feel uncomfortable.

She also realized that Song Guanchao invited her for a meal with ulterior motives.

Treating her completely as a tool!

Jiang Yiren felt dejected, wondering if in his eyes, she had no charm at all?

If it weren't for obtaining information on Qu Xiangru, wouldn't he have asked her out?

Song Guanchao hung up and opened the photo.

In the photo, Zheng Bihui and Mr. Chu were shaking hands at the hotel entrance, getting into a car together…

Judging from the man's attire and the business car used, he seemed to be a corporate company's boss.

He didn't pay too much attention to it.

Song Guanchao put down his phone, holding a teacup, lost in thought.

He had been investigating for a while, yet no useful information had surfaced.

The entire Lingjiang remained calm, and the situation that Tang Zhengqiang mentioned, supposedly significant enough to affect top officials, seemed nonexistent.

Even though Song Guanchao believed that Tang Zhengqiang wouldn't deceive him with fake news, he couldn't help but harbor doubts.

There's no such thing as a wall without a crack.

Especially concerning matters impactful enough to affect top leaders.

Song Guanchao couldn't help but wonder where things had gone wrong?

"Hey!"

"Hmm?" Song Guanchao looked up, seeing Jiang Yiren's disgruntled expression.

"Did you ask me out for a meal just to inquire about Secretary Qu?"

"No, you're overthinking it." Song Guanchao dissembled, "I just wanted to have a meal with you, we've worked together for quite a while, and it's good to maintain relationships occasionally."

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yiren didn't believe him: "You could just tell me you want to use me, I wouldn't be upset. If there is anything I can help with, I'm very willing to."

"Help me…" Song Guanchao suddenly asked, "Are you really willing?"

"Yes."

"Even if it requires some sacrifice of your charm, you're willing?"

Jiang Yiren blushed slightly, but having said so much, she had no choice but to stick with it.

Moreover, the idea of sacrificing some charm for Song Guanchao didn't repel her.

"Yes."

"You said it yourself."

Song Guanchao said, "Arrange to meet Secretary Sun for a meal and help me probe into Mayor Zheng's situation."
