"What's going on!" Nangong Hongtu shook his head and sighed.

"My son is so disappointing. Instead of pursuing a good career, he indulges in affairs of state. Alas, every man has his own fate!" Wen Tai sighed.

Nangong Hongtu smiled wickedly and said, "Everything depends on human effort. You are also a member of the Wen family. Why don't you go to Yumu City to find Secretary Wen Yangyao?"

Wen Yangyao has become the secretary of the Yumu Municipal Party Committee. Although he is still at the bureau level and cannot be compared with Zheng Xiaoting's father Zheng Jianguo, who is at the vice-ministerial level, Yumu City is just what Wen Yangyao wants. Since the emperor is far away, he is the "local emperor" of Yumu City.

Wen Dong suddenly had an idea and said, "How about asking Chairman Wenmingli to find his father?"

Nangong Hongtu and Wen Tai looked at each other and decided to give it a try!

Of course, Wen Tai and Wen Dong, father and son, gave Nangong Hongtu a generous gift, and Nangong Hongtu did not refuse.

Nangong Hongtu wanted to treat Wen Tai to dinner and drinks, but Wen Tai politely declined and hurriedly took Wen Dong to Guangming Group in Yuebei City to find Chairman Wenmingli.

This time the gift was a jade pillow from Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, which Wen Tai seized in Weihe County and was also priceless.

Of course, the gifts Wen Dong prepared for Chairman Wenming Li were three gold ingots, two paintings and calligraphy by Tang Bohu, and a night pearl.

Chairman Wenmingli was not stupid and he immediately called in an expert group for appraisal.

The expert group was in disbelief. How could such a national treasure end up in the hands of Chairman Wenmingli?

After receiving the bribes, the experts slipped away.

Wenming Li readily agreed and went to Yumu City to find his father Wen Yangyao.

Three days later, Wenmingli returned to Guangming Group in disgrace.

Wen Yangyao did not give Wenmingli a good harvest and slapped him so hard that he was dizzy.

How could Wen Yangyao possibly ask for help from his daughter-in-law Zheng Xiaoting and County Magistrate Bao Ting?

Wen Yangyao felt cheapened because they were not on the same administrative level.

So Chairman Wenmingli took the benefits but did not do his job. Although Wendong and Wentai hold a grudge against him, they can't do anything about it. After all, they are just members of the Wen family.

Three days later, Secretary Zheng Xiaoting convened another Standing Committee meeting.

This time, the establishment of an industrial park in Saikun County was passed unanimously.

This was also something that the other Standing Committee members had not expected. After all, County Mayor Bao Ting actually voted by raising her hand.

The biggest beneficiary of the establishment of the industrial park in Saikun County is Zhou Zhiyuan.

The director of the Saikun County Industrial Park Management Committee is established at the deputy county-level administrative level. For the time being, the Standing Committee unanimously approved that Comrade Zhou Zhiyuan, director of the County Party Committee Office, will serve part-time.

Therefore, Zhou Zhiyuan will have to control the early planning and subsequent investment promotion of the Saikun County Industrial Park and contact Zheng Xiaoting and Bao Ting.

This made Wen Dong, Nangong Hongtu, Zhao Dongzhi, Zhao Donglai and others so angry that they almost vomited blood.

The industrial park was originally planned to be located in Saishang Town, but this was overturned by Zhou Zhiyuan because the Party Secretary of Saishang Town was Lan Lijun and the mayor was Wen Hui.

County Magistrate Bao Ting wanted to place the industrial park in Sainan Town. However, due to many considerations such as tourist attractions and environmental pollution, the industrial park could not be placed in Sainan Town.

Then the industrial park of Saikun County was located in Saiyue Town, which lies between Saikun County and Yuebei City.

The former Party Secretary and Mayor of Saiyue Town went to other towns and villages to serve as the top leaders.

Zhou Zhiyuan's right-hand man, Lan Meiyu, was transferred by Secretary Zheng Xiaoting to Saiyue Town to serve as the Party Secretary.

Another capable subordinate of Zhou Zhiyuan, Xiao Zhiguo, was promoted from the chairman of the Saiyue Town People's Congress to the mayor of Saiyue Town.

