Chapter 99

Chapter 1, Transfer

In July, the sun was scorching, and the taste of midsummer was already strong. In Daming City, the Statistics Bureau released the economic indicators for the first half of the year. The economic growth rate of Hongshui County, which led the pack, shocked the entire city. Hongshui County's economic growth rate even entered the top five among all counties and districts in the province, becoming the only one in Daming City to enter the top ten for the first time. The Hongshui County Party Committee received commendation from the Provincial Party Committee.

Due to the extensive promotional work done by the Hongshui County Government and the Nanshan Town Government on provincial media, the first Nanshan Pharmaceutical Trade Fair achieved remarkable results, with over a thousand participants and a transaction volume exceeding 100 million yuan!

The first phase of the Tianma Mountain Tourism Scenic Area construction proceeded smoothly, with the first phase investment of 100 million yuan from the Xiawan Group fully in place, and the scenic area was expected to open to the public by the end of the year.

Several key local state-owned enterprises in the county also showed signs of improvement, generally achieving a balance between income and expenditure without losses. Hongshui Textile was once again listed as a key economic enterprise in Hongshui County, and the high-end woolen brand "Fuxi" occupied more than 60% of the high-end woolen market in the province, beginning to support the Hongshui County fiscal budget.

With more financial resources, Hongshui County also planned various infrastructure constructions. Several important county and township roads were also added to the work agenda of the Hongshui County Government.

Since the Hongshui County Government had secured sales channels in several major developed cities in the province for the Nanhua plum farmers in Qianchi Town, the Nanhua plums sold well this year, significantly increasing the income of the farmers in Qianchi Town. The Qianchi Town Committee immediately issued a policy to appropriately expand the planting scale of Nanhua plums, and town officials were to personally go to the villages to guide the farmers in planting!

The only regret was that the Honghe Economic Development Zone, which the Hongshui County Government had been striving for, ultimately did not land in Hongshui County but was awarded to Jingyang District.

It was reported that the Secretary of the Jingyang District Committee, Zhao Nan, even used some connections in the province to pressure the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, and with Lin Pei's support, the Economic Development Zone finally landed in Jingyang District.

In fact, Yang Zixuan himself understood that for the unity and stability of the Municipal Party Committee and for further advancement in this year's reshuffle, Lin Pei could not support the Economic Development Zone landing in Hongshui County, as it would truly anger Tang Lu!

At this moment, a personnel adjustment began to unfold!

Hongshui County held a county-wide leaders' meeting, and Li Li, the Secretary of the Organization Department of the Daming Municipal Party Committee, attended and delivered an important speech. The Deputy Secretary of the Organization Department read out the decision of the Municipal Party Committee on the adjustment of the main leaders of Hongshui County. The Municipal Party Committee decided: Lin Ruoshui would serve as the Secretary of the Hongshui County Party Committee and be nominated as the candidate for the Director of the Hongshui County People's Congress Standing Committee. Yang Zixuan would no longer serve as the Deputy Secretary of the Hongshui County Party Committee and the County Governor. Yang Zixuan would be reassigned to another position!

...

"This transfer came very suddenly!" Lin Ruoshui sat in Yang Zixuan's room, helping him pack his luggage. "I heard from my uncle that the city originally planned to have you serve as the County Party Secretary for a while. After all, the economic growth in Hongshui County is very fast, and all aspects of work are beginning to take shape, making it a banner for Daming's economic development. They needed you to protect and guide it. Who knew..."

"I also heard from Mayor Xu that this adjustment was not the city's decision but was pushed by someone at the provincial level!" Yang Zixuan pointed at the ceiling and smiled.

Yang Zixuan was packing his underwear when he suddenly stuffed it into Lin Ruoshui's arms and grinned mischievously, "Ruoshui, now I'm handing over this banner of Hongshui County to you. You must do well and make it flourish!"

Lin Ruoshui didn't expect Yang Zixuan to play such a prank. She screamed and threw the blue underwear back at Yang Zixuan, her face turning red with anger, "What's wrong with you? You're almost a deputy department-level cadre, and you still do such indecent things."

"Intimacy is a natural human instinct. There are many things more enjoyable than painting eyebrows!" Yang Zixuan smiled with ill intent.

"When did we ever have such intimacy? I'm not your wife." Lin Ruoshui's face was flushed.

After saying that, she deliberately put on a stern face, crossed her slender waist, and her cute appearance made Yang Zixuan unable to resist cupping her face and kissing her hard.

"What are you doing?" Lin Ruoshui was not used to being so intimate with Yang Zixuan, so she pushed him away, resisting his kiss.

Her slight resistance only further aroused Yang Zixuan's desire. He began to touch her through her clothes, and his mouth started to suck on Lin Ruoshui's two rosy, shiny lips...

After a passionate kiss, Yang Zixuan finally let go. It wasn't that he didn't want to go further; after all, he had been in this world for seven or eight months without any physical intimacy, and for a man with normal physiological and psychological needs, his current state, while not as ascetic as a monk's, was close to it.

