Yang Chen linked her arm and after a moment of contemplation, said, "It seems like you're not sitting in the right position."
"Then where do you want me to sit?"
Yang Chen moved his left leg and patted his thigh, "I still prefer you sitting on my lap and talking to me. Even now, I still dream of you sitting on my lap, playing with your hair. It's really charming!"
"Yang Chen!" Xia Qi stood up again with anger, "Don't push it too far, Yang Chen!"
"Going too far in deceiving others?" Yang Chen found it amusing. "Back then, how did you and Zhao Na bully me, plot against me, and force me to sign the divorce agreement? Have you forgotten? If we're talking about going too far in deceiving others, how can I compare to you guys?"
"Moreover, who you are is clear to everyone. To achieve your goals, what's the point of pretending to be noble in front of me?"
"You bastard!" Xia Qi reached out to slap Yang Chen.
Yang Chen grabbed Xia Qi's wrist and pushed her to the ground.
Yang Chen tidied up his clothes and stood up, "If it weren't for the fact that you're a woman, I would have slapped you a few times today. As for the land in Nancheng, you can stop daydreaming about it."
Yang Chen finished speaking and walked away.
"Yang Chen, I killed you!" Xia Qi hysterically roared in the private room.
Xia Qi sobbed as she called Zhao Na, " Zhao Na, I was humiliated by Yang Chen, and he said he would never let me have that piece of land in the south city. Can you help me get the land? I offended him all because of you."
"Yang Chen He's just a villain who has succeeded. Don't worry, even if it's not for you, I won't let him succeed."
Weekend has arrived in the blink of an eye, and Director Chang has already rented a house, which is not far from the County Party Committee and County Government courtyard, only a ten-minute walk away. Tai Man has a three-bedroom apartment, while Yang Chen has a two-bedroom apartment, both with an area of over 80 square meters. They do not live on the same floor, with Tai Man residing on the eighth floor and Yang Chen on the ninth.
Yang Chen originally wanted to help Tai Man tidy up the house, but was rejected by Tai Man as if he were a thief.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Tai Man found Yang Chen and urged, "Don't turn off your phone. Make sure I can find you the first time. If I call you, come find me immediately."
"Where should I find you?"
Tai Man hesitated and said, "Palace Bar."
Uh...
At first, the first time the two met was at the Palace Bar, and it was that encounter that led to a passionate night. Yang Chen had just wanted to ask again when Tai Man had already left.
"As the county mayor, I often have to go to the night market. What a sight!" mumbled Yang Chen as he returned to his room.
He kept staring at the phone, but Tai Man didn't call.
The two-day weekend passed quickly, and Tai Man also got a basic understanding of Hualin's situation, officially starting to focus on actual work.
When he came back after the meeting, Tai Man looked unwell.
Yang Chen had other matters to attend to and could not accompany Tai Man to the meeting, so he did not know why Tai Man was angry. "County Chief Tai, they made things difficult for you at the meeting."
"Not exactly difficult, but the Planning and Development Bureau, along with the Land Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau, proposed that we expedite the land approval process for Haori Meat Company."
Yang Chen suddenly realized that Xia Qi was probably feeling disadvantaged by him, so she started to make efforts elsewhere. "Then you should kick the matter back to the secretary. The secretary must also know who is behind this, and will definitely have to bear the blame in the future, which is why the matter was passed on to you."
"I have consulted with secretary and secretary said that this is the first project I am in charge of at Hualin, and no matter what decision I make, secretary will fully support me."
It must be said that Wang Hongen is indeed a cunning old fox. With his words, Tai Man found it impossible to shake off this hot potato, as it was the first important task he was responsible for.
Yang Chen also frowned, "Leader, if you sign off on this, then any negative consequences that arise will be your responsibility. However, you have been reluctant to push this project forward, which makes it difficult to explain to those below and could tarnish your reputation for hindering Hualin's development."
"Yes, I'm in a dilemma right now!" Tai Man said, "I originally wanted to use the environmental protection as an excuse to stall the project, but the environmental protection agency has approved it."
Yang Chen disdainfully said, "The environmental protection plan reported is definitely not a problem, but it's hard to say how it will be implemented. Once the project starts, it will be difficult to shut it down."
"Do you have any good ideas?" Tai Man was at a loss and could only turn to Yang Chen for help.
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "We can only delay for now. We have to wait until the hot summer, when the smell from the breeding base spreads to the urban area. By then, we can refuse to approve the land due to public complaints."
"But the rainy season will last at least another half month. How do I respond to them during this time?"
"If only we had something more urgent to deal with, we could use the excuse of handling immediate matters to delay dealing with the land allocation issue." Yang Chen racked his brains but couldn't think of any other pressing matters in county.
Tai Man's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "There is actually an urgent matter!"
"What matter?"
"Repair roads and bridges, repair the river channel!"
Yang Chen sighed, "Leader, you've been in Hualin for a week, you should be clear about the county's financial situation. We can't come up with the money, and the urban area won't approve such a large sum of money."
"Since the urban area approval can't be obtained, let the provincial authorities handle it. You can leave now."
Yang Chen walked out of the County Mayor's Office, turning back and muttering, "Provincial authorities? Do you think the provincial authorities are run by your family?"
But what Yang Chen never expected was that two days later, the Deputy Director of the Department of Water Resources arrived in Hualin County with water experts, along with the Director of the Transportation Department of the urban area.
The deputy department-level official's rank is higher than that of the County Party Secretary and the county mayor, and before their arrival, the county had received no information at all.
Wang Hongen, the secretary, and Tai Man, the county magistrate, as well as other main leaders of the county, all went out to greet them.
" Director Zhou, why didn't you give us a heads-up? I could have sent someone to pick you up," Wang Hongen greeted with a bow.
Zhou Zhensheng, the director, smiled and said, "I also decided to come to our Hualin temporarily. The rainy season is coming to an end, and many places in the province have experienced flooding, so the Department of Water Resources has sent several teams to inspect around. I know that Hualin is a flood-prone area every year, so I came to take a look."
"This should be County Chief Tai, right?" Zhou Zhensheng took the initiative to greet Tai Man, appearing more enthusiastic, " County Chief Tai is outstanding, and the future belongs to you young people."
"Director Zhou You're too kind, let's go to the conference room."
In the conference room, the director of the Water Resources Bureau reported the flood situation in Hualin to Zhou Zhensheng.
The report downplayed the impact of the rainy season in Hualin County as if it had not been affected much. The Director of the Water Resources Bureau paid no attention to the grim expression on Director Gao Yuan's face from the Department of Transportation, as they had already obtained some information before their arrival.
