Right path to power

After get off work, Lin Xiao visited Liu Yonggui at the hospital again and they talked about their future plans.

Liu Yonggui smiled and said that he would save money for another two years, then start a small business, get married, and settle down.

Lin Xiao admired this young man from the bottom of his heart for his sense of justice, gratitude, and selflessness.

In fact, Lin Xiao had considered whether to directly arrange work or give a large sum of money, but after careful consideration, he still felt that he should respect Liu Yonggui's own ideas.

"I have an idea. My mom is planning to open a pharmacy in Fuchuan. You can partner with her; you can have whatever percentage you want. You'll be in charge of the business, your salary will be based on the local Fuchuan standards, and profit sharing will be separate. What do you think?"

Liu Yonggui's eyes lit up, but then he looked troubled: "It's good, but..."

"I'll pay you the principal first, and you can pay me back when you make money. That way, having your own business will make it easier to get married."

"this......"

"It's settled then. You should take this time to get some training and take the pharmacist certification exam. I'll have my mom arrange it later. But there's a big difference between working for someone and running a business, so you need to be mentally prepared."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely work hard, but about the principal..."

"Don't worry, if I wanted to give you the money directly, I wouldn't have told you this. Besides, I know you won't accept it. This money is a loan from me. Just remember to pay it back, but there's no rush. Haha."

"Okay, thank you, County Chief Lin."

"Don't be so polite!" After a pause, Lin Xiao said seriously, "But there are some things I have to say upfront: pharmacies must operate legally and compliantly. Don't be greedy for cheap prices and sell inferior goods as superior ones, otherwise I won't show any mercy."

"clear!"

Before leaving, Lin Xiao left her and Ji Jianghua's phone numbers, telling Liu Yonggui to call directly if he needed anything.

After returning to the car, Lin Xiao called her mother, Xiang Fangjing.

"County Chief, shall we go back to the guesthouse for dinner or find somewhere nearby?" Ji Jianghua asked after Lin Xiao finished his call.

Lin Xiao glanced out the window: "It's close to Changning Street, let's grab something to eat there."

During this period, he has been thinking about how to create a distinctive street, with Changning Street being the top priority. If it can be developed and managed well, it can not only attract people to visit, but also drive the development of related industries.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to carefully plan how to make Changning Street more attractive.

The two found an open-air stir-fry restaurant, ordered several specialty dishes, and enjoyed the night view of the riverbanks as they ate—the colorful lights, the soft music, and the babbling water...

Suddenly, an idea popped into Lin Xiao's mind, and an excited look appeared on his face. He took out his phone to call Zhao Binyuan.

Just then, a phone call came in. Lin Xiao answered it with some confusion when she saw it was from Zhu Lishu.

"Secretary Zhu, what are your instructions?"

"Kobayashi, where are you?"

"We're eating on Changning Street. Have you eaten yet? Want to come over?"

"No, there's something I wanted to discuss with you. The Discipline Inspection Commission has completed its investigation into Yan Zhiwei at the Administrative Service Center and found no economic problems; the main issue was lax management. I was wondering if we could consider giving him some leeway when dealing with him?"

A hint of helplessness crept into Julie's voice.

Lin Xiao was taken aback; this was something he hadn't expected. "So, what does the Party Secretary mean?"

Julie Shu said, "My point is that we should adhere to the principle of treating and saving lives, and try not to condemn someone outright. What do you think?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I'm fine with it. Let the Discipline Inspection Commission come up with a plan for how to handle it. However, he definitely can't stay in the Administrative Service Center anymore."

Zhu Lishu is the county party secretary, and the fact that she made this call is already a great honor for him. Naturally, he wouldn't let such a small matter cause any resentment between the two of them.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Juliet, he knew that Juliet must have had some reason to speak up.

"Okay, then that's settled." Juliet replied readily, then sighed and said, "Alas, too much clarity leaves no room for fish; this is the nature of a society based on personal connections."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I understand. By the way, I have some ideas for developing Changning Street. I will give you a detailed report after I have formed a preliminary plan."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

In fact, she wasn't entirely sure that Lin Xiao would accept her suggestion. Fortunately, Lin Xiao didn't say much. As for transferring Yan Zhiwei away from the administrative center, that was inevitable.

