Name: My father is Zhao Dehan, and I hope he will become a dragon!

Outside the provincial party committee building, the spring chill lingered.

"Secretary Li, please wait!"

Zhao Dehan walked over.

Li Dakang was slightly taken aback, and then stopped in his tracks.

His current condition is much better than in the original story.

Zhao Dehan resolved the conflict between Dafeng Factory and Shanshui Group. Sha Ruijin also refrained from requesting government funding at the meeting. With the conflict resolved, Li Dakang was in a good mood.

Upon hearing Zhao Dehan's voice, Li Dakang stopped and looked at Zhao Dehan, asking, "Governor Zhao, is something the matter?"

Li Dakang had a good impression of Zhao Dehan.

They can handle things, and more importantly, they can solve them.

He defused several of Ding Yizhen's major problems; otherwise, he would never be as relaxed as he is now.

Zhao Dehan smiled and said, "It's like this, my son Zhao Chongming wants to make some investments in Handong Province and plans to do something big in the Nanhu Industrial Zone."

Li Dakang was slightly taken aback: "What? Are you planning something big?"

Zhao Dehan nodded calmly: "He plans to invest in building a super contract manufacturer, similar in scale to Foxconn—to undertake global electronics manufacturing, hardware assembly, and OEM production."

"Oh?"

Li Dakang was taken aback, his eyes immediately darting around: "You're going to do this?"

"He studied in the United States and learned a lot. He plans to start a manufacturing business back in China!"

Zhao Dehan smiled and said, "I believe that these novel things will bring a lot of employment to Handong Province and further boost its economic construction and development!"

Li Dakang quickly began to think.

Although he may flatter his superiors, he is not entirely without principles.

Zhao Ruilong wanted to build a food court in Luzhou, but he refused, fearing that the pollution would be too great and create a problem for himself.

He cherishes his reputation immensely.

Upon hearing that it was a manufacturing industry and that it could boost employment, Li Dakang became interested.

This thing is all his own political achievements.

He glanced at Zhao Dehan again.

Li Dakang was well aware that Zhao Dehan was actually under more pressure than he was.

A year later, if he didn't perform well, Zhao Dehan was dismissed and became a marginal figure.

Li Dakang, on the other hand, does not need to consider the one-year timeframe.

Even if he doesn't do a good job a year later, he will still be a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Both parachuted-in and rescue-style cadres are under pressure to meet KPIs.

In some ways, the same applies to Sha Ruijin.

We need to achieve some political success in a short period of time.

Zhao Dehan needs his cooperation, and of course, Li Dakang also needs Zhao Dehan's cooperation.

Currently, the two have formed a limited collaboration.

Li Dakang paused slightly. "Is the order guaranteed?"

"Yes," Zhao Dehan said calmly without elaborating, "Chongming has met quite a few people overseas and can handle some orders. I don't think there's much of a problem!"

Li Dakang: "Could you elaborate?"

Zhao Dehan shook his head and said, "He's my son, so I have to avoid any appearance of impropriety. You can discuss the specific details of the cooperation directly with him. He might need a policy-based loan for factory construction and equipment procurement."

Li Dakang narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and slowly nodded: "Okay. Let him come find me."

After a slight pause, Li Dakang continued, "As long as the project is genuine, creates significant employment opportunities, and generates substantial tax revenue... the Jingzhou Municipal Government can coordinate with the China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China to provide support."

"Thank you, Secretary Li." Zhao Dehan nodded. "He's young, but he's very reliable. He won't cause you any trouble."

Li Dakang nodded slightly: "Okay, I will definitely handle this impartially!"

The two parted ways at the fork in the road.

Li Dakang glanced back at Zhao Dehan's retreating figure, his mind also preoccupied with Zhao Chongming's matter.

He also knew that Zhao Dehan needed a foothold now.

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of entrepreneurs' trust in the government.

It was easy for Shanshui Group to get 400 million yuan, but it still made other companies feel fearful, as the government would force them to ask for money, which is not good for the business environment.

His own son suffered the same fate.

It's about trying to win them back.

"What can you bring out?" Li Dakang asked curiously.

……

……

On another tree-lined path, Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei walked one after the other.

Gao Yuliang didn't look at Qi Tongwei, his voice as cold as ice: "You're being too reckless."

Qi Tongwei lowered his head, his tone icy: "Teacher, I... I thought Zhao Dehan would speak."

"say?"

Gao Yuliang sneered: "What did he say? 'The organization will investigate'—anyone can say that, right? You spent four hundred million to buy a worthless statement? Let me tell you, he's a rescue-style cadre; he'll only remain neutral. That's his core thinking. He'll speak up for you, but he'll never risk his life for you!"

Qi Tongwei's lips turned pale: "But Zhao Chongming did agree!"

"So you know it's Zhao Chongming!" Gao Yuliang said coldly. "What use are his promises? The credit for resolving the Dafeng Factory issue goes to Zhao Dehan, what does it have to do with you?"

Qi Tongwei felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger, then lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, teacher... I... I really want to improve!"

"If you want to improve, you can't be in such a hurry!"

Gao Yuliang stopped abruptly, turned around and stared at him: "You think you can curry favor with Sha Ruijin by tilling the soil, delivering flowers, and sweeping the yard for Chen Yanshi? Don't you know what kind of person Old Chen is? Do you think he'll say a good word about you? You, you..."

Gao Yuliang is truly feeling mentally exhausted.

Qi Tongwei remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Teacher, I... I was wrong!"

"Now that you know you were wrong, it's too late!"

Gao Yuliang lowered his voice, each word like a knife: "Sha Ruijin made a laughingstock of you in public, Li Dakang took the opportunity to kick you while you were down, and even Zhao Dehan only offered a few perfunctory words—you've become a laughing stock in the political circles of Handong!"

Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth: "Then... about the vice governor..."

"You're still thinking about becoming the vice-governor?"

Gao Yuliang laughed angrily: "Sha Ruijingang froze the promotions of more than 300 people. The first person he had to guard against was an 'opportunistic cadre' like you. The more anxious you are, the faster you'll die."

Qi Tongwei stood there, stammering, "Then, then, do I have absolutely no chance?"

"Look, you're in such a hurry again!"

Gao Yuliang said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's clean up the accounts of the Shanshui Group first, so that Hou Liangping can't find any fault with it. As for the vice governor... let him survive first, then we can talk about advancement."

Qi Tongwei said, "Okay!"

"Furthermore!" Gao Yuliang said calmly, "We need to spread the word that Zhao Dehan extorted 400 million from Shanshui Group. This matter can't be left like this. Since Zhao Dehan has turned his back on us, we need to let him know that he didn't take those 400 million for nothing. It's impossible for Zhao Dehan to keep his position as vice governor!"

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, then said fiercely, "I understand, teacher. Leave it to me! I have nine ways to make him fail, nine ways!"
