(Seeking Subscriptions)_1 Zhongjing City Governnt, Mayor’s Office.
10 a.m.
Mayor Ji Mingyang sat behind his desk, dealing with a pile of tasks.
Since starting at 8:30, he had been sitting for a full hour and a half.
During this period, he didn’t drink any water, use the restroom, or take any breaks.
This was Ji Mingyang’s work habit.
In earlier years, he could maintain this state for two hours, but not anymore.
After all, he was getting on in years and his body couldn’t take it anymore.
As soon as the clock struck ten, the small alarm clock on his desk began to chi.
It was placed there by Zhang ng as a reminder for Mayor Ji to pay attention to the ti.
When the alarm sounded, the office door was pushed open, and Zhang ng brought in a cup of hot tea.
The tea, brewed with boiling water, was ant to calm and soothe the mind.
It was too hot to drink right away and needed to cool down a bit.
This cooling ti was Mayor Ji’s rest period.
During this ti, he would chat with Zhang ng about sothing interesting to refresh his mind.
“Mayor, it’s ti to take a break!” Zhang ng said softly as she placed the tea on the desk.
“Hmm,” Ji Mingyang stood up, stretched his body, and headed to the restroom.
A few steps out, Mayor Ji stopped and asked, “Has it been a few days without any news from Bai Xiaosheng?”
“No,” Zhang ng shook her head and asked, “Should I give him a nudge?”
“No need, let him think it over more.
We don’t want to rush things,” Ji Mingyang said.
Despite his words, a trace of impatience could be seen in his eyes.
Another two to three days had passed by, putting them further behind Langbei City’s Tianzheng dia.
Watching the rival company about to submit their phase two review and increasing their progress gap, Mayor Ji was nearly unable to sit still with patience.
As Ji Mingyang left the office, Zhang ng’s face also took on a complicated expression.
He could tell that the Mayor was anxious!
Dealing with thousands of issues daily, and also worrying about Zhongjing dia’s application for benchmark enterprise status, Zhang ng felt a bit sorry for him.
“Otherwise, I’ll just give Bai Xiaosheng a call to inquire quietly,” Zhang ng couldn’t help but reach for his phone.
Before he could call Bai Xiaosheng, a call ca in—it was Bai Xiaosheng himself.
Zhang ng answered eagerly.
“Secretary Zhang, does the Mayor have a mont?
I would like to report to him,” Bai Xiaosheng’s calm voice was like tily rain to Zhang ng!
“He does!
I’ll arrange it, co over now!” Zhang ng said urgently.
After a brief exchange, Zhang ng ended the call.
The office door opened just as Mayor Ji had returned.
“Mayor, Bai Xiaosheng will arrive shortly to make his report!” Zhang ng imdiately inford him.
“Oh?” Mayor Ji’s expression visibly brightened, “That ans the kid might have so good news for !”
“Perhaps!” Zhang ng couldn’t help feeling a bit expectant as well.
He hoped that Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t disappoint them.
Zhang ng specifically called over a secretary to wait for Bai Xiaosheng at the entrance.
This was not a courtesy extended to just anyone.
After setting that up, Zhang ng continued to chat with Mayor Ji about the latest news from various circles within Zhongjing City.
These circles included both the salaried class and the wealthy elite.
Zhang ng was responsible for gathering these stories, which he would share with Mayor Ji during these fragnted tis.
In this way, Mayor Ji could relax while staying inford about the dynamics of Zhongjing, a practice that killed several birds with one stone.
Hearing about Bai Xiaosheng’s increasing prominence and the endless rumors surrounding him, Mayor Ji almost laughed.
“It seems that our Zhongjing dia General Manager has beco quite the celebrity, very well-known indeed,” Mayor Ji chuckled.
“Maybe he’s not even aware of it himself.
Should I give him a hint?” Zhang ng laughed.
“Forget it, what can Bai Xiaosheng do about other people’s gossip?
Let them talk if they like; Bai Xiaosheng probably won’t care anyway,” Ji Mingyang said with a smile, shaking his head.
“That’s true,” Zhang ng said with a laugh.
Before the tea was finished, a knock ca at the office door.
Then, the secretary walked in with Bai Xiaosheng.
Ji Mingyang and Zhang ng imdiately smiled.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear—Bai Xiaosheng was summoned by re ntion.
“Mayor Ji, Secretary Zhang,” Bai Xiaosheng greeted them both.
When it was just the three of them, there was no need for formalities, and they were completely at ease.
“The mayor and I have been waiting for you for a long ti, hoping you would bring us a surprise,” Zhang ng said with a smile.
Ji Mingyang looked at Bai Xiaosheng with an amused expression.
“Surprise… I suppose there might be so,” Bai Xiaosheng said with an oddly quirky smile.
He took two printed docunts out of his bag and handed one to each, Ji Mingyang and Zhang ng.
“I’d like to ask for the mayor’s and Secretary Zhang’s review, and I welco your guidance.”
“Why so formal?
We’re all friends here!” Mayor Ji teased with a laugh, taking the printouts—there was quite a stack.
He placed them on the desk in front of him, put on his reading glasses, and skimd through at a rapid pace.
After reading a little more than one page, Ji Mingyang’s expression changed.
His smile faded, and his eyes revealed surprise.
“To surpass Tianzheng dia of Langbei City by conventional ans is clearly inadequate.
We need an unorthodox approach—this strategy might be a bit unconventional,” Bai Xiaosheng warned ahead, as if giving the mayor a heads-up.
Ji Mingyang did not express any agreent or disagreent.
anwhile, Zhang ng stood by reading his copy, also scanning the docunts quickly and covering more than one page.
Zhang ng’s expression underwent a drastic change, filled with disbelief.
Bai Xiaosheng dared to think big!
This was essentially about rallying the whole city around Zhongjing dia to fight a supporting battle!
The key was that such a bold move, with such an impressive scale—this wasn’t just an offbeat play as Bai Xiaosheng had described.
This was like deploying heavy artillery.
The command of “fire” would startle all directions!
How would the other prefecture-level cities view this, and how would the provincial leaders see it!
Bai Xiaosheng, have you gone mad!
This was really ahead of the ga—not by a little, but by a great deal!
Zhang ng couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Looking at Bai Xiaosheng, he exclaid in shock, “This is a bit too, a bit too…”
Zhang ng wanted to say it was “a bit too exaggerated.”
“Not bad, quite interesting!” Mayor Ji suddenly interjected.
With a very serious tone!
Zhang ng looked at the mayor in disbelief.
Mayor Ji was known for his pioneering spirit and foresight, but he was not one to lose touch with reality or run blindly towards an idea.
He was also a man of action.
So, did he agree with Bai Xiaosheng’s outrageous proposal?
Mayor, be mindful of the impact!
If you took this step and it slipped, you might find yourself in trouble.
Zhang ng wanted to say.
“Alright, since you find it interesting, shall we give it a try?” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh.
You really grab any opportunity to climb higher!
Zhang ng couldn’t resist the urge to roll his eyes.
“Let’s give it a try!” Mayor Ji said, giving the desk a light slap and laughing.
Zhang ng: …
His expression was one of resignation.
