Chapter 3201

Chi Yongjun nodded and said, "That's true, you've always been good to me."

After Chi Yongjun took office in Xihe, Su Xinghui introduced several major projects to him. In particular, the logistics park project of the Xie Group was a super-large project with an investment of several billion. As long as it succeeded, Xihe would become the logistics distribution center for the neighboring provinces. The benefits this would bring to Xihe's future development were self-evident.

Su Xinghui said, "Then you all need to put in some effort regarding Baozhou's application to become a sub-center city."

Chi Yongjun laughed and scolded, "So that's what you were waiting for here. It seems you've had your eye on me for a long time, haven't you?"

Chi Yongjun was once the chief secretary for Gan Yuru and had deep connections and a network in Yanzhong City, so he was definitely able to help with the matter of applying for sub-center city status.

Although Zhao Yichen and Su Xinghui also had many connections in the provincial capital, having an extra helping hand was certainly better. The louder the voices calling for this, the sooner it could succeed.

When it came down to it, it was because Baozhou City's strength had reached that point. With such strength and the calls from surrounding cities, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government could easily go with the flow and agree to Baozhou becoming a sub-center city.

Su Xinghui said, "How can you call it having my eye on you? This matter is beneficial to everyone. The sooner it succeeds, the faster the policies will come down, and everyone will be able to reap the benefits sooner. Isn't this a good thing?"

Chi Yongjun said, "Hmm, what you say makes sense. Fine, we in Xihe will definitely speak up for you, help you build momentum, and strive to get the policies implemented as soon as possible."

Su Xinghui said, "That's right. Once we truly become a sub-center city, I will definitely think of you first and give you more benefits."

Chi Yongjun nodded and said, "Fine, I'll count you as a real friend."

Not long after Chi Yongjun arrived in Baozhou, the relevant leaders from several other cities arrived one after another. Once they had all gathered, Zhao Yichen, Wei Ziming, and Su Xinghui attended the welcome banquet for them together.

Among the leaders from these cities were two mayors, so Baozhou needed at least its mayor to attend the welcome banquet to ensure the levels were equal. The reason Zhao Yichen also attended this banquet was that he knew this economic cooperation forum was of great significance to Baozhou becoming a sub-center city, so he took the initiative to attend, which significantly raised the profile of the banquet.
