Approaching November in Nanzhou City, the weather was supposed to be clear and crisp, but at that time, Nanzhou City was still incomparably hot and dry. Perhaps due to the influence of global warming in recent years, Nanzhou City, a city located on the southern coast, had no clear dividing line between the four seasons of the year. Apart from summer and winter, which people could clearly distinguish, spring and autumn seemed to be almost impossible to feel. Throughout the year, besides the cold, there was only heat. It was rare for people to feel cool days, except for those half-cloudy days. People who lived in this city all year round felt the changes in the weather particularly deeply.
Located on Xingzhou Street, the second-busiest part of the city, Nanzhou City's Oriental Plaza, which took two years to build, held its opening ceremony today. This was a large-scale commercial complex invested and built by Nanzhou City's Four Leaf Clover Group. It was a one-stop shopping center that integrated shopping, leisure, entertainment, and dining. Apart from the commercial plaza, there were also planned boutique residential areas. The combination of a one-stop shopping center and a refined residential area made Oriental Plaza attract a lot of attention when it was first established. When it opened, the entire sales hall was packed to the brim. Today was the official opening day of Oriental Plaza. Many international and domestic well-known brands had already moved in, highlighting the commercial value of this place.
However, this wasn't what people paid attention to today's opening of Oriental Plaza. Instead, they paid attention to the provincial and municipal leaders who were present at the opening ceremony.
Amateurs enjoyed the show, while insiders knew the ropes. Anyone who knew a little about politics could vaguely see the background of the Four Leaf Clover Group, which invested in Oriental Plaza, among the leaders who appeared at the opening ceremony today. If it was just the presence of the municipal leaders, then that was one thing. After all, it could be seen as the municipal leaders' support for this 5 billion investment project. However, the appearance of the Provincial government's Deputy Secretary-General, Haiyang Chen, at today's opening ceremony was a little thought-provoking.
In the seating arrangement for the opening ceremony, Haiyang Chen's seat was next to Chen Xing. On the other side was the executive deputy mayor, Li Haocheng. Li Haocheng seemed to have a good relationship with Haiyang Chen. When Chen Xing was asked to speak on stage by the organizer, Li Haocheng and Haiyang Chen exchanged some words from time to time. It wasn't until Chen Xing sat back down that the two stopped talking.
The one who spoke on behalf of the Four Leaf Clover Group was the group's general manager, Zheng Jue. He had already met this woman who left a deep impression on Chen Xing at the tea party held by the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce a few days ago. Chen Xing had a rather good impression of her. He felt that such a woman should not appear in the business world but should be aloof and full of artistic aura in the art circle.
Having been in Nanzhou City for more than ten days, Chen Xing had a certain understanding of the situation in Nanzhou City. Even with his current position, he could not easily touch certain enterprises with deep backgrounds. Chen Xing kept this in mind. Although there were only a few enterprises in Nanzhou City that could make him, a deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the acting mayor, fearful, the Four Leaf Clover Group was one of them. At the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce's tea party, Chen Xing only had a slight impression of the company because of Zheng Jue, but now, Chen Xing was more interested in the company's background than Zheng Jue herself.
Currently, Chen Xing only vaguely knew that the Four Leaf Clover Group was somewhat related to the Executive Deputy Governor, Guan Zhenming. However, as to how deep the relationship was, Chen Xing, who had just arrived in Nanhai Province, didn't know. In order to truly familiarize himself with this, Chen Xing still needed to go further into the political circles of Nanhai City and even Nanhai Province. This was not an easy task for an outsider like him. It was evident from the fact that the Municipal Party Secretary, Ge Jianming, still hadn't been able to truly control Nanhai City.
The appearance of Haiyang Chen, the deputy secretary general of the Provincial government, at today's opening ceremony did not surprise Chen Xing too much. Haiyang Chen was responsible for Guan Zhenming's work in the province. His presence today only confirmed to Chen Xing that the Four Leaf Clover Group was indeed inextricably linked to Guan Zhenming. Of course, it was also possible that Haiyang Chen was personally related to the Four Leaf Clover Group, but according to Chen Xing's preliminary understanding of the Four Leaf Clover Group, the latter was relatively less likely.
Leaders have taken time out of their busy schedules to attend our opening ceremony. On behalf of the group, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all leaders. After the short opening ceremony, Zheng Jue expressed her gratitude to Chen Xing and the other provincial and municipal leaders present. The words that came out of her mouth had an indescribable sense of gentleness to them.
