Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

One day later, at 8 a.m.

A convoy of vehicles drove to Handong International Airport and entered the airport through a special passage.

Chu Shijun, Yang Xiaofeng, Li Dakang, and their group boarded the plane.

Moments later, the plane took off.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Shangdu Airport.

Mu Yu, then Governor of Henan Province, and Li Qun, Secretary of the Shangdu Municipal Party Committee, arrived at the airport to pick him up as scheduled. (Readers, some parts will be in Baiyun.)

As soon as the convoy arrived, a plane landed at the airport, taxied for a while, and came to a steady stop. Airport staff quickly set up ladders.

Mu Yu and the others stepped forward, and reporters on both sides set up cameras, looking for the right angles and taking pictures one after another.

Soon, Chu Shijun led the way and stepped off the plane.

"Comrade Shijun, hello, welcome to the Central Plains."

Mu Yu reached out her hand and clasped Chu Shijun's hand tightly.

"Hello, Comrade Muyu."

"On behalf of Secretary Qiu, I extend a warm welcome to the representatives of the Handong delegation who came to Henan Province for inspection."

Reporters from both sides quickly snapped photos, the shutter clicking incessantly.

"Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Li Qun, Secretary of the Shangcheng Municipal Committee of our province, and this is…"

"..."

"This is Comrade Yang Xiaofeng, Executive Vice Governor of our province, and Comrade Li Dakang, Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee..."

"..."

After exchanging greetings with everyone, Mu Yu, Chu Shijun, and the others boarded the Coaster bus, and the convoy slowly drove away from the airport.

Police cars led the way, and banners were displayed along the roadside to express their welcome.

"Comrade Shijun, how about it? You've come all this way, and Comrade Li Qun said we should make it a bit more lively to show our gratitude for the support from Handong Province for the project," Muyu said with a smile, pointing to the banner by the roadside.

"Is there going to be a performance?"

Chu Shijun gave an irrelevant answer.

"Hehe, we did have it, but you guys said not to do it, so we had to stop their rehearsals."

Chu Shijun nodded, "Yes, there's no need for all this. As long as we can secure the project, ensure its smooth implementation, and bring tangible benefits to the people, then we can celebrate and perform with a clear conscience."

To everyone's surprise, Mu Yu shook her head. "Comrade Shi Jun, we haven't done anything here, but I heard that people in Qin Province are rehearsing urgently overnight. They say that since you're a fellow villager coming home, your fellow villagers have to make it a lively occasion."

"These guys..."

Since everything was already done, Chu Shijun couldn't very well call again to say to stop, otherwise, it would inevitably waste the time and energy of the people rehearsing.

……

Not long after, the convoy arrived at the provincial government.

After getting off the car, Chu Shijun and others warmly shook hands and greeted some of the leaders from Henan Province present, and then entered the conference room.

Mu Yu spoke first, saying, "Comrades, the delegation led by Governor Chu of Handong Province has traveled a long way to Henan Province to inspect new energy projects. This is both a sign of trust in Henan Province and an encouragement to our work."

"Henan Province is located in the Central Plains, with obvious locational advantages, a large population, and a consistently high electricity load. There is ample room for the absorption of new energy sources. Moreover, we have a solid foundation and comprehensive supporting policies in the fields of photovoltaics, wind power, and energy storage."

"Our goal is very clear: to build a demonstration province for the integration of new energy research and development and demonstration. We must not only ensure local energy supply, but also actively undertake the import of green electricity to help achieve the goal of 'new energy'."

"Governor Chu's team has extensive experience and strong capabilities in the field of new energy. We look forward to cooperating with you in depth, leveraging your technological and financial advantages, and combining them with Henan Province's market and policy advantages to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

"Thank you for Governor Mu Yu's candid introduction. We have deeply felt Henan Province's sincerity and determination. Along the way, we have also seen Henan Province's layout and achievements in the field of new energy, which is very inspiring."

