Chen Xing didn't know why Han Weiwei invited him, but she was the president of the Municipal Chamber of Commerce. It was normal for her to treat him to a meal, even if it was a normal banquet.
Since he couldn't refuse, he could only agree. Chen Xing turned to Yu Zhiyuan and said, "Yu, please tell Director Han that I will be there tomorrow night."
After that, Chen Xing and his entourage left the Municipal Government. Jiang Dongyun, the Deputy Mayor, who was in charge of science, education, culture and public health, sports, radio and television, accompanied Chen Xing to the Sports Center for inspection.
Jiang Dongyun was the second last among the six deputy mayors in the city. She was also the only female deputy mayor in the city. Chen Xing's impression of Jiang Dongyun was that of a big sister next door. The smile on her face always gave people the feeling of being kind and gentle, like a spring breeze.
The Olympic Sports Center was one of the key projects in the city. Jiang Dongyun, the Deputy Mayor, also attached great importance to it. From the establishment of the project to the completion of the construction, Jiang Dongyun paid close attention to the whole process. She visited the construction site many times to check on the progress of the project and visit the workers. Jiang Dongyun also accompanied Chen Xing last time.
Walking in the Sports Center, which was basically completed, Chen Xing couldn't help smiling when he saw that the construction progress was faster than he had expected. He said to Jiang Dongyun with a smile, "It seems that there will be no problem to finish the construction on time.
Mr. Zhang promised me that he could finish the construction three days earlier than the time set by the city. Now it seems that there will be no problem. " Jiang Dongyun looked at the man next to her, who was the chief person in charge of the construction.
"The city regards the University Games as a key project. If we fail to deliver the stadium on time because of our problems, we will be the sinners in the history of Jiang City." The man smiled.
"It's a good thing that the stadium can be delivered earlier than expected. This will give us more time to prepare. This time, the University Games will be held in Jiang City. We must not only do a good job, but we must also do a good job." Chen Xing smiled.
The group talked as they walked inside, and finally walked to the green court of the sports center. Looking up from the court, they could see the blue sky above their heads. The design of the entire sports center used 'waves' as the main element, giving the light and beautiful shape of the waves to the architectural design, creating a lively sports space.
Although the Olympic Sports Center was the previous project, Chen Xing was very satisfied with it. He wanted to build Jiang City into a city with strong cultural brands. Sports were not only a supplement to the cultural industry, but also included it in the broad scope of the cultural industry. Jiang City indeed needed such a sports center that could serve as a landmark.
A football came out of nowhere and was casually placed on the grass. Chen Xing first stepped on the grass and then looked at the football eagerly.
Is Mayor Chen also interested in football? Should I give it a try? Seeing Chen Xing's expression, Jiang Dongyun smiled.
Let's give it a try. I don't know how many years I haven't touched a ball. A smile appeared on Chen Xing's face. He took a step forward and kicked the ball with great force. The ball drew a perfect arc in the air before landing not far away.
After all, Chen Xing was not a professional football player. His leg strength was limited, and his shooting range was naturally not far. However, his posture when playing football was passable. This was also because Chen Xing had played football for a period of time in college, so he was not a stranger to football.
Chen Xing kicked the ball. Naturally, there were many praises around him. The accompanying staff all praised his beautiful kick, which was not inferior to that of a football player at all.
Hearing these generous praises, Chen Xing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This group of people flattered him so much that they had no moral integrity. With his level, how could he be comparable to a football player? He even blushed when he heard this.
Although the people around him praised him, Jiang Dongyun, who didn't speak much, thought of something when she saw Chen Xing play football. Her eyes lit up slightly.
Soon, the group of people continued to walk forward. Jiang Dongyun asked casually. It seemed that Mayor Chen used to play football often.
I didn't play football often, but I played with my classmates for a while when I was in school. Didn't you see that my level was so bad? Chen Xing smiled.
His level was secondary. Participation was the most important thing. Jiang Dongyun smiled and suddenly changed the topic. As a coastal province, Jianghai Province not only did the whole province not have a professional football team, but also a professional basketball team. Whether it was the Chinese Super League, the Chinese First Division, or the Chinese Second Division, there was no sign of Jianghai Province's team. As for basketball, there was no sign of Jianghai Province's team in the CBA court. This was a pity, and it was not in line with Jianghai Province's identity as a coastal province.
Well, what do you think, Deputy Mayor Jiang? Chen Xing heard the hidden meaning in Jiang Dongyun's words and asked.
I think our Jiang City, as the provincial capital, should take the lead and strive to set up a professional club. Whether it is basketball or football, as long as we can do it, at least we can make a good start. Jiang Dongyun spoke out her thoughts, which was also a wish of hers.
In the past two years, Jiang Dongyun had worked hard for this, but unfortunately, whether it was basketball or football, professional clubs needed a lot of investment, and to set up a professional club, there must be enterprises to take over. But in the city, whether it was Secretary Fu or the former Mayor Geng Jingyi, when they were in office, they were not interested in sports. Jiang Dongyun proposed to set up a professional club, but neither of them was interested, which led to the lack of a professional sports club in Jiang City. Although she was the Deputy Mayor, it was not easy to implement this kind of thing without a leader to promote it.
Jiang Dongyun saw that Chen Xing was lost in thought, and thought that her words had moved Chen Xing, so she hurriedly continued. Mayor Chen, sports and culture complement each other, and at the same time, they are also a strong supplement to culture. The development of the cultural industry cannot be separated from the support of the sports industry, and a professional club is obvious to promote the development of the local sports industry, and even has a great role in promoting the city's brand and image. I think the huge promotion of the city's brand image brought by Evergrande is obvious to all. Many Asians know Yangcheng because of football, because of Evergrande. Evergrande has played an indispensable role in promoting the reputation of Yangcheng throughout Asia.
This time, the University Games will be held in Jiang City to promote the city's brand with the help of this national competition, which is essentially the same idea as making the city prosper through sports.
Jiang Dongyun said a lot in one breath, and her last words moved Chen Xing. He had focused all his attention on the cultural industry, and hoped to use the development of the cultural industry to become the new economic growth pole of Jiang City, to build Jiang City into a new technological and cultural city, and to realize the real economic recovery of Jiang City. But Jiang Dongyun's words opened up another pole of Chen Xing's thinking. Isn't sports also a category of culture?
At this moment, Chen Xing had to admit that a person's thinking was limited. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. Jiang Dongyun expanded his thinking, and also made him aware of his original limitations.
