Chapter 560: Secretary Sha is Coming

Zhao Jidong glanced at his personal secretary, not with any intention of blame; he knew this was done out of concern for him.

Although he was the head of the provincial government, Huang Dacheng was coming on strong, and now, from top to bottom, the emphasis was on economic development and attracting investment.

At this critical juncture, several entrepreneurs from Jiangnan Province had suddenly arrived in Ganzhou Province to inspect projects.

If they had come at any other time, he would have been extremely welcoming, even taking the initiative to invite them for a meeting.

But this time, this group of entrepreneurs had arrived right on the heels of Zhou Weiguo, and he didn't believe there was no connection between the two.

Situated in his position, every event that occurred had to be scrutinized repeatedly.

"How about this: you should continue to keep an eye on this matter. If they have no intention of meeting me, don't force it."

"Additionally, you need to primarily observe what the Secretary's intentions are. If the Secretary makes contact with these people in any capacity, you must inform me immediately."

"If the top leader is going to take the initiative to see these people, then he must be prepared accordingly."

After finishing, Wu Dachun turned and walked out. He sat down at his desk and silently reviewed the ins and outs of the entire situation.

He knew a thing or two about Zhou Weiguo; the young and strong faction had strong upward momentum, and it was basically a foregone conclusion that he would take another step up.

The key was that, to his knowledge, Zhou Weiguo had always put work first and would not return to Ganzhou Province for no reason, especially in a private capacity.

What exactly had happened? If it were just because this time he had tacitly approved of Gao Daliang's actions, thereby causing Zhou Ruohan extreme dissatisfaction...

... and Zhou Weiguo had come to stand up for his daughter, that didn't seem right.

Given Zhou Weiguo's current status and position, it was impossible for him to do such a thing; even just making a greeting or asking about it didn't fit Zhou Weiguo's style, in his opinion.

Then, was the only possibility that he had come for Huang Dacheng?

If that were the case, he should summon 120% of his energy to respond. His influence was already far inferior to Zhou Weiguo's, not to mention that the man was now a rising political star.

But no matter how he thought about it, he could not connect this matter to the development project of the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area.

From his perspective, such a project and event were simply too small—too small to warrant his special attention.

However, just at this moment, Wu Dachun returned: "Leader, I just heard from the Provincial Party Committee Office that Secretary Sha is going to Jincheng County before getting off work."

"I heard that after Governor Zhou Weiguo's flight landed, he also went directly to Jincheng County."

He stopped there, as there was no need to continue.

The meaning was already very clear: Secretary Sha was likely going to find Zhou Weiguo, and the significance released by this was too great.

Zhao Jidong tapped his right hand rhythmically on the desk and then said slowly: "Secretary Sha is likely going to see Comrade Zhou Weiguo in a private capacity as well; there is nothing to be surprised about."

"Oh, right, tell me again about the previous matter regarding the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area, and explain the fiscal handover of the scenic area to me clearly."

Wu Dachun then told Zhao Jidong the information he had gathered, word for word.

Among it, he very tactfully mentioned Tian Xiaofei; in reality, the whole thing was him instigating Gao Daliang to do it behind the scenes.

So much so that, up until now, everyone thought this was Zhao Jidong's tacit approval, and Gao Daliang had become very tough because of it.

Of course, it had to be said that Zhao Jidong did indeed have this intention in mind. At his level, many things did not need to be spoken of personally; sometimes, silence was an attitude.

Gao Daliang had some problems with his brain; why did he have to be tough with others at this time? The Xiushui Mountain Scenic Area didn't count for much to the province, and perhaps it wasn't a big project to the city, but to a township, it was something countless common people were looking forward to.

For those township leaders, it was an even fuller embodiment of their achievements. Before they had even finished building it, he had nakedly plucked the fruit away.

Who wouldn't have an opinion on that? Not to mention that he had run into such a leadership team in Jincheng County.

Did he not know the backgrounds of Zhou Ruohan and Fang Jingwen?

Wu Dachun said: "He probably doesn't know. If he did, he would definitely not dare to do this."

"Then do you need me to go tell him to hurry up and return this project to Xiushui Township, and quickly settle the matter so as not to cause any more trouble?"

"Otherwise..."

Zhao Jidong said: "No need. I think Vice Governor Huang will personally come forward to speak on this matter. As for this Comrade Gao Daliang, let him take responsibility for the consequences he should bear."

"Because I didn't know about this matter from beginning to end, and no one reported it to me."

"Alright, go busy yourself with your work."

Zhao Jidong said this, but he felt very uncomfortable inside. Huang Dacheng had recently put a lot of pressure on him. He had originally thought about using this incident to let the cadres across the province know that he was the head of the provincial government.

As long as Gao Daliang could really collect the fiscal power into the city, this would release a clear signal to the cadres across the province.

That was that the people and projects supported by Vice Governor Huang were nothing without his nod.

But he never expected that this Comrade Gao Daliang would use too much force.

After 7:00 PM, while Zhou Weiguo and his wife were taking a walk with Su Yang and Zhou Ruohan, they received a call from Sha Rui.

"Secretary Sha, hello. Do you have any instructions?"

Sha Rui said with a smile: "Brother Weiguo, you came to our Ganzhou and didn't even say a word. Although you also came out of here, I am still here after all. Since you've come, I must fulfill the duties of a host."

This was as polite as it could be. Previously, when Zhou Weiguo was serving in Ganzhou, this Secretary Sha had been very supportive.

But he hadn't been this polite; it was purely a colleague relationship, and when interests were involved, he would still bring out his dignity as the top leader.

But now it was different. Although he was also a frontier official as the head of Ganzhou Province, if one really had to talk about the gold content, he was definitely stronger than the Governor of Jiangnan Province.

But if one really compared the gold content, he was already like a setting sun, while the other was a rising bright moon. Moreover, at their level, everyone was very clear that this was just the beginning for Zhou Weiguo.

That was why he had made a special trip to see Zhou Weiguo; otherwise, even if the two were to meet, it should have been Zhou Weiguo going to see his old leader.

Zhou Weiguo stopped and said: "Since that's the case, if you are free tomorrow morning, I will go to the provincial capital to see you."

"It is also time to listen to the teachings of my old leader."

He mistakenly thought Sha Rui was still in the provincial capital.

But Sha Rui said: "You are still as humble and polite as ever. How would I dare to be your old leader? 'Leader' is even more out of the question. Let's just chat like old colleagues and old friends. I am now in Jincheng County; you name a place and I'll come over."
