Ma Yingjie stood still and did not dare to move. Fortunately, the convoy moved forward very quickly. Ma Yingjie still did not understand what was happening in front. As long as there were no incidents of people blocking the convoy, Ma Yingjie would be relieved.
Governor Lu Xinbo and his entourage first arrived at the Wu Du Hotel. After a short rest, they immediately held a work report meeting. The leaders of the Wu Du Hotel and the other ministries and departments were all seated in the meeting room. Because there were many leaders present, Ma Yingjie could not sit on the rostrum and was seated in the middle of the audience. When he raised his head, his eyes met with Governor Lu Xinbo's. Governor Lu Xinbo did not seem to recognize him. Their eyes met several times, but there were no sparks and he looked away in contempt. Ma Yingjie was a little sad. Which subordinate did not desire the ardent gaze of a leader, just like which man did not desire the passion of a woman? Although he did not have the slightest respect for Governor Lu Xinbo in his heart, on the contrary, he was a little hostile. But when their eyes met, Ma Yingjie still hoped that Governor Lu Xinbo would recognize him and give him a slight nod. What was cheap? This was how cheap people in the officialdom were. A leader's glance could make them the sun. A leader's saliva could make them the sea. A leader's handshake could make them reluctant to wash for three days.
Luo Tianyun represented the Municipal Party Committee to make a report to the inspection team. The report was written by two secretaries from the municipal government. After it was finished, it was discussed many times in meetings. It was even passed to the hands of Ma Yingjie and the others. Ma Yingjie made suggestions for revision word by word. Finally, it was submitted to the Standing Committee for review before it was finalized. Ma Yingjie could memorize it. So when Luo Tianyun made the report, he did not really listen and pretended to be focused. But in his heart, he was thinking about something else. Ma Yingjie noticed that almost all the people who came with Governor Lu Xinbo were his subordinates. Those who were close to Deputy Governor Huang did not come. Recently, there were rumors that Deputy Governor Huang might not be able to stay in office for long. The higher-ups were not happy, and the people below did not support him. As for his work, there was not much improvement. It was very likely that he would be transferred to Beijing to take up an idle position. If that was the case, Deputy Governor Huang's career would have come to an end. Ma Yingjie felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. As long as they heard similar news or rumors, they would always feel inexplicably sad and sympathize with them. It was like using someone else's mirror to look at themselves and see their own desolation from the ending of others. But what made Ma Yingjie puzzled was why the Wootz steel from the National Development and Reform Commission was here. He wasn't on the same side as Lu Xinbo, and Ma Yingjie was well aware of this fact. Wootz steel had a close relationship with the Provincial Committee Secretary, Zhu Tianyou, and it was Zhu Tianyou who had groomed Wootz steel. Furthermore, it wasn't long before he was placed in an important position. There was also the Secretary General of the Provincial Government, Peng Yiyuan. Why was he here? By right, after the fire incident, Lu Xinbo had been treating Peng Yiyuan coldly. Moreover, now that the governor had come down, he had to stay at home to look after the house. A butler was supposed to be a butler in the backyard. How could he possibly follow his leader around? The more Ma Yingjie looked at the situation, the more he felt that there was something amiss. Could it be that Peng Yiyuan's position was going to be changed? But that was hard to say. If Deputy Governor Huang were to leave, he would naturally be replaced by Peng Yiyuan. From this perspective, Lu Xinbo's future should be bright. Otherwise, Peng Yiyuan would not have taken such a risky move. The other possibility was that someone had planted a wedge in Lu Xinbo's army.
That should be the case! Ma Yingjie suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were laughable. Lu Xinbo was also laughable. All of them were laughable. After laughing to himself, he straightened his face and listened to the report.
After listening to the report, Lu Xinbo summarized a few points. He said that the provincial party committee and the provincial government had placed great importance on the development of Capital Wu. Capital Wu's economy had made great progress in recent years, and had contributed greatly to the prosperity of the province's economy. However, under the complicated economic situation, Capital Wu's economy was the first to encounter a bottleneck, and it had met with unprecedented development resistance. The City was very anxious. The Provincial Committee and Provincial Government were also very anxious. Wu Du's economy could not remain stagnant. It must break out of the encirclement! This time, Dong Xuebing's team was to invite all parties to take Wu Du's pulse. At this point, Lu Xinbo paused and swept his eyes across the venue. The venue was very quiet. No one dared to breathe. Everyone was waiting for Lu Xinbo to continue. Luo Tianyun and Li Huiling were even more nervous. They could hear Lu Xinbo's dissatisfaction with Wu Du. Although Lu Xinbo's tone was not very strict, there was still dissatisfaction in it. Li Huiling lowered her head and played with the pen in her hands mechanically. Her bangs fell down and covered half of her face. Luo Tianyun did not dare to lower her head. She forced herself to look straight ahead. But from the way she sat, she was already very uneasy. She was afraid that Lu Xinbo would give a harsh criticism to Wu Du. Fortunately, Lu Xinbo paused and changed the topic. "The development and construction of the new Capital Wu district is not done on a whim by anyone, nor is it a political achievement project. It is a necessity of the times, and also a result of the larger environment. With the help of the high-speed railway station, it injected vitality into Wu Du's economy. It created a new economic zone in Wu Du and connected it with the surrounding economic zones. It was a decision made by the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government with great foresight. It was a correct choice. It was of great historical significance. It was also a pioneering strategic move by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to recognize the city's situation and look at the overall economic environment. They seized the opportunity and faced the difficulties.
