After thinking for a moment, Cao Yajun finally voiced his concerns.
If we don't convince Lu Shuji, things won't go smoothly for him either.
“I had considered it before, but it is still necessary to build this road. As for the time, we can pave the road while it is being built, which will speed things up.”
There isn't really a better solution; quickly building roads is simply not an easy task.
Lu Shuji understood these issues, but he was afraid that some people would disagree.
He sighed and said, "Let's wait for the afternoon meeting and bring it up then."
There's nothing we can do but wait.
During the afternoon meeting, Xu Xiangyang was also called in by Director Liao. He had already decided to use Xu Xiangyang's plan, so he would be invited to attend this meeting.
Xu Xiangyang sat in the back row against the wall, while Cao Yajun and other assistants and secretaries also sat in this row.
The leaders sat around the table, each holding a document in their hand.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at Cao Yajun beside him, and seeing that he looked normal, he didn't look at him any further.
When Lu Qingshu saw Xu Xiangyang at the leader's table, she didn't give him a friendly look and rolled her eyes at him.
This time, Liao Shichang first talked about Xu Xiangyang's plan, and then he also talked about all the drawbacks.
The main content is still very good. At least they themselves have pointed out the drawbacks, and they are all minor drawbacks that don't have much impact.
So this time they first received project support, and the preliminary plan was approved.
Xu Xiangyang was quite happy, after all, it was his first time making a proposal, and it was not easy to get recognition from others.
Most importantly, he drew heavily on later materials, which made him very adept at it.
Next, Lu Shuji brought out his project and talked at length about it.
After he finished speaking, the others felt that the small hill really needed to be demolished, and that delaying it for a month was not impossible.
At this moment, Lu Qingshu stood up.
She said, "I disagree. As far as I know, this slope is a rocky hill, full of rocks, and it's not easy to destroy. If we're not prepared properly, there could be an accident."
"Furthermore, it's taking too long. Road construction is inherently a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. If it's delayed like this, what manpower, material resources, and financial resources will be needed?"
That makes sense.
That makes a lot of sense.
However, those who knew about Lu Shuji's relationship with Lu Qingshu felt a strange sense of schadenfreude.
After all, it's rare to see someone so blatantly undermine their father in front of outsiders.
Especially since the old man on the other side is a scribe.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the people opposite him and suddenly understood what was going on.
He had previously thought that Lu Qingshu was related to Lu Shuji, but he never expected them to be such close relatives.
Moreover, judging from Lu Shuji's proposal, it's clear that it's Cao Yajun's idea, which makes things interesting.
Wow.
The others were also staring intently at them, as if they were thinking, "Let's get this fight started!"
Unfortunately, Lu Shuji didn't give them a chance to watch the show.
"I will think about your problem carefully," he said, and then said nothing more.
Not only were the people confused, but even Lu Qingshu on the other side was stunned for a moment.
She thought Lu Shuji would say something to try and persuade him, but he didn't.
For a moment she didn't understand and was about to refute, but in this awkward situation, she simply went back to her original seat.
Everyone at this meeting was holding their breath, but what exactly was it? Everyone was holding back something.
Xu Xiangyang felt that people only felt it was a pity because they missed out on the excitement.
However, Lu Shuji clearly didn't want to embarrass himself in public.
That's quite a bold move. If those two had a heated debate today, the whole courtyard would probably have become quite lively.
Xu Xiangyang watched them all leave, then went back home as well.
Just as I reached the third floor, Cao Yajun, who had returned earlier, called out to me.
"Secretary Cao, what's the matter?" he asked.
Cao Yajun shook his head and said, "Want to come here for a drink?"
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the time; it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. He should be free by now. So, he nodded and followed.
The two men sat facing each other in chairs. On the table were peanuts and a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
These snacks are too hard.
Xu Xiangyang was a little disgusted. He had been eating all sorts of delicious food lately, so why would he look at peanuts?
But he didn't say anything. Judging from Cao Yajun's bad mood, he probably didn't want to go out for something good to eat.
The two didn't speak at first, but after drinking half a jin of baijiu, they started talking.
"Secretary Xu, do you think I shouldn't have taken the lead in repairing the road?" Cao Yajun managed to utter this one sentence after a long time.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at him, but saw not a trace of regret.
This shows that they didn't actually regret it at all.
He thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Cao, everyone has their own ambitions. It's normal that others don't understand your views. This is all part of the process of getting to know each other. We just need to work things out a few more times."
Xu Xiangyang's proposal was approved on the first try, mainly because it was flawless.
If the plan is well-developed and takes all aspects into consideration, then no one else has any reason to object.
Xu Xiangyang had been working on today's plan for several days, consulting countless documents.
It's not just a matter of data; postmodern insights are also very important.
You can't get anywhere by working in isolation; only by gaining more experience can you develop better insights.
Cao Yajun pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and said, "This small mound has been there for many years. It would be great if it could be moved. A three-meter-wide road is not enough for two cars to pass at the same time. Building a road is a simple matter, but building a 'good' road is really too difficult."
Road construction has always been a major undertaking, and without the support of the province, it would have been impossible to build roads at this critical juncture.
After all, other places are in complete chaos, and they're still planning projects here. Isn't that ridiculous?
Xu Xiangyang also guessed that the province's offer to support this project was probably just a way to divert attention.
This kept the provincial propaganda department busy, leaving them no time to look for other things.
Lu Qingshu works for the provincial propaganda department.
She was sent here to supervise the construction.
Is he equivalent to the embodiment of justice?
Of course. These are all just their own opinions.
Xu Xiangyang didn't give him any advice, he just drank some wine with Cao Yajun.
These things are already out in the open, and if Lu Shuji wants to do them well, then Lu Qingshu has no way to stop him.
After all, given their relationship, there's another reason: how could Lu Shuji possibly be manipulated by a junior?
Road construction is important, but it should never be a tool to threaten people!
This is a principle that those involved should understand.
Those who are just watching the spectacle are all laymen.
The real decision-making power still rests with Lu Shuji.
