Two days later, Le Jianjun requested to convene a team meeting, stating there was another significant investment to discuss.
After the team members sat down, Le Jianjun turned to Xun Liqiang and said, "Secretary Xun, I believe that as long as we work hard, we can do our jobs well and achieve results easily. Just so, right after I brought in the investment to build a cement plant, another enterprise has sought me out."
He then looked at Ji Yang and continued, "Chief Ji, you are the leader of the government. We are working hard, and you should be leading the charge."
Xun Liqiang glanced at Ji Yang.
Xun Liqiang was extremely dissatisfied with Le Jianjun in his heart, repeatedly targeting himself, and now it seemed Le Jianjun was starting to target Ji Yang. This young man really didn’t know his own limits; perhaps it was time to join forces with Ji Yang.
At this moment, Ji Yang of course understood the situation. Qian Huifang and her group had already approached Le Jianjun, and swiftly, many agreements had been reached. Le Jianjun had promised them various policy supports.
Ji Yang naturally glanced at Xun Liqiang. In this matter, he didn’t believe that Xun Liqiang had no opinion of Le Jianjun. As long as he had any plans, Le Jianjun wouldn’t stand to gain any advantage.
Now, Ji Yang naturally wouldn’t sabotage the situation; the matters agreed with Qian Huifang and her team were already settled.
"Comrade Jianjun really has a knack for attracting investment. I admire that in this regard," Ji Yang said, without any intention of contesting, even complimenting Le Jianjun.
Hearing Ji Yang speak in such a manner, Le Jianjun actually felt a bit smug.
Ji Yang then asked, "Comrade Jianjun, you’ve asked to convene this meeting today. May I inquire what the matter is?"
Le Jianjun said, "Comrades, what I want to say is that a real estate company wants to come here to invest. Actually, I am somewhat surprised by this. I remember that Chief Ji Yang is from the same village as the company’s president, right? They were doing very well in Qingyuan Village previously, so why did they not go to Chief Ji this time but came to me instead?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ nοvelfire.net
Ji Yang said, "Are you talking about Qian Huifang?"
"Yes," Le Jianjun looked at Ji Yang.
Ji Yang sighed and said, "Perhaps Deputy Chief Le isn’t aware of what happened. When that company was in Qingyuan Village, it was in contact with the then secretary, and the whole matter was handled entirely by that secretary. As a result, that secretary later ran into trouble. After the incident, there was some turmoil in the village, and ultimately the development of the property was transferred to someone else’s hands. Regarding this matter, we owe President Qian a great deal. I’m too ashamed to face her, no wonder she turned to Deputy Chief Le. This shows she lacks trust in us, the senior leaders!"
Le Jianjun, in fact, had already looked into this situation. He then said, "That’s why, in any work we do, we must always consider the interests of the people first. When there is harm to the public interest, we lose their support."
Ji Yang replied, "Indeed, although it has nothing to do with me directly, after all, I was one of the leaders there at the time. It is understandable for them to have concerns. Deputy Chief Le, you’ll need to take extra care with President Qian and her group in this matter."
"Even if you didn’t mention it, I would do it," Le Jianjun replied. "One of the purposes of today’s meeting is to discuss offering the other party as many preferential treatments as possible."
Ji Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, President Qian is coming from Qingyuan Village. If I get involved, many issues could be unclear. I think I should not participate."
Xun Liqiang said, "There is no need for that. As long as we act with public interest in mind, there will be no issues."
Le Jianjun also said, "Exactly, there is no problem with that. We now need to discuss providing certain preferential policies to the other party. Let’s all discuss as much as possible."
Ji Yang was secretly pleased in his heart. Le Jianjun needed achievements; he might as well let him take the lead.
