Chapter 561

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's expression shifted slightly: "Oh, it's like this, I'm currently..."

Zhou Weiguo stated an address, then said to Su Yang: "Secretary Sha is coming over, we might need to chat for a while, so today's walk will likely end here. However, you two shouldn't leave either; it's a good chance for you to recognize the proper top leader of Ganzhou. If he can give me a little face and look after you a bit in the future, it will be a tremendous opportunity for you."

Su Yang's heart was filled with excitement; originally, the chance for a small figure like him to see the top leader was almost zero. The so-called "seeing" meant face-to-face, not catching a glimpse from hundreds of meters away during a large meeting.

Zhou Ruohan sat nearby and said: "Is it appropriate for us to stay? What if Secretary Sha wants to talk to you about other matters?"

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand: "If it were about work, he probably wouldn't be meeting here. I estimate it's nothing urgent, most likely just coming to reminisce about old times. It's better if you stay here."

"Of course, if he really has urgent business, we'll see then."

A moment later, Sha Rui arrived with his secretary.

"Secretary Sha, why did you really come in person? I was planning to go to the provincial capital to see you tomorrow and was only going to call to make an appointment tonight; this really makes me feel so embarrassed."

Sha Rui said: "Why are you still being so polite? This can be considered returning to your maiden home, so I should be the one coming to see you. Let's not say anything else; let's find a place nearby, eat a few bites, and chat. Let's not go to any special places; let's just find a roadside stall. Is this your son-in-law?"

As Sha Rui spoke, he looked at Su Yang and the others. This wasn't him saying it on purpose; he had seen Zhou Ruohan before, but he truly hadn't seen Su Yang.

Zhou Weiguo said: "Yes, yes, yes, you've seen them, but Su Yang you probably haven't met yet. He is also a grassroots cadre in our Ganzhou Province, one of Secretary Sha's own soldiers."

While speaking, he looked at Su Yang. Su Yang immediately stood up straight and said: "Hello, Secretary Sha, I am Su Yang, a cadre from Xiushui Township, Jincheng County."

Secretary Sha looked Su Yang up and down a few times: "The young man is not bad; he looks like a man of talent, sunny and revealing perseverance. Ruohan's judgment of people is still quite accurate. I've heard of your great name; you are now known as the 'Officialdom Killer'. Doesn't everyone who partners with you end up inside? Is that how it is?"

Su Yang said very awkwardly: "This... I'm actually not..."

Zhou Ruohan smoothed things over from the side: "Secretary Sha, it's actually not Su Yang's fault; it's because the political ecology of our Jincheng County was not very good to begin with. Due to some historical reasons, the leaders of various townships and even some units in the county had quite a few problems of one kind or another. The county was already planning to focus on turning the tide and dealing with some of the problems, and those cadres who violated laws and discipline also had to be dealt with; it just happened that Su Yang ran into them. He is a stubborn person and doesn't know how to..."

Before Zhou Ruohan could finish, Zhou Weiguo interrupted: "Alright, alright, you're making this sound like a work report. If you want to report on work, later... look at my brain, if you want to report on work, it seems you aren't at the right level; you should go to Mayor Gao."

"Didn't Secretary Sha say he wanted to eat at a roadside stall? You are more familiar with this area; take us to a place with better taste. Secretary Sha rushed over all the way here; he probably hasn't had dinner yet."

As for the roadside stalls here, although Zhou Ruohan hadn't been to many, she still knew a few places that were quite good. Soon, she arranged a barbecue stall with a relatively good environment.

It was only because of her special status; if it were any other county magistrate, they would probably be panicked and at a loss right now. Even all the county cadres would be in a flurry right now—opportunities for a Provincial Party Secretary to come directly to a county for research are rare; many people, even after several terms, might not necessarily see the Secretary and Governor in the county they govern.

After sitting down, Sha Rui didn't stand on ceremony either, ordered a few portions of fried rice and side dishes, and said: "We indeed haven't eaten since coming over, so I will talk a bit more, let's all eat together."

Zhou Weiguo said with a chuckle: "We've already eaten, but I can still accompany you to eat a little more."

While eating, everyone didn't talk about work; they basically reminisced about the past and chatted about the people and things they saw before them.

After the meal, Sha Rui said: "Now the higher-ups are advocating for vigorously developing the economy, and you know the conditions of our Ganzhou Province; there are shortcomings in many aspects. I am under great pressure now. If it were in the past, with you by my side, I basically wouldn't worry about these things. But now..."

Speaking of this, he paused. Zhou Weiguo said: "I came prepared this time too. In the past, I didn't spend much time in Jiangnan Province, but the business environment, enterprise scale, and economic conditions there indeed exceeded my imagination."

"So I also brought a few entrepreneurs who are willing to invest in Ganzhou Province; they should be going directly to negotiate with Comrade Dacheng. I believe that if the negotiations go well, they should all land. As long as the policy support is in place, it will definitely contribute to the economic development of the entire Ganzhou Province. Originally, I planned to talk about these when I went to see you tomorrow, but as a result, your arrival almost disrupted my plan."

"Oh, speaking of this, I think our Ganzhou Province is not without resources to develop. Although material conditions are relatively scarce, natural conditions are not bad, such as some scenic areas that can be developed."

"Over the years, we have only thought about attracting investment from outside, but have always ignored our own environment and conditions. In our Ganzhou Province, there are dozens of large and small scenic tourist areas that can be developed. Not to mention the distant ones, just take the scenic development zone of Xiushui Township; the entire project investment should be around 100 million, but once built, it will continuously bring fiscal revenue to Xiushui Township and even Jincheng County, and can even become the economic pillar of the entire county. If we vigorously develop it, it will form an economic industry."

To beat a drum and listen to the sound, to listen to speech and hear the tone. At this level, as long as each other opens their mouths, they know what the other is talking about.

Sha Rui smiled and said: "Developing tourist scenic areas, you mentioned this before, but the financial pressure is really too great; the provincial finance is not enough to support so many projects. However, we can now also use the strong investment of foreign investors to develop step by step and develop some of the advantageous ones first."

"In addition, for some local leaders who are particularly active, bold, and want to do things, we should give priority support. I also know about the development of the Xiushui Mountain Scenic Management Zone, but I have also heard that Comrade Su Yang has offended quite a few people."

"In our current team, there are always people who disregard the common people for their own interests, and these people always unite as a group, hindering those cadres who want to do things and want to handle practical matters. Fortunately, Comrade Su Yang withstood the pressure; I am quite gratified by this. So I think you should stick to your principles and continue to do things according to your own ideas; when necessary, the province will also support you."
