Chapter 3762

She also remembered the process of securing the contract at the time; the then-Mayor of Linshan, Tang Yongchang, coveted her beauty and promised that as long as she submitted to him, he would give her the contract.

Thus, Tang Yongchang became a towering tree she could cling to, and she obtained the management contract for the Linshan Municipal Government Guesthouse as she had wished; later, when Tang Yongchang became the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, her position in Linshan became even more secure.

Who would have known that last year, a major mining disaster occurred, and Tang Yongchang fell; fortunately, when Tang Yongchang fell, he did not implicate her, and she luckily escaped the fate of collapsing to the ground, relying on a single contract to continue managing the municipal government guesthouse.

However, she had to find another towering tree to cling to, and finally, she found Cao Yuanhao; this young Executive Vice Mayor was both sturdy enough for her to cling to, and handsome, gentle, and considerate, making her think she had met a good man.

Just as she was fantasizing about a wonderful future, a bolt from the blue suddenly struck, almost stunning her into a stupor, and Cao Yuanhao's failure to answer her calls at this critical moment, showing such a lack of responsibility, left her heart feeling like dead ashes.

Although she was currently immersed in love, she had seen many people and understood men all too well; despite all the sweet words Cao Yuanhao usually spoke, he was a man without a sense of responsibility, and he was truly unreliable in this matter.

However, Luan Sihong had no one else to rely on now, so she could only force herself to suppress the thoughts in her heart and wait for him to return in Cao Yuanhao's room.

Unknowingly, Luan Sihong fell asleep on the bed; she was too tired. Although she had the image of a strong woman and managed the municipal government guesthouse in an orderly fashion, she was a woman after all, and she would get tired too. Today's events were too much of a blow to her, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.

Cao Yuanhao went to the People's Bank for an inspection, while Weng Jingyao went to Su Xinghui's office to report his plan; he would immediately announce to the public through newspapers, television, and the internet that the municipal government guesthouse was seeking a new management contract, cordially inviting capable investors to participate in the bidding.

Su Xinghui nodded, approved Weng Jingyao's plan, and told Weng Jingyao to announce it to the whole society immediately.

Weng Jingyao now admired Su Xinghui to the point of prostration; with just such a plain and unremarkable move, Su Xinghui had suddenly thrown Cao Yuanhao into a panic, and Weng Jingyao found it amusing just thinking about Cao Yuanhao's flustered appearance at the mayor's office meeting today.

Originally, Weng Jingyao had some fear, after all, Cao Yuanhao had an extraordinary background, but seeing Cao Yuanhao's performance, Weng Jingyao was no longer afraid of anything; Cao Yuanhao was too far behind Su Xinghui, he was simply not an opponent of the same caliber, and he really didn't have the qualifications to fight Su Xinghui.

Weng Jingyao naturally knew about the conflict between Cao Yuanhao and Su Xinghui; Su Xinghui had originally ignored Cao Yuanhao, but Cao Yuanhao was tactless and repeatedly challenged Su Xinghui's authority, and now that Su Xinghui had made a move, Cao Yuanhao's sore spot had been stepped on.

The methods and abilities of the two sides could be judged immediately.

Weng Jingyao was now also completely committed to Su Xinghui; being able to follow such a leader was his good fortune.

Weng Jingyao immediately returned to his office and arranged for this matter to be carried out.

Su Xinghui did not care about this matter, nor was he excited; what did he have to be excited about? For him, this was just a very minor matter.

Moreover, he was completely justified in doing this, and no one could find fault with him.

There was more than one topic at today's mayor's office meeting; there were other topics too. The earth did not revolve around Cao Yuanhao and Luan Sihong, and the attention of others was immediately drawn to other major events in Linshan City.

The most eye-catching one was, of course, the upgrading of Linshan College to Linshan University; if the upgrade was successful, this would be the first undergraduate university in Linshan's history. This was, of course, a major event. Xie Wenkuang had submitted a report to the municipal government, and after the mayor's office meeting passed it, the curtain was raised on this matter.

Vice Mayor Hu Haiyan, who was in charge of culture, education, and health, along with Xie Wenkuang and others, went to Yanzhong City to begin applying to the provincial government for the upgrade of Linshan College to Linshan University. The people of Linshan were discussing this matter heatedly, and everyone was talking about it with great excitement.

