Chapter 549: The city wants to take over the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area

Li Xiangdong cursed fiercely: "This group of leaders above is really not human. How much we have paid, in their eyes, it's all as it should be. If it's done badly or not well, we are the ones who get scolded; but whenever we make a little achievement, they just touch their lips, and the credit is all theirs!"

"The Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area must absolutely not be handed over; otherwise, what else can our common people count on?"

Xie Siyang's hot temper couldn't bear it anymore: "Director, why don't we go to the province to petition? I don't believe the provincial leaders won't care! If it really doesn't work, I will go to Jingcheng to petition alone; we can't just let them do whatever they want!"

Although Gao Peixia didn't say anything, anger was clearly flickering in her eyes.

Only then did Su Yang speak: "Everyone, calm down and keep your mindset right. What belongs to us cannot be taken away by others. And I estimate this matter is aimed at me."

"Regarding the trusteeship of the scenic area by the county or the city, it's not without precedent. If you really want to find problems with them in this regard, not only will you not find problems, but you might also be given small shoes to wear because you offended the leaders above."

"In my opinion, the reason they dare to openly snatch our scenic area is that they must have received support from certain leaders in the province. Plus, the city itself is short of money. For projects like scenic areas, once the initial investment is completed, all subsequent income is pure profit."

"You all go do what you need to do and do your own work well. I can guarantee you that no one can take away the scenic area we worked so hard to build!"

Hearing Su Yang say this, everyone forcibly suppressed their anger and retreated from the office very reluctantly. But Xie Siyang and Gao Peixia didn't leave, and Li Xiangdong also stayed behind.

"Director, stop comforting us. They say a rank higher crushes people, and a small arm can't twist a thigh. If we really want to arm-wrestle with the people above on this matter, we must handle it together; we can't let you go and top this thunder alone. Along the way, you have already gone against the leaders above several times and have long been hated."

Xie Siyang said sincerely, "I only heard about the past things, and it has nothing to do with me, but now I am also a member of the Poverty Alleviation Office, and there is also my hard work in this project. And we also have some hard relationships in the province. If we really want to bring them out, it's not impossible to arm-wrestle."

Su Yang smiled and said: "Then I will thank you on behalf of the common people. But the same sentence, the city's decision was agreed upon by the big leaders in the province. If you find relationships from above to make them take back their orders, where will the faces of the provincial leaders be? Don't they want face?"

Xie Siyang suddenly became anxious: "This won't work, that won't work, are we just going to watch them snatch away the scenic area we worked so hard to develop?"

Su Yang said: "Of course not, there is a better solution. Besides, always looking for people above, will it make people feel that we are politically immature? Finding parents when being bullied a little, even if it can solve the problem, will be mocked by peers in the future."

"Don't they want to pick the fruit? Then I'll just smash the pot—you immediately ask your dad to announce to the outside world that you are withdrawing capital from the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area development project. Just find a reason, such as business expansion, production needs, etc. At the same time, I will also call President Qiao and ask him to withdraw the 30 million capital as well. As long as these 50 million are withdrawn at the same time, this group of people in the city will definitely be dumbfounded."

"I don't know about others, but it's almost impossible for them to scrape together 50 million to advance funds. As long as this project stops completely, naturally someone will be more anxious than us."

Xie Siyang was instantly happy: "I'm not good at other things, and I have to consume human feelings and send gifts, but withdrawing capital is too simple! The key is that you asked to withdraw it, which means the money lying on the Xiushui Township finance account can be returned at any time. I will call my dad now and let him issue a statement to the outside world!" After speaking, he hurried to make a phone call.

Su Yang picked up the phone and dialed his aunt. The phone rang twice before it was connected.

"Su Yang, when did you kid have a conscience and think of me? Are you reporting good news, or what? If there is no good news, don't waste my time!" His aunt's tone carried a smile, but her mouth was unforgiving.

Su Yang knew what his aunt meant by "reporting good news." Of course, he wanted to report good news, but for the past few months, he and Zhou Ruohan had been working frantically, and Zhou Ruohan had also done her best to regulate her body, but this kind of thing wasn't something you could have just because you wanted it.

Especially after Fang Jingwen said those highly stimulating words last time, after he went back and told Zhou Ruohan word for word, Zhou Ruohan was so angry she almost didn't go to work. In the end, he treated this matter as a key project to tackle. A man in his 20s with peak physical strength, endurance, and energy had looked haggard after these few months, but this matter wasn't something you could do just by working hard.

He stammered: "Aunt, we are working hard... I basically go back every week now, and I will go back when I have time on normal working days. The road is repaired, and it only takes more than an hour to go to the county. But you also know about this matter, 70% depends on hard work and 30% is destined by heaven. However, I heard Ruohan say that recently she seems... anyway, I guess it will be soon."

"I called you mainly for another matter—the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area development project was picked by certain leaders in the city. It is Secretary Gao Daliang I mentioned before. Ever since he was rejected by Secretary Hongtao, Ruohan, and Fang Jingwen last time, he wanted to take crazy revenge on the three of them. As a result, he tried every means and used every method, only to find that he couldn't do anything to them, and even almost buried himself several times, and was named by provincial leaders. But you also know people in officialdom; if they can't handle the big ones, they handle the small ones, and in the end, he vented all his resentment on me."

"So he issued a notice yesterday, saying that the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area will be fully taken over by the city in the future, which means the management rights are ours, but the fiscal revenue must be handed over to them. Where can one reason about this kind of thing? And I can't look for parents every time something happens. Over time, people will say that Ruohan's son-in-law is not worth using. I am also a man, and I also want face."

After listening, his aunt was angry, but she understood Su Yang and knew that he must have a countermeasure when he called, so she interrupted: "Don't pretend to be pitiful with me. If you have any ideas, just say it directly. I will definitely help if I can, and I will find a way to help if I can't. If it really doesn't work, just let your cheap father-in-law come forward. He has already stood firm in Jiangnan Province, and I heard that the leaders above appreciate him more and more. If he says a word, I guess it's more useful than your Governor of Ganzhou Province!"

Su Yang hurriedly said: "No need, no need, how can such a small matter disturb Uncle Zhou? My idea is this..." ===== CHAPTER 550 =====