But even during the passionate kiss, Lin Ruoshui still firmly held his hand, preventing him from going further, indicating that she had not fully accepted him.

For Lin Ruoshui, Yang Zixuan was unwilling to force her into deeper intimacy without mutual affection.

Perhaps she had some affection for him, but it wasn't enough for her to willingly embrace him.

When Yang Zixuan let go, he could clearly sense a hint of relief from her.

Yang Zixuan smiled.

Interesting!

In Yang Zixuan's view, the process of slowly conquering such a beautiful woman was also a pleasant one, and the satisfaction should be no less than defeating an opponent in his career!

Lin Ruoshui's face was still flushed, and she dared not look into Yang Zixuan's eyes. She turned to help him pack his clothes and luggage and asked, "Your transfer must not be the city's decision. At least, it must be a provincial-level official who can make such a cross-city transfer. Has some bigwig in the province taken a liking to you?"

"A few months ago, I visited Vice Governor Chen Zhiwen's home with Mayor Xu." Yang Zixuan didn't want to hide anything from Lin Ruoshui. Unconsciously, he already considered Lin Ruoshui one of the most trustworthy people in this world, like Su Chen.

"No wonder!" Lin Ruoshui had previously held a leadership position in a provincial car company, so she was very familiar with the major forces in the provincial capital. "By aligning with the Daming faction, your future path will be much smoother!"

"Will you blame me?" Yang Zixuan stood by, watching Lin Ruoshui pack his things.

This was a warm scene, but Yang Zixuan's eyes were fixed on Lin Ruoshui's round, firm buttocks as she bent over to pack, which completely changed the atmosphere.

"What do you have to blame me for?" Lin Ruoshui lowered her head and didn't see the lustful look in Yang Zixuan's eyes.

"For not choosing your family and instead choosing the Daming faction."

Lin Ruoshui smiled, "What you choose is your decision. I will respect your choice!"

"Your words put my mind at ease. I was worried it might leave a knot in your heart."

"I don't care what you choose! As long as it's beneficial to you, I support you!" Lin Ruoshui said softly.

Yang Zixuan was moved and suddenly hugged Lin Ruoshui from behind, burying his head in her abundant hair, saying, "I'm going to Nanhu. You must come to see me often!"

"Of course, since you've handed over many of the Party Committee and Government's work to me, I can't take it all at once. I still need to ask you about some specific details," Lin Ruoshui patted Yang Zixuan's hand and said.

"Has the new County Governor been decided? Who will take over?"

"According to my uncle, it hasn't been decided yet. It's likely to be chosen from the Municipal Party Committee Office or the Municipal Government's Deputy Secretary-General."

...

In a private room at Wangjiang Hotel, another round of toasts and laughter was underway!

Today, a farewell banquet was being held for Yang Zixuan!

Yang Zixuan's close subordinates filled a table: An Zai, Bai Yuan, Lan Le, Su Ming, Song An...

Bai Yuan, who had previously been in charge of the tourism sector, which was considered a less important area, had been promoted to the Standing Committee and Deputy County Governor due to his outstanding work on the Tianma Mountain Tourism Scenic Area, replacing the former Fang Ling!

"Congratulations, County Governor, no, now we can't call you County Governor, we should call you Secretary," An Zai raised his glass, and the others followed suit.

Yang Zixuan's drinking capacity was not bad, but not exceptionally good. He drank a glass and smiled, "Old An, I really miss the days we fought side by side. Life in Nanhu won't be as comfortable."

"Secretary, Nanhu's economic strength is much better than Daming's. It's one of the top five economic cities in the province! You are now the Party Secretary and Director of the Nanhu Economic and Technological Development Zone, the economic engine of Nanhu City! How can it not be comfortable?" An Zai laughed and scolded, "Why don't you talk to Secretary Lin and see if she would rather be the County Party Secretary or the Party Secretary of the Economic and Technological Development Zone?"

Bai Yuan, unlike An Zai, didn't dare to be so casual. He just smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Party Secretary of the Nanhu Economic and Technological Development Zone is usually a high-ranking deputy department-level position. The previous Secretary, Jian Wenfeng, was also the Deputy Mayor and Party Secretary of the Development Zone! Secretary, this is a promotion!"

"This can also make up for the disappointment of the Economic Development Zone not landing in Hongshui County. Secretary has been leading the government in preparing for the Economic Development Zone!" Lan Le smiled.

"It's not that optimistic. The Nanhu Economic and Technological Development Zone is currently just a shell. There aren't many substantial enterprises, and it might be another mess. Everything will have to start from scratch!" Yang Zixuan sighed. "I'm planning to rest for a few days and then adapt to the new environment."

"You all should work well with Secretary Lin and seize the opportunities to boost Hongshui County's economy. I'm no longer the County Governor, so I won't go into the specifics," Yang Zixuan smiled.

An Zai, Lan Le, and Bai Yuan knew that Yang Zixuan and Lin Ruoshui were close, but they could only guess about the nature of their relationship.
