Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

The next morning, in the mayor's office.

A newly printed proposal, still smelling of ink, was placed on Lu Chen's desk.

The cover of the proposal was designed to be extremely simple, yet it was visually striking.

A line of bold, black-lettered characters, like a battle flag waving in the wind, is full of high morale.

—Overall planning proposal for holding the first "Ningzhou International Marathon" and "Urban Vitality Carnival".

The signature at the end was two flamboyant characters.

One of them is Liu Ming, the director of the Ningzhou High-tech Zone Management Committee.

One is Xi Wanqing, the vice mayor of Ningzhou Municipal People's Government.

Lu Chen looked at the two names and smiled.

He knew that his junior brother had not only found him a "strategist," but had also dragged his equally unfathomable "confidante" onto the bandwagon.

This is hardly a marathon.

This is clearly a collective show of force by the "reformists"!

"You're quick, kid."

As Lu Chen flipped through the plan, without looking up, he chuckled and scolded the young man who was sitting casually on the sofa opposite him, leisurely sipping his treasured Da Hong Pao tea.

"I just casually mentioned it last night, and today you slammed a proposal as thick as a dictionary on my table? Did you plan this all along?"

"Senior brother, you're wronging me."

Liu Ming put down her teacup, looking completely innocent. "This plan was drafted by Mayor Xi and his team overnight. I was just an assistant, offering some immature suggestions."

"A mere suggestion, perhaps a little immature?"

Lu Chen picked up the plan, both amused and exasperated, and pointed to the lines of incredibly imaginative yet practical planning, reading aloud:

"...The 'track planning' aims to connect all the historical and cultural landmarks and modern commercial centers in Ningzhou, creating a 'golden track that transcends a thousand years'?"

"...For the 'event promotion,' you're going to partner with hundreds of mainstream media outlets both domestically and internationally for a simultaneous global live broadcast, and even invite top international sports stars to be brand ambassadors?"

"...'Commercial operations' involve global sponsorship, including auctioning off naming rights and prime spots? It's estimated that commercial sponsorships alone could generate over 100 million?"

"And this..."

Lu Chen pointed to the last chapter of the plan, his voice even changing slightly.

"...'Urban Vitality Carnival'?"

"To block off the city's largest square for the entire marathon weekend and host a food festival, music festival, e-sports competition, and drone light show?"

"How about transforming a sporting event into a city-wide carnival with everyone participating?"

Lu Chen closed the plan, took off his glasses, and rubbed his throbbing temples.

He looked at Liu Ming with the same gaze he would give a monster from another planet.

"Xiao Ming, tell me the truth."

"How exactly is your brain structured?"

"What you're doing isn't a marathon, is it?"

"You're clearly using the marathon as a pretext to...repackage and relist the entire Ningzhou!"

Liu Ming smiled.

"Senior brother, you've finally figured it out."

He stood up, walked to the huge map of Ningzhou City, and his eyes became deep and full of ambition.

"An ordinary marathon will at most make Ningzhou a hot topic in the news for two days."

"What I want is not excitement."

"What I want is a brand."

He picked up a red pen and drew a circle heavily on the map!

"I want to make the name 'Ningzhou' a super IP that is firmly linked to words like 'fashion,' 'vitality,' 'opportunity,' and 'future'!"

"I want everyone who mentions 'Ningzhou' to no longer think of those factories billowing black smoke and outdated heavy industry."

"Instead, it's a never-ending carnival!"

"Yes, a city of dreams that belongs to all young people!"

"This is the true image of a city!"

"This is the core competitiveness that attracts the best capital and the best talent!"

……

The entire office was deathly silent.

Only the central air conditioning made a slight humming sound.

Lu Chen sat there blankly.

He looked at the young man who stood confidently before the map, radiating boundless brilliance.

He could feel his heart pounding wildly and violently!

His heart, which had become somewhat cold and numb due to endless internal strife, was completely ignited at this moment by an unprecedentedly blazing flame!

He always thought he was already a leading figure among the "reformists".

But he only found out today!

Compared to this "prodigy" whose thinking is at least ten years ahead of this era!

His so-called "reform ideas" are as childish and ridiculous as children playing house!

"good……"

a long time.

Lu Chen managed to squeeze out a single word from his throat.

"good!"

He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly!

A fierce fighting spirit ignited in those bloodshot eyes filled with excitement!

He knew he had made the right bet!

Placing his bet on this junior brother was the best decision he ever made in his life!

"Xiao Ming!"

He walked up to Liu Ming and grasped his hand tightly!

"I not only agree with your plan!"

"I want to give you my fullest support!"

"I'll go to the finance bureau to get the money!"

"I'll draw people from various departments for you!"

"I'll personally go to the provincial government to get the policy details for you!"

He looked at Liu Ming and said, word by word:

"I only want one result!"

"That means making this marathon the first shot fired by me, Lu Chen, and you, Liu Ming, in Ningzhou!"

"One shot is enough to make the entire Jiangnan Province tremble..."

"Opening blast!"
