Lin Xun shook his head and said, "The relationship between the couple is really hard to understand. They seem to be in harmony but their hearts are far apart. Only Zhiming came alone."
When I heard the news, I felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
As the Spring Festival approached, I drove Liu Yun around to buy food for the festival. She praised me for my rapid improvement in driving skills despite having just obtained my driver's license.
A variety of ingredients such as chicken, duck, fish, bird's nest, sea cucumber, abalone wings, etc. are available. The whole restaurant is busy and immersed in a strong Spring Festival atmosphere.
On the 18th of February, the day before the big day, Yu Zhiming arrived as promised. What surprised us was that Yang Ruining, who had been reluctant to come, actually showed up.
I quickly said to the couple, "What a great honor to have you here, great guest! Welcome!"
This was the first time I met Yu Zhiming, and we exchanged a few polite greetings.
When it was Yang Ruining's turn, she said calmly, "Nice to meet you again. I came here because I care about my patients."
This explanation sounds rather far-fetched and somewhat confusing.
I carefully selected a king-size bed room with better facilities for the couple, but Yang Ruining said, "Let's change it to a twin bed room. Someone next to me can't sleep at night."
This request was really beyond my expectation, and I couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that this couple usually "assembled during wartime and disbanded after war"? But then I thought, after all, this is their private matter, and as an outsider, I don't want to explore too much.
So I arranged for them to stay in a spacious double-bed room, and the three of us sat down to chat.
Yu Zhiming spoke first: "I often hear people mention you and they all speak highly of you. I have wanted to meet you for a long time. I came too hastily last time, but this time I finally got my wish."
I humbly responded, "Don't listen to your sister's exaggerations. She always likes to say the best of people."
Yu Zhiming smiled and shook his head: "It's not just my sister who said that. Our husband also praised you for being loyal to your wife."
I turned to look at Yang Ruining. Her eyes were questioning, as if to confirm: "Am I wrong?"
At this time, I noticed that Yu Zhiming was over 1.8 meters tall, well-dressed and handsome. Compared with him, I couldn't help feeling a little ashamed of myself.
He is also a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush and directly focused the topic on the development project.
He said: "The last time I came, I had a preliminary exchange of cooperation intentions with County Governor Zhang, but at that time we only talked in general terms. I still hope to get further guidance from you on some specific details."
I smiled and replied, "It's not about guidance. I will tell you everything I know."
He nodded in satisfaction and continued to talk more deeply: "This piece of leather has been idle for a long time. Why has no one taken any interest in it? Could it be that the local developer has no interest in it at all?"
I explained: "There are two reasons. One is that many developers are reserved about the development prospects of this land, and the other is that their financial strength may not be enough to support the development of this project."
He then asked: "Why are you not optimistic about its prospects?"
I answered honestly: "If I'm worried that the house won't be sold after it's built."
Hearing this, he showed a worried look and asked, "If I take this project, how can I ensure that the house can be sold smoothly?"
After thinking for a moment, I gave my opinion: "Policy, supporting facilities, quality, brand, and expectations, these ten words can make the houses you develop in short supply."
After hearing this, his eyes gleamed and he said eagerly: "Guan Ren has made a great comment. I would like to hear the details."
I hesitated and said, "These are just my personal opinions, far from being profound. Regarding policy, I think tax reduction is important, but not the most important. The county should first formulate a clear new urban area plan, include government offices, schools, hospitals and other livelihood security facilities, and reserve enough space. In this way, even if the market sales are not as expected, the government can purchase some properties as resettlement housing or expert apartments to provide a bottom line. After all, the development of the development zone still depends on attracting and retaining talents to promote it."
He nodded in agreement.
I continued, "As for supporting facilities, they are an indispensable part. In addition to the education and medical facilities mentioned above, we should also vigorously develop commercial industries and cultivate a prosperous business district. This business district should cover clothing, catering, entertainment and other aspects, so that this area can really come alive and become popular, thereby attracting more popularity."
He smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
I responded, "Yes, but the core is still the quality of the house, which is a lifeline. The building materials and craftsmanship should be slightly advanced, and the safety performance must not be sloppy. The apartment design should be reasonable, taking into full consideration the lighting and ventilation. And supporting facilities such as green areas and garages should not be ignored. Although not many people own family cars now, it is foreseeable that cars will enter every household in the future. Another selling point is to strive to become the first community in the county to install elevators. And provide first-class property services. In short, our goal is to create a high-end community that is safe, convenient, comfortable, green and environmentally friendly with high-quality services."
He asked curiously, "Guan Ren, have you studied this field?"
I shook my head and smiled, "I actually studied mechanics."
After hearing this, he sincerely praised: "You are really knowledgeable and talented. Even I, who have been working in this industry for a long time, feel ashamed of myself."
I sighed and said, "Yes, the situation is always changing. In order to better serve the people and keep up with the pace of the times, we have to keep pace with the times, learn while doing, and constantly improve ourselves."
After listening to this, he nodded with deep agreement and said, "It seems that being an official is not something that everyone can do. One needs to keep learning and adapting to new challenges."
