Chapter 1213: Rejected the Adjustment Application?

Chai Zhenkun could not hide the anger in his tone.

"Director Zhang, I just met with Tang Ye, and I offered the greatest concessions possible.

As long as it is guaranteed that we can win the bid for Plot 22, we can sign the land acquisition and demolition contract at the original acquisition price.

However, Tang Ye does not agree with my proposal."

Zhang Nan frowned and said in a deep voice, "I will call Tang Ye later."

Chai Zhenkun thought to himself that Tang Ye should at least give Zhang Nan some face.

"Then I will trouble you. Once this is done, there will certainly be a generous reward."

Zhang Nan smiled faintly, "You are too polite."

After Tang Ye returned to his office, he received a call from Zhang Nan of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.

"Director Zhang, do you have any instructions?"

Zhang Nan's tone was somewhat serious, "Little Tang, regarding the report on adjusting the scope of the Strategic Eastward Expansion land acquisition and demolition, we have conducted an in-depth discussion on this project. According to the experts' advice, it is better not to make any modifications without authorization, because once modified, it will cause inconsistencies in the narrative and lead to overall chaos."

Tang Ye said, "Director Zhang, to put it simply, has the province rejected our application to adjust the scope of land acquisition and demolition?"

Zhang Nan thought of an alternative strategy.

As far as Tang Ye was concerned, he was worried about the excessive costs of land acquisition and demolition.

She could use the resources at her disposal to solve this problem.

"According to my understanding, the reason you are modifying the scope of land acquisition and demolition is because there are four gardens, and the cost of acquisition and demolition is very high.

I will be responsible for coordinating the funds for the acquisition and demolition, and later I will subsidize you through other projects.

In this way, there will be no need to adjust the scope of the acquisition and demolition."

Through this statement from Zhang Nan, it could basically be confirmed that there was a conflict of interest between Zhang Nan and Chai Zhenkun.

Tang Ye said with difficulty, "Director Zhang, first of all, I must thank you for your support of our Yechuan County. In order to help us solve the current problem, you have provided a solution.

I also believe you have the ability to make up for the 100 million in funding gaps through other policy projects.

However, this capital involves transferring state-owned assets to a private individual; does this not pose a risk of loss of state-owned assets?"

Zhang Nan did not expect Tang Ye to be so stubborn, so she patiently persuaded him, "Little Tang, I admire your official, business-like attitude. I have known Chai Zhenkun for many years and we have a good relationship. Can you show me some mercy for the sake of our acquaintance?"

Tang Ye was silent for a few seconds and sighed helplessly, "Director Zhang, I don't want to make things so complicated either. It's just that this matter involves too many elements, and it is not something I can decide on my own."

Zhang Nan asked in confusion, "You are the County Magistrate of Yechuan County; you can make the decision on the standards for land acquisition and demolition. Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes!"

Tang Ye complained, "If Boss Chai had found me three days ago and offered concessions, I would have certainly agreed happily. But the situation is different now."

Zhang Nan's heart skipped a beat, "What exactly is going on?"

Tang Ye thought to himself that there was no need to tell her, so he feigned great hesitation, "Director Zhang, I don't know how to say this. Why don't you ask Boss Chai yourself?"

After hanging up on Tang Ye, Zhang Nan's expression turned gloomy.

She sensed something ominous.

After thinking it over, she dialed Gao Qidong's number.

"Mayor Gao, has something happened in Xiyang City?"

Gao Qidong remained calm, "Director Zhang, have you heard any rumors?"

Zhang Nan said, "Chai Zhenkun called me and said that the Yechuan County Government's attitude is firm and they will not accept his concessions.

I called Tang Ye, and Tang Ye made excuses that the situation had changed. When I asked him for the reason, he refused to say clearly and was evasive."

Gao Qidong decided not to hide it anymore.

"A major event has indeed occurred in Xiyang these past few days. Mayor Jiang Jing's wife was attacked; she nearly miscarried and was saved from the jaws of death. The culprit points to the Zhenao Group."

Zhang Nan gasped, "So that's it. What was Chai Zhenkun thinking? How could he cause such a huge disaster!"

Gao Qidong frowned and said, "I warned Chai Zhenkun long ago. However, this man is headstrong and overly arrogant."

Zhang Nan was silent for a few seconds, "If there is any other important news, keep me informed in a timely manner."

Gao Qidong nodded and said, "Director Zhang, don't worry, I will share information with you at any time."

After hanging up on Gao Qidong, Zhang Nan picked up her water cup, but because of her inner tension, the cup trembled slightly.

She tried to tell herself not to panic, but her anxiety still showed.

Zhang Nan had revealed the news about the Yechuan County Strategic Eastward Expansion to Chai Zhenkun and had told him the scope of the land acquisition and demolition.

Chai Zhenkun had paid a fee to the consulting firm she designated for this.

She had not expected that Yechuan would encounter obstacles during the demolition.

Chai Zhenkun had even stood in opposition to the Mayor.

Chai Zhenkun had worked his way up from the grassroots and could be considered a hero of his generation.

But he had underestimated the changes in ideology.

Relying on violence and Hidden Plot, one cannot go far in the new era.

Zhang Nan had a bad premonition.

This matter might affect her.

Thinking of this, she could not help but feel like she was sitting on pins and needles, filled with deep regret.

……

Min Province, Quanyang City.

A Mercedes-Benz minivan slowly pulled up to the entrance of a five-star hotel.

A waiter hurried forward to open the door.

Subsequently, a woman covered in jewelry and looking radiant stepped out, arm-in-arm with a man in a suit and leather shoes.

The two took the elevator to the banquet hall on the second floor.

The hall was dominated by gold and red, decorated in an extremely festive manner.

The electronic screen in the center displayed: "Warmest congratulations on Mr. Lai Qingwang's sixtieth birthday!"

After entering the room, the man led the woman straight toward a middle-aged man.

"This is my uncle!"

The woman hurriedly handed over the gift box she was carrying, "Uncle Lai, this is a birthday gift I carefully selected for you."

Lai Qingwang nodded toward the woman, "Miss Zhang, our whole family likes your songs; thank you for your gift."

The woman smiled sweetly, "If you don't mind, I would be happy to sing a song for you later!"

Lai Qingwang laughed heartily, "Good, good, good, this is an unexpected surprise!"

Wu Xiuyuan sat at a table far away, and seeing Boss Lai chatting happily with the household-name female star Zhang Wan, a strong feeling of envy welled up in his heart.

He had heard rumors before that Boss Lai's nephew and Zhang Wan were dating.

At the time, Wu Xiuyuan had been somewhat skeptical.

Sure enough, a man must have a career; once one has status, even a super superstar can be won over.

The birthday party began, and the Host held the microphone with a smile on his face, "Today is Mr. Lai Qingwang's sixtieth birthday, and everyone present is a good friend or family member here to celebrate with him.

Among them is a special guest, and she is the household-name superstar Zhang Wan.

Now, let us invite Zhang Wan to sing a song.

Everyone, please welcome her with applause!"

Wu Xiuyuan had not expected to be able to hear Zhang Wan sing in person, so he clapped desperately.

He did not notice,

that several people had snuck into the banquet hall.

One of them quickly locked onto Wu Xiuyuan in the crowd...
