The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 553 A Rapid Promotion

"sure?"

Early in the morning, Chen Yuan arrived at the village committee office. After a brief moment of shock upon hearing the news from Chen Wenbin, he excitedly jumped to his feet.

"The official appointment document hasn't been issued yet, but it's basically a done deal," Chen Wenbin said with a smile, picking up the teacup on the table.

Chen Yuan let out a long breath and sat down again, his smile becoming even brighter.

Chongshi Deputy Mayor!

This is Chen Dong's latest appointment, a promotion indeed.

However, such a promotion is not without precedent. Wang Hongtao earned a lot of political achievements by developing a tourist resort, and was also appointed as a deputy mayor for the same reason.

Yucheng Village Leisure Tourism Resort is not just a resort. Whether it's Yucheng Film and Television, Three Sheep Tea, or Chen's Fishing Tackle, any one of them is a very good enterprise, and the tax revenue it can bring in will be very considerable.

These are also Chen Dong's achievements.

Yucheng Village alone is no worse than Wang Hongtao's project. The entire Yucheng Village project combined is far superior, so it is only natural that he should be a deputy mayor.

Besides, Uncle Dong is not without support.

"In last year's selection of the top 100 counties, our Yinma County has made significant progress in various indicators such as economic strength and growth potential, investment intensity, innovation vitality, development, green development, and prosperity, and has been successfully selected as one of the top 100 counties of the year."

Chen Wenbin blew on the tea leaves and took a sip, proudly recounting the county's achievements, "Moreover, Yinma County is also hailed as a county with the potential to challenge Kunshan, and the higher authorities have a very high opinion of Yinma."

Chen Yuan shook his head secretly as he listened.

Kunshan's position is hard to threaten. It has been the top city in the list of the top 100 counties (cities) for 20 consecutive years. No city can threaten its position.

Even so, Chen Yuan was still very happy, as it meant that Silver Horse had great potential.

"Yucheng Village deserves much credit for this achievement, which is why our Yucheng Village was selected as one of the top 100 villages in China in 2015." Chen Wenbin's smile deepened.

This is an achievement of Yucheng Village, and it is also a source of pride for Yucheng Village.

There are indeed top 100 villages, but the selection is not conducted periodically and is based on actual circumstances or needs. Each individual's status is also evaluated based on the circumstances.

In Sichuan Province, there has been no independent selection process until 2017, when the first batch of 100 top villages and 10 villages with the strongest collective economy were selected.

Given Yucheng Village's current achievements, when Sichuan Province conducts its self-evaluation, it will at least be among the top ten villages in terms of collective economy, if not the top 100 strongest villages in Sichuan.

After all, Yucheng Village is a true collective economy model, with village-enterprise cooperation driving employment and profit sharing for the entire village. In terms of the amount of money involved, its achievements are definitely among the best in the province.

"Where is Uncle Bin?" Chen Yuan asked tentatively.

Uncle Dong was able to get promoted based on this achievement, even though he was the project leader. However, Chen Wenbin's achievements as the village secretary of Yucheng Village are equally noteworthy.

Given Yucheng Village's achievements, promotion should not be difficult.

"The higher-ups did mention that I should join the township leadership team, but I'm a few years older than Dong Zixu, and my political career won't last long. Besides, my only wish in this life is to see Yucheng Village develop, so I'm prepared to stay in Yucheng Village for the rest of my life," Chen Wenbin said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Refused.

He had the opportunity to join the township leadership team, but his mind was entirely on Yucheng Village, and he didn't want to break free too much, so he chose to stay.

Chen Yuan sincerely admired Chen Wenbin.

Both the former village chief and Chen Wenbin, who took over the village, were wholeheartedly dedicated to leading Yucheng Village to prosperity and were willing to give their all for this goal.

The old village chief dedicated his entire life to the cause, and so did Chen Wenbin.

However, the tide of the times is unstoppable, and Chen Wenbin, now middle-aged, has lost his fighting spirit. Even though he cares about Yucheng Village, he can hardly lead the development of the whole village.

But with Chen Yuan's return to the village, he saw hope again and his fighting spirit was rekindled. And now, Yucheng Village is getting better and better, exceeding all his previous expectations.

