Yang City, City Government Office.
"Director Cai, we really need your help with this. If you succeed, J County will be very grateful to you …"
Kim Byung-chiu, the Deputy County Commissioner of J County, who was leading the team to Yang City, was pleading with a bald, fair-skinned, bespectacled middle-aged man.
This man was Cai Yang, the Director of the City Government Office and the Mayor's confidant.
Kim Byung-chiu had studied with Director Cai at the Party School and they had a good relationship. This time, he had made Director Cai his main public relations partner.
"King County Commissioner, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't. Let me be honest with you, the list of candidates has basically been confirmed. Maybe it will be sent to the expert team soon."
Director Cai smiled bitterly.
He had no idea how many people had come to him recently.
Although he was the Mayor's confidant and held a high position, he had no decision-making power at this time.
The list of candidates was all decided by the City Standing Committee, unless you could get in touch with the members of the Standing Committee.
Even so, you still needed the approval of the other members of the Standing Committee. There were too many compromises and deals involved in the power struggle.
"How could this be?"
King County Commissioner was dejected.
He had gone to someone with a higher position before, but he couldn't even meet with them.
"Director Cai, may I ask, how many candidates are there?"
King County Commissioner was dejected.
"Eight. Five of them are required candidates and three are reserve candidates."
Director Cai thought for a moment and decided to tell him.
"So few?"
King County Commissioner was shocked.
Yang City was so big, but there were only eight candidates. Three of them were reserve candidates. This meant that it was normal that the expert team didn't go.
Previously, the expert team didn't have many reserve candidates before they were taken over by the team in Yang City.
After leaving the City Government building, Kim Byung-chiu called the county and explained the situation.
The county leaders were all extremely bitter.
However, they still asked the King County Commissioners to do everything they could to persevere and see if there was still a chance.
Kim Byung-chiu smiled bitterly. What hope was there now that even the candidates had been decided?
Right now, he couldn't even meet the main leaders of the city!
The only person they could find was Director Cai. Although his rank was high enough, it was useless.
What else could he do?
.....
At this moment, at the Golden Brilliance Hotel in Yang City.
This was a five-star hotel owned by the state. It was also one of the three five-star hotels in Yang City.
Originally, the hotel's purpose was to receive government guests.
Following the internal reform of the hotel, it had long been opened to the public. However, there were some special floors that were not open to the public. They were still for internal use.
This time, the team of experts was staying on the top floor of the Golden Hotel. It was the best suite.
In a meeting room.
Li Hu, the Executive Vice Mayor of Yang City, was handing over the name list to the experts.
Generally speaking, the experts would not say anything about the inspection route arranged by Yang City.
Whether it was in Xiang City or Tanshi, President Yang was arranged by the city. They just had to follow the arrangements.
Of course, they had their own requirements. They had already decided on the number of spots.
Five standing spots and three reserve spots.
The standing spots would definitely go. As for the reserve spots, it would depend on the mood and time.
Regarding this, the city government naturally did not say anything. There were already quite a number of spots.
After all, going to a place was not just a formality. They also needed to give pointers and hold a seminar. It would take at least half a day.
This way, the five standing spots would take two to three days. If they went to inspect the reserve spots, it would take even longer.
The reason why Xiang City was so angry at Huoyang City's behavior last time was because the experts had only stayed for less than three days.
"Regarding this list, Academician Yang, Professor He, Dr. James … Do you have any objections?"
Mayor Li Hu asked out of habit.
He knew that the experts usually did not change their planned itinerary.
The list of candidates was decided after a discussion at the executive meeting.
On the list, not only did it have the names of the candidates, but it also had a detailed introduction.
"Mayor Li, let's forget about this Xinhong Fertilizer Company."
Academician Yang looked at the list and suddenly said.
There was no spot for J County.
How could this be.
What was their goal? Wasn't it to find Ye Xiaochen?
Ye Xiaochen was in J County. If they didn't go to J County, how could they have the chance to see her?
Wasn't this an international joke?
Mayor Li Hu was slightly stunned and revealed a look of astonishment. The expert group wanted to change the list?
He was shocked. This Xinhong Fertilizer Company was a very powerful company in the city and a big taxpayer. Moreover, it had a very good relationship with one of the main leaders in the city and even had a place in the province.
Otherwise, how could Xinhong Fertilizer Company get a standing spot?
Now, from what Academician Yang said, they wanted to take away this spot.
He suddenly felt that these experts weren't so easy to fool!
He didn't know how much trouble it would cause if the list was changed.
"Well, Academician Yang, why don't we move Xinhong to the reserve list and pick one from the reserve list to the standing list?"
Li Hu thought about it and quickly said.
Even if it was put into the reserve list, it was better than taking it away.
"There's no need for that. Our team of experts has already made a decision. The last standing spot will be set in J County."
Academician Yang directly shook his head and said.
His tone was very firm.
Mayor Li Hu was dumbfounded.
J County?
Of course, he knew that J County had also sent a public relations team. However, no one took it to heart and directly ignored J County.
But now, the expert group had directly chosen J County.
Could it be that there was a powerful person in J County who directly contacted the expert group?
How was that possible? As far as he knew, the expert group had almost no contact with the outside world during this period.
He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Since the expert group had already decided, he couldn't object. After all, the expert group's inspection this time was for the public good.
"This J County is really lucky!"
Li Hu thought to himself.
He decided that this time, he would go back and do a thorough investigation.
He had a feeling that this matter was not so simple.
.....
After hitting a wall everywhere, King County Commissioners, after feeling hopeless, prepared to lead the public relations team back home.
Suddenly, he received a call from Director Cai.
"Old Jin, let me tell you a piece of great news."
Director Cai said in an extremely strange tone over the phone.
At this moment, he was very puzzled. How did J County manage to get through to the expert group without a word and get a necessary spot?
Even when the city had already confirmed the spot.
When Director Cai heard the news, he was stunned.
So he immediately contacted King County Commissioners, hoping to get some information from King County Commissioners.
But how would King County Commissioners know? He was completely stunned.
He couldn't react at all. His entire mind was blank.
'J County won the prize?'
'How is this possible? J County only has one team and they didn't send anyone else. Moreover, it's useless even if they sent more people.'
'Is Director Cai joking with me?'
'Impossible. With Director Cai's status, he wouldn't make something out of nothing.'
Thinking of this, his face finally lit up with joy and he quickly asked about the situation.
When Director Cai heard King County Commissioners' tone, he immediately understood that King County Commissioners probably didn't know about it either.
Immediately, he told King County Commissioners about the change in the expert group's quota, the cancellation of Xinhong Company's qualification, and the addition of J County.
Kim Byung-chiu was stunned. 'No way, the quota came so easily?'
After the two of them ended the call, King County Commissioners immediately called the county. Suddenly, the county was in an uproar.
Other than the expert group, no one else expected it.
'Why would J County win the prize? It's because … it's an unknown person.'
