611 Planning
“Alright.” Zhang Bo was silent for more than ten seconds before he nodded heavily.
Although he didn’t know why Chu Ning wanted so much money in one go, he knew that it couldn’t be for her own consumption. Since Chu Ning was taking away 100 million yuan, it meant that she could earn more than that within the next two months!
After getting Zhang Bo’s approval, Chu Ning stood up and said in a low voice, “Time is tight. I’ll be going now.”
“Alright,” Zhang Bo replied with a single word.
“I hope everything goes smoothly.” When Chu Ning walked to the door, Zhang Bo’s voice came from behind Chu Ning.
“I hope… Definitely,” Chu Ning thought to herself.
Half an hour later.
Chu Ning arrived at the center of M City.
Chu Ning looked at the inconspicuous wording at the government department entrance before her and could not help but murmur to herself, “City Planning Administrative Department.”
The reason she was there was naturally related to the important secret that Xu Xi had told her not long ago.
“Hello, may I know where Minister Niu’s office is?” Chu Ning asked with a smile as she looked at a man walking towards her.
On the way there, Chu Ning learned that the highest authority in the administrative department was surnamed Niu. Whether she could meet Minister Niu would determine whether she could achieve her goal.
“Young lady, why are you looking for Minister Niu? You know him?” The man who was walking towards her stared at Chu Ning in confusion. It was not because Chu Ning was beautiful, but because those who came to look for Minister Niu were very special. They were mostly developers.
“I’ll get to know him soon.” Chu Ning’s expression remained unchanged.
“Is that so? That’s a bit of a coincidence. Come back tomorrow. I’m already the last person to leave. It’s past six now. We get off work at half-past four in the afternoon,” the man also smiled and said with some regret.
After hearing the man’s words, Chu Ning did not pester him any further and replied politely, “Alright, thank you.”
“Minister Niu isn’t someone a young lady like you can meet as and when you wish.” The man looked at Chu Ning’s figure as she walked away and muttered. Then, he turned back and closed the door.
Under normal circumstances, the City Planning Administrative Department would indeed get off work at 4:30 pm sharp.
However, that day’s situation was a little special. To be precise, in the next week, the entire administrative department would have to work overtime and hold meetings.
Chu Ning did not leave.
She wouldn’t leave before she got what she wanted.
She was currently sitting in a noodle shop. She took out her phone and opened her contact list. She found the contact details of her form teacher, Lin Hao, and skillfully applied for leave.
As for the specific days, Chu Ning didn’t say it clearly.
It could be a day, or even till just before the exams.
She planned to stay nearby for the night.
Chu Ning was patient. Or rather, the news that Xu Xi told her was too shocking. It made her heart throb.
In an office of the City Planning Administrative Department, the doors and windows were tightly shut. After the dark and thick curtains were drawn, the meeting room seemed to be a world of its own.
The man looked at Minister Niu, who was sitting at the front of the meeting room, and said respectfully, “Minister Niu, a young lady came to see you just now.”
“Hmph, these developers really act unscrupulously in order to snatch the project.” A cold-looking man sitting on the left side of Minister Niu snorted and said disdainfully.
“The world has changed. Do you still think it’s 10 or 20 years ago? Some things are hot to the touch.” The person sitting to the right of Minister Niu licked his lips and said regretfully.
His words also attracted the attention of the more than a dozen people in the conference room. Although everyone had different expressions, they did not express their opinions in the end. They only looked at Minister Niu, who was silently sitting at the head of the table.
“Alright. Let’s not discuss this for now.” Minister Niu spoke, and in front of him, a projector projected onto a screen.
A map of a certain area in M City.
“The city intends to merge and ban high schools with low academic performance and establish a supreme high school that will be rather influential in Province A.” Minister Niu paused for a moment and said word by word.
“So this is the chosen location?” asked the person sitting on Minister Niu’s left.
“Yes. In the future, a high-speed rail station and a bus terminal will be built here. The road will also be rebuilt, and the quality of the road will be in accordance with the national road standards,” Minister Niu said slowly.
Silence.
As soon as Minister Niu finished speaking, the entire meeting room became quiet.
“The second city center.” Similar thoughts appeared in everyone’s minds.
