Gao Da took a puff of his cigarette, frowned, and said, "You don't believe her words, do you?"
Li Zhao sighed, "Old Gao, I've been here for over ten years. When I first ca, I was full of ambition, and you were in your pri. In the blink of an eye, you're about to retire, and I'm also feeling a bit worn out."
"Over the years, we've tried all sorts of thods and worked hard."
"But Wulin County is still the sa."
"Watching neighboring counties develop so vigorously, changing day by day, it makes my heart ache!"
Upon hearing Li Zhao's words, Gao Da County fell silent.
Li Zhao was younger than him. When he was transferred here ten years ago, Gao had just beco the county magistrate.
Back then, the two of them were ambitious, ready to make their mark.
They originally thought their efforts would surely make Wulin County prosper.
But reality slapped them hard in the face.
Li Zhao's expression slowly turned serious, "I never believed in these things before, but after witnessing so much over the years, I've had to believe. I think Comrade Jing Tian's idea is worth a try."
Gao Da frowned, "But it was Comrade Jing Tian's driver who said that. Can a re driver really understand Feng Shui?"
Li Zhao laughed, "Nowadays, short video platforms are very developed, and all kinds of Feng Shui videos are constantly erging. He might have co across so videos and then self-taught so Feng Shui knowledge. It's quite common. Don't laugh, because I'm learning too."
"But, he says that if we erect nine sea-stabilizing dragon pillars in the southeast, it will break Wulin County's Feng Shui array? We can't take that lightly."
"However, we can find a geomancer, perhaps from Hong Kong Island or Guangdong Province. If there really is a Feng Shui problem in Wulin County, it can be resolved."
Gao Da extinguished his cigarette butt, "Alright, let's settle it like this!"
...
Li Chuan was leisurely driving his Audi down the street. He had little driving experience, so he drove slowly but steadily.
Jing Ruyang watched Li Chuan drive with great interest. She was quite curious about why her sister had hired such a driver.
At that mont, Li Chuan's phone rang. It was Jing Tian calling, asking him to go to the county governnt building.
Li Chuan had no choice but to change his route.
"Sis! Where did you find this new driver? This guy is too bullying, calling wild, ungraceful, and rude!" Jing Tian had just gotten in the car when Jing Ruyang imdiately complained.
Jing Tian acted as if she hadn't heard her sister's complaint. She turned to look out the car window, massaged her temples, and said softly, "I just ntioned what you said in a eting."
Li Chuan was a bit surprised, "You ntioned it at the eting? In the eting?"
Jing Tian replied, "Yes."
"You really know how to pick your timing," Li Chuan chuckled bitterly. Although he hadn't been part of the system, he had experienced enough in Jiangzhou City. Even with major matters like Liu Zhenmin managing Nine-Headed Mountain, they were conducted confidentially. Ordinary Jiangzhou City officials didn't even know which geomancers Liu Zhenmin had invited; only a few leaders above bureau level knew, such as Zhao Donglai from the Public Security Bureau and the director of the Nine-Headed Mountain Forestry Bureau.
Now, Jing Tian had brought it up publicly in a eting, obviously breaching a taboo.
Jing Tian gave a wry smile, "It's because only this way can it receive adequate attention. Although no one supported it at the eting, I believe that Magistrate Gao and Secretary Li will take action."
Li Chuan nodded, "That's best."
Jing Tian: "But they certainly won't do it the way you suggested."
Li Chuan, full of confidence, replied, "As long as the topic is broached, then to resolve this Feng Shui array, they'll inevitably use my thod."
"Because only my thod can resolve this Feng Shui array completely!"
Actually, Li Chuan had long realized that as long as the county party secretary and the magistrate of Wulin County went to find a geomancer for this matter, it would definitely involve him.
Li Chuan had already made a na for himself in the Feng Shui circle; he knew masters from Guangdong Province, Hong Kong Island, and even Celestial Masters from Dragon Tiger Mountain.
So, Li Chuan was extrely confident in himself.
"Sis, what are you talking about? This Li Chuan just made so mad. Aren't you going to do sothing about it?" Jing Ruyang flared up, grabbing Jing Tian's hand and pouting, clearly unhappy.
Jing Tian looked helpless, "Xiao Yang, although I've not known Li Chuan for long, I can see what kind of person he is. It's definitely you who lost your temper again, right? You're not a little girl anymore, can you be a bit more mature?"
Jing Tian knew very well what kind of person her sister was.
Although Li Chuan had just started working here, judging by his actions and words, he was clearly a reasonable person.
Moreover, he had just started working for her, so why would he bully her sister for no reason?
Jing Ruyang: "..."
She originally wanted her sister to punish Li Chuan, maybe dock his pay a little?
Who knew her sister would actually take Li Chuan's side!
Not good! Could it be that her sister had taken a liking to this handso guy?
To be fair, this driver was really handso, had a great deanor, and carried a very pleasant scent.
Moreover, the main thing was his eyes, deep as the night sky, they drew you in at a glance, filled with a mysterious aura.
Such a man was simply a gem; any woman would like him.
But, this guy just mocked her for being wild, ungraceful, and uncultured!
Infuriating!
Li Chuan drove steadily, and shortly after, following the address given by Jing Tian, returned ho.
The ho of Jing Tian was a courtyard in an old neighborhood in the county center.
This courtyard was once the residence of Jing Tian's parents. Today was her father's fiftieth birthday, so the sisters hurried back.
After parking the car, Li Chuan did what a driver should do, opened the car door for Vice Director Jing, and went to the back to retrieve Jing Ruyang's luggage.
anwhile, an elderly man with a full head of silver hair, yet in good spirits, wearing a exercise outfit, walked out.
"Dad! I missed you so much!" Jing Ruyang ran up, gave the elderly man a big hug, and then, clinging to his arm, coquettishly said, "Dad, how co you have a birthday again! Ti flies so fast! Now I'm wishing that after each birthday, you'll get a year younger!"
Jing Tian's face also relaxed into a smile. No matter how hard she worked outside, at ho, she felt at ease.
"Li Chuan, you can head back first, co pick up later."
"Alright."
Li Chuan smiled, turned around, and left.
Just then, the old man called out to him, "Young man, wait a mont."
Li Chuan stopped and politely said, "Uncle, you called ?"
