Chapter 660: Chapter 660 Ji Yang’s Status
After seeing off Zhou Yuan and the others, Ximu City had returned to its tranquility, yet there is never a quiet mont in the realm of officialdom, and Ji Yang’s credibility among officials and the masses was on the rise.
At first, nobody saw Ji Yang doing much and even thought he wasn’t up to the task. Under the influence of so, there was even a great deal of criticism.
However, what nobody had expected was that Ji Yang would ti and again redefine their perceptions of him.
The Entertainnt Film and Television City was developing by leaps and bounds each day. Online, content about it was being updated daily, with three projects, in particular, drawing people in.
Many went there to see for themselves, and even though the Entertainnt Film and Television City wasn’t finished yet, a huge number of fans gathered there every day, all hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrities.
Indeed, those young participants who had initially been little-known, even those who hadn’t been known at all before, now each had their own following and were being closely watched by a vast online audience.
The properties that were being built sold out quickly during presale, even at very high prices.
The entire developnt far exceeded everyone’s expectations; nobody had anticipated such an approach to developnt.
Of course, it was also clear that the investors were genuinely investing there. Various facilities within the Entertainnt Film and Television City were under construction, with so spots frequently appearing on the programs and now highly sought after.
While property sales within the city were not allowed, the surrounding areas saw their real estate being fervently speculated.
Ever since the Entertainnt Film and Television City had erged, recruitnt was ongoing day after day, providing many job positions and bringing prosperity to the entire area around the city governnt of Ximu City, a result far more tangible than what others had achieved.
Just as everyone thought that all Ji Yang did was set up this investnt quietly, Ji Yang secured another major investnt, worth nearly 20 billion, which was very similar to the previous one. However, this investnt was placed in Shisong County, the poorest county in the city, which was indeed astonishing.
Initially, as investnts were drawn to various counties, the counties were excited, considering their city leaders who provided assistance to be excellent. But now seeing that Shisong County, the poorest one, had received an investnt of 20 billion, they no longer felt content, and so began to view the city committee leaders assisting them in a new light.
Sigh.
Many were sighing, thinking that if Ji Yang had been in charge of their county, perhaps that investnt could have gone to them.
At that mont, people in the counties wished their own counties were the poorest in the city.
In fact, there was sothing else that left the people of Shisong County most frustrated.
Ever since learning about the ancient city renovation project, many people beca eager. If one could get their hands on so of the properties in the ancient city beforehand, wouldn’t that be a fortune made?
With this thought, everyone was naturally ready to act. But by the ti they started to take action, they found it was too late—the properties in that area had almost all been bought up.
Corruption!
Initially, everyone assud that information had been leaked in advance, and the opportunity had been exploited for profit. As a result, there were nurous reports, so of which even reached the provincial capital.
The provincial Discipline Inspection Commission imdiately ford a working group and entered Shisong County to investigate the situation.
Before they even began their investigation, representatives from Xingyuan Investnt had already co forward, voluntarily explaining that they had acquired properties in advance for the convenience of the investnt.
Upon understanding that this was the case, the investigators were sowhat taken aback, not having expected Xingyuan Investnt to have taken such a preemptive action.
If they said the company had acted improperly, they could not accuse them of violating any policies, for all property purchases had been individually negotiated, and market prices had been paid. To accuse them of wrongdoing would not hold up.
Thus, the Discipline Inspection Commission’s working group made their findings public.
It was only then that everyone truly understood that it was the investors who had been working on this all along and that it wasn’t a matter of corruption.
After the issue caused a stir for a while, it died down since all their properties had been sold. The owner of a significant number of these properties was none other than Xingyuan Investnt.
Watching the construction teams streaming into the ancient city, everyone ca to admire Ji Yang. After all, Ji Yang had not profited a penny from it, and using this affair to tarnish his reputation was impossible.
Without comparison, everyone seed much the sa, but once the people privately made comparisons, they realized that Ji Yang was the one who was seriously working and was also a person of integrity—a truly good official.
Comparing their earlier views of Ji Yang, influenced by motivated individuals, everyone realized that they had been misled.
Without anyone noticing, Ji Yang’s prestige among the officials and masses of Ximu City had quietly risen.
