Chapter 705: 705
In the small eting room of the county party committee, Yan Guozhen took the principal seat, with a crowd of leaders, big and small, in attendance.
Ji Yang naturally found himself seated among them.
Looking over at everyone, Yan Guozhen said with a stern expression, “When there was no developnt, everyone was thinking about how to achieve it. Now, things are good. Everyone knows about the situation in Shisong County. Suddenly, so many people have flooded in that the county is nearly bursting. The purpose of today’s eting is to discuss services and hospitality work.”
Zhou Yuan said, “This is a tough battle. No one expected such a big commotion here. Now all departnts are stretched thin. This relates to safety issues, to problems with eating, drinking, and the like. Furthermore, people continue to co from all places, even foreigners have already arrived. You all know the consequences if we don’t handle our work properly!”
Yan Guozhen turned to Ji Yang and said, “Mr. Ji Yang, you are the most familiar with the local situation. Please give us a full report so that everyone can be in the know.”
This was a direct bypass of Zhang Chaoping, assigning the reporting to Ji Yang instead.
Zhang Chaoping’s complexion changed slightly, but he knew he really couldn’t report on the matter. He wasn’t very clear about the entire situation in Shisong County, and until now, Zhang Chaoping was still bewildered by the massive transformation of the county.
If he had known Shisong County would beco such a focal point, he would have taken charge of this county first when tasks were being assigned.
At that ti, Zhang Chaoping had his own considerations. He knew well that Shisong County was a difficult place to develop and he himself was unlikely to make headway. Therefore, he used the excuse that Ji Yang was the mayor to saddle him with such a poor and backward county, simply to see Ji Yang make a fool of himself by failing to improve the county’s fortunes.
Initially, as Zhang Chaoping had expected, everyone was developing well and doing good work attracting business investnts. The only exception was the two areas under Ji Yang’s charge, which hadn’t shown any progress.
At that ti, Zhang Chaoping secretly rejoiced, thinking that under these circumstances, Ji Yang would not be able to challenge his position.
Before coming here, Zhang Chaoping had indeed heard so things about Ji Yang and had concluded that Ji Yang could threaten and shake his position. He certainly didn’t want to see Ji Yang climb faster than himself.
However, what he could never have anticipated was the discovery of an ancient cultivator’s cave in Shisong County.
Although ancient cultivation was a subject of mythology, it was sothing that everyone was curious about. Once the word got out, aided by the explosion of internet interest, the existence of such a place beca known both dostically and internationally.
At first, Zhang Chaoping was skeptical, thinking it was so sort of publicity stunt by Ji Yang, probably fabricated. But when they personally visited the ancient city and experienced the dense spiritual energy there, such thoughts disappeared.
Zhang Chaoping even felt a sense of clarity throughout his body, as if so discomfort had vanished.
Could it be that real cultivators existed?
While no one knew for sure, there was one thing that was already confird: Shisong County had beco incredibly popular. A multitude of tourists were arriving, and the place was set to develop rapidly.
What kind of luck did this Ji Yang have!
Looking over at Ji Yang, who had started reporting on the work, Zhang Chaoping felt a sense of powerlessness. Now, Yan Guozhen’s attitude towards Ji Yang was even more favorable than towards himself.
With a heavy heart, all Zhang Chaoping could do was take a big gulp of tea, the bitterness in his mouth growing even stronger.
