N-M Chapter 41 He takes over, and the first person he'll deal with is you.
Chapter 41 He takes over, and the first person he'll deal with is you.
Xu Aiguo looked at Dawei seriously: "Isn't he trying to dig a hole for you with that highway thing?"
I just thought you couldn't possibly succeed.
Then you might as well just get this going.
Build the highway and let everyone see what you, Chen Dawei, are capable of.
It was a slap in the face to Chen Tiecai.
If you accomplish this, the people of Yuanshan County will all be grateful to you.
If this works out, your future will be much easier.
In Yuanshan County, and even in Meihua City, everyone will look up to you.
David looked bewildered and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
You really dare to dream big!
Do you not know the benefits of building highways?
That's a solid, unshakeable achievement.
"You're joking."
When County Chief Qiao was in office, he had already conducted an investigation.
It will cost more than six billion yuan to build this highway!
Last year, the total fiscal revenue of Meihua City was only a little over 10 billion yuan.
Is the city no longer an option?
Spending over six billion yuan to build highways?
Chen Tiecai and his group would never agree to that.
David could only manage a wry smile.
Xu Aiguo, on the other hand, remained calm.
"I know you are poor."
The city has no money, but the province doesn't have money either?
Even if the province doesn't have it, doesn't the central government have it?
If all else fails, how about we get that P thing you just mentioned?
David immediately chimed in: "PPP, public-private partnership."
"Yes, with some support from above and some investment from a consortium, we can scrape together the money and it'll be done."
Dawei excitedly rubbed his face, once again overwhelmed by power. He turned his head to one side, but his eyes remained fixed on Xu Aiguo.
"You mean you're planning to mobilize resources to build a highway for Yuanshan County?"
"Um."
"Cough cough!" David coughed excitedly, "That's great, that's something to do! You support me in having the guts to do it!"
Xu Aiguo smiled knowingly: "Once you take office, get this matter under control, have the county's transportation department submit the application, get approval from the province, and I'll handle the provincial work."
Dawei stood up solemnly, bowed deeply to Xu Aiguo, and said emotionally, "Minister Xu, on behalf of the 30 people of Yuanshan County, I thank you!"
Xu Aiguo laughed and gestured for Dawei to sit down and talk.
"We're all on the same side, why bother with all this formalities?"
The conversation suddenly shifted.
"Hey, what's your impression of that Ms. Ding who took you to the development zone last time?"
David, who was overjoyed, suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.
The thoughts of important people are truly complex and unfathomable.
One thing leads to another.
What is the purpose of mentioning his niece Ding Tingting at this time?
David was somewhat resentful, and it's possible that he was using the highway incident to bind himself and Tingting together.
However, for the sake of his future career and for the smooth construction of the highway, he chose to accept it all.
After all, Ding Tingting is indeed quite charming.
"Comrade Tingting is well-behaved, cute, lively, and youthful. I have a very good impression of her."
"I heard from Xiao Ding's mother that the child cried for quite a while after going home?"
"Oh, really?" David looked at the other person innocently.
Xu Aiguo chuckled and said, "This child grew up in a sweet environment and has never suffered any hardship since childhood."
She is indeed a little willful.
If she does anything wrong, please be more tolerant of her.
It's normal for young people to have minor conflicts.
The fact that you cried the first time we met shows that you hold a place in Xiao Ding's heart.
Xu Aiguo, being a skilled organizational worker, unknowingly escalated the affair between Ding Tingting and Chen Dawei to a deeper level.
The choice of words and phrases is very deliberate. Phrases like "be more tolerant," "a little willful," and "significant" clearly describe a couple having a fight.
David was completely unprepared and hadn't recovered yet.
With the important matter of the expressway in Yuanshan County on his mind, he could only agree with Xu Aiguo and nod repeatedly in agreement.
After chatting for a while, Xu Aiguo began his lunch break.
……
at this time.
Yuanshan County is 40 kilometers away from Meihua City.
Xie Liting and her family had just finished lunch. They sat around the coffee table in the living room, all with worried expressions on their faces.
David's ex-wife Xie Liting, his former brother-in-law Xie Xiaojun, his former father-in-law and mother-in-law were all present.
The news that Dawei is going to become the county head has been publicized for the past few days and has already spread throughout the county.
The county television station was not a core institution and was not at the center of power in the county, so Xie Liting found out about it a little later.