With these words, Luo Tianyun and Li Huiling's expressions were much more relaxed. Li Huiling raised her face again. Her face was flushed and looked very beautiful. Luo Tianyun's sitting posture was also much more relaxed. From time to time, he would look at Lu Xinbo and give him a respectful and enthusiastic smile.
After Lu Xinbo emphasized, the report ended. They had a simple working meal and rushed to the new district without stopping.
On this day, Lu Xinbo was not in a hurry to see Boss Ke's Ke Group. Although Boss Ke repeatedly asked to go to his place first, Lu Xinbo still told Luo Tianyun to look at a few more along the way. Luo Tianyun naturally knew what Lu Xinbo meant. He did not want everything to be too obvious. So he adjusted the plan slightly. He first visited two local companies, then a foreign company. These companies were all well prepared. Although they had just built a fence and sheds, the construction site was absolutely bustling. Excavators and bulldozers were next to each other. Just the mechanical equipment arranged on the construction site was enough to be spectacular. Lu Xinbo was in high spirits. He chatted with the builders enthusiastically and asked them many questions. He waved his hands vigorously and described the future of the new district to the builders.
An hour later, Lu Xinbo stood in front of Boss Ke's Ke Group's new district project site.
It was already 4: 30 in the afternoon. The setting sun shone from the west, illuminating the entire new district in a fiery red color. Because the area was vast and there were no tall buildings around, the sun shone especially far and the penetrating power was especially strong. More than 20 waitresses dressed in sexy cheongsams, revealing their smooth thighs and wearing belts, lined up in two rainbow-shaped lines. They all had smiles on their faces as they welcomed the Chief in the breeze. Boss Ke was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He was in high spirits as he followed closely beside Lu Xinbo. He bowed and introduced enthusiastically. Lu Xinbo looked a little cold. He looked past Boss Ke and a few of his assistants and looked at the waitresses.
Ma Yingjie wasn't among them. He wasn't qualified. He walked at the back with the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the vice chairman of the National People's Congress. Beside him were the leaders of the less dangerous departments in the province. Some joked, some echoed, some praised the weather in Wu Du, and some talked about the upcoming Wu Du West Station. Some even talked about the high-speed railway, saying that it was so fast that they didn't dare to take it.
When he walked into the construction site, Ma Yingjie was surprised to find that the scenery inside was beyond his imagination. A few days ago, Ma Yingjie had even passed by Boss Ke's construction site. Boss Ke didn't seem to be making any big movements and was quiet. Ma Yingjie thought that Boss Ke was going to change his mind, or that there was some friction between him and Young Master Lu. Now that he saw it, he realized that it wasn't the case at all. On the more than two hundred acres of construction site, factories were miraculously erected. It was like a fantasy story. In less than a week, the factories were erected. The empty area opposite was filled with containers like a dock's cargo yard. Those were the machinery and equipment that had just been transported. More than two hundred workers surrounded the containers, nervously and orderly operating the equipment. On the east side of the equipment, more than ten excavators were rumbling at work. The surroundings were all blocked with red lines, giving people the feeling that the construction site was a restricted area and no one was allowed to enter.
Ma Yingjie vaguely remembered that he had seen the project drawings. There didn't seem to be any tall buildings under construction, just a two-story workshop. But the foundation pit was already deeper than the two-story building. To the north of the foundation pit, which was the direction to Qiu Jiawan, was densely blocked by scaffolding, as if two buildings were being built at the same time. There were also many workers coming and going there. Looking to the west, the scene was even more spectacular. People, machinery, and colorful flags gathered together, forming a strange scene of a big battle. Not to mention a new project, even a project that had been in production for three to five years in Wu Du didn't have such a spectacular scene on this day.
Ma Yingjie couldn't help but be impressed. Boss Ke was Boss Ke. No one dared to compete with him in this. Others might not be able to tell that it was fake, but Ma Yingjie could tell at a glance. Those factories were all fake. Nearby, which was the place where Lu Xinbo and his team could reach, was a factory that was temporarily moved from other places. There were some equipment inside, but it would never start working. Because the project had just started, no one asked him to start working. In the distance, it was actually a temporary wall. It was just a wall. It looked like a beautiful factory, but it could only be used for filming. Of course, Boss Ke knew that Lu Xinbo would not move there. If Lu Xinbo didn't go, who would dare to go there?
