Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze.

A dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on Yi Xuexi, who was sitting at the long table.

Everyone knows that this guy is a tough nut to crack, transferred from Jinshan County.

Everyone knows that he was personally selected by Governor Zhong Heping.

Chen Jianguo sat in the main seat, holding a teacup in his hand. The lid of the cup gently scraped against the rim, making a crisp sound of porcelain rubbing together.

He was waiting for Yi Xuexi to speak.

This is a rule of the Jingzhou municipal government; a new official always has to make a few moves or make a statement when taking office.

Yi Xuexi, facing everyone's gaze, turned to a page in his notebook.

He picked up his pen and made two dots on the paper.

"Secretary Chen, several vice mayors, District Chief Li, and colleagues."

Yi Xuexi's voice was very steady, without the slightest hint of awkwardness as a newcomer.

"I have been working at the grassroots level for many years, so I am not familiar with the overall situation in the city."

"Jingzhou is the provincial capital, with a large area and many projects."

"I just arrived today and I'm completely clueless, so I really can't offer any profound or constructive suggestions."

"During this period, I mainly focused on observing, listening, and learning as much as possible, trying to catch up with everyone's pace as soon as possible."

These words were perfectly watertight.

He adopted a very humble posture and spoke in a very modest tone.

Many people in the conference room secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally thought Zhong Heping sent a troublemaker, but now it seems that this person knows a bit about etiquette.

A hint of relief flashed in Chen Jianguo's eyes.

He slammed the teacup down on the table.

"Vice Mayor Yi is being modest."

Chen Jianguo put on a standard official smile.

"Your grassroots experience is a valuable asset. We will need your continued support for the city's work in the future."

"Since Vice Mayor Yi has just arrived and needs to familiarize himself with the situation, let's not talk about any big plans today."

Chen Jianguo glanced around the conference table.

"Let's have a brief chat about the most important developments in Jingzhou right now, so that Vice Mayor Yi can have a general idea."

The deputy mayors immediately understood.

The vice mayor in charge of commerce was the first to clear his throat.

"Secretary Chen, let me first report on the situation in Suda New City."

"These past few days, Suda New City has become a shining example of Jingzhou's success."

"The number of visitors on the first day of opening exceeded 290,000, a figure that even made the front page of the provincial newspaper."

"On the weekend, the number of customers not only did not decrease, but instead saw another peak."

"License plates from surrounding Luzhou and Lincheng are everywhere, and the shopping mall's parking lot is simply not enough. The traffic police brigade temporarily planned two one-way streets to barely stabilize the traffic."

Another vice mayor in charge of public security quickly chimed in.

"That's right, the flow of people is indeed huge."

"But don't worry, Secretary Chen, our public security system has tripled its police force, and they are patrolling the surrounding area around the clock."

"Since its opening, there has not been a single major security incident, and the overall order has been very stable."

The vice mayor in charge of political and legal affairs also joined in the fun.

"The driving effect of Suda New City is too obvious."

"In the past two days, land prices in the surrounding areas of the southern suburbs have been rising."

"Many out-of-town businessmen have contacted our investment promotion bureau, wanting to acquire land nearby to build factories."

"This is all thanks to the municipal party committee's accurate grasp of the direction and District Chief Li's effective execution, which has led to today's excellent situation."

A soft murmur of agreement rippled through the conference room.

The flattery was deafening.

Chen Jianguo felt extremely pleased to hear this.

Suda New City is not only Liang Cheng's business, but also Chen Jianguo's first dazzling achievement after becoming the municipal party secretary.

He turned to look at Li Dakang, who was sitting on his left.

"Comrade Dakang, the southern suburbs have made a great contribution this time."

"Your district absolutely cannot let things fall apart in terms of follow-up service and support."

Li Dakang nodded.

"Secretary Chen, rest assured, a special working group has been established in the southern suburbs to coordinate with the operational needs of Suda New City 24 hours a day."

"We will give the green light to any reasonable and compliant request."

Chen Jianguo leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.

The meeting has reached this point, and all the achievements that needed to be boasted about have been boasted about, and all the necessary warnings have been given.

He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

"Alright, today's main purpose is to welcome Vice Mayor Yi. Everyone has work to do, so let's not take up any more time."

"Disperse..."

The word "will" was not uttered yet.

Yi Xuexi suddenly closed the notebook in front of him.

A soft "snap" sound.

It stood out starkly in the quiet conference room.

"Secretary Chen, please wait a moment."

Yi Xuexi raised his head and looked directly at Chen Jianguo, who was in the main seat.

Chen Jianguo's brows furrowed instantly.

He suppressed his displeasure and asked in a cold voice.

"Does Vice Mayor Yi have anything to add?"

Yi Xuexi sat upright with his hands crossed on the table.

"After listening to the reports from several colleagues, I have indeed gained a preliminary understanding of the Suda New City project."

"My job, as assigned by the organization, was to oversee the economy and urban construction."

"These two tasks form the backbone of Jingzhou's development."

Easy to learn speaks slowly, but each word is pronounced very heavily.

"As the largest commercial complex in the city, Suda New City involves both a huge economic scale and a large area of ​​urban construction."

"I had heard of this project when I was in Jinshan County."

"Now that I'm in charge of this area, I need to get up to speed as quickly as possible."

Yi Xuexi turned to look at the director of the government office sitting in the corner.

"Could you please send a copy of all the relevant documents for Suda New City, from project initiation, approval, land transfer to fire safety inspection, to my office before you leave work today?"

The meeting room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that Yi Xuexi, after saying that he was unfamiliar with the situation and needed to observe and listen more, would turn around and directly ask for all the secrets of the city's largest project.

This isn't a trip to familiarize themselves with the situation.

They're clearly here to audit the accounts!

The person is not good!

These four words simultaneously appeared in everyone's minds.

The director of the government office broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Chen Jianguo for help.

Chen Jianguo's face darkened completely.

He placed his hands on the edge of the table and leaned forward slightly.

"Vice Mayor Yi, you've just arrived in Jingzhou, so you may not be familiar with the situation yet."

"The Suda New City project was personally overseen by the Provincial Party Committee and Governor Zhong Heping of the Provincial Government, and the city government also gave it the green light all the way."

"The shopping mall has now opened successfully and achieved remarkable results."

"Both the province and the city highly approve of it, and all the procedures have stood the test of scrutiny."

Chen Jianguo's tone carried an undisguised warning.

"I don't think there's any need to dig up those old, outdated files and start over," I said.

"You should focus on getting your other routine work sorted out first."

If it were an ordinary cadre, upon hearing these words from the municipal party secretary, they would have already backed down and given in.

But Yi Xuexi didn't even blink.

"Secretary Chen, it is precisely because the project is so large that I need to examine it even more carefully."

Easy learner's attitude is extremely firm.

"The opening of the shopping mall is just the first step."

"Such a large flow of people and such a dense concentration of commercial buildings have a profound impact on the surrounding traffic, underground pipe network, and residents' lives."

"If anything goes wrong in any link, it could cause a huge mess."

"As the vice mayor in charge of urban construction, I am responsible to the people if I sign a document."

Yi Xuexi directly laid the word "responsibility" on the table.

"How can I dare to sign any subsequent cooperation documents without seeing the complete set of materials?"