Actually, her boyfriend Zhou Dongliang already knew.
The day after Zhou Dongliang went to Guangzhou to buy a car and met Dawei, he learned about the news as soon as he returned to Yuanshan County—his father, Zhou Xiangzhang, told him.
Zhou Dongliang couldn't accept this reality, so he didn't dare tell Xie Liting, fearing that Xie Liting would change her mind and go back to fawning over Chen Dawei.
The undecided position of TV station director and the already confirmed position of county magistrate's wife are both very tempting.
However, the latter has certainty.
Zhou Dongliang was afraid that Xie Liting would change her mind.
"Didn't you already have an engagement ceremony?"
Is there any way to back out now?
"We've already given her the villa and the car. If she goes back on her word, how can she face anyone?"
Zhou Dongliang's mother comforted him.
Zhou Xiangzhang chimed in, "That's right."
Leave her out for two days and observe her.
If Xie Liting is such a fickle person, then it's better to break up with her as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you'll regret it later.
"The day I lose power, she'll dare to treat our whole family badly."
Frustrated, Zhou Dongliang left a message and locked himself in his gaming room at home, not going out for several days.
He said he would marry no one but Xie Liting.
The Xie family only learned that Dawei was going to become the county magistrate of Yuanshan County from Xie Liting's colleagues at the TV station.
Several colleagues were chatting in the printing room.
"Have you heard? Liting's husband is going to be the county magistrate!"
"What husband? He's just an ex-husband."
"Yes, yes, ex-husband."
"Some people are going to be heartbroken. They've lost the big picture for a small gain. Zhou Dongliang doesn't even have a proper job, while Chen Dawei became the county magistrate at only thirty years old."
"Yeah, I don't know what she was thinking. Chen Dawei's achievements and status will definitely surpass Zhou Xiangzhang's in the future. Giving up Chen Dawei and marrying into the Zhou family, I really don't understand her decision."
"Sigh, it's all because the Zhou family is rich. They just bought a villa and got a new car. Everyone pursues different things. Some people only care about money."
……
Hearing these discussions, Xie Liting hurriedly went online to check, and sure enough, Chen Dawei's appointment had entered the public announcement period.
Today, Dawei is coming to Yuanshan County to report for duty.
Xie Liting and her family were extremely uneasy.
Xiao Meilin, Dawei's former mother-in-law, was the first to break the silence.
I know Chen Dawei.
He has a very deep mind.
If he takes power, our family will never have a good life.
We must do something.
Upon hearing this, her husband frowned and said, "You should stop doing this. If you hadn't insisted on cutting ties with Chen Dawei, none of this would have happened."
Xie Xiaojun chimed in with a sneer, "Exactly, Mom, look at all the mess you've made! You've completely offended my brother-in-law. What are we going to do now?"
Xiao Meilin slapped him on the head: "Shut up, you're the most useless one."
Someone gave you a used car, and you showed it off in front of Chen Dawei, even threatening to attack him.
"The first person he'll deal with after he takes over is you."
When Xie Xiaojun's father saw his son being beaten, he was about to speak again, but Xiao Meilin glared at the old man fiercely.
"You shut up too."
There are two men in the family, and they can't handle anything.
"Big or small matters, we two women have to rely on each other."
Both Xie Xiaojun and Old Xie lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Xie Liting crossed her arms and let out a long sigh: "What could possibly happen?"
We can't just kick us all out of Yuanshan County, can we?
He's a county magistrate, not an emperor.
We'll continue with our lives as usual.
People have to take responsibility for their choices, so just stick to them.
Xiao Meilin looked at Xie Liting helplessly: "Child, have you considered remarrying Dawei?"
The whole family turned to look at Xiao Meilin.
Xie Liting had thought about it, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Wouldn't that be shameless?
"Mom!" Xie Liting was on the verge of tears.
Xiao Meilin quickly grabbed Xie Liting's hand and gently persuaded her, "Don't rush."
Listen to me.
We are prepared for both possibilities.
I'll go and contact Chen Dawei's family to see if there's any room for negotiation.
You should also maintain contact with Zhou Dongliang, but don't let him realize you're having second thoughts.
What she meant was that she wanted to please both sides.
If Chen Dawei can change his mind and reconcile, then Xie Liting should kick Zhou Dongliang out.
If Chen Dawei is determined, then he should marry Zhou Dongliang and live a good life with him.
