"I've already said this, this decision is not feasible."

"I couldn't agree more."

The members of the Standing Committee expressed their concerns one after another, and they all frowned as they looked at the meeting agenda in front of them.

The economic development of Saikun County does need new impetus, but the decision to introduce a golf course seems a bit too risky.

County Magistrate Zhou Zhiyuan's face was solemn. He looked at the crowd, took a deep breath, and said, "We can't ignore long-term interests for the sake of immediate gains. Introducing a golf course will not only impact our ecological environment, but will also exacerbate the gap between the rich and the poor, and impact people's outlook on life, values, and the world. We can't sacrifice long-term livelihoods for short-term gains."

The standing committee members nodded one after another; they understood County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan's concerns.

However, the decision has been made, how can we reverse it now?

"We have to find a way to have the best of both worlds."

Secretary Wen Dong looked at the crowd, his eyes filled with determination and resolve. "We need to find a way to develop the economy without causing too much impact on the environment, and while also taking care of the interests of the people."

The Standing Committee members fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a member of the Standing Committee spoke up, "We can encourage villagers to participate in the construction and operation of the golf course. This will not only utilize local resources, but also increase villagers' income and ensure that the impact on the environment is minimized."

Secretary Wen Dong's eyes lit up. This proposal seemed to provide them with a new idea.

He nodded and said, "That's a good idea. We can give it a try. At the same time, we must also strengthen the management and supervision of the golf course to ensure that it does not have too much impact on the environment."

After the meeting, Secretary Wen Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that this decision change would not happen overnight and would require time and effort.

However, as long as they work together, they will be able to find a way to develop the economy without causing too much impact on the environment and taking into account the interests of the people.

County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan returned to his office, furious, thinking that Secretary Wen Dong was too stubborn.

If a golf course is introduced in Saiyue Town under Saikun County, it will definitely impact the people's three views.

What's more, the golf course occupies a large area, which is bound to affect the ecological balance and groundwater protection.

County Magistrate Zhou Zhiyuan sat at his desk, his anger simmering. He sighed deeply, wondering how he could convince Secretary Wen Dong of the negative impact the introduction of a golf course would have on the ecology and livelihoods of Saiyue Township, Saikun County.

He picked up the phone and dialed Secretary Wen Dong's office. The ringing echoed in the long corridor and finally reached Secretary Wen Dong's ears.

"Hello, is this Secretary Wen?" Zhou Zhiyuan asked in a serious tone.

"It's County Magistrate Zhou. What's the matter? Do you need me for something?" Secretary Wen Dong's voice was a little puzzled.

"Secretary Wen, I think we need to talk again about the introduction of a golf course in Saiyue Town." Zhou Zhiyuan said straight to the point.

"Oh? Do you think there is any problem?" Secretary Wen Dong asked.

Zhou Zhiyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Secretary Wen, I think you may have overlooked some key issues. First, the golf course occupies too much land, which will affect the ecological balance and groundwater protection. Second, this will have a huge impact on our people and may cause some social problems."

Secretary Wen Dong was silent for a moment, then said, "County Mayor Zhou, I understand your concerns, but I believe the golf course is a great development opportunity. We need to attract foreign investment to drive economic development, while also enhancing the reputation of Saikun County."

Zhou Zhiyuan sighed deeply.

"Secretary Wen, you're right. These are all facts. But I can't ignore our people and the ecological environment. We must put people first and pursue sustainable development. We can't sacrifice long-term interests for the sake of short-term economic gains."

The discussion between the two men reached a deadlock.

Secretary Wen Dong insisted on his opinion that the golf course was a good opportunity;

Zhou Zhiyuan, however, insisted on his concerns, believing that this would have a negative impact on people's lives and the ecological environment.

Zhou Zhiyuan knew that persuading Secretary Wen Dong would not be done overnight.

He decided to take more practical action to influence him.

He began to actively look for evidence and cases to show Secretary Wen Dong the negative impact of golf courses on the environment and people's lives.

He found reports of a range of problems caused by golf courses in other areas, such as environmental damage, water pollution, and over-use of land.

These evidences and cases made Secretary Wen Dong begin to waver in his views.

On the other hand, Zhou Zhiyuan also began to look for possible alternatives to Saiyue Town.

He noted that Saiyue Town has a unique natural environment and can fully utilize these advantages to develop other types of tourism projects, such as nature reserves, outdoor sports fields, etc., which can also attract investment and tourists, and are more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

However, Secretary Wen Dong remained stubborn and insisted on introducing a golf course.

After all, Wen Dong represents the Wen family of Yuebei City. Moreover, Wen Mingli, chairman of Guangming Group, has been putting pressure on Secretary Wen Dong.

In fact, Secretary Wen Dong also understood the concerns of County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan.

However, in the face of interests, Secretary Wen Dong has lost his party spirit and principles.

Even though Secretary Wen Dong is the top leader of Saikun County, he cannot have the final say. After all, County Mayor Zhou Zhiyuan cannot be underestimated. He is tall and majestic in the eyes of leading cadres and the people of Saikun County.

What's more, the support from his wife Zheng Xiaoting and father-in-law Zheng Jianguo makes him full of confidence.

Wang Ping, the Party Secretary of Saiyue Town, deliberately conducted a public opinion survey, causing Secretary Wen Dong to become increasingly resentful towards Wang Ping.

However, Secretary Wen Dong had to leave Wang Ping's job for the sake of Zhao Qian, director of the county party committee office.

Secretary Wen Dong coughed and looked at Director Zhao Qian, who was tidying up his office. After hesitating for a while, he whispered, "Director Zhao, you have to do some ideological work on your husband, Wang Ping. Otherwise, some things will be difficult to handle!"

"Secretary Wen, I will teach him a lesson tonight." Zhao Qian smiled charmingly and said hurriedly.

Secretary Wen Dong nodded and wanted to touch Zhao Qian's beautiful buttocks, but felt it was inappropriate.

However, Wen Dong intends to push Director Zhao Qian step by step into the arms of Chairman Wenmingli, with the purpose of restraining each other.

Director Zhao Qian actually knew Secretary Wen Dong's thoughts very well, but in order to get promoted, she seemed to be willing to do it.
