Jing Tian successfully attracted everyone's attention, because this itself is a very sensitive issue.
It concerns their livelihoods.
If Wulin County's finances remain like this, they all might face unemploynt.
Over the years, Wulin County has implented many policies to attract investnt, like reducing taxes, offering land cheaply to build factories, and various bank support loans.
Indeed, there were people who intended to invest because of these policies, but later on, they all left, so even started constructing factories, but eventually gave up halfway, leaving behind abandoned buildings and hurriedly departing.
This has made the environnt in Wulin County even worse.
Who wouldn't feel uneasy seeing such abandoned buildings?
At this mont, everyone naturally paid close attention to Jing Tian, who took the initiative to bring up this topic.
"Everyone, we've done all we can, so have you ever considered that the predicant in Wulin County isn't because we're not working hard enough, but because of our feng shui—being bad?"
When she said this, everyone was stunned.
After a brief silence, everyone couldn't help but whisper and lightly discuss among themselves.
Talking about feng shui, it's okay for everyone to discuss it privately, but now we're in an administrative eting, aren't you promoting feudal superstition by saying this?
Although everyone is superstitious, talking about this in such a setting undoubtedly breaks institutional taboos!
"Vice Director Jing, you can't just say our county has bad feng shui. The economic problems should also be looked at internally. Has your promotion bureau really been trying its best these past two years, or is it just muddling through?"
The speaker was Mayor Gao Da, who will retire next year, so he speaks more freely now, not giving any face to Jing Tian.
The originally buzzing conference room instantly quieted down.
Jing Tian knew her words would surely be questioned, but since she had already spoken them, she couldn't give up halfway, so she said imdiately, "Mayor Gao, I admit that I have shortcomings in my work and haven't made any contribution to the economy of Wulin County during my tenure, but the feng shui theory I proposed is also for the sake of Wulin County."
"I know, saying these words at this mont is certainly taboo."
"But in my view, if it's for the economic developnt of Wulin County and for the people's livelihood, the words should still be said."
"Has anyone noticed our neighboring province's Jiangzhou City?"
"Back in the day, Jiangzhou City had a staggering fiscal deficit and lagged behind economically, ranking at the bottom among prefecture-level cities nationwide."
"They couldn't attract investnts, and city companies and factories closed down one after another."
"The economic situation plumted."
"It was really similar to our Wulin County's encounter."
"But, their secretary invited many geomancers to address the problem with Nine-Headed Mountain."
"How long has it been? Already more than thirty large financial groups have settled in, with the construction of Nine-Headed Mountain's cultural and tourism vacation district being in full swing!"
"The current Jiangzhou City is no longer what it once was."
"Isn't this because their Secretary Liu solved the feng shui array of Nine-Headed Mountain?"
Jing Tian spoke these words at the eting naturally after thorough preparation. As the Vice Director of the Investnt Promotion Bureau, she was very familiar with the situations of the surrounding cities.
Especially the situation in Jiangzhou City.
When she previously went out to attract investnts, she also encountered people from Jiangzhou City's Investnt Promotion Bureau.
Both groups were like fellow sufferers.
But not anymore; they now stand tall and proud!
This made Jing Tian very envious.
Because now, those investors wanting to enter Jiangzhou City have to queue.
Only Wulin County remains as unlucky as ever.
"We have heard about the situation in Jiangzhou City, but we are different from them; they are at least a city." Li Zhao tapped the table lightly, "Moreover, how do you know that Jiangzhou City's previous economic dilemma was due to feng shui? As far as I know, various forces there were also fiercely contending."
Jing Tian: "My new driver said it's because of feng shui."
Everyone: "..."
Hearing Jing Tian's words, everyone couldn't help but find it amusing.
A vice director actually listens to a driver's words, which seems quite absurd.
Gao Da shook his head, showing a mocking expression: "I'm not denying the feng shui theory, which is indeed profound and a treasure left by our ancestors. But not everyone can understand feng shui thoroughly; if this person you ntioned is so great, how could he be a driver?"
Everyone in the office nodded repeatedly; Gao Da's words clearly resonated with them.
To be honest, everyone now believes in feng shui, especially those in higher positions, big bosses, believe even more.
After all, many things indeed cannot be explained by common sense, even in Yanjing, there has always been a mysterious 749 Bureau.
To speak of recent events, even the hospitals of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan have special considerations in feng shui.
So things, just because you can't see them, doesn't an they don't exist.
"Vice Director Jing, your driver is so capable. Did he say how to solve the feng shui array in Wulin County?" Li Zhao asked with a smile.
Jing Tian: "He said that as long as nine Dragon Posts to Pacify the Sea are placed in the Southeast Square, it will break Wulin County's Feng Sha Array!"
Li Zhao hesitated: "Just that simple?"
Jing Tian: "Yes. He said the Great Way is simple, returning to the essence."
Gao Da appeared disdainful: "Isn't that remark too arbitrary!"
"Mayor Gao is right, can setting up nine stone pillars really change the economic situation of our Wulin County?"
"Anyhow, it's still a county; isn't this a bit too childish?"
The office resounded with buzzing discussions; nobody seed to believe Jing Tian's words.
Actually, the main reason is that they are unwilling to believe a problem troubling them for so many years can be solved by a re driver.
This confronts them sharply.
Jing Tian didn't know how to explain further; she had said what needed to be said, but if people didn't believe it, there was nothing she could do.
"Alright, eting adjourned." Li Zhao knocked on the table, evidently not wanting to waste more ti on this topic.
The participants gradually left the conference room, casting quirky glances at Jing Tian.
Jing Tian sighed.
She had originally been quite isolated here.
After the eting, it might get even harder.
...
County Party Secretary's Office.
After Li Zhao returned, Gao Da also ca in, sat on the sofa, took out a cigarette box, and lit a cigarette.
Li Zhao leaned against the office desk, sipped tea from a cup: "Old Gao, do you think what Jing Tian just said has any rit?"
