Chapter 37

PS: A new week, I'm asking for all kinds of support, brothers and sisters, the fortune is in your hands!

Zhao Zhiqiang finally managed to pull out his leg and coughed again.

"Secretary Gu, District Chief He, I have an idea."

Gu Meiyun lifted her beautiful and dignified face and smiled, "Please go on."

The smile on her face was quite relaxed.

But in her heart, she was quite pleased!

Kick me?

Hmph.

She had also noticed that there was a cloth under the table, so no one could see.

With these few kicks, her mood seemed to have released a bit of the frustration she had felt since meeting this boy at Li Desheng's house until now. You're so great, huh? But you still have to be kicked by me—dare not make a sound!

She felt secretly pleased.

Zhao Zhiqiang's face remained unchanged as he said seriously, "The city has approved the construction of an economic development zone. Why can't our village attract investment and develop on its own? Instead of merging villages and towns through policy and developer-funded demolition, why not let us take the lead in developing a new socialist economic construction village under the district's overall planning? Personally, I think our village is located at the intersection of the Binshen Expressway, high-speed rail, and national highway. We have mountains, rivers, land, and people. It would be best to give us, over four thousand people, more freedom to develop autonomously under the guidance of the district and township."

He Dacheng slapped his thigh, "That's great! Originally, the new district was designed this way, but Zhao Guangming proposed the land-for-investment plan, and the city asked us to combine it with the new rural area transformation, which led to the current mess of neither business nor government. Later, the big companies brought in by Zhao Guangming made it even more chaotic!" He then mentioned many existing practical problems.

His complaints won the villagers' favor, and they occasionally heard laughter. Most importantly, they sensed a glimmer of hope. Perhaps following Zhao Zhiqiang's suggestion, the village would really gain control? Wouldn't that be better?

He has been in the military and abroad, seen the world!

The issue returned to the starting point...

After a long discussion, no substantial problems were resolved. However, Gu Meiyun had a better understanding of the sit-in situation. Most people in Chang'an Village didn't know the real situation, which was a bit suspicious.

Gu Meiyun smiled and shook hands with the village and township officials one by one. The last one was Zhao Zhiqiang, who wasn't standing in the line.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, you have a lot of ideas! I heard that the new method for the election of the village chief in Chang'an Village was approved by the township party committee after the villagers agreed. I wish you success in gaining the recognition of the villagers and winning the election."

She then turned to Zhang Jike, Fu Jinghua, and others and smiled, "The same goes for you. You are all young comrades with energy, enthusiasm, and ideas. I wish you all success in the election and to contribute more to the construction of Chang'an Village. Keep it up!"

She said these words without any concealment, but the people present had different reactions.

She doesn't seem old, does she? Still a young comrade... Zhao Zhiqiang was speechless.

Zhang, Fu, Wu, Hu, and others, however, understood that Zhao Zhiqiang was given a special blessing, while they were grouped together... It seems the secretary?

These two must have a special relationship.

It seems the situation is not good; the higher-ups are supporting Zhiqiang.

I didn't expect Zhiqiang to have such a strong backing.

Good, good, young people are more energetic than the old ones.

Gu Meiyun's feeling of being ignored and overlooked suddenly disappeared.

She smiled happily.

After shaking hands with everyone, she firmly shook Zhao Zhiqiang's rough hand and said goodbye with a sincere and hopeful look.

She hadn't felt this good since leaving the old leader's courtyard.

This boy's mysterious identity and non-arrogant attitude had always made her feel a bit stifled.

Now she finally knew that he was a native of the village, had some ability, had been in the military, and was very capable. However, you are running for village chief...

Gu Meiyun thought of the cold, indifferent face in the car, the guy who even the secretary Li didn't care about at the old leader's house. She imagined what he would look like standing in her office after becoming the village chief. Which one would it be?

Whipping.

Suddenly, she thought of a scene she had seen a long time ago, a scene of someone raising a whip.

Her face turned red.

After quickly covering it up, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I won't see you off. Goodbye."

She opened the car door and got in.

However, she didn't know that the words "Comrade Xiao Zhao" and the special blessing made Zhang Jike's eyes turn green.

Wu Bing, however, was happy with his wisdom and for Zhao Zhiqiang. The district party secretary was clearly supporting Zhiqiang for the position of village chief, but he didn't know what the election conditions were.

However, he knew that many villagers looked up to Zhiqiang.

—Not flattering superiors, not hiding from subordinates, standing tall, walking straight, and spitting nails.

The clear-faced Jiang Han, with his short hair, watched the farewell scene thoughtfully.

After seeing off Gu, He, Li, and the district and street office officials, the village representatives dispersed. As for what Zhao Zhiqiang and Gu Meiyun said, they remembered more or less, but no one really cared. For the villagers, the most important thing was how much money they would get for the land and whether their interests were protected. Everything would be fine as long as that was taken care of.

Zhang Jike, who was four years older than Zhao Zhiqiang, was shocked today. His initial advantage in his mind was gone because he saw that the new district party secretary seemed to have a special relationship with Zhao Zhiqiang!

What if...

Although he was a bit discouraged, he didn't want to admit defeat. His somewhat effeminate face showed no expression, and he just nodded slightly to Zhao Zhiqiang before leaving.

Wu Bing, a few young men from Guomugou, and Zhao Zhiqiang walked back to the village along the mountain path.

"Zhiqiang, you don't understand the situation. You made a big statement at the meeting today," Wu Bing began to express his concerns.

"What's wrong?"

"Chang'an Village occupies the largest area in the new district, and the interests involved are the most complex, especially the two streets below. You proposed autonomous construction and self-repair plans, which will only create trouble for yourself! The focus of the conflict is on the government side. If we really follow your suggestion, the entire conflict will become our own conflict. If you are elected, it will be your conflict. At that time, you will face pressure from above and below, and it will be a lot of effort for little gain! Sigh, by saying this in front of Secretary Gu and others, you are just creating trouble for yourself!"

Wu Bing scratched his head after hearing Zhao Zhiqiang's words. He knew a lot about this issue. The government would be happy to let the villagers handle it themselves; they would only need to supervise and inspect, and even the investment would be significantly reduced.

Zhao Zhiqiang's real goal, of course, was to control the hot spring in Guomugou that could produce spiritual energy.

This was the reason he wanted control. If the development was led by others, the village would be at the mercy of the government and developers, and he might lose the spiritual spring. He would have to eat several times the amount of food and take Chinese medicine every day, which was the last thing he wanted to do.

If the village took the lead in controlling the construction, he could completely take over the half-built resort, firmly grasp it, and enjoy a comfortable life by soaking in the spring and earning money.

Therefore, since he decided to participate in this competition, he had to fight according to his own will and achieve his goal. Taking back control of Chang'an Village's construction was inevitable.
