The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Tai Wan is about four kilometers from the main urban area. It is mostly woodland and mountainous, with very little farmland. The terrain is flat and open. The land is saline-alkali, so it is not suitable for growing crops. A lot of trees have been planted there, making it woodland.

Li Hong pointed to the map of Zhongshan Subdistrict Office: "The future development of Zhongshan Subdistrict Office will be carried out in Dawandi. A main road will be built there, and the agricultural wholesale market and cattle and horse market will be moved there, away from the main urban area. The later investment promotion will also be carried out in Dawandi."

Your choice of the Greater Bay Area shows your unique vision. You even considered who would be the first to move there and build up the community. When you're feeling sleepy, you've provided the perfect opportunity.

The opening of three top-tier high schools in the Greater Bay Area has brought huge popularity and significantly reduced the pressure on our work.

"We can't see anything on the map," Chen Shi said. "Let's go to the site and take a look."

Li Hong nodded: "Yes, seeing it in person gives you a better feel for it. I suddenly had an idea: three key high schools should be established in the Greater Bay Area, and all the schools in Zhongshan Subdistrict should be moved there to create a diversified development strategy with schools as the main body."

Wang Jianming chimed in, "Secretary Li's idea is excellent. Dawandi is a treasure trove of good fortune, and the future development of Zhongshan Subdistrict Office will be concentrated in Dawandi."

Chen Shi glanced at Wang Jianming; this guy was even starting to flatter Li Hong.

The group left the meeting room, got into three cars, and arrived at Da Wan Di.

After climbing a slope, the view suddenly opened up. The terrain of Dawandi was a few meters higher than that of the county town. The wind was very strong, and Chen Shi got out of the car, his eyes were squinting from the wind.

Huang Ming pointed to a relatively flat woodland: "Director Chen, this woodland should be four or five hundred acres, more than enough to build a key high school. The main advantage is that we can save some money on the land."

According to the documents issued by the county government, the price for requisitioning farmland is 50,000 yuan per mu, while the price for requisitioning forest land is 20,000 yuan per mu, which can save a lot of expenses.

One kilometer ahead is mountainous terrain, with three or four hundred acres of land for building a second key high school. To the southeast, there are woodlands, mountains, and farmland for building a third school.

Following Huang Ming's directions, Chen Shi identified the locations of the three key high schools and nodded.

"I have only one requirement for the site selection of the three key high schools: they cannot be built at the foot of the mountain. Safety is the top priority to prevent landslides and mudslides."

Huang Ming took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote it down.

Li Hong asked, "Director Chen, this place is quite nice, isn't it?"

"This is such a good piece of land, why is it all planted with trees? It should have been developed a long time ago."

Li Hong laughed and said, "I'm late. If I had been transferred to Zhongshan Subdistrict Office earlier, this area would have already been developed and become a new urban area."

The group chatted and laughed, and the new school location was roughly decided.

A week later, the Standing Committee convened and approved the educational reform policy of closing three township high schools and rebuilding three key high schools in the county seat.

The selection of the new school site has also been approved, and it will be located in the Greater Bay Area.

Once the news spread, many construction companies got wind of it and started making moves everywhere. Chen Shi received invitations to dinner every day. The inviters were all cadres at or above the section chief level. They were just there to accompany him. The real inviters were the construction companies, all of whom wanted to win the project worth over two billion yuan.

Chen Shi is now pushing things away whenever possible, feeling it's even harder than cracking down on organized crime in the Public Security Bureau. Everyone is eyeing this lucrative opportunity, and he's unwittingly offending many people.

On one hand, there was a lack of funds and the problem of raising money. Chen Shi racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good solution. On the other hand, influential figures in the county were all eyeing this lucrative opportunity.

The phone rang at an inopportune moment. Chen Shi picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zhang Kaizhi, the deputy secretary of the county party committee. He quickly answered it.

With a smile: "Secretary Zhang"

"Director Chen, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a couple of drinks."

Chen Shi hadn't expected that even county leaders would step in. Zhang Kaizhi was the full-time deputy secretary, so Chen Shi didn't dare refuse and smiled, saying, "Okay, I've been wanting to find time to report to Secretary Zhang about my work."

Zhang Kaizhi told them the time and place for the meal and then hung up the phone.

Zhang Kaizhi did not choose a courtyard house, but a farmhouse in the suburbs.

After get off work, Yang Bin drove Chen Shi to the farmhouse, where Zhang Kaizhi and a middle-aged man stood waiting at the entrance.

As soon as the car stopped, Chen Shi quickly got out, ran a few steps, and came forward to shake hands with Zhang Kaizhi: "Secretary Zhang, there was a bit of traffic on the way, so I'm late."

Zhang Kaizhi glanced at his watch: "Director Chen, you're not late, you're early, ten minutes ahead of the agreed time."

He looked at the man beside him: "Director Chen, let me introduce you. This is Yi Feng, the general manager of Yizhou Chengxin Group. They specialize in government projects. The new campus of Donghai University was built by them."

The Education Bureau isn't planning to build three key high schools in the county seat. You should talk to Mr. Yi more about this; they're professionals in this area.

Yi Feng smiled and handed over the business card with both hands: "Director Chen, this is my business card."

Chen Shi took the business card, glanced at it, put it in his pocket, and shook hands with Yi Feng.

"Welcome, Mr. Yi, to Chunyang County. Please build more housing developments."

Chen Shi skillfully changed the subject, not wanting to continue the conversation.

The three of them entered the farmhouse, which was luxuriously decorated and had long-legged waitresses.

Zhang Kaizhi said, "Director Chen, besides dining, this place also has a sauna, it's all-in-one entertainment. President Yi has come all the way from Yizhou, let's have a sauna first, and then eat, how about that?"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I'll follow Secretary Zhang's arrangements."

The three went upstairs to the changing room, changed their clothes, and Chen Shi was led by a waiter to a room that was empty. There was a hot sink and a table next to it with two bottles of red wine and two wine glasses on it.

There was a large bed not far away. Chen Shi asked, "Where are the two people who came with me?"

"Sir, we have separate baths here. They are next to you. Please take a bath first, and the masseuses will be here soon. If you are not satisfied, you can change them at any time."

After the waiter finished speaking, he turned and left.

Chen Shi thought to himself, what is Zhang Kaizhi up to? As long as he sticks to two principles, one is to resist money, and the other is to resist the temptation of beautiful women, no matter what tricks he uses, he can overcome them one by one.

Just as he entered the pool, a hot and beautiful woman came in, carrying massage tools. The room was a bit hot, so she adjusted the air conditioning, took off her coat, and wore a bikini. Her skin was snow-white, her figure was curvaceous, and she walked towards Chen Shi with a smile.

"Hello sir, technician number seventeen is at your service."

Before Chen Shi could speak, she had already gone into the water and come to his side, her cleavage faintly visible.

"Sir, let me give you a massage. It's very safe and discreet here. You can do whatever you want."

After the technician finished speaking, she pressed her body against Chen Shi's back, her full breasts pressed tightly against his back, and her soft hands began to massage his shoulders.

Chen Shi sneered inwardly. He was very clear-headed despite the temptation of the beautiful woman, but he still had a physical reaction.
