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

Upon hearing this, Bi Yunyao opened his mouth, but when he noticed that the people around him were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, he knew that they were putting pressure on him.

What happens in the days to come depends entirely on his own choices.

He's dishonest. Because his brother Bi Yuntao is with Gao Yuliang, he still holds a position, but the actual power he wields may be greatly diminished.

To be honest, he can stamp anything under his jurisdiction.

Bi Yunyao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Secretary Li, I will resolutely obey all decisions of the organization, stand firm at my post, and ask for your and Comrade Yu Chen's guidance in assuming my new position."

"good,"

Li Dakang smiled with satisfaction, took out a pack of Liqun cigarettes, and handed them out to everyone. Finally, he gave one to Bi Yunyao, saying, "Comrade Yunyao, we have all witnessed your abilities, and we believe that you can do a good job in your post and make new achievements in your new position."

"During this period, you should have a good talk with Comrade Yu Chen and Comrade Quan Tao to ensure a smooth transition of work."

As he spoke, he took out a lighter, pressed it lightly, and with a "pop," a small flame shot out and approached him.

Seeing this, Bi Yunyao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head and reached out to protect her.

"The future development of Zhencheng will depend on everyone's concerted efforts. Let's put aside the unpleasantness of the past."

Liu Yuchen continued, "Comrades, Secretary Li's achievements in developing Lincheng and Jingzhou in Handong were remarkable. I believe that Zhencheng will also reach new heights under Secretary Li's leadership!"

"must!"

"must!"

Seeing the group's high spirits, Li Dakang couldn't help but think of the conversation Chu Shijun had with Xu Nuojun, the Party Secretary of Tianhe City, some time ago.

As of last year, Tianhe remained the leading city in Xinjiang, while Zhencheng ranked second in terms of economic size, though not by much.

The tasks assigned to them were: one to maintain their current level and strive for even greater success, and the other to try and surpass their opponent.

He's not young anymore; this is an opportunity, a chance to answer questions.

His father-in-law, Zhong Zhenguo, and Chu Shijun both told him that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this next step would be his final destination.

If we seize this opportunity, even if we can't stay in the local area in a few years, we can hope to advance further in other places. The sooner the better, so that we can continue our political career.

Finally, let's see if we can work hard and earn something, even something as prestigious as Zhao Lichun's, that would be enough. If not, we'll have no regrets in this life, at least we can be on the same level as Lao Gao, right?

"The comrades are very motivated, that's excellent!"

Li Dakang immediately replied.

"Let's set a small goal then. Our overall goal for this year is to surpass Tianhe and compete for first place. Are you confident?"

"What's so difficult about that?"

Liu Yuchen took a deep drag of his cigarette and said disdainfully, "Secretary Li, actually we already surpassed them by tens of billions last year, but that figure didn't include R&D expenditures. If the National Bureau of Statistics revises the plan to include R&D expenditures, we will already be number one."

"yes,"

Upon hearing this, Bi Yunyao also perked up. As the executive vice mayor in charge of economic matters, he naturally paid close attention.

"If Tianhe didn't have the geographical and political advantages of being the provincial capital, what would it have to compete with Zhencheng? They copy everything we do."

Do you copy everything from me?

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang suddenly remembered that Sun Liancheng had apparently copied a lot of things from Zhencheng back in Handong. Adding Tian Fengyi, who went to the Department of Culture and Tourism, made it even more outrageous—copying from all over the country.

When he went to a meeting, people from other places didn't treat him very well.

He immediately ignored that remark and said directly, "Alright, now that the first quarter is over, we're basically on par with Tianhe. The second quarter is just around the corner, there are still two and a half quarters left. Let's set a small goal: when the data comes out early next year, we'll surpass Tianhe by 50 billion. Any problems?"

Five hundred billion?

The group looked at each other; this wasn't difficult.

Liu Yuchen, however, was thinking more deeply. His appointment as mayor was a foregone conclusion. If he exceeded expectations, it would be an achievement, and the more he exceeded expectations, the better.

Moreover, since it's just the few of them now, they can make their point first. If it works out, someone will naturally bring it up; if it doesn't, none of them will expose his shortcomings.

As for the specific difficulties, he doesn't care. The municipal party committee issues policies, the municipal government implements them, and each department shares the burden. The pressure is then passed down to the districts, counties, and townships. He praises whichever district, county, or township performs well and criticizes whichever performs poorly.

There's a saying: "Those above just give a word, while those below run themselves ragged."

Even if it succeeds, he will definitely take the credit, but he won't get to suffer the hardships.

With this in mind, Liu Yuchen gritted his teeth and said, "Secretary Li, I think we should take bigger steps and surpass Tianhe by 100 billion!"

Li Dakang was taken aback, looked Liu Yuchen up and down, and said in surprise, "Comrade Yuchen, isn't this a bit too big a step?"

It's not that he lacks confidence, but rather that he has years of experience as a top leader or second-in-command. Right now, things are booming, and growth is normal, though some may be higher than others. But to surpass competitors of similar size by a hundred billion is truly difficult, and meticulous planning is required in all aspects.

It's important to understand that this 100 billion yuan is equivalent to the annual GDP of many cities in central and western China, and for some, it would take two years.

"Secretary Li, with the overall vision of Secretary Chu of the Provincial Party Committee, and with you, our 'economic general,' implementing specific policies in Zhencheng, and with everyone working together, I think we can give it a shot! Even if we don't succeed, at least we tried, and we can try again next year."

Liu Yuchen said in a deep voice.

That makes sense!

These words ignited the passion that Li Dakang had suppressed for the past two years. He thought of how Jinshan was building roads and developing the economy, and how Lincheng was developing its subsidence area, elevating Lincheng to the level of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. If that was possible back then, why not now that he had come to Zhencheng, which had even more development opportunities?

"Okay, then a hundred billion!"

Li Dakang took a deep drag on his cigarette and declared, "We must embody the pioneering spirit of the oxen and conquer the Milky Way!"

"Crush the Milky Way!"

"Crush the Milky Way!"

……

"Suppress Zhencheng!"

"Suppress Zhencheng!"

Tianhe City, Municipal Party Committee.

In the office, Party Secretary Xu Nuojun and Mayor Jiang Xueyu were also discussing the same topic.

"Comrade Xueyu, this Li Dakang is a formidable economic strategist and should not be underestimated."

Xu Nuojun said in a deep voice,

"Now that the province has undergone a series of clean-up campaigns, eliminating a number of corrupt officials and creating a clean and upright environment, our city should seize this opportunity. As the provincial capital, we must take responsibility and make achievements. How can we let others catch up?"

"As the Party Secretary and you as the Mayor, we two leaders must lead our teams well, stabilize the economy in the remaining two and a half quarters, move forward, and look to the future. We don't necessarily need to surpass Zhencheng by a large margin, but we must at least keep it under our control!"

"Secretary Xu, rest assured, I will do my best."

Jiang Xueyu said in a deep voice.

Xu Nuojun wants to improve, and so does he.

We need to send Xu Nuojun away first so he can get back to her, right?
