Her long hair draped over her shoulders, parted in a 30-70 split, exposing her bright forehead. Her face was lightly made up, and she wore a pair of large sunglasses, revealing only her beautiful eyebrows. Below the sunglasses, her straight nose, bright red lips, and snow-white sharp chin were exposed. She was very charming. She wore a moon-white silk miniskirt, which wrapped around her mature and enchanting figure vividly. Under the miniskirt, a pair of slender and beautiful calves were exposed. She wore a pair of thin, flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of yellow, pointy high heels, revealing her slender feet. This kind of makeup was really beautiful and sexy. It was extremely seductive.
Li Rui saw this and couldn't help but be tempted. However, when he thought that the boss wouldn't be coming, he couldn't help but laugh. She had dressed up so carefully for the banquet, but there was no one to admire her. Wasn't she putting on a show for the blind?
After Zhang Wei entered the private room, she took off her sunglasses and hooked them on her finger. She glanced around and saw that only Li Rui was in the room. She smiled and asked, "Who's that?"
Her relationship with Song Chaoyang was getting deeper day by day, so naturally, she became more casual. In the past, she used to call him "Brother Chaoyang" to refer to Song Chaoyang. Now, she simply used such intimate and ambiguous terms to refer to him. However, this wasn't overboard. It was also different from Guo Xiaohe's arrogance a long time ago.
Li Rui really wanted to tease Zhang Wei, but he was afraid that she would be unhappy if she knew the truth, so he said the truth directly, "The boss won't be coming tonight …"
Zhang Wei was slightly surprised and disappointed, but she didn't get angry. She raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything. She waddled over to him.
Li Rui waited until she was in front of him and whispered, "You should know that his wife has cancer. She just had surgery and is undergoing chemotherapy. He's not in the mood to come out and eat with you. Sister Xiaowei, please understand. Wait a few months for Teacher Sun's condition to stabilize before we talk about it."
Zhang Wei asked with concern, "Is his wife okay?"
Li Rui said, "The surgery removed the cancerous part and supplemented it with chemotherapy. It's temporarily under control. As for whether the cancer will metastasize and spread, no one can say for sure. However, with the elixir from the United States and the moxibustion and decoction from Chinese medicine, I feel that there should be no problem. "
Zhang Wei asked curiously, "Elixir from America? What kind of spirit medicine? "
Li Rui explained, "It's Song Shuji's classmate, the vice president of the Santa Fe Pharmaceutical Company's Shanghai branch in China. He found a special drug for breast cancer from the Santa Fe headquarters in the United States. It's not on the market yet, but it has a very high cure rate from clinical trials."
Zhang Wei slowly nodded, indicating that he understood. His eyes rolled back and forth in his beautiful eyes, but no one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he sighed and said, "Ai, his wife is sick, so his days are not easy. He must be under a lot of psychological pressure. I really want to comfort him, but if he doesn't come, then forget it."
Li Rui said, "Don't worry, I'll convey your thoughts to him later."
Zhang Wei smiled and pulled him to sit down. She said, "Since it's just the two of us, let's order two less dishes. We can't finish any more anyway. We haven't seen each other in a while, so let's stay a little longer tonight. "
The two of them discussed and ordered four dishes and a bottle of red wine. While waiting for the dishes, they talked about their recent lives and work.
As they talked, Zhang Wei suddenly thought of something. She raised her eyebrows and took the handbag on the seat next to her. She said, "I almost forgot about business! When I came back to the city, my brother asked me to ask Brother Zhaoyang for his opinion. Since Brother Zhaoyang isn't here, I'll show it to you first. You can show it to him later. "
When she said 'my brother', she was actually referring to her cousin-in-law, Fang Qingyun. However, she never called Fang Qingyun 'cousin-in-law', but 'brother', which was a lot more intimate.
Zhang Wei opened her handbag and took out an A4-sized proposal book. She turned around and handed it to Li Rui.
Li Rui took it and looked at it carefully. On the cover was a line of large boldface words: "Shuanghe County's Central City Development Plan". Below it were two small words: "Draft". At the bottom of the page were the production units of the plan: Shuanghe County Government Office, Shuanghe District Planning Office, Shuanghe County Construction Bureau, Shuanghe County Planning Bureau, etc.
Li Rui smiled. Was Fang Qingyun going to learn from his boss and do a lot of urban development? He flipped open the cover and looked at the specific content of the plan. He flipped through the pages one by one. If there were words on the pages, he would read ten lines at a glance. If there were pictures, he would mainly look at the pictures. Like this, he quickly skimmed through the pages and soon finished reading.
Zhang Wei saw a faint smile on his face, but he didn't seem very enthusiastic. She asked, "What do you think?"
