"Mr. Ji Yang, I still have to thank you."
Ji Yang didn’t know what was going on with Yan Guozhen, but he could sense that the other party seemed to have undergone some kind of change, treating him with much more warmth.
Everyone saw Yan Guozhen’s attitude, and for a moment, they were unable to react.
However, remembering that Ji Yang had saved Yan Guozhen’s life, everyone felt relieved, as Yan Guozhen’s life was ultimately what mattered most.
After expressing his gratitude for a while, Yan Guozhen looked to Zhou Yuan and said, "I probably won’t be able to attend the ceremony, so you go on my behalf. Mr. Ji Yang has taken the initiative under difficult circumstances and achieved great success in investment attraction. This is significant, and the provincial propaganda department is focusing on publicizing it."
At this point, turning to the head of the propaganda department, Jiang Yan, he said, "Comrade Jiang Yan, this is a major event for the whole province; the publicity efforts must be intensified."
Jiang Yan had also realized that this time, Yan Guozhen truly wanted to properly publicize Ji Yang.
Looking at Ji Yang, Jiang Yan thought to herself that Ji Yang indeed was lucky, seeming to have won Yan Guozhen’s favor.
With Zhou Yuan’s support, and now gaining Yan Guozhen’s support, Ji Yang was becoming a significant figure in the province.
Of course, everyone else saw this development as well, and their glances at Ji Yang became complex.
Hearing Yan Guozhen speak like that, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but smirk to himself. Yan Guozhen had only now discovered Ji Yang’s capabilities; even without his help, Ji Yang had a strong background and many supporters.
Initially, Zhou Yuan had thought about using Ji Yang to compete with Yan Guozhen, taking advantage of Yan Guozhen’s ignorance of Ji Yang’s strengths to make some moves. But seeing Yan Guozhen’s change of attitude, he could only silently lament Yan Guozhen’s luck.
Yan Guozhen did not attend the signing ceremony, but the event still went ahead, with Zhou Yuan representing him in a grand manner.
Qian Huifang and others represented three companies signing the project for the Entertainment Film and Television City with the city.
After the whole affair was concluded, Zhou Yuan called Ji Yang to his room.
"Ji, you performed well this time, setting a good start."
"Governor Zhou, I just happen to be familiar with them. You may not know, but they are all from Qingyuan Village. They’ve made some money there, and when they heard I was the mayor here, they came to invest. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t engage in any corrupt dealings involving money and power."
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "I trust you, no worries. I’ve heard your team has been assigned one of the toughest counties to manage. What preparations do you have for that place, or should I introduce some investors to you?"
Seeing Yan Guozhen’s shift, Zhou Yuan naturally wanted to up the stakes; he wouldn’t let Ji Yang slip away.
Ji Yang replied, "I’m preparing for that, and there will certainly be no issues. I can do the job well there." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ noᴠelfire.net
Zhou Yuan was startled, thinking to himself that Ji Yang indeed had a solid foundation and must have some strategies up his sleeve.
"Since you have your own plans, go ahead and do it. I trust you can get the work done here. Besides those two places, you should also shift your focus to the development of the entire city. You are the mayor; you need to be in charge of these tasks."
"I understand. I’ll use various industries to drive the economic growth of the whole city."
Zhou Yuan said, "It’s normal to have different voices in the team; you should try to unite the comrades to work together."
Zhou Yuan’s advice to Ji Yang was to make him aware of the benefits he could gain from his support.
Ji Yang, of course, understood Zhou Yuan’s intentions and quickly said, "I understand, please rest assured, Governor Zhou."
After chatting for a while longer, Ji Yang left the room.
Walking on the road, Ji Yang reflected on the events that transpired. At the time, he had just rushed out on a whim, but now it seemed his True Yuan was quite useful. Whenever True Yuan was stimulated, it allowed for great speed.
It seemed that the development of his True Yuan power still had room for improvement; he had never thought there would be such potential for development.
Previously he used it only to explore himself; now, it seemed, external applications were also available.
As he was thinking, he saw Zhang Chaoping and others approaching.
Looking at Zhang Chaoping, Ji Yang could tell from his solemn expression that he might have been reprimanded by Yan Guozhen.
While Ji Yang was aware of the tricks Zhang Chaoping played, he didn’t take any action. With today’s events, it would be quite difficult for Zhang Chaoping to lodge any complaints against him with Yan Guozhen.
Zhang Chaoping saw Ji Yang and greeted him with a forced smile.
Zhang Chaoping was extremely frustrated; the situation he had worked so hard to create had unexpectedly been disrupted by Yan Guozhen’s car tire blowout.