Just now, Han Chengdong, who has been transferred to the position of Secretary-General of the Municipal Government, personally called her and said a lot, but mainly he expressed one point: regarding Yan Zhiwei's matter, he asked her to raise the issue high and then let it go gently.

Although her relationship with Mayor Ma Guanghua was not ordinary, Han Chengdong was also a close confidant of Ma Guanghua and now served as the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government. Whether it was out of consideration for being in the same camp or out of fear of the position of Secretary-General of the Municipal Government, she had no reason to refuse this time.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the matter itself does leave room for maneuver.

Subsequently, Zhu Lishu called Yang Xueting.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao hung up the phone and shook her head helplessly.

As soon as the call connected, Zhao Binyuan's hearty laughter came through: "Hello, County Chief Lin, what instructions do you have? Is there some lucrative project you'd like to make money from? Hahaha..."

Lin Xiao also laughed and said, "No wonder President Zhao is so successful, working so hard."

"Haha, empty titles, just empty titles, County Magistrate Lin is joking."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Xiao explained his ideas for developing Changning Street and invited Zhao Binyuan to come and conduct an on-site inspection as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll come to Fuchuan tomorrow." Zhao Binyuan didn't waste any time. "I've been looking forward to cooperating with Linxian again, and I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Dayuan Company previously made a lot of money by cooperating in the development of a health and wellness town in Fengshan County, and also accumulated some experience in the cultural tourism industry.

In addition, Lin Xiao's own career potential had already convinced Zhao Binyuan to maintain a good working relationship with Lin Xiao.

So even if Lin Xiao doesn't contact him, he plans to come to Fuchuan in the next couple of days to look for projects.

After finishing his meal and returning to the guesthouse, Lin Xiao went through his ideas in his mind, called Song Wanqing again, and then went to sleep peacefully.

The next morning.

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Yang Xueting came to Lin Xiao's office and specifically discussed the investigation into Yan Zhiwei. He then said, "Secretary Zhu called me last night to express his concern about the situation at the Administrative Service Center..."

Lin Xiao nodded: "Yes, let's do as Secretary Zhu instructed. We must not only treat the sick and save lives, but also warn others and consider the overall situation. This is our basic principle in dealing with any problem."

"Understood, we will certainly enforce the law impartially."

Lin Xiao smiled. He was quite pleased that Yang Xueting had come to greet him in advance, which showed that Yang Xueting valued his opinion.

"County Head, regarding Yan Zhiwei's future, my suggestion is to transfer him to a suitable department, such as the County Federation of Literary and Art Circles or the County Cultural Center. What do you think?"

Lin Xiao looked up at Yang Xueting, laughed, and said, "Secretary Yang, I think your approach is good. Just stick to the principle of combining leniency with severity and handling things properly. You can talk to Secretary Zhu about it."

"OK."

This marked the end of Yan Zhiwei's political career.

Around nine o'clock, Zhao Binyuan arrived with his assistant.

"Welcome to Fuchuan, Mr. Zhao. It's been a while, and you still look as dashing as ever."

Zhao Binyuan said with a smile, "It's truly a cause for celebration that County Magistrate Lin has been promoted so high. I've always wanted to invite County Magistrate Lin for a drink, but the timing has never been right. I must make time for him today."

"Haha, I'll try my best, I'll try my best."

After taking his seat, Zhao Binyuan first stated his position: "To be honest with County Chief Lin, Dayuan had previously participated in real estate development bidding in Fuchuan, but unfortunately lost to local companies, although we did manage to acquire a plot of land. However, I believe that Fuchuan still has great potential, and since County Chief Lin is now in charge of Fuchuan County, Dayuan has also decided to increase its investment."

In these words, Zhao Binyuan mainly wanted to express one point: he came to Fuchuan to invest, partly to make money, and partly because of Lin Xiao.

Regardless of the reason, Lin Xiao was pleased with this statement, since Fuchuan County's financial pressure could indeed be alleviated by selling land.

Therefore, Lin Xiao invited Zhao Binyuan to inspect the area, not only to develop Changning Street, but also to promote real estate development in Fuchuan County.

Of course, this is not about simply building cities, but about using urbanization reform as a fulcrum and combining it with local realities and advantages to carry out forward-looking urban planning for Fuchuan.

This point was also specifically elaborated in Xie Chenglin's report.

After chatting for a while, Lin Xiao brought Zhao Binyuan to conduct an on-site inspection.