Lan Meiyu and Xiao Zhiguo knew very well that they benefited from Zhou Zhiyuan.

Although Lan Meiyu felt guilty towards Zhou Zhiyuan, after all, her uncle Lan Shanyi, the executive deputy county magistrate, and her father Lan Shanfeng had both wronged Zhou Zhiyuan, but this did not prevent Lan Meiyu from falling deeply in love with Zhou Zhiyuan.

What's more, Lan Meiyu's brother Lan Lijun married Zhou Zhiyuan's ex-wife Zhao Jing, but Lan Lijun was short-sighted and actually wanted to bully Zhou Zhiyuan.

Now, Secretary Zheng Xiaoting has made a comeback and suppressed a large number of Zhou Zhiyuan’s enemies.

County Magistrate Bao Ting has also been very kind to Zhou Zhiyuan. People with discerning eyes have realized that both Secretary Zheng Xiaoting and County Magistrate Bao Ting intend to make use of Zhou Zhiyuan.

Even if Secretary Zheng Xiaoting is promoted step by step, there is still Bao Ting!

The leader of the Saikun County Industrial Park Establishment Committee must be Secretary Zheng Xiaoting, and the deputy leaders are County Mayor Bao Ting, Nangong Hongtu, who is also the deputy secretary of the county party committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Zhou Zhiyuan, director of the Industrial Park Management Committee.

The team members are Lan Meiyu, Xiao Zhiguo and other leaders of relevant units.

They want to apply for a provincial-level industrial park. This was the advice given by Zhang Liwei, secretary of the Yuebei Municipal Party Committee, to Secretary Zheng Xiaoting and County Mayor Bao Ting at the expanded meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

Secretary Zheng Xiaoting and County Magistrate Bao Ting must adopt it, which will involve a lot more procedures and public relations.

Zhou Zhiyuan was busy preparing the application materials, and it was common for him to work overtime late at night to prepare the materials.

With one more title comes one more responsibility!

Zhou Zhiyuan is already treated as a deputy county-level official. Although there is still a gap between him and deputy county-level leaders such as the deputy county magistrate, Zhou Zhiyuan still holds the position of director of the county party committee office part-time. Moreover, he is a popular figure around Secretary Zheng and maintains a good relationship with County Magistrate Bao Ting.

This is something that anyone with a discerning eye would envy, hate, and envy!

After looking through the various budgets, my God, not only Zhou Zhiyuan was dumbfounded, but also Secretary Zheng and County Magistrate Bao Ting. Why did it require so much upfront investment?

It has exceeded 10 billion!

After the Standing Committee meeting, Zhou Zhiyuan had to work overtime to prepare materials and reduce the budget.

However, when Zhou Zhiyuan was extremely busy, Lan Shanyi, Wen Dong, Nangong Hongtu and others started to spread rumors and cause trouble.

It is said that the reason Zhou Zhiyuan budgeted 10 billion yuan was just to make a fortune and return to work in the city.

The reason was that Zhou Zhiyuan had long wanted to return to the city to reunite with his parents.

This made Zhou Zhiyuan so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of person is this?

The budget was finally lowered to 1 billion yuan, and everyone was speechless, because they knew very well what kind of industrial park could be built with 1 billion yuan of initial investment?

In the end, the Standing Committee voted to approve this plan with a budget of 1 billion yuan.

County Magistrate Bao Ting urged the Finance Bureau of Saikun County without hesitation to immediately provide 1 billion yuan to support Zhou Zhiyuan's work.

This was something that Secretary Zheng Xiaoting and Director Zhou Zhiyuan had never thought of. They always thought that County Magistrate Bao Ting would have to be more or less embarrassed, otherwise, how could she vent her anger?

However, Bao Ting has been acting out of character since she had a long talk with Zhou Zhiyuan and called her father Bao Jiahui.

Only a fool would not support Secretary Zheng Xiaoting in establishing an industrial park in Saikun County.

Besides, no matter what Bao Ting said, she was only the deputy secretary of the county party committee and concurrently the county magistrate, and was still one step away from being the county party secretary.

For some people, their career paths come to an abrupt end just by this one step.