This was Yucheng Village, a place he had never dared to imagine, yet it was also the Yucheng Village he loved, and his roots. Therefore, he would spend the rest of his life here, continuing to accompany Yucheng Village. "The official documents haven't been issued yet, and not many people know about it. Don't spread the word. Even if Dongzi becomes the deputy mayor, the Yucheng Village project will still be under his jurisdiction," Chen Wenbin reminded him.

"Understood." Chen Yuan nodded with a smile.

After chatting with Uncle Bin for a while, Chen Yuan returned home. He had a bright smile on his face the whole way. He was happy for Uncle Dong and wanted to congratulate him, but then thought it best to wait until after the official appointment.

It didn't take long; just half a month later, Chen Dong's latest appointment document came down, and Chen Yuan immediately sent his congratulations.

The end of the month is fast approaching, and the CAA annual competition is about to begin.

Starting this year, Chairman Wang intends to delegate authority to Chen Yuan. The daily affairs of the fishing association, including recruitment and annual competitions, are all handled by Chen Yuan. He even takes Chen Yuan with him when coordinating with international competitions, and Chen Yuan is the one who discusses the matters.

These competitions, in terms of both format and process, were basically designed or discussed by Chen Yuan, who also had experience with last year's competitions and was familiar with all the procedures.

It's nothing more than personnel scheduling.

These were no problem for Chen Yuan.

At the end of March, the CAA annual competition officially began with the preliminary rounds of the Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Tournament, which, as always, started with provincial or regional preliminary rounds across the country.

In Chongshi, the preliminary rounds will accumulate points for four types of events, which will be considered as the Chongshi Fishing Association's quarterly event points competition.

"Work hard this year and strive to defend your annual Grand Slam title."

After the preliminary rounds at Chen Yuan Fishing Grounds concluded, Chen Yuan encouraged Wang Heng and the others who had advanced.

"Defending the title is extremely difficult."

Wang Heng smiled wryly and said, "After last year's competition, I believe many experts have been training and fishing. This year's level is absolutely incomparable. Moreover, there are uncontrollable external factors in any competition, so I dare not think about defending the title. I will just try my best to achieve good results."

“As long as the defending champion doesn’t fall, he’s still the champion. You’re still the Grand Slam winner of the year, what’s there to be afraid of?” Little Fish King patted Wang Heng on the shoulder and laughed.

Because of Wang Heng's fishing achievements last year, the terms "Grand Slam" and "Annual Grand Slam" have become commonplace, and the fishing community has also developed its own definition of the Grand Slam.

Winning all three events in a category of competition can be called a Grand Slam.

If you can also win the special category championship, plus the domestic and international championships of the fishing tackle brand, or even the team championship, it can be called the annual grand slam.

Of course, a true annual Grand Slam requires not only a team championship but also an individual ranking championship, and is essentially defined based on Wang Heng's performance last year.

"Don't even mention Brother Wang, you need to step up your game this year too. Your performance in the national finals was pretty good, you have a chance to move up. Often, the difference in prize money is significant just from one place." Chen Yuan looked at Little Fish King and encouraged him with a smile.

Little Fish King's performance was indeed quite good.

Judging from last year's results, when he performed well in the individual competition, he could reach the top 20 in the country, and occasionally even made it into the top 10. The gap between him and the top 10 was not large.

With a little more effort, it's entirely possible to break into the top ten nationwide, or even continue moving forward.

"We definitely need to work harder."

Little Fish King laughed and said, "Boss Chen has no idea how envious I was of Lao Wang's achievements and bonuses last year. I was so jealous."

"Haha~"

Little Fish King's words made Xu Bai and the others burst into laughter.

Who wouldn't be envious? Who wouldn't be jealous?

With championships galore and prize money galore, plus endorsements that propelled him to stardom, he's reaped both fame and fortune. Who wouldn't want to be the next Wang Heng?
But simply being envious and jealous is not enough, so during the off-season, Little Fish King and his friends fished whenever they had free time and tried various environments to hone their fishing skills.

I hope to achieve good results this year.
