"Second Fatty? Cousins, it seems Mayor Wang and this Wang Yongde have a good relationship?" Li Xiuyuan asked, looking at Wang Zhixing.
Wang Zhixing nodded upon hearing this: "Our relationship is alright."
“Mayor Wang, could you try to persuade him? His family lives within the demolition area of the second phase of the Meilin Village project, but he’s been gathering a group of people to resist the policy.” Li Xiuyuan had already fully seized the initiative.
Wang Zhixing also realized that the initiative between the two had shifted. Originally, Li Xiuyuan had come to him for help, but after he put on an act for a moment, the roles of offense and defense had immediately reversed.
"This...this, Mayor Li, I can't persuade him. He's just my cousin. He has his own life to live. He's a grown man. He won't listen to me anyway." Wang Zhixing spread his hands, no longer pretending. He didn't care about taking the initiative. He was just not going to agree.
“Mayor Wang, Wang Yongde is your cousin after all. He will definitely listen to you. You should still help persuade him to understand that the county’s promotion of the Coal Forest Village construction is for everyone’s benefit,” Li Xiuyuan continued to persuade him.
Wang Zhixing shook his head: "Mayor Li, there's nothing I can do to help with this."
Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment after hearing this, then sighed and stood up: "Alright, then I won't trouble Deputy Mayor Wang."
Li Xiuyuan stood up and left. Since Wang Zhixing didn't want to be polite, there was no need to give him any face.
He checked the location of Wang Yongde's house; it was in the northeast corner of the village. It would be better to demolish it, but if he didn't, it wouldn't affect the road layout of four horizontal and six vertical roads. So, he could just modify the planning map.
However, there's no need to rush this matter; we can wait until the public bidding process concludes before making any decisions.
Two days flew by, and it was the weekend.
On Saturday morning, Li Xiuyuan received a call from Wan Xinxin, who said she wanted to treat Li Xiuyuan and Xing Weitao to a meal to thank them, as the permits for her uncle and aunt's agritainment business had been completed.
Li Xiuyuan agreed. He had been waiting for this matter. He sent Zhang Yaozong to the provincial capital to collect Ma Tao's dark history. He didn't intend to bring up the past again and expose this matter, but he could use it to scare Ma Tao.
Even if he doesn't want Ma Tao's support, he should at least get Ma Tao to abstain, thus crippling Zhang Xingguo.
In preparation for the open bidding and selection process that will take place next Wednesday.
He wanted to win over the seven town party committee members as much as possible. Since Zheng Qian of Zhengda Construction still participated in the public bidding after being rejected by him, he must have some tricks up his sleeve.
He also needs to gain as much support as possible, or rather, weaken his opponent's strength.
Wan Xinxin waited at the restaurant entrance at 6:00 PM. Around 6:10 PM, Li Xiuyuan and Xing Weitao arrived at the restaurant one after the other. During the meal, Wan Xinxin repeatedly thanked Li Xiuyuan and Xing Weitao for their help.
The agritainment business permits that had been stuck with her uncle and aunt for over a year were all processed in less than half a month after their last meal together. This is a manifestation of power.
"Brother Li, let me toast you again. Thank you so much." Wan Xinxin held her wine glass and thanked Li Xiuyuan at the end of the meal. She knew that although it seemed that Xing Weitao had put in the effort, he had only agreed to help after Li Xiuyuan had given his consent.
