Lu Zhiwei is Bai Zhengqiang's chief secretary, but because he has only been in the position of secretary for a short time, he has not been promoted to deputy director of the Provincial Government Office. He only serves as the director of the General Affairs Department of the Provincial Government Office.

Lu Zhiwei had a good personal relationship with the deputy director. Hearing this, he shook his head slightly and said, "Director Zhao, there are some things I can't tell you. You have to understand me."

Upon hearing this, the deputy director surnamed Zhao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and stepped aside.

The same question was asked to Yang Zhengyu and Chen Zesheng by some of the officials who came with Bai Zhengqiang, but the main target was Yang Zhengyu. After all, before being transferred to Tianqu as the secretary, Yang Zhengyu was the secretary of a district under Quancheng and had many old friends in Quancheng.

However, Yang Zhengyu and Chen Zesheng also did not dare to reveal the relationship between Yang Jing and Bai Zhengqiang. They would not talk about such private matters without the consent of the parties involved. Not to mention that one of them is the richest man in the world in the true sense, and the other is his boss. They can't afford to offend either of them.

"Let's go to the city and see what's going on there." Bai Zhengqiang tightened his collar and said to Yang Jing while opening the car door and getting in.

Yang Jing started the car and said as he drove: "Dad, you have to be mentally prepared when we get to the city. The whole city has become a big construction site and it's a bit messy."

"Haha, construction, especially such a large-scale construction, is bound to cause chaos. But will this affect the travel and daily life of local people?"

"That's not the case. Currently, Tianqu City has started construction of three subways and one light rail, as well as elevated highways on four main roads. These are the most important projects in the city. The others are some auxiliary projects, such as sewage treatment plants and high schools."

"Well, why is there still a high school under construction?"

"Dad, it's like this. There is a very unreasonable education situation in Tianqu now, and it is probably a situation that exists throughout the country. Before the implementation of the 12-year compulsory education, children would suddenly find that their path to high school was narrowed to an incomprehensible degree after graduating from junior high school. It is no exaggeration to say that the junior high school entrance examination for children now is no less difficult than the college entrance examination thirty years ago. I remember that when I was in high school, it was very difficult to pass the exam. It is even more difficult for children now. It is very common for junior high school students to do homework until eleven or twelve o'clock every night. Because if they don't study hard, they will not be able to pass the high school entrance examination! So, don't look at the top saying that they want to reduce the burden on children, but in fact, due to the bottleneck of high school education resources, junior high school children now, especially those in the third year of junior high school, are even more tired than those in the third year of senior high school. I think this is a very abnormal thing, so I plan to build five or six high schools in Tianqu first, so that junior high school children will no longer have to cross a single-plank bridge to go to high school."

Yang Jing drove the car and stopped at a red light. Because Bai Zhengqiang did not give any instructions, the police cars leading the way followed from a distance behind.

"Dad, let me first check out the situation in Tianqu. If the effect is good, the charity fund that Gege and I established will invest heavily in high school construction. We will first promote it in our province, and then gradually promote it nationwide. If the land is not counted, it will cost about 50 million to build a high school with 2,000 people. This amount of money is nothing for the charity fund that Gege and I set up. As long as the local government can provide land, we can build a high school for the local government for free. Of course, the high school will eventually belong to the local government."

"So how are you doing in Tianqu?" As a senior official, Bai Zhengqiang naturally attaches great importance to education. Education is related to the future of a country, so it is not too important to attach great importance to it.

"Secretary Yang and Mayor Chen have given great support to Gege and me. Mayor Chen found six plots of land for us. Each plot of land is over 100 mu in area, which is enough to build a high school. If these six plots of land are converted into commercial land, it can increase billions of revenue for the municipal government. However, Mayor Chen still generously approved the land!"

"Well, Xiao Chen, you did a great job! You Tianqu should first complete this pilot project. If it goes well, I will focus on promoting it throughout the province! No matter how poor we are, we must not neglect education. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."
