After my rebirth, I became the son-in-law of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary

Seeing her best friend's angry expression, Jian Shuyue's eyes were full of innocence, and she asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you? I just asked you if you knew this poem, why are you reacting so strongly? What a slut, what a pervert, you are defaming someone like this out of thin air, don't you feel guilty?"

Faced with this ugly face of putting the blame on someone else, Tian Tian couldn't help but sneer: "Don't try to be so rude. Why are you mentioning this poem for no reason?"

Lawyer Jian replied calmly, "I mainly want to express that Zhou Yi, on an autumn evening, was away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and was attracted by a place where chrysanthemums were in full bloom. He lingered and was intoxicated by it. This reflects Zhou Yi's special love for chrysanthemums. Of course, it also contains praise for the chrysanthemum's steadfast character that withers after enduring all kinds of hardships."

Tian Tian was stunned for a moment, and then got angry and asked, "Are you here analyzing poetry for me?"

She kept talking nonsense. It was a pity that she was not Zhou Yi, otherwise she would have made Jian Shuyue breathless and unable to utter a complete sentence!

"Okay, no more joking. How could a woman like me, who is so serious and pure, do such an indecent thing? After being my best friend for so many years, you still don't understand me?" Jian Shuyue said seriously.

Tian Tianxin said, "Come on, forget it. The first book "The Little Emperor's Uncle" that I read was found under your bed. The first applause movie that I watched was also because you dragged me to watch it together. My first kiss was also tricked away by you. My... forget it, it's all tears if I say too much. She can be said that her life has been ruined by her best friend and best girlfriend!"

"Zhou Yi hasn't come back yet?" Tian Tian looked at the time. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

She knew that Zhou Yi had invited Li Ruoyun and Zhao Qiu Shui from Jiangnan to dinner, as well as Sima Yanan and Shan Wenxu who had just arrived this afternoon.

Jian Shuyue did not attend the dinner mainly because of pregnancy reactions. It happened that she was in Shaohua to collect materials, so she could come and chat with her bestie to pass the time.

"He and Shan Wenxu are a pair of good friends. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, but they are still chatting enthusiastically. I have just sent a message. I will not be back tonight. I will stay at the city hotel with Shan Wenxu. It's a good opportunity for you to stay with me tonight!"

Lawyer Jane is very considerate and reasonable, and doesn't care at all that her husband spends the night out with his best friend.

Anyway, she didn't lose out, as she could sleep in the same bed with her best friend at night.

……

Zhou Yi's dinner with Sima Yanan, Shan Wenxu, Li Ruoyun, and Zhao Qiu Shui was also coming to an end.

All the men and women present here are his beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters. Even if someone adds money, he will just smile faintly and ignore it.

There is another purpose for today's dinner.

He intended to introduce Li Ruoyun and Zhao Qiu Shui to Sima Yanan and Shan Wenxu, so that his friends could become friends as well. This would be beneficial to everyone.

Zhao Qiu Shui only drank two drinks, not because she was disrespectful, but because she drank too much and had bad drinking habits.

When Zhou Yi left Jiangnan a few years ago, she once held Zhou Yi's hand and placed it in her palm. She mistakenly felt that Zhou Yi was not angry, so she sang a song on the spot - Why don't you understand that my love for you is as deep as the sea...

Since then, she has never drunk alcohol again!

Although nothing worked out with this man, they got along well as friends. Anyway, she lived with Li Ruoyun, so she wasn't too lonely.

"How is the work in Gufeng City?" During the meal, Zhou Yi asked Shan Wenxu a topic that he was concerned about.

Lao Dan took office as mayor of Gufeng City, Liaodong Province at the beginning of this year. He jumped one level in two years and was promoted out of turn.

The main reason was that when he was the secretary of the Yangcheng Municipal Party Committee, the Xicheng Economic Development Zone was successfully upgraded to a national-level economic and technological development zone, and with the strength of one city (county), it contributed 50% of Qingyuan City's total GDP that year.

These are all real political achievements, and make Lao Dan's advancement this time a natural thing.

Shan Wenxu thought for a moment and replied, "The temple is small and the wind is strong; the pond is shallow and there are many turtles!"

Oh? Zhou Yi and Sima Yanan were stunned for a moment. From what Shan Wenxu said, the situation in Gufeng City seemed a little complicated, and the work did not seem to be going smoothly.

"Factionalism is rampant, the leadership is very xenophobic, the municipal party secretary You Junwei holds all the power, and my development team is short of resources and manpower, so if I want to clear this instance, it will probably take a lot of effort and time."

Shan Wenxu was deeply influenced by Zhou Yi's speaking style. He regarded his new term of office as a new dungeon and the enemies he faced as monsters of various levels and gatekeeper bosses.

Sima Yanan thought about it carefully, eh? You know what, this metaphor is really vivid and appropriate!

"Gufeng City's economic situation is not very good. The fiscal revenue is not enough to cover the expenditure. Now the government seems to be barely making ends meet by selling land. Alas, I feel it is so difficult now. I wonder how Mayor Zhou and Secretary Sima can teach me?" Shan Wenxu asked very humbly.

Sima Yanan smiled and said, "Win over the obedient ones, deal with the disobedient ones, and then you can free up your hands to focus on the economy. Isn't this a routine operation?"

Zhou Yi also smiled and nodded, saying: "As for economics, you are also an expert. You don't need us to teach you how to make use of local advantages."

Shan Wenxu glared at the two guys pretending to be confused, and continued helplessly: "Shouldn't the focus be on what I just said, 'the government sells land'? The old guy You Junwei is the one who has the final say. Before I came, they were engaged in large-scale infrastructure construction and were heavily in debt. I'm afraid you will be scared to death if I tell you about it. Now Gufeng City's debt ratio is as high as 154%, and the comprehensive debt ratio is 383%..."

When saying this, Shan Wenxu felt sad and envious. Looking at the pair of municipal party committee secretaries and mayors in front of him, they could be said to be a pair of men and women working together without getting tired, going out in pairs and advancing and retreating together. Unlike him, he could only work hard and shed tears by himself, and had to face all the problems by himself. It was heartbreaking just thinking about it.

Zhou Yi understood what the other party meant. Because the government was heavily in debt, the local finances were simply unable to repay the debts with just taxes and other income. The only effective means was to sell land.

Relying on land transfer can indeed ease fiscal pressure in a short period of time, but the consequence is that a large amount of land is in the hands of developers, the government's bargaining power over land decreases, the government's land transfer income decreases, and residents' housing costs continue to rise, further damaging the local land market.

"Then you should let that You Junwei go away first."

Zhou Yi and Sima Yanan share the same idea. If Shan Wenxu wants to focus on economic work, he must either get the full support of the municipal party secretary like him, or actually control the power of the standing committee.

Zhou Yi believed that with Shan Wenxu's power, it would not be difficult to get You Junwei to leave Gufeng.