Chief Zheng's words were like an outsider. You are contributing to the construction of Nanzhou City. As local officials, we should express our support. Chen Xing smiled faintly and glanced at Haiyang Chen. This deputy secretary general's attitude towards Zheng Jue was very warm, enough to make people think deeply.
Although the area around Xingzhou Street was also considered to be within the planned area of the city center, compared to the other truly prosperous streets in the city center, Xingzhou Street's position was a bit awkward. In the future, with the commercial radiating effect of the Oriental Plaza, I believe it will play a key role in promoting the development of this area. Speaking of which, the Municipal Government should thank your group for contributing to the development of Nanzhou City.
Li Haocheng interjected with a smile. His attitude towards Zheng Jue was somewhat fearful. He wouldn't offend her, but he wouldn't overly curry favor with her either. This was because his own background was not in the same camp as the backer behind the Four Leaf Clover Group. However, the camp he was talking about was just a subdivision of the camp. No matter how divided it was, both sides were actually in the large camp of the local faction. It was only because some of the big shots in the local faction had different standpoints and each had their own mountain peaks that this situation was created. But no matter what, when facing the outside world, the cadres in the local faction would form a joint force to jointly protect the interests of the local faction. No matter how much internal strife there was, everyone's attitude towards the outside world remained the same.
Our group's current achievements are all thanks to the care and support of the government. The entire staff of the group engrave this in their hearts. Our aim has always been to establish a foothold in Nanzhou, to serve Nanzhou, and to strive to contribute our greatest strength to the construction of Nanzhou City. Zheng Jue chuckled. Although she was young and a woman, her speaking skills were not bad at all.
In the following time, the guests attending the opening ceremony were led by Zheng Jue to the interior of the newly built Oriental Plaza. This commercial complex built according to international first-class standards did not disappoint them. Although Nanzhou City was the provincial capital, such a large commercial complex was rare. It was an undeniable fact that Nanzhou City ranked first among the prefecture-level cities in Nanhai Province in terms of comprehensive economic strength, ahead of other prefecture-level cities in Nanhai Province. However, among the provincial capital cities of the developed coastal provinces, Nanzhou City was almost at the bottom. From this point of view, the economic strength of Nanzhou City and even the entire Nanhai Province was not strong. Compared to inland provinces and most of the central and western regions, Nanhai Province was not bad, but when compared with other developed provinces, the gap was immediately obvious.
At noon, the Four Leaf Clover Group hosted a banquet for leaders of all levels who attended today. Everyone also stayed to give face. The reason why Chen Xing came today was because he understood some of the background of the Four Leaf Clover Group. Otherwise, if he knew that Li Haocheng would come, Chen Xing would not have come.
When he returned to the office of the Municipal Government, it was already past one o 'clock. Chen Xing took a nap in the office for more than ten minutes, then threw himself into his busy work. During this time, his secretary Deng Qingming came in. His eyes were a little strange, but he did not say anything. Seeing that Chen Xing did not have any instructions, Deng Qingming also left.
In the general manager's office of the Jindu Hotel, Lu Xiaojing, who did not go home at noon, also did not get any good news. Tan Fang, who personally went to the Municipal Government in the morning, had already told her that Chen Xing could not arrange time to meet him. Lu Xiaojing naturally believed the news brought back by Tan Fang and did not think too much about it. She did not know that she wanted to make an appointment to meet with Chen Xing. This request could not be put in front of Chen Xing at all. Tan Fang called Zheng Guangfu in advance to disclose this matter. After Tan Fang arrived at the Municipal Government, the result could be imagined. She was simply ignored in the reception room of the Municipal Government for a while. Then, someone from the office came to tell her that she had reported it and asked her to come back. In fact, she did not.
Tan Fang was not surprised by the result. On the contrary, Lu Xiaojing was quite angry. Why didn't these officials die? All of them lived and took the taxpayers' money. Why couldn't any of them do something good? I thought that Mayor Chen was still young and at least had a little conscience. I didn't expect that he was the same as others. They were all jackals of the same lair.
All crows in the world are black. President Lu, I'm afraid that I can't count on Mayor Chen. Tan Fang lowered her head and did not dare to look at Lu Xiaojing's eyes. This small detail did not attract the attention of Lu Xiaojing, who was in a bad mood at this time.
What can we do now? Are we just waiting for the hotel to close and let Lin Hong's conspiracy succeed? Lu Xiaojing was so angry that her teeth itched. Even if I let the hotel close and let it rot in my hands, I will not sell it to him at a low price.
