The fact that Guangda Construction was undertaking a project in Meilin Village would definitely have an impact on Wang Qidong. However, Wang Qidong knew that when Guangda Construction won the bid, this matter would affect him regardless of his own wishes.

But he couldn't possibly let Chen Guangda back out of his promise, give up his deposit, and stop working on Meilin Village because of this. Not to mention, it would be impossible to explain that.

Chen Guangda wouldn't agree, and if word got out, people would think he was afraid of Deputy Director Chang. Besides, Deputy Director Chang wouldn't appreciate it.

It will also offend Li Xiuyuan. Offending Li Xiuyuan is not a big deal, but the key is that it will offend Yun Yanchang, which may make things more difficult to handle.

Now that things have already started to have an impact, it's better to do a favor and help Chen Guangda meet with Li Xiuyuan, have a chat, and accept this favor. Otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate for me not to even show my face.

When others talk about it, they all know that their relative was infected, but it's not true that you pretend you don't know anything.

Just like Chen Guangda now, who won the bid not on his own merits but through the strength of his company, yet still had to ask me for help.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guangda immediately became excited: "Thank you, brother-in-law, thank you, brother-in-law. With your words, I feel at ease."

"No need to be polite, it's only right that I come to sit down. However, I'm not familiar with Li Xiuyuan, and our Organization Department and the central town don't have a superior-subordinate relationship, so I probably can't be of much help with the project." Wang Qidong also gave Chen Guangda a heads-up.

He figured he could repay the favor by sitting down and having a chat with Li Xiuyuan himself, and he didn't intend to get involved in anything else.

Chen Guangda nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, indicating that he understood.

The following Friday morning, Chen Guangda arrived at Meilin Village and met Li Xiuyuan.

"Mr. Chen, how are the preparations going? It's Friday today, and there's only one week left before we start work. You can't let me down then," Li Xiuyuan said to Chen Guangda with a smile.

Chen Guangda nodded repeatedly: "Mayor Li, rest assured, Guangda Construction has a wealth of experience in this field and will not let you down."

"Haha, that's good." Li Xiuyuan nodded, then asked, "By the way, what's the best way to handle those five households that weren't relocated? Based on your company's experience, is it to revise the planning map, or are there other solutions?"

“This…” Chen Guangda looked at Li Xiuyuan with some helplessness. This was hardly a multiple-choice question. If Li Xiuyuan was willing to modify the planning map, would he need to ask him?

“Mayor Li, based on our company’s experience, among those who are unwilling to relocate, as long as we deal with the ringleader, the others will be easier to handle. So the focus should be on Wang Yongde’s family,” Chen Guangda said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded with a satisfied smile upon hearing this: "Yes, Wang Yongde's family is indeed a headache for me. Relying on his relationship with Deputy Mayor Wang, he resists the demolition no matter what. I have tried to persuade him many times, but he is determined not to move and is not afraid of bringing bad influence to Deputy Mayor Wang. What I know is that Deputy Mayor Wang cannot control this cousin."

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Deputy Mayor Wang was instigating the boycott of a key county project. Don't you think so?