In the future, Linshan would also have an undergraduate university; this was truly a magical thing. Since this Mayor Su came to Linshan, there had been a constant stream of good things in Linshan. It seemed they hadn't chosen wrong when they selected Mayor Su to be this mayor.

In fact, the upgrading of Linshan College was also a matter of circumstance for Su Xinghui; it could not be entirely attributed to him, as Linshan College's conditions were already close to meeting the requirements for an undergraduate university, and Su Xinghui only needed to give it a push from behind, but who would know such things?

Everyone only saw that as soon as Su Xinghui took office, Linshan City changed its appearance; Linshan began to repair roads, build houses, start factories, and now the university was also going to be upgraded.

After Su Xinghui came, it seemed that the roads in Linshan City had become much cleaner. In the past, the roads in Linshan City were covered with scattered black coal everywhere, and sanitation workers couldn't sweep it clean even if they tried; it had to be washed with water every day, but it would be washed one day and scattered again the next, so the roads in Linshan City were always black.

But now, the coal trucks were covered with oilcloth and were not piled as high, so the scattering of coal happened very rarely now. The streets of Linshan City had returned to cleanliness, and coupled with the large-scale greening on both sides of the streets, Linshan was becoming more and more beautiful.

Therefore, the upgrading of Linshan College had also made Su Xinghui's prestige higher and higher.

Besides this, there was the transfer of several plots of land; these plots were used to exchange for affordable housing in Linshan City. After Su Xinghui took office, the construction of affordable housing was also an aspect he was committed to. The construction of affordable housing was related to the housing problems of ordinary people in Linshan City and also to whether housing prices in Linshan City could remain stable.

Therefore, Su Xinghui adopted the method of using prime land to exchange for affordable housing built by real estate development companies to attract them to build affordable housing. Although housing prices in Linshan City would not skyrocket under Su Xinghui's control, the economic take-off of Linshan City was a certainty, so the real estate market here was still very attractive to those real estate development companies.

Especially those plots of land in prime locations were competed for by real estate development companies, and Su Xinghui had set such a policy that real estate development companies that built affordable housing could get better land first, which made real estate development companies flock to it.

Su Xinghui's policy allowed the construction of affordable housing in Linshan City to reach a relatively high proportion, allowing ordinary people to live in affordable housing, and this policy was also very welcomed by the common people.

As for investors coming to build factories, this had become a common occurrence for everyone. Over the past year, there had been many investors coming to Linshan to invest and build factories; almost every day, investors signed investment agreements and successfully built factories in Linshan. Upon hearing this, people would at most say, "Another boss has come to Linshan to build a factory," and check what the salary and benefits were like; if they were good, they could go and apply.

These enterprises created a large number of job opportunities for Linshan City, and the large-scale land acquisition in Linshan City now also provided a large number of laborers for the market; they transformed from landless farmers into industrial workers, which was also the process of urbanization in Linshan City.

For this transformation process, Linshan City also provided skills training to these farmers so that they could keep up with the pace of industrial workers and learn skills sufficient to earn a living and support their families.

This was also Su Xinghui's consistent approach; in the process of developing the economy, he would never ignore the interests of ordinary people. He wanted to increase their income while also ensuring they had houses to live in; he believed that such a society was a harmonious society.

If 97% of the income was earned by 3% of the people, and ordinary people had to spend the savings of two or three generations to buy a house and still owe the bank a large sum of money, making homebuyers slaves to their houses for a lifetime, that was absolutely an unhealthy society.

Most of the issues discussed at today's Linshan Municipal Government office meeting were such problems, and these problems were much larger than the topic of who would contract a municipal government guesthouse, so they attracted more attention. The topic of who would contract the municipal government guesthouse did not stir up any waves in a wide range of Linshan City.

The only ones truly troubled by this matter were Luan Sihong and Cao Yuanhao. Of course, for them, this matter was the biggest thing, bigger than anything else in the world, so they now felt they were the most troubled people in the world.

Cao Yuanhao went to the People's Bank, inspected for a day, held meetings, gave speeches, ate dinner, and drank alcohol in the evening. He didn't look at his phone all day; he knew Luan Sihong would definitely call his phone desperately. Looking at his phone would be asking for trouble. Anyway, people in the municipal government who were looking for him knew the phone number of his secretary, Xiao Liu, and if there was an urgent matter, they would naturally find Xiao Liu.

After finishing dinner at the People's Bank, Cao Yuanhao took a car back to the municipal government guesthouse. On the way, he finally took out his phone, and one look at it scared his drunkenness away.
