The environment in the old town was absolutely terrible. The secretary, following behind Di Xiu, regretted countless times that she hadn't bought a mask when she went out.
The person in front of her seemed to have lost their sense of smell, striding ahead and showing off their long legs, forcing her to jog to catch up. Her shiny, bright high heels accidentally stepped into a puddle, and she immediately felt the coldness on the instep, making her want to quit her job and turn around and leave immediately.
This day was incredibly exciting for the secretary. She was scared twice by a naughty child, almost twisted her ankle, nearly got splashed with water, and had her briefcase stolen once.
Those thugs at the alley entrance had probably been watching them for a while. They were speeding through the alley on their motorcycles, completely disregarding human life. She crashed into the wall, and before she could even scream, the mayor, dressed in a suit and wearing high-end leather shoes, caught up with her and kicked the rear wheel of the motorcycle. The two thugs on it immediately rolled around in pain, crying and groaning.
The two went door-to-door to investigate, but repeatedly ran into obstacles and few people cooperated. By the end of the day, the secretary looked utterly hopeless, feeling as if she had been pickled by the polluted air here. Finally, she could leave work, only to be told by her inhumane boss that she should go back and write a summary.
The secretary sat in front of the computer at night, gritting her teeth as she typed away, completely extinguishing any illusions she had about her boss.
After returning, 001 asked Di Xiu, "What was the point of you leaving today?"
Visiting people is clearly not a suitable activity for Di Xiu. He speaks very few times a day. Today, he started by asking two companies, but later his secretary took over asking the questions, and even then, it was fraught with difficulties.
Emperor Xiu replied succinctly: "The gap between the rich and the poor in this country is huge. I need to set a range and first bring up the people in this range."
"So you chose the old town?"
Since the beginning of the new century, J City, as a second-tier city, has gradually developed and utilized every inch of its land. The old city area is located in the south of the city and was the last area planned for development. However, due to the soaring demolition costs, demolition efforts scared away a group of developers, causing the project to be delayed and dragging down the nearby industries.
Far from the city center, with a terrible environment, dilapidated and crowded houses, this place has gradually become synonymous with slums. Nowadays, most of the people living here are either unable to move away or are outsiders who came here because of the cheap rent.
Developing this area directly would be difficult for Xia Hongfei with his wealth. The Xia family is rich, but only in this local area. Compared to Shanghai and the capital, it's far from enough. His idea is to first raise the average standard of living.
"Um."
Di Xiu responded but didn't continue, but 001 knew his plan just by looking at the rapidly growing document.
You couldn't come up with this plan without the determination of a generous spender.
After watching for a while, 001 was horrified to discover that Di Xiu's typing speed was so fast that he could see afterimages.
He sat on the back of his office chair, peering around and occasionally offering a suggestion or two.
As night deepened, 001 secretly glanced at the male and female protagonists while Di Xiu went to take a shower. The female protagonist was holding her phone and complaining to her best friend Yuan. As she spoke, she was overcome with sorrow and tears streamed down her face.
The male lead... the male lead is being harassed by a rich woman while singing in a bar.
001 felt that she had become quite human through her studies, but she still couldn't understand this type of forbearance.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Love is truly terrifying."
Di Xiu came out of the bathroom, drying his hair while looking at his phone. Hearing him sigh like that, he couldn't help but lift his eyelids and glance at him.
For the next week, he worked during the day and refined the plan at night. Only after he felt there were no obvious flaws did he release it at the meeting. Everyone was almost dumbfounded when they saw his budget and plan.
It took the secretary a while to find her voice: "Mayor, are you serious?"
“Hmm.” Di Xiu pointed to a few people and said, “You are in charge of this matter. I will personally fund the school. If there are any expenses, just contact my lawyer. If anyone else is willing to invest, let them come to me. I am currently applying for the remaining funds.”
Seeing that those who were spending money didn't seem to mind, the subordinates had no objections and immediately got to work.
The first step was to conduct a survey of all migrant workers in the city and a detailed investigation into their income and expenditure. Then, schools were built.
Yes, build a school.
For most migrant workers, their children's education is the real headache. They feel uneasy leaving their children in their hometowns where no one can take care of them, so bringing them to good schools in big cities is naturally the best option. However, this involves paying hefty tuition fees and various other miscellaneous expenses.
As for how the school should be built and where it should be built, Di Xiu didn't think much before deciding on the location.
When the south of the city was originally planned for development, a school was built here. However, after all the procedures were completed and the school was half-built, it was discovered that the area had been abandoned and the project was shelved.
Behind the school is a transportation hub, which will facilitate further economic development in the area.
With tangible benefits in hand, the people in the old city no longer resisted the investigation. Di Xiu specifically added a work experience item to the investigation. Those who had worked in decoration and construction and had no problems in the past were recruited into the construction team.
Having finalized a preliminary plan, Di Xiu turned his attention to the company left behind by the original owner's parents.
He had never been troubled by material possessions before, and of course he wasn't now either, but through his understanding of the world, he discovered that money was indeed a good thing.
Moreover, for the sake of the long-term plan, he needs a lot of money, and according to 001, the fewer people who share the merit, the sooner they can contact the main system.
It's worth noting once again that the Huo family is like an octopus, getting involved in every industry; to make money, you first have to ruin the Huo family.
