Chapter 626: Chapter 625, Riding a Tiger and Finding it Hard to Dismount

”Secretary Wu, this is the proposal Director Xu prepared earlier, please take a look.” Deng Changhai placed the proposal in front of Wu Qingyuan.

As Wu Qingyuan reviewed it, he offered his opinion, ”I think Director Xu’s proposal is quite reasonable. Our province currently relies heavily on energy-based power generation.”

”Although our province hasn’t faced an energy shortage yet, the world is advocating for energy conservation and environmental protection. We should also respond by implementing new energy power generation.”

”Moreover, we have unique advantages here. We can completely apply to build a large seawater power plant.”

”In this way, we can completely solve the power problem in our province and contribute to Haicheng’s carbon neutrality efforts.”

”The idea is indeed good.” Wu Qingyuan did not hide his praise for the proposal and knew that Xu Wendong wasn’t just here for show.

If he didn’t have some capabilities, he wouldn’t have come up with such an idea.

”But...”

”If I remember correctly, Jiang Family Village is the most remote mountainous area in Haicheng, right?” Wu Qingyuan suddenly asked.

Deng Changhai replied, ”Yes, the Jiang Family Village has no land route. To enter or leave the village, one must travel an hour by boat.”

Wu Qingyuan stood up and walked to the wall behind his office chair, where a map of Haicheng was hung, showing the geographic location of the Jiang Family Village.

Located on the easternmost coastline of Haicheng, it was a very remote location.

”Building a seawater power plant here does have one advantage, we don’t have to worry about damaging the existing ecological landscape,” Wu Qingyuan said, ”but there’s a very real problem, the investment cost will skyrocket!”

”That’s also my concern,” Deng Changhai said, ”If it were a small project, it wouldn’t matter much. We could scrape together the funds to solve the problem.”

”But building a seawater power plant is no small matter.”

”It’s a project that benefits the nation and the people. It can’t be completed without hundreds of billions.”

”If indeed built in Jiang Family Village, the investment cost will increase by at least twenty percent!”

”Things that can be solved with money are not problems,” Wu Qingyuan smiled, then called in his secretary to deliver two additional proposals to Mayor Sun Jian and Deputy Mayor Jiang Yuanbo’s offices.

”Alright, you can go back. I’ll have someone inform you of any news.”

”Okay, Secretary Wu.” Deng Changhai politely left Wu Qingyuan’s office.

Although Wu Qingyuan didn’t say much.

But Deng Changhai wasn’t foolish either.

The fact that Wu Qingyuan didn’t outright reject the proposal indicated a great deal of feasibility.

The next step was to await opinions from the other leaders.

If the other two leaders also had no objection,

then this proposal would soon be sent to the relevant provincial departments for approval.

Simply put,

the project was already sixty percent complete.

Because the other two leaders weren’t fools either.

They naturally understood Wu Qingyuan’s attitude. If he wasn’t interested in this project, he would have immediately rejected it.

After Deng Changhai left, Wu Qingyuan’s eyes remained on the map on the wall, but he was thinking about Xu Wendong.

He spent several days learning in the provincial capital, utilizing many connections to investigate Xu Wendong.

But found nothing.

It was as if this person appeared out of thin air.

This raised a sense of uneasiness in him.

Because he didn’t understand the purpose of Xu Wendong coming to Haicheng.

However,

considering the current situation,

Xu Wendong was coming in strong!

The proposal to build a seawater power plant alone exposed his ambition.

He wanted to use this project to achieve instant success!

------

”I thought Xu Wendong would quiet down for a while.”

”But I never expected him to play such a trump card on me!”

Jiang Yuanbo looked at the proposal in his hand, his eyes flickering with intimidating chill.

When Xu Wendong first arrived in Haicheng, he created trouble, offending Wang Jun and attracting powerful enemies.

He thought Xu Wendong would definitely cool down for a bit during this time.

But he never imagined, even in his dreams, that this guy not only didn’t quiet down, but even targeted his hometown, Jiang Family Village.

This was simply a slap in his face.

Because everyone knew the city previously planned for Jiang Family Village, hoping the villagers would relocate, but he refused.

Now Xu Wendong proposed to build a seawater power plant there, wasn’t this a slap in his face?

”Uncle, what should we do?” Jiang Yuanbo’s secretary, named Jiang Lin, was his nephew.

”I don’t know what to do either!” Jiang Yuanbo sighed deeply.

Actually, he knew well.

His vote was crucial.

If he vetoed Xu Wendong’s proposal, the project would certainly be delayed.

But why should he veto this reasonable proposal?

Why should he oppose a project that benefits the country and the people?

What meaning would that have?

But if he agreed to this project,

it would surely confirm that he and Xu Wendong were secretly plotting against Wang Jun.

After all,

the location of the seawater power plant was Jiang Family Village!

That was his home.

Agreeing to demolish his home so easily would surely make others speculate about the deep connection between him and Xu Wendong.

In short,

this proposal from Xu Wendong put him between a rock and a hard place.

Agreeing wasn’t right.

Refusing wasn’t right either.

This was the first time Jiang Yuanbo had experienced such a dilemma in his life.

”Uncle, why don’t we just get rid of Xu Wendong?” Jiang Lin cautiously suggested.

Since they couldn’t resolve the issue,

they might as well deal with the person who brought it up.

”Bastard, do you think Xu Wendong is Shen Wenhui?” Jiang Yuanbo let out a heavy snort, ”This young man managed to become the Deputy Director of the Planning Bureau at such a young age. How could you imagine the forces backing him?”

”If something happened to him, the higher-ups would surely investigate thoroughly. At that time, all of us would be in serious trouble!”

Jiang Yuanbo wanted nothing more than to eliminate Xu Wendong,

because before he even had direct contact with Xu Wendong, he had already been significantly harmed.

But he dared not kill Xu Wendong, as he was wary of the forces backing him.

Those forces that they couldn’t uncover!

Jiang Lin was full of anxiety, ”But, our village can’t be demolished!”

A cold gleam flashed across Jiang Yuanbo’s eyes, ”Even if it has to be demolished, it won’t be done quickly. We just need to send Xu Wendong away before the demolition happens!”

Jiang Lin was delighted, ”Uncle, have you thought of a way?”

”I have a plan, but the cost is high!” Jiang Yuanbo felt a pang of loss, but given the circumstances, he had no other choice.

The priority was to help Xu Wendong achieve more political accomplishments as soon as possible, so he could be transferred out of Haicheng.

In this way, the previous proposal could be quietly shelved.

Even reopening it,

their plan would have already been realized.

”Xu Wendong, I will give you everything you want, just hope you have the sense to leave with your achievements!”
