In the difficult contest, Zhou Zhiyuan did not give up.

He knows very well that only by adhering to his beliefs can he truly consider the future of Saikun County.

So he decided to run for the position of county party secretary again through an open election.

He believed that this was an opportunity to prove his views and ideas to the Civilized Army, and also the best way to make more people understand and support him.

Zhou Zhiyuan's decision attracted widespread attention in Saikun County.

People began to re-examine the ideas and decisions of the two leaders, and more and more people began to support Zhou Zhiyuan.

However, the Civilized Army was not worried about this, as he believed that his influence was enough to suppress Zhou Zhiyuan.

However, reality is often more complicated than expected.

Just before Zhou Zhiyuan's public campaign, a sudden earthquake struck Saikun County.

The disaster brought huge losses to the county, but also made people pay more attention to public interests and the effectiveness of government decision-making.

Against this backdrop, more and more people are beginning to reflect on whether the Civilization Army’s decisions are truly in line with the long-term interests of Saikun County.

At this time, Zhou Zhiyuan seized this opportunity. Taking post-disaster reconstruction as the starting point, he put forward his own reconstruction plan.

This plan not only takes into account current needs, but also looks to future development.

His ideas were supported by the general public, and his support rate gradually surpassed that of the civilized army.

Late at night in Saikun County, the office of County Party Secretary Wenmingjun was still brightly lit.

Zhou Zhiyuan sat by the window, his eyes deep, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking out the window quietly.

Outside the window is Saikun County shrouded in moonlight, with twinkling lights reflecting the prosperity and bustle of the city.

The moonlight also shrouded Saikun County in a minor "natural and man-made disaster"!

The power struggle between Zhou Zhiyuan and the Civilized Army has been going on for a long time.

As the county magistrate, he had serious disagreements with the county party secretary on key issues such as policy formulation, funding allocation, and personnel appointments and dismissals.

Every meeting and every decision seems like a confrontation. Both sides argue for their respective positions, but are unable to reach a consensus.

On this day, Zhou Zhiyuan once again received an official document from the Civilization Army, asking him to withdraw the environmental protection policy that had already been passed.

Zhou Zhiyuan is well aware that this policy is the result of his careful consideration for the future development of Saikun County. He firmly believes that only by protecting the environment can the future of Saikun County be brighter.

However, the Civilized Army firmly opposed this policy on the grounds that it would affect economic development.

Zhou Zhiyuan sat in the office, the teacup in his hand had already cooled down, but he couldn't calm down.

He recalled the day when he first arrived in Saikun County, where he saw green mountains and clear waters. But now the environment has to be sacrificed because of short-sighted economic development.

He was filled with helplessness and anger, but he knew that he couldn't let this happen.

So he decided to take action.

He began secretly collecting evidence, preparing to expose the short-sighted behavior of the Civilized Army at the next meeting.

He believed that truth would eventually defeat lies and that the people had sharp eyes.

The civilized army also felt the pressure.

He always thought that he had absolute power in this county, but with Zhou Zhiyuan's persistence and the support of public opinion, he began to doubt whether his decision was correct.

He understood that he could no longer blindly pursue short-term economic development while ignoring environmental protection.

So, he also began to change.

He invited Zhou Zhiyuan to discuss countermeasures together, trying to find a way to develop the economy without damaging the environment.

They began to communicate in depth, exchange ideas, and try to find a solution acceptable to both parties.

However, this is not an easy task.

The contradictions and conflicts between them still exist, and every communication is like a battle.

However, they also understand that only through dialogue and consultation can a real solution be found.

In the process, they also gradually understood each other's positions and concerns.

Zhou Zhiyuan understood Wenmingjun's concerns about economic development, and Wenmingjun also understood Zhou Zhiyuan's determination to protect the environment.

They began to try to compromise and make concessions, trying to find a solution that both sides could accept.

In the end, they reached a compromise: part of the funds would be used to implement environmental protection policies, and part would be used for economic development.

This plan not only meets the needs of economic development but also protects the environment.

It was late at night, and Zhou Zhiyuan looked at Saikun County outside the window, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He knew he had successfully broken the deadlock in the power struggle and opened up a new path for the future of Sekhun County.

Wenmingjun also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had taken a short-sighted step and brought new hope to the future of Saikun County.

However, for Secretary Wenmingjun, he is basically a "puppet" of the Wen family and Guangming Group Chairman Wenmingli, because he values ​​family interests too much.

County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan received strong support and assistance from Zhou Zhibiao, chairman of Zhou Dynasty Group, and even unconditional support.

Both are capital operations, however, Zhou Dynasty Group represents conscience, while Guangming Group represents "capital invasion"!

As you can imagine, three days later, Wenmingjun, the county party secretary of Saikun County, was taken away by the joint investigation team of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Some are happy while others are sad. There is a strong call for Zhou Zhiyuan to take the position of County Magistrate. However, things often go against one's wishes.

The Wen family and Guangming Group Chairman Wen Mingli and others took the initiative to transfer Wen Dong back to Saikun County to serve as the county party secretary. Although it was a lateral transfer, Wen Dong was ambitious.

Because Chairman Wenmingli told Wendong that Saikun County is very likely to be abolished and established as a district, or the county party secretary will be promoted to member of the municipal party committee standing committee.

Due to the suddenness of the incident and the swift action of the Wen family and Guangming Group Chairman Wen Mingli, Yuebei City Party Secretary Bao Ting, Mayor Gao Shanfeng, and Executive Vice Mayor Qin Mingyue were all caught off guard.

After all, there is great pressure from international capital, and they are ready to withdraw their investment at any time.

Even though the Zhou Dynasty Group already has a very great influence, unfortunately, the Zhou Dynasty Group alone is no match for international capital. If things go wrong, the Zhou Dynasty Group is very likely to be swallowed up by international capital.

That's why Zhou Zhibiao, chairman of Zhou Dynasty Group, feels more and more lonely!

County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan fully understands the situation of his brother, Chairman Zhou Zhibiao, as well as the helplessness of Secretary Bao Ting, Mayor Gao Shanfeng, and Executive Vice Mayor Qin Mingyue.

County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan understands better the concerns of his wife, Secretary Zheng Xiaoting, and his father-in-law, Zheng Jianguo, about the overall situation.

Zheng Xiaoting and Zheng Jianguo already have a big vision, that is, the vision and pattern of looking at the entire country and the people. County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan must learn from them to go further and further, become more courageous after setbacks, and get better and better!
