In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"No...it's a misunderstanding..."

Wen Yiyan covered his head and begged for mercy, explaining, "Half of these 500 people came from us and the other half from Yunnan Province. Our main support consists of vocational education teachers, liaison officers, religious affairs personnel, research teams, and on-duty supervisors."

"There is a severe shortage of highly skilled professionals."

"That's more like it!"

Wu Chunlin shook his hand and put the person up from the ground. "You can find the religious personnel yourself. As for the others... hehe, 10 yuan a year for each person. Your United Front Work Department will pay for it."

The United Front Work Department has a relatively small annual budget, but it can leverage a considerable amount of funds through the Federation of Industry and Commerce and private enterprises in Handong.

"good!"

Wen Yiyan rubbed her sore arms and gritted her teeth in agreement. For the sake of improvement, she would give it her all!

"That special fund will also be paid by your department."

Lin Zhiyuan added quietly.

Hehe, the provincial government only has so much money in a year, and it's already November, so every little bit saved counts.

"Fuck you."

Wen Yiyan became anxious.

A wild boar charged straight at him, grabbing the miser by the neck and shaking him violently. "Give me the money!"

"You bastard, you're giving billions to Jingzhou and Old Li, but I don't get a single penny, is that it?"

"The initial plan for the united front project with Yunnan is 2.5 million yuan, so you need to contribute at least two small targets."

"I'll strangle you if you don't give it to me."

Shit!

Lin Zhiyuan rolled his eyes. "Two small goals, how about two and a half million?"

"make a deal!"

Wen Yiyan decisively let go, showing no sign of being provoked or offended.

Handong is a major province receiving counterpart support, and it already has special funds to support it. The United Front Work Department is sufficient to endorse the project and approve the funding.

However, this two and a half million...

Hey!

Once it's in his hands, he can legally and compliantly raise 25 million or even more in investment, all he wants is the prestige of a provincial government leading the effort.

Two plus one…

The planned scheme can be discarded; he wants a super-deluxe version that will shock the people of Yunnan.

Lin Zhiyuan: ?

I was careless this time and didn't flash.

"quack!"

Yang Wanli was delighted; finally, someone had punished this bastard.

"Luzhou is different. We have everything ready, we just need the right opportunity."

"so…"

Yang Wanli said smugly, "I plan to make plans ahead of time."

These words were spoken.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"What are you planning to do?"

Li Dakang was a little panicked. Luzhou was the only rebellious son who could threaten Jingzhou's GDP.

"I watched your video, and I thought it was pretty good."

Yang Wanli raised an eyebrow and said, "I plan to replicate this in Luzhou, and after reaping the benefits of the traffic in Jingzhou, I will directly take over the traffic."

"Um?"

Li Dakang breathed a slight sigh of relief, but dared not give up completely. "What exactly are you planning to do!"

Yang Wanli's smile grew increasingly grotesque. "In recent years, people's wallets have become fuller, and they have more energy to pursue some additional needs."

"What the people like and enjoy is what we should focus on in our development."

Although Yang Wanli's words were vague, everyone could more or less guess what was going on from the other party's perverted smile.

"Ahem!"

Liu Changsheng intervened and reminded them, "Making money is important, but we still need to abide by the law."

"That's very standard."

Yang Wanli muttered in dissatisfaction, "Hey, do I look like that kind of person?"

Hard to say!

The expressions on the faces of the others were hard to describe.

"Old Lin!"

Yang Wanli quietly shifted his chair, squeezing between Lin Zhiyuan and Fang Denggao, and expertly put his arm around their shoulders. "You and Qi Tongwei have always had a good relationship. Could you lend me some men? Also, I heard you have some connections with the military. Could you ask them if they have any spare personnel?"

"Let's not talk about anything else!"

"We definitely won't skimp on their salaries. If active duty personnel aren't good enough, I'll take retired ones too."

"Our Luzhou can also help solve the re-employment problem for a group of veterans."

"No need to thank us."

"As long as they send people, we guarantee they'll be well taken care of."

No!

Lin Zhiyuan refused outright; that would be too humiliating. He was a little worried about the big shots above him, so he went straight to Handong with a watermelon knife.

"Please, Lao Lin! Brother! Dad!"

"Don't force me to kneel down and beg you."

As night fell outside, the sounds of laughter and cheerful conversation could still be heard coming from Building 12.

"See that?"

Sha Ruijin stood on the balcony, looking at the brightly lit area, his teeth almost grinding to powder.

He deserves the recognition of uniting his colleagues in the team; shouldn't that be the glory he's basking in? How come it's all been taken by someone else?

Tong Li stood to the side, watching coldly. "It's just a temporary celebration."

Also looking at Building 12 are tall plants.

"It's late and cold, get some rest!"

Wu Huifen came to Gao Yuliang's side and draped a coat over his shoulders.

"It's so lively!"

Gao Yuliang murmured.

"That's different."

Wu Huifen replied, "You are the setting sun, while she is the midday sun. I heard that Miss Yan also arrived today."

The words were blunt and cruel.

Gao Yuliang didn't reply for a long time, then patted the other person on the shoulder, "You go back and rest first, I want to stand for a while longer."

"good!"

Wu Huifen left without much hesitation.

Gao Yuliang took a deep look at the departing figure, then took out a pack of unmarked cigarettes from his pocket, which Lin Zhiyuan had given him half a month ago.

Enveloped in mist!

Standing in the white fog, Gao Yuliang could do so little in this escalating storm in Handong.

His opponents were all provincial party committee officials who came with special historical missions. The current leadership team included the Shajiabang faction headed by the squad leader, the powerful provincial government faction, the aloof provincial military region, and him, an outcast and lonely figure.

How ridiculous!

Just a month ago, he was considered Liao's successor as a senior local full-time deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, but in the blink of an eye, he has become a marginalized figure.

The only two backers...

The senior brother couldn't easily step forward, and the Zhao family remained hidden, or rather, Zhao Lichun was too busy fighting the Qin and Zhang families to care about anything else.

The arrangements in Handong were entirely in line with Lin Zhiyuan's wishes; they even considered sending him over as a bonus.

He seems to be truly becoming a thing of the past.

Shajiabang appears to be courting, but in reality, it is being used as a pawn at will. The provincial government faction seems to be turning a blind eye, but it is gradually eroding the political and legal system.

The red glow of the cigarette illuminated his face.

A strange smile slowly spread across Gao Yuliang's cold, hard face.

That's great!

Nobody took him, a third-place finisher in the province, seriously.

"Liangping, among all my students, the one I like the most is not Qi Tongwei, nor Chen Hai, but you, who seems reckless but is actually a master of swordsmanship."

"Don't let your teacher down!"

Suddenly, the golden shackles are broken; the jade locks are shattered. The tide rises on the Qiantang River; only today do I realize who I truly am.

"The golden shackles have come off by themselves, now Teacher Yu Suo is counting on you."

"My most satisfying student!"

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"