Li Rui closed the proposal book and put it aside. He was going to take it with him when he left and show it to his boss the next day. He looked up at her and said, "Is this County Mayor Fang's plan?"
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Yes, this is the most important project my brother is going to do when he's in charge of Shuanghe County. He just came up with a draft of the proposal book, but he's not very confident. He asked me to bring it over for Brother Zhaoyang to see. He wants to hear his opinion and see if he'll support it. Brother, what do you think? "
From Li Rui's point of view, the proposal book's design was actually quite good. It made an epoch-making plan for the development of Shuanghe County's central city.
The proposal book proposed that the county's main city area should be developed in the west. Relying on the west's advantage of the plains, they should build modern city blocks. The specific plan was to extend Government Street three kilometers to the west. Relying on the already built Western Ring Road and Western Second Ring Road, they would build five important modern city blocks, including:
The political district, county and county government, as well as some of the units under their jurisdiction, would move to a new location outside of the Western Ring Road. They would play a leading role in building a new district and have a resource gathering effect.
The academic district would build (move) an elementary school, a middle school, a technical college, and a radio and television university branch in the academic district.
The entertainment district would be a large park. The park would include a fitness plaza and various leisure facilities. They would also build a large KTV, a movie theater, and other entertainment venues in the district.
The commercial district would build a large shopping center, a five-star hotel, and a large supermarket. They would also attract McDonald's and other Chinese and Western fast food restaurants to join them.
The residential district would be built around the aforementioned modern city blocks. Six high-standard residential districts and office buildings would be built.
This way, due to the concentration of the political district, the academic district, the entertainment district, and the commercial district, a large number of people would either migrate or move to the six newly built residential districts and the surrounding residential districts. The new immigrants and the population of the old city area would also support the surrounding academic districts, entertainment districts, and commercial districts through education, consumption, entertainment, and so on. This was equivalent to mutual benefits. In the end, they would achieve common development and prosperity.
If this plan could be implemented by Fang Qingyun, then in the near future, there would be a new Shuanghe County in the west of the old city area of Shuanghe County. This new district would be more fashionable, more prosperous, and more modern. It would also effectively drive the development of the old city area. Perhaps in the future, Shuanghe County would look like a city. It would not be like it was now, always mocked as a big village. With the increase of the city's population and the development of the social economy, perhaps Shuanghe County would be upgraded to a county-level city in the future. Of course, the premise was that Shuanghe County had to first get rid of the label of a national poor county!
Li Rui felt that Fang Qingyun was truly capable, thoughtful, and motivated. Otherwise, he would not have been able to come up with such a beautiful plan. Fang Qingyun definitely deserved to be the county head of Shuanghe County. If he were in Fang Qingyun's shoes and became the county head of Shuanghe County, with his intelligence and wisdom, he probably would not have been able to come up with such a grand plan. But … Fang Qingyun was too anxious. He was too eager to achieve political results. He did not consider the current situation of Shuanghe County at all.
Shuanghe County was still in the ranks of the national poor counties. Large-scale poverty alleviation work had just begun. Whether it was the meager financial income or the national, provincial, and municipal financial funds and poverty alleviation funds, most of them had to be used for poverty alleviation. In other words, the county did not have much money for construction. Even if they could take the old path of land finance and sell the land in the new western district to obtain land transfer fees, it would be a drop in the bucket. It would definitely not be enough to support the development of the new western district. Optimistically speaking, it would be good enough if they could build one of the five districts.
In addition, Shuanghe County's Jiupo Town had just experienced a flood last year. There was still a lot of post-disaster reconstruction work that had not been completed yet. All of these required funds. Even if Shuanghe County had some money, they had to prioritise this work. Moreover, Shuanghe County did not have any money. Last year's disaster relief and post-disaster resettlement had already strained Shuanghe County's finances.
As a result, Shuanghe County was like a poor man with ulcers. He did not have much money in his belt. Even if he had money, he had to prioritise treating his illness. However, this poor man still wanted to wear good clothes. How could this be possible?
Li Rui shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's a good plan, and the idea is amazing, but it didn't consider the actual situation. I think the county can't do it, and the city won't approve it either."
Zhang Wei frowned. "Let's not talk about whether our county can do it or not. Why won't the city approve it?"
Li Rui said, "Take the relocation project of the county government as an example. As far as I know, the relocation of government residences at the county level and above must be reported to the higher-ups and finally approved by the National Council before it can be carried out. However, with the current financial situation of Shuanghe County, they don't have the ability — or rather, the qualifications — to apply for relocation. The city will definitely not approve this. Think about it, other counties are all economically strong counties that are ranked in the top 50 or 100 in the country. Shuanghe County is a national poor county. Isn't it ridiculous that they want to join in the fun? "
Zhang Wei said casually, "With my brother's relationship with Brother Zhaoyang, can't this small problem be solved?"
