Chapter 224: The Calm Before the Storm

The next morning, Su Yang specially got up early, because Secretary Zhou might come to today's activity.

This is rare in the history of Huatian Town. As the Town Mayor of Huatian Town, he is responsible for problems in all aspects, including the order of the reception site and arrangements in all aspects.

When he rushed to the entrance of the Town Government, it was only 7:50. According to the rules, there were still more than ten minutes before work time.

Normally, these cadres who only shake and come to work after their butts are exposed to the sun have all arrived today, and each of them is dressed very spiritedly. Even Qin Chuan arrived before him, let alone other Town Party Committee team cadres.

Seeing Su Yang coming over, Li Hu immediately greeted him and said, "Town Mayor, I have just received a call from the County Party Committee Office. Secretary Zhou and County Magistrate Li are coming back, as well as Minister Li Qingsheng of the Publicity Department and Minister Gao Tongwei of the United Front Work Department."

The reason why he deliberately mentioned the list of leaders coming down this time is to tell Su Yang that except for Secretary Zhou, the other three seem to be very wrong with Su Yang.

Li Jianguo goes without saying. Li Qingsheng is because he wanted to make a contribution and express himself on Su Yang's problem, but was slapped in the face nakedly. His old face couldn't hang on.

So this time he followed Secretary Zhou and came down.

As for Gao Tongwei, it is very easy to understand, because he was originally Li Jianguo's man, and it is not surprising that he and Li Jianguo are in the same boat.

Su Yang smiled and said, "This is a huge piece of good news for our town. Having four County Standing Committee members come at once, and even having the County Party Secretary lead the team in person, this is our honor. You must ensure that the relevant work is done well."

"As for other matters, don't think too much. When it's time for rain to fall or a mother to remarry, there is no use in us worrying too much about some things. Thinking more won't change any results."

The reason Su Yang said this was because County Party Secretary Zhou Hongtao was coming down in person, so whatever happened here would be decided by Secretary Zhou. At this moment, he had not yet realized how serious the problem really was.

At this time, Qin Chuan also saw Su Yang. He walked over and greeted him with a smile, "Mayor Su, you're here too. Today is a big day for our Huatian Town. Now all the work is ready, just waiting for the leaders to arrive."

"Is there any problem with the road construction company? This time, Secretary Zhou is coming to cut the ribbon himself. Besides, I have already notified the Shangri-La Hotel to receive everyone at noon."

Su Yang said, "There is definitely no problem on the road construction side. I checked repeatedly with General Manager Kang last night, and everything is ready. Your signing shouldn't have much of a problem, right? I think the leaders coming down might also be aiming for this signing."

Hearing Su Yang say this, the smile on Qin Chuan's face grew even wider. Weren't you clearly opposing me before? Now that Secretary Zhou is coming down, aren't you rushing to ask about this matter?

He did not know that Su Yang actually hoped for Secretary Zhou to come, because as long as Secretary Zhou witnessed the rights and wrongs of the matter, he would not have to go through so much trouble in the future.

At the same time, Zhou Ruohan and Fang Jingwen were not present due to their respective work reasons, so they would not face embarrassment after the Four Seas Biological scandal broke out in the future.

"Of course I'm ready. The boss of Four Seas Biological will be there in person; it can be considered as him coming to support us."

Su Yang took a look around the scene and, finding no flaws, sat down on the chairs prepared for the leaders to rest.

Ma Zhengyang stood on the other side smoking a cigarette, feeling happy inside. Su Yang, oh Su Yang, this is probably your last time in Huatian Town.

You probably don't know yet, but in a moment, it will be your large-scale car crash scene. You were the one who made me lose face in front of everyone in the lens of "Today Zero Distance" back then.

This time, it probably won't just be a matter of losing face. Thinking of this, he specifically walked to Su Yang's side and asked, "Mayor Su, how are the two media outlets, 'Today Zero Distance' and 'Lancheng Daily', doing? When will they arrive?"

"Because Secretary Zhou is coming this time, our preparation work probably needs to be done very carefully. I believe you also know that the higher the leader, the more they like to be exposed under the media's lens."

"Although this is a matter for our Huatian Town, whether it is road construction or investment attraction, Secretary Li also has glory on his face."

Su Yang looked at the time and said, "They set off after 6 o'clock this morning. I estimate they will arrive before 9 o'clock."

Amidst the orderly arrangement and busyness of the crowd, dust flew in the distance, and several small cars sped over.

The ones arriving were the reporters from "Lancheng Daily" and the program team of "Today Zero Distance".

Leading the team for "Today Zero Distance" was a deputy director of the television station, who brought several cameras and several professional photographers today.

He had already heard about Su Yang's matter on the way, so as soon as he got out of the car, he saw the handsome, sunny, tall, mighty, and charismatic Su Yang in the crowd.

So he walked straight over and said, "Hello, Mayor Su. For this live broadcast of yours, our host Mo Da got up at 4 o'clock in the morning to put on makeup and tidy up, and made us set off before 6 o'clock. This level of enthusiasm has never been seen before."

This made Su Yang feel quite embarrassed. He looked at Mo Xiaobei and said, "Who is this leader?"

Mo Xiaobei introduced, "This is our television station's deputy director, Comrade Gao Jianli."

Su Yang shook his hand and said, "Hello, Director Gao. Being able to lead the team here in person is simply the honor of our Huatian Town. I will have to trouble you with the matters here today. After we are done, I will definitely thank you properly."

Director Gao hurriedly said, "This is our job, no need to talk about thanks."

Although he said so, in reality, if it weren't for Li Xunhuan's word, he, a deputy director of the television station, would never have run here. So he came under orders; how could he dare to accept Su Yang's grand hospitality?

Su Yang of course knew this, so after exchanging some very enthusiastic and polite pleasantries, he went to greet the "Lancheng Daily" reporters, but before he could even get close, he discovered that Ma Zhengyang and Qin Chuan had already gone up to meet them.

Thinking back to that incident of his which caused Zhou Ruohan to run to "Lancheng Daily" aggressively, causing "Lancheng Daily" to specifically publish an apology to him.

Although "Lancheng Daily" would give Zhou Ruohan face, they would definitely count the account of such a shameful thing as publishing an apology in the newspaper on Su Yang.

Thinking of this, he did not go over, so as not to make everyone feel awkward or unhappy.

After arranging these two media units, the time arrived exactly at 9 o'clock. Xu Jin called everyone to stand in a queue according to their rank, waiting for Secretary Zhou's motorcade.

After about ten minutes, Secretary Zhou's car appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Qin Chuan said to the crowd, "Secretary Zhou has arrived, everyone perk up."

Su Yang also tidied his clothes and waited for Secretary Zhou's motorcade to approach.