"The core purpose of our inspection is to promote the interconnection of new energy sources between Shaanxi and Henan provinces. Shaanxi has abundant wind and solar resources and is responsible for the 'power generation end'; Henan has a vast market for power consumption and is responsible for the 'power consumption end'. With the help of the Shaanxi-Henan UHV transmission line, we can form an integrated closed loop of 'generation, transmission, storage and consumption'."

Chu Shijun stood up and said.

Yang Xiaofeng then added, "Governor Chu, rest assured, we have made full preparations at the policy level. Henan Province has clear preferential policies for land rent and approval procedures for new energy projects, and there are also special subsidies for energy storage projects. In terms of grid connection, we will open a green channel to give priority access and priority dispatch, so as to ensure that the projects are implemented, started, and effective as soon as possible."

"..."

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, during which the heads of the two companies conducted an in-depth analysis. Afterwards, Chu Shijun, Mu Yu, and the heads of Xinglong Group and Xinghui Group signed the agreement and took a group photo.

After the meeting, a Q&A session with reporters was held.

Reporter A asked, "Governor Chu, what is the core purpose of this new energy project? What are the significant implications for the development of our two provinces after its implementation?"

"Thank you for the question. The core purpose of our trip to Shaanxi and Henan provinces is to establish cross-provincial energy cooperation channels and achieve precise matching of resources and markets."

"Henan Province has a dense industrial base and a large demand for electricity, with a significant gap in the supply of green electricity. The two sides are highly complementary. After the project is implemented, it can transform resource advantages into economic advantages, drive local industrial development and increase people's income."

"This project isn't just about getting things done; it's about benefiting the people of both provinces, contributing to the development of western China, and ensuring that new energy truly becomes 'electricity for wealth creation' and 'electricity for peace of mind' for ordinary people."

Chu Shijun replied.

Reporter B...

……

The half-hour Q&A session with reporters ended quickly.

Afterwards, the group had a light meal at the provincial government canteen and then rested at the reception area.

That evening, news outlets in Henan Province and Handong reported on the meeting in detail.

"The close ties between Henan and Hubei are evident in the visit of the Handong delegation, led by Governor Chu Shijun. They warmly greeted Governor Mu Yu and engaged in in-depth discussions on new energy projects… demonstrating…"

"We are one family, and Governor Chu Shijun of our province, with his original aspiration to serve the people, along with the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, highly and resolutely support the Western Development Strategy and provide assistance..."

Over the next two days, the Handong delegation, accompanied by representatives from Henan Province, visited the site where the project was approved, greeted the local people, and Chu Shijun inquired about their living conditions, raising…

After visiting the Henan Province wind power cluster project, Chu Shijun, Mu Yu, and others shook hands warmly with the workers and took a group photo under the wind turbines.

Chu Shijun stated that my country's development process cannot be separated from the millions of ordinary people, and the people are the primary driving force for creating history.

Afterwards, the group watched a classic Henan opera at the Grand Theater.

Chu Shijun pointed out that Henan Opera is an important part of my country's opera culture and a significant chapter in traditional culture. It should be vigorously promoted so that more young people can understand and discover it. He also welcomed relevant troupes to perform in Handong. (The author is only in his early twenties, but has started enjoying opera in the last two years; he's really getting old.)

During this period, Chu Shijun and others visited universities such as Shangdu University, focusing on observing and listening to the teaching of relevant theoretical disciplines.

In response, Chu Shijun emphasized that Shangdu University is an excellent institution of learning, and students should be proud of their alma mater, study diligently, strengthen their ideological understanding, and enhance their theoretical and practical skills. Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

"I earnestly hope that students from universities such as Wuhan University of Commerce will be able to apply their knowledge to their lives and work in the future. I affirm the academic research of universities in Wuhan and Henan and put forward several expectations."

This concludes our three-day inspection and research trip to Henan Province.
