Sitting in the car, Ji Yang headed towards Xiashan County.
Several women had now gone to inspect three separate counties, with Xiashan County being the area the Wu Family Sisters were investigating.
As the car approached the border of Xiashan County, the county leaders were already waiting there.
The Secretary of the County Committee, Ma Liangping, was the first to come forward to greet them.
"Mayor Ji, good day."
Ji Yang shook hands with him and said, "I told you there’s no need for such formality."
"It’s necessary. Everyone knows Mayor Ji is the God of Wealth; wherever you go, development follows. The people of Xiashan County have been waiting a long time for this."
County Mayor He Guohai also shook hands with Ji Yang, saying, "Mayor Ji, you’ve finally arrived here, we’ve been looking forward to this for so long."
Seeing the condition of these leaders, Ji Yang was at a loss for words; he suspected there was more of a performance on their part.
However, from their emotions, he could tell they did hope he could help them out.
Everyone got back into the cars and continued on their way.
Soon, the convoy entered the county government compound.
Ji Yang looked over the compound; it looked quite old and had not been newly constructed.
All the way there, Ji Yang had intentionally looked around and seen no new housing projects, and he noticed a place labeled ’Government Housing District’, which also consisted of old houses.
It seemed these leaders had not been engaging in reckless construction.
In the meeting room, Ji Yang said, "Let’s start by reporting on the situation here."
He Guohai immediately brought out the information that had been prepared in advance and handed a copy to Ji Yang.
Ji Yang read through it while listening to the report.
Listening to the report, it was clear that other than having many mountains, Xiashan County really had no special features. If forced to name one, it would be the products from the mountains; nearly all their development relied on these resources.
The projector displayed a map of Xiashan County.
Ji Yang carefully compared this map with the map of the whole city and indeed, this county was some distance from Shisong County, with another county separating them. Getting any light from Shisong County’s development was impossible.
Ji Yang knew that one could not expect to get any useful information from the reports they made; if they had the capability, they would have already developed.
After listening, Ji Yang said, "Everyone is aware of the situation in Shisong County, right?"
He Guohai responded, "How could we not know? Before, Shisong County was worse off than us, but now, after the discovery of an ancient cultivation site, they’ve soared to great heights."
The leaders all gave wry smiles, truly not expecting such a turn of events; the development of Shisong County was truly enviable.
"There was a piece of land that Mi Yu Investment Company occupied there. They later sold that land and made nearly ten billion yuan from the deal. I’ve invited them to Xiashan County this time, and if we can secure their investment, Xiashan County will have significant development."
"Are they willing to invest here?" Everyone suddenly got excited; not to mention so much capital, even an investment of over a hundred million would greatly propel the whole county’s development.
"They have already arrived ahead of schedule, as they wanted to understand the local investment environment."
"What, they’re already here?"
Just then, Ji Yang’s phone rang, and he immediately answered it.
An anxious voice came through from the other end.
"Brother, come save us, we’ve reached Tufang Village, and we’re surrounded by the whole village."
Ji Yang was truly startled; he hadn’t expected such a situation.
"We’re surrounded, all the villagers have us encircled."
"I’ll send someone right away." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n0velfire.net
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yang inquired about Tufang Village.
Someone reported on the situation in Tufang Village.
Ji Yang said, "Investors are now surrounded by villagers in Tufang Village. Immediately send people to protect them, you know the consequences if anything happens."
The county leaders were also stunned at that moment; they hadn’t expected the major investors they were discussing to be surrounded by villagers.
"I’ll arrange it right away."
The county leaders were now truly in a panic, making calls left and right, causing a chaotic scene.
Ji Yang said, "Let’s head to Tufang Village first."
At this, the county leaders really began to panic, each getting into their cars to follow towards Tufang Village.
In fact, Tufang Village wasn’t far from the county seat and also fell under the jurisdiction of Chengguan Town.
When everyone’s convoy arrived, they could quickly see many villagers gathered there.
The police had arrived first, and they were talking to the villagers.
What exactly had happened?
Ji Yang was somewhat unclear about the situation. By all accounts, the Wu Family Sisters were not troublemakers, so how had they gotten into a conflict with the villagers?
"Mayor Ji, we’ve received word that the people from Mi Yu Investment are trapped inside, but there are no issues yet."
Without paying much attention to that, Ji Yang strode forward.
"Mayor Ji, the villagers’ mood isn’t good right now, it could be dangerous for you inside," warned Secretary Ma Liangping.
Ji Yang said, "It’s fine."
With that, he continued to walk towards the village.
Seeing Ji Yang moving forward, several county leaders gritted their teeth and followed suit.
